FLicKeR

Jean Tinguely
Awesome and obscure release, the music on this disc is a collection of awesome noisy sound works establishing Tinguely in the tradition of Luigi Russolo’s noise machines or John Cage’s Imaginary Landscapes. Tinguely’s sculptures rotating parts create awkward rhythm patterns, metallic rattlings and loud percussion sounds, more often than not on the verge of falling apart. Similar sounds can be heard in Jean-Marc Vivenza’s robust take on ‘bruitisme’ or Pierre Bastien’s self-build mecano instrument…

Club Years
Johanna Went is a pioneering performance artist who began performing as
part of a street theater troupe that traveled America and Europe in the
1970s. Following her years on the road, she settled in L.A. in the late
'70s and began transforming her street theater performances into what
would become her signature style. Using found props and hand-sewn
costumes, she developed a wild stage act that included live musical
backing from legendary performers such as Z'ev and KK Barret of the
Screa…
Untitled
This mysterious LP follows in the footsteps of "Invasion of the Thunderbolt Pagoda",capturing primal, fiery jams both raw in sound quality and in performance.Flowing with what seems like no beginning or end, he creates a dizzying cerebral drone that combines the hypnotic techniques of Tony Conrad with the primitive sensibility of early Amon Duul I or MEV. Maclise creates a dizzying, joyous sound that remains unparalleled, even today. And his music, while being well-documented, is only barely ava…
Poextensions & Contexts
One of the earlier Z'ev recodings, under his real name (Stefan Weisser) this amazing artist records develops a personality all it's own, a wonderfully crafted noise product to be played at any speed, depending on the mood, drugs, or time at hand. Pioneered by Lou Reed's "Metal Machine Music," the only comparison to be found. Complete of all the instert, hand signed
Ripping Skies
From the bowels of the southern hemisphere, guitar-electronics noise signor Marco Fusinato gives us the full FA-18 squadron attack. One side is an inferno of mangled guitar spit, relentlessly speeding and colliding with all in its path. The flipside features a giant monochord stuck and struggling to escape from the shards of the volatile overload. Recorded live, then spliced-mixed-mastered by Oren Ambarchi. Cover artwork by Australian colonial convict-forgerer-artist Joseph Lycett. And now... ev…
Le Xerox Et L\'Infini
Jean Baudrillard's "Le Xerox et l'Infini" – originally published in Paris, 1987 – as read by Patricia and Ellen. Recorded on 12 July 2009 by Vicki Bennett in Hersham, England. Translation: Agitac, London, November 1988. Jean Baudrillard is perhaps the most important theorist of the 'after modern'. Though he says himself he has 'nothing to do with postmodernism', many interpret him (along with Jean-François Lyotard) as among the most important prophets of a truly postmodern era. His works have at…
Corpo Nostro
Awesome brand new release, a must for those into sound sculpture, resonant droning sounds, radical art performances - "Corpo Nostro is a complete experience! Dario Buccino delivers to the world a creation that is so exciting, so innovative and so well resolved that it seems he has been doing this for years. The truth is he has been doing this for years and in his native Italy he is already an underground phenomenon. For more than a decade, BUCCINO has left his mark on all those who have experi…
Audiopoems
Long deleted, this is one of the best antological CD (not to be confused with the one on Tangent) issued by the elusive Hundertmark gallery back in 2001. Very few copies available
Pencil Music
Originally released under the title "Bleistiftmusik" as a C30 cassette in a signed and numbered edition of 80 copies by Edition Hundertmark as 74. Karton. "I was surprised that it was possible to read the acoustic event from the object drawn, and some insecurity about the association of visual signs and sound phenomena (caused by the directional openness of the reading process) appears to increase even more the attraction of seeing them combined. The pencil-sound piece did not always remain th…
Spare Ass Annie And Other Tales
A collaboration between Burroughs, producer Hal Willner, and politico-rappers Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy. It features Burroughs reading excerpts from seven of his books set to music by the Heroes, mostly a slow, lazy funk that sounds like it was lifted from a '70s blaxploitation soundtrack. Highlights include the 16-minute, decidedly Burroughsian holiday treat "A Junky's Christmas" and "Words of Advice for Young People," which first appeared on the Smack My Crack collection, minus the music…
Disband
Long-lost recordings culled from performances between 1979 and 1982 from the loose group of feminist performers known as Disband. Ilona Granet, Donna Henes, Barbara Kruger, Ingrid Sischy, Diane Torr, and Martha Wilson screamed, shouted, sang, and stomped through the heyday of New York City's new- and no-wave scenes, blurring the line between performance art and live music. Mirroring the chaos and temporarity of that time, the band split up in 1982 having never produced a record. This is the firs…
Electronic symphony No.1
Little-known composer Hiroaki Minami was a professor of electronic music at the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts & Music and is a pioneer of synthesizer music in Japan. He built a private studio for his self-made synthesizer in his home in 1976, and shortly thereafter, he composed this piece, Electronic Symphony No. 1, filled with spacey and very noisy analog synthesizer sounds, much like Roland Kayn's '60s concrète works. Contains liner notes by the artist in Japanese and English; h…
