Gma
2007 release ** Limited edition of 250 hand-numbered copies in a card sleeve. "Russian project Erthad, originating from Kazan, exists since late 90-ies, but until now still hasn't made any official releases and preferred to stay in underground, recording music only for himself and his friends. We have been endeavouring to change this situation for a long time and now we're glad to present this wonderful disk to your attention. "Gma" was recorded in 2002 with the use of voice and software noise s…
Dishoek
2005 release ** "Just before we started to miss Guido Möbius he surprised us with “Dishoek”, his second album, recorded for Hamburg’s Dekorder label. Again featuring a conglomeration of acoustic and electrical instruments (guitar, bass, violin, cornet drums, synthesizer, clarinet among other things.) and a variety of guests, so that one hardly dares to call it a solo album. Still everything is magically held together by one single person. Melodies and noises, styles and individual characteristic…

2003 release ** Featuring Moljebka Pulse , Dual, Ure Thrall, Ultrasound, SRMeixner, Cats of Tel Aviv, Moljebka Pulse, Ure Thrall, Troum.

CSW 14_03_2015
2016 release ** Established in 2013 and currently having over 50 floating members, the Warsaw Improvisers Orchestra acts as a resource for musicians to meet and work in a large improvising ensemble, or in smaller units within a larger context. Spontaneous music making is our remit, but on occasion, scores both regular and graphic may be used as well as visual cues presented by visual artists. The orchestra is a chance for people to develop a deeper understanding of the relationship of sound and…
Meshes
2009 release ** "Two improvisations-one live, one without audience-by an Anglo-French trio of new voices from trombonist Forge, electronics artists Julian and cellist Papapostolou. The music is quiet and spacious....there is a wonderful sense of slowness to the music that suggests each sound, every contribution comes only after careful consideration."
Cooks & Devils
2009 release ** "„Cooks & Devils“, a single track culled from a performance at the Kunstverein Göttingen in Summer of last year, shows just how far Ignaz Schick has come. The „Snake Figure Arkestra“, the latest formation to flow from Schick's fantastical fluidum, is centered around an enduring partnership with Marcel Türkowsky but, needless to say, again open to external input and to debate, discussion and critical discourse: The Arkestra has already joined forces with Drone-Surrealist Christop…
Der Ruf
2006 release ** "Five years after the release of Sal Solaris' first album "Outerpretation Of Dreams" on the Austrian label Hau Ruck!, Der Angriff and Indiestate are pleased to present the second CD of this magnificent Russian industrial project. The music of "Solnechnaya Sol" can be called "power ambient" - deep and penetrating, without obvious rhythm or noise, it does not have a calming meditative effect, but a powerful and active impact. The closest comparisons include Reutoff, Stalnoy Pakt or…

Linkage
First-time vinyl reissue is limited to 750 numbered copies. Comes with booklet. Terry Fox was a first generation Bay Area conceptual artist.

God Blesses Us, Mother Dresses Us

"This 2006-2008 collection of twenty-four electronic bedroom recordings features previously unreleased songs as well as all tracks from the out of print LP and demo."
No Kidding
2007 release ** "Solo 'noise guitar' side from Mr Michael Yonkers, whose 1968 recording Microminiature Love remains one of the most avant garde garage punk recordings ever to make it to Sub Pop. This is eleven tracks of cranked-up, F/X shredding six string destruction from a guy with a whole lifetime of ferocious electric guitar re-invention already behind him. A wild one."
Violin By Night
Issued in a hardcover book. The artist name and the titles printed on the obi are written in Japanese. The corresponding English name and titles are mentioned in the book. "The album opens with "A New Heaven," unfolding a gentle, submerged-sounding piano or harmonic motif over a very minimal, murky, and vaporous bed. It is extremely simple melodically, but Andrew Chalk creates some impressive things dynamics, making all the notes ripple, shimmer, and decay like droplets on a moonlit pool.…
Early Sound Installations
In the early 1980s, several artists such as Satoshi Ashikawa and Hiroshi Yoshimura, who were pioneers during the early days of Japanese sound art, began to display their works at exhibitions. Ashikawa, who passed away at the young at the age of 30, worked at Art Vivant, a store affiliated with the Seibu Museum of Art in Tokyo, and was one of the first to introduce materials and records of environmental and experimental music from outside of Japan. Artists began coming to Art Vivant to see Ashika…
Solid Layers, Deafening Shapes
2016 release ** "A solo percussion album from Francesco Gregoretti, employing traditional instruments and unusual object to create unique audio environment that use predictable rhythmic elements against capricious approaches, giving his playing a personal style fueled by resonance and natural feedback; an album that balances chaotic and structured environments in riveting ways."
Music for Gallery
Several tapes that were discovered at Aki Takahashi's house and audio sources that have been put on hold until now are being released collectively. The time periods and contents of the sounds vary, and most of the detailed data are not known. Nevertheless, the contents are all very intriguing, including live recordings by Hiroyoshi Suzuki from the days of "Jikken Kobo" (Experimental Workshop), never-before-heard works by Toru Takemitsu, and the strange electronic music of Joji Yuasa. We decided …

Edition Omega Point presents work by legendary Japanese composer Joji Yuasa - Genjitsu was a film created in 1966 by a director Tetsuji Takechi, known as a legend of Showa eroticism. But this film has been hidden somewhere somehow from the public for a long time. The film’s story focuses around a prostitute and has a strong fantasy literature style to it as one may have guessed from its title Genjitsu (Sun dog; an optical phenomenon that consists of a light source alongside of the Sun in rare cl…
