Shadow Machine
Shadow Machine is the first CD by Tom Hamilton and Bruce Eisenbeil, who began playing music together in 2007. Coherence without predictability, speed without tempo, direction without a roadmap - an unlikely foray into the world of out-jazz and free improvisation.
It's a duo that thwarts expectations of its specific instrumentation. The artists hybridize the language of electronic sound through Eisenbeil's guitar and Hamilton's virtual analog synthesizer, and the live-in-the-studio tracks insure …
Trios
Trios is a collaboration between five musicians, over time, and over space. It combines instrumental and electronic improvisation with non-real-time computer processing and editing. Chris Mann, Douglas Repetto, and Larry Polansky recorded several hours of live improvised material in one session. Months later Repetto, Polansky, and Christian Wolff recorded some more.
The recordings were then sent off to Tom Erbe, who culled interesting sections from both sessions and then processed, edited, and m…
Talking Drum
Binaural motion recordings composed as a dialogue of distances. Live recordings of music for electronic network music ensemble juxtaposed with location recordings of traditional music and environmental soundscapes. Made in Bali, the Philippines, Turkey, Europe, Cuba and America 1991-99. - Chris Brown
Canopies + Cathedrals
Canopies : A roof-like covering of trees enclosing a large or wide natural space. Cathedral : ;Large edifice usually of stone, enclosing space reserved for spiritual contemplation. Vertical structures that strive for light and open spaces, defying gravity, and reason.
A Tarkosvsky-esque transcendence of spirit and nature, time imprinted on an intertwining of sap and stone, branch and pillar, column, and trunk.
This third MPM release is co-written by Phil and Jackson Mouldycliff, with studio trea…
Widdershins
A new CD of a live performance by these two talented improvisers. The interplay between them is, to use a cliche, telepathic. Whilst it's often difficult to figure out who is doing what, the gelling of the sounds is perfect, going from meditative to intense, smooth to harsh (but not abrasive). Improvisation at it's best - highly recommended! REVIEW by Frans de Waard, Vital Weekly : The biggest surprise here is not the music but the label. I would expect such fine talents in improvised music to f…
Dies Irae
**Limited Edition of 60 numbered copies ** Paul Chain’s 1994 experimental album. "There are sections of familiar guitarplay included as well as the standard hammond organ, but still all metal/rock fans should be warned that this is mostly an electronica/industrial release. The mood of the album varies between lamentation and insane anxiety. In particular, ‘Prescence Of The Soul’s Forest’ is utterly disturbed and the vocals of Sandra Silver is what makes the most impact. There are no lyrics at al…
Connecters Vol. 1: Original Recordings, 1992–1999
Larrison’s Connecters Vol. 1: Original Recordings, 1992–1999 rescues a lone CZ‑5000 and one quietly obsessive mind from cassette oblivion, revealing 26 miniatures where lo‑fi space‑age pop, DIY synth craft and daydream cinema gently fold into each other.
Ambienti Elettroacustici
Harmograph is a project by and with Matteo Scaioli. He summarized his latest research on sound by building various electromechanical instruments, one of which he called the "Harmograph", which gives the name to his whole project. Harmograph is basically a gong remodeled with a unique sound. Scaioli blends the sound of the Harmograph with other self-made instruments including Melodon's Voice, Phonograph Tape, Dhin "Tan" Pathè, and finally his favorite synth: the Prophet 5. Matteo Scaioli - being …
Seismo
A shiver of mischievous vocal snippets, disorienting rhythms and collapsing sonic architectures, upsammy and Valentina Magaletti’s first collaborative album prioritizes motion, modulation and variance. The seeds of ‘Seismo’ were sown following a commission from Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum to soundtrack an exhibition of work from the Museum Boijmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam and the duo didn’t want to approach their collaboration flippantly. So, wandering the museum’s maze of rooms, they recorded va…
Or So It Seems (LP)
Original 1983 UK edition on Mute of the sole album by the industrial/synthpop project by Wire/Dome's Gilbert and Lewis with Daniel Miller.
Hometown Girl
Groggy, engrossing new work from Ulla under their newly minted U.e. tag, riffing to the sublime on a set of (mostly) acoustic reveries that tap into the kind of smokey vapours favoured by the likes of Vincent Gallo, Voice Actor, Jonnine. Oh aye, it’s a special one.

Take me, I’m yours
On Take Me, I’m Yours, Alan Abrahams and Jan Jelinek dissolve the border between song and sound design: multi‑layered vocal sketches are stripped of harmony and beat, re‑sculpted into fragile, pulsing landscapes where house‑born emotion drifts through Jelinek’s grainy abstractions.
Oblivion Seekers
On Oblivion Seekers, Ben Vida turns everyday speech into a glowing maze: neutral‑toned duets, drifting chamber textures and collaged overheard phrases dissolve meaning and sound into one long, entrancing mantra of language in motion.
XIBIPIIO. In And Out Of Experience
