"Adding acoustic guitar to his trademark warm synths and masterful electronic production, CFCF’s Michael Silver has made an album that plays like a dreamtime paean to ECM and Windham Hill’s catalogs of meditative folk explorations. Silver’s guitar arpeggiates sublimely throughout the record, at times sounding like a choir of otherworldly hammered dulcimers. Fragments of voices, chattering percussion, nature recordings, film samples, and Silver’s sparse vocals arise and disappear, calling from somewhere just outside the boundaries of the waking world."

KARA-LIS COVERDALE is "an exciting voice in that wave of North American electronic composition that favours a stratospherically cold, sumptuous and yet organic beauty… resonances of Reich and Tangerine Dream are rendered in peculiarly 21st century shades: the textless, fleshless voice keyboard, the lingering foggy sublime of CPU-washed tone granules, the modular serialism of object oriented processes. The various parts are often starkly separated in colour and harmony, but the overall shape flows on smoothly, either still learning from and resolving its experiences, or in thrall to an aesthetic that’s just beyond the horizon." (Adam Harper for The Wire). Thus far in 2015, K-LC released a solo casette Aftertouches (Sacred Phrases) and a collaborative LP Sirens (Umor Rex) with Philadelphia-based digital information sound artist LXV.

"Under the moniker Event Cloak and as part of the duo Sundrips, Montreal's Nick Maturo has been a heavy purveyor of avant-garde synthesizer music since 2010. Life Strategies is his first LP release and a major step for the artist, with an emphasis on sparse arrangements of digital electronics and chopped vocal samples. Each track unfolds with total clarity, utilizing the minimum amount of elements necessary to highlight their melodic, harmonic, and textural themes. The result is an overwhelming lightness, like a calm exhilaration, or the aural equivalent of a hidden sun-drenched room of bright whites and soothing grey tones."
