Instrumental music

Notes from the instrumental frontier: Skeeboo's Hanging Up the Motley follows a renaissance jester through empty echoing halls with downtempo cinematic beats, while jonas bryan's made in china channels moods and local sounds from ten weeks abroad into two evocative compositions. David Dellacroce conjures modal melodies and drowsy drones that sound "like a household appliance achieving enlightenment," and Jav Grojas suspends you between dream and wakefulness with an abstract fantasy suite of synths, piano and pads. Sébastien Lasserre rounds things out with a nostalgic tribute to the creators of Pong that evokes childhood wonder.
