Honig Und Asche
1998 release ** "A cosmopolitan synthesis of visionary music and outstanding poetry" is the concept and program of "Honey and Ashes," according to the press release. This claim naturally raises many questions about the work of German saxophonist Michael Riessler: Is it jazz—what constitutes "jazz"? There is little improvisation, as "Honey and Ashes" is largely through-composed. Is it contemporary classical music? Can you find pounding bass drums in classical music? "Honey and Ashes" is a speech …

He is an instant composer, pianist and inventor of his own instrument by putting a clavichord, a keyboard instrument from the 17th century, on 220 Volt electricity.
As the last student of the late pianist, composer and improvisor Misha Men…
Mauro Pagani
Transparent turquoise vinyl / 180 grams, limited edition numbered to 300 copies. Mauro Pagani's first vinyl album, released in 1978, is a masterpiece of sonic cross-cultural contamination. After his experience with PFM, Pagani embraced Mediterranean sounds, mixing progressive rock, ethnic music and psychedelic atmospheres.

Acting As If
*300 copies limited edition. In process of stocking* 23 years after his EP for Drone Records (DR-28, as Crawl Unit) we are proud to release another / new work of conceptual / minimal / object drone artist Joe Colley from California. We think Joe Colley (*1972) is a master of using mechanical object sounds and electronic static, but also strange low fi found sources and field recordings, creating alienating, surrealistic effects, similar to the likes of Small Cruel Party, Jim Haynes, Das Synthet…

Let's Go
A record that's every bit as great as you'd guess from the three artists billed on the cover -- raw guitar from Terrie Ex, offbeat alto sax from Brodie West, and some amazing percussion from the legendary Han Bennink! The record feels very free and improvised -- very much in the best spirit of other Ex/Bennink collaborations, but really taken to the next level with West's contributions -- played with a raw tone that really holds the whole thing together, and sends it back to almost ESP-l…

It takes cues from the gospel, blues and folk traditions as well as avant-garde composition techniques.

Amphibiaibomma
Huge Tip! 200 copies. Mario de Vega engages with sound as a tangible medium to exasperate perception. For over 20 years, de Vega’s work has been exhibited as large scale commissioned interventions leaning towards liminal zones of aurality, ephemeral situations -often displayed as detritus of actions, prints, materials and publications-, sculpture, performative settings, and three-dimensional formats.
A M P H I B I A I B I H P M A (Amphibiaibomma) is a studio work composed between 2020 and 2024.…
