…In my remix, I tried to follow that emotion in my own language, letting the violin and the voice bring out its emotional quality while a more driving pulse rooted in my own signature moves beneath it,” Polygonia says.
“Even before I started producing, I often listened to Rival Consoles, whose music always carried a sense of openness, quiet hope, and a deeply sentimental feeling of looking toward what lies ahead…

French producer Crayon’s debut album Home Safe is out on vinyl this Friday, featuring ‘Feelings Don’t Rest’ ft. anaiis
Listen / order: idol-io.ffm.to/home-safe
The album celebrates the music of the legendary Japanese video game series, with 11 new recordings of Broderick’s favourite songs, from the much-loved ‘Aerith’s Theme’ to deeper cuts such as ‘Hymn of the Fayth’ and ‘Eternity, Memory of Lightwaves’.
Ode to Final Fantasy, the inaugural release from Peter Broderick’s project The White Mages is out now on Erased Tapes Music.
Listen: idol-io.ffm.to/odetofinalfa...
Both the album, and its visual counterpart which was directed by band member Kaveh Nabatian, unfold as one long piece, a recorded-then-sculpted improvisation that vastly expands their work, coalescing classical and electronic instrumentation in the creation of genre-defying musical worlds.
Following a run of screenings at festivals in 2021, join us on Thursday, March 19th at 12pm ET / 4pm GMT for the full performance film premiere, celebrating 5 years of Bell Orchestre’s House Music, on the Erased Tapes YouTube channel here: youtu.be/Ru9_G7cTahg

…It’s been interesting to see the meaning of this piece change and adapt to the times.” — Qasim Naqvi
“Though this work was initially about the end of the human race and the beginning of something new, over time I have felt its sentiment flip – that this music is now about us surviving, being compassionate, and fighting against these tyrannical forces which feel insurmountable…
Pakistani-American composer #QasimNaqvi follows up last year’s album, Endling, with its intended sequel, the 18-minute orchestral work God Docks at Death Harbor. The work is performed by the BBC Concert Orchestra; it stands as the composer’s first orchestral release.
