Vatten Över Vatten
Vatten Över Vatten ('Water Over Water') is the debut album by the Gothenburg-based act Eftergift. Heavily influenced by the Nordic nature, this is beautiful organic tape music that utilizes a range of different instruments over the course of 8 songs. Sort of the musical equivalent to slowly walking on foggy Swedish fields in the summer dawn. While comparisons could be made with the early Korea Undok Group transmissions or someone like Mattias Gustafsson when it comes to working with the magnetic…

Cinq Portes Soudées
Etant Donnes is a French duo named after Marcel Duchamp's last major work. The group consists of brothers Marc and Eric Hurtado, born in Morocco and working mainly as performance artists and musicians. Their sound can be described as a mix of field recordings, found sounds and sometimes whispered, sometimes violent vocals. They describe their sounds like this: "Through Marc and Eric, it is the volume of each word that becomes an object-sculpture, together with the power of their bodies expressin…

Metaphysical Swatting
After emerging from a red shag-carpeted basement in Baltimore in 2012, Comfort Link produced a series of skewed concrete muzak albums knitted together with wobbly tape loops of found and recycled sounds, gradually shifting toward a darker post-industrial sound collage style on more recent releases. On Metaphysical Swatting, battered reel-to-reel tape machines and portable cassette recorders scramble up the primary sound sources of voice and organ - ancient reels of tape with loose oxide are over…
Oto no Hajimari wo Motomete vol.13
The first track is Transient '64, produced in 1964, composer Yoriaki Matsudaira. In the production process, a cluster of sine waves with a transient tone, referred to as 'transient sound', was created. The second track is Assemblages for Tape, produced in 1969, composer Yoriaki Matsudaira. Until now, electronic music has used sound sources with fixed waveforms, such as sine waves, sawtooth waves, square waves, and white noise. With these oscillators, it is impossible to create free tones. The ph…
Selected Tape Works
Compilation of two scarcely-heard tapes self-published during the late 1980s / 90s by late Pennsylvania-based mail artist Mark Moreland. Hermetic cut-ups of private audio letters, radio frequency band shifting, and crude environmental sound assemblages. Gen Ken: "How to write about Mark is tough. I agree he didn't think of himself as an artist and rarely made anything like traditional art in his later years. He had some paintings he made for himself in his room and I am fortunate that he gave me…

Javakade 8485
The Rome based imprint, Villa Lontana Records, continues their incredible dedication to the work of Walter Maioli, with the first ever reissue of the seminal, experimental Italian composer, sound archeologist and musicologist's 1985 release, “Javakade 8485”, made with his long-time collaborator Fred Gales. A radical gesture of musique concrète that still feels groundbreaking and forward-thinking nearly 40 years after it first appeared, this stunner is issued for the first time on vinyl, as well …
Jasu Jest
New collaboration between DressingDressingDressing. Mysterious murky tape music akin to Hands To, Yeast Culture, early Small Cruel Party, etc. Jasu Jest is their debut release and presents a seamless blend of styles and sounds from each, e.g. broken textural tape noise, magnetic wobble, faint buried melodies, fragments of distant voices and incidental sounds, and obscured domestic and field recordings. An incredibly accomplished first statement from what will hopefully be a long and fruitful col…
Nebuloasa
Tip! "A magnetic tape turns, imperturbably, accompanied by the crackle of a vinyl and the waves of an old radio. A heart inhabits these vibrations transformed into hypnotic drones. The loops become celestial when a song emerges, close to an incantation or prayer. Other voices try to extricate themselves from this analog maelstrom, those of specters lost in foggy saturations. Terrifying sighs, nocturnal howls, witches' rites and otherworldly melancholy, the two musicians of Géométries know how to…
Ministry of Loneliness Theme
Tip! *64 copies limited edition* This aquarium of invisible interconnections doesn’t open by itself, nor does it close on its own. We are a mellifluous scream echoing in the void of a crowded room. Just as every gesture is collective, so is its loneliness. The ministry that tends to it is an organ of collective unconsciousness. The outside pervades us. We peek through a peephole. We are the singular perception of the absolute liminality of the scent of place. A bedroom, a living room for company…
