In process of stocking **Limited edition of 300 copies with an etching in the run-out groove.** His own mix is unique: hilarity, intellectual elitism, biology, punk primitive, beer, and a schlager singer in the red.  He deejayed at many a wedding party, the Tour de France, every discotheque between Eupen and Ekeren Bos, the annual Serge Gainsbourg or Quatorze Juillet nights, and was the first in Belgium to ever play an acid house  record. His weekly ‘magazine’ Radio Ventraal, broadcast via the l…

Limited edition of 150. Includes 16-page color pamphlet of artwork & text by Baron. Derek Baron is a composer, musician, and artist. Curtain is a diary. Both in musical and non-musical situations, they attribute a filmic quality to their journal-like aural self-documentation. Dreams turn real then dissolve. Single phrases and events arrive and leave, abruptly. Yet, the overall sense of place that Baron creates is understood. Opening Curtain is the eponymous piece. A 21-minute live chamber work f…

Charl…

**Limited edition of 100. Includes 12-page booklet** De ossibus 20 is the debut LP by sound artist and poet Kiera Mulhern (b.1992).  Bridging classic sound poetry elements with micro studies of the artist’s body and environment.  Burying a microphone in a book, this LP picks up fragments of words and memories, humming the rustles of parchment.  It reminds me of Henri Chopin at times, busy mouth clusters bang against the air.  Kiera made this album as a means of organizing loss after her mother’s…

**400 copies** Bill Nace and Graham Lambkin first played together in Fall 2018, in Kentucky, behind plastic. In that performance, they sometimes played the same instrument at the same time. Time passed, then they recorded this album in Fall 2019, in London. I was told that an acoustic guitar, a cymbal and tapes were used in the recording and I have no reason to doubt that. There are also voices, birds, a room, the outside world...; a bow is used. Bill & Graham both deal in different kinds of ten…

** Deluxe edition with extensive booklet, 300 copies ** First time vinyl issue of key works from the Belgian artist-musician Moniek Darge.

Nieves is proud to bring us a much deserved reprint of Raymond Pettibon's anthology of drawings which was first published in 2014. Raymond Pettibon (born 1957 in Tucson, lives and works in Venice Beach) is mostly known for his comic-book-like drawings to which he appends disconcerting and sarcastic texts. His work embraces a wide spectrum of American “high” and “low” culture, from the deviations of marginal youth to art history, literature, sports, religion, politics, and sexuality. Taking their…

**Reprint of the near-mythical book first published in 2014.** This Zine contains a selection of Dash Snow's critical Dada-esque collages, which range from cum-glittered tabloid covers starring Saddam Hussein to straight text pieces to sculptural works composed of items like books and skeletal fragments; and a smattering of the photographs and Polaroids that originally made Snow famous outside of street art culture, where he began writing graffiti. This Zine contains a selection of his critical …

When Vital Weekly was called Vital, and printed on paper (1986-1995) the name Eric Lunde appeared with some regular intervals, simply because he was quite active releasing records and tapes. His performance like approach to noise music, his elaborate packaging which always raised more questions than it would give answers made a big impact. And then he seemed gone and now he has returned. I have no idea what he did in the years in between. His music doesn't seem to have changed very much (I am st…

**130 copies. Art Edition** Carles Santos was a multi-disciplinary artist, perhaps best known outside of Spain as a composer of scores for his lifelong collaborator, radical Catalan filmmaker Pere Portabella. Made in 1970 during the final years of Franco’s dictatorship, Vampir-Cuadecuc is an astonishingly creative assault on the regime and, arguably, Portabella’s most influential work. Filmed behind the scenes during the production of Jesús Franco’s Count Dracula (1970), Vampir-Cuadecuc is a hig…

**50 copies, white marbled vinyl** Maulex (moniker of René Middelhede) tiny re-edition of his “Circular Movements” focused on alternative use of record players. "With this project, I have focused on alternative use of record players and the aesthetic errors that follow. The shape of the circle has been my compositional starting point. Musically, all the content on this record is produced by alternative use of record players, but without any use of vinyl records. In addition to the record players…

**300 copies on black vinyl** A one-hour performance presented in 1990 at the 8th Biennale of Sydney (The Readymade Boomerang: Certain Relations in 20th Century Art) where time is being scanned and animated by matter and where the genius of Henning Christiansen - with fellow artist Bjørn Nørgaard and Ken Unsworth, to whom this performance is dedicated - establish a deep dialogue with the nature (of sound) watching the time, stone on stone, being at the same time actors and audience of its epheme…

Last Copies ** Edition of 200** Turva Lingua is the long-awaited, incredible debut album by mysterious Portuguese actor and performance artist Nu No. But who really is Nu No? Nuno Marques Pinto has been a relevant presence in the Portuguese Punk scene since the 80s.

(the drum) is one of Ulises Carrión’s early linguistic exercises in English, originally handwritten in black ink in 1972. The artist fragments the names of musical instruments to express a sound. His attitude to poetry precluded, to a certain extent, his book The new art of making books: “The text of a book in the new art can be a novel as well as a single word, sonnets as well as jokes, love letters as well as weather reports.-5Ulises Carrión (1941-1989) is one of the most important figures of …

In alphabetical order is a facsimile of the seminal magazine created by Ulises Carrión and Cres, originally published in 1979. In this photographic book - one of very few of Carrion's entire practice - the author is very critical about his own affiliation with the mail art movement. The book presents a series a photographs of his calling card filing box, which the author juxtaposes with witty and poignant captions: “This book of mine is partly real facts and partly fantasy. The real fact is that…

Chik White is the moniker of Darcy Spidle, jaw harpist, tape collagist, non-institutional locally-sourced field recordist, and founder of the OBEY Convention festival. Spidle was part of the Canadian crust-punk scene in his younger years, but he eventually evolved towards more adventurous sides of music. In 2009, after obtaining a collection of jaw harps, his musical output took its most dramatic turn. Since then, he has released a string of tapes and records on seminal underground labels…

Double Goocher Shop is the debut release by the duo of Renato Grieco and MP Hopkins, recorded on the island of Syros in Greece. Two nocturnal rascals have woken in the dead of night to touch all your things and move your furniture just a fraction out of place. Eventually these deranged intruders tumble on out of the house to take a sinister romp down passages and and and streets… Double Goocher Shop is the sound of mumbled directions given amongst trespassing removalists. It features the track ‘…

**Edition of 300 copies, numbered** Thomas Mailaender and Erik Kessels are both artists who work with the re-appropriation of images. They’re compulsive collectors of photographs and keen observers of sociological patterns. Also they both take the absurd and ridiculous very, very seriously. That said it comes as no real surprise that these two get along like dynamite and matches. For Unseen 2017 they’ve created the ‘Photo Pleasure Palace’ a special place where you can come to have fun and set yo…

Johanna Went is a pioneering performance artist who began performing as part of a street theater troupe that traveled America and Europe in the 1970s. Following her years on the road, she settled in L.A. in the late '70s and began transforming her street theater performances into what would become her signature style. Using found props and hand-sewn costumes, she developed a wild stage act that included live musical backing from legendary performers such as Z'ev and KK Barret of the Screa…

When the cassette 1984 was released on Chimik Communications in 1984, the Nihilist Spasm Band's last record was the 1978 Vol. 2. Although the band was very active at the time, playing every Monday night at Forest City Gallery in London, Ontario, since the mid-'70s, it very seldom recorded. 1984 was an attempt at documenting these weekly sessions. Tracks were edited from domestic recording tapes, therefore the sound quality is poor, bootleg-like at times (like on "Are You OK Bill? July 30 1984").…

A full length LP by the eminent Australian sound artist Matthew P Hopkins. The first side "The Gallery Rounds" consists of three pieces which were assembled from field recordings made at various art galleries, museums, and other institutional buildings. The raw materials captured at these sites was not focused on particular artists, or kinds of artwork, but rather, on various unintentional combinations: outside traffic and construction work blending with the sounds of videos and kinetic sculptur…

Killer 1988 “art-gallery” edition - each copy of the original LP was hand-painted by the composer in a loose, water-colour smear / drip style beautifully reproduced here, albeit utilizing the same image for each replica - covering a pair of beautiful, drifting piano pieces composed & executed by Giuseppe Morrocchi in 1980 & 1984.Seemingly influenced by Charlemagne Palestine’s “Strumming Music” approach - coupled perhaps with Lubomyr Melnyk’s “Continuous Mode” - the slow rise from decisive…

“The work of People Like Us rests gingerly between two dangerous positions: on the one hand, the risk of fashioning merely stylish pastiche out of borrowed finery for the sake of self-conscious kitschiness; on the other hand, the risk of making simplistic, heavy handedly "topical" audio-jokes at the expense of one's raw material to a smug effect. If the lounge creeps uncritically snack on their sonic ingredients and coast on being "groovy", the cads of pseudo-critique take cheap shots at straw m…

This CD compiles two long out of print, obscure vinyls by People Like Us. Almost all (maybe all) were recorded as commisions for Dutch radio. People Like Us plunders her way through the wastelands of vinyl nobody buys, collages them into mostly strange, and at times funny pieces of music. Unlike other plunderphonics, People Like Us keep the voice/spoken word segments to a minimum, which I most hearthly welcome. Extensive spoken words are usually hilarious, but after repeated listening don't hold…

A.R. Penck makes his explosive entry into recorded sound with Hinter der Wüste sterben die Gespenster (Afrika Para Noia). This is Penck's first record—a monumental document from 1979, released as an extremely rare private pressing. The legendary neo-expressionist painter channels his raw visual power into uncompromising free jazz, leading TTT with Frank Wollny on drums, Heinz Wollny on saxophone, and himself on drums. Recorded live, the music erupts with primal energy and fierce collective impro…
