I Am As I Have Spoken

Rafia Longer
John Wall, computer, editing sound manipulation. Alex Rodgers, voice, real and computer-generated, text-to-speech. Mastered by Jacques Beloeil. Edition of 200 copies "Wall and Rodgers’] last two collaborations have intermingled Rodgers’ leftfield drawling voice amidst microscopically-forged electronic tracery. The texts (by no means the arbitrary stream of consciousness they sometimes appear to be) have always felt more-or-less paramount, but that doesn’t equate to clarity, and in the first of…
Pèl Nord
As source of sound Ferran Fages used radio receivers exclusively. It may seem that using various unconventional devices, often extremely amplified and processed, has become a staple of contemporary experimental music language."*Pèl Nord*", however, seems very fresh and certainly makes a new, intriguing chapter in the career of this composer. The dynamics of the record doesn't rely on a traditional patter of a quiet start, increasing drone and reverberating finale. Unhurriedly, it accustoms the l…

GNz-11 The First Five Singles 1979-1984
**Edition of 100** Here is DDAA’s Holy Grail: the first five single reissued for the first time on CD! “GNz-11” traces the beginnings of the band that had never really been revisited before: the first five years 1979-1984 in term of record productions! But more precisely the origins of the band are still older: DDAA was founded in April/May 1977 (and not in 1979, as we can read on a well-known music database site: this information is wrong!).

Bad Times
"Bad Times" is a kind of dark offshoot or reminiscence of Heading South. It is also one of four ep's or mini albums I've made in 2014. Each of them is small world or short novel, each is different but all of them are devoted to transitory moments and made under such influence. On seven inch vinyl there is only place for two short tracks but please treat it as standalone micro album. Two new exclusive tracks with a quite different style respect the last album released on Backwards ("Heading South…

It was Cork’s way to deal with Music Concrete and he suggested that the record could be played at any speed, his love for Dadaism was fully realized in Bad Trip.…
