Color Systems
Rob Mazurek’s creations, dedicated to these six artists offered to Tomeka Reid, Angelica Sanchez, and Chad Taylor, to interpret freely. A foundation laid for these improvisations in the foursome’s forays into Mazurek’s music with the larger ensemble. Here something becomes distilled. Interaction is direct. The unit is unitary, the dynamics are gently modulated, the sounds are tendered with deliberation love and inter-ensemble generosity.
Drei Kugeln
*100 copies limited edition* Totally concentrated, this album captures the birth of new ideas almost every minute – each emerging, disappearing instantly, and making way for the next. Reminiscent of Elliott Sharp’s 'Phlogiston' and the works of Roland Kayn, it balances mystique with accessibility. A masterpiece and a true classic of electronic music.
Magie
*100 copies limited edition* Like the entire series of 100 works showcasing the most notable viewpoints in CON's electronic space, 'Magie' is a unique facet that draws the listener into an unpredictable, sometimes frightening journey into the unknown that runs through rich, frequently changing soundscapes.
RhythmiCon
*100 copies limited edition* Con's rhythmic explorations, carried out over 18 years from 1982, culminated in this full 66-minute album. A truly unique release, it stands apart from his other works, offering a distinct sonic experience. Intentionally simple – almost primitive – its rhythmic structures capture the musical atmosphere of the early '80s. Hypnotic, analog-driven, and now available for the first time on CD.
Here today gone tomorrow
"In the quartet on this album, Paul Dunmall has returned to his first love: totally free improvisation based on interaction between the four players. Many aspects of Paul Dunmall’s playing are apparent on this album. His approach is to listen very carefully to what is happening around him and to react to it. If you see him play live, you will see how he concentrates on the flow of the music, often stepping back and allowing the music to develop before choosing the right moment to enter or re-ent…
That Mysterious Forest Below London Bridge
2007 release (light storage wear) ** Card sleeve. Interlace/Ongaku presented this live show at the Shunt Lounge in the labyrinth under the London Bridge station in November of 2006. Three groups performed: the e-a improv quartet of Tom Chant, Ross Lambert, Sebastian Lexer and Matt Milton; the trumpet/Indian harmonium duo of Jamie Coleman and Mark Wastell; and the AMM duo of Eddie Prevost and John Tilbury.
Language Of Flames And Sound
2003 release ** Released in a brain-shaped gatefold cardboard sleeve in a hand-numbered limited edition of 544 copies. "Finally we are going for the re-edition of this great Maëror Tri album. Power for the right side of the brain! Our world is dominated by the left brain hemisphere. M.T. is here supporting the theory that it is necessary to stimulate and challenge the right hemisphere in order to get back to an equal activity of the two brain sides. Best Shamanic Meditation music of the industri…
Multiple Personality Disorder
2009 release ** "A concept CD divided in four long parts recorded back in 1991 that fully showcase their mastery in distorting and layering guitar sounds."
Siona
2006 release ** Limited to 150 handnumbered copies. "This is released on the experimental (noise / power electronics) sub-label of The Eastern Front, which otherwise specialises in more subdued music. This is a collaboration between Flutwacht and Vincenzo Bossi, two projects from Germany, and Siona is already their eighth release. Siona was "performed and recorded live without audience", which suggests a number of options, of which a live, one-take performance is probably the most likely. This C…
Dos Manos
2012 release ** "Woody Jackson has collaborated on soundtracks ("The Devil Wears Prada," "Youth in Revolt," "American History X") and on the works of artists like Badly Drawn Boy and Daniel Johnston. Devoted to Morricone-inspired influences, he threw himself into this new soundtrack, perfectly adhering to its canons. "Dos Manos" is an almost entirely instrumental album, slow, warm, and enveloping, and, inevitably, a bit lacking when deprived of its visual counterpart. This is common when soundtr…
Like A Packed Cupboard But Quite...
2003 release ** "The curiously titled „Like a packed cupboard but quite...“ is the 2nd release for the Dekorder label by Un Caddie Renversé dans l’Herbe a.k.a. Dídac P. Lagarriga from Barcelona, Spain after his beautiful 3“CD „Now there’s a weird taste in my mouth“. Not unlike his previous works which have been compared to the likes of Pascal Comelade, Asa Chang & Junray, Penguin Café Orchestra and Steve Beresford, the album’s using repetition and simplicity, melody and warmth, charm and a posit…
The Reversed Supermarket Trolley Flies Towards The Rainbow
2006 release ** Limited edition of 388 handnumbered copies with gimmick cover. "A good description of this work is that it's a live recording of a birthday party, with scattered improvisational music and voices of children. It's rather gentle for the most part, save for the occasional scream of a child which you get a taste of in the beginning."
Nighturns
2022 release ** 'Nighturns (deliberate spelling) finally introduces a new album by Bilal Dídac P. Lagarriga aka Un Caddie Renversé dans l'Herbe (lives in Barcelona, born in São Paulo, Brazil, 1976) after several years of silence. Dídac was the first artist on my old Dekorder label back in 2003 so our relationship goes a long way back. He released one album (Like A Packed Cupboard But Quite…) and two 3"CD's on the label to wide critical acclaim. This new album on the Cellule 75 label continues an…
Pink
2015 release ** "Maria da Rocha's name may not be familiar to jazz and improvised music lovers in Portugal, because this Lisbon-based violinist and violist has worked primarily in the Berlin and Stockholm circuits, and much of her dedication has gone to interpreting the great composers of contemporary, classical, and baroque music. In her own projects, however, she embraces the processes and aesthetics of improvisation, and it was in this context that we heard her at Creative Fest late last year…
Void Transactions
2017 release ** Void Transactions is the most recent album of Alterations, released in 2017. Recorded at Cafe Oto during the live performance at Alterations Festival 2016. Peter Cusack: acoustic guitar, field recordings. Steve Beresford: piano, electronics, objects; Terry Day: drums, percussion, objects, balloons; David Toop: electric guitars, bass, flutes, objects.
