When I sat down with Estonian composer and intermedia artist Kristjan Kannukene, I knew this conversation would be something special. Kristjan is not only the head of HetkFest, a young but already vital festival for improvised arts in Estonia, but also a musician whose work bridges sound installations, improvisation, and academic research. Currently pursuing his doctoral studies on the symbiosis of viola and voice, he has been exploring ways to merge different sound worlds in

When a composer like Lauré Lussier releases a new work, one does not approach it lightly. His previous compositions, haunting, intricate, often cinematic, have already established him as a contemporary voice who blurs the lines between orchestration, sound design, and storytelling. Driftsways by Lussier takes another bold step forward. This two-part electroacoustic work, comprised of “Themes & Variations” and “Rondo,” is less a collection of pieces than it is a sonic architec

As someone who has had the honor of working with Matteo Ramon Arevalos, listening to his new album LEO felt like stepping once more into a realm of sonic wonder—a place where the familiar transforms and the piano becomes not just an instrument, but a world.

Like a mist rising over a forgotten forest lake, Tendrils emerges as a rare bloom—both haunted and alive, intimate and ungraspable. The second LP from Old Man of the Woods, the alias of Seattle-based multidisciplinary artist Miranda Elliott, is an experimental, ethereal electro-acoustic offering—a devotional sung from a distance, whispered through cracked walls and rusted hinges.

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.

When I first encountered the music of Lauré Lussier, I wasn’t prepared for how deeply it would stir me. There’s a palpable breath in his compositions—something alive, something not imposed but revealed, unearthed. Though I sensed the subtle hand of minimalism, what truly captivated me was how seamlessly he integrates orchestral language with natural and synthetic soundscapes. His works don’t simply use sound—they become it.

Foretold by TTTC is an experimental album with an otherworldly soundscape.
