Cem Barış Çetinkayalı - Irmak Alternative/Alt. Rock TR Overall Impression: There is something wonderfully untamed about “Irmak,” the latest guitar instrumental from Cem Barış Çetinkayalı. Rather than approaching the guitar with a carefully mapped-out route, Cem appears to throw open the doors and simply follow wherever the music decides to wander. The result is an open-sounding, freestyle excursion into world music territory, one that places spontaneity firmly in the driver’s seat. This is music very much written in real-time. Ideas appear, disappear, mutate, circle back, and occasionally take an entirely unexpected turn. There is no obvious safety net of a rigid arrangement dictating where the journey must go, and that gives “Irmak” an undeniably unpredictable character. The predominantly Middle Eastern character of the piece gives this journey an especially distinctive landscape. There is an exotic, emotive quality woven through the melodic language, with cert...

De Salem - Big Wasting Alternative/Alt. Rock CH Overall Impression: There is something immediately intoxicating about Michael De Salem’s Big Wasting. From its opening moments, the track seems to step outside the normal passage of time, replacing the forward momentum of conventional songwriting with something far more fluid and dreamlike. It is less a song that demands to be followed than a sonic environment into which the listener simply disappears. Atmosphere is everything here, and De Salem builds that atmosphere with the patience of someone willing to let a moment breathe rather than rush towards a destination. The expansive character of the track inevitably recalls the widescreen sensibilities of Pink Floyd, but Big Wasting filters that spaciousness through the introspective lens of alternative rock. There is an unmistakable sense of thematic depth beneath the haze: this is music concerned less with telling a neatly defined story than with creating the emotio...

Bob Stark Patterson - Creek Bridge Folk CA Overall Impression: Canadian singer/songwriter Bob Stark's "Patterson Creek Bridge" is a bittersweet folk story-song about hope, longing, and the emotional strain of wartime separation. This intimate ballad in three-quarter time features delicately fingerpicked acoustic guitar beneath Stark's warm and weathered vocal, as gentle melodies float atop a weightless chord progression that feels like a quiet morning buzz. Melancholic lyrics depict a woman woefully trapped in time as she waits for her man to return home from war, capturing her loneliness and apprehension as well as her joy and anticipation. The nostalgic themes and sophisticated folk stylings of Bob Stark's "Patterson Creek Bridge" should appeal to singer/songwriter aficionados, as well as any fans of vintage Americana. Strongest Point(s): Excellent production and a solid mix. Up close and personal sound. Gorgeous chord prog...
