Fragile X : Between Worlds

On the latest from Fragile X, the windswept and cavernous Between Worlds, musician/producer J. Gorecki goes deep into cosmic soundscapes and ambient vibes. Listening to this album is like deep-diving into the universe’s psyche. The sound of existential static at the end of some galactic phone line that seemingly reaches to and past infinity.

Andy Fosberry : (connection lost)

Andy Fosberry seems to be a musical wizard. Seriously, I think there’s some black magic going on with this incredible UK composer.
