Listening Between the Notes, A contemplation on Alice Sara Ott's latest release

Listening Between the Notes, A contemplation on the latest release by Alice Sara Ott

Leave a Comment / Music Reviews /

The final track, “Englabörn,” closes the release with a darker, more somber tone. Still soft in texture, still restrained, it gradually pulls the listener inward through repetition and subtle harmonic shifts. The recurring notes act like a slow spiral, drawing the listener deeper rather than pushing outward. There is melancholy here, but never despair — […]

We spoke about life, music, the unpredictable nature of the industry, and the surprising number of artistic intersections between Japan and Estonia. By the end of our conversation, it felt clear that there were real possibilities ahead, including collaborative

You’re a Good Person by Anton Donovan

Leave a Comment / Music Reviews /

Anton Donovan’s new EP, You’re a Good Person, lands with the kind of theatrical flair that feels both self-aware and devastatingly sincere. A classically trained musician with roots in improvisational comedy, Donovan has always balanced satire with confession. Here, he leans into that duality with a jazz-inflected orchestral palette: brass sections that swell like Broadway

Giuseppe Cucé’s 21 Grammi is a warm-blooded, southern European tapestry woven from soul, cantautorato, and lightly brushed shades of Latin music. The album feels acoustic, alive, and deeply human. Every instrument breathes. Every phrase carries emotional intention. And throughout its eleven tracks, Cucé’s voice is never an ornament or an authority, but a vital thread: integrated,

In a global music landscape saturated with genres, crossovers, and reinventions, it’s rare to encounter an artist who forges a sound that feels both rooted and revolutionary.

I Switched from Spotify to Apple Music and Experienced Digital Album Again

Leave a Comment / independent musician /

After five years of using Spotify, I decided to switch to Apple Music (for ethical reasons), and the difference surprised me! There are countless posts comparing sound quality across streaming platforms, but this isn’t one of them. Instead, I want to talk about what really changed for me as both a listener and a musician:
