Stage
Stage is Steinbrüchel’s second full-length solo release on LINE. The album contains 10 scenes that move between warm organic and melodic digitalised sounds and cold crystalline-like sparks. The sounds and compositions are even more detailed and have a more melodic approach then previous recordings by Steinbrüchel. Single isolated and stretched tones are structured together with smaller loops and particles of clicks and noises into dense atmospheres. Parts of the sounds used in several scenes are…

restocked...AWESOME REISSUE! Elektrofoni is a 3CD / 1DVD box-set which for the first time presents the ground-breaking works by Norwegian experimental composer, guitarist and micro-tonal music pioneer Bjørn Fongaard (1919-1980). The box-set is produced by Lars Mørch Finborud og Lasse Marhaug of Prisma Records. The seeds to the Elektrofoni box-set began when Lasse Marhaug a few years ago found a copy of the old Electronic Music From Norway LP compilation at a second-hand record store in St…

Percussion Ensemble
Jarrod Fowler is a percussionist from Massachusetts, USA. ‘Percussion Ensemble’ is a non-musical rhythmsystemic aggregate ready-made from percussive dialectical composites of “experimental percussion music”. Jarrod Fowler's projects are systemic investigations of musical thought and practice. These experiments question instabilities shared by both music and non-music.

Sonic Messenger
Limited ed. of 400 copies with a bonus album of music packaged in a custom designed full color gatefold case with a mounted 12 page booklet of bonus artwork. What if the Voyager space craft became sentient? Would it destroy humanity? Who is to say it wouldn’t become the most far-out musician of the galaxy? Expo ‘70’s sonic reach seems to extend past even the concept of space/time itself. One Eno Eon past normal, the patter of Expo ‘70’s dark matter squeaks and moans in wave forms, like the Dopp…
Aprirsi nel silenzio
Finally restocked, very last copies around...Just say the Hystory of the industrial avantgarde in Italy, since 1981 - Originally recorded in 1984, tasaday's aprirsi nel silenzio (do bloom in the silence) was reissued by wallace records in 2000. The genre of this album: underground classical. Technically, it seems like tasaday wrote this album as a soundtrack to a really bad nightmare, so anguished that the album would probably fit well with a viewing of eraserhead. To create this, they play a mi…
Theology
"The CD "Theology" contains the source recordings used for the LP "The Religious Experience", and is limited to 450 copies. The two albums and their music should be considered as mirror opposites. Where theology is a completely artificial system of belief, a religious experience is the immediate experience of the thing itself. Likewise, the music on "Theology" is complex and elaborate, while "The Religious Experience" is much simpler, going directly to the heart of the material compri…
Circulations
Circulations is an impressive hourlong electro-acoustic work by composer Pierre-Yves Macé and his second album (after a lukewarm debut released on Tzadik). Making the best of a residency at Euphonia (Marseille), he first wrote four solo pieces for percussion, electric guitar, harp, and clarinet. At Euphonia, he rehearsed these solos with musicians Frédéric Doumas, Rémy Décrouy, Rafaëlle Rinaudo, and Agathe Fourneau (respectively) and recorded them. Then, Macé composed a tape part for each solo, …
Zweifarbige Gesten
Beautiful debut full-length album for Jennifer Veillerobe, a french-german musician, co-curator of senufo editions and one half of ‘eselsohr ’. The CD is centered around a minimal sequence of sonic events, alternating between modular synthesizer patterns / textures and simple acoustic gestures captured with a portable digital recorder. realised without any processing or overdubbing; the cd is an attempt to define a narrative using nothing but sharp edits and careful sequencing of non-homogeneous…
L\'Aiguille Du Dru
Amazing release: Creating an after-the-fact transition between early electric jazz and contemporary electronic washes, Dru is made up of David Maranha (organ), Manuel Mota (electric guitar) and Riccardo Dillon Wanke (electric piano). Initial impressions are something like a slowed-down, percussionless (and trumptetless!) version of Bitches Brew. The keyboards create slow-changing washes of texture while Mota's clean-and-warm-sounding guitar interjects chords and thoughtful melodic fragments. Eac…
Manhattan research inc.

El Camino Real
Hypnotic new electronic ambient recording using another recently discovered loop from the archive. Premiered at Bleeding Edge Festival, Montalvo Arts Center, August 2006.
Ode
Brand new solo release for guitarist Nicola Ratti with his languid, disarming sound of small and gentle gestures and loping rhythms, often repeated and subtly shifting in an impressionistic vision founded on traditional elements. Merging guitar, piano and double bass with percussion, environmental sounds and occasional voice, Nicola constructs songs that by turns float, swell and envelop in magnetic fashion. A piercing tenderness remains at the core of his work, though on Ode there is a more exp…
Further Materials
A sequel to the Other Materials compilation (released via Richard Chartier’s own 3Particles label), this album draws together the various compilation tracks released by the artist between the years 2002 and 2005. Many of these pieces take the form of miniatures, meaning they’re both shorter and more condensed than Chartier’s conventional output, the most succinct of these being the two-minute sound sculpture ‘Tracing (Sketch For)’ lifted from Raster Noton’s Frequencies [Hz]. You’ll…
Perpetuum Mobile
estocked, reduced price: Perpetuum Mobile is the result of a uniquely schizophrenic 'open source' compositional process: the UK's finest collage composers (collage-posers?) Ergo Phizmiz and People Like Us (aka Vicki Bennett) uploaded files to a shared server, downloaded and processed each other's work, and flung the resulting fragments back at each other. The result is an interpenetrating audio-collage so intricate that neither party can recall who did what to whom. So far, so avant-garde; but w…

OVERHEARD AND RENDERED
Field recordings... With Maggi Payne, Pali Meursault, Christophe Havard, Perri Lynch, Emmanuel Mieville.
Point of Convergence
Trapped on an ocean of disparate languages, sound gravitates towards meaning, escaping the obsolescence of mother tongues by denying the slow decay of time. In the biblical tale of the Tower of Babel, God punishes the tower builders by scattering them across the earth, unintelligible to each other. As they departed their blissful prison of same-think, they became drunk with new songs, washing down their newfound 'auditory cheesecake' with sectarian babble. In as much as their speech had be…
