Italian composer and saxophonist Laura Agnusdei ventures boldly into the mystifying unknown with a rousing, futurist blend of noise, ambience, and spiritual jazz on her latest album, Flowers Are Blooming in Antarctica. Inspired by radical written works like James Bridle’s Ways of Being, Luigi Serafini’s Codex Seraphinianus, and J.G. Ballard’s cautionary tales of dystopian climate-fiction, Agnusdei envisions new worlds through sound, ones brimming with menacing synthetic vistas and quietly poetic discord.
