Improvisation On Four Sequences
*Limited edition of 500 copies.* Suzanne Ciani’s Improvisation On Four Sequences somehow represents the complete histo-ry of electronic music, as the enthusiastic audience at Week-End Fest 2021 were lucky enough to experience.

When It Rains It Pours
If there's one musician in the last decade that you may hear in wildly diverse musical contexts it is Belgian electric bassist and sound sculptor Farida Amadou. Not only can you enjoy the unerringly skillful command she has over her instrument but also the transformative power to reinterpret and expand her material in spontaneous and unconventional ways. Amadou is self-taught and radically aware of her idiosyncratic relationship with the bass guitar. She neither emulates the virtuosos of the ele…

A 50-foot length of taut wire passes through the poles of a large magnet and is driven by an oscillator; the vibrations of the wire are miked at either end, amplified and broadcast in stereo. The thin wire is set vibrating four times at four different frequencies; what results is not the low drone one migh…
