Herbie Hancock didn’t just play music. He hacked into the mainframe of sound itself and rewired the whole interface to groove harder, glitch weirder, and swing smarter. If jazz were a video game, Herbie would be the cheat code that unlocks secret levels in five different genres at once — plus an intergalactic bonus round. Let’s begin in the early ‘60s, when Herbie showed up on the jazz scene like […]
Some jazz cats blast through the air like lightning bolts — fierce, fiery, untamed. But then there’s Gerry Mulligan, who’s more like a mischievous breeze whistling through the alleyways of sound. He didn’t just play the baritone sax; he romanced it, coiled his long limbs around it like a dance partner, and whispered secrets into its brass heart that still echo in smoky corners of old clubs and restless record […]
Imagine you’re floating in space, sipping glacial air through a bendy straw, while the echoes of your thoughts swirl gently around you in surround sound. That, my friend, is the sound of Biosphere — ambient music’s frosty Norwegian wizard and full-time soundscape sculptor. 🧊 Who Is Biosphere? Born Geir Jenssen, Biosphere is a Norwegian electronic artist who creates music that sounds like Icelandic weather had an existential crisis and turned […]
Hey you. Yes, you, reading this with one hand while the other scrolls TikTok or cradles a lukewarm oat latte. Do you sometimes wish your music sounded like a broken radio trying to tell you a secret from the future? Do you long for guitar solos that dissolve into shimmering clouds instead of toxic masculinity? If so, congratulations: you might be ready for Fennesz. Christian Fennesz (pronounced like you’re trying […]
Once upon a bebop in time, before Spotify algorithms and lo-fi hip hop study beats, there came a man so cosmically talented, he made saxophones cry, blush, and experience existential dread. His name? John William Coltrane. His mission? To bend the very fabric of jazz, time, and possibly space itself until even Einstein would scratch his head and go, “Wait, is this 11/8?” Coltrane wasn’t just a musician. No, my […]
Let’s be honest: if you met a woman who wore flowing robes, played jazz harp, ran an ashram, and claimed to receive music directly from the divine… you might assume she was either an interdimensional being or your coolest aunt on ayahuasca. But Alice Coltrane was both—and more. She didn’t just push jazz into new spiritual realms; she dragged it there in a chariot made of stars, incense smoke, and […]
Some musicians arrive like thunderclaps, all ego and elbow, pounding their genius into the earth like tent stakes at a festival of self-importance. But Harold Budd? He arrived like mist. Or maybe like the memory of mist. The kind that hovers quietly just above the ground, humming to itself, unbothered by gravity or genre. Budd called himself a "minimalist" with a grimace, as if the word were a beige carpet […]
Imagine standing at the edge of a fading photograph. The colors are muted. There's a scratchy hiss where silence should be. Somewhere in the background, a saxophone weeps gently for the 20th century. This is where William Basinski lives—a place halfway between memory and erosion, nostalgia and noise. Born in Texas in 1958 with cheekbones worthy of a New Wave poster and the heart of a haunted archivist, William Basinski […]
Some music makes you want to dance. Some makes you want to drive fast. And then there’s Eluvium, which makes you want to lie in a field and whisper “wow” to a cloud. Repeatedly. Possibly while crying a single dignified tear. Eluvium is the musical alias of Matthew Cooper, a man who heard the concept of “ambient” music and said, “Sure, but what if it also gave you emotional vertigo?” […]
