Kuma : Rainbow Kaleidoscope For Constants

If Canadian producer/musician Kuma isn’t DJ’ing or using bpms to make people move on dance floors, then he’s creating ambient soundscapes to get completely lost in. Much like conjuring beats and four-on-the-floor techno bangers, his work in experimental soundscapes is equally engaging. On last year’s Time Makes Memory Of Us All(released on UK label Soundtracking […]

Chris Corsano & Bill Orcutt : Made Out Of Sound

There’s an exquisite beauty and a freedom of artistic expression on Made Out Of Sound that takes flight once you hit play. It never lets up till the last note of the record as the soar of creativity flies off into the horizon. The veteran improvisers Chris Corsano(drums) and Bill Orcutt(guitar) make albums that fly […]

Zombi & Friends : Song Covers I Never Knew I Needed Till I Heard Them

There’s something quite magical about the recent covers series that Steve Moore, AE Paterra, and Daron Beck have been cooking up in these troubled times. Who are Steve Moore, AE Paterra, and Daron Beck you ask? Well Moore and Paterra are the guys behind the prog/synth duo Zombi. They’ve been making progressive horror/synth music for […]

Floating Points & Pharoah Sanders : Promises

Promises is an album I never would’ve imagined to have been created, yet here I am talking about it. British producer Sam Shepherd, aka Floating Points, and experimental jazz legend Pharoah Sanders coming together to create a collaborative ambient album seems like something of a strange dream. But this is no dream. Shepherd wrote the […]

Ulrich Schnauss and Jonas Munk Are In “Perpetual Motion”; ‘Eight Fragments Of An Illusion’ Out 4/23

The music of Ulrich Schnauss and Jonas Munk is both reminiscent of their individual works and completely it’s own intimate beast. Both musicians are adept, prodigious even, in the studio. The studio is an extension of themselves; an instrument to be used much like a synthesizer, guitar, or sequencer. They not only build music, but […]

Spring Break

For most spring break is that time of year where you pack your bags, load the station wagon, and head down south to the dirty finger known as Florida. The family basks in solar rays, beach hangs, and poolside drinks alongside drunk coeds and the neighbors from home because half your hometown followed you to […]

“I drink your milkshake!”

One of the great things about having a teenager that’s into good art; be it music, films, books, etc, is that you get to go back and revisit all those great films they haven’t seen yet but you have. My son and I have been doing this for a couple years now. First it was […]

Zombi Drop The Stunning “Black Forest”; ‘Liquid Crystal’ Out In May

Last year Zombi, the prog/synth duo of Steve Moore and AE Paterra, released the excellent album 2020. An aggressive shot of dark and heavy electronic music that was just what we needed in the tumultuous summer of 2020. It was the most raw piece of music Zombi had released up to that point. Then just […]

Sankofa : The Most Delicious Gold

Stephen Bryden, aka Sankofa, loves shoes. He also loves a Bravas dog, educating those that need it, poking the bear, and a good beat he can rap over. Did I say he loves shoes? Sankofa has been a Fort Wayne artist/staple for long enough now that he should be given the keys to the Fort. […]

Five Years Without A Lost Time Accident

Five years. It’s been five years ago today that I limped into the Parkview O.N.E. facility in Fort Wayne, IN and went under the knife. March 31st, 2016 was the day I had a date with an orthopedic surgeon(one whom I can no longer remember his name) and he filet’d my lower back open and […]
