Clouded Mind
*Dubbed on TDK Chrome Tapes - very good quality!* Two long-form pieces evolving around experimental sampling and noticeably draws inspiration from the sharp digital sounds of the 2000s. Notably, these sounds doesn't lack the inorganicness and sterility that often are a synonym with the early digital era. From my perspective these two pieces reflect glimpses of wild articulative freedom from a otherwise verysimplistic language.
Bring forth the moon
*Dubbed on new ferro tapes* A collaboration between accordionist K. Vidar, recorded and edited by J. Folke with onset from Vidar's solo accordion concert in a water tower in Brønshøj. Recordings are made the day prior to the concert, and subsequent on the staircases of the conservatory on Rosenørns Alle. Edited and processed throughout the summer 2024.

Riconnessione Iconoclastica Sacrale
“Does destruction of sacred images imply anything for the erosion of the role of the imperial icons? Because divinity being destroyed is not a representation of a spiritual form disappearing, but a consequence of historian interpretation, scientists are doing exactly what everyone would do when tripping in ego-fixation, creating a transformation which is itself subversive and self-deconditioning. The church of the Virgin has been rebuilt and lavishly refurbished, due to major insights regarding …

Red River
Kolkata-based musician Nilotpal Das aka Bios Contrast's new album 'Red River', arrives as a narrative sequel to his 'Dragon Rising' LP on Hong Kong DIY label Mouhoi. The concept behind the record is a speculative historical drama and myth taking place during the deadly Kalinga War in the Mauryan Empire of India. Following his intensive 24-hour harmonium drone compositions, Das's 'Red River' uses recordings of Bell 407, a civil utility helicopter as the main body of the record together with a 47-…
Modfase

Each side contains multiple pieces which quickly shift betwee…

Moltitudine in Labirinto
Bomb! 200 copies, clear vinyl. Valuable vinyl reissue for this historic four-handed work by Gigi Masin and Giuseppe Caprioli.

Ei, Wir Tun Dir Nichts Zuleide!
6-track EP from the German experimental dark folk duo Brannten Schnüre. A shimmering, pastoral collage of acoustic instrumentation, electronics, field recordings and haunting, austere vocals, the songs on ‘Ei, Wir Tun Dir Nicths Zuleide!’ comes together to something quite astonishing and otherwordly. Luboš Fišer’s soundtrack to Valerie And Her Week Of Wonders comes to mind, as does the essence of Astrid Lindgren’s summer scenes with fragments of the ambience of something akin to Nico’s Desertsho…

Éthiopiques 29: Mastawesha
*2024 stock* Kassa (1927-1973) belongs to the long tradition of melancholy raconteurs with a decided gift of gab. The unique embrace of his deep voice heightens the emotion generated by the hum of his lyrics. For Ethiopians he is, along with such other great post-war voices as Assèfa Abatè, Fréw Haylou, Asnaqètch Wèrqu or Kètèma Mèkonnen, a perfect example of the culture of the word: poetry and freedom of expression, wit and impressive verve that hits the mark, quiet vehemence and merciless loqu…
