Radio Imitat
The piece “Radio-Imitat (Radio Imitation)” by the German artists and musicians collective Insitut fuer Feinmotorik was produced in 2009 for the monthly radio show “Radio Arthur” on Radio LoRa. In addition to its reconstruction of advertising, music and jingles, imaginative room is also made available for talk and discussion. A facsimile of radio is thus painstakingly manufactured, as if by someone who for cared very much less for sense and signification than they did for the weird flow of sound …
Random Shades of Day
Beautiful triple CD set from Fabio Orsi who has been winning the hearts of many listeners over the past few years with both his solo and collaboration releases.

The Furthest Shore
Berlin based italian musician Claudio Rocchetti is on his first massive work, a long concept on vojages, sailor and explorers. Musically this is reflected on four cassettes wich, althought different from each other, are strongly connected. The Furthest Shore develop between live improvvisations, acoustic pieces, slices of field recordings and an obscure submarine collaboration with percussionist Klaus Janek. All has flavour of adventure, between the scare for a stormy night in the seas and…

Continuing their work to develop an improvised chamber music with an emphasis on sonic experimentation and ensemble character, the ensemble delivers a darker and more fragile album. More open to explore the particulars in each piece, the ensemble see…

Snow Blind
RESTOCKED!! Limited to 300 copies only "We haven't heard from New Zealand dronescaper Peter Wright in about a year. Well, it's been at least that long since we've reviewed one of his discs. Somehow two other Wright discs slipped through the cracks in that time though, which is a shame, since pretty much everything we've heard from Wright is fantastic. This latest double disc is no different Nine looooooong tracks spread out over two discs, most in the 15-20 minute range, which is ideal for Wrigh…
Chasm Achanes

Parmalee, Tribute To A Dog
the follow-up to eyes like saucers' _still living in the desert..._ and the aan/e.l.s. collaboration, _kristallivirta_. oddly evocative of early folkways and nonesuch "field recordings,"_parmalee..._ explores the potentialities of autistic, automatic-composition through the employment of relatively primitive acoustic instrumentation and primitive electronics (homemade oscillators, fuzz, and casiotone). the resulting product is a unique foray into structurally defiant, yet intrinsically organic e…
In A Place Of Such Graceful Shapes
"In the fading days of autumn in 2010, Taylor Deupree and Marcus Fischer, having become acquainted only earlier that year, set out on the sort of cross-country collaboration typically executed via technology and the web. However, having made a few rough sketches, they became disenchanted by the Internet and the machines between them, and quickly realized that the only way forward was via a plane ticket. Marcus left Portland for New York in February of 2011. The two met face-to-face for th…

Terre Paroxysm
Terre Paroxysm is Daniel Menche's second release for Utech Records and a continuation in his bringing back the vehement nature of sound. A pure acoustic-electronic recording of storms: wind, ice and rain. The field recordings were captured by Menche and densely mixed and treated in a manner to create a sense of the earth sleeping then cracking open with violent emotion. An air of electronics crackles and slides around the storm recordings in a way that only can be described as acoustic-electro. …
Regolelettroniche
Italians Maurizio Bianchi and Emanuela De Angelis have a generation between them, but that does not prevent them from delivering their first collaboration entitled "Regolelettroniche".However, to get there, they had to agree on a few rules, alluded to in titles such as "Earthly Principle" and "Cosmic Norms", and through these "rulelectronics" credited to both of them.That being said, these rules are left unexplained; listeners can discover them on their own when they experience this drone-based …
