Involucri
2011 release ** Hand numbered limited edition of 474 with custom deluxe cardboard package. "Behind Uncodified we find Corrado Altieri, who also works as TH26 and Monosonik. This is first release as Uncodified. He uses sounds from analogue and digital devices, manipulating tones and textures. Its the most interesting release of this trio. High piercing sounds and deep textures, with acoustic stumbling around. Drone like, maybe even noise based at times, its an interesting merging of various style…
Double Miroir
2015 release ** With oversize booklet. "Dante Tanzi has studied electroacoustic music and worked for the Musical Informatics Laboratory of the University of Milan from 1985 to 2009. He has written many articles and reviews for various sound art and electroacoustic papers and participated in numerous prestigious events such as the Festival Futura in Crest and the Festival Licences in Paris.

Air. ratio
*2025 stock* "My listening project (about controlled mechanical ventilation in new buildings) is multiple : it can function as a sound study, a sonic data bank, a CD of environments, and finally as a music. This CD isintended to be an object without distinctive function. This is precisely what interests me: the question of listening, at home. "
"As his installations have repeatedly demonstrated, Eric La Casa has a keen ear for those phenomena of regular (or less) occurrences whose musical chara…

Crimson Umbrella
2007 release ** "What if Z’ev had written the intro to Darkthrone’s Blaze In The Northern Sky? With that question in mind Finland’s Rakhim unearth Crimson Umbrella, a two-track fit of kraut-noise psychosis, schizophrenic percussive clatter and layers of effects and over-processed vocal chants and screams. The nightmarish deconstruction of “Transylvanian Error” and “Ultimate Sword” bare only trace elements of main members Krypt and Rudimentor’s day jobs in Circle and Pharaoh Overlord, with Rakhim…
Ification
2008 release ** "After more than ten CDs and several vinyls under different aliases, projects or collaborations that ranged a multitude of musical styles over the last 15 years, Pure’s newest release is now proudly presented by Crónica. Three and a half years later than scheduled, and six years after his previous studio CD release “Noonbugs” on Mego, Pure returns with his fourth solo full-length album — “Ification” — the outcome of a long period of live work (documented in the first two volumes …
Hidden Or Just Gone
2006 release ** "A crossroads between jazz representation and experimental post-rock, "Hidden Or Just Gone" is perhaps Caboto's test of maturity. More than five years after their debut, the Bologna-based instrumental combo has arguably reached its peak, transfiguring its avant-garde writing within refined yet extremely neurotic and obscure environments. An intense and accomplished album. It features a subtle alternation between improvised figures and reasoned structures. A marked aptitude for fr…
Quatervois
2004 release ** Card sleeve. "Finally the overdue and long awaited re-release of Iovae’s Quatervois which came originally as a limited CD-R release on Drone Disco. Iovae, native of Cincinnati is a true alchemist, working out lo-fi tape collages and simple four track assemblages. He uses unusual sound sources and layers these into rather dense and industrial etudes of found sound. Iovae (Ron Orovitz) has been playing with sound in the culturally insular confines of Cincinnati Ohio since circa 198…
Concerto locale
2012 release (RARE) ** Card sleeve. Concerto Locale, the first project in Italy by Hannah Weinberger (born in Germany in 1988, lives and works in Basel and Zurich), features forty non-professional performers on May 28th (at 6 pm). They were contacted through the Bureau for Art Nerds network, through word of mouth, and through a relationship, albeit temporary, that shares a common project.

Bass Clarinet – Lucio CapeceTrombone – Radu MalfattiRecorded 5 July 2009 at Kulturbunker, Mühlheim.
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…
Earthen - A Cold Spring Sampler
With two exclusive tracks by Coil and Psychic TV.
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…
