Edition of 300, don't miss this one! Ernstalbrecht Stiebler (b. 1934) is a German composer of minimalist and reductionist contemporary music. Since the early 1960s, he has been developing a unique compositional style that draws on minimalist structures and repetitions, though not in any way related to the so-called Minimal Music, but rather influenced by Minimalism in visual art and characterized by long static tones that slowly change and evolve over the course of a piece.Stiebler has composed …

Acceptance Is Not Respect
Ramleh's Gary Mundy has been rather prolific in recent years with his solo Kleistwahr
project. As with his main concern, there's a deep-seated interest in
pushing the parameters where certain sonics can fall into a seismic
vortex of sheer overload yet remain tethered to a knowing sensibility

incredible This World Is Not My Home album in 2014 Kleistwahr has
embarked on a single-handed mission to not only take such possi…

Cloîtrez Et Tuez Vous Tous
2017 Edition. With Cloitrez Et Tuez Vous Tous, Vomir aims to return to the most basic essence regarding his identity as a Harsh Noise Wall practitioner.
