Driving around the surrounding countryside each day to gather field recordings, evenings were spent by the duo assembling their findings into tape loops. These little rotating sculptures - …
Endless Bullshit Vol. 2
*150 copies limited edition* This isn’t really meant to be music, it’s meant to be some kind of audio art work about music, but it just ends up being music. The Christopher Walken character in New Rose Hotel says, “Potato, potahto, government, corporation, it’s the same thing.” This audio is interested in the problem of what we do in a situation where the government corporation is the official sponsor of how we think and feel about every aspect of existence and the possible, is invested in all i…

Furthered
"Furthered" is the new album by Alex Ward Item 4. The quartet's music is the fullest realization of Ward's long-standing desire to create a context where his compositional concerns can coexist with improvisation of the most unfettered stripe. Given a line-up which would be perfectly capable of creating compelling music without recourse to pre-written elements at all, Ward's compositions aim to function as another "personality" within the overall mix, subject to the same spontaneous interrogation…

Deep Meaning
“Deep Meaning” is the debut album by Maria Wildeis, a Cologne-based artist and expert in real-time sound design for installations. The tracks on “Deep Meaning” oscillate between club and experimental music and are characterized by a lightness unique to debut works. Particularly notable is the inventive use of synthetic, organic, and sampled vocal elements. Voices constantly morph into melodies and back; words become notes, chords turn into text. Maria’s real-time approach to composing is evident…

Extracøntinent
The extracøntinent that Damien Mingus invites us to visit on this new album from his My jazzy Child project is by no means an imagined or imaginary space. It's the palpable space forged by the musician's 25 years of activity, where popular and traditional music, free music and learned traditions collide. And don't confuse the ∅ (empty set) with the Ø (island in Norwegian) used in the title of this album and some of the tracks - it's insularity that's being asserted here. An island-continent made…
