Magic Oneohtrix Point Never
On Magic Oneohtrix Point Never, Daniel Lopatin turns his alias back on itself, building an FM‑radio hallucination that scans through pop ballads, new‑age satire and junk‑media collage. Mutant songs, warped DJ chatter and scavenged broadcast detritus form a self‑portrait of OPN’s first decade, mapped as a day spent spinning the dial of a half‑broken soft‑rock station.
Tranquilizer
On Tranquilizer, Oneohtrix Point Never (Daniel Lopatin) turns a cache of vanished 90s/early‑2000s sample CDs into a shimmering, otherworldly meditation on digital memory. Ambient‑new‑age rompler pads, anonymous whooshes and muzak fragments are re‑cut into vivid sound collages that feel more stupefying than sedative, tracing beauty inside the most ordinary sonic debris.
Adonia
Recorded across a single sweltering Paris summer in June 1978, Adonia - the lone album credited to Ose - captures a rare alignment of intellect, imagination, and emerging technology. For decades it has lingered as one of the great half-secrets of French electronic music's most fertile decade, traded between collectors who understood exactly what they were holding.
At just twenty-six, Hervé Picart was living three parallel lives: scholar of rhetoric and ancient languages, journalist for the Frenc…
Conal
Conal arrived in 1981 on the Norwegian independent Uniton Records, in a run of 4,000 copies, at a point when Conrad Schnitzler was long past being a German secret. The founding member of Kluster and a brief early presence in Tangerine Dream had spent the 1970s building a body of work largely outside the record industry, issuing a torrent of self-released cassettes and LPs whose titles almost all open with the syllable Con, completed by a second that points somewhere. By the start of the 1980s th…
Autodreamographical
Despite being midway through his seventies, minimalist icon Terry Riley shows no signs of slowing down or satisfying his searching experimental appetite. On Autodreamographical Tales Riley embarks upon a musical dream diary, a project initiated in 1996. The resultant pieces play out chiefly as spoken-word passages given musical accompaniment, with Riley scoring his own strange REM meanderings via an array of MIDI instruments and piano pieces. At various points during the course of the album you …
Quantum Listening (Book)
* Introduction by Ione, foreword by Laurie Anderson and illustrations by Aura Satz * What is the difference between hearing and listening? Does sound have consciousness? Can you imagine listening beyond the edge of your own imagination? In response to the anti-war movements of the 1960s, pioneering musician and composer Pauline Oliveros began to expand the way she made music, experimenting with meditation, movement and activism in her compositions. Fascinated by the role that sound and conscious…

Julius Eastman Vol. 3: If You're So Smart, Why Aren't You Rich?
2024 Stock. Wild Up’s Anthology engages with the complex history of Julius Eastman’s legacy and ideas, including the titles of his work. Each person involved in making this Anthology negotiates their position and relationship to the n-word; thus, the word appears in several permutations throughout. We chose to use Eastman’s given titles in the track listing to honor the composer’s intentions. With this seven-volume project, Wild Up aims to be part of the ongoing social, political, and artistic d…

My Dear Siegfried
"David Behrman has been active as a composer and artist since the 1960s. Over the years he has made sound and multimedia installations for gallery spaces as well as musical compositions. Sam Behrman and Siegfried Sassoon met in 1920, when Behrman, then a young writer working at The New York Times, was sent to interview Sassoon at the start of the English poet's postwar American lecture tour. In that tour Sassoon was billed as 'England's Soldier-Poet.' He had a reputation both as a war hero and …

The Appointed Cloud
Yoshi Wada has often said that The Appointed Cloud is his favorite of his own works, and listening to this remastered edition makes clear why. Staged at the Great Hall of the New York Hall of Science in 1987, the piece was Wada's first large-scale interactive installation, featuring a custom pipe organ and homemade instruments controlled by computer through an interface and software designed by engineer David Rayna, known for his work with La Monte Young. The space itself—designed for the 1964-6…
Io and her and the trouble with him
Written and directed by Ione. Music and sound design by Pauline Oliveros. A collaborative venture among artists of all types, this 'dance-opera' is a multimedia panorama of experimental theatre and technical virtuosity that includes aerial ballet, masks, video projection, a sinister thousand-eyed monster, and a highly imaginative electronic soundscape. The one-act story, set in primeval time, retells the myth of Io from a matriarchal perspective. Io, Argivian priestess, is transformed by a terri…
