Kan Wakan’s Dizzy Classical Minimalism; Phantasmagoria Pt. 1

July 14, 2017 Christopher Hoglund

“Phantasmagoria Pt. 1”, is the first title track of a three part LP by Los Angeles based producer Gueorgui Linev. Under the moniker Kan Wakan, the Bulgarian born musician has been releasing his sophomore album track by track for almost a year now. It’s been fantastic, emotive, and yet pensive, demure in its exquisiteness. I’ve been […]

[Minimalist/Ambient] Steve Hauschildt – “Vicinity”

September 4, 2015 Ryan Burns
