Healing Music 13 - 18
*70 copies limited edition* Enter the 3rd chamber: »Healing Music 13–18« is the final installment in Joachim Nordwall's Healing Music Triptychon. Where the first volume delved deep into the depths of dub and the second body of tracks was dedicated to the organization of noise through rhythm and silence, the third part takes a logical step forward, being a radical exercise in asceticism. It's the most stripped down set of the three, demanding attention to details as much as it furthers concentrat…
Dunkelfelder
*50 copies limited edition* Dunkelfelder is another entry in DRNTTCKS‘ (pronounced [droʊn əˈtæks]) ongoing series of directly recorded live jams – after tapes on Hungary’s Beach Buddies, Austrian Feathered Coyote, German noise institution Grisaille and British Industrial Coast, they return to their home turf Otomatik Muziek for the label’s last release. As all other entries in this series, Dunkelfelder was improvised on the spot and recorded in one take. It's a very much loop-based duo improvisa…
Echonomy Split Series #5
**70 copies limited edition. Riso-printed booklet accompanied by a multi-page conversation between Laure and Laurent. In process of stocking** It is with great pleasure that we release the fifth installment of our Echonomy split serie and present a special father and daughter collaboration. In 2021, Berlin-based French artist Laure Boer found by chance old tapereels of her father, French conductor Laurent Boer. In 1981, the latter participated in a GRM workshop in Paris, during which he created …
Healing Music
*Limited edition of 100 copies.* "Disclaimer: Joachim Nordwall is one of those artists whose work I've been following for a long time, from the spastic no wave of Kid Kommando to the sprawling drone rituals of Skull Defekts, from the industrialized meditations of Saturn & The Sun, his collaboration records with the likes of Mats Gustaffson or Mika Vainio, to his multifaceted solo outputs, under his own name or the Idealist moniker... well you might get the point: I am a fanboy. So I write from a…
Faculty Of Perception (Tape)
* Edition of 80 tapes (white plastic), hand-dubbed, hand-cut inlays, incl. download * Gud Er Kvinde („God Is A Woman“) is the Danish duo of Maria Bertel and Johannes Lund. They sparsely release music under this moniker. They do have a myspace site. They both played in the Danish version of the Jooklo Duo, aptly entitled Jooklo Danish Group. Maria is playing in one of my all-time favourite bands, Selvhenter. Johannes‘ solo performance at the Kraak Fest 2017 would have been the sole reason for me …
Transmitter
**60 copies** "Despite working often alone, Savvas Metaxas is someone who rather thinks in terms of community and connectivity, who prefers alliances over ego, who is a sound artist as well as a musical activist. Coming from Thessaloniki, Greece, he co-founded Granny Records, puts up local shows, worked with the Goethe Institute, did site-specific sound installations in London, collaborates with other experimentalists like Spyros Emmanouilidis and released brilliant albums on fellow tape travell…
Neuro / BP
**50 copies** "Let us make one thing clear, here, at the beginning of things: Otomatk Muziek is a small tape label. We have no need for advertising, for selling anything you don’t need, for releasing anything we’re not convinced of. And as much as we love drone music, we are super tired of the bazillion of self-sufficient, male drone artists of the internet world. In fact, we couldn’t care less. Boys, this thing is through! Nobody wants to hear you gaffertaping some low key on your synth for ano…
Our Complex Pleasures
**50 copies** Starting off Otomatik Muziek in 2016 as a means to release music and working together with friends, S.U.V. aka Franz Joseph Kaputt went on a long journey since then. After the brutal no-input-noise of New Dark Age and excursions in the realms of dark, psychedelic folk on 2018’s Sterben / Shifting, he began working with synthesizers, mostly because they... synthesize. With the pragmatic approach to replace a merzbau of pedals by using synths as multi-faceted tools for live shows, Ka…
