The Vessel: A Tribute to African Music
African music has long been a wellspring of rhythmic innovation, spiritual depth, and communal storytelling. Its polyrhythmic structures, call-and-response vocals, and layered percussion have profoundly influenced global genres—from jazz to funk, and from Afrobeat to contemporary electronic music. This rich tapestry of sound and meaning forms the foundation upon which Colombian multi-instrumentalist Jaime Ospina builds his latest album, The Vessel.

Vrihi by Lorenzo Brilli, Pages Made of Sound
Lorenzo Brilli is not just a composer—he is a contemporary storyteller who uses sound as his language and rhythm as his syntax. In his latest album Vrihi, released by Esc.Rec, Brilli invites listeners into a world shaped by layers of texture, minimalism, folk traditions, and experimental electronics. The result is a sonic narrative that feels deeply rooted in the past yet strikingly modern. This is an album that demands to be experienced rather than simply heard.

Panpsychism by Test Patterns
I’ve always been drawn to the idea that consciousness isn’t a privilege reserved for humans. What if everything—objects, places, even the air between us—has its own form of awareness? It may be beyond our comprehension, but it’s a poetic and powerful notion. This idea is called panpsychism, and it’s the perfect name for Test Patterns’ latest album.
