Sixth annual volume of Graphème, the publication of experimental and graphic scores edited in Berlin by smallest functional unit, with works by twelve composers.

The six tracks that compose this record were taken form a seven-hour performance that took place in November 2023 in the Louvre-Lens Museum in France. This album crystallizes a process where multiple timelines and possibilities coexisted, distilling them into a linear sequence. This album involves transforming a live act that embraced a fluid and expansive understanding of time, into an object that can be played in identical loops. The live performance was reimagined, translating temporalities w…

*50 copies limited edition* "Written Systems" contains four new sonic poems by Alfredo Costa Monteiro based on speech synthesis, inspired by structural ideas in grammatology and linguistics. "Real Objects" is based on a sentence that is never heard in its entirety. Its fragments are revealed little by little over repetitions, offering a conceptual deconstruction. The absence of natural language’s continuity leads to an isolation of words from speech, converting them into real sonic objects. "Ins…

New and old compositions for Luigi Russolo’s legendary Intonarumori. After publishing his visionary manifesto, the Art of Noises, in 1913, the futurist painter Luigi Russolo designed and built a revolutionary family of new instruments with which to compose with noise: black, wooden boxes, fitted with huge acoustic horns, crank-handles (to drive them) and levers (to vary the pitch). They came in different varieties – designed to give composers access to five of what Russolo had identified as ‘the…

**Second edition of 250 copies, 20 page photographic book** Henning Christiansen was an incongruous mirror for the paradoxes of 20th century creative practice. He gave his context what it demanded - visionary and singular work, but was so radical that almost no one knew what to do with him, forcing him into the position of an outsider. Of all the composers working within the cradle of Fluxus, his work falls among the closest to its primary intent, destroying hierarchy, orthodoxy, and categorizat…

Few gestures in the history of recorded sound have been as absolute as the one Richard and Philip Rupenus made in a garden shed in rural Newcastle in 1982, when – as The New Blockaders – they committed Changez Les Blockeurs to tape and, with it, drew the founding line of noise as an art of pure negation. From the outset TNB armed the music with a manifesto: blockade as resistance, an anti-music and anti-art set against every convention of composition, performance, and even personality, the sound…
