5 Pieces
Jacob Kirkegaard is a Danish sound artist residing in Berlin. With an impressive resume that ranges from collaborations with Else Marie Pade to presentations at New York's Museum of Modern Art and an extensive recording career, he should need little to no introduction. Kirkegaard's first major retrospective solo exhibition opens at The Museum of Contemporary Art in Roskilde, Denmark, on January 30, 2015. In relation to this event Posh Isolation is proud to present a triple-cassette album co…
Svaevninger
Much-needed CD edition of the sold-out LP. Includes a beautiful 15-minute bonus track not included on the LP release. Else Marie Pade (born December 2, 1924 in Aarhus) is a Danish composer who pioneered electronic and concrète music in Denmark beginning in 1954. Pade was active in the resistance movement during the Second World War, and was interned at the Frøslev prison camp from 1944 until the end of the war. An archival collection of Else Marie Pade's electronic work is now available on …
Golden Ratio
Volume six in our Required Wreckers LP series, M Dwinell’s Golden Ratio offers the only documentation of Dwinell’s Just Intonation organ work. These pieces provide a pivotal shift away from his earlier Kraut-inspired rockbased improvisation with Boston’s Bright in the direction of his recent electronic-based compositional work with Brooklyn’s Forma (Spectrum Spools). Unlike either of these projects, however Golden Ratio focuses exclusively on a natural tuning system generated from the harmoni…
Sonic Blue
...Outstanding!! Shaping the the sonic topography of the Norway’s northern sea with an enigmatic mixture of field recordings, manipulated sounds and other sonic debris, Angelica Castello has completed her best work to date. In 2013, on the Lofoten archipelago, an island chain along Norway’s northern coastline, Angelica Castello met the biologist and bioacoustics researcher Heike Vester, who founded the organization Ocean Sounds in a fishing village named Henningsvær. Heike led Angelica to t…
Object Relations #1
Object Relations is a very promising new 7" label curated by Mark Fell focusing on collaborations between diverse artistic practices. Recorded in Milan, 2014, the label's inaugural edition establishes its remit in a unique combination of Fell's crafty Linndrum programming with the adroit, keening cello improvisation of trained cellist and composer Sandro Mussida, following their meeting and performance in Tuscany at the International Encounters in Sound event. On both sides, Fell's ellipti…
Back In
Edition of 300 copies pressed on transparent red vinyl. Dominick Fernow’s Bed of Nails label returns with its first release in a while - a new 5-track EP from New York stalwart K.P aka Dual Action. These machine tools spoil for the 'floor, acting as a follow-up of sorts to the excellent, blink-and-miss 'Babe' cassette and Avian's vinyl reissue of 'Auto Body’, providing some proper club weight across four precision-sharpened pounders and one incredible noise construct. Fixing glassy chimes…
Hallucinogenic Doom Steppy Verbs
Mastered by Matt "The Alchemist" Colton and sleeved in Diagonal disco 'jak-it'** Japanese techno tearaway Kouhei Matsunaga aka NHK gets lively on a killer, 5-track, 26 minute debut for Diagonal. Viewing classic dance tropes askance, 'Hallucinogenic Doom Steppy Verbs' follows his trio of 'Dance Classics' volumes for PAN thanks to a keener, almost aggressive thrust/lust for the 'floor, chucking up buckled variants of tech-step, acid, and garage-techno in the process. Making up for lost time…
Fresh Insights EP 2
DJ Sprinkles serves alternate, killer mixes of his massive 'Fresh Insights' session with Mark Fell (and Tony Benn). The future-classic B-side, 'Fresh' is given a slinkier rub-down by the Tokyo-based artist, propping *that* rousing speech by Socialist firebrand Tony Benn on a subtly reshuffled groove that surely marks up as one of the biggest deep house curveballs since, oh, at least their 'Complete Spiral' EP starring Arthur Scargill in 2012. Flipside, 'Insights' is also given the alterna…
A Year With 13 Moons
A master of romantic abstraction, Jefre Cantu–Ledesma is not new to the scene. In fact, he’s been releasing a steady stream of music for nearly twenty years. With the brilliant album A Year With 13 Moons, however, the ever–prolific Ledesma appears to be hitting a new high. Or low, depending on how you like to see things. More on that later. First, some background. Born & raised in Texas, Ledesma’s formative artistic years were spent studying painting & sculpture in San Francisco. He bega…
Thermal
Mario De Vega, Mexican artist living in Berlin, focuses his research on natural vibrations using the resonance frequencies of the space. Thermal is part of an ongoing project around the idea of vulnerability, the molecular excitation, receiving high frequency and amplification of electromagnetic phenomena. Mario De Vega (Mexico City, 1979) : De Vega constructs systems and situations that investigate connections between the living and the inert, exploring space and time in terms of both perform…
Cores / Eruct
"In Coppice we create a nexus of integrated forms connected by our primary focus on sound, audio, and music. Cores/Eruct is an album about «what is kept in.» The five tracks are compositions dated between 2009-2012.In them we’ve intertwined instrumental interaction with electromagnetic interference through structuralist constraints to form complex timbral horizons that engorge, tip and hemorrhage. The instruments heard are prepared pump organ (Kinder), shruti box, funnels, tape processors…
July 18, 2004
10th anniversary of the first recording coming to vinyl. Recorded live, direct to reel-to-reel on July 18, 2004 at Infrasonic Sound Studios in Los Angeles. The first official recording, music performed was purely improvisational. This recording was Justin Wright, Paul Kneeje (Kill Shaman label, Bipolar Bear, German Army) and Bryan Levine (Kill Shaman label). This trio also performed The Smell in Los Angeles shortly after this recording. 180 gram pressing, limited white vinyl in an edition …
Sarava Exu
In contrast with the continual pursuit of achievement, that today's culture teaches us, the theme of Descent, found in many myths in the shape of the hero going underground to pass a period of solitude, is no longer represented. A cultural space existed in most traditional societies for such a period in a person's life and it was seen as necessary in order for the initiate to re-connect with their past and concomitantly with his collective unconscious, or humanity’s primordial existence. …
Deterrence
A year before exploding onto the electronic music scene in 2011with the critically acclaimed Progress Chance, Ricardo Donoso's debut release "Deterrence" was issued as an extremely limited cassette edition - a through-composed ambient piece, "Deterrence" is stripped of all the rhythmic flux which he has become known for. Considered by many in underground circles to be a true masterwork of the Dark Ambient genre, "Deterrence" is often times compared to works by artists such as Lustmord, Bi…
Quasar <-> Lanterns
Sergei Tcherepnin's "Quasar <-> Lanterns" was originally produced in 2009 as an 8-channel installation with Ei Arakawa at Künstlerhaus Stuttgart. Remixed to stereo for this release, Tcherepnin's trio of works combine analog synthesizer recordings and other instrumental sources with field recordings captured during the artists' travels to Turkey and Georgia. Each piece introduces a separate facet of Tcherepnin's compositional practice, respectively probing the boundaries between perception/halluc…
The Hant Variance
Sabisha Friedberg's double LP "The Hant Variance" was recorded at EMPAC with Peter Edwards in a custom-tuned environment using advanced multi-channel recording techniques to capture a configuration of spatialized sound sources. Combining granular synthesis, analogue synthesizers, tone oscillators and field recordings, the composition is comprised of three movements. The low-end bass, which was recorded live with a subwoofer configuration that allowed for rapid directional shifts, serves a…
Theory Of Machines
2014 repress, originally released in 2007. Includes mp3 download. This is Reykjavik-based composer/producer Ben Frost's first release for the Icelandic Bedroom Community label. From the ominous darkness and intensity of its opening moments, one might expect a death metal album to break out in an instant, but Theory Of Machines is an album whose design is as symphonic as it is confrontational -- the tempo doesn't pick up, no hooks or vocals arrive, and when the drums finally kick in, they're…
The Summoner
LP version; presented in a laser-cut full color bronze and black sleeve with full color insert. Includes download code. The Summoner comes four years after the last Kreng album Grimoire (MIA 016CD/LP) and three years after the massive retrospective box set Works for Abattoir Fermé 2007-2011. A lot has happened in the interim, and The Summoner can be seen as quite the departure from the aforementioned works. Pepijn Caudron's most personal album to date, The Summoner was created after a year in wh…
Electronic Music
"Electronic Music" is a meticulously crafted work of avant-garde electronics with attention towards unique timbres and acoustics. Spyros' previous releases can be found on labels Room40 and Senufo Editions among others.
Open Like a Flute
Finally!!!! Here it is, in stock. This double album is a combination of two Ariel Kalma releases under the same name ‘Open Like a Flute’: the original Astral Muse cassette released in Canada 1982, and the Nightingale cassette from 1984, recorded from 1981 to 1984 in Montreal, Paris and Hamburg.
For these records, Ariel converted his 1/4’’ analog tape masters from the 80’s to 24bit digital tracks. Ah, the analog warmth! Released just after his classic album ‘Osmose’, these tapes are a perfe…
