Inwards Opened The Floor.
The Israeli/British collective Staraya Derevnya made an album of pure psychedelic experimentation recorded in the performance space at Cafe Oto.  Staraya Derevnya are the Tel Aviv/London based collective that are paving their own path through the world of experimental sound. The band, named after a historic district in Saint Petersberg, certainly cannot be pigeon-holed into a geographical generalisation. The lyrics on the album are directly influenced by the Saint Petersburg poet and artist Arth…
Scribble
* Edition of 100 * 'Scribble' is truly a befitting name for this collection of miniatures created by composer and sound designer Jacob Sachs-Mishalanie. Recorded at his home this past Summer, the short, sweet pieces really are like aural scribbles in a notebook. Slightly chaotic and seemingly unintentional, the 7 tracks exhibit a childlike wonder, a fascination with how various sounds or rhythms work (or don’t work) in tandem. At the time of writing, Sachs-Mishalanie was particularly interested …
Listen (Hear) Look (See)
Another "surprise" box especially conceived and made for our "sound-related" series. The reflection made by If, Bwana/Al Margolis (as the two faces of the same artist) are upon the concept of communication in art. What is the role of the artist and what is the role of the spectator? Is any interpretation of art valid? Is it possible to have a direct communication between the act of creation and the act of seeing/listening?Each boxset in this series of 50 is absolutely unique, containing differen…
Processione sul Mare
A stunning artefact from 1970s Italian scene, this first ever vinyl reissue of Toni Esposito’s incredible and sinfully overlooked 1976 LP, "Processione sul Mare", ripples with mind-blowing polyrhythms and genre-defiant tonal interventions, as it intertwines the ecstatic with free-flowing jazz, prog-rock, and experimental gestures. A true revelation rescued from depths of obscurity by a visionary artist who worked with everyone from Luciano Cilio to Don Cherry, it can’t be missed.
Livebatts!
Livebatts! is the result of the eclectic approach to music and sound of John White, the experimental composer better known for his early work with Cornelius Cardew and the Scratch Orchestra and for his formidable output of piano sonatas (now counting almost to 200).Everything started out from his passion for those cheap battery driven keyboards which appeared on the market of musical instruments in the 80s. Much more similar to toys than to proper instruments, these did interested so much Mr. Wh…
Gamelan Coming & Going
Recorded in 1985, this long piece, unpublished until now, belongs to the Gamelan series, which Philip Corner has worked for years and counting dozens of pieces. In the word of the author, the piece, for two pianists "...represents one of the most “curious” manifestation in the Gamelan series. The increment-link, high-to-low, is maintained on the chromatic scale of the piano keyboard, giving durations from 1 to 88. However they are realized in both directions at the same time. And counted out lou…
L'Ombra di Mezzogiorno
An extended voice album by Enomìsossab (or, vice versa, Simone Basso) suspended between rock and experimentation, between popular culture and avant-garde roots, to testify of a complex artistic personality and of a “physical” and “emotional” attitude, absolutely uncommon. Overtone chant, guttural sounds, linguistic deformations, the “calembour” and the vocal contortions.Sometimes few notes or a little melody are enough to fell in love with an artist. Sometimes you need to search, to go deep in t…
Fire Chorus
Fire Chorus is a work of “construction”. If, Bwana (alias, or, as you prefer, “personification”, of Al Margolis), presents a sound form starting from the concept of “perception”. His concept of electroacoustic music doesn’t belong to the idea of “appropriation” (which is behind the gestures of many people now working with natural, non-musical, or “other” sound sources). If, Bwana uses his raw materials as animated objects,letting them appear and disappear in his own sound structures. He creates …
Tapestries
Hugh Davies was one of the masters of contemporary experimental music. His tireless search for musical invention and his historical accuracy led him to explore different fields in music. This one is a selection of his lesser known electronic pieces, that he choose to represent his own approach to the matter. Now that he’s not more with us this collection remains as an outstanding picture of his creativity in music. In the broader sense, as he was used to do.   16 pages booklet with liner notes b…
Brdo
Limited Edition of 100 copies. It started again the CDR series, with a historical name of the ANTS catalog: Albert Mayr. This work dates back, like the previous "Suono Ambiente" of the same series, to 1978.A research project on a hypothesis of a "community rhythm" well described by Gillo Dorfles in his notes of the time:"The time-space musical analysis performed by Albert Mayr in February 1978 in the tiny village of Brdo, in Istria, is the result of long meditations and deep practical experiment…
Hora Harmonica
"Hora Harmonica," realized in 1983 at the Pietro Grossi S 2F M (Studio di fonologia musicale di Firenze), is not a proper piece of music, but conceptual art inspired by the physics of sound. Albert Mayr proposes a harmonic clock, a model of non-linear time.. “When we slow down a sound many times, all the way below 15 cps approximately, we perceive as a series of discrete pulses. In a physical sense it remains a sound, but not for human perception. Try now to imagine an extremely slow 'sound' whe…
The "Bayan Mongol" Variety Group (Эстрадын “Баян Монгол” Чуулга)
The Bayan Mongol Variety Group existed from the early ’70s to the late ’80s. After the collapse of the USSR, the ensemble began to experience serious difficulties with funding and booking concerts, and finally disintegrated, after which the participants lost contact with each other. Fortunately, thanks to efforts from the fans, some old contacts were reestablished, key records and sound sources were dug up, and now this historical record is released again. File under funk, jazz rock, prog rock, …

Time of Hayfield
Time of Hayfied represents a thematic shift away from more long-form and slowly developing pieces Andrew Chalk is known for prior to this and also especially in his work with Mirror (1999-2004). It is the stepping stones between two worlds and is still steeped in foggy textural atmospheres, but as though pierced by sunlight through a forest canopy, where melodies and harmonic structures appear and dart through the vignettes. There is a sense of lost golden summers and all is enhanced by the narr…
