Fluidities
2004 release ** "Fluidities is not your usual double CD, but rather an open ended project designed to generate many unique musical collaborations. The tracks on these two discs were designed so that any track on one CD could be combined with any track from the other CD to create a hybrid piece. In fact any two tracks on Fluidities can be played together to create new composite tracks that are, in effect, virtual collaborations between artists who may have never recorded together. For listeners w…
Autumn Is Coming, We're All In Slow Motion
2010 release ** "Matteo Uggeri and Andrea Ferraris met after having shared a series of collaborations with noise-ambient icons like Maurizio Bianchi/MB and Andrea Marutti/Amon. "Autumn is Coming, We´re all in Slowmotion", is the result of their mutual interest in searching for the most balanced blend of experimental music and melody. The work has been recorded and assembled trying to recreate a sort of "ordinary-life" environment and to give this aural-diary the shape of a soundtrack. During thi…
Sonology
2010 release ** "Sonology, the latest release from the Sound On Probation camp, combines two twenty-minute settings by Gianluca Becuzzi (aka Kinetix) and four shorter pieces by Laurent Perrier (aka Pylône), all of them untitled. Kinetix's first piece is a prototypical electroacoustic dronescape of micro-sounds where insectoid clicks, shimmering organ gleam, cavernous rumbles, percussive noises, and electronics combine to form a consistently captivating stream of controlled sound. Becuzzi holds t…
Boom Town
2008 release ** "Based in Jyväskylä, Finland, Keijo Virtanen (1951-2022) was somewhat of a legend in the whole finnish psych scene (on the same level as Pekka Airaksinen - in fact the two have collaborated before). He’s been working on music for ages but his work has only been starting to get attention during the last few years. This artist’s music is unlike any other, it is often based in ambient and drone and incorporates weird traditional folk instruments from around the world just as much as…
Unknown Music 1: Alien Letter
2005 release ** "Painter, guitarist, composer, and free author Steffen Basho-Junghans lives in Berlin and Thuringia, Germany. He has been highly influential on the eastern German guitar scene since the late '70s. Largely a self-taught artist and musician, his style is best categorized as eccentric and highly personal. Junghans uses steel-string acoustic guitars, combining archaic sounds with altered tunings and a plethora of divergent connections. Traditional European, American Indian, and Asian…
7Books
2004 release ** "If you dig just a little deeper into experimental acoustic guitar music, the name Steffen Basho-Junghans should come up. A German-born guitarist and performer, Basho-Junghans stands out amongst others with his unique guitar style. Implementing elements of American folk with Indian raga for a unique sound, he has created a strong catalog that spans nearly 15 years. On 7Books, Basho-Junghans goes all out with a double-disc collection of extended tracks, in the range of ten to fift…

Ephemeros [Ante 'Te Deum']
2010 release ** "The newest Bisclaveret release is a concept album , touching up a subject of human existance hidden in the symbolic of seven angel names.On this album you will find 7 songs - pieces showing various aspects of human’s nature and his cosmic dimension in the world. This album is the trip into the human’s mind through the word and sound. Ephermeros [ante ‘Te Deum’] shows a little bit different face of Bisclaveret by using new form expression which the musicians used in the alchemic …
Tattoos And Mushrooms
2008 release ** "For fans of Lounge Lizards this is a must-have, as we have two of the main musicians of this legendary band, tuba player Marcus Rojas and trumpeter Steven Bernstein. The line-up is completed by the excellent Danish drummer Kresten Osgood. The album begins with a moving howl from Marcus Rojas on the tuba, but this is just an introduction to Charles Brackeen's prayerful composition 'Prince of Night'. Then we have songs by the band members and Thelonius Monk, Charles Mingus, Hank W…
Ashigaru Revealed
2008 release ** "The latest work from one of the most prominent and outstanding Martial / Neoclassical European projects. Dedicated to warrior’s traditions of medieval Japan.Graceful and epic cocktail of atmospheric neoclassical passages, Japanese drums and rhythms. Digipak designed with a classical Japanese style."
As If Anything Could Be The Same
2014 release ** "As if anything could be the same is a duet album by the father and son team of saxophonist Jack Wright and contrabassist Ben Wright . In the world of improvised music, or non-idiomatic improvised music if one must, Jack Wright is a seminal figure. A self-taught bluegrass and folk musician as a youth, and later a history professor at Temple University, Wright's trajectory out of "normal" life coincided with his burgeoning political activism during the early 1970s. His subsequent…
A New Astronomy
2006 release ** "A New Astronomy is the reissue of a CD-R limited to only 100 copies released in 2005 by Sub Pop and which serves as a pleasant appetizer while waiting for the new album scheduled for 2007. Dedicated to the do-it-yourself astronomer Giovanni Paneroni, who lived in the first half of the 20th century and theoretician of a new astronomy antithetical to the Copernican one (flatness of the earth, smallness of the sun, nothing but a sphere 2 meters in diameter and weighing 14 kg!), A N…
stots
2005 release ** "The music contained in this awesome CD could be defined as an outsider's version of electro-acoustic composition, using improvisation & field recordings as the main material to build the pieces with. The point of departure for making the whole song cycle was the conscious misunderstanding of language; coming from the idea that you can never say exactly the same thing in a different language (so 'i love you' means something else then 'je t'aime'). 'Stots' and all the song title…
Noise.il
2006 release ** "Israel has a growing noise scene with a growing number of artists, who from time to time organize noise nights/shows – such as the one recorded here on "Noise.IL", sometime in the summer of 2005.While not as large as the Japanese or anywhere near as large as the American noise scene, the Israeli scene is alive and kicking in various styles. Each one of the six artists on this nine-track album shows a different part of the spectrum, from easy-listening tracks such as the bizarre…
Synopsis
2016 release ** "In pessimistic times of murky imminence, the alchemy of improvisation transmitting an explicit lucidity arrives as the proverbial unexpected gift. On a second thought, by analyzing Ute Völker and Udo Schindler’s curricula one does not anticipate anything less than that. Both proficient instrumentalists (on accordion and reeds, respectively), the former is a teacher and the latter an architect. The formal aspect of playing – and we don’t mean “academy”; rather, “respect of impli…
Sea Cathedrals
2010 release ** "Five superb tracks of deep and evocative ambient music, enriched with echoes of ancient ritual suggestions. The immense spaces and the abyssal deepness of the sea, but also the sound of the bowels of the Earth, the colour of the sand of the desert, the energy of the wind, the strenght of all the Elements, the infinite cycle of day and night, of life and death… A long circular journey through interchanging atmospheres that shake and capture, dragging with energy, then leave room…
Dialogue One
2011 release ** "Enrico Coniglio's four tracks on Dialogue One don't differ radically in style from those on I, though the former are in spots perhaps louder and more texturally wide-ranging. Next to no details are provided about sound sources (save for a thanks to Rachele for lending her voice to “Calls of the White”) so once again impressions must be based on listening, pure and simple. One of the recording's most attractive aspects is the contrast between Coniglio's four tracks (all of which…

The Bunker Years [2006-2014]
2019 release ** "A sort of anthology that collects material recorded between 2006 and 2014. The album is titled, programmatically, The Bunker Years (2006-2014) and represents a bit of a "summa" of his art. Musically the album is wonderful: the settings are dense, magmatic and claustrophobic. It is a liquid, wavy and minimal sound that moves in electroacoustic and electronic territories. The initial “The Rule Of The Shadows” with its rumblings creates a bizarre and difficult to decipher acoustic…
In Between
2020 release ** Limited edition of 200 copies. "Sound pulses and pale metallic clangs, thin percussive incisions, impalpable high notes broken by thundering and flaying industrial noises. This powerful work by Gianluca Becuzzi breaks down the barrier between the “inside” and the “outside”. As in the third law of correspondence what is above is below, what is below is above, the barriers are broken down, the rhythm deconstructs and annihilates, they are explosions of a Tancredi Parmeggiani with d…
I Racconti di Aretusa
Tip! “I Racconti di Aretusa” is the result of the encounter between Lino Capra Vaccina, a legend of Italian minimalism, and Mai Mai Mai, the alias of Toni Cutrone, a key international figure in the avant-garde/drone scene. A work that weaves together experimentation and Mediterranean echoes, creating a sonic journey of rare intensity. The collaboration was born during an artistic residency for the Ortigia Sound System (Syracuse, Sicily), a festival dedicated to the dialogue between traditional s…
Good Sound
2009 release ** "This is an early collaboration of Multi-award-winning Icelandic cellist Hildur Guðnadóttir (Oscar, Grammy etc. for the original scores of Joker, Chernobyl etc.) and Dirk Dresselhaus (Schneider TM, die ANGEL, Locust Fudge, faust etc.) who met each other at Club Transmediale 2004 in Berlin and started to hang out, party, play boccia and record electroacoustic improv-sessions at Dirk’s Construction Site Studio. Their extended experimentations led to a combination of Hildur’s skills…
