   Jazz & Improvisation

Charles, Xavier / Bertrand Gauguet: Spectre
(Akousis Records)


Using the interference points of closely pitched sound, long-time collaborators Xavier Charles and Bertrand Gauguet use acoustic and amplified clarinets and saxophones to create frequency landscapes that change slowly, ringing with harmonics while finding unison and conflict in their tones, creating meditative aural environments of great beauty and reflection.

Killick Hinds:
Old Hat to Clothed Toes [CASSETTE]
(H(i)nds(i)ght)

It is intended to help stores like Squidco during this time of pandemic, for which we are extremely grateful!

Guitarist and creative experimenter Killick Hinds pays homage in abstract and tangential ways to Metallica's 1986 album Master of Puppets, an influence on Killick's youth, which he references somewhere between re-creation and distillation, in a factory-made cassette with 8 pieces he describes as "hypnagogic wake-dreams."
