Aprirsi nel silenzio
Finally restocked, very last copies around...Just say the Hystory of the industrial avantgarde in Italy, since 1981 - Originally recorded in 1984, tasaday's aprirsi nel silenzio (do bloom in the silence) was reissued by wallace records in 2000. The genre of this album: underground classical. Technically, it seems like tasaday wrote this album as a soundtrack to a really bad nightmare, so anguished that the album would probably fit well with a viewing of eraserhead. To create this, they play a mi…
Stage
Stage is Steinbrüchel’s second full-length solo release on LINE. The album contains 10 scenes that move between warm organic and melodic digitalised sounds and cold crystalline-like sparks. The sounds and compositions are even more detailed and have a more melodic approach then previous recordings by Steinbrüchel. Single isolated and stretched tones are structured together with smaller loops and particles of clicks and noises into dense atmospheres. Parts of the sounds used in several scenes are…
Perpetuum Mobile
estocked, reduced price: Perpetuum Mobile is the result of a uniquely schizophrenic 'open source' compositional process: the UK's finest collage composers (collage-posers?) Ergo Phizmiz and People Like Us (aka Vicki Bennett) uploaded files to a shared server, downloaded and processed each other's work, and flung the resulting fragments back at each other. The result is an interpenetrating audio-collage so intricate that neither party can recall who did what to whom. So far, so avant-garde; but w…
Variations For Piano & Tape
Comprised of one 44 minute track, Variation #9 'Pantelleria,' this archival release is one of my all-time favorites of the piano and tape variations from the early eighties. Using a lilting piano melody on a small loop, the requisite magic happened in the recording process when this particular loop would randomly slip along the play head revealing an extraordinary counterpoint (in reverse) on the other side of the tape. To me, this piece evokes a lazy Arcandian summer idyll, and will alwa…

Sonic Messenger
Limited ed. of 400 copies with a bonus album of music packaged in a custom designed full color gatefold case with a mounted 12 page booklet of bonus artwork. What if the Voyager space craft became sentient? Would it destroy humanity? Who is to say it wouldn’t become the most far-out musician of the galaxy? Expo ‘70’s sonic reach seems to extend past even the concept of space/time itself. One Eno Eon past normal, the patter of Expo ‘70’s dark matter squeaks and moans in wave forms, like the Dopp…
Til odslig horisont
Til odslig horisont evolves slowly and quietly over forty-five minutes and rewards the listener's attention with a great listening experience, manifold soundscapes and atmospheres melting into one another. As often, describing this work will not do it justice, and so I propose that you make yourself comfortable, close your eyes and simply listen. You will enjoy it without an eloquent description.'B. Günter
Percussion Ensemble
Jarrod Fowler is a percussionist from Massachusetts, USA. ‘Percussion Ensemble’ is a non-musical rhythmsystemic aggregate ready-made from percussive dialectical composites of “experimental percussion music”.

Zweifarbige Gesten
Beautiful debut full-length album for Jennifer Veillerobe, a french-german musician, co-curator of senufo editions and one half of ‘eselsohr ’. The CD is centered around a minimal sequence of sonic events, alternating between modular synthesizer patterns / textures and simple acoustic gestures captured with a portable digital recorder. realised without any processing or overdubbing; the cd is an attempt to define a narrative using nothing but sharp edits and careful sequencing of non-homogeneous…
Circulations
Circulations is an impressive hourlong electro-acoustic work by composer Pierre-Yves Macé and his second album (after a lukewarm debut released on Tzadik). Making the best of a residency at Euphonia (Marseille), he first wrote four solo pieces for percussion, electric guitar, harp, and clarinet. At Euphonia, he rehearsed these solos with musicians Frédéric Doumas, Rémy Décrouy, Rafaëlle Rinaudo, and Agathe Fourneau (respectively) and recorded them. Then, Macé composed a tape part for each solo, …
Phantom Broadcast
Following the records made in collaboration with Francisco López and the instrumental ensemble Zeitkratzer, John Duncan returns to solo work and to exploring further the sound source he's always preferred, shortwave. We know nothing about the actual radio transmission that Duncan picked up on 18 April 2002 in the course of a single recording that gave life to this work. Only shadows remain, taking on the aspect of bells, resonating into infinity, together with reverberations and apparent choruse…

Blue eyes of the march
New gatefold handmade cover. 500 copies. "There's an amazing attention to aesthetics that Andrew Chalk undeniably pays for each release with his name on it. It starts with the music and continues through the cover artwork, packaging, and presentation. The first part of Blue Eyes of the March is a 20 minute long piece which sounds like it was created by a prepared guitar, tuned only to play a limited number of pre-determined notes as they're quietly plucked and resonate for long stretches. The to…
Inhumane Humans
Novi_sad is the guise for Thanasis Kaproulias (b. 1980) who holds a degree from the Economic University of Piraues. He lives and works in Athens, Greece. Influenced by the pioneers of audio assault, he began generating sounds in 2005. No studies, no academic education, no scholarships, just pure learning by doing. Amplified environmental recordings, drone manipulations, structured ambient soundscapes, microtones vs overtones, all come together in a hyper structure of iconoclastic form. Novi_s…
