Obscure Tape Music Of Japan Vol. 25: Night Event At Festival Plaza In Expo '70
At the World Exposition held in Osaka in 1970, many multi-media works such as experimental music were presented at different pavilions. Some of the recordings were released on discs, however, the information was lacking what music was produced for what event held at the Festival Plaza. Although many sound sources were lost, we managed to analyze some part of treasurable recordings that were still available! tr.1 "Flag, Flag, Flag and Plaza of Light" (music: Yori-aki Matsudaira) The event was a …
Tapes 2
Another absolute gem from Trunk, building on the ground covered by their mind-bending release from 2017, "Tapes 1" - delving into the sprawling musical archive of the cult Dutch film director, Frans Zwartjes - comes "Tapes 2". Taking this incredible sonic journey toward new depths, the LP provides a missing link within the history of the avant-garde, dramatically expanding the available perceptions of Zwartjes’ crucial musical output, while alluding to so much more.
Bruton Brutoff: The Ambient, Electronic and Pastoral Sounds of The Bruton Library Catalogue
Rare musical magic from the Bruton library catalog -- ambient, spacey, pastoral, and electronic. Music by John Cameron, Alan Hawkshaw, Francis Monkman, Brian Bennett, and more -- all total masters of the scene. Over the last three decades Jonny Trunk has collected and written about library music. But he's never had a great deal of luck with the Bruton catalog. By this he means that he's never stumbled across a massive stash, or lucked-out buying a huge run for practically nothing. But he did man…
Endless Wave: Vol 1
Killer. A classically trained dancer, Gabriel Roth was involved with the early ’60’s counterculture movement as a dance instructor for therapeutic workshops at the legendary Esalen Institute in San Francisco and Arica School in New York. These facilities and groups played key roles in the Human Potential Movement in psychology which later led to Transpersonal Psychology and the New Age Movement. Through direct encounters and training from the era’s noted psychologists, philosophers, anthropologi…
The Carrier Frequency
Frozen in time over four decades this 1984 "cyclic incantation" combines electroacoustics, grazed euphoria, industrial aesthetics, sampled salvage, and recycled mechanic folk to score a widely revered dystopian physical theatre performance from the UK's hugely influential Impact Theatre Co-Operative. From a seminal post-punk art-action faction (formed in a Leeds warehouse space alongside Gang Of Four and The Mekons), this apocalyptic prophecy not only cracked avant-garde stage boundaries but pro…
La Chasse Au Snark
**Double LP, limited edition** In 1967, 1968 and 1969 most of my works were happenings loosely based on Lewis Carroll’s The Hunting Of The Snark, a not-so-cryptic poem that, to my mind, gave clues to free the theatre in the same way the “new music” had freed jazz. It never made it to record and I gave up on the idea when I met Sunny Murray and Alan Silva when they arrived in Paris in the summer of ‘69. Few concert venues would have anything to do with us but we didn’t want that kind of connectio…
Night Of The Experimental Film IV
** Numbered edition of 90 copies with download coupon. Inlay offset printed in silver ** A contemplative aural journey across the stillness and massive scale of the landscapes of northern Iceland, as captured in Peter Hutton’s painterly film ‘Skagafjörður’.
Night Of The Experimental Film III
** Numbered edition of 90 copies with download coupon. Inlay offset printed in silver and black ** Erik Enocksson in disguise as Onda Tidender, doing what he has always been great at: putting the moving image to sound. On this tape he lends sonic grandeur to two introspective landmarks of subversive cinema: ‘Ai/Love’ by Takahiko Iimura and ‘Fuses’ by Carolee Schneemann. A eulogy to a past counter-culture.
Night Of The Experimental Film II
** Numbered edition of 90 copies with download coupon. Inlay offset printed in silver and red ** Two strenuous sound works by Dan Johansson’s Sewer Election project. Echoing the sonic aesthetics of his ‘Nara’-period, these live soundtracks for landscape movies by Derek Jarman and Peter Hutton identify as sophisticated and brutal at the same time.
Night Of The Experimental Film I
** Numbered edition of 90 copies with download coupon. Inlay offset printed in silver and blue ** This recording is probably the only published documentation of the short-lived Belgian duo Camargue. Accompanying films by Denis Colomb de Daunant and Jack Chambers with amplified violin, electronics and voice, they delivered a stunning live soundtrack, reminding us of early Tony Conrad.
La Planete Sauvage - Original Soundtrack Recording
**2020 Repress** Animated sci-fi masterpiece La Planète Sauvage (a.k.a. Fantastic Planet), winner at Cannes Film Festival in 1973, is a bizarre and beautiful film. Towering blue-skinned figures, tiny humanoids in the midst of revolt, and drug-induced Tantric sex transport viewers to a truly magical setting. Composer Alain Goraguer creates an equally hypnotic score from a palette of effects-laden guitars, flutes, Fender Rhodes and strings. While the lush arrangements are reminiscent of Goraguer's…

La Sangre Iluminada
'La Sangre Iluminada' (Enlightened Blood) is Murcof's OST to a 2009 film directed by Ivan Duenas and inspired by Jose Carlos Becerra's poems. The film tells the story of six characters who mutate into new bodies. Deep down, all six keep traces of their past lives, of the former bodies they miss; deep-seated nostalgia has a hold on them. Murcof's vaporous soundscapes track a tale hovering between tragedy and science fiction; an aesthetic clearly reflected in his individual fusion of neo-classical…
