Dillinger e’ morto

Noise After Babel - Language Unrestrained
* 2021 Stock. Language: English, Finnish *Noise after Babel is the result of artistic-theoretical research. It examines the multi-accentuality of language as a potential ground for political engagement. Our general metaphor coupling the words »Babel« and »noise« is based on the idea of a perfectly working system of univocality — the phenomenon whereby a linguistic term has only one meaning assigned to it — that functions without coercion (Babel) but which, after an intervention/change (loss of i…
The Legend of Barbara Rubin - Film Culture 80
* 2021 Stock. Language: English * Having entered the New York underground in the 1960s while still a teenager, filmmaker Barbara Rubin quickly became one of its key figures.

During an intense period of activity and travel, Rubin wro…

Barocco 2000
**Very rare original 1972 LP** few copies of this original library album, issued by Maria Teresa Luciani. To quote Finderskeepers that a few years ago reissued her 'Sounds of the City' "Pre-digital, indefinable and genuinely unbelievable. But who is Maria Teresa Luciani? On hearing this record, respected collectors and enthusiasts have suggested "the female answer to Basil Kirchin", or "the Italian Daphne Oram", both with justified cause. Mystery, myth, legend, teacher, artist, inventor, author,…

Music For Dance & Theatre - Volume Two
‘Music For Theatre And Dance – Volume Two’ is the second in a small series of EPs that will focus on music which was initially created for or inspired by dance and performance. Created as a dialogue with the avant-garde and highly experimental work in dance, theatre and art evolving at the time, the music was in turn at times greatly innovative.
That it was created for a dance or performance though means that such music was also often highly rhythmic and a number of pieces from this time stand o…

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…
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.

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…
