★Erratum Musical
L'ange le sage
Debut album of Parisian sound artist Gaël Segalen, placing her 'danceable field recording' on the musical map, with hypnotic and polyrhythmic compositions, between soundscape, bruitism, and freeform electronics. Recorded, composed and mixed in Paris by Gaël Segalen between 2013 and 2015. Mastered and cut by Frederic Alstadt
New Crium Delirium Erratum Coyote Circus
New Crium Delirium Erratum Coyote Circus is the combination work of old freak Lionel Foxx Magal (from Crium Delirium, early obscure french freaks 70’s live psych band) with the weirdest manic french sound poet and avant-gardes publisher and activist Michel Giroud-Coyote-Gerwulf, and sonic vocalist Joachim Montessuis. Two tracks of intense psychotrance vocals and electronics, digging the OM down to the bone.
Cathedrale de Strasbourg
The latest transmission from Joachim Montessuis curated Erratum imprint sees the return of the inimitable Charlemagne Palestine, casting a spellbinding invocation of organ ritual music. A self-described “maximalist composer”, Palestine originally developed his organ technique in 1964 with a debut performance as an organist in New York City, after decades of recognition since the 1960s, as a leading Minimalist composer and visual artist. He has long been fascinated by drones, rituals, repetition…
Le Verdouble
**Killer new album by this France related duo, hurdy gurdy medieval drone into one of its finest achievements**. Yvan Etienne + Yann Gourdon, hurdy gurdy. French duet playing the minimal and maximal experimentations of the hurdy gurdy, breeding continuous waves, inducing the medieval 'bourdon' (drone) into one of its finest achievements.

The Void
After 'Sleeping Beauty' in 2002, here is the second solo album from the ultimate japanese voice! Very rare. The scream beyond all screams, the most incredible intensity within its simplest aspect. Two years in the making, here it is finally, 'The void', a minimal masterwork with two tracks recorded in Paris : the first one with a raw direct naked voice approach - yet very clear and unheard as Junko has never recorded her full voice this way, and a second track with all of Junko's voice frequenci…

Erratum #3, Revue Sonore / Sound Review
This lengthy compilation offers up a mixed bag of the fascinating and the wearisome. Peak bits of said fascination here would have to be Gregory Whitehead, Gilles Richard and the duo of Patrick Muller and Jean-Francois Bory, who all offer up wonderfully sick vocal based surrealist audio malformations. Elsewhere, Zbigniew Kakowski dishes up nerve janging sinewaves and distorted field recordings while Dinsinformation and Charlemagne Palestine both maddeningly revel in stasis, with unwavering low-e…
