The Journey Like Never Before
2008 release ** "The atmosphere ranges from ambient, meditation and transcendence to sound experiments and rhythmic madness. A clash of acoustic explorations by the Hati group with modern, rhythmic electronics by Lal (2nd Hand Beatnix, Wiedźmin). This is one of the most electronic projects ever realized by Hati, which – as a band that performs a lot – uses mainly acoustic instruments."

Discordes
2017 release ** "This duo started in 2014 with the idea to transform the acoustic instrument into a real electroacoustic one. Transducers, springs and microphones are attached to the cello which is then processed through electronic and tape. This CD comes from several hours of improvisations recorded in studio and reorganised to build six pieces of abstract electroacoustic music. "
Cidar (Redux)
Since 1992, Robin Storey (founding member of the pioneering post-industrial band Zoviet*France) has been creating innovative and thought-provoking music under the Rapoon moniker. Drawing inspiration from his early days with Z*F, he continues to push the boundaries of ambient, industrial, and world music genres, earning him a dedicated following across the globe.

Purr
2006 release ** "All tracks on Purr have originally been composed for choreography. Laurent Perrier, the mastermind behind Zonk t, has reconstructed the tracks for his third release to make it a coherent album to listen to. And he definitely succeeded in that. The musical outbursts of the Frenchman are very minimalistic and could best be categorized as ambient. The fact that he uses only minimal sources and sounds for his creations doesn t mean that the tracks are boring, predictable or easy. O…
The Myth Of Meat
2008 release ** "Schloss Tegal's The Myth of Meat is an intense exploration of the darker aspects of human nature, released on the band's own Tegal Records label. This sonic experience delves deep into the themes of cannibalism and meat consumption, using them as metaphors to reflect the violent tendencies of the human race. The album's unsettling atmosphere pushes the boundaries of dark ambient and industrial music, creating a visceral and unnerving soundscape. With disturbing imagery and extr…
Lingk

Humus - Musiques Immobiles 5-15
2004 release ** "With his 8th solo album, French composer Laurent Pernice presents the pure electronic music, providing fresh views for academic avantgarde, from the different sides of microtonal music, reductive minimalism and other methods of digital decomposition. Ever since his first album (Details, 1988), Pernice has been collecting certain sounds which came into being all on their own, so to speak, the haphazard result of certain manipulations. By letting them run free, he realised that t…
Z
2015 release ** "As Cummi Flu, Doerell mainly does sound design. There is not a sound on Z that has been included by chance. Each acoustic event has been painstakingly carved, demonstrating its creator's attention to detail. The squeak of a computer, the sound of a door shutting, the drawn-out hum of a cello -- everything here is of equal importance, positioned democratically side by side. Each track feeds on a wide variety of sound sources. And even when there is a lot going on, there is immen…
Recon
2012 release ** "Eventless Plot is a trio from Thessaloniki, Greece. They borrow elements from different genres and aesthetics to build their own hybrid of sound. From free impro and noise to new electronica, electroacoustic composition and jazz, their music remains always unconventional and contemporary. They are experimenting with a variety of instruments, analog sources, field recordings and Max/Msp patches."

2005 release ** "The glitch isn't going to go away. Despite occasional predictions by those in the electronic community that the musical devices of tiny clicks, pops and 'stuck CD' effects - pioneered by the likes of Autechre, Matmos, Fennesz, Raster-Noton and Oval - are just a passing trend, these techniques seem to have ensconced themselves as an established feature of the musical landscape. Perhaps one reason for the longevity of these software-driven effects is that they provide an extremel…
Legionowo
