Gabó Releases ‘Mystic Rocks, New Wind [Ether instrumental version]’

"Gabó Releases ‘Mystic Rocks, New Wind [Ether instrumental version]’"

This version captures the desert’s mystical calmness and soft summer wind.

The music conveys a slow and deep contemplative state.

The mysterious flute motif invites the listener into a mystical experience.

Mystic Rocks…Ether version recalls the spiritual experience of walking alone in the Joshua Tree Park without any baggage.

Gabó has filtered out many layers to reach the spiritual essence of his composition Mystic Rocks, New Wind.

Gabó’s music is overall instrumental and Electronic, but with an eclectic blend of influences from other genres such as Alternative, New Age, Reggae, Rock, Classical, Jazz, Singer/Songwriter, and ethnic music. Originally from South America, after completing his formal studies in Electronic production from Berklee College in Boston, he lived many years in France, where he grasped some of Europe’s vintage film and Electronic scene through further music studies and collaborations.

Although not a frequent performer, Gabó has had the opportunity to play at interesting venues such as the legendary House of Blues (Los Angeles), the scenic Pismo Beach State park in central California, and the New World Symphony (Miami Beach). As much of his music is instrumental and cinematic, accompanying visuals play a very important role. He has performed with or for visual media at the Paris III city hall (France), O Cinema (Miami Beach), and the Soundscape Park (Miami Beach), among others. Gabó has been a five-time recipient of the ASCAP Plus Awards thanks to his performances at alternative spaces.

In addition to creating music, Gabó’s studies in music therapy have infused the way he composes and performs – especially his slow works – with a healing awareness. This is especially the case on his 2019 Ambient album “A Desert Night of Tranquility,” and it has a central place on current live-streamings.

Currently, although most of his productions remain instrumental, collaborations with vocalists are more frequent. He works between New York City, Los Angeles, and Miami.

Larkenlyre Releases EP ‘The Dream Within The Dream’

"Larkenlyre Releases EP ‘The Dream Within The Dream’"

When we sleep at night and imagine scenarios that have never taken place, or maybe relive ones that have, we call it a dream. When we stop in the course of our day, and instead of doing something, become wrapped in the thought of a time in the past, or a time to come, we call it a dream. When we think of how it might be if our life or the world were much different than it is now, we call it a dream.

If we feel we don’t belong, or if we have no home at all, we might dream of sanctuary. If we are old, we might dream of childhood. If we struggle to find peace, we might dream of an idyll. If we had loves long ago that are still vivid, we might dream of our loves long past. If we have love now, we might dream of growing old together.

Dogen Zenji one day realizes, “These plum blossoms which I’ve been seeing every day are the udumbara flower, which blooms only once every three thousand years.”

All of this, the arc of the sparrow’s flight, the light on the horizon as the new day begins, the aroma of a cooking breakfast, water flying wildly over a cliff as the spring snows melt, every Shakespeare play, every Sibelius symphony, the moon rising to begin another night, the leaves falling from eighty million trees as they prepare for winter, the discovery of a hundred billion galaxies outside our own, the sound of a piano hammer striking its string, a footprint in the snow, all of it, the dream within the dream.

Matthew Labarge has released seven albums of solo piano music, eight albums of mixed instruments (some as artist name Larkenlyre), and an album of pirate-themed lounge music (as artist name Cane Bay Cabaret). He works tirelessly in a tiny studio in Blacksburg, Virginia to bring you albums that unfold like a novel, are worth listening to carefully, and still yield new insights after many listens.

Steve Kilbey & Gareth Koch Release Album ‘Songs From Atlantis’

"Steve Kilbey & Gareth Koch Release Album ‘Songs From Atlantis’"

In their latest album, Songs from Atlantis, Steve Kilbey & Gareth Koch re-imagine deities and figures from antiquity. Their album creates an esoteric impression of an ancient mythical kingdom, when Poseidon ruled the undersea and the Augur interpreted the will of the gods.

The music on Songs from Atlantis is in turn mystical, powerful and reflective. The textures range from glistening harmonics to diving liquid slides. Some of the music is almost aqueous, with resonator guitars producing a type of whale song while lyres evoke an idea of Ancient Greece.

Kilbey and Koch have created a highly contrasting collection of songs and moods, ranging from the haunting tenderness of Calliope’s Song to the grinding majesty of Hyperion’s Oar. Shimmering and water-like, the music and lyrics evoke the lives of ancient gods, servant girls and soothsayers.

Atlantis, an island mentioned in Plato’s works, is described as an empire that ruled all parts of the world. After falling out of favour with the deities the city is subsumed into the Atlantic Ocean.

Screen Shot 2020-05-26 at 4.11.27 pm

What unites the musical spheres of an Australian rock icon and a Viennese-trained classical musician?

The answer lies in a shared aesthetic and approach to their craft. There is a wistful and haunting lilt to the Kilbey/Koch songs, as they float seamlessly through a narrative of fallen crowns and enchanted gardens.  To compliment the poignant lyrics is a delicious instrumentation, weaving and waif-like, alternately brimming with rhythmic drive.

Steve Kilbey, also known as the frontman of veteran rock band The Church, has generated a lifetime of beautifully crafted songs. His subtly esoteric lyrics create an aura of mystery, posing questions and teasing the listener with riddle-like answers.

Gareth Koch is a European-born classical guitarist and composer who has recorded most of the major repertoire. His compositional style reflects a lifelong engagement with classical, folk, rock and flamenco music. Although not easy to define, Koch’s music is often characterised by medieval gestures, influenced by the unrequited longing style of the French Trouveres (singer-poets) of the 12th century.

Stephen Wallack Releases Album ‘Open’

"Stephen Wallack Releases Album ‘Open’"

The last couple of years have been an intense period of reflection and gratitude. Reflecting on the chaotic world that we live in, it can be difficult to find the beauty in the lives we each live. My personal journey has been trying to “open” myself up to new ideas, new people, and challenging myself to see life through multiple lenses. We all have gifts to share with the world that make it a better place, but finding that confidence, patience and grace can be easier said than done.

OPEN is my journey to connect with a deeper self-awareness and a greater hope that we can all find that inner peace we so desperately need.

Screenshot 2025-03-27 at 3.40.27 PM

“When I write,” Wallack says, “I picture the music moving to film.”

At age fourteen, Wallack took a leap of faith: he stopped playing the music he was hearing and started playing the music he was imagining. Overflowing with ideas, emotions, and concepts, music became the natural manner Wallack expressed himself. Inspired by the grandiose feelings of George Winston’s music and the rich imagery within film scores, Wallack set out on his path as a writer – a path whose direction became clearer through the help of a friend named Mike McCready.

Mike McCready, better known as the guitarist for iconic ‘90s rock band Pearl Jam, became Wallack’s first guitar teacher, and gave him his first guitar. McCready’s influence led Wallack to expand his musical tastes, and as his sonic preferences widened to include artists like Soundgarden, Tom Petty, and Neil Young, his focus on his craftsmanship became more acute.

“I’m beyond fortunate to have the friendship with [Mike] that I have,” Wallack says. “He really has inspired me to continue pursuing my passion for music.”

During the past five years, Wallack released five full-length albums: “Chapters”, “Stories”, “Reflections”, “Colors”, and “Wondering”. All albums which capture and bring to life moments and memories that have defined and inspired Stephen.

“OPEN” is his sixth solo piano release.

“From the very first note, Pacifica captivates with a deep, resonant bass-line that pulses straight to your soul. True to its name—Spanish for “peaceful”—the song exudes serenity, inspired by the beauty and mystery of the Oregon coastline.

The Oregon coast left an indelible mark, calling them back to its shores through this song.
