Live In Los Angeles
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…

Pachmann: The Mythic Pianist 1907-1927 Recordings
2001 release ** "From the G&Ts of 1907 to the Victors of 1927 the troublesome genius of Vladimir de Pachmann lives once again in Arbiter’s well-chosen compilation. His vertiginous rise to fame and his equally precipitate decline are the stuff of legend, no less so than his concert antics, his audience-lecturing and indeed record-buying lecturing (one of the famed "music and comment" discs is included here, a late HMV). Pachmann followed such as Anton Rubinstein as one of the titans of the keyboa…
The Addicition
2009 release ** Minimalistic post rock and ambient music, very dark and somber.
Kasi Naigo
2001 release ** "A sound study of Ingmar Bergman’s Tystnaden (The Silence) and the silence of the Other… the object itself is a compression of an impossible space through the trituration of a gesture-the infinite as a question… A singular blast of air interchanged with a hollow, crackly static drone are almost constant through this, disc, and they serve to create an eerie, lonely, wide-open silence…"
15-Tet Oakland
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…

Grieve
*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…

Les Yeux Fermés & Lifespan
After changing the world in the late '60s with In C and A Rainbow in Curved Air, legendary American composer and father of minimalism Terry Riley abandoned tape manipulation and written composition to concentrate on longform keyboard cycles and improvisations. In the early '70s, while in Europe, he was invited to create scores for two films. The first, in 1972, was Joel Santoni's Les Yeux Fermés, a feature-length art film that instantly became a cult classic by virtue of its never having screene…
