Armaghedon
Ultra limited LP re-edition, handsigned copies....like most of Maurizio Bianchi's fascinating works, "Armaghedon" is turned to noisy, long minimal sonic dreamscapes, including physical addictive sounds.

Try to imagine something between "Phaedra" most intellectual, hallucinatory sequences, the destructive, destructured sounds of Whitehouse and the sac…

Bounced Check
Wally Shoup, Chris Corsano and Paul Flaherty make up this screamin' free punk jazz liquid solid noize trio captured LIVE 'in your face' style in Seattle, WA. Totally improvised double sax and drum explosions that break down into duos and solos and re-ignite as trio howlin' paint splattered madness gone butt-naked wilder. Recorded at an art gallery with artwork melting off the walls and frightened fans nervously mopping their furrowed blood-stained brows (they were especially afraid one or both o…
Blue eyes are my reward
Jawdropping new collection of crop circles etched in sonic candy-floss by New Zealand’s beardsmith / noise-farmer Campbell Kneale. Rated by the horses mouth as the best thing he ever made, EVER, ‘Blue Eyes Are My Reward’ shimmers like an icicle-clad forest resplendent in its own crystalline magnificence. Snakecharming groove, dublike boomph, and bleary eyed strum blast the path out of a decidedly greying world of so-so metalized myspace drone, into a miniaturized drone-prairie of superpow…

M. on X
'In the world of Brussels hip hop L.E.G. are outsiders, noted for their experimental music influences and use of distorted English-language vocals. Producers Sublyme Diagonal and Roger3000 continuously and independently recycle their collective work in which Citizen Ledge finds his inspiration, recounting his doubts about the future of the world and personal existential abyss. The six unedited tracks on this cassette were recorded between 2005 and 2010.' label info
untitled, (magnetisms)
First collaborative project between Pierre Gerard (Belgium) and Andy Graydon (Germany/USA). Invited by winds measure to produce a work for cassette tape, the two artists focused on the the particular materiality of this sound technology, once so common and now so rare. Tape's manipulation of a magnetic field evoked other sorts of sensitive magnetic systems, from the intuitive navigation of migratory birds to the organization of the earth's polarity. Starting from this idea of polarity and homewa…
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…

Sinus
A simple synthetic-based, sine wave-generating freeware program was used as a sound source for creating single pulses and long static tones in several different tonal pitches. No additional sound design or other analog or digital processing was used during the creation of the sounds. The single sound elements were layered and sequenced into different movements of varying shapes and colors, focusing on the pure essence and aesthetics of sound. Each track interweaves longer, stretched, tonal…
Omissions
Simple and elegant the music of Jonhatan Borges' project needs concentration, both to be played and listened. It simply concerns repetitive and extatic tape loops that don't need nothing more than the simple repetition. You'll find yourself waiting, with the ear tense to discover a subtle change, a single touch that worth the whole record.Edition of 100
