Out of stock

Terra Incognita is a documentation of Antoine Chessex's live stuff recorded in Berlin and in Asia. 2 sax / electronics blasts, capturing as much as possible of Antoine’s live energy and atmosphere. Harsh Noise pieces with only very little recognizable sax-playing. Comes in a nice fold-out cover with full colour artwork inside. The record is basically a 12″ on one side and a 7″ on the other.

Striked accidentally to do a 1sided LP of Antoine's work a couple of months ago. Turned out to be no more no less but a documentation of recent live stuff recorded in Berlin and in Asia. 2 sax-electronics blasts and a more frequency like one capturing as much as possible of Antoine's live energy and atmosphere. While working on it we found a mutual interest in ancient and medieval maps therefore is housed as such As if you are opening a map and start examining an unknown sound origin that lies in front of you with all its known, unknown, hidden or not places Simply play loud and get sucked into it!
