Oceans Of Milk And Treacle
From Mike Cooper ‘This is a soundtrack for an otherwise silent film. The title of the album, and of course the film, is borrowed from my late friend Fred Hardy’s book The Religious Culture of India - Power, Love and Wisdom, considered to be one of the most important books on the subject. In this book Fred wrote...“In 1835 the historian Macaulay investigated whether there was anything in the traditional Indian systems of learning and education that could be used in the training of native personne…

All Skies Have Sounded
Heavy cardboard mini-gatefold CD. "Gonzen, uminari or retumbos. Perhaps you've heard these sounds? They're known to occur all over the world and, as one might expect, humans have strained to offer various explanations for these unsettling emissions that materialize unbidden from the sky. We like to say that we've understood what's happening so that we can move on. Tidy up the loose ends and don't scare the horses. Nothing wrong with that in good measure, but there's something to be said for the …

Long-term Memory
* Edition of 100 * Joshua Stefane aka Endurance, one of the operators of Muzan Editions, is working extremely productively and inspired this year. Not only in a curatorial sense, but also as a producer. In this role, he adds ideas from Sound Art, Ambient and Electronica to sound spaces that continue Kankyō Ongaku, the Japanese environmental music of the eighties and nineties, as well as a very current understanding of the environment, ambient and drone, as it has become in the sound Solastalgia …
Summer Breeze
* Edition of 100 * Wouter Jaspers returns to Muzan with his long time collaborator and friend Steffan de Turck as Preliminary Saturation. Summer Breeze is an ambient-noise album that lives up to its name for just how pleasurable it is to listen to. The music box melody that provides the main theme for “across the floor” functions as a soft counterpoint to the noises and drones that pulse and slide beneath it, evoking images of sunlight and slow stretching shadows. “the house next door” strikes a…

In this Reverse Diverse, the artist combines sounds and musical o…

The whole story of the Monster of Florence is one of them. It is impossible not to get entangled or at least to be captured by it, if one delves into its pages of far-fetched features and t…
