*2024 stock* "Muriel Grossmann's music had an immediate impact on me from the moment I first heard it. It was music with dedication, speaking from the heart. I felt it speaks of past and present, with joy and happiness. Ten seconds into listening and I was hooked. I was all over the web trying to find a vinyl copy, but strangely enough there wasn't any available. Without a second thought we decided to get in touch with Muriel and ask how that is possible. And behold, before long, we were listeni…

Solo 1975-1980
Sidestepping all normal expectations on this album, Ju Suk Reet Meate (founding member of Smegma) directly goes about casting musical spells, utilizing primitive "inner mind" techniques on hammered dulcimer, tape loops, thrift store records, a homemade synthesizer, electric guitar, saxophone, mouth sounds, and manipulated christian radio broadcasts. Recorded in Portland, Oregon, these previously unreleased recordings reflect a similar "inner-mind over limited technique matter" aesthetic as the a…

Alien Territory: Radical, Experimental, & Irrelevant Music In 1970s San Diego (Book)
Big Tip! From trailer park punks to Pulitzer Prize winners, this is the untold story of a sleepy Navy town that became the unlikely gathering point for some of the most innovative, unclassifiable American artists of their time. The late '60s arrival of Harry Partch -- hobo composer, iconoclast and inventor of instruments such as the Harmonic Canon and Quadrangularis Reversum -- jump started a revolution that was as much social as it was musical, drawing on the occult, self-realization and radica…
La mer, la bataille, la mort
2005 release ** La mer, la bataille, la mort is Soft Black Star's latest album. Five songs united by a love of literature and cinema. Electroacoustic sounds and field recordings blend into cinematic homages (Aguirre). An early 20th-century vinyl record spins, crackling. Zeno Gabaglio dispenses love with his cello in Moishe & Buddy. Radio waves sinuously flirt with the Farfisa in my living room, with a half-full ashtray on top. The homage to Sokurov in Russian ark, with his inevitable improvisati…

Fan-CD (mini CD within a transparent full-sized CD), front jewel case is scratched by a microphone 100 times in a circle pattern. Everything revolves around these words: the circle, by the dog. I believe that this word, used by those for whom the earth revolves, is singular: a rigorously extended straight line, plural: an eternally centerless circle which, to advance, turns on itself…
