New #review today: "Die Regeninsel is #DirkSerries’ sixth collaboration with #AsmusTietchens, thrice previously as #VidnaObmana (Untitled, Motives for Recylings, and The Shift Recyclings) and twice previously as Dirk Serries (Air and Die Hofner Akten); on this latest release Serries’ layered guitar abstractions meet Tietchens’ treatments and effects, pushing the limits of the possibilities of sound." #ExposeOnline #ElectronicMusic #AmbientMusic #ExperimentalMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/dirk-serries-asmus-tietchens-die-regeninsel-3.html

New #review today: "It’s not often that a release by an orchestra can be legitimately categorized as #jazz, but #MetropoleOrkest is no ordinary orchestra. Over the 80s years since its founding, the orchestra has backed such diverse artists as Ella Fitzgerald, Adrian Belew, Dizzy Gillespie, Al Jarreau, Tori Amos, Bono, Brian Eno, Elvis Costello, Snarky Puppy, Todd Rundgren, Louis Cole, and dozens (if not hundreds) more. But Arakatak is a pure Metropole release with no celebrity soloists, though it features compositions by #DonnyMcCaslin, #TinekePostma, #LouisCole, and others. #MihoHazama takes the baton for a rousing set of big arrangements." #ExposeOnline http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/metropole-orkest-arakatak-2.html

New #review today: "While I'm listening to the newest album from #Datura4, I can easily imagine it's 1972. High on the Low Brow would fit comfortably in a set that included #ZZTop, #Cactus, #ThinLizzy, #DeepPurple, and #LedZeppelin of that time." #ExposeOnline #PsychedelicRock #GarageRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/datura-4-high-on-the-low-brow-2.html

New #review today: "If you’re familiar with previous #CabezasDeCera music, you will immediately notice that #Metaensamble leans toward the more delicate, acoustic side of their identity, without any of the aggressive and distorted #KingCrimson oriented sounds, though it’s far from being wimpy plucking and pretty melodies." #ExposeOnline #ProgressiveRock #ExperimentalMusic #MathRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/cabezas-de-cera-metaensamble-2.html

New #review today: "#SimonHanes is a fixture on the New York #AvantGarde scene, frequently working with #JohnZorn, #JGThirlwell, and others. Gargantua is a new work composed by Hanes featuring what I refer to as an E.U.I. — Ensemble of Unusual Instrumentation. The ensemble in question features three soprano vocalists, three French horns, three trombones, three electric basses, and three drum sets." #ExposeOnline http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/simon-hanes-gargantua-2.html

New #review today: "Can I say that Thirteen sounds like no #SoftMachine album before it, but sounds completely like Soft Machine? It has historically been the case that every Soft Machine album is a transitional one, marking the debut of #AsafSirkis on drums. It’s the second with #FredTBaker on bass, the third with #TheoTravis (I’m only counting studio albums released under the name Soft Machine), and the fourth with #JohnEtheridge." #ExposeOnline #jazz #JazzRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/soft-machine-thirteen-2.html

New #review today: "Typically of the late 70s, #Vesuvius incorporated elements of #ProgressiveRock, #psychedelia, and hard rock. And of course with the flute, you may be thinking of Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull, but that would not help you appreciate their music." #ExposeOnline #PsychedelicRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/vesuvius-twisted-tales-from-warped-minds-6.html

New #review today: "#ChrisBraun’s vocals are very soulful and filled with power, able to match the dynamic changes in the rock based compositions she wrote; some comparisons could be drawn to #MaggieBell (#StoneTheCrows), #LydiaPense (#ColdBlood), #JoanneVent, or #JulieDriscoll, but make no mistake, the power of the band was in her voice, and it was unique." #ExposeOnline #ChrisBraunBand #GardenOfDelightsRecords http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/chris-braun-band-both-sides-3.html

New #review today: "Ten years back, #Frostlake was singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist #JanTodd, supported by her partner #TerryTodd and a carousel of guest players on the debut album White Moon, Black Moon. While each of their albums has a slightly different character, Shattered Stone could best be described as gentle, folky, and beautiful, but occasionally melancholic songcraft, embellished in modern and ancient instrumentation." #ExposeOnline #DiscusMusic http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/frostlake-shattered-stone-3.html

New #review today: "#Xeeland is the solo project of one #JasonStöll, multi-instrumentalist and member of a number of different bands, and also the founder of #GodUnknownRecords, the label of Master Builder, Xeeland’s third LP.

New #review today for #DeborahMartin & #JillHaley: "The first fifteen seconds or so of the opening title cut let the listener know they are in for something special, a mesmerizing choral sound unlike any other I’ve heard — it seems to have been processed and texturized, while shimmering with beauty, later joined by electronics and melodic orchestral woodwinds." #ExposeOnline #AmbientMusic #ElectronicMusic #SpottedPeccaryRecords http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/deborah-martin-jill-haley-rendering-time-3.html

New #review today: "Hotel Pupik continues the changes in #LedBib that we saw on It’s Morning. The group is now a quartet, with the dual-saxophone front line of #PeteGrogan and #ChrisWilliams that has defined them since the beginning fronting just bass and drums. With the departure of keyboards, the arrangements are a bit less dense, and they continue the focus on sparser and more atmospheric sounds." #ExposeOnline #CuneiformRecords #AvantJazz http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/led-bib-hotel-pupik-2.html

He’s also found the time to record several solo albums, the latest of which is The Banishing. He started recording it during 2020 lockdown, and his intent was to make a positive, uplifting album.
