IXMAE is about the relationship between image and sound: i.e., how an album cover or label affects the way we hear the music.

Our contributors are a mix of graphic designers, musicians and mavens, all who's hearts are linked to that (almost!) ineffable feeling of seeing and holding music in our hands.

a lily | wake:sleep

A stunning album. Light, dense, organic and so full of love, it’s contagious. The first half of the album is like morning pieces -light streaming in through the windows, waking you up with clicks, whirs, and glorious melodies. While the second half of the album are like time shifts, so long and pure and comforting me to sleep. James Vella has a knack for these organic textures, regardless of instrumentation, and the melodies woven throughout stick in my mind for days. If you want some warmth and love in your life, then by all means pick this one up.
