Musician, writer and filmmaker, Sunik Kim follows up ‘The Bent Bow Must Wait to Be Released’ (Takuroku 2021) with their second LP - a deadly serious dismantling of the limits of contemporary computer music, delivered with playful dexterity and a touch of slapstick humour, a la Henry Cow. Enlisting General MIDI to create frenetic, vital patterns of dis-organisation made up of gleeful synthetic trumpets, wry orchestral sweeps and brutal key clusters, Sunik Kim explodes a kind of simplistic sound i…
*2023 stock . 300 copies limited edition* It's a gathering place of Taumel's collaborative productions and musical encounters with other musicians.

The line-up: voice, piano, drums, keyboards, synthesizer sampler, percussion, guitars, bass, harp, flutes, clarinets, typewriter, loop machine, fx's, banjo, lyre, tape players.
*2023 stock* "Peanuts" is a mixture of location recordings and percussion, and can be seen as a continuation of the music Jazkamer explored on the albums "Timex" (2000) and "Pancakes" (2002); carefully construced transparent sound-surfaces. One track also features turntable surface crackle, which could bring the listener's thoughts back to the "Turntable Surface Fireball" LP (2001). Although "Peanuts" is not a noise record, it could hardly be called ambient music. It might work well as backgroun…
*60 copies limited edition* Not to be confused with the sometimes Captain Beefheart clarinetist of the same name, this particular Mascara Snake makes instrumental and atmospheric sound collages, influenced especially by Moondog, Penguin Cafe Orchestra and Luc Ferrari. As the snake sheds its skin Pacôme Genty reveals himself, who you might remember from the just as enigmatic La Non-pareille lp he released last year with his duo Des édens (together with Antoine Cortes).
A follow-up to the duo's LP, CCTK Music (2021, Gilgongo Records), Performances features three sets from James Fella and Gabriella Isaac, from Gilgongo Records' 15th Year Anniversary celebration in Phoenix, AZ -- December 2019. Like the event, the record starts with a recreation of the second side of CCTK Music, using six reference lacquers of CCTK's A-side as source material to make a live collage. Following this are solo sets from Isaac (using her laptop as a feedback loop/sound source/physical…
Edition of 100. Crystal-clear vinyl. Tip-on jacket. The second collaborative album by Drew Daniel (Matmos, The Soft Pink Truth) and John Wiese (Sissy Spacek), "Through Mazes Running" builds turbulent complexity from a real time cage match of no-holds-barred signal processing. Cross-multiplying tape manipulation and software, each processing the other into a writhing feedback loop, creating a volatile ouroboros of sound. Cut at 45 RPM for maximum fidelity.
Ultra-limited edition of 105 copies. This material has been substantially reworked from the original digital version. The vinyl (not lathe) sounds simply incredible, with hyper-crisp fidelity and intimidating bass response. This edition also comes with a Venus Flytrap seed for you to grow (grow instructions included in the liner notes). This release will bring years of enjoyment!

Tip! "Vipera Nido Di" is the third solo release by Cristiano Carosi recorded during 2021/2022. For this album he uses synthesizers, prepared tapes, tape loops and analog effects manipulating the sound events into tiles of a combinatory game generating temporary space and language. The album follows a sound collage method where the acoustic objects are coceived and developed like a plastic medium mixing abstract, geometry and surreal portrait.
Tip! Audio collage recorded in may 2023, tape cassettes, tape recorders, spring reverb, tape echo, no edit, no overdubs, straigh on tape. The digital version is a recording of the tape cassette, no mastering. Comes with a collection of drawings and collages made with an Olivetti Lettera 35 type writer. Each cover is different. Released for promoting concerts in North Europe during spring 2023.

Consisting of two movements spread over 93 tracks, XCIII presents a collage of abstract electronics, unconventional instruments, reel to reel tape manipulation, loops and effects, best experienced in unique combinations on shuffled play.The first movement, Climactic Gruesome Costumes (wh…

*300 copies limited edition* Far from the extended still lifes and mises en abîmes of their acclaimed Penultimate Press debut A Sunset for Walter (PP43, 2019), Noetinger & Pateras’ 15 Coruscations weaves frequencies & stirs data into an agitated series of deft psychoacoustic miniatures. Employing electronics as a deformed mirror reflecting joyous lacerations & interweavings, 15 Coruscations borrows from both brut & skilled musical practises, emerging from the current despair to blister light ac…
