A Fresh Coat of Paint
This site was in desperate need of some TLC, so I crammed a full redesign into the last couple of weeks.

Fluid Radio reviews Moments Before by Matt Bartram
‘Moments Before’ casts Matt Bartram on a sea full of low slung shoe gazed waves and anti static walls of noise. I reviewed his fourth record ‘The Dreaming Invisible’ for this site in 2013. Back then I was wondering how he made such a big sound out of small means. Now I imagine I can […]

Avant Music News reviews “Lifenotes”
Review from Avant Music News of “Lifenotes” by Clem Leek: Clem Leek from Kent in the southeast of England is an ostensibly ambient composer who frankly invests too much emotion and melody in his music to be characterized as such.
