Casual Collisions
Casual Collisions is a collaborative album by two of the most prominent voices in experimental sound, Aaron Dilloway and Jeph Jerman. Recorded in 2013 and originally self-released on CDR by Jerman in a small edition, New Forces and White Centipede Noise are pleased to make these recordings widely available for the first time. Across four tracks the unique voices of these artists meld seamlessly together. Jerman’s tactile, physical sounds are wrapped up in Dilloway’s magnetic wizardry. Damaged el…
A Heart From Your Shadow
Michael Beharie (New York) and Teddy Rankin-Parker (Chicago) first met more than 10 years ago while attending Oberlin College. Since graduating, Beharie and Rankin-Parker each veered into markedly different avenues. In addition to a consistent output of solo releases on NYC-label Astro Nautico, Beharie also recently joined up with the ever-confounding New York ensemble Zs (Northern Spy, The Social Registry, Troubleman Unlimited), recently performed on albums by Laurel Halo, Greg Fox & Colin Self…
Giunti
Tip! ** 15 copies * Cristiano Carosi Live recordings from July 2021, affresco for magnetic tapes and FM synthesis melting the abstract with the surreal with the chant of the seagulls
Meccanismi
Tip! ** 33 copies * Cristiano Carosi on tapes and samples, Devid Ciampalini on FM synthesizer and sequencer; each shape rolls into the next one with no previous plan, like skipping from a radio station to the other during a 40 minutes travel on the highway to planet earth year xxxx.

Album 1520
Tip! ** 33 copies * Cymbls's Collection of tracks spanning from 2015 to 2020. Recorded with analogue and FM synthesizers, drum machines, vocal samples, electric guitar, magnetic tapes and no hierarchies, mixing was close to the zero, shaping the sound is the sole purpose here. The result is a wild garden populated by shapes of surreal colours and species, previously unseen and strangely familiar. All sessions recorded on a 4 tracks tape recorder with no computer reprocessing
Oslo 20.02.2020 (LP)
Argentinian maverick improviser Anla Courtis (Reynols) teaming up with Norwegian multidiciplinary vikings Lasse Marhaug and Jon Wesseltoft. All experienced players and collaborators in various constellations, but never before as a trio. When Courtis passed by Oslo in February 2020 and did these recordings, little did they all know that just weeks later the whole world would shut down and there would be a long delay until next time they would meet up under any circumstations. Courtis barely made …
Cybernetic Defiance and Orgasm (2LP)
Henry Kawahara has been called “the Jon Hassell of Japan”, but upon closer inspection one finds that his work operates on very different terms. Like Hosono's forays into computerized Ryukyu folk “sightseeing music” or Tsutomu Ōhashi's Ecophony trilogy, Kawahara's world projected ancient musical traditions and notions of cultural identity onto the modern digital plane through a fusion of cybernetic thinking and pan-asian cultural introspection that makes Western attempts to do the same seem quain…
For Kounellis
The music on this recording was initiated when Grazia and Gianni Bolongaro, owners of La Marrana di Montemarcello asked me to record the sounds of Jannis Kounellis’ installation and make a piece in response. Kounellis’ untitled installation comprises 23 large church bells that appear to spiral out from a cylindrical chamber rooted in the Earth’s core. I was struck by the intensity of this chorus of silent tongues, facing the sky and projecting a colossal resonance that is felt but is not heard. …
Dubs Pour Oh La La
Not a lockdown record here: With 'Comité Hypnotisé' Tim Vanhamel (Millionaire, Evil Superstars...) tumbles into a subsonic wormhole where smoked out dub glues with boogie funk and off-kiltered early hip hop vibes. Transcending frequencies from an unknown galaxy channeled through a broken 70’s echo deck. Shortly after Evil Superstars played a one off concert for ‘An Evening With Laika’ in the Ancienne Belgique in 2013 Tim started to create the music which was the entering point of ‘Dubs Pour Oh …

Sonance for the Precession
The electroacoustic composition Sonance for the Precession was commissioned by Williams College Museum of Art (WCMA). The piece furthers Neil Leonard's practice in large scale sound installation, with recent commissions by documenta, Venice Biennale, and Fujiko Nakaya of Experiments in Art at Technology. The original composition, created for the quad adjacent to WCMA, played from the dome of the historic Hopkins Observatory, the oldest working astronomical observatory in the United States. The …
Tape Works, Vol. 1
** 2021 Stock ** New from Langham Research Centre, Tape Works Vol. 1 stands alone as a collection of modern musique concrète.

** Numbered edition of 250 copies. Transparent Blue Vinyl ** Cold crushed electronics and tape noise by Ideal faithful, Altar of Flies, returning to his native Swedish label with a 3rd album of possessed and unsettling tonal abstraction and psychoacoustic isolationism.

Work Ethics
White Centipede Noise presents Work Ethics by Altar of Flies. A new album recorded in summer of 2020, marking a fresh phase of creativity and passion from this virtuosic artist. An eclectic assortment of bumping, scratching, fluttering sounds blend seamlessly together with his signature heavy tape manipulations. The melancholic and emotionally charged elements found on many Altar of Flies releases are less present here, creating a more ambiguous dry atmosphere, as if sitting wide awake in the ey…
Signaler
Clamor from inside the earth as it's being excavated, punctured, deconsecrated. Sputtering and whirring of failing machinery. Menacing layers of magnetic decay, iron turned to dust through the erosion of repetition. The amplified obscenity of the mundane, the indelicate hunger of a gravitational hollow. Separated from the comforts of familiarity by a thick, lusterless film. Signaler can be all of these things and more. A new album from Mattias Gustafsson's long-running Altar of Flies project, ho…
