I’ve got another strange musical discovery to share today – the Russian ensemble Caprice, whose new album “Kywitt! Kywitt!” is… well, very strange. I can’t even say that I like all of it.

In By The Eye is a small film company that’s producing some extraordinary, beautiful work with mythic and fairytale themes. View the haunting “Brother and Sister” in its entirety. The film was adapted from the Teri Windling poem which was in turn inspired by the original Grimms tale. This quiet version, set mostly in the [...]
