ZERO,999...
After spending much of the last years focusing on the evolution of his own instrument, the drummophone, the release of ZERO,999… reveals a new paradigm in La Foresta's work and career. In this album he collects fragments of live performances and site-specific installations conducted over the last decade, with and without the drummophone — reimagining and repurposing them as compositional elements that he has interwoven with recent studio recordings and collaborations to form eleven viscerally po…
Mermaids Are Real
Mermaids Are Real is the collaborative project between Niki Dimitriadi & Selfish Limbs, based in Thessaloniki, GR. Their debut self-titled album explores themes like love, loneliness, and death, where the existential anguish alternates with a light-hearted playfulness. Spoken word, vocal live-looping, and drone soundscapes blend together with repetition and improvisation approaches. Somber fairy tales meet the dark ambient textures and together create a world where magic and reality can’t be dis…
Sketches For World of Echo/Open Vocal Phrases Where Songs Come In and Out
“Some of it sounds so pure and clear and I am picturing him huddled around all that gear, simply magical. In my memory he didn’t play ‘for’ the audience but was rather trying to perfect these various permutations of sound within himself…and a few of us just happened to be present.” – Tom Lee
Open Vocal Phrases, Where Songs Come in And Out & Sketches For World of Echo offers two intimate unedited Arthur Russell solo live performances recorded at Phill Niblock’s Experimental Intermedia Foundation …

Slight differences in pulsation, tuning, and subtle shifts from one beat to another, from one type of sound recording to another, were highlighted rather than hidden, producing the effect of a mosaic or quilt.

Edaphon
In London I found a perfume that smelled like a brownie made entirely out of wet soil. It was inedible, but still very “cake”. “It’s our signature scent”, said the shopkeeper. But I used to make that cake as a child, with my child hands. I looked at the square bottle and it was me. Chocolate-like, but of the earth. Under our balcony I used to make garden stew in a clay pot with mud and pebbles. I stepped frantically on puffball mushrooms under a tree to make the steam. It didn't matter that the …
