Folk music carries a special significance in Estonian culture, especially since the Ärkamisaeg (the National Awakening) - and it continues to evolve to this day. One of such contributions to the Estonian heritage is the album “ma olen maa peal v66ras” by 6hunesseq.

With GlasGlas, both the name of the artist and the EP, we are introduced to a debut release that blends electronic soundscapes with reflective, almost philosophical themes. Written and produced between 2021 and 2022 and released in early 2023, the album moves beyond pure electronic music to explore ideas of resilience, mysticism, and transformation, carried through a diverse palette of styles and textures.

Twinkle, Twinkle by Alkis H takes one of the most universally recognized melodies in the world and transforms it into a miniature symphonic journey. This twelve-part work, presented as a continuous arc, retains a steady tempo throughout but evolves dramatically in mood, color, and orchestral texture. What begins as a simple nursery theme grows into something rich, inventive, and at times even grandiose—culminating in a sweeping fugue and finale that feel worlds away from the

There’s a certain kind of music that doesn’t just entertain—it invites you to breathe, slow down, and reconnect with yourself. El Silencio Interior by Guitarra de Aventura is one such work. This four-track EP is a delicate and heartfelt exploration of stillness, emotion, and gentle movement. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not an ambient album, on the contrary it’s an album full of melodies, dance and percussion, it’s full of life. But it’s not a city life, it comes from nature, it

Gravity of the Ocean by Aliya Lark, the London-based neoclassical composer and pianist, is a six-track instrumental work that blends felt piano, ambient textures, delicate strings, and subtle electronics. Released on July 18, 2025, the album marks the next step in her emotionally nuanced musical storytelling—a sound world already praised by BBC Radio 3 and featured on Spain's AD21 Music.

With his new single “Sentieri”, Italian cellist and composer Luca Basile invites us once again into a cinematic soundscape where classical roots meet modern epic storytelling. Following the release of his debut album Il Viaggio, this piece marks the beginning of a new musical journey, serving both as a spiritual continuation and a bold introduction to his upcoming second album. “Sentieri”—Italian for “paths”—is not only a title, but also a metaphor for the emotional terrain t

There are artists who compose music, and then there are artists who reveal something of the world—and of themselves—through sound. Andrew Keese belongs to the latter. An Australian composer, pianist, and multi-instrumentalist, his work resists easy categorization. It walks the line between neoclassical, ambient, and post-rock, but never settles comfortably into any single label. What sets him apart is not just his aesthetic, but the way his music feels lived rooted in experie

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.

In the world of independent music, releasing a track is only half the battle. The other half? Making sure people actually hear it. Music reviews and public relations (PR) campaigns play a vital role in building the online presence of independent artists. A well-written review doesn’t just offer artistic feedback—it becomes a discoverable, shareable piece of content that supports your long-term visibility in the digital music ecosystem.

Cornfield Reference is a six-chapter album by Graff Hoysfeld that plays like a personal log or memoir—only instead of words, it uses sound. These sounds tell stories of beauty, of light and gloom, of dawn and dusk. It’s a sentimental reflection of a private world, suspended somewhere between memory and imagination.

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. In her debut album The Best Chapter, Italian composer and pianist Alessandra Toni does exactly that. 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,

What if Bach wrote music based on Swedish folk tunes? No need to wonder—just listen to Ur egen fatabur by Jon-Olov Woxlin. A collection of 21 original pieces written for solo violin, this album blends traditional folk tunes with the elegance and structure of Baroque music.

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.

Shiprock is a collection of nine instrumental pieces composed and performed by Sam Miller and Matt Badger—two seasoned multi-instrumentalists whose collaboration speaks volumes without uttering a single word. Spanning a range of styles and emotions, the album unfolds like a cinematic narrative, inviting the listener on an intimate and expressive journey. Each track feels like a chapter in a story told through melody, rhythm, and texture—an emotional arc crafted with nuance, h

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.

In an age where playlists are flooded with algorithm-tailored tracks and momentary hooks, Niro Knox stands defiant. His music doesn't just echo the golden era of hard rock—it reignites it with a spirit that’s raw, emotionally charged, and unapologetically real. Listening to Niro Knox is like rediscovering what made rock matter in the first place.

Music is one of humanity’s oldest art forms, a universal language that has echoed through time, yet much of it has been lost.

Four Fires Burn is a four-member ensemble that breathes life into world music by blending Persian, Cuban, and Western rock elements

Navigating the decision between releasing a physical album, a digital album, or both is a pivotal choice for independent musicians.

Usually, I write reviews about music composed by other musicians. This time, though, I’ll be writing about my own music Elegy Sonata
