The Norwegian saxophonist Mette Henriette seems to have become the quintessential ECM Records artist. Her second album features all the hallmarks of Manfred Eicher’s label: beautifully recorded low-volume acoustic music located somewhere equidistant from jazz, folk and contemporary composition, with nothing as vulgar as a drum kit to sully the delicate sonic properties of each instrument.The artwork for DriftingHenriette’s 2015 debut flirted with a mini orchestra on some tracks but this long-awaited follow-up concentrates…

Since NASA’s Terra satellite launched in 1999, it has seen a world utterly transformed. Surface temperatures have risen half a degree. Sea levels have climbed 80 millimeters higher. Plants have expanded across an area as big as the Amazon rainforest. Through it all, Terra and two other satellites—Aqua, launched in 2002, and Aura, in 2004—served as the foremost sentinels of a changing planet, running far past their expected 6-year missions. Now, all three…

Every year, the Moon drifts further away from the Earth. According to a post on The Conversation, the Moon drifts away from our planet at a rate of 3.8 centimeters a year. At that rate, in 100 years, the Moon will have drifted roughly 380 centimeters from our planet, a total of around 12 feet. This distance isn’t massive by any means, but it does show that the Moon has slowly been drifting away from our planet at some rate for the past several billion years. Further, the current rate of recession doesn’t seem…

The Irish film-maker Robert Manson has gone back to his native Wicklow for this flawed, intriguing, indulgent movie with a touch of Kafka. It’s an experimental piece, drifting and dreamlike – though declining to let you know if it is a good dream or a bad dream – shot in black and white, with little bursts of colour Super 8.David (Conor Madden) is a nondescript guy attempting to leave what appears to be a featureless little town. He is trying to catch a ferry, but keeps getting told he has the wrong ticket or he’s at the…

The all-new Mustang made its debut at the revamped Detroit Auto Show on Wednesday evening. While the muscle icon shows no indications of going electric like that other Mustang, the seventh generation brings loads of Gen Y- and Z-enticing tech to the party. Ford has equiped it with a fighter jet-inspired digital cockpit, electronic drift mode, new turbocharged and natural-breathing engines, and even a remote rev feature that lets the driver unleash the guttural growl of the engine with the tap of a FOB. "Investing in…

Tangerine Dream – Journey Through a Burning Brain (1970)Klaus Schulze’s first appearance on vinyl was as a drummer in the nascent Tangerine Dream, a band that bore no resemblance whatsoever to the Tangerine Dream who were famed in the mid-70s for their beatless, beatific electronic epics. The frazzled, occasionally terrifying contents of their debut album Electronic Meditation sounded like early Pink Floyd with all the songs removed and the freeform experimentation cranked up to 11. The second track, Journey Through a…
