Room40 Openframe
I will not be in London December 9th and 10th, but perhaps you will be. The always excellent Room40 present Openframe, featuring Mike Cooper & Pat Thomas, Steinbrüchel, Organ Octet, Tujiko Noriko / Lawrence English / John Chantler (trio), Dolphins into the Future, Tomasz Bednarczyk, and Makino Takashi. Very nice.

TED Talk: Julian Treasure: The 4 ways sound affects us
Quick 5 minute TED talk here from Julian Treasure, who runs The Sound Agency.
Lamenter by Sleeping Me
"Thick, melancholic and evocatively haunting soundscapes created entirely by guitar, the music of Sleeping Me employs a balance of delicacy, power and gentle reverb to present an affecting sound that's resplendent in its warmth and fiery beauty. 'Lamenter', closely following stunning debut full-length 'Cradlesongs' on celebrated Australian imprint Hidden Shoal, proves that Sleeping Me's sound finds peace in even the most heartbreaking of circumstances, rarely has the devil's instrument of choice sounded so heavenly."

Anthem by Simon James French
"Heavily inspired by the compositional techniques of György Ligeti, Simon’s first release Anthem is full of dynamic movement and heavy textures that, in its entirety make for an ever changing body of work that invites the listener to fall headlong into this world of sinuous, melodic drones, evocative motifs and cleverly incorporated real-world sounds."
