Tonal - Nagual
Joke Lanz and Christian Wolfarth are two of the most interesting and extreme Swiss improvisers. They combine ritual reductionism with anarchistic playfulness, atmospheric soundscapes with cut-up noise and physicalness with unpredictability. Physical and electro-acoustic experiments are the flesh and bone of Tell. They break the boundaries between Improv, Experimental and Noise.

Fantastico Interiore
Big tip! *50 copies limited edition* nobile, one half of the former Milanese duo Voronoi, presents a new series of recordings of ephemeral ambient soundscapes, organic throbs and broken rhythmic textures that sublimate the more instinctual and playful side of his poetics.

Jimmy Woode again supports on bass, with a furious Billy Brooks on drums. ‘Theme From Zoltan’, a fierce modal original by Shaw, was recorded by Young the following year on his classic Blue Not…
Menagerie - Beach singularity - Vocalise
