A phosphene is "the phenomenon of seeing light without light entering the eye." The title of the heart-rending and resolute new album by composer/violinist Jessica Moss could not be better chosen. Moss is by now a seasoned practitioner of immersive isolation music; across three previously acclaimed solo records of minimal and maximal post-classicism, her acoustic, amplified, and electronically-shifted violin is the raw material for deeply expressive, palpably haunted, wholly committed compositions. But Phosphenes inscribes fleeting halos of refracted ghostly light out of a prevailing darkness with especially plangent determination and intensity. This is the most overtly searching, mournful and inexorable music Moss has made to date. The pieces on Phosphenes exquisitely navigate consonance and dissonance, building patiently from single notes to multiple voicings, harmonic stacks and clusters. These compositions channel themselves like slow-moving water in a dark cave, finding small eddies and catching glints of luminescence from within. Signal processing is kept to a minimum in the three-movement "Contemplation" suite on Side One, where Moss deploys amplification chiefly in the service of activating overtones and pitch-shifts, thickening and widening the sonics, carving out her unique timbral space. Based on a four-note sequence that sets whole tones against one another, "Contemplation" is a bona fide requiem that finds Moss at her most instrumentally naturalistic, measured, and modern. Side Two unfolds in a more foreboding vein: "Let Down" is marked by cavernous octave-dropped arco and pizzicato, providing a gothically-inflected substratum upon which hauntingly wordless vocal invocations and cumulative gyres of violin melody unfurl. "Distortion Harbour" grinds with noisier grit and a more harrowing complexion, highlighting Moss's ambient-metal sensibility and her distinctive palette of industrial-inflected power electronics - a reminder of why she's also been a go-to player on albums by the likes of Big Brave, Oiseaux-Tempete and Zu in recent years. These two songs also feature upright bass from old friend and former bandmate Thierry Amar (Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Thee Silver Mt. Zion, Black Ox Orkestar). Album closer "Memorizing & Forgetting" is inarguably the most tender and beautiful song in Jessica's oeuvre: a keening lullabye of sorts, on which she plays piano, violin and guitar, joined by her partner Julius Levy in a lustrous ambient vocal duet. Everyone has been trying to find a way through and out of pandemic, lockdown, social isolation and often darkened hope - and for many musicians, the absence of touring, of live performance, live sound, live audiences, and a living. For Moss, it's also been "like when you press your fists hard against your eyes and eventually there is fireworks." The light gets in where it can, even or maybe especially as imaginative sensory simulacra (if/when we shut down our screens and are left to our own devices). Recorded alone at home and in her rehearsal space, reconstituted with best friend and long-standing co-producer Radwan Ghazi Moumneh at Montreal's Hotel2Tango studio as restrictions loosened in summer 2021, mastered by James Plotkin; Phosphenes is a stoic, acutely sensitive, superlative musical statement from Moss. Thanks for listening.

Really helps soothe baby eczema overnight
Size: 11 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This balm worked very well for my baby’s eczema, especially when used at night. It’s thick and moisturizing but not greasy, and it absorbs nicely into the skin. After a few nights of use, I noticed less redness, dryness, and scratching, and my baby seemed more comfortable sleeping. It’s fragrance-free and gentle, which is very important for sensitive baby skin. A little goes a long way, so the jar lasts a good amount of time. If your baby has dry or eczema-prone skin, this is definitely worth trying.

Helped with my baby's eczema!!
Size: 11 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Long overdue review but this was a lifesaver for my sons eczema. Before he was diagnosed, I was struggling to find a moisturizer to help soothe his angry red skin and his flare up wasn't going away or lessening at all. My sister whose son also has eczema, suggested I buy this tub after she gave us some to try. It worked! As a first time mom, seeing my 4-5 month old baby suffering from itchy and uncomfortable skin, I was so stressed about finding something that would help him. This body balm was thick and applied daily after his nighttime bath. The large red patches on his body slowly started to dissipate and we were so relieved. He was prescribed steroid cream for worse flare ups but we use this regularly to keep his eczema flare ups to a minimum and avoid steroid use as much as possible. Although sometimes this doesn't work for the more severe flares, so keep that in mind. It's okay to use the steroid cream or eucrisa prescribed by the doctor. Aveeno is a great daily maintenance cream to help keep their skin moisturized and happy. I highly recommend this jar of body balm, it lasts for many months and a little bit goes a long way.

Very gentle and effective for baby’s eczema-prone skin
Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1), Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This Aveeno baby face cream has worked really well for my baby’s sensitive, eczema-prone skin. I use it daily on the face, especially on dry and irritated areas, and it helps keep the skin soft, calm, and well moisturized. The texture is rich but not greasy, and it absorbs nicely without leaving the skin sticky. I’ve noticed a clear improvement in dryness and redness after consistent use, especially during colder or drier days. I appreciate that it’s gentle, fragrance-free, and suitable for delicate baby skin. It hasn’t caused any irritation or breakouts, which gives me peace of mind when applying it to my baby’s face. A small amount goes a long way, making it great for everyday use. Overall, this is a reliable and soothing face cream for babies who struggle with dryness or eczema. I would definitely recommend it to other parents.
