Coagulate
Coagulate is the debut release from electroacoustic improvisation duo Anthony Pateras & Robin Fox. Utilizing a diverse array of approaches and forms, this album presents incredible real-time mutations of acoustic and electronic resources fused by a chaotic and physical improvisational language. From discarded piano frames to feedback to ingested microphones to vintage synthesizers, resources are combined, deconstructed, developed and devastated through both linear and non-linear trajectories. Os…

Tape works
"killer disc of lo-fi tape music & electronic studies from reynols’ Anla Courtis; completely all over the map, from the electric-guitar based musique concrète of “asma de tía de alga” to the almost pietro-grossi-esque bleep-fest of “invisible clown sonata” (what a title!) to the epic closer “encías de viento.” highly recommended." (Mimaroglu)...now back to his real name Alan Courtis, this still comes out under the misspelled Anla Courtis moniker (a slight name change given to him by his former R…
Quatre Poèmes
Four fixed-medium works by Pierre Alexandre Tremblay from 2014 to 2020, conceived as poems rather than chapters: a 28-channel ode to post-industrial northern England, a cycle on defining words, an attempt at mindfulness and a saturated Newsfeed.
Lidingö
2025 stock ** "Lidingö, a summit between innenklavier specialist Andrea Neumann and percussionist Burkhard Beins, is altogether knottier and gnarlier. Part of the important Berlin scene, the two play together in Phosphor as well as with Sven-Åke Johansson. Beins is a masterful player, often eschewing struck percussion in favor of rubbing, stroking, and scraping, only occasionally landing a gargantuan thudding bass drum for example. Neumann uses only the strings, resonating board, and metal frame…
