2006 release ** "A crossroads between jazz representation and experimental post-rock, "Hidden Or Just Gone" is perhaps Caboto's test of maturity. More than five years after their debut, the Bologna-based instrumental combo has arguably reached its peak, transfiguring its avant-garde writing within refined yet extremely neurotic and obscure environments. An intense and accomplished album. It features a subtle alternation between improvised figures and reasoned structures. A marked aptitude for fr…
2004 release ** Card sleeve. "Finally the overdue and long awaited re-release of Iovae’s Quatervois which came originally as a limited CD-R release on Drone Disco. Iovae, native of Cincinnati is a true alchemist, working out lo-fi tape collages and simple four track assemblages. He uses unusual sound sources and layers these into rather dense and industrial etudes of found sound. Iovae (Ron Orovitz) has been playing with sound in the culturally insular confines of Cincinnati Ohio since circa 198…
2012 release (RARE) ** Card sleeve. Concerto Locale, the first project in Italy by Hannah Weinberger (born in Germany in 1988, lives and works in Basel and Zurich), features forty non-professional performers on May 28th (at 6 pm). They were contacted through the Bureau for Art Nerds network, through word of mouth, and through a relationship, albeit temporary, that shares a common project. At the Milan branch of the Swiss Institute in Rome, Weinberger presents a performance and installation title…
2005 release ** A certain humor shapes the conceptual dialectics of the Chessmachine live experience. Their interplay suggests the historical confrontation of East and West; an austere and chilling tete-a-tete over the chessboard that reconstructs the somber milieu of a bygone Europe, even as it conveys a kind of absurdist levity through the rehearsed performance of these roles. The use of MAC and PC computer operating systems by Chartier and Pavlov, respectively, becomes the late-20th century m…
2010 release ** "Recorded at 21 Grand in Oakland, California, this disc features a truly monster lineup of musicians adding to the Sissy Spacek core duo of John Wiese and Corydon Ronnau. We’ve got guitarists, woodwind, percussion, drum and double bass – hell, even a koto player makes an appearance, and each musician is a shining light of the Californian experimental musical landscape. Guided by a graphic score the musicians play in a semi-improvised manner, eschewing the traditional punk hyperac…

*50 copies edition* "Drekka's debut full-length, "Grieve", was release on August 24th, 1996. This was the day of my friend Phil Perry's funeral and the first copy was buried with him. Phil was one of the earliest and most enthusiastic supporters of my initial attempts towards making music, always honest and constructive when I was failing and always encouraging when I was making progress. Today, on the 25th anniversary of its release, I am unsure how I feel. I have created a body of work from th…

Alga Marghen presents Éphémère I & II (for tape, or to be played with various instruments) -- two previously-unpublished masterpieces which represent for several reasons a very specific moment in the creative life and catalog of Luc Ferrari. Even if Ferrari's perfect skill in creating some of the most beautiful sonic works ever is now well known to the large audience appreciating his music, the undetermined character marking the two works presented here is quite surprising. Luc Ferrari was tempt…
This film is a time travel/supernatural drama. The soundtrack is one part big band jazz, one part electronica and one part rock. The “Spectropia Suite” features a guest appearance from Blondiechanteuse Debbie Harry singing the future-noir ballad “This Time That Place”. No stranger to the Downtown avant-garde, Debbie has long had a connection to such artists as The Lounge Lizards.
* 2025 stock * "There is no jazz in Korea" Music critic Choi Kyung-sik's liner note for the 1974 record by Shin Joong-hyun and the Yup Juns starts off with this stark statement. Though it may have been a rhetorical device to emphasize the birth of an album embodying Korean rock, the statement itself holds nevertheless when one considers that Korean jazz has never enjoyed a place of its own - not in the 8th Army scene nor the civilian general scene. As is usually the case in other countries, jazz…

This soundtrack stands out from the traditional period into the psychedelic era. Soft-spoken and suave cool jazz, along with hallucinogenic go-go sounds appears throughout the film and soundtrack. Dynamic big band tunes are stunningly matched with impossibly beautiful jazz funk scores infused w…

Langille is best known as an acclaimed avant garde singer-songwriter and collaborator of guitarist Loren Connors. They ventured into electrified blues and abstracted artsongs across more than a dozen albums since the mid-1980s. Langille’s songs, with Connors, solo, or other collaborators, are marked by distinct and captivating depth. Her evocative lyrics, layered with themes of los…

'This sound / synapse transposition is as haunting as it is beautiful -- surely Grouper's best.' --Tiny Mix Tapes. 'If past Grouper releases have inhabited abyssal trenches and damp backwoods, here Liz Harris takes us journeying across constellations and stars. Two of the most beguiling albums of the year, exquisitely realized and singularly evocative.' --The Quietus. 'This music feels both spacey and expansive and also oddly intimate and grounded, the work of someone who has mastered her tools …
