Moving Parts
Performer, sculptor, and sound artist Christian Marclay has been experimenting with phonograph records and turntables, applying the constructs of hip-hop to avant-garde sound art deconstruction since 1979. Having teamed up with Japanese turntablist and guitar player Otomo Yoshihide for their collaboration Moving Parts, the two continue in their ongoing quest to evolve music and sound far beyond anything that is even remotely accessible to a mainstream audience. Moving Parts is a ravenous bricola…

Songs for Europe is the highly anticipated recording by two of the most respected names in experimental music. Philip Jeck and Janek Schaefer are best known for their work using vinyl and record players in creative ways through performance and installation.

As an architect turned sound artist, Janek has always been i…

Schwarzschild Radius
The return by FIVE THOUSAND SPIRITS Schwarzschild Radius CD, second part of a series, it is an unbroken journey of great intensity that Raffaele Serra ed Alio Die have characterized with an electronic refine touch and a flood vitality, always at the threshold of a mystery's whirlpool, an electronic mantra that in these lands have already given some kind of dependance. Great second chapter after the great 'Quantum Consciousness'.
Quantum Consciousness
After seven years of silence they are heard again. Raffaele Serra and Alio Die's Quantum Consciousness is an mysterious electronic journey (5 tracks without interruption) that, though still ambient music, comes close to '70s-era electronic cosmic music. An unbroken journey of great intensity characterized with an electronic refined touch and a flood- like vitality, always at the threshold of mystery's whirlpool. Powerful electronic mantras that in these lands have already given some kind of eart…
Copula
A collaboration project between Die Sonne Satan & Runes Order. Dark atmospheres and death ambient, remember the cold swedish scene...
Intangible Opacity
Intangible Opacity dares to visit the place where the Earth’s
atmosphere ends and the infinity of space begins, following the physical
and chemical processes that occur in the ionosphere. The sound is based
on warm but at the same time somehow distanced synthetic textures, and
classical “el-music”.
Gino Fioravanti, alias Aglaia, that with each new release continues to
expand their vocabulary and to enriches its palette of sounds and
colors. The immersive power of this work has reached the …

Nosesoul - Angel Ghost and Human Shades
Ambient experimental sounds combining the 'Francesco' voices with improvisational programming from Opium. Francesco Paladino here provides vocalisations that range from moans, whines and nasal tones through to various mutterings and mournings. Teo Zini or Opium surrounds these utterances with layers of ambient electronic texture and processed 'wave editings'. The resultant sound is a mysterious organic sound installation that is suggestive of various dreamstates - jangling bells, buzzing flies, …
Aqua Planing
In the enigmatic Aqua Planing, Werner Durand and Alio Die create a sonorous, powerful, impervious space; sometimes liquid, subtly endearing. A meeting of mysterious sounds, both improvised and organised, of the traditional and self-made wind- instruments and their hybrids by Werner Durand (persian and circular water ney, circular clarinet, khen, prepared shakuhachi) with the editing, loops and enviromental recordings by Alio Die. As in the title track, where they recorded the sound of the wind…
The Sleep of Seeds
The title is also the opening track of this macroscopic journey into a world which spontaneously engages us when we travel through it. A link between life and earth, a passageway between time and change. A melodius itinerary in which a time hourglass often makes no sense but only the sound of articulated and fragmentary notes... 50 minutes between a seed and a grain of soil to wander into an infinite space while listening to a far away earth longing sound. Recorded in Savona Italy august 2002,…
Sunja
Magic has blown its precious spores in the air. A human rite, humble and quiet, has evoked a red hot globe that gently illuminates the path toward the borders of Sunja, the dream place where all vibrations start. Sometimes the light comes down from the sky, clear like a crystal. Sometimes it climbs slowly from the earth's depths, but it's always comforting. Crossing the thresholds of Sunja is like landing on an uncontaminated island, furrow its white sea-shores lapped by tepid foamy waters, bee…

Descent
A meditative obscure travel with acoustic and electronic treated sounds. First solo album from a member of Tuu and Stillpoint project.
Rosea
The back cover of the album sums it up: "music is difficult to describe, but surely full of Elves and Gnomes!" And that it is... subterranean drippings, disembodied cackles and the slow dragging of concrete . Behind it all, a pensive score of shimmering and hesitating to reveal itself too much for fear of scaring its hosts. A low, sparse cacaphony of the Old Country, drawn from times long before it was paved over for easy transit. Ora albums are rather obscure, so best of fortune in your own sy…

Esperanto
"Esperanto" is the multi-lingual voice of technology, a suspension of sounds based in research : a chaos of signs overwhelmed by sonic devices...New sound manipulator Duozero takes atmospheres and sound structures, twisting them into a blasphemous aural ecstacy of concrete music, unconscious field recordings and machine connections...
