Nobody feels the sound fracturing as Masami Akita, nobody understands noise better than Merzbow. This Japanese artist is for more than forty years the maximum exponent of a style that has been catalogued and denominated with perhaps, the most descriptive word of modern music. Noise can have very diverse connotations, however, when we transfer this term to the pleasure and enjoyment that a piece of music generates in the listener, when we treat non-music as music, we understand that sound express…

Tip! In the realm of experimental music, certain collaborations feel inevitable - the convergence of like-minded artists whose individual voices seem destined to merge into something greater than the sum of their considerable parts. Bitterviper represents precisely such a meeting of minds, bringing together four musicians who have each participated in some of the most striking avant-garde music-making of the past two decades for an album that redefines what collaborative minimalism can achieve. …
Tip! The cult bands' cult band: Trabant were formed in Hungary in 1980. The closest the group ever came to producing a record was in the form of a promotional 7” vinyl for a film in which the core members starred. At the centre of an anti-authoritarian—that is literally outlawed—underground music scene in Hungary, this film soundtrack represented an opportunity to distribute their music without acquiring the recording and distribution license demanded by the censorious Communist regime.
Trabant …

Tim Hecker's incredible score to 'The North Water', starring Colin Farrell and Jack O'Connell. 'The score for the film was written just before and during the pandemic in 2020, mostly over arguably one of the darkest winters of some memory in Montreal', says Hecker. 'The music was an attempt to add depth and texture to a five-hour doomed arctic journey that charts a trajectory from hardened optimism into abject futility. We worked with a primary palette of synthesizers, electronics, and treated c…

Tip! Causa Sui return with the perfect companion to last year's tour de force, "From The Source". Whereas that record was a tightly structured piece of work, that condensed many aspects of the band's sound into a concise 45 minute LP, "In Flux" presents the more loose and impulsive side of Causa Sui. After an introductory suite in classic Causa Sui territory, with deep fuzz riffs and syncopated grooves, things gradually become more outlandish.
The following three vinyl sides see the band chann…

Those close to the band have long m…

*300 copies limited edition* A sporangium (from Ancient Greek sporá 'seed' and angeîon 'vessel') is an enclosure in which spores are formed. It can be composed of a single cell or can be multicellular. Virtually all plants, fungi, and many other groups form sporangia at some point in their life cycle. Sporangia can produce spores by mitosis, but in land plants and many fungi, sporangia produce genetically distinct haploid spores by meiosis.
Sporangium is brand new "merzsoniks"! Equipments used b…
