Christina VANTZOU & Felicia ATKINSON
“Reflections Vol. 3: Water Poems”
On Reflections Vol. 3: Water Poems, Félicia Atkinson and Christina Vantzou channel their friendship and atmospheric artistry into ceremonial focus. Spoken-word environments and orchestral imagination flow like tributaries into a unified stream, resulting in a collection of dreamlike songs and soundscapes anchored in sea, sky and stone. Through electro-acoustic instrumentation, voice, and environmental sound, Water Poems invites listeners into a subconscious space somewhere between everyday intimacy and the oceanic enigma from which all life unfolds.

HORSE LORDS & Arnold DREYBLATT
“FRKWYS Vol. 18: Extended Field”
Extended Field unites Horse Lords and Arnold Dreyblatt for the eighteenth volume of FRKWYS, an intergenerational collaboration of adventurous musicians drawn to the sonically radiant world of just intonation—an ancient tuning system in which scale intervals are derived from whole-number ratios. Dreyblatt first immersed himself in this approach in New York during the 1970s, while Horse Lords began exploring and applying its possibilities nearly four decades later. Together, they create a vibrant harmonic environment, fueled by a shared devotion to rhythm, achieving a marriage of discreet but related aesthetics for the ages.
Performed by Andrea Belfi, Andrew Bernstein, Arnold Dreyblatt, Max Eilbacher, and Owen Gardner

Tashi WADA
“What Is Not Strange?”
Composer and performer based in Los Angeles. Son of artist Yoshi Wada. Runs the label Saltern.
What Is Not Strange? is the first full-length solo album by Los Angeles-based composer Tashi Wada, comprising his most far-reaching and impassioned music to date. Written and recorded over a period that encompassed the death of his father and the birth of his daughter, the album sees Wada reflecting inward to explore broad narratives—being alive, mortality, finding one’s place in the world—through new modes of ecstatic, song-based expression. While the denser forms, stark contrasts, and overt surreality may carry a different weight than Wada’s earlier work, which elicited perceptual effects with minimal means, the heart of What Is Not Strange? is still in experimentation and unforeseen outcomes.
All music written by Tashi Wada
The melody from “Calling” is based on a traditional Swedish herding call, or kulning, as sung by Elin Lisslass.
Ezra Buchla – viola, electric viola
Corey Fogel – drums, percussion
Devin Hoff – double bass
Julia Holter – vocals, additional keyboard
Tashi Wada – keyboards, sirens
