2025 stock ** "Second full-lenght release by German sound-poet and writer Michael Barthel on Tochnit Aleph. A 60-minute piece recited from memory. Recorded April 2018 straight to tape without overdubs. Raw, unsettling, poetically incorrect. “Halber Pogo (half a pogo) is a 60 minute recording in which scripted text-pieces are recited from memory. The selection of the pieces is left up to the moment, as much as how much content of each piece is remembered; along with their actually determined pron…

2025 stock ** "Kazuma Kubota The flag-bearer of the Post Harsh Noise, His famous works up to now that lay the foundation of his present, have been turned into CDs and two titles will be released at the same time! This work is an original EP exclusively released by the U.S. label Pitchphase in 2010.

It is a masterpiece that creates a …

2025 stock ** "Kazuma Kubota The flag-bearer of the Post Harsh Noise, His famous works up to now that lay the foundation of his present, have been turned into CDs and two titles will be released at the same time! This work is a compilation of the single-sided LP that was exclusively released in 2012 by an Italian label "Dear Girl Called Wendy" and the self-released EP in 2009 with only 20 copies (!) into a single CD. "January Thirty" is a piece that wavers in between the cold and intense harsh n…

2009 release ** ""Istet Serenade" is foray into the area of music space that represents the core of Roland's sound philosophy, Isophonics. The theory of composed improvisation of stillness in the fluidity of constant change. The thingness of actualized sound in the nothingness of acoustic evaporation and recreation from the source of the indwelling presence. This occurs at a speed which defies conscious comprehension but which reveals abundant spiritual revelatory aspects. It requires a state of…

2025 stock ** "British compositions dominate Lush Laments for Lazy Mammal. Both Gavin Bryars (born in Yorkshire, 1943) and Laurence Crane (born in Oxford, 1961) belong to the classic experimental scene in England, a scene that developed in the wake of the conceptual New York School music in the 1960s. The Englishmen draw inspiration from composers such as Cage and Feldman, as well as from earlier cult figures such as Eric Satie, who anticipated genres such as minimalism and ambient as far back a…

2001 release ** "Mudra is an introspective CD made of Tibetan Singing Bowls. The sound pattern of the Singing Bowls is developed in a gliding way, to enhance the subtle vibrations of the overtones. The circular mode of the melody is meant to include a trance - like tranquility in the listener. The CD should be heard at a low volume as a meditative background and can be used also for therapeutic and massage - settings."

2008 release ** "We created West State to develop the ideas that appealed to us, but did not fit in the framework of Cyclotimia, our core project. This explains why our work has been spontaneous and sporadic, and some of the tracks remained unfinished for years on end. Besides, West State embraces some of the tracks that were originally meant for Cyclotimia. Despite the seemingly eclectic content and its being created at different times and on different equipment, the result is a complete and se…

1988 release ** Your Neighborhood Saxophone Quartet is a saxophone quartet based in the Boston area, from 1980 to the present, specializing in improvised music and original compositions by its members. The group recorded one LP on its own label and five CDs for the Coppens label (Amsterdam), and made nine trips to Europe to perform at clubs, concerts, and festivals, one midwestern US tour, and many appearances around New England and in New York City.

2025 stock ** "On South Bank - the most vital and essential document of Reid and Hebden's five-year partnership-- it feels clear that, at least onstage, they were finally able to go the distance. The invocation "Morning Prayer" opens slowly, circling in space with a meditative calm. For 17 minutes, the pair traces lines around the other's rhythm, Hebden's electronics and keys shaping a cradle for Reid's busy tom-and-cymbal patter, and vice versa. Back in 2006, on Volume 1, "Morning Prayer" felt …

2000 release ** "“To awaken the ear well” was one of the goals of Luigi Nono in his last creative period, the 1980s and 20th century. Between pianissimo and complete silence, the listener is invited to unexpected sound adventures. Tense intensity with a sparse expression goes together with the breaking of clear coherence in a very concentrated and targeted manner. As one of his first works, the Variazioni from 1950 derives its substance from Arnold Schönberg, his posthumous father-in-law. The us…

1992 release ** The first in a three volume compilation (each available separately) of 114 improvisers from around the world, covering a wide variety of approaches to improvisation. Includes Henry Kaiser, Splatter Trio, and Randy McKean.

2008 release ** "The composer Jørgen Plaetner (1930-2002) is well known as one of Scandinavia's electronic music pioneers. His electronic works from the 1960s remain among the most original of their kind. However, Plaetner also has a more traditional side and wrote a large number of acoustic works.One of the big chamber works from Plaetner's late period is the trio Episodes and Collisions. It was written in 1996 for LINensemble with its combination of clarinet, cello and piano. Jørgen Plaetner h…

2009 release ** "Bob Rutman was born in Berlin in 1931. His mother was Jewish and had to escape from Germany with her son when the Nazis rose to power. Rutman attended refugee schools in England during the Second World War and settled in the USA after having completed his education in 1950. He worked as a salesman in Texas before enroilling in art school in Mexico City, where he married and fathered a child. Together with his wife and son Rutman returned to the US in 1962 and started an art gall…

2025 stock ** "The innovative, boundary-smashing work of Nicole Mitchell, whom Chicago Reader music critic Peter Margasak has hailed as the “greatest living flutist in jazz”, has contributed new life to Afrofuturism in the 21st Century. A voracious reader of science fiction since her youth (Afrofuturist author Octavia E. Butler in particular has exerted a heavy influence on her music), the musician, composer and educator has released a string of albums that fold themes centered around technology…

2000 release - cardboard box with three cards inserted (light storage wear) ** "The second album by A Short Apnea, Illu Ogod Ellat Rhagedia is a concept album divided into three long tracks, themselves evolving tunes composed of different movements. The innovative rock symphony -- involving not only guitar, bass, and drums but also accordion, sax, clarinet, '60s psychedelic experimentation, jazz as free expression, and '90s American noise rock -- breaches today's rock line and finds its place as…

2012 release. Cold Waters is the result of a very short yet intense meeting between Jean-Herve Peron (Faust) and Amaury Cambuzat (Ulan Bator). The duo met in the French countryside -- two days, two mics, two friends, and a dog... from hilarious to heart-striking, these "Songs from the Mill" flowed through them. Cold Waters, far from being an anecdotal side-note to their ongoing collaborative efforts in the legendary "krautrock" band Faust, reaffirms the duo's successful explorations as leading f…

1991 release ** "Jon Rose, Peter Hollinger, Johannes Bauer & Dietmar Diesner live in Victoriaville in 1990."

1992 release ** "A selection of futurist music which combines some very rare audio documents that have survived (for example, the Chorale by Antonio Russolo) with piano reinterpretations by the composer Daniele Lombardi."

2025 stock ** A very strange 'paycheck' project for Conny Plank and Achim Reichel's Gorilla Musik production company. Wonderland-esque German rock with heavy Christian lyrics! A.R. is nowhere to be seen on the sleevenotes, but his fingerabdrücke are everywhere. You can make up your own punchline for the album title. First-ever reissue includes full lyrics and two bonus tracks from their only 7" release

1992 release ** "Following on from the excellent "Scene In Mirage" reissue that broke O Yuki Conjugate to a whole new crowd, Emotional Rescue return to the archives of the over-looked Nottingham "dirty ambient" outfit. Their second LP "Into Dark Water", originally released in 1987, is just as powerful as the first - a hypnagogic journey fuelled by a global stew of sound, feeding into elegant, evocative pieces. Fans of classic Jon Hassell will find much to enjoy here, but equally those appreciati…

1993 release ** "Linea d'ombra is the CD from more than twenty years ago with which the author inaugurated his personal journey as an interpreter-composer on the border between the languages ​​of jazz, classical music and rock. At the time, Roberto Verti wrote about it in the presentation of the CD: “A musician with a cult background who moves between the moods of the new age and the high craftsmanship of the academy, between the La Scala scene and minimal, jazz; plays with flutes and combines t…

1993 release ** "The trio setting of tuba and non-traditional percussion and Eskelin's compositions leave an uncluttered canvas free of many of the standard traps of head-solo-head without disolving into the total formlessness of much "avant garde" jazz. The musicians (Ellery Eskelin  - tenor, Joe Daley - tuba, and Arto Tuncboyaciyan - percussion) respond to the setting with some beautifully executed improvisations. At the center of the trio, Eskelin's thick tenor sound - a seemingly impossible …

1992 release  ** "The 3rd and final album by Les Granules. The pieces on this album are recorded in real time and without overlays. Each of the composed or improvised pieces was subsequently the subject of serious alterations by collage. Slight differences in pulsation, tuning, and subtle shifts from one beat to another, from one type of sound recording to another, were highlighted rather than hidden, producing the effect of a mosaic or quilt. " Jean Derome: flutes, alto sax, calls, drum machine…

1991 release ** "Electroacoustic chamber music. In the booklet Mikael Tosti is credited playing electroacoustic violin as well as Ko de Regt, obukano and Henrik Jespersen, electroacoustic saxophone."

1990 release ** "Rova Saxophone Quartet’s 1990 recording of music composed by Steve Adams, Fred Frith, Henry Kaiser, Larry Ochs and Jon Raskin. With music by Rova, Henry Kaiser (g), and Fred Frith, this was an outgrowth of a successful local concert series. It’s one of the few sax quartet albums that utilizes studio and sampling technology as an artistic tool."

1989 release (RARE) ** "The acRID acME [of] P16.D4 might be the most well known work, no doubt due to the unique approach taken for the first segment: in 1987, the P16.D4 dredged recordings from the 1981 punk incarnation and placed them in a completely different context. As a result, "Maba 4. 12." and "Rotting Outscratched" reveal their initial forms, the former with the occasionally perceptible fragment of punk thrash sipping out unscathed from the abused tapes, and the latter allowing a hint o…

2025 stock ** Erdem Helvagioglu first broke through to the international audience with his Walk Through the Bazaar...a collection of sounds from the bazaar in Istanbul that he worked to create an emotional tour. On this record the listener is presented with the performer, on live guitar with live electronics and processing. This kind of work is straight up 'new music' and has strong affinities to the downtown, improvised and modern classical currents that are being played throughout the capitals…

1990 release **

1991 release ** "The singer's vocal style is characterized by an enormous vocal range and a particularly accentuated use of the voice as an instrument (cf. Scat or Bop vocals). The constant change of intonations and phrasing as well as different timbres, the mixture of cantilènes and squeaking or cooing noises with overtone singing creates a confusingly diverse sound world of strong tension, which always comes into its own not only in solo performances, but also in ensemble playing, without domi…

1998 release ** "This is a change of pace for West Coast musician Steuart Leibig, who is joined here by saxophonist Vinny Golia and drummer Billy Mintz for a mix of Leibig compositions and thoroughly improvised numbers. Leibig leaves his violin at home, instead focusing on contrabass guitars, while Golia muscles his way on baritone and soprano saxophones. The composed pieces are loose constructs; a different course from the leader's earlier penchant for densely layered colors. If the disc has a …

1990 release ** "For fans of that particular brand of noisy avant-gardism for which Robert Christgau coined the term "skronk," guitarist/violinist Fred Frith and saxophonist Tim Hodgkinson need no introduction. Charter members of the 1970s avant rock outfit Henry Cow, each has spent a lot of time making unspeakable noises with his instrument, and often those noises have been unspeakably glorious. This collection of live recordings -- all of them taken from live gigs around England in May of 1990…

1995 release ** "This engaging little slab reflects a 1995 recording date between Evan Parker's saxophones, Antonello Salis' piano and accordion, and Mauro Orselli's drums and cymbals. Featuring nine variously timed improvisations, this works simply because of the sheer delight and will of the performers. Here, texture means nothing, tonality means nothing, listening means nothing. The reason for being, the raison d'être, if you will, is simply action and reaction and more action. This is consci…
