Composition No. 62: Compilation IV (Quasi-Concerto For Clarinet(s), Improvisers, Jazz Ensemble, Chamber Orchestra & Electronics)
2005 release ** "As a composer, Fell applies serialism with an enthusiasm and relish which hasn't been heard since the advent of minimalism, when it was declared a dead dog. In Fell's work this dead dog proceeds to gnaw at accepted practice and compositional cliché with a rabid intensity that many listeners find shocking. The challenge is to get modern compositions played with the emotional commitment and trenchancy of jazz, and in this Fell excels; by going right into the complexitudes of Stock…

2025 stock After his self imposed exile from the global world music niche, Mamer found his stage at Shenzhen’s two annual music festivals – Tomorrow Festival and OCT-LOFT Jazz Festival – curated by his loyal friend and supporter Tu Fei, who would always reserve at least one set for Mamer’s newest sonic experimentations. Mamer’s most recent album Faintish Radiation documents his full performances of solo improvisation at the seventh (2017) and eighth (2018) OCT-LOFT Jazz Festivals, in which he pe…

Presents Over The Edge Vol. 5: Crosley Bendix - The Radio Reviews
1993 release ** "The most straightforward -- and partially, as a result, the more curious -- of the various Over the Edge releases over the years, Over the Edge, Vol. 5: Crosley Bendix Radio Reviews is in many ways a solo effort by Don Joyce in the character of Bendix himself. A regular feature of the Over the Edge shows is an offering by Bendix -- described as director of stylistic premonitions for the Universal Media Netweb, the putative overarching organization Negativland is merely a part of…

Ashmadai
*2025 stock* "Two adepts of the sonic arts return with a morality play in four sides. Gone are the appeals to the winged serpent, the tree of life, or other past luminaries; these days they can be seen in consort with only one: Ashmadai. It is said that Ashmadai is not to be feared. When you say to it: 'In truth thou art Ashmadai,' it will give you a wonderful ring. It will teach you geometry, arithmetic, astronomy and mechanics. When questioned, it answers truthfully. Released on two twelve inc…
Dead-Loop
*2025 stock* Tim Barnes’ latest full-length: DE∆D-LOOP (AMI 038R/W), is his first solo release since 2002’s All Acoustics. DE∆D-LOOP offers another arm in Barnes’ wide-ranging body of music and work, as well as supplying an additional thread connecting the House, pop and sound art conversations the album engages. In many ways DE∆D-LOOP is House music that takes a sideways approach to the language of dance music. As both a concept and a practice, Barnes aims to turn House on its side, reconsideri…
You Think You Really Know Me
2024 repress! Gary Wilson's monumental 1977 LP reissued with the original cover art (care of Owen Maercks's well-loved copy), delicately laid out by Scott Allison. Which makes it, perhaps, the last copy you'll ever need. You Think You Really Know Me (also the title of Michael Wolk's 2005 documentary about Wilson) was Wilson's second LP, but the first he recorded as a vocalist, hewing to his own bizarre vision -- a syncretic collision of romance, new wave cocktail jazz, heartbreak, disco porn-sou…
Only Birds Know How to Call the Sun and They Do It Every Morning
Kaj Duncan David’s new album ‘Only Birds Know How to Call the Sun and They Do It Every Morning', made with the Danish contemporary ensemble Scenatet, is an extraordinary work of sui generis avant-garde electronic music, exploring the relationship between language and three interrelated themes; human development, altered states of consciousness and AI / machine learning. Employing voice (vocoder, talkbox), synth, EWI (electric wind instrument), MIDI guitar and MIDI percussion, ‘Only Birds Know Ho…

La Vostra Ansia Di Orizzonte
2017 release ** "Salvo Lazzara and Stefano Giannotti, two artists at opposite ends of the spectrum, but with strong musical and literary interests in common, meet between writing and improvisation, electronic landscapes and acoustic creations. A series of out-of-form and unreassuring stories is born, poetic and sound experiments, almost micro-radio-dramas, between ambient and free jazz, singer-songwriter and cultured avant-garde."

Noise \ ... [Lärm]
2002 release ** "noise\ ... [lärm] consists of five performances from the avant-garde ensemble for compositions created by three Noise musicians: the legendary Masami Akita (who performs on his two compositions, "Crack Groove" & "Yahowa Stackridge"), the equally as legendary Zbigniew Karkowski (responsible for "Monochromy" & "White," the latter of which Karkowski remixes), & Dror Feiler (responsible for "L'extension du domaine de la lutte")."
Neural Frequencies
2007 release ** "Spectral modulations refer artificial synthesis of psychophysical filters, while electro hypnotic segmentations unclose multiple external stimuli of pauperized dimensions. The neural degree is shading the higher method of frequencies, but the turgescent preceptive instruments autoregulate the recognizable discomfort. The normalization method is already remitted to the infected acquisition: it's the lacerating beginning of the epileptic end, realized in the year 2005."
Guitarrhagia
2011 release ** Limited edition of 150 copies. "A tasteful masterpiece using only acoustic guitar!"
Japanese Avant-Garde
2002 release ** "Most music in Japan has little to recommend it; it is a sonic equivalent of those brutal concrete towers or the transitory chaos of multi-storey teen-fashion emporia in Aoyama. But a sonic underground thrives, creatively if not financially, and perhaps it should be compared with the shabby Golden-gai drinking dens of Shinjuku, faint reminders of a lost time when desire and transgression shared endless cups of sake with political and artistic radicalism... How is it possible to l…
The Bellow Switch
2009 release ** "'The Bellow Switch' features the remarkable sounds of Sarah Kenchington's mechanical instruments. All the instruments were played by Sarah, and the sounds were then recorded, edited and arranged by Daniel Padden (Volcano the Bear)."
