Originally born in London to mixed Indian/British heritage, Simon McCorry trained in cello at The Centre for Young Musicians & Morley College then studied philosophy at Durham University, he is now based in Stroud, Gloucestershire. His work is a rich combination of field recordings, adept loop based cello compositions and atmospheric improvisations that explore the rich sonic possibilities of the cello through a host of treatments and effects chains. His latest album for the excellent Polar Seas label is our feature as we also take stock of some of their amazing other releases from this year.

Under the name Panabrite, Seattle-based electronic musician Norm Chambers makes incredibly emotional and lush music through his love of analog synthesizers. His work draws from early new age, kosmische, and library music. In recent times, Norm has been going through some hardship with his health. I wanted to dedicate this show to his amazing talent and inspirational music. Visit his bandcamp site and help support this amazing artist.
