Anthropods
Anthropods is the new band from American drummer and composer, Mark Holub. Holub, known mainly as bandleader of the acclaimed and Mercury Prize nominated Led Bib has with ‘Anthropods’ created his first project as a leader since starting Led Bib in 2003. While some of Holub’s trademark Led Bib style is evident here, the album is full of contrasts, from pastoral beauty to dense free improvisation to heavy grooves, showcasing sides of Holub’s work well beyond his work with Led Bib.
Holub has been b…
C’est Disco
** 2022 limited reissue ** C'est disco is the first studio album by the Italian band Rats. It was released in 1981 by Italian Records and is a record strongly inspired by the wave and dark scene of that period. In 2014 the record was reissued in a vinyl version with the addition of a bonus CD featuring the complete album plus the song Tattoo, initially discarded from the album's tracklist and included in a compilation. The band's line-up featured vocalist Claudia Lloyd on vocals, and on guitar t…
Porci con la p.38
"Porci con la P.38" is an almost unknown Italian crime movie directed in 1978 by Gianfranco Pagani - his only and soon forgotten work to date, for two main reasons: the modest quality of the final result and the historical period in which was made, the end of the '70s, when its film genre had practically dissolved. Its music score, on the other and, written by composer and conductor Pippo Caruso (1935-2018), is a quite different matter, and only by pure chance has just been luckily and very rece…
La Ragazza Dal Pigiama Giallo
“La Ragazza dal Pigiama Giallo” (The Pyjama Girl Case) is a 1977 crime film directed by Flavio Mogherini, peculiarly set in Australia and featuring an exceptional international cast starring actors Ray Milland and Mel Ferrer. The soundtrack composed by Riz Ortolani ("Cannibal Holocaust", "Zeder"), is mainly characterized by a funk-rock pace, with melancholy and romantic moments ("Un uomo nella strada") alternating with others that are more intense and thrilling ("La fuga"); the electronic sounds…

Building on the haunting industrial ethers of ‘Dream Circle’ and the esoteric, rhythmic dro…
58'
58' was composed in 2010 on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of d-zAkord. I wanted a very minimalist piece with few sound events and long silences. At that time we presented t'Drone(s)Scape', a sound/living installation lasting 3 hours. The public was invited to sit or lie down in the center of the sonic maelstrom for a multicast travel. It is in this context that 58' was imagined.
Although unconventional, the 58' score is extremely precise. The musicians follow a graphic score, with time p…
F.I.T.
"An invented language, deliberately without any semantic value, in order to create phonetic deceptions and assonance able to evocate real idioms coming from disparate latitudes of human geography. All this accompanied by a suspended and unpredictable musical language. Massimo Giuntoli continues his path of exploration of the controversial relationship between text and music, coming through to F.I.T. (Found in Translation) to an improbable universal language that makes fun of borders on earth tra…

Le Corps Utopique
These are truly original pieces, very personal, closer to contemporary and improvised music than to ethnic music.The recordings began in autumn 2019 in Laurent Pernice's studio. Dominique Beven improvised a series of tunes, under the direction of the composer, during three different sessions distributed over time. The sound recordings were then re-arranged, mixed and electronically manipulated by Laurent Pernice to produce the final pieces to be submitted to Anima Motrix Company. The album " L…

Subsongs
*30 copies limited edition* Subsongs is supposed to function like the soundtrack to a non- existent film. The images evoked by these songs depend on the imagination of the listener. Subsongs itself is a term borrowed from ornithology. It means any utterances from birds that are not associated with their standard ‘songs’ that make them recognizable as a species (e.g. the subsong of crows includes a lot of chirping and/or melodic sounds that are not normally associated with their ‘krah’ song. Thes…
Concrete Paris
*100 copies limited edition* “I’ve been making recordings of the sounds of Parisian architecture. Specifically those buildings in concrete often labelled brutalist – a term many architects dislike. Some of these early recordings found their way into Langham Research Centre’s Tape Works (Vol. 2) album. Now for this new composition I’ve brought them together with new lockdown recordings from beyond Paris’s Péripherique – the dual carriageway that contains the historic city. These new town centres …
