Vanessa Rossetto’s “Dogs in English Porcelain” features a picture of a very worn looking food-spattered electric stove on its cover. This image, it seems, is the perfect representation of the music itself; all the hum and buzz, and unquiet “silence” that you would experience in the pictured cluttered domicile takes shape in the form of a single forty-one minute sound piece. Strings, field recordings, metal utensils tracing delicate lines upon assorted cooking vessels, the birds outside the window, the soft droning of a radio announcer’s voice through AM crackle; all play their part in the masterful creation of this image in sound. 8/10
