Topu Lyo and Randy Bergida have a 20-year history of playing and traveling together covering sizable swaths of North America all the while recording conversations into a minidisc player which they convey in their record Darkness Sunshine. The topogaphy of the subject matter is as varied and expansive as the ground they've traveled. The fruit of those conversations is Darkness Sunshine, an album that re-configures roots tradition via acoustic cello-guitar arrangements and choralesque voca harmonies for an ambience that's at once intimate and immense.

Campos de Luz, is a new solo project for multi-media artist Mario Schambon, a veteran of the Atlanta and NYC music scene. (Atlas Sound, Mia Doi Todd,Helado Negro, Adron, Selmanaires) The project was hatched from a collection of field recordings and conversations with family and friends gathered on a trip to his native Colombia. The name Campos de Luz, or Fields of Light in Spanish, references the Artist's family name and calls up fecund landscapes where earth meets the sky-such as artist Walter de Maria's Lightning Field. Decidedly idiosyncratic, experimental and beat heavy, Campos de Luz's self titled debut is a heady mix of rhythm, and textures-narrated in Spanish- about liminal spaces, desire, migration and escape. Cinematic and deeply moving, the album is an invitation to journey and a meditation on duality and contradiction.
