Sonarpilot – ‘CodeX’ And ‘Imperium’

September 29, 2020

Sonarpilot is the earth name for Michael Moppert, who holds that there’s a sort of code – a matrix even – that is the basis for all of physical reality. Formed of patterns and rhythms that can’t be detected with our existing devices, could these nonetheless form the very basis of our world, situated just beyond the extremes of our perception? While this might all sound a bit Arthur C Clarke, it’s an interesting theory, and if it exists, it’s very possible that music might be at the heart of it all, and in the hands of electronic multi-instrumentalist Sonarpilot, we could well find out what the truth out there actually is.

Hidden Beams – ‘Hidden’  

September 28, 2020

Carlos Argon, performing as Hidden Beams, uses his project as a creative outlet by which to tap into the lives of others. Having recorded and performed all over the world, as well as released many albums, Argon uses found sounds, improvisations, and self-composed segments, in order to create his often avant-garde pop rock songs. His most recent release, ‘Hidden’, is his latest offering, serving as, like the name Hidden Beams itself, a metaphor to describe those hidden forces at play in our lives, which pull and push us, forging them into shape.

Casual Fog – ‘Comin’ For Thee’

September 23, 2020

From Northern California comes Casual Fog, not a description of a weather formation, although they really do know their fogs up that way, having a variety of them, depending on whether you’re on the coast or in the valleys. But Casual Fog is the brainchild of Ryan Donnelly, who’s so far, over the past 15 years, released 9 albums and EPs. ‘Comin’ For Thee’, from the latest album, ‘In Still Delight’, which was released on September 18, rolls in stealthily, just like the fog in the band’s name, and before you know it, you’re completely subsumed.
