Wounds
Wounds captures David Toop and Paul Burwell at their most relentlessly inventive, distilling the London Musicians Collective’s radical energy into tactile, improvised sound rituals. Edited from a single 1979 performance, it’s a landmark of British experimental music: two artists in conversation with objects, timbre, and the primal roots of musical creation.
Intents and Purposes
A singularly visionary work, Intents and Purposes by Bill Dixon transforms the jazz orchestra into a vessel for avant-garde poetics. With bracing counterpoint and lush timbral complexity, Dixon’s 1967 RCA masterwork dissolves boundaries between composition and improvisation, charting new territory for collective sonic exploration.
Organic Music Theatre - Festival de jazz de Chateauvallon 1972
* 2xLP on black vinyl, pressed at RTI and housed in a heavy-duty tip-on gatefold Stoughton jacket. * In the late 1960s, the American trumpet player and free jazz pioneer Don Cherry (1936–1995) and the Swedish visual artist and designer Moki Cherry (1943–2009) began a collaboration that imagined an alternative space for creative music, most succinctly expressed in Moki’s aphorism “the stage is home and home is a stage.” By 1972, they had given name to a concept that united Don’s music, Moki’s art…

Mectpyo Box
**Edition of 200, very last copies available** Maurizio Bianchi - aka M.B. - began composing in 1979, working in the lineage of Pierre Schaeffer's musique concrète: a practice rooted in the concrete manipulation of recorded sound rather than traditional notation. His stated aim was "to produce technological sounds and in such a way to work on complete realising of the modern decadence". From his early tape works as Sacher-Pelz to the LPs issued between 1981 and 1984, M.B. developed a singular co…

Complete Electronic Works 1955-2012 Dacapo Records (Book + CD + Complete Digital Discography). In a Gestapo prison cell in 1944, a young Danish resistance fighter saw a star flash through the window and heard music coming from inside herself.

That woman was Else Marie Pade, and this moment marked the beginning of one of the most remarkable careers in 20th-century electronic music. This special edition book fro…

Na-Gi 1997
A CD of minimalist environmental sounds by this Japanese sound-artist Akio Suzuki. This music was recorded in Takano, Tango-cho, the northern-most coast of Kyoto, where I live. The bay surrounded by volcanic rock caves is the place where the mighty sounds of waves of the open sea have their muffled echo. Seawater flows into the hollows in the rock again and again like breathing in and breathing out. Spring water constantly drips in the cave, and now and then the wind from the meadow above the ch…
Klangregionen 1951-2007
German composer Josef Anton Riedl doesn’t have many releases to show for nigh on six decades of activity. Of his small handful of albums, all long out of print, the best known is a 1972 Wergo LP. The second half of the noughties saw a minor swell of interest in Riedl’s work – the Wergo album was given the Creel Pone CD-R bootleg treatment in 2005, and one of his compositions was included on the fifth volume of Sub Rosa’s Anthology Of Noise And Electronic Music series – but for the most part he r…

An outstanding album, Voice, Books and Fire is the result of Jakob Ullmann reflections about the relationships between music and language: language as sound and language as text, the numerous relationships between texts of different cultural and religious traditions, between the work of the human spirit in the present and in the past and the questions arising from the problem of understanding these different traditions, languages and texts and representing them in a present, which has lost knowl…
