A Sonic History for Adventurers

Exotic and familiar sounds, radical reworks and ambient dynamism. Nick Luscombe welcomes you to share an exciting sonic history.

Exotic and familiar sounds combine in the latest record by the ever-evolving Colorado collective Biota who thrive on walking the line between ambiguity and transparency. The traditional koto playing of K艒hei Amada gets a radical reworking by the producer Sugai Ken who transforms the sonic palette whilst retaining small motifs. French composer and producer David Chalmin, who鈥檚 worked with anyone and everyone from Madonna to Bryce Dessner, releases his first electronic album of ambient dynamism. Interjecting with words of encouragement and helpful facts is Nick Luscombe, inviting you to share an exciting sonic history.
