DreamScenes 2016 – 02
“Uut de Bron” / From the Well: fresh music for February, ambient sounds, choirs & otherwise…
Anna Thorvaldsdottir – In The Light of Air
With her new album ‘In The Light Of Air’, Anne Thorvaldsdottir once again shows that she is one of the most innovative contemporary composers, and has developed a style that is almost immediately recognisable. And unmistakeably Icelandic in nature.
Ryuichi Sakamoto, Alva Noto with Bryce Dessner – The Revenant OST
Soundtracks are hot. And quite a lot of them border on ‘ambient’ music because of their inherent atmospherics. Or on ‘post-classical’ music because of their instrumental arrangements.
‘The Revenant’ combines the best of both worlds!
Autistici & Justin Varis – Nine (+ Remixes)
Autistici (David Newman) and Justin Varis present eight ‘synaesthetic’ interpretations of various colours.
They are completed with another eight remixes from different artists that seem put the colours in the perspective of their surrounding landscapes.
Together, these two cd’s are a truely caleidoscopic collection!
Various Various
A few compilations to start the year with: well- and lesserknown artists, a lot of unreleased material, and most of them offered as a free download too!
