The Sonosopher Retrospective
Awesome anthology of Sten Hanson text-sound composition..."Fylkingen has, in the course of its many years of activity, become a familiar factor in Swedish, as well as international, musical life, a unique forum for the presentation of experimental art. Since very early it began to work in collaboration with an electronic music studio in Stockholm for the creation of technically satisfactory performance possibilities. The movement within Sweden in sound poetry/text-sound composition took hold in …
From Here to Ear
Like a live concert with no beginning or end, sixty Australian finches dance between the strings of twelve electric guitars in the sacred silence of Le Château in Aubenas. From Here to Ear (v.25), the twenty-fifth incarnation of a work that has been continuously reinventing itself since 1999, captures the ephemeral essence of what Céleste Boursier-Mougenot calls "living music" - where birds settle on the strings of instruments as if they were wires between city roofs or branches of a tree. There…
Levende Opjekten Sjooo
Limited color vinyl, edition of 100. Once more the Netherlands proves to be fertile ground for adventurous sonic explorations defiantly untainted from outside influences. The Levende Opjekten Sjooo (L.O.S.) was developed by Artist Hans Frisch, who had made a name for himself as a painter by dripping black car paint on white formica panels, calling this: Clean Art. His next project involved a set with moving statues and music. The statues were actually naked dancers hidden between layers of linne…
Via (LP)
Tip! * 300 copies, comes with an extensive booklet * Limpe Fuchs’ first solo record came about by accident. Initially, Christoph Heemann invited the famous Anima duo to do a studio record in his home-town Aachen, but Paul Fuchs decided not to join in, so Limpe went on her own – and the recording sessions taking place in late 1986 and early 1987 turned out to become “via”, Limpe’s first solo-record and the (visible) starting point of her ongoing exceptional career as an internationally performing…
Chromatic
*Limited Edition of 100 copies!* Commissioned by 180 Studios as part of the UVA exhibition Synchronicity, Chromatic is a software-driven optical instrument that explores the harmony of form and the interaction of colour and sound. Each line, shape, and colour plays a role in constructing this generative audio-visual installation. A computationally programmed, rule-based system endlessly assembles and re-assembles abstract formations and harmonic sequences, producing geometric compositions that p…

In Offret
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…
Tryptykh
2002 release ** "The Belgian group Hybryds is one of the most unusual phenomena on the underground music scene. They have been around since the late 80s and combine the powerful primordial energy of prehistoric times with the post-industrial aesthetics of modern times. This is a dark ritual music performed mainly on acoustic and homemade instruments (gasoline drums, wooden armature, other various percussion, voice, field recordings made in different parts of the world) with limited use of synthe…

2008 release ** "Kotodama is another project of Manabu Hiramoto aka Shinkiro which has been exploring more experimental side with his unique sound collage technique. "Blackout" was recorded with Hiroshi Hashimoto and Shingo Sugiura of legendary Contagious Orgasm, released on SSSM 2008. Two unique Japanese bands, creative forces within the electronic music scene, each defining their own sound within a wide spectrum. From deep dark electro to noise, to dreamy and atmospheric soundscapes."
Sampler and Zither
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.…
A Score For Iron Blues
2011 release ** Limited edition of 150 copies. ""A Score for Iron Blues" is already the eighth full-length album of the project Hypnoz - a brainchild of Dmitry Zuboff (Zuboff Sex Shop, Circle Of Iron Tape, BRZB) coming from Moscow region. This music will primarily appeal to the fans of old school industrial - the raw and moderately rough sound of the album is based on the use of overdriven and otherwise processed bass guitar and voice samples. With the help of these simple means comrade Zuboff m…

So Einfach Ist Das
These recordings are indeed a minor sensation! It's hard to imagine that, apart from the well-known recordings in the GDR, something "different and deeper" existed in the late 1960s alongside appealing soul and jazz bands. Modern and progressive fuzzy and funky jazz rock. Really? But yes, "So einfach war das wohl / it was probably that simple" back then. The highly talented pianist Ulrich Gumpert played and composed in one of the country's most renowned ensembles, the Klaus Lenz Orchestra, since…
