It is always a pleasure to read Peter Margasak's monthly reflections and to listen to the music in his contemporary classical music column. And I am delighted that ‘Composer, Alone’ is in the September selection, as always with some beautiful thoughts.

»Strands of Lunar Light« by guitarist and composer Fredrik Rasten is an exploration of spectral microtonality and just intonation for guitars. A speculative moonscape through sound, shaped by sub-audio vibrations and harmonic resonance.
