Occam Ocean Vol. 1
**Mindblowing edition, comes with a 40 page booklet** What can be said about Éliane Radigue? International treasure? Sonic saint? The most important composer living today?

Contraband
Fabio Frizzi’s score to the 1980 Lucio Fulci thriller Contraband is surely one on the Maestro’s funkiest excursions record for Lucio Fulco. The main theme is a wonderful melody that is reprised throughout the score with a suitable touch of melodrama. Frizzi’s talent for catchy tunes is always apparent, whether it includes the stereotypical wah-wah pedal effects or some grooving slap bass.Kept modern by mixing traditional orchestral elements with electric guitar and a wailing sax, there’s …
And On The Seventh Day Petals Fell In Petaluma
The history of American avant-garde music is a snarled knot, twisting through the decades, spanning genre, practice, and approach. Most narratives plant its origins within the post-war period, orbiting around John Cage, Morton Feldman, and those artists springing from the movements of Fluxus and free-jazz. American creative innovation issued unquestionable influence over the later half of 20th century, but the root of its radicalism was earlier, with its origins often misplaced. Rather growing f…
Rodhaette/Ruinmusik
Two previously unreleased works from the late Danish composer, musician, publisher, artist, and Fluxus actionist Henning Christiansen. "Rødhætte" (1985) is a rendition of Little Red Riding Hood featuring Ursula Reuter Christiansen as narrator. All the hallmarks of Henning's unique approach to music/sound appear as the tale goes deeper into the depths of animalistic frenzy. "Ruinmusic" (1984) inhabits the last breath off the piano housed within the former Marienborg Manor. Prior to the destru…

You Are My Everlovin'
CD Edition, temporary offer Philosopher, musician and anti-art activist, Henry Flynt has long foregone the academicism often associated with "serious music" in favor of a uniquely intuitive, emotional approach to composition.

You Are My Everlovin', Flynt's first published musical work, finds the composer in peak form at…
Apart
Apart is a mini-album containing a set of cello improvisations, conceived during days of solemn recording in the basement of an unused industrial space outside of Bern, Switzerland.

Knive
Miasmah present a reissue of Svarte Greiner's debut album Knive, originally released on Type in 2006. 11 years since its inception, the surreal and darkly romantic Knive still sounds like a mystery and something that's hard to pin down.

Spiritual, horrific, and fragile in essence, its melancholic core is hard to shake off, and feels as present today as it did ba…

The variations were made by playback of the original artist records on a turntable of Brinkmann's design, which has two tone arms with separate outputs for left and right channels. The turntables were then pi…
