Dogs in English porcelain
Dogs in English Porcelain (Vanessa Rossetto's fourth solo album on the label) is a composition for electronics, field recordings, viola, violin, cello and acoustic turntable. It was created with many layers of very quiet elements that advance and recede, forming the episodic structure of the piece. The overlapping of electronic and environmental sounds with extended technique and traditional playing disturbs the boundaries separating the natural and artificial, the intentional and the incidental…

Precursor (From 1977) of all New York No Wave groups, they were also famous in the art of performance, pictural arts and teXts. On this mini-CD, they leave a little the industrial kind of music they played before to eXplore more classical roots and put the uneasy singer's voice forward. A less violent but deeper work.' Last copies.
Untitled
their first EP released in France in 1979, a "seminal no wave classic"; in the words of jordan n. mamone: "brutal outbursts of feedback-and-blare emitted by the late bruce wisiepe remain perhaps the most underrated and unknown influences in underground rock.”

Hard Knox
To quickly address the elephant in the room -- certainly, collections of demos, outtakes and home recordings are mostly bogus, but obviously you're reading this, so obviously I've somehow been coerced into releasing this batch of tunes, and you've bought it or stolen it or borrowed it or gotten a promo or whatever, so let's cut to the chase. In my defense, all of the cuts contained herein are 'songs' in the traditional western sense -- my experiments in 'surf harmonica' and 'doom zydeco' will no…
Rocky Mountain Low

Like countless music scenes of the time, we had our own versions of the Stooges, the Velvet Underground, Buzzcocks, X-Ray Spex and others. And while locals like the He…
