Tretetam
A state of mind between sleep and consciousness, where the past gently glides over the future, weaving it's self into the unknown. An unfamiliar place, surrounded by things you recognized and things you do not. Birds in flight, sprinklers, quiet humming of machines, echoing voices blended with strains of haunted melodies that remind you there is a vast world outside your door in a state of constant change.

12 December 2007
2008 release ** Limited edition of 120 hand numbered copies. "12 December 2007 is a live recording of Dorothy Geller (From Quagmire) alias Dora Bleu and Alexandre St-Onge (Shalabi Effect, et Sans) taken in Montreal at Zoobizarre on that date. Several of the songs are inspired by the film The Night Porter (1976). The live event itself was called "Music on Dark Screens." St-Onge's dark, minimal and lush double bass is a perfect compliment to Geller's unconventional and minimal song structures. The…
Hassu Pelle

This hilarious quintet was formed by Pelle Eloton, Pelle Svanslös, Ulkomaan Pelle, Pelle Jätkä, and Apupelle who was involved with the recording session. Hassu Pelle’s self-titled first and only record was originally released by the band members themselves with the edition of approximately only 30 copies. Hassu Pelle played some mind-boggling live shows for the handful of people mostly j…
Sacred Hiss / Ghost Oracle
2006 release ** Cardboard sleeve. The project Uton was started by Jani Hirvonen in Tampere, Finland in 2001. Uton is a spirit, which has no form, but which can take a form if it likes; usually in a sound - which can be found from the Uton releases. The sound and energy is produced and manifested with the help of human; collaborating with our earthly vibrations. From the beginning the sound has been strongly experimental and improvised, but the methods of doing has been changed between the album…
Bowl Ceremony
Gigging with a varying and often an extensive group, Kheta Hotem has visited the studio with a somewhat stripped basic essence. This release is a collection of sense-filling presentations starting with a ritual-like bowl ceremony, which leads into results closely related with free jazz and ethnomusic. In their gig brochure the group claims they continue the more than 1000 years old musical tradition of Komutia, where the musician acts as a mediator between the world of sounds and everyday existe…
Inversions
Latest from Albany guitar duo whose six string damaging has often shred the guitar beyond recognition. For this outing, however, Century Plants plug in, and allow their guitars to be guitars. Psych raga, melting icebergs of roaring drone, metallic strum and clang, oceanic melody and even a helping of pastoral song melody separate this from previous smash ups. Hardiman and Hare create these hypnotic states from the ground up, building their sound out of pure improvisation. Oh yeah, the guitars do…
Topatut Alamaiset
Rhythm Kingz made its first appearance in 1982 playing a couple of gigs in student parties. After hibernation of about 25 years the name was dug out again for naming a line-up which concentrates on blues-based improvization. All the songs on this CD are recorded in impro sessions in 2008: The principle has been that nothing is agreed about songs in advance but the songs have evolved from a tiny idea or a riff played by somebody, and all the other players have followed. Also the lyrics have beed …
777
The band was formed in 1999 when ST 37 founder Carlton Crutcher and his wife Sharon began seeking a magical, improvisational musical outlet. The band has stayed true to this vision for 9 years of live shows, studio recordings and numerous musicians. All of the recordings on 777 were recorded in 2007 and represent a peak for Book of Shadows as a live band as well as a studio band. For this CD, Sharon on vocals and Carlton on keys, are joined by Eric Archer (Numbers on the Mast) on guitar/electron…

With the Antithetical Self
"With the antithetical self" consists of improvisational pieces completed between winter 2008 and spring 2009.
I would sit quietly in an empty room daily and calibrate myself to all noises surrounding. from there a single tone would be introduced, which i would listen to for fifteen or twenty minutes before joining in. on some days, listening was enough. at other times, i would hear a song within the tone and mimic it, bringing it out into existence and layer it from there with additional instru…
Reversed Dreams of this Nature
"Truly an "underground" project, Fougou (pronounced "foo-goo") is a new venture by Brian Lavelle and Matthew Shaw which takes its starting point in the mysterious prehistory of Cornwall in the southwest of the British Isles, in particular that areas's enigmatic subterranean chambers known as fougous. Credible theories have proposed that the purpose of these chambers was ritualistic - as portals to elsewhere. The music of Fougou flows from that idea and is inspired also by the writings of British…
Orla
A.M is Antony Milton, once again stripping back to just his initials for a noise/sound based record. The concept for this album is a pretty simple one, Milton received an Orla chord organ (an instrument that pretty much begs to be used for drones) as a present from a friend and decided to use it as the primary source material for this album. You might be tempted to think Antony has gone and sabotaged himself by chaining himself to such an instrument for an entire album but, through some skilful …
Cosmic Continuum
Elektronavn AKA Magnus Olsen Majmon is a Danish sound sculptor that shapes a claustrophobic, almost physical experience with haunting drones constructed from an arsenal of instruments such as clarinet, distorted voice, guitar, organ, flute, gong, harp, field recordings and percussion. The music is pretty much impossible to lump into any particular genre but there is a significant folk vibe that runs through a lot of the music, even the more experimental and psychedelic parts. This might have som…
Grass Openings
After numerous CDs, CDRs, cassettes and LPs, Brothers of the Occult Sisterhood have established themselves as one of the many lights in modern improvised outsider music. Their latest offering, ‘Grass Openings’ sees them continue down this winding path of intoxicated trance derangement. Drawing heavily from psychedelic, jazz and weirdo traditions to create a unique form of mutant sound.

stots
2005 release ** "The music contained in this awesome CD could be defined as an outsider's version of electro-acoustic composition, using improvisation & field recordings as the main material to build the pieces with. The point of departure for making the whole song cycle was the conscious misunderstanding of language; coming from the idea that you can never say exactly the same thing in a different language (so 'i love you' means something else then 'je t'aime'). 'Stots' and all the song title…
universonbangorfeo
2004 release ** "Nippon & the Symbol’s record “Universonbangaorfeo” comes at the end of two years of live concerts and performances of the band.

Memphis
The recordings were done at 2 seperate gigs at Photospace Gallery in Wellington, NZ. I exhibited at the gallery twice and we began performing there quite often (the owner even played drums for my group The Rick Jensen Trio). Nova Scotia played a number of times there as the environment was particularly suited to us, outside was the main street in Wellington, where everyone would go drinking at night. It was all nightclubs and bars, buskers and drunk people. When we performed we'd open the window…
