Issue 140 (Magazine + CD)
The new issue of Electronic Sound dives into the world of tape music – from Pierre Schaeffer and Delia Derbyshire to today's sharpest loopers – and comes bundled with an exclusive Steve Reich CD, Tape Pieces, pairing his mid-'60s phasing landmarks Come Out and It's Gonna Rain across some 30 minutes.
Öd
After nearly a decade away, Black Forest collective Institut für Feinmotorik return on Faitiche with Öd: eight prepared turntables, no records, coaxing music from rubber bands, foil and junk. Dubby loops and howling static drift into a scrap-metal Dixieland haze, with word-molecule track titles by poet Dagmara Kraus.
Baquet Wheel
Kyoto trio Kukangendai return on Marionette with Baquet Wheel, five tracks of purely acoustic minimalism recorded live through Taku Unami’s binaural microphone. Through collage-like repetition the band fold jazz, krautrock, blues and Tuareg into one unified, timeless rhythm – primitive, precise, and impossible to place in time.
