Cloning is the solo work of Dana Matthiessen. An athletic showing of slurred Berlin School inversions and interpolated vocal performance. The sounds of damaged genetic data (or should we say genetic Dana.) You left the centrifuge on and now the spirals have hyper-congealed. What was that purple-green flash behind the de-sequencer?

Radiator Greys is the sound project of Josh Levi. His soundscapes can feel spacious, like cranked-up spa music, or claustrophobic, like a horror movie soundtrack. And the harder he pushes to extremes, the tighter his music seems to hold onto its ambiguity. “There’s a beauty in ambient music that can still be very haunting at the same time,” Levi says. “But my music is insular. . . . Tension and anxiety are the main themes.”(Wash.Post)
