<h5>With <i>Upland</i>, Italian pianist and composer Olivia Belli shares another piece of her upcoming album <i>Sol Novo</i>.</h5>
<div>Olivia about her new single: “<span lang="EN-GB">In this song </span><span lang="EN-GB">there is</span><span lang="EN-GB"> the sense of being carried away by the wind and taking in the view from above to broaden my understanding – a feeling I strongly experience during my regular trips to the mountains near home.</span><b> </b><span lang="EN-GB">Only from these heights I have a realistic vision of our land and I can perceive that sense of belonging to a whole.</span><span lang="EN-GB">“</span></div>

<h5>Out today is Limerick-based producer and composer Paddy Mulcahy’s EP <i>Tidal Oscillations (XXIM:EXPO #1)</i>.</h5>
<div><span lang="EN-US">“<i>Tidal Oscillations</i> is a collection of works dedicated to and inspired by my love of and fascination with synthesizers; how delicate yet powerful they can be,” says Mulcahy. “A homage to my family of instruments that have served me so well, with every fader, knob, and cable inspiring a new approach and a new idea. The tracks on <i>Tidal Oscillation</i>s are all based on music I hear inside my head at my darkest moments, yet somehow it turned into something inspiring and uplifting.”</span></div>

<p>We are very excited to announce the beginning of our new long-term project — XXIM:EXPO.</p>
<p>For XXIM:EXPO, we will invite newcomers from across the whole spectrum of progressive instrumental music to curate and release an EP, sharing their unique vision with as wide an international audience as possible.</p>


<p>The XXIM:EXPO EPs will give highly individual, creative artists complete freedom to showcase their innovative, progressive music. Those invited to contribute will create their own sonic world, unhindered by overarching rules, guidelines, or concepts – the goal is to give their musical imagination its fullest possible expression. The EPs will be numbered, with one released every few months, allowing fans to discover exciting new artists and follow developments in post-genre instrumental music.</p>
