Recorded at EMS (Elektron Musik Studion), the newly established studio facility at Swedish Radio. This pioneering work did not easily fit in any category that existed at the time. Inspired by the work of Öyvind Fahlström (who was a pioneer of concrete poetry along with the Lettrists and Futurists), a few young Swedish artists began exploring ne…

Sulphuric Sonics
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…

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…

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.…

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…

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.
