Live at Jazz Festival Willisau 2023, First Visit
“We are in the business of transformation, applying our knowledge of improvising together for twenty-five years, interwoven with our resonance with these melodies and forms. We have found our collective way with honouring what these pieces express to us, through our personal language, comments Gerry Hemingway.” He agrees that there's a concept of authenticity”. “The feeling of swing is our own, but shaped by the pieces we are playing”. Authenticity is acquired through assimilating traditions, an…

Landmarks
Following its release in the winter of 2018, "Landmarks", a collaboration between veteran ambient artists Celer and Forest Management, initially drew quiet accolades and a steadfast listenership that has since swelled to unimagined proportions (~20 Mil. streams), resonating with listeners perhaps now more than ever and cementing its status as an experimental classic.
Inspired by Paul Theroux's novel "The Mosquito Coast" and Peter Weir's 1986 film adaptation of that book, "Landmarks" sets out 14…
Iniquitous
"With 2021’s ‘Mystery Fields’, Phil Heeks delivered a stunning homage to 1970s library LPs and soundtrack compilations, in his debut record as The British Stereo Collective. Like ‘Mystery Fields’ before it, the long-awaited sequel ‘Iniquitous’ brings together two-decades-worth of TV music from an alternate reality. Says Phil: “I feel that Volume 2 nails the concept of the TV themes compilation much more successfully, being more varied and more expansive, and with greater authenticity.”
Once agai…
Atoms
When a story sees its own ending. Atoms shows the Hamburg grown friends and instrumentalists taking a steep descent into the unmarked. Crushed arpeggios, hand layered drums and the afterthought of a nightly piano allude to an early dawn still at midnight. All six tracks are ultimately cast towards loss, since Charly Schöppner, the trio's rhythmic enigma, passed before the record was finished in 2023. But they do this unwillingly, each alone, and they materialise the persistence of beauty in diff…
Carefully Upon This Hour
AAD proudly presents "Carefully Upon This Hour", the follow up to muttering's 2022 cassette "Iron Angel, Please Keep Quiet". Subdued amp buzz and clattering acoustic objects echo in the distance of what sounds like a large decrepit room, gradually building up into a roaring thunderous mess of twisted scrap metal and feedback that abruptly submits to quieter reverberations...only to be disrupted with one last blast of abrasive rumbling junk noise.
Animal Motherfucker
At last, the debut full length CD by New Grasping Machina! This project has made quite a name for itself in recent years and should be familiar to most noise heads at this point, due to being so tirelessly active both live and recording wise. Luk Henderiks is an actual singer-songwriter in various actual bands playing actual music...however, the enthusiasm and consistent focus Luk puts into NGM makes it obvious this is also a big priority, as well as operations of their DIY-style CDr imprint Mec…
Spirit World
Prolepsis has been one of contemporary Harsh Noise's best kept secrets for the past couple of years, although i've done my best to put people on to the project, which is not easy considering their minimal online presence and short list of physical only self-released titles (that honestly tend to outshine a vast majority of hyped releases by more well known artists).
Until now this Michigan-based project has only been featured on AAD's "Life is Fucking Stupendous!" compilation, but the brief soni…
Sacred Heart of Reinvention
Wow, this is unreal -- the first full length album by Slacking on AAD? What a privilege to do this landmark release, which will surely be looked back on years from now as a crowning achievement for the label, in the same way that Creation Records must feel about being the one to have put out "Loveless". From the first time i heard this project i was stoked in a way i hadn't been since first discovering Harsh Noise. It was immediately apparent that i was to be in total support of this project as …
Dust Devil
"Snapshots of the myriad moods that populate trajectories of one’s most intimate bonds with friends, lovers, the body, the self, and immediate surroundings. Glimpses of providing care for oneself, sparking romance, splintering, daily drama, and embarking through an inner desert.
Intersections at a certain place in time, in softness and compassion.
There is much pain in suspension, much anger in grief.
Seek nourishment—
Wide open space, endless horizon road.” — Naemi
