Victoriaville Mai 2011
*2022 stock* A collaboration of the legendary Richard Pinhas (of Heldon fame) and Japanese noise artist Merzbow would be worthy of note. Add in Wolf Eyes, the trio of Mike Connelly, John Olson, and Nathan Young, and you have the potential for a truly chaotic sonic assault. But that doesn’t happen. Instead, this quintet provides a symphonic soundscape that maintains a slow boil.
Recorded live at FIMAV 2011, the release consists of a 48-minute performance, followed by a 9-minute encore. Unlike som…
Electric Fluxus
* Limited edition of 150 copies * The audiomaterial for ‚Electric Fluxus‘ was recorded at Eberhard Kranemann’s studio ‚Kunsthaus Boltenberg‘ in summer 2021. The duo produced several hours of music during intense interactive sessions that were later selected and edited by Pharmakustik. Soundwise ‚Electric Fluxus‘ can be characterized as mindexpanding audio-landscape, continously morphing and progressing…ranging from calm psychoacoustic segments to more dramatic tunnels of eruptive interactions in…

I Morti Possono Aspettare
*120 copies limited edition* Between the '60s and the '80s the production of pulp magazines in Italy was flourishing and incredibly varied: every month hundreds of paperbacks containing strange, adventurous or more often terrifying stories came out on the newsstands. Among the most popular italian pulp magazines was the horror series "I Racconti di Dracula" (Tales of Dracula) published by Baron Cantarella: each issue of "I Racconti di Dracula" contained a grim and disturbing story, inspired by I…

Warpland
*120 copies limited edition* "A war, the only war ever fought, devastated the world. The wise and advanced Eloi used their technology to try to defeat the furious Morlocks army. This confrontation devastated the world until it was unrecognizable. Until powerful crystals were shattered and their power began to stain all that existed. Until an disturbing maelstrom engulfed the sky. Reality changed profoundly, in the very essence of things. Neither side dared to claim victory; the former were tortu…
The EC Band
The EC Band is a collaboration between American Brussels-based painter, former grindcore singer and musician Luke Calzonetti and Belgian visual artist, performer and percussionist Stijn Wybouw. Their first EC Band outing sees them conjure up four transcendent tracks driven by improvisation. The instruments used and the way the EC Band naturally and fluidly edit their musical output, make for flickers of musical mirages, infusing everything with a sense of space and abstraction. On the edge of wh…

GRM [Generators] Parts 1 & 2
In process of stocking Fractal head rearrangement from Keith Fullerton Whitman on his first vinyl release in what feels like years, here blessing Japan’s Nakid label with a new instalment in his forever-evolving Generators project, arcing from bleeping post-Kosmische sounds into completely unexpected drum mutations in footwork and grime modes. It’s properly head melting gear that links the algorithmic mind-fukkery of Laurie Spiegel with the floor-bending rhythmic experimentation of Mark Fell, Ri…

Surface of the Earth
Since its release in 1996, Surface of the Earth's self-titled first album has gradually been recognized as an unlikely minimalist masterpiece and one of the key albums to emerge from New Zealand’s 1990’s Free Noise movement. Liberated from tonal and structural convention, yet also embracing elements of drone and ambient music, the Wellington trio created an album that defied easy categorization. It has been called "one of the most important albums to ever drag the subterranean vibe of unending d…

The Maze
*2022 stock* The Maze is a map of different territories I covered in my recent travels. But the mapped territories are not contiguous: I am the tunnel that links these places and times, I am the border that keeps them together. Now, a geographer who makes a map doesn't make a survey: these are two different things. The survey - the gathering - comes first, but the mapping process includes several subsequent steps: scaling, removing, enhancing, and adding. Scale allows to grasp a large territory …
Over The Edges
*2022 stock* Andrew Chalk's Over the Edges was recorded in one day at Colin Potter's studio, using only two strings of an acoustic guitar played with an E-Bow. The results belie the simple sources, and the album is a rich drone texture which draws the listener into its sound world. All four tracks share a common language, a slightly buzzing, gently undulating drone in a lower register, often layered until the pitches grow together. But each track also has noticeable differences from the others. …
Sometimes underwater (feels like home)
Interdisciplinary artist and performer A Space for Sound's latest offering for Commend There, Sometimes underwater (feels like home), is an emotional release that enchants with its otherworldly tranquility. Drawing from a theme of water dealt with extensively across earlier works, the Brooklyn-based artist, real name Rena Anakwe, evokes images of misty rain, burbling ravines and the great depths of the ocean in her latest project. Composed over the course of two days on Anakwe's apartment floor,…
