4 Parabolic Mixes
2CD feat 4 unpublished tracks based on "Parabolic studies" (SR174) the idea was to ask other musicians, of different generations, to attempt a new mix on the basis of these 8 studies: Oval, Main/Robert Hampson, Philip Jeck and Henri Pousseur himself.

Adult Life
This is shining and pure electronic music. adult life continues Carlos Giffoni's work in slow-building drones but he also imbues these new compositions with subtle structure,melodic sequences and blind-siding rhythmic pulses which recall the many pioneers of electronic composition, among them Cluster, Brian Eno, Kraftwerk, and Tangerine Dream.The caustic melding of foreboding abstraction and lively pulse raises adult life to a paradigm of the breathing and the immaculate, a strange set of dichot…
Mauve Dawn
For the past eight years Andrew Paine and Richard Youngs have met on almost every Sunday and recorded music. Mauve Dawn is the result of ten meetings during 2004. Its nine tracks feature processed epinette des vosges, glockenspiel, vintage keyboards and guitars, alongside granularly-synthesized household objects hacked together with resonated voices and filtered bells in a stereo field heavy on ring modulation. One part of the Mauve trilogy, this is an instrumental album of classic length.
s/t
Debut album from the duo of Richard Youngs and Tirath Singh Nirmala (nee John Clyde-Evans) that has the pair creating a bucolic minimalist meditation. Side one interchangeably features hammered strings, gong/cymbal washes, droning vocals, and breathed shackuhachi/flutes. The second side leads with a melodious encounter before delving further into a glimmering psychedelia with sawed strings, fluttering reed organ and electronic drift. The results resemble a non-western approach to traditional mus…
Up The Middle Down The Sides
After some twenty years in the wilderness when Storm Bugs were known only to a handful of aficionados, the DIY electronic duo were rediscovered in 2000 when they were included on the deliciously dodgy but possibly seminal bootleg LP I Hate the Pop Group. A CD of the Bugs finer moments followed shortly after on the reactivated Snatch Tapes label. Another review suggested that.. 'they were spiritual forefathers to Oval and today's Clicks & Cuts generation'. Fusetron are pleased to present a furthe…
(Onkyo Ok)
Dutch sound artist Roel Meelkop has been mining the same territory since the early ’80s, when he started the influential sonic art ensemble THU20. This transitional stage had Meelkop formulating and organizing his ideas on sound and contemplating how best to realize them. But it was only during the mid-’90s, through numerous collaborations with fellow electro-acoustic conspirators, such as Frans De Waard and Peter Duimelinks (who, together with Meelkop, form electronic rhythm group GOEM), along …
Drinking My Own Sperm
Alvaro, born in Chile, went to live to europe in the 70's, there he continued to make music, he even had a band with joe strummer (the clash), he later focused in his solo carrer. This release was his first solo record, mixing some chilean folk with experimental music. the result is a very fresh, original, authentic and energetic album,hard to describe. a must for atipic music lovers.
Smiling Off
The boundary-shattering new single from sonic adventurers Black Dice features a diverse selection of remixes, plus the explosively rhythmic primitivism of the original version. Luomo (aka Finland's Vladislav Delay)transforms the song into a minimal house masterpiece, while the DFA throw down one of their inimitable dancefloor burners, and ZZ Pot (Matt Brinkman of Providence avant-noise conquistadors Forcefield) cooks up a sound collage at once brutal and beautiful. Something for everyone, and es…
Musica Endoscopica
Out now! In its constant pursue of the lost treasures of the Italian avant-garde music, Die Schachtel in collaboration with the University of Padua has recovered from the ashes one of the lost and truly shining diamond of the early electronic/digital scene of the 60s and 70s. After more than two years of painstaking research and audio restoration, Die Schachtel is proud to present a new release dedicated to Teresa Rampazzi, a seminal yet very little known female Italian composer/musician, Fo…
Shlongo!!! DaLUVdrone
CDr edition by the Cortical label itself, budget reissue: long out of print, pure drone nektar by the early Minimalist Charlemagne Palestine who created his composition Shlongo!!!daLUVdrone by inserting pieces of folded paper between the organ keys in order to create sustained resonant over-tones. Palestine's notes from the Beyond the Pink festival program further elucidate this technique, "a continuous vibrating herd of organ pipes in big resonant cathedral was the basic premise for meditative …
Casa
Titled 'casa', it finds capece and Merce performing two pieces of impressive construction as well as astonishing clarity. Both players are very active in the international scene of electro-acoustic improvisation (& beyond), Merce in Argentina & capece in myriad projects in Europe and elsewhere. This recording marks a homecoming of shorts for capece (or a re-union without a real break-up) and sees the two musicians taking the skills they've built within their various collaborative projects and us…
Labyrinthitis
Jacob Kirkegaard has turned his ears inwards: His new work labyrinthitis is an interactive sound piece that consists entirely of sounds generated in the artist's auditory organs and will cause audible responses in those of the audience. labyrinthitis relies on a principle employed both in medical science and musical practice: When two frequencies at a certain ratio are played into the ear, additional vibrations in the inner ear will produce a third frequency. This frequency is generated by the e…
Drink Deep
Limited edition: 300. 'In the mid-1980's, Rites of Spring emerged from the thriving music community that was centered around Dischord Records in Washington DC. Their sound was raw, dense and emotional. It provided a soundtrack to a generation of veteran punks for whom introspection and renewal were increasingly necessary tools in the ongoing (re)construction of personal and political defiance. drink_deep marks an effort to bridge the two distinct but inter-related milieus of the 80's Dischord er…

Cedric Pigot is a French installation - sound-artist, responsible for a wide range in soundtracks for performances, films and installations. His work on itself shows a very thick and layered wall of sound in which tiny but detailed happenings and transitions occur. You could call his sound rythmical because of repetitive elements, coming from short pulses and loops, popping and ticking up in the well-filled soup of noises. You could also call his sound soundscapish, because of the long stretched…
