Do you need some recommendations for Bandcamp tomorrow, August 6? I have some for you:

The first one is from Krakenkraft from Germany, two anthologies of some of his contributions to the Disquiet Junto project, a collaborative composition project, where

Each Thursday in the Disquiet Junto group, a new compositional challenge is set before the group’s members, who then have just over four days to upload a track in response to the assignment.

More information about Disquiet Junto on Marc Weidenbaum’s homepage.

Krakenkraft is constantly contributing pieces to the project which are of high musical quality.

My second recommendation is Songs of the North, the new album by Serbian sound artist Manja Ristić, who does magic with field recordings.

The third recommendation is an album also strongly based on field recordings. It has the wonderful title dawn, always new, often superb, inaugurates the return of the everyday an is by field recordist and sound artist Kate Carr.

The next one is by a big name and there is no need to recommend it, but the music of Grouper is very important to me, so I can’t wait to get the full new album in October. It’s open for pre-order on Bandcamp.

Last but not least, there is a new album out there on Bandcamp by Austrian violinist, improviser, composer Mia Zabelka and Arun Natarajan aka ICOSTECH, a very interesting longform piece of dark ambient noise.
