Solitude Of Sounds (In Memoriam Tomasz Sikorski)
"Solitude of Sounds: in memoriam Tomasz Sikorski" is a collection of works created in Polish Radio Experimental Studio by Polish pioneer of minimalism, Tomasz Sikorski and by his friends and followers.

On the other hand, the Dutch style of minimalism is what I'd call "Hippie minimalism". It is informed by culture…
Kill The Self That Wants To Kill Yourself
A towering monolith of spiritual free-RnB sax riffing, embedded in world dub fragments, & harmonizer pedals. Instrument, genre, & technology are pushed to failure. The resulting spooky action at a distance darts around in the margins of what's possible, erratic in sentiment & aesthetic
Les Couleurs Du Prisme, La Mecanique Du Temps
The Colours of the Prism, the Mechanics of Time. A film by Jacqueline Caux. From John Cage to Techno, through minimalism and post-modernism.

Der Italienische manierismus
Limited to 300 copies. 'A certain line of thinking and feeling that runs from the hermetic and mannerist times from the dusk of the renaissance through the unfolding of the baroque has been very influential for me in the past few years and seems to resurface in this collection of pieces. Conceptual frameworks here are often wrapped in luscious drapery as in the case of Rosso or It is an island while compositions proceed by elongated proportions, highly stylized poses and allegoric artific…
