Private Venus 2023
"Most of the people who are opposed to the sex industry and sex work are feminist lesbians with a holier-than-thou prudish attitude towards the industry. I don't deal with street prostitutes. The ladies I include are well-respected for their unique services and private venues and they all are in a job they want to be in and enjoy." - George McCoy
Recorded and mixed in 2015 and 2023 at Nerolidio and Istituto di Elettronica Radicale - Como - Insubria.
Tracks 1-4 and 7 were originally on the Privat…

Cessation Of Violence
*2024 stock. 150 copies limited edition* "Unsustainable Social Condition / Baculum does not sound anything like the title "Cessation of Violence" would suggest. It is an unrelenting, 100% pure harsh noise release. All the tracks seem to sit rather comfortably in the mid-frequencies, shattering your ears. It is an emanation of pure power, anger and frustration. There aren't many dynamics (in terms of volume) here, it's a wall of sound. And you're going to love it." - Dawid Scumwalski

** Individually hand-painted, hand-numbered gatefold sleeve. Original copies of this obscure classic. Few copies available, unplayed ** Roberto Donnini is an architect, visual artist, and musician who has realized several remarkable avantgarde LPs from the 1980s and 1990s, pure droning soundscapes with a sophisticated blending of a rich instrumentation performed by an incredible cast of guest players. Long coveted and hunted by collectors, Fluxmar falls among the strange and definition resistant…
Lacuna and parlor
‘Lacuna and Parlor’ is anchored in the left-field chamber music and incidental recordings that have long accented more eaze’s roving sound. Composed with one ear pressed to the rich textures of instrumental recording environments, this is a resonant and tactile collection tinged in rephrased space and skewed time. Taking the rudiments of tonal music theory as her conceptual base, more eaze formed the compositions around her own manipulations of these core principles. Simple chord progressions st…
ex-DJ
*100 copies limited edition* In December 2023, dj sniff (US/JP), Mariam Rezaei (UK), SlowPitchSound (CA), and DJ Rex Chen (TW) met for the first time in Taipei to take part in "ex-DJ," a music program curated by dj sniff for the Taipei Biennial. The aim of this project was to highlight a musical practice that equally drew influences from experimental music, free improvisation, and hip hop. This collaborative initiative unfolded over a 10-day period within the Taipei Fine Arts Museum's specially …
Comes From Far Away From Here
*100 copies limited edition* Resourcefulness is sometimes presented as a humble quality born of necessity. But it’s a foundational tenet of the exceptionally unconstrained members of improvising trio Tamarisk, consisting of Christina Carter, David Menestres, and Andrew Weathers. Their latest is a continuation of the interplay they’ve developed for a few years now on a handful of releases and while touring. Like the most bizarre sort of jazz combo, Tamarisk grazes the orbits of outré free improv,…

Colonial Motels
*100 copies limited edition* Erica Dawn Lyle has been described by Pitchfork as a “punk hero,” which, though true, feels like an insufficiently specific term to describe her multifaceted presence and work. Colonial Motels is in fact rawly personal, a ladder out of an abyss of mourning as well as a determination to persevere and connect. Playing less but achieving more, this album captures the engaging intensity and directness that defines Lyle’s art, performance, and activism. Part I builds on p…
Distinct and Concealed
*100 copies limited edition* This meet-up between two thoughtful practitioners of minimal and process-oriented music succeeds not because it is resourceful but because its gestures are clearheaded. Disciplined and exploratory, it is like observing someone fixing a watch: methodical and calm, periodically getting up and selecting a tool, working for stretches of full concentration, and hearing the footsteps and rustle of clothing. The titles of the pieces – “Distinct” and “Concealed” – suggest te…
Der Vogel Turlipan
*80 copies limited edition* For more than two decades Oliver Peters has been working as Evapori, with releases on Entr'acte, Walter Ulbricht Schallfolien, 1000füssler, as well on his own now defunct Antiinformation imprint he used to run with his close collaborator Nicolas Wiese since the early 2000's. Following his 2020 LP "Dia-Logos", "Der Vogel Turlipan" is Peters' second work for Fragment Factory, which is based on a poem of the same name by East German writer Peter Hacks. It tells the story…
Jenseits Der Wand
*300 copies limited edition* "Jenseits der Wand" is the latest CD-release by Berlin-based multi-disciplinary artists Daniela Fromberg and Stefan Roigk, which results from two walk-in sound installations, which were realized in 2021 and 2022.
While one focuses on the diverse acoustic dimension of urban life with all its obscure and often indecipherable noises behind your own four walls, the other deals with the specific soundscape of a recycling center, which is created from the supposedly worthl…
Heartbeats
*300 copies limited edition* Arbitrary presents the second in a series of 10" vinyl remix collaboration releases by Danish musician Mads Emil Nielsen and Chromacolor. Side A features Heartbeats, a composition Nielsen originally made for a radio soundtrack. The track is derived from loops and granulations of sine waves and pulses from Nielsen’s modular synth, which he later combined with recordings of synthesized bass and layers of organ-like tones. On side B is a remix by German sound artist and…

Barricade 3
*Comes in a CD-sized papersleeve album replica (gatefold), with obi-strip and insert of notes mostly in Japanese..2024 stock* Restocked!!! ZNR was the French duo of Hector Zazou and Joseph Racaille (hence, Zazou 'n' Racaille) active in the mid to late '70s. Their 1976 debut, Barricade 3, is an anti-pop masterpiece that truly defies categorization; it makes perfect sense that ZNR appears on the infamous Nurse With Wound list. Featuring an array of seemingly dichotomous instruments (piano, synthes…
