Reviews from the Aural Realms is a curated series of music reviews presented by Other Worlds Than These, where sound becomes story and tone becomes terrain. This ongoing series explores ambient, cinematic, electronic, and genre-blurring music—works that speak to the soul and invite you into unseen worlds.
Penned by composer and sonic storyteller Keith Richie (aka Maestoso), these reviews aren’t just critiques—they’re reflections from a fellow traveler, highlighting music that inspires, haunts, and resonates deeply with the creative spirit behind Other Worlds Than These.
Whether you’re a fan of immersive listening, a fellow creator in search of new inspiration, or just someone seeking new sounds for late-night journeys—this realm is for you.
