Great new album from Olafur Arnalds - a long time favourite of Rough Trade. The highly anticipated record features Ólafur’s ground-breaking new software, Stratus, which transforms the humble piano into a unique new instrument. He is currently performing his new material on a huge worldwide tour. The Stratus Pianos are two self-playing, semi-generative player pianos which are triggered by a central piano played by Ólafur, and are the centrepiece of his new works. The custom-built software is born out of two years of work by the composer and audio developer, Halldór Eldjárn. The algorithms generated from Stratus were also used to create the innovative album artwork. On the album Ólafur uses these methods reinvigorate the compositional experience, feeding back into the creative process in a completely new way. As Ólafur plays a note on the piano, two different notes are generated by Stratus, creating unexpected harmonies and surprising melodic sequences.

Utopia (stylized as utopia) is the upcoming ninth studio album by Icelandic musician Björk, scheduled for release on 24 November 2017 through One Little Indian Records. During a Facebook Live event held on 15 September 2017 to promote the album's first single, Björk gave insight into the album's theme of utopia in an uncertain political environment: "We have Trump, we have Brexit, we have our issues in Iceland, we have our environmental issues. I think if there ever was an urgency or necessity to come up with another Utopian model, how we're going to live our lives, I think it's now, and (these are) my proposals."

來自台南的晨曦光廊，是一個沒有Vocal但卻會讓人感動落淚的搖滾樂團。
Post Emo指的是後現代情緒搖滾，該類型樂風以日本ENVY樂團為代表，Post Emo顧名思義就是由兩種樂風融
合而成的搖滾樂，以Emo情緒搖滾為主軸，結合Post Rock為音樂背景。聽他們的音樂彷彿像他們的團名一樣，
站在長廊看到晨曦般如此溫暖與純真。晨曦光廊透過樂器把最真誠的感動用樂聲直達每個人的心靈。
晨曦光廊於2008組成，是由吉他兼主唱-昶煬、Bass手兼副主唱-阿吉以及鼓手-許花三個大男生組成。2010年加入
新團員二胡手-小曄，以及音效師-小衛。這兩年來經歷過大大小小無數的表演，從全台灣的各大校園，以及
許多LIVE HOUSE例如:The Wall、迴響、浮現、駁二...等，一直到春天吶喊、小草地、大港開唱...各種大大小小
的活動，都可以看到晨曦光廊的蹤影。
晨曦意同日出，象徵著希望和重生，在現今的社會中我們常因服從現實而改變自我，久而久之便失去心中最真實
的那一面，甚至害怕被看穿。所以我們想創造一條洗滌心靈的走廊，希望走在這條晨曦光廊的人們，可以勇敢
面對自我，和自己最不堪的那一面相處，甚至可以快樂的想起心中的遺憾
