Drone Pilot
We are happy to announce the first release in our new established ‘Sound Writings’ series: Drone Pilot by writer, sound artist, and programmer Ian Hatcher (*1983). His work explores cognition in the context of digital systems. While studying Digital Language Arts at Brown University, he came up with his own propositions in this field: the way he trained his own voice, prosody and word-flow to mimick the qualities and even glitches of speech-synthesis is extremely suitable for a realization in so…
Sister Love Productions Presents High Risk
Reissue of a very rare Spiritual Jazz / poetry 7inch. All woman Soul Jazz with attitude and a message! 'The Common Woman' is a basement revamp of Herbie Hancoks 'Maiden Voyade' with flute, recitation and a lovely piano buildup. Flip it and you have the polical soulful track 'Degradation' including conga breakdown! Rare replica reissue from the very hard to find 1974 original released by The Women's Press Collective.
Velloa
"Timo Van Luijk and Bart De Paepe in troubled water" says the label press: Ilta Hämärä, the duo of Bart De Paepe (Sylvester Anfang II, Bokrijk, Charles Vögele) and Timo van Luijk (Af Ursin, Elodie, La Poupee Vivante). An imaginary source that combines Bart’s hazy psychedelic antics and Timo’s subtle and abstract sound manipulations in otherworldly spheres of cosmic dimensions
Evestrum
Spiracle" has flown to the stratosphere in "Ananta" and has swallowed the milky way in "Lumen". Now it opens the gate to the parallel worlds through the astral body.Side A: Evestrum is formed by membranous layers of drones, which slowly shift by the interference between glass harps and moderate electronic sounds.It is a sonographical report of the process: a subtle spiritual existence merges into a physical body and becomes tangible through the senses.Side B: Exusiai is formed by the resonance o…
Past Or Beyond
Seeking refuge in songcraft, D. Charles Speer and the Helix spin tales of mental instability and institutional exploitation into a thick, heady, groove laden brew. The professorial attack of the ivories, the sear of the strings, the pounding of drum skins amass into a righteous storm bound to overwhelm those uncoverted. This is an unholy mix of heart ripped vocal, Longhair piano, and guitar work drawing from both Mike Bloomfield and Norman Westberg. Featuring silk screened covers and hand stampe…
Live at Cafe OTO
** Edition of 200 copies ** Istanbul-based free music ensemble Konstrukt perform alongside special guest Alexander Hawkins building the perfect groove in a sweaty Cafe Oto on August 10th 2015. Two sets from the same night, each a 40 minute long improvisation. First set is a psychedelic warm-up where the Turkish quartet welcomes Hawkins in a whirlwind of hypnotic funky tunes going electric in the Miles Davis way. The second set starts with Hawkins piano keys bouncing along a silent background soo…
Hidden Dragon
Shetahr is a three headed trash pop band from Brussels. They are primitive, demented and existential. Driven by animalistic drums, edgy guitare and a howling voice they'll bite your face off. Expect a stripped down set-up and a raw performance. Released on Kraak records. Recorded and mixed at THE YELLOW TAPE by Peter Van de Veire. Mastered by Frédéric Alstadt.
Ossario Volume I and II
** Edition of 300 copies on opaque white vinyl in printed clear PVC sleeves ** This is a true sensation: a masterful album released as a double 12" (available separately) housed in a silk screened pvc sleeve, on white vinyl; a steely, scratchy looping expansion form the backbone, tension, haunting layers of undertones combined with dark, spectral murmurings...Outstanding! "Through the use of sound generated from modular synthesizer, tapes and samples Nicola Ratti Ossario is a collection of ten …
Dinner / Come on baby / Real man
Shetahr is a three headed trash pop band from Brussels. They are primitive, demented and existential. Driven by animalistic drums, edgy guitare and a howling voice they'll bite your face off. Expect a stripped down set-up and a raw performance. Their First Date is an aggressive take on Beat Happening's legacy, a retarded take on Sabbath's legacy. Factual, geographical, existential lyrics. But no one cares, I don't care, neither do you, you better bang your head. e.g.
Quarry
*Limited to 200 copies* "Quarry is the latest chapter in the ongoing collaboration between the London-based composer-performer of musique concrète Adam Asnan and the Italian sound artist and mastering engineer Giuseppe Ielasi. As the title may suggests, this encounter produced a dusty sculpture whose shape was only drafted immediately after the stone has been excavated from the ground, and where it is hard to distinguish the acousmatic touch of Asnan from the rhythmic textures of Ielasi. "It ven…
Piper
*200 copies limited release* Another stringed drone ritual here - but less choral than the quartet session - where the cello and the harmonium (or the accordion organ) are endlessly chasing each other aiming to the perfect sinergy around the same tune, resulting in a deep and intense meditation practice. Exquisitely mixed and mastered by Jon Wesseltoft in Oslo, 2013. A single nineteen minute track captured live in Oslo, 2010 in the same period of the astonishing Cold Burn LP (Feeding Tube Record…
Huruf Hidup
One half (the vocal force) of Indonesia's Senyawawith a solo release for Morphine. Engineered by Rabih Beaini. Art direction by The Tank Boys.
Physical Point
** Edition of 200 copies ** Lettera 22 is the duo of Matteo Castro and Riccardo Mazza, two main characters in the Italian noise and experimental scene, building incredible collages of field recordings and abused dynamics. The lucky few who attended their live set at the Dome in London for the Broken Flag 30th Anniversary - where they caused a speaker stack to fall over, almost setting fire to it - saw their potential unleashed and knows what we mean by saying that they have an incredible control…
Pointless Vanishing Point
** Edition of 200 copies ** Back on wax after a four-year hiatus, Claudio Rocchetti gives us a one-sider vinyl assembled at home - in Auerstr. 7, Berlin - with the inspiration of the work by Robert Smithson. Including a sample from Trilogie de la Mort by Eliane Radigue and some sounds provided on purpose by Al Doum, Von Tesla and Stefano Pilia, "Pointless Vanishing Point" is a three-parted journey into the recurring environment of awkward sounds and slow frequencies interrupted by a distant soun…
Reelin
Limited edition of 250 copies in a deluxe LP with embossed lettering and printed inner. Giuseppe Ielasi and Nicola Ratti reconvene their wonderfully enigmatic Bellows project with a ghostly album for Entr'acte. 'Reelin'' is the third document of their hardware-honed endeavours, and much like their eponymous debut on Kning Disk and celebrated side for Planam, we're left with little background info other than their equipment list. Navigating between a CDJ/Sony Walkman/Revox A77/Memory Man, they cr…
Dimethyl Atonal Calcine
RESTOCKED, Last copies of this private edition, available from february 2006 and sold at concerts, two unreleased tracks with a distinctive noise feel
Tragic Pote B/W Jerusalem Stone
Aviram Cohen is a jerk. Who cares if he was in SIlk Flowers, Soiled Mattress and The Springs, or that he has a new project called Volunteers Park ? You can tell that his parents are immigrants. He’s a suburbanite from New Jersey, and now, another New Yorker with an attitude, who learned how to use a sequencer to program synths and drum machines, so that he can sing about how boring life can be. It’s like he’s creating all this atmosphere because it’s lacking in his life. It sounds like someone i…
Afternoon Summer Sex
Solo project of long-time superstar Mike Connelly (Wolf Eyes, Hair Police) building the perfect negative of his bands - but still walking a similar path of his bandmates' solo work - trading noise for quiet and jolts for scraping echoes. Afternoon Summer Sex - so far the second LP release by Failing Lights for 2012 - is a black swamp full of analog processing, whirling drones, chiming tones and shrouded electronic crackles. A slow-pace listen of minimal repetiton that gives the idea of an eterna…
Drag It Away
The perfect basement ritual perpetrated by creepy guitars, acoustic drones, echo waves and frying amps that will bring your memory back to the first recordings of LA dungeon pysch trio Robedoor. Previously released as a limited tape by Shawn Reed's Night People, finally this little gem sees again the light on the vinyl format it deserves - in a slightly remastered version - dressed to party in a new cover artwork by Amanda Brown.
Threnody for Marcus Junius Brutus
Atmospheric radical electronics at their highest peak. Key of Shame is the creature born from the collaboration of Mark Morgan (Sightings) and Pat Murano (No Neck Blues Band, Decimus, Malkuth, K. Salvatore) revealing the black side of psychedelics.
This session has been recorded live in the WFMU Studio (engineered by Glenn Luttman) edited by Pat Murano and mastered by Giuseppe Ielasi. A journey through industrial minimalism evolving from bubbling metal drones into indecipherable structures of su…
