New World
Nat Birchall returns with a new studio album with an expanded Unity Ensemble. Six original compositions played by a seven-piece group featuring the legendary UK tenor saxophonist, Alan Skidmore and guest percussionist Mark Wastell. Both musicians joined the group onstage at a John Coltrane tribute concert at London’s Café Oto last year, the resulting performance showing just how compatible all the musicians were, so Nat thought it would be propitious to record the group in the studio with their …
Subterraneanact
2012 release ** "Dutch duo’s one and only release, from 2012. And quite a good album too! Henk Bakker (bass clarinet and electronic treatments) and Jelmer Cnossen (percussion, Ableton Live) somehow created a subterrestrial sonorous organism with a logic of its own. "
Jun Yin 1 - Yu Wang - pilgrimage of sound 1 - desire -
2005 release ** ""Pilgrimage of Sound" is the new series of the Japanese electroacustic / experimental / noise artist Kazuya Ishigami here dealing with the concept of 'desire' seen from the plant, human and machine points of view. Kazuya sticks to the concept of "desire" with a quite radical approach, his irregular patterns of sonic abstractions could be described as intense droning assaults and the sound sources are so many and so heavily treated that they are almost impossible to be traced. St…

Skirting
Louie Rice and Luciano Maggiore work together as NO PA ON, performing score based works - both acoustic (without a PA system) and amplified (with a PA system). The duo was originally conceived to perform works by other artists as part of an event series at Cafe OTO in London. This series acted as a research period that went on to inform the action-based pieces that Rice and Maggiore are now writing themselves. These pieces explore physical actions and vocalisations in response to pre defined pro…

9th Chrysalis
2011 release ** "Behind the name Revglow hides a very Italian duo formed by the Friulian Francis M. Gri (of All My Faith Lost) and the Milanese singer Lilium. The collaboration has already produced the album Liquid Pearls in 2008 and an EP in 2011 that preceded the album 9th Chrysalis. The Revglow chrysalis hides nine delicate butterflies, ready to take flight. Nine pieces halfway between ambient and electroacoustic, soft, surreal. So simple and linear that they disorientate. A river of notes th…

Solo and choral vocals, string quartet, piano, synthesizers, and percussion accompany the performance on the imaginary stage of the listener. The music leaves a feeling of emotion that can manifest itself as a lasting inner silence."
L'Art De La Radio (Book + CD + DVD)
** 2024 Stock ** Yann Paranthoën? His name symbolizes the art radio (as they say cinema or art photography). He discovered a way to tell the world through sound, inventing a language and totally renewing the basics of radio broadcasting. In its broadcasts, speech is a material carving, as well as the life of sounds or silences. Similarly, for him, the voice is primarily a music before being meaningful. In both written desecrating the image, he changed the order of things and renewed our relation…
YaneUra Oct.’80
Les Rallizes Dénudés with Fujio Yamaguchi as a member, burst into a historic live performance at Shibuya Attic in October 1980, and this is finally officially released!
No Highs
The latest by Canadian composer Tim Hecker serves as a beacon of unease against the deluge of false positive corporate ambient currently in vogue. Whether taken as warning or promise, No Highs delivers – this is music of austerity and ambiguity, purgatorial and seasick. A jagged anti-relaxant for our medicated age, rough-hewn and undefined.
Morse code pulse programming flickers like distress signals while a gathering storm of strings, noise, and low-end looms in the distance. Processed electroni…
Prodigal Son
VHF debut and second widely-available LP by Liam, part of a new generation of underground “American primitive” guitar players serving the traditions and smashing them up simultaneously. Prodigal Son is a portrait of an artist on the road, changing fast, recording things as they spring from the fountain. The sound here is raw – grass and dirt instead of pre-fab; homemade/handmade instead of high-tech, etc.
There’s a visceral quality and immediacy of culture that’s being lost every day in modern…
Benzaiten
World music and ethno sounds with an obvious Japanese origin meet progressive rock and psyche. The result is a captivating piece of melodic and deeply atmospheric music that paints pictures of life in ancient Japan into your mind when you lay back, close your eyes and listen closely with your thoughts turned off. If Pink Floyd were Japanese their music might have sounded like that. The frequency of the arrangements on „Benzaiten“ reminds of what our English heroes have created in the early to mi…
