Sull'accordo mimetico
Sull’Accordo Mimetico (On the Mimetic Chord) dates back to the end of the 80’s. It was commissioned by the artistic director of the ParcoScenico Festival, held in Treviso, Italy. Since the area where artists and the public gathered after the Festival was located to a very busy street, Marco asked me for a sound installation that could work as some sort of a defensive barrier for the street noise. I suggested that my work, rather than hiding the noise, should aim to harmonize the disturbances com…
La Camera Astratta
**100 Copies in light Blue vinyl** “La Camera Astratta” is the result of the amazing collaboration between
Piero Milesi e Daniel Bacalov with the experimental theatre-performance
of the Studio Azzurro and Giorgio Barberio Corsetti. An idea of
immersion in a dimension devoid of gravity, the desire concerning a
soft, ethereal, articulated and perfectly interpenetrated reality. It's
an evocative ambient sound, with rhythmic cadence, soft and repetitive,
full of airiness; the music expresses t…

Magick Brother
2024 Stock. "In 1970, the world got its first taste of the original pothead pixie, Daevid Allen's Gong, as Magick Brother was released in France on the BYG label. Allen's wife, Gilli Smyth, penned all the tunes on the album, and Allen's now-classic "Ph.P." drawing style graces the inside of the gatefold. Leaning a little toward the pop end of the spectrum, Magick Brother is a fairly light album, devoid of the blatant psychedelic/hippie qualities which shine through so brilliantly on the later Ca…
Love Cry
Tip! Love Cry (1968) is a true Albert Ayler manifesto: a sometimes disorienting combination of childish dirges, band music and folk melodies, all revised according to the New Thing perspective. Experimental album (for the time) containing some of the saxophonist's most famous tunes, such as "Ghosts." Ayler's last recording with his brother Donald, while the others are double bassist Alan Silva and drummer Milford Graves, with (surprise) contributions from harpsichordist Call Cobbs.

El obsceno pajaro de la noche
2009 release ** Limited edition of 50 copies. "This Aspec(t) album is very noisy and rather edgy, Gabola's sax often sounds very saturated, there are no concessions to melody even by mistake, SEC_ on the synth and electronics moves in a very fragmented, almost rhythmic way, no soft keyboard-like carpet as one would expect and finally Agenziano plays the guitar less and less as we have always understood it, to give it back to us so filtered that sometimes it is even difficult to understand who do…
XIB
2001 release ** Limited edition of 111 copies. "Collaboration of two of Germanys most powerful noise projects: DL (formerly know as Dachau Lustknaben) and EK (also known as Einsatzkommandos). Merciless and cold power electronics in their purest form. No Voices, no sampler, just aural agony. On the contrary to some of their fellow noise artists DL / EK do not glorify the horrors of the third Reich but condemn them. This release is dedicated to the victims, not to the committer."
Bending The Tonic (Twice)
2005 release ** "Bending the Tonic (2004), a work for ensemble that November Music commissioned De Bièvre to compose. In this work, a computer records all the audio signals of the musicians (except for those of the contrabass and percussion) and plays these signals back according to a fixed temporal system. The harmonic basis is formed by a stereotypical blues progression, that De Bièvre stretches over 144 measures. The title refers to the importance of the tonic in blues music."
