2013 release ** Cardboard sleeve. "This is the complete, uncut recording of the concert of the same name, held in the Music Hall of Kichijoji Art Museum on December 8, 2012. All of the tunes were composed by visual artist Hideki Nakazawa under the banner of "methodicism." Pieces using two different systems--polyphonic tunes created from the Japanese syllabary, and instrumental pieces for solo performance--were performed alternately. Polyphonic tunes like "Japanese Syllabic Invention in Two Voice…
2008 release ** "Kotodama is another project of Manabu Hiramoto aka Shinkiro which has been exploring more experimental side with his unique sound collage technique. "Blackout" was recorded with Hiroshi Hashimoto and Shingo Sugiura of legendary Contagious Orgasm, released on SSSM 2008. Two unique Japanese bands, creative forces within the electronic music scene, each defining their own sound within a wide spectrum. From deep dark electro to noise, to dreamy and atmospheric soundscapes."

2011 release ** In cardboard sleeve. "At long last, and/OAR presents the second of a series of limited edition collections illustrating the various approaches to environmental sound art. These collections allow for longer format works to be presented within a multi-artist presentation. Also returning for the first time in five years is the custom card stock insert packaging housed inside clear vinyl sleeves. Yperiau, by French sound artist Eric Cordier, is a sonic exploration of the lower region…
2008 release ** Packaged in an A5–sized glossy digipak. "The third and the most complete release by one of the most tallented ambient artists hailing from Poland these days. Unifying vast array of elements, Per Aspera once again achieves remarkably introvert but vibrant style. Eerie industrial atmosphere seamlessly blends with serene harmonies of almost orchestral form. Cinematic, monstrous drone formations morph into pulsating abyss of dissonant disturbances and uncompromised sonic experiments,…
2005 release ** Industrial / Dark Ambient constructed from material gathered using radio wave scanning, data from radio telescopes, and archives of universe research data servers.
1998 release ** "This big band, led by T.S. Heg (alto sax & keyboards) is nominally a 'jazz outfit', but since in addition to lots of reeds, brass, bass and drums, they work with guitars, synths, sampling, etc., it's a fairly safe bet that this isn't 'just' a jazz album. Mostly structured with some very crazed, free parts, I guess you could compare them to Doctor Nerve in that regard, even though they sound nothing like Nerve."
1997 release ** "This big band, led by T.S. Heg (alto sax & keyboards) is nominally a 'jazz outfit', but since in addition to lots of reeds, brass, bass and drums, they work with guitars, synths, sampling, etc., it's a fairly safe bet that this isn't 'just' a jazz album. Mostly structured with some very crazed, free parts, I guess you could compare them to Doctor Nerve in that regard, even though they sound nothing like Nerve."

2012 release ** "Gridshape is an intersection of heavily distorted violent sounds with points of kinetic aural quietness through the interaction between digital electronics and guitars. Franz Rosati: Electronics, distorted guitars. Francesco Saguto: Classic, distorted, prepared guitars."
2013 release ** An electronic exploration of scrapes and whispers, silence and noise. Ennio Mazzon is a sound artist who works in the field of experimental electronica. His background in engineering and his interest for maths, physics and programming languages are conveyed into the development of infrastructures of digital tools that he uses for audio processing and live improvisation. He is the founder of the label Ripples and he is part of the project Zbeen.
2008 release ** Featuring: Gianluca Becuzzi & Luigi Turra, Sil Muir, Anna Maria Giordano. "Play to BN Chora. Jugement is the soundtrack written by several italian artists to support the video installation / exhibition released by Massimo Indellicati and Progetto Sperimentale Chora for the Alexander Gallery Cafe (August 2008). The concept of this inter-media performance was based on several ideas delivered by the french writer and global artist Antonin Artaud in the ultimate "Pour en finir avec …
2012 release ** "DNA is a mountain of an album: an audio CD with 25 tracks, each about three minutes long. Some are no longer than a minute. Here you'll find a collection of rare Oval pieces and 12 previously-unreleased tracks. DNA is a mixture of music from Markus Popp's various creative phases. It's surprising how old and new meld seamlessly together, and how, for Oval, formalism and musicality have produced similar results. Markus Popp has found an unmistakable musical language and declined i…
2010 release ** "Andrew Hargreaves, one half of The Boats, largely sails solo on Defragment where his melodious piano playing and electronic programming are augmented in a small number of cases by the contrasting presence of Danny Norbury's cello. A sense of dub-like spaciousness permeates the mix, and there occurs an occasional dubby bass line too. But lest anyone get the wrong impression, Defragment is most assuredly not a dub album but rather a forty-minute collection of hazy piano-based sett…
2005 release ** "Great to see this particular title of purely electronic pieces by Lejaren Hiller in the series; we last heard from him via the piece "Vocalise" on Creel Pone #039, "Electronic Music, Experimental Studios In Prague, Bratislava, Munich ..." but this particular collection, specifically including the otherwise unavailable early tape-music piece "Nightmare Music" (1961), gets into an area of his work that veers straight into the same text-and-electronic-sound miasma as such C.P. clas…
Six compositions for chamber ensembles performed the Ensemble 2e2m by Giuliano D’Angiolini, ethnomusicologist and composer who "is a positively unique figure in contemporary music. His profound, well-conceived and stubborn take on music has led him to what he calls »impersonal« music — music that has fully abandoned the idea of development or form. Through successive states of presentation, which aim to elucidate, d’Angiolini wanted to leave place in sound so that music could become less volunt…
