This month's issue features an extended feature on minimalism in music, When Less Is More: Over 22 pages where The Wire's writers examine the turning points in music where stripping it down and cutting it back forged new worlds of sound, from composition to funk to punk, including: "Black minimalism: Taking in fine art, funk, religion, rap, tape loops and more, the story of black minimalism defies an official narrative tainted by prejudice and lies. By David Toop. Kurt Munkacsi: The recording engineer and collaborator – with Philip Glass, Richard Landry and David Rosenboom, among others – is one of minimalism’s unsung facilitators. By Tommy McCutchon."
As well as features on Folklore Tapes Mary Stark, London based composer Neil Luck, self-described Japanese outsider Yximalloo, Edan's Invisible Jukebox plus many more reviews and interviews on musical matters.
