Water Angels
** 300 copies only ** A major part of Katalin Ladik’s work was associated with vocal and instrumental music, although she had no particular music qualifications, nor was she an ‘amateur musician’, but rather a phenomenon of music excesses and voice miracles, combining music, theatre and poetry. Her music essentially addresses relations between sound and woman’s body. It was the music of a female body and its motions, transformation, action and expression: when she produced sounds with her body a…

Musik Der 60. Aktion, Berlin 1978 / Musik Für Rita Nitsch Geburtstag
1996 release. A prime example of the intense & noisy wildness of Hermann Nitsch’s early actions employing scream-choirs, beating, whistles, chaotic austrian folklore juxtapositions, rough brass sections and dissonant strings
La Convenzione / Paranoia (7")
* 2021 Stock. * Pollution from 1972 is the captivating follow-up to Fetus. Like its predecessor, the album features Baroque textures, motorik rhythms, weird tape effects and Franco Battiato’s perfectly oblique vocals, with a minimalist sound mainly based on the use of a VCS3 synth, unusual lyrics, complex arrangements: upon hearing Pollution, Frank Zappa joyfully proclaimed it “genius.” While Battiato’s core group of collaborators remains largely the same as on his debut, this phenomenal band (j…

Cluster 71 is a monster: the debut work from the year 1971 (actually just called Cluster) conta…

MO_RO_20 (20 Years Of Music For Marcel Odenbach)
Richard Ojijo’s music for the films of german video artist Marcel Odenbach not only underscores and accentuates the imagery and motion, but also serves to propel the narrative too. The compositions are auditory distillations of the visual and create a synergy between music and image that draws the observer ever deeper.
With Odenbach’s and Ojijo’s collaboration now entering its 3rd decade, Ojijo was recently inspired to revisit and remix some of the themes contained within the extensive body of …
Myth Of The Drum. Urban Transformation (LP)

The idea for Myth Of The Drum. Urban Transformation dates from an art exhibition in Istanbul 2017 where Fahrettin Aykut exhibited an installation called "Urvban Transformation" that combined painting and music, dealing with the relation …
Salmon Run
Salmon Run (Kye, 2007) is an exercise in listening, a contemplation of the sounds that permeate everyday life. In Salmon Run, available now on LP for the first time, Graham Lambkin's field recordings are profoundly democratic, collecting bits of classical music playing in the background, remnants of domestic routines and childrearing, and bird calls, chimes, and rushing water alike. The resulting fragments, manipulated and assembled by Lambkin, form a strikingly intimate sonic assemblage -- an e…
Amateur Doubles
Taped largely in a Honda Civic, Amateur Doubles (Kye, 2011) is a portrait of an oft-overlooked domestic stage: the car. Graham Lambkin captures the sounds of a family in-motion as they fiddle with windows, play with toys, bicker, pass traffic, and listen, as the song titles note, to French prog artists Besombes/Rizet and Philippe Grancher. While the set-up at first appears simple -- a car ride taken by the artist and his family through upstate New York -- Lambkin subtly and slyly manipulates the…

Poem (For Voice & Tape)
"I made the basic recordings of Tim Goss's voice during a recent return trip to England. Despite some initial reservations Tim ended up giving an animated and robust reading, drawn exclusively from work of his own creation. These tapes were then transported back to Poughkeepsie, NY, where the project was teased to completion." (Original LP sleeve notes)
Softly Softly Copy Copy
A study in anticipation, Softly Softly Copy Copy (Kye, 2009) repurposes the expectant rumblings of an audience-in-waiting, lifted by Graham Lambkin from various concert recordings of the German kosmische band Tangerine Dream. These bootlegged clips provide a skeleton for various sonic scraps and interludes—including distorted and abandoned fragments from Lambkin’s archive, new recordings on guitar and violin by Austin Argentieri and Samara Lubelski, respectively—that, together, form a compositio…

* 2-Sided hand cut 10" Mono lathe recording on lacquer with laser etching. Full color archival pigment print sleeve and insert. * Cutting Groove (gummy bears/swedish fish) tracks Lary 7 and Leif Elggren’s experiments with a 1940’s Presto lathe. As the cutting head carves their conversation into plastic discs; they meditate, over bottles of wine, on the multi-colored “gummy” strands gathering on the spinning platter. On the flipside, Leif Elggren recites an excerpt from his 2005 work “Geneaology”…
