New Music Review By Mark Hjorthoy

Jana Irmert – When I Dissolve

An album that rains sounds on you. They crackle and warp and cover you in auditory bliss. What a fantastic album this is! Expertly crafted noises and melodic segments that dance and swirl in every direction, and fill your senses when they cross over. Captivating from beginning to end, and a real triumph for Jana. It’s so good!

Colin Andrew Sheffield – “Moments Lost“

First off, I have to say that the physical product of this release is fantastic. A mini CD but on a full sized CD looks so cool, and the artwork is beautiful. Now, the one track on this is epic. An emotional ride through pro-crafted sounds. It works brilliantly as a loop. I found myself disappointed when it ended.

Giancarlo Toniutti / Deison / Massimo Toniutti – due scritti imperfetti

Shining brightly on my list of excellent albums to review, comes ‘due scritti imperfetti‘ (two imperfect writings), and for the record, I think it’s more perfect than they let on. Carefully sculpted noises that blend with the environment they were placed in so well, that they create a new world of sound. This is brilliance taken to a higher level. You need this!

Toni Dimitrov – The Society of the Spectacle

While Macedonian sound artist Toni Dimirov released Toronto’s Kilometre Club’s ‘Let Us Compare Geographies‘, on his Elan Vital label this summer his three latest records being reviewed here aren’t. Go figure! If you put Boards Of Canada on the same stage as Loscil, and let them do whatever they wanted, you’d get an idea of what Dimitrov’s ‘The Society of the Spectacle‘ sounds like. A two-track adventure in sound collage at its best. It’s a perfect backdrop for a day spent wandering without purpose…or with purpose! Just a wonderful album to pay attention to. It made my day brighter.

Toni Dimitrov + Stefan Christoff – Balkan Winds // Blanket Swimming + Toni Dimitrov – Porphura

One of the perks of volunteering at CITR is the ability to access a constant supply of awesome original music from around the world. I was recently made aware of new records by Toni Dimitrov + Stefan Christoff (‘Balkan Winds‘) and Blanket Swimming + Toni Dimitrov (‘Porphura‘) that blew my mind. The depth of programming and layering sounds on both albums is literally out of this world. The tracks are long form, but each one feels short to me. I want these to go on for hours. If you loop these two albums, you’ll be sad once they end. Seriously. Brilliance takes on new forms with these. I am in awe.
