Galactic Tornado
2008 release ** "The conception, the idea, realisation and sound sources of this CD are all based on original sound material (loops and sounds) from Rapoon's “Tribal Sci Fi” CD-ROM (courtesy of Sony/Sonic Foundry). Not the entire original Rapoon's tracks have been re-mixed or re-composed, but the general “sound” (or the sound aesthetic of Rapoon's music) instead. All the artists have provided their own original compositions, that less or more based on the audio-sources from Rapoon. The album “G…
Thinking Dust
2005 release ** "After a few CD-R releases, Wolfram's "first real album", released by the newly established Monotype label from Warsaw. "Thinking Dust" develops and exceeds the ideas from "Atol Drone" and "Mind Locations" released over the years - a very personal, calm, but also subconsciously disturbing variety of ambient. Wolfram never explored the sounds of "post-club" or naive el-music, so his work has always been free from rainbow idyll, instead it was disturbing (without evoking ghosts or …

Recorded with a vintage EKO Ranger guitar from the early 1970s, loops extend to infinity, echoing into t…
The Foreign In Us
After a wonderful concert at the Elastic Arts Foundation, Chicago, the ES Trio (Kwan/Zerang/Steyer), decided to record their music to document this inspiring collaboration.

Dissolution Seedlings
The members of House on Fire met Ben Richter in 2019 while we were all attending CalArts,and as our ambitions as a group grew, we wanted to work with someone who would engagethe latent, unexplored possibilities of our instrumentation. The piece sprawls - musically,temporally, physically. Each movement reconfigures the group around a spare set ofinstruments, in each permutation pulling out new composite sounds. Wells plays cello and bassmelodica simultaneously, Andrew tunes a C# drone, Richard pl…
enclosures
enclosures addresses issues of space, place, reverberation and resonance across five pieces. Anexercise in scale, each piece is a portal: a biome, containing its own environment, weather, sense of time. Featuring juxtaposed convolution reverbs that transport an ensemble through real and imaginary spaces, beatings between Just Intonation and Equal Temperament, a triptych of environmental portraits, an exercise in the musicalized resonance of the harp’s pedal mechanism, and finally, an exploration…
