E.G. Phillips’ The Music I Still Adore unfolds as a sober yet lingering composition in which Americana and folk do not merely coexist but are braided into a concentrated narrative, the piece eschewing theatricality in favor of economy—sparse acoustic layers, delicate rhythmic inflections and occasional harmonic turns that, while suggesting a jazz lineage, never allow…

‘Two Men by the Harbour’ – Ulrich Jannert
Ulrich Jannert’s ‘Two Men by the Harbour’ is a concentrated, intellectually tuned piece that translates the existential polarity of security and freedom into a musical allegory; the production is restrained: warm soul-rock timbres, subtle R&B echoes, folk guitars and a subtle country flavour intertwine to create an organic soundscape in which silence and space function…
