Limited to 50 copies. Based in the US since 2002, Andrea Pensado uses voice and electronics to create her highly idiosyncratic brand of experimental music. A harsh, cut-up sound profile, mixed with the strong emotional component of her music, generates a deeply personal sonic language which inevitably gives rise to intense responses in the most diverse audiences. Pensado exhibits staggering control in her work, utilizing Max MSP to map synthesis parameters into performance gestures. Her music co…

Stand closer when you have something to say documents two separate elaborations upon a single physical space: a studio in Los Angeles, California with concrete floors and large, wooden firehouse-style doors that face a moderately busy street. Tasting Menu—a trio of multi-instrumentalists Tim Feeney, Cody Putman, and Cassia Streb—give attention to the room by rubbing its surfaces; opening and closing its portals; allowing its natural resonances; and moving about it spatially, left to right and fr…

2018 release ** Edition of 150. “… we propose to study a generalized growth model, including all categories of unconventional literatures and yet coalesce them around critiques of linear thought… hence our estimates would be some of the endless positive examples for further conjectures on the end of time…. this could drive the need to communicate perception samples to all other forms of intelligence… evocative prescriptions which could offer potentially misleading guidance for future research, b…

Includes digital download. Damn Brain seeks the absurd. But who is it and where is it located? Damn Brain is a melting unity which travels to the golden seasides of electroacoustic experimental music of the 1950s to acid-trip inspired oscillator sounds possibly heard while looking at György Ligeti’s face puzzle with missing pieces, dissolving on the ground during a storm in downtown Berlin in 1996. Damn Brain is the echo of a thought, a consciousness teetering between the rational and the surrea…

Much needed repress. Originally issued by the seminal imprint Saravah in 1972, and among the most uncategorizable and sought after artefacts of the French avant-garde, Barney Wilen’s Moshi is nothing short of a masterpiece - long holding a coveted spot in the hearts of adventurous listeners and record collectors alike.

Huge Tip! 200 copies. Sulphuric Sonics is Rudolf Eb.er’s new studio album. "The girl's voice on this one was recorded in the backyard of a shinto shrine in the outskirts of Tokyo. I didn't touch those recordings for over ten years. I was too spooked. The girl was maybe 12 to 15 years old and seemingly possessed. It couldn't have been her voice. Her parents (who probably took her to the shrine in hope for relief) did shield her from onlookers. Even my recording equipment failed. I restored some v…

The movement within Sweden in sound poetry/text-sound composition took hold in …

2009 release ** ""In Offret", Swedish title for "The Victim", probably inspired by the 1986 film of the same name by Andrei Tarkovski, is a CD of ambient electronics, dark, minimal, without beats, immersed in an atmosphere of fear, on which reciting voices emerge, sampled or not. Echran, a duo from Milan, do not hide their cultured inspiration: not exactly popular films (Antonina Woicik's "Slepa Paga" for "Sister Vk"), books of a certain depth (Amelie Nothomb's "Métaphysique des tubes" for "Anod…

2017 release ** "Sampler and Zither is a release from Difondo, the Cagliari duo of Sergio Camedda (sampler) and Giampaolo Campus (zither). The group’s name translates as “basically;” it’s a fitting name given their conceptual focus on returning sounds to the things themselves—that is, to the basic elements and materials of their instruments. The group’s specific interest lies in realizing the possibilities inherent in the divergent natures of the two instruments’ timbral profiles and properties.…

Sonor is a record full of life and optimism, from an artist finding the beauty of existing between two worlds, much as a sunset does. Between the cultures of Mongolia and Germany, tradition and innovation, nostalgia and ex…

Collecting works recorded between 2018-2021 and a side-long epic dating back to the early 80s, as the title suggests, Drumming Up Trouble focuses on a hitherto almost unknown aspect of Curran’s encyclopaedic and omnivorous musical world: his experiments with sampled and synthesised percussion. As Curran’s wonderful, wildly sweeping liner notes make clear, his fa…

Black Truffle present the premier recordings of two recent works by legendary American experimental composer Alvin Lucier. Lucier has been crafting elegant explorations of the behavior of sound in physical space since the 1960s and is perhaps best known for his 1970 piece I Am Sitting In a Room (LCD 1013CD). He has written a remarkable catalog of instrumental works that focus on phenomena produced by the interference between closely tuned pitches, often using pure electronic tones produced by os…

For many, the geography defying partnership of crys cole and Oren Ambarchi is the likely source of envy and awe - a creatively rigorous adventure in sound, egged forward by the romance they share. Ambarchi needs little introduction.
