Flaw Games
Bolide is an electro-acoustic improvising unit, formed in Brighton, UK, in 2007. Originally coming together under the name Bolide Awkwardstra, the group's inaugural performance was at the Colour Out of Space festival in 2007, followed by a show in a local park playing a soundtrack to an infants' football match. Ever since, Bolide have oscillated between these giddy poles. Somewhere along the way, it was decided that awkwardness and sketchy puns should no longer be a barrier to progress.
Outside
Groupe Derhane - Imidrane : Issouf, known as Issouf Derhane, was born in the peaceful village of Tidene almost a hundred kilometers northeast of Agadez. From a young age, Issouf was called by the desert winds, which carried him to Libya, a country where he grew up, forged by the trials and unique experiences of life. There, he witnessed the tumult of the civil war, an experience that sharpened his resolve and his understanding of peace. In Libya, he discovered the guitar, an instrument which qui…

1973/1975
I met drummer Gary Torok in June ’74. We got together and jammed on Uriah Heep and Santana. Me, him, and his younger brother Peter on bass played my high school in January ’75. “Ready Eddie” is truly about Stenson Eddie Flowers coz he “loves that Southern bop.” The chords are “Brown Sugar” (’71) and Ten Years After’s “Choo Choo Mama” (’72). Let’s say “Ready Eddie” is Nixon-era rock. I met fanzine writer Scott Duhamel August ’74, so I musta said, “Have your poems set to my music.” Wrote “Juvenile…
Tentatively Terminal 1977-1978
In the fall of 1972 my brother Daryl Frazier [a/k/a Billy Nightshade] started school at Bemidji State College in northern Minnesota. I was 11 years old and Daryl was 18. Every weekend he would come home and bring me amazing used records of rock and roll bands. His good friend Gary Zerott from BSC knew music inside out, and turned Daryl on to all kinds of brilliant artists! Kinks, Bowie, Alice Cooper, Stooges, MC5, Patti Smith, Velvet Underground, Slade, Deep Purple...the heavier the better. Back…
Transportées
300 copies. Marie Guérin (aka Marie de la Nuit, meaning Marie of the Night) is a sound artist. Since 2001, she has been manipulating field recordings, radio archives, traces left on the airwaves by "hertzian ghosts". A mixture of voices, textures, grains, anecdotal sounds, her work questions the sound heritage, its supports and the traces left on these supports; her music passes from radiophonic grammar to music. --- "Transportées is an electroacoustic work. From archaic to electronic trance, a …

Dead Can Dance
The uncompromising eponymous debut, Dead Can Dance, harnessed a bewitching barrage of sounds (including the distinct sound of the yangqin) with the then five-piece interchanging instruments to leave the vocals of Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry as the only constant. The album’s cover was important as an introduction too, a Papua New Guinean mask that some believe when worn, a life force can be put into the inanimate wood - the dead can dance.
Music Belongs To The Universe
For Nico Georis, music is a lot like nature: you may actively confront it, or just let yourself channel it. Music Belongs To The Universe, his latest offering, to be released April 4th on Leaving Records, is a searching collection of improvisatory, open-ended piano and keyboard experimentation. Threading the line between pastoral melody and desert minimalism, it rings out and warbles, crafting sounds as spacious as the landscapes from which it was conjured. Recorded between 2021 and 2023, Music …
Borrowed Out Of Time
*150 copies limited release* "Borrowed Out Of Time is the latest album by Kaurna Country artist and writer, Tristan Louth-Robins. It follows a steadily paced run of releases for labels like 3LEAVES (2013’s The Path Described) and his own Studio Maurilia which share an inquisitive spirit, informed by, but different from, influences such as Alvin Lucier and Rolf Julius. While Tristan’s compositions might be neatly situated somewhere adjacent to both sound art and acoustic ecology, they aren’t beho…
Last Blues
*150 copies limited release* "A mysterious folio of sonic snapshots, as much recaptured as composed, by Jon Dale’s project, Moth, in Adelaide in the late ’90s and early ’00s.
From the ready means of guitar, amp, and tape, a congruous but diverse selection of unnamed tracks emerge - musical moments borrowed from oblivion with the as yet unfulfilled good intention of returning them. Their sounds evoke abstract polaroids of winter seascapes flecked with spare, brittle detail, or the scaly-winged fl…
Untitled
This is the last of the A.B.O. material. Probably recorded in 1991, certainly mixed in 2024.
No Rain
Reissue of the cursed Dustbreeders album “No Rain", old songs (1990 - 1997) recorded on 4 tracks, summer 97 (except 5). The most misleading title in the history of record titles, when you know where these people come from cassette format to keep up with the times artefact farewell to their no wave destruction derby period zombified rock, first platinum emotions, illicit mise en abyme saved from oblivion for the good of humanity by Tanzprocesz and Fougère.
