2014 release ** "A few months after his self-titled album, he returns with another great work. The 2014 album was the one of full manifestation, this one, the one of explosion. Faced with such a "hunger to express," there's never a lack of substance and intensity, at most a few flaws in the aesthetic organization of a project, which is more evident here than in his previous work, but it's something that makes both works, in different ways, perfectible in each individual's mind and therefore all …

2014 release ** "Fifth studio album and year zero for Paolo Saporiti. An absolute masterpiece, a near-perfect album, the epitome of the most cultured Italian independent rock, but also, and above all, something new and focused. The lyrics, for the first time, are in Italian, exposing veins, nerves, and blood. On the cover, Paolo, a mere child, stands with his father. From the opening of "Come Venire al Mondo" to the absolute perfection of "Io non ho pietà," which seems to evoke the best of Alice…

2005 release ** Arte Quartett: Beat Hofstetter, soprano saxophone; Sascha Armbruster, alto saxophone; Andrea Formenti, tenor saxophone; Beat Kappeler, baritone saxophone Terry Riley, vocals, piano and harpsichord (Uncle Jard) A free spirit, maverick par excellence, creator of a personal compositional style that has spawned entire generations of epigones, Terry Riley (b 1935) embodies the best aspects of the American pioneer spirit, the positive and uncorrupted image of America (and California in…

In his third and final album, recorded ahead of the publication of his novel, Doctor Sax, Jack Kerouac uses his voice as an instrument, weaving his words inside of patterns and percussive accents the way a horn player solos over the changes of a well-known standard. The set is presented with an immense focus and energy to keep the listener engaged for a full 40 minutes. The Verve By Request Series features 180-gram vinyl, pressed at Third Man in Detroit.

Limited repress. "The first vinyl release of Charlemagne Palestine's Godbear, a 1987 solo piano recording originally scheduled to sit alongside Sonic Youth and Swans in the catalogue of Glenn Branca's Neutral Records but eventually released on CD by the Dutch Barooni label in 1998. Although Palestine has worked in an enormous variety of media, his long form performances for solo piano are perhaps his most acclaimed works. Palestine immersed himself in the study of overtones throughout the 1960s,…

Formed 29 years ago (1996) by Nate Young, Wolf Eyes is currently a duo generally characterized as "noise," though they have called themselves "psycho jazz" (among other things). Extremely prolific, they have literally hundreds of releases and are a towering presence in underground music. Saxophonist Anthony Braxton was an early member of the AACM (Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians) and has won a MacArthur and been named an NEA Jazz Master, though his work is hardly confined t…

"Just want to emphasize that Detroit is my heart. That’s the environment of my imagination. From the beginning." Gerald Cleaver

'When the Distance is Blue' is Macie Stewart’s International Anthem debut. The Chicago-based multi-instrumentalist, composer, and improviser describes the collection as “a love letter to the moments we spend in-between”—a letter realized via an intentional return to piano, her first instrument and the origin of her creative expression. Here Stewart creates a striking and cinematic work through collages of prepared piano, field recordings, and string quartet compositions, one that gives shape to …

Relay For Death is the noise project of the twin sisters Roxann and Rachal Spikula. Their hermetic works consistently reflect a bleak nihilism, all the while carving an autonomous space for survival as the rest of the existence crumbles. Previous works have been published by Hanson, No Rent, Total Black, and RRRecords.   The twins offered the consideration that "Mutual Consuming comes from a concept in the philosophies that underpin traditional Chinese medicine theory, where the two opposing sta…

John Also Bennett’s Ston Elaióna forms an elegantly rigorous world of electroacoustic sonority, bridging the expanse of time with the immediacies of environment and happening in the here and now: a profound sonic mediation on the countless dimensions unlocked by life in Greece.

Francesca Ogbuachi is a Photographer, Writer, Storyteller and music maker from time to time, although she is unable to read music notes. She is Italian, born to Nigerian parents, and her way of speaking and saying things that she usually wouldn't be able to say is predominantly through Photography, Writing, Videography and playing the piano, which has been a very significant part of, not only her way of working ever since it came back in the picture, but especially of her life. Francesca’s work …

2025 stock Colin Stetson established himself as an intensely original solo composer and performer in 2011 with the release of the widely acclaimed New History Warfare Vol. 2: Judges, which ended up on countless year-end lists. Anyone who has seen Stetson in solo performance can attest to the stunning physicality of his circular-breathing technique and capacity to produce a seemingly impossible palate of multiple voicings simultaneously in real time. New History Warfare Vol. 3: To See More Light …

Tipuuraa is a 7-inch, single-sided flexi-disc released by Lorsson in 2015.

The record was issued by the Gafoni label, catalog number Galaxi-4, and is categorized as an EP.

In a world saturated with algorithmic predictability and digital gloss, Jacques Berchten’s Existrances Vol. I emerges as a defiantly analog, deeply personal artifact. Berchten, a Lausanne-based autodidact whose creative life spans over four decades, approaches sound as a painter approaches canvas—layering, erasing, and reimagining the boundaries between disciplines. Existrances is not merely an album, but a “project-symbiosis,” a living dialogue between painting, music, and poetry. The record un…

CD housed in 6 panel digisleeve. 12 pages booklet and Obi. Henry House is a recurring dream song. Combining closely tuned instruments and sinetones, tape-music editing techniques, field recordings, and voice, this eighty-minute, five-part song cycle is an evolutionary step away from the spontaneity of the free jazz/noise aesthetic usually found in the music of Nate Wooley. Henry House expands on the ecstatic, durational work found in Wooley’s Seven Storey Mountain, a six-part composition that ha…

2025 stock In 1992 the Melvins' fascination/adoration/denigration of the mighty KISS rock and roll universe compelled them to excrete out three solo masterworks inspired by the KISS solo LPs. The first in the series is King Buzzo, from the Melvins' giggling guitar grumpus. Four songs of atmospheric clanging and rockin' banging. Also features the many talents, drumming and otherwise, of a famous Grunge superstar, whose name sort of rhymes with New Wave Asshole. The second in the series is Dale Cr…

An organic audio forest of analogue electronics, electro-acoustic sounds, sound-sculpture instruments plus singing and piano, even (outrageous!). "The guy from HNAS with the wonderful lady from Anima, plus one of Christoph Heeman's buddies from the project In Camera. Homemade marimba, voice, violin, hand drums, trumpet, autoharp, & electronics slip around each other quietly. Heeman knows how to be ominous, and Fuchs knows how to be squirrely, so they complement each other really well." Weirdorec…

Michel Vogel explores the resonant possibilities of metallic percussion, sculpting shimmering, meditative soundscapes that blur the line between music and pure sound: alpha-wave improvisations for "prepared" gongs and self-built metal instruments
