Passione Farfallina
Awesome tape! A side project by A Spirale band, first release for the label Joy de Vivre, the Aspec(t) snuff/jazz, their second work after the first one by the Belgian label FFHHH, harsh-noise and electroacoustic research.
Hiss Vol.1
The works included in 'hiSS [Synesthesia Sampler] vol.1' have been produced using only analogue devices and processing tools - such as no input mixers, analogue synthesizers and custom-built or hacked/reconfigured instruments. Without the use of computers or digital devices, the 4 pieces recall an era from the 1950s-70s, when most of the electronic music makers around the world had limited resources and quite primitive equipment.
Fart Synthesis
'Fart Synthesis' is the 8th episode in EVOL's ongoing Punani series, and was edited from live recordings in Osaka, Kiev and Toulouse between 2008 and 2009. All sounds were synthesized on the fly on various computers. The final tracks were assembled in Barcelona in the spring of 2009 using generative algorithms to splice and rearrange a large amount of sound files.The title of this cassette comes from a series of chats and discussions on digital synthesis techniques by Rubén Patiño (aka Pato) and…
Gravity's Ghost
Real deep drone music from Jon Wesseltoft (a.k.a Tongues of Mount Meru ) long form pieces for guitar with a sense of ancient space beauty and phantom overtones.
The Sky Above The Bud Below
Noisy but not even brutal. Digital enough to preserve the organic and crispy taste of the sound. These are two new stunning recordings from one of the most active and finest artist in the field of noise and improvised music. This is Lasse Marhaug. This is The Sky Above The Bud Below."Marhaug has an impressive range at his fingertips, veering wildly from shock-tactic maximal noise, to near-silent contemplative drones. Much of the time loud and noisy, but also playful and even quiet, wintry and re…

Dreamachine / Beyond Digital Mix
Palm Wine is a blog run by Simone Bertuzzi started at the end of 2009. It is described as "a possible and distant look at the post-global movement of sounds and imageries, even dazed by alcohol vapours. For this reason, it can take unexpected routes backward and forward, travels in the outer space and depicts a magic conception of distance between past, present and the next world." "Dreamachine / Beyond Digital Mix" is a C60 tape released by Palm Wine after a trip to Morocco attending a…
Ammo A Mass A Mat
She lay, naked, draped across the piano, her nipples still erect from her recent encounter. Globules dripped onto the keys, lying like translucent mercury pools, somewhere between solid and liquid, defying definition. She might be asleep; she might not. It's a special private place which cannot be shared or revealed. Her right hand slowly stroked the keys, as if to play; but there is no need for music now. She has her own sounds playing breezily around her; no need for form. Her fingers h…

Live in Rome
Giovanni Donadini is a versatile artist, illustrator, musician, fashion designer Looking at his drawings, serigraphs, clothes, fanzines, his records.. is easy to see how everything is extremely connected by a common thread, a strict consistency and a deep study that affect both his works as his lifestyle.Invited to play in Rome with his solo project, Ottaven, Giovanni consciously leaves home his usual set-up, all the pre-recorded material, his well known machines in favor of a totally impr…

Most decapods are scavengers. As their name implies, all decapods have ten legs; these are the last five of the eight pa…
Soft Power Memento
Embody Problematic Behavior. These are the three words that Co La uses to describe “Soft Power Memento,” his follow-up EP to 2011′s “Daydream Repeater” debut LP on NNA. Something to mull over while immersing yourself in Co La’s vivid and constantly-evolving world of sound. The spectrum of source material is widened and focused, with an emphasis on acoustic instrumentation and jazz palettes, all diced up and run through the New Anything sound system. Concréte percussive molecules are tenderly arr…

LiveGrodor
We had been talking about this tape for a couple years now: a buncha killer livejams by the great Swedish band Den Stora Vilan (which supposedly translates something as ‘The Great Rest’). Long mellow West Coast influenced psych jams (think ‘American Beauty’ era Gratefuld Dead) meets Neil Young with a bit of Trad Gras Och Stenar thrown in. 200
Mummy Fingers
T TRANCE's latest acid circus. This sparkling C30 slipslides through all his manic dual-keys modes (one hand mans the organ, the other dances up & down a wah-fucked Casio), accented w/ the occasional mushroom starchild sing-songing vocals. Ltd to 120
Souls on board
Cassette only - limited edition of 250 copies. Each side is seventeen minutes forty five seconds long.
Fundamental Structure
Deceh is an anonymous duo featuring the elusive Eleh. Their edition for the Tapeworm series is "a close study of the harmonic composition of a Hammond organ and a Sruti Box with attention given to the organization of isolated frequencies and the effects of these vibrations on brain activity." Like all of Eleh's work, 'Fundamental Structure' is meditative, and, if you like, spiritual, seeming to slow time itself to a malleable blur and opening sublime temporal portals in the process. And w…

weekend
On this cassette are two days of ambient sound recordings, each originally about twenty-four hours long and sped up to play back at about 128 times the original speed. The recordings were made in my studio, which is located in West Baltimore City. I was interested in hearing what was too low and slow for me to normally hear, or to imagine how I would hear things if I were an insect. Since sound can give an indication of length (sound travels approximately 1 foot per millisecond), my h…
