Primordial Lift
Primordial Lift was originally released in 2000 and is a recording of a performance Oliveros made with David Grubbs on Harmonium and Tony Conrad on electric violin among others. Of course, the result is transcendent and throws your mind across the room – thick waves of sound and dense drones surround you as you listen and the instruments become one wall of pulsating sound. Some of you might know Oliveros from her minimalist work with the Deep Listening Band, which she founded – this material how…
Memory Makes Noise
2006 release ** "With this release by Small Voices, Gianluca Becuzzi (ex-Limbo), for the first time, presents his work under his birth name, confining the aka Kinetix as an extension of his name. "Memory Makes Noise" is an important passage in the long carreer of our Tuscan sound-artist, projecting him to the achievement of his own creative dimension. Left the cold digital aesthetic, Gianluca Becuzzi, is focusing his re-search on electro-acoustic sounds, livening "Memory Makes Noise" with throbb…
Esperanto
2006 release ** "On their second album, the Italian duo formed by Enrico Marani (Le Forbici di Manitù) and Fabrizio Tavernelli (ex Afa) – dedicated to an avant-garde electronics that is not sung, but rather recited – continues to explore new languages suited to enhancing interpersonal communication and the representation of reality in all its modern complexity, without simplifications or trivializations. The album features a long list of guests, who contribute in varying degrees: there is Mass…
White Rooms
2005 release ** Since 1999, Kinetix is Gianluca Becuzzi, electronic composer and sound artist active since the first half of the 80’s. He writes: “The artistic production of Kinetixis characterised by a strong experimental imprint, by the interest into the expressive possibilities offered by the digital technologies and by a clear aesthetic inclination towards minimalist forms and micro noises/sounds.” (from the website) Really, the music sounds like a study about a representational work of mini…
Essence Of 3EEM
2004 release ** 3"The different musical experiences of the individual members are evidence of the promiscuity put into play. Valerio Zucca (aka Abstract Q) and Fabrizio Buzzoni, respectively on electronics and guitar, grew up musically in the 80s with the crossover band Nasty Nurses, influenced by Faith No More and Naked City. Zucca will go through the most diverse experiences, from the psychedelia of Disoriente, to the jungle-ambient duo Abstract Quadrant, also active in the cinematographic fie…
Twilight Rituals
2003 release ** "T.A.C. is a group of sonic alchemists who fuse synthetics, strings, acoustic instruments and treatments into a tapestry of psycho/ambient soundscapes filled with hypnotic atmospheres and synthetic incantations. It is surreal, cerebral and unique "cosmic" music of a new sort. T.R. was recorded in the same sessions of "Waiting for the Twilight" and include 14 new exclusive tracks..., a sort of "Waiting..." twin album."Twilight Rituals" is the complementary twin album to "Waiting F…
Waiting For The Twilight
2002 release ** "T.A.C. is a group of sonic alchemists who fuse synthetics, strings, acoustic instruments and treatments into a tapestry of psycho/ambient soundscapes filled with hypnotic atmospheres and synthetic incantations. It is surreal, cerebral and unique "cosmic" music of a new sort. "Waiting for the Twilight" announces the return of T.A.C. after five years from their previous release "Apotropaismo". After a long time of hibernating sleep, this unforgetted experienced italian band is bac…
Enso
2007 release ** "Although the cover art for Enso is strikingly similar to recent 12k releases, there the similarity ends. With Enso, Luigi Turra has conjured up an organic and contemplative three-track epic, that resonates on subsequent listenings. Infused with Japanese sonic architectures and rigorous reductionist principles, this is a deeply meditative world of gently plucked instruments, and faded atmospherics, peppered with closely focussed tinklings and crystalline shards to add texture. Be…
Robbed
2007 release ** "This new Goem release is a solo work by Roel Meelkop (this time without Frans de Waard and Peter Duimelinks). The source material is an anonymous CD, whose samples are used for these eight tracks. The result is a combination of rhythmic patterns with minimalistic passages, strange loops, repetitive elements. Therefore, an interesting episode into Goem’s production, quite different from early releases of the trio, maybe preluding an evolution in its music."
Muddy speaking Ghosts through my Machines
2006 release ** Muddy Speaking Ghosts Through My Machines' is the brand new album released together by Fabio Orsi and Gianluca Becuzzi. This album will be certainly followed by other cooperations, considering the big friendly artistic sodality between them. Fabio e Gianluca are a strange duo, considering the big differences of their artistic back-ground. Fabio Orsi is a young and unexpected talent. After his first album, "Osci" (LP, SmallVoices 2005), produced by Gianluca Becuzzi, he got a lot o…

The last time Harth and Müller met was in 1987 as part of a quintet at the Festival Willisau, including Andres Bosshard, Phil Minton and Sonny Sharrock. Exactly 20 years later, Alfred Harth, now based in Seoul, South Korea, asked Günter Müller to do some recordings on a visit to Switzerland while traveling in Germany and Italy. Several days before, Harth recorded with Hans Joachim Irml…
Sparks
2007 release** "«Sparks», like the marconimen who occupied radio stations on ships at the beginning of the twentieth century. And this extraordinary album was essentially born on the radio, in the well-deserving Rai studios of Audiobox in 1995. Brooded over for over ten years, contaminated by subsequent experiences, these sound materials now return on CD, in a sedimented and coherent object, where cultured experimentation goes hand in hand with Central European popular music and new ethnic cross…

Soundscapes Of The Inner Eye
Soundscapes of the Inner Eye is the debut by Belgian experimental collective Noise-Maker's Fifes, released in 1995 on NMT Productions (NMT CD-01).
Formed in 1990 by Geert Feytons and Timo van Luijk, the project blends improvised music from self-made instruments, electronics, effects, and environmental recordings to craft atmospheric soundscapes. Tracks were recorded and mixed on 4-track in Amsterdam during 1992-1993, capturing their early ambient/industrial style.
Noise-Maker's Fifes evolved int…
After Dinner Black Out
2007 release ** Limited edition of 106 hand-numbered copies. "'After Dinner Black Out' is the debut of Italian musician Donato Epiro, is a nearly 20 minute experiment in sound collage. A single track, the composition is made of several pieces of music and found sound, each cut to a reasonable length of no shorter than 30 seconds and up to five minutes. Like Luc Ferrari's compositional musique concrète, the sounds are intimately related, though not necessarily by timbre, tone, or anything else ap…
Wind Shadows
The music on these CDs takes us into a new realm of music making, one that Alvin Lucier has defined for us and one that demands that we start to listen anew. His work has been more often described in terms of science than of art as if it were a series of quasi-scientific experiments, but to put the emphasis here is to miss the point, for its purpose is never “explanatory” (the goal of science) but, like all art, “revelatory.” This is not to suggest that the composer has some spiritual agenda in …
Film Music
Ussachevsky was one of the most significant pioneers in the compositon of electronic music, and one of its most potent forces. He produced the first works of “tape music,” a uniquely American synthesis of the French musique-concrète and the German pure electronic schools. He co-founded the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center in 1959 and directed its course for the next twenty years as the leading electronic music studio in the United States. This release couples two of his most powerful a…
Woe Ye Demons Possessed
LP reissue. Self-described as "...a cosmic rock relaxation creation to elevate sensory awareness to include the aura of intuitive perception of higher realm of human/divine consciousness using the astral body projection experience vehicle to pierce time/space/logic dimension barriers on the return voyage to the ultimate concept." On Steven Stapleton's Nurse With Wound list, of course. Moolah was comprised of two youths from New York, Walter Burns and Maurice Roberson. This revolutionary psyched…
