Post Scriptum De Caelwyn et Campana by Alexander Paul Burton
“Post Scriptum De Caelwyn et Campana” is more than just an instrumental piece—it’s a quiet revelation, a musical epilogue steeped in the mythos of Alexander Paul Burton’s fantasy novel The Hollow Vale. Though it is, at its core, a solo piano work, it manages to sound like much more. The piano becomes a storyteller here, an ancient voice whispering through melody and texture. Burton, primarily a pianist since the age of fifteen, steps into the role of a sonic world-builder wit

The Best Chapter by Alessandra Toni, Emotions Carved in Sound
Music is often described as the most abstract of the arts, yet it has the power to shape images, stir emotions, and tell stories without a single word.

Each of the twelve tracks feels like a finely sculpted conic form—shaped with precision, depth, and poetry. Her music doesn’t shout—it breathes, it unfolds. And through this carefully woven journey,

The Estonian Kannel: A Bridge Between Nature, Myth, and Melody
Few instruments reflect the soul of a nation quite like the kannel does for Estonia. With its shimmering timbre and timeless shape, the kannel is not just an artifact of folk culture—it is a living, breathing part of Estonia’s musical identity, echoing through forests, festivals, and even modern concert halls. This delicate zither-like instrument has evolved through centuries, carrying with it stories of ancient rituals, national awakening, and artistic reinvention.

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.
