Blue Plum Bloom
*150 copies limited edition* Blue Plum Bloom is the debut album from the improvising trio of David Brown (prepared guitar, electronics), Tony Buck (drums, percussion) and Magda Mayas (piano, objects). The trio is an expansion of Buck (The Necks) and Mayas' long-time Berlin-based duo, Spill, but with the expansive addition of Melbourne-based Brown (Pateras/Baxter/Brown, Western Grey, Stone Echidna, Dumb & the Ugly, and countless other sonic explorations) making the ensemble behind this album a un…

Hekate
Hekate is a Greek and Roman mythological figure, goddess of magical arts, especially of the dark ones, lady of night, of moon, of dead and ghosts. In classical iconography, she is represented with three bodies and three faces, accompanied by other female demons or infernal dogs. Hekate is a psychopomp deity and she is an inescapable reference for understanding the origins of witchcraft and black magic in Europe.
eKPYrotic
eKPYrotic is an improvised music duo formed by Mirco Ballabene on double bass and electronics, and Massimiliano Furia on percussion. The electronics, created with MaxMsp, could be defined as the third element, because it guides the path of the musicians who, in turn, determine its breathing and dynamics in real time through a midi foot controller managed by Mirco. This organic, living electronics often becomes indistinguishable from the sounds generated by musicians, acoustic sounds which, throu…

The Reverse of Reality
*2024 stock* "Before I received this CD, I was told "this might not be up my street" which is always a funny assumption I feel, as I am rarely shocked thanks to my obsession with Romanian experimental music during my early 20's. Though this new album by bloodcog really gave a good stab at it. Experimental music is often stuck in a difficult situation, how far can it go? Is it music? Is it not music? I often feel it is limiting in the way peope discuss and think about it. Bloodcog, like most exp…
Human
"A splendid collaboration between experimental vocalist Maggie Nicols and multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Phil Hargreaves. Human is a work in eight movements through which runs Hargreaves’ title poem. A long and delicate collage of vocal interventions, acoustic improvisations, field recordings, and electronic textures. Sophisticated, captivating, poignant at times [“Fugue (We Are Not Certain)”] and – the greatest feat here – imbued with honesty and immediacy, rare qualities in this kind of collab…

Ballade Imaginaire
Four fifths of Bloodcog, this is more of a playing session than Bloodcog's power electronics.
Alchemical Allures
Tip! »Alchemical Allures« is the first album by the duo Claussen/Klement, founded in 2019. With a unique instrumentation of voice, objects, zither and electronics, the artists have created a soundscape composed of field recordings, vocal and instrumental elements as well as electronically generated sounds and noises. All the tracks on this album were recorded during a residency at the Center National de Création Musicale GMEA in Albi-Tarn in July 2022.
Quatre soliloques
*150 copies limited edition* The scheme is simple and decisive: a similar electronic device for an instrument played at each soliloquy for direct, introspective music, according to my psychic states. In this case, a lap steel guitar, an electric sanza and a bass guitar. Three instruments for four soliloquies, because there's no numerical logic here. The bass guitar speaks alone twice on the S side, and that's that. Speech is banished. "Quatre soliloques" without voice or words: the title may see…
July 15, 2022
The first LP by the Taj Mahal Travellers was recorded at Sogetsu Hall in Tokyo on July 15, 1972, which became the title of the work and was released the same year by CBS Sony Records. A live performance celebrating the 50th anniversary of this album was held on July 15, 2022. The only original members of the Taj Mahal Travellers who attended were myself and Seiji Nagai. This is because two of the six members passed away, two are religiously active and they can not play music according to their b…
