(16 October 2009) - Sound artist Diego Stocco—featured here previously for his Music From a Tree—has gone and reinvented a musical instrument again. When he contacted us recently to tell us about it, he could barely contain his excitement. “I have a new video that I'd like to show you,” he wrote. “I created an instrument by combining a violin, a viola, a cello and a double bass!”...

Timber Timbre
(31 July 2009) - Toronto-based Timber Timbre's third self-titled studio release keeps a soft and moody vibe with eight simply structured songs that seem meant for listening to in the dark.

Kinny Stereo Acoustic Guitars
(10 June 2009) - Add new dimensions to guitar recording with Paul Kinny's Stereo Acoustic guitars, which use two sound holes to create a richer, more dynamic sound. The mammoth design, both intriguing and off-putting, is reminiscent of harp-guitars employed by innovative musicians Andy McKee and Michael Hedges.
