Beautiful write up by Josh Brown of Brainforest Cafe!!
GALTTA 033 - Julie Hill
“From the get, the new Julie Hill sounds like a progressive, synth-heavy fantasy. Combining modern classical rhythms with dense timbre designs, their are elements of dance music and hard sophistipop. Hill's vocal delivery is Liz Fraseresque and the drum patterns are really elusive with exceptional production.” Full review on the site - plus link the the record! Limited edition of just 100 tapes.

Thanks Jamband Josh for the amazing review of Blue Ragu Vol. 2 by Blue Jazz TV !- out on Dick Move Records, but available on the Galtta bandcamp page.

"Every re-listen includes a schmear of new sounds and details I didn't notice. This is definitely a must listen if you like Steely Dan, Tears for Fears, or any group where you could combine the ideas of jazz, pop, and virtuosic luminaries!"

Karl Blau's markedly beautiful voice finally graces his first homemade collection of children's songs, "Children of All Ages". With brilliantly counterpointed arrangements and idyllic lyrics, the album is almost like a children's television network's entire schedule of theme songs the way it morphs....

Galtta 034 Distant Pillars, Private Pillars by Randy Gibson
https://www.textura.org/archives/g/gibson_distantpillars.htm

The character of the material is consistent with the style Gibson has developed during the past decade, one inarguably indebted to the indelible imprint his lessons with La Monte Young and Marian Zazeela have had upon him. Gibson's interest in alternate tunings is present throughout the work, which (for the double-CD presentation) is split into two parts, Sunrise and Sunset. The first details that appear are ambient sounds of nature and the urban environment, the composer drawing from the nearly twenty hours of source recordings he collected to evoke the world we physically inhabit. Slowly, sine tones and instrument timbres emerge, the latter sourced from recordings the musicians made of themselves performing in their personal spaces around the country (while four are Brooklyn-based, the others call Connecticut, South Carolina, and California home). Referenced implicitly is the pandemic in the way the contributors recorded their parts in isolation before passing them on to Gibson. Despite the distances separating them, the eight unite in the work's collective expression.

Two earlier Randy Gibson albums, Aqua Madora (Avant Media, 2011) and The Four Pillars Appearing from The Equal D under Resonating Apparitions of The Eternal Process in The Midwinter Starfield 16 VIII 10 (Kansas City) (Irritable Hedgehog, 2017), were performed on piano by, respectively, the American....
