Wooden Ball
"Sarah Smith and Zach Phillips, better known as Blanche Blanche Blanche, live by the element of risk. This becomes clear upon listening to their latest full-length record Wooden Ball, where the unpredictability reaches palpable levels. These prolific young masters of harmony from Brattleboro, Vermont have spent the last couple years recording and releasing nearly 10 full-length records worth of brilliant and confounding musical quicksand. Describing it in words can be difficult, but make no mist…

The Transcending Quest
**100 copies** 25th anniversary reprint on 10" golden vinyl of the 3" MiniCD originally released by Amplexus in 1994. Personally remastered in 2019 by Dirk Serries, this tiny Tribal Ambient jewel is finally available again as an ultra limited vinyl edition. The Transcending Quest perfectly represent the sound of Vidna Obmana, and in its 20 minutes it concentrates all the atmospheres and moods that were later developed on a fundamental album like The River of Appearance or on his nearly-mythical …
Sündenfall II
2019 restock. Sündenfall II from the Kevelaer area at the Lower Rhine played a mixture of folk and jazz. While their predecessors, Sündenfall, exclusively dedicated themselves to jazz, the group included folk after a change in line-up and band name (following the example of Amon Duul II). In 1972, Hubert Schmitz invited the band into his Trepitia film and sound studio in Alpen-Druept for free recordings, as he wanted to test the newly installed equipment after a recent move into the new location…
Terzo Mondo
Terzo Mondo (Third World for the ones unfamiliar with italian) was recorded in roughly five months, after researches and several attempts to give a follow up to 300mq, a mix of fractions of sound recorded, chopped, chewed, sampled and put in fermentation. The solution in the end went for the abandoning of the multitrack recordings for a sound that is dry, dehydrated, just Mono, ten live sessions captured on an ideal support coherent with the title of the album they have delivered. What co…
Farewell said I rising
Another lovely release from Upside label, responsible of the "fantastically primordial soup of dismantled and unstable rhythmic electronics and fractal synth patterns" as Boomkat said while reviewing Nastro / Here’s a very mysterious one-sider from Italian duo CYMBLS, their debut, so information about them is scant. There are five tracks on here which mix Italo-horror atmospheres with an earthy, freewheeling avant-minimal aesthetic as they melt between passages of bright, reverby organ, breathy …
All At Sea
We have been following Dan Melchior since the beginning with the Broken Revue, the collaboration with Billy Childish and the amazing project Dan Melchior und Das Menace. We are amazed by his own original and personal evolution from (let's say) "orthodox" garage punk songwriter (and what a songwriter! Someone said one of the best in the US, but remember, he is british) to avant rock, experimental folk /blues and weird sounds. The stuff he played changed with him, slowly affected by electronic mus…
Harmonikes Mundi
Duo devised by the magic drummer Paolo Mongardi (ZEUS!, Fuzz Orchestra) and the Grand Master of the 6 Strings Cristian Naldi (Ronin, Myse En Amibe). After their debut on the "AGGARBATOO Vol. 1”, split-tape with Belokurov VS Marziano and the first S/T CD (which came out in an amazing packaging made of steel and wod and limited to 100 copies), they finally release a full-lenght, out on vinyl and co-produced by Lemming Records and NO=FI Recordings.
This album comes as a long impro suite, divide…
Asakusa Follies
Asakusa Follies is a luminous scene of interplay between melody, breath, and the shakuhachi flute. Following on from the initial triptych of electro-acoustic releases on the Cuspeditions imprint, Clive Bell’s Asakusa Follies shifts the listener away from the studio and toward the player himself. Breath is a central theme in the album where a punctuation of purring, spitting, flicking and gasping intersects the tones, overtones and noise of the shakuhachi. The opening composition Ultramoder…
Low Pitched Italy
"Low Pitched Italy" is Sammartano's debut album. Already known as the drummer of the cult italian act Cannibal Movie and as well part of Black Moss team for his precious support on stage for our Donato Epiro's "Fiume Nero" live set. Son of the outskirts, cellars and ruined buildings of Taranto, maybe the toughest and weirdest city in South Italy, he tells stories that talk about dreams (nightmares?) of new migrations, ancient legends of travelships foreword the "old" America, visions of g…
Darker Half
Finally available! An hazy, organic drone masterpiece. Originally released in 2010 on cassette with Bathetic Records, the imprint Black Moss is pressing a limited edition first vinyl issue of this album in a number of 300. With some ambient music having a ridged and non translucent quality, Lee Noble’s Darker Half is a standard for organic ambient compositions. The four drones that create the albums whole are dense in shape and scope, stretching into infinite forms of expression and color patter…
Moments in Shapeshifting
New England's Lee Tindall has been a mainstay of the noise/electronic scene for some time. Working as Zerfallt and Belarisk, and in a variety of groups (including Astronaut with Daniel Lopatin), Tindall has been perfecting what he calls "Hy-Fy mutant music" for a decade, working on the fringes of a sound that has slipped in-and-out of focus. Moments In Shapeshifting is Tindall's most fully-realized release to date, bringing together his interest in abrasive noise, abstract electronics and h…
Ex-
Pequod are an acoustic quartet (Antonio Bertoni – double bass, Federico Robol – bass flute and soprano sax, Luca Santini – cornet, Massimo Valentinotti – prepared guitar) formed in 2010, conceiving their music on a continuous tension between writing and improvisation and focusing their research on the sonic interaction between objects and spaces. After five years spent performing and collaborating with some of the major figures of acoustic improvisation like Seijiro Murayama, Enrico Malatesta, B…
Tpeso
** edition of 200 ** Sebastiano Carghini is a musician whose research is mainly focused on the use of modular synth and the recording of physical objects. After his recent releases for Second Sleep, New York Haunted and Hideous Replica, he’s now for the first time on wax with this miscellaneous composition out of several recordings dating from 2014 through 2015. The result is a powerful and complex, unconventional collage, just as if a bunch of tracks were squeezed on it. Found objects, DC…
Mema Verma
[mema verma] is the final step of a study about an indian shruti box G (low) tuned, mostly used without emitting any note (as in the first two tracks, sampling and processing the breaths, whistles and noise produced by the reeds. The third track, is the only one in which the shruti is played in a more standard way, as well as its sound was recorded through a set of very old mid-range speakers, later sampled and processed. A split into three tracks but the whole project is sort of a metam…
Goldberg Variations
To the so-called experimental music audience, Claudio Rocchetti is widely known as an incessantly active avant musician (apart from his main solo project he is also part of 3/4HadBeenEliminated, Olyvetty, power quartet In Zaire, and brand new duo Geodetic along with Jukka Reverberi — just to name few of his side projects and collaborations), though he’s ever increasingly expanding his investigation into the fields of writing (Il cuore delle formiche) and installation (The Promised Garden).…
Blast Of Silence
Brand new David Maranha album, here with Gerard Lebik in a a sound performance held at Cave 211, Lisbon, January 2014 "An accumulation of resonances reinjected into an impressive granular continuum with a growing audio signal stretched to the limits of saturation. Music that leads to trance!
David Maranha His work encompasses sculpture, music and architecture. In 1986 he started to develop his work as a musician both as a solo artist and with several bands and has since released more than 30 a…
Schobberdebonk

Recorded by Emmanuel Lalande. Mixed by Arnold de Boer. Mastered and cut to vinyl by Mike Grisner at D&M Berlin. Cover art and design by Marek Wajda.
Rainbow Grotesque
Olivier Di Placido and SEC_ show a new face of improvised music. Instead of forced passages of conventional instruments, we get a soundtrack made with waste and garbage. SEC_ uses organic samples, tapes, and a Revox tape recorder, while Olivier Di Placido's guitar has object stuck between its strings. Both introverted and terrifying, the result of their collaboration is sounds from rags, pipe elbows, and bunches of wire. To an academic audience this will be experimental musique concrète, …
