Baroque Non Baroque #27815 (LP)
*110 copies limited edition. Includes repulsive cover photo and hand-stamped labels* ‘Nothing compares to you’ was about Peter Fengler and Sinéad was right! There’s no losers here, just the bare and brutal leftovers of a very long night or a really early morning. Is the sound your uncle Peter makes sexy or sexist? Is knocking on wood kinky or slapping the salami sufficient? Is it a Karlheinz with a Karlsquell or a Cage with a Cara? Or just tins for fears? Complex comparisons more zonked than the…

Montreal Spy Diary/Nothing/Living Room Tour Montreal
Comes with a 24 pp. booklet.

Terminal
*180 copies limited edition* "Several years ago, I walked away from a long-standing abusive relationship. The process of healing wasn’t linear, nor was it easy—but it began with something elegantly simple: walking. I spent countless hours walking through the city and in particular Point Pleasant Park, combing its rocky beaches searching for "sea brick" washed ashore. Over the course of 2 years, I collected 104 pieces of broken bricks. Each brick, a symbol of a week, a step, a moment of reclaimin…

In the Depth of Illusion: A Soundtrack for Nervous Magic Lantern
"Ken Jacobs, an essential figure of avant-garde cinema, and I had over-a-decade-long collaboration. We first performed fo his Nervous Magic Lantern project at the Argos Festival in Brussels in 2007.

He turned on the apparatus and the image flashed onto the screen: geometric patterns — something of a Rorschac…
Off The Record
Off The Record (faitiche 39), the new album by French collagist Roméo Poirier, is an amusing romp through the discarded history of recording studios. It contains fourteen miniatures based on accidental recordings of studio talk, revealing things that were never meant for the public: we hear instructions from studio staff, scraps of talk between musicians, or just microphones being adjusted, as well as false notes, false starts: everyone stops. Start again: 1, 2, 3, 4!
Poirier’s approach recalls …
