The Key (Became the Important Thing [& Then Just Faded Away])
A feverish essay of transcendent drumming: Chris Corsano’ solo approach, rooted in the exploration of elements of extended technique, sought another level, via possibilities facilitated by a self-made string drum! The Key (Became The Important Thing [& Then Just Faded Away]) brings his encompassing focus on free improvisation and noise into a granular fusion with acoustic experiments and hot-wired ideations of hard rock riffing and the post-punk sound.

Babylon Razed
V.II. was founded in 2020 by Austrian artist and musician Florian Emberger. It is originally a one man project which utilizes electronic and experimental instruments as well as voice, to create sonic rituals revolving around visions and dreams. It is a fluctuation between noise and musical structures which lead along the frayed edges of this reality. A very important element is improvisation. The music of V.II. is meant for night and altered states of consciousness. It is also meant to be experi…
Now we are Here
This second volume of solo piano from Grew comes hot on the heels of his 2023 Discus Music release “Chasm”, also for solo piano. For all the brilliance of that earlier work, Grew was keen to push himself even further and engage with a piano and a space with which he was already very familiar – at Lancaster Baptist Church, close to his home in the North West. Grew writes in the sleeve notes: “I have found this instrument a real challenge to play, its action is particularly unyielding, so my effor…

Pieces Pour Serge
*300 copies limited edition* In 2021, Wilfried Wendling offered a 3-day residency to Marion Camy-Palou at the Muse en Circuit (Alfortville / Paris), a working time which then has evolved into a 2-year cruise dedicated to the Serge Modular System (offered by Jean Claude Eloy at the Muse). This search finally resulted in a concert in April 2023, and this record - Deeat Palace's debut album. 'Pièces pour Serge' offers two intense pieces, cut in 45 rpm for vinyl to allow a deeper sonic dive into the…

Hulda
This album is written and recorded on a reed organ with two manuals and pedals. The instrument was built by Alfred Cedergren who was a reed organ builder 1870–1925 in Vänge on the island Gotland, Sweden. During this period of time Hulda Veström lived in the same village. When Hulda was 14 years old she left her mother and sisters to travel to her father in Los Angeles. In spring 1912 she boarded the Titanic together with her aunt, who was also named Hulda. There is a picture of the two Huldas in…

Walze 1-8
*2024 stock* The source material of the compositions are historical recordings made on wax cylinders (German: "Walze") from the archive of the Ethnological Museum in Berlin. The recordings were all made at the beginning of the last century in different parts of the world. For each of my eight pieces I processed the sounds and noises of one wax cylinder using a computer, sometimes modulating them with sine waves (Walzen 3, 4 and8), combining them to new compositions.
I was interested in the inter…
Pochen - Oder : Mit Nachschleifendem Zwirnsfaden Die Treppe Hinunterkollern
*2024 stock* I recorded the sounds for this piece in March 2011 at the "Performance Arts Forum" in France. The PAF is housed in a former convent school, which was built at the end of the 19th Century in the village of St. Erme in Picardy. After the convent school and a hospital during World War I, various temporary uses and a long term of vacancy, the PAF was founded in 2006 as a workplace for artists.
During my three-week stay, I kept sneaking through the 6.400 m2 building: From the attic to th…

: The basic sounds of the piece are sinus waves, digital crackles and white noise. This sounds I played back over different external loudspeakers, which I prepared with resonant objects like tin cans, tubes, wooden boxes to add some natural acoustics.…

Tilt
Limited Edition Half speed mastered at Abbey Road Studios Hype sticker on front of shrink wrap: “140 gram 2LP edition, mastered and cut at 45rpm at Abbey Road Studios”. No pop artist ever had a career remotely like Scott Walker’s. From his first flurry of intense fame as a teen pop crooner who exploded so meteorically in the UK that he was briefly more popular than the Beatles to his latter days as an experimental icon, Walker consistently ducked expectations. Disappearing for years at a time, h…
Moonutatud Muundused / Distorted Conversions
Moonutatud Muundused / Distorted Conversions can be seen as an auditive synthesis of Kris Kuldkepp’s various musical activities over the last few years. Comprising a 40-minute exploration of musical entanglements, the album explores the double bass as a solo instrument with a rich timbre quality guiding the musical journey, being simultaneously not always visible or discernible. The double bass is like a trickster, taking many different forms over the course of the musical journey; its pure deep…

Schwebende Lasten
The basic sounds of the pieces were all created with a Buchla and some with a Serge analog modular synthesizer during my residency at EMS Stockholm, 2013. After this part of the sound creation (and with some files further digital processing), I played the results through different external loudspeakers, which I prepared with resonant objects such as tin cans, tubes, paper, metal plates, wooden boxes or small objects. This mixture of acoustic and electro-acoustic sounds was then re-recorded and a…
