Lament For The Rise and Fall of the Elephantine Crocodile
First-time vinyl reissue is limited to 750 numbered copies. Comes with poster. Yoshi Wada's Lament For The Rise And Fall Of The Elephantine Crocodile, originally released in 1982 on India Navigation, remains one of the most remarkable flowers to grow in the rarefied air of American minimalism – akin to Terry Riley's Reed Streams and Pauline Oliveros' Accordion & Voice, yet with a wild, liberated energy all of its own. After graduating from Kyoto University of Fine Arts with a degree in sculptur…
Linkage
First-time vinyl reissue is limited to 750 numbered copies. Comes with booklet. Terry Fox was a first generation Bay Area conceptual artist.

May 99
Tip! Black vinyl, with silkscreen and insert. In the spring of 1999, Charles Curtis, Alan Licht, and Dean Roberts brought an unconventional mix of drone, improvisation, and experimental rock on an eleven-stop tour of Europe. The concept was straightforward, yet novel: each night, they would improvise a single piece while sustained sine waves played for the duration of the concert.

Roma
**Edition of 200, sold out at source** For Romani musicians, music and life are often opposite sides of the same coin; much like a bridge, with its above, where people walk, and its below, which is mostly hidden to the view. Roma is an imaginary line, made of sound, that runs perpendicular to the horizontal, physical axis of a bridge, subtly trying to oppose, deny, and overturn this flat polarity.Roma is a limited edition of 200 signed and numbered vinyl records by the artist Giorgio Andreotta C…

Alien Phenomenology (Book+CD)
Listening as the basis for social, bodily and passionate movement and transformation. Are we not moved by the things we hear? These energetic intrusions and ambiences that touch the skin, vibrate the air, evoke relations. Is there an alien force intrinsic to sonic experience and the currents of sound? Currents that pass across subjects and objects, and that give way to a multiplicity of rhythms, vocalities, gestures, scrapings. The work circles around listening as the basis for movement and tran…

Massive amplifica…
