The collaboration between Anthony Moore and filmmaker David Larcher began in the late 60s, at the start of both their respective careers and lasted many years. Following on from last years release of the soundtrack to Mare’s Tail (the first collaboration with Larcher), this year sees the release of the soundtrack to his 2nd film, Monkey’s Birthday. This LP is a condensation of the essence of this 6 hour film. The sound is partly taken directly from the existing soundtrack and partly from stereo …

Sarah Davachi's first book, From the Ruins of the Literal: Critical Organology, Timbre, and the Poetics of Affect, published by her own Late Music imprint. The title is borrowed from Paul Ricoeur, whose account of metaphor locates meaning at the point where literal sense gives way. Davachi turns that idea on the study of instruments and timbre, disciplines she sees as long governed by empirical, neuro-cognitive and modernist assumptions. Her objection is not that measurement is wrong but that it…
Celebrated Czech musicians Floex & Jan Šikl present Directors, a collaborative album exploring neoclassical composition, electronic experimentation and chamber ensemble performance. Across four movements, Directors reveals a musical language where classical formality and electronic spontaneity exist as equal voices due out on via Minority Records. The dream of melding classical music with contemporary music, electronic in particular has been a cherished if not always successful one – it is as if…
The Sun City Girls were unlike any band before them or that has come in their wake. Their catalog, their ethos, their *being* - you name it, with the Girls that “it” was singular and became legend. This singularity started early and extended to their release schedule and the means behind the same. While the band would prove to be wildly prolific throughout their existence, during their nascent days they quickly realized that they could not be contained by any sort of traditional label schedule. …

After cutting his teeth in the late '70s No Wave scene with bands Theoretical Girls and The Static, Glenn Branca made his first solo statement, Lesson No. 1, in 1980. The inaugural release on legendary post-punk / dance label 99 Records, Lesson No. 1 unveils Branca's visionary guitar concepts with two monstrous, side-long compositions that helped forge NYC's downtown art-punk sound and acted as a massive influence on countless young groups, including Sonic Youth and Swans.
The title track is eas…
On either side of the globe, two seminal experimental artists collaborate for the first time: UK composer Richard Skelton and Australian artist Lawrence English meet for Noon, a devastating study of greyscale landscapes, deep sonics, and long-distance unity. “When we first started speaking together, back in 2021, it was a moment of contemplation,” writes Brisbane-based Lawrence English. “The world had quietened, the throws of a pandemic had hushed the ambient noise floor and in doing so had some…
On Music for Intersecting Planes, Kali Malone and Leila Bordreuil braid organ, cello, sine waves and feedback into a candlelit nocturne of air and overtones, an austere yet tender ritual where space itself becomes a third instrument.
Kali Malone's first solo album since All Life Long, recorded over two nights on the Bach Organ of Leipzig's Thomaskirche with Lucy Railton and Stephen O'Malley. Seven pieces that abandon canon form for a slower, more intuitive unfolding of chords, steps and bridging tones.
This is the sound of dream Texas, the cinematic Texas conjured in film and 20th century literary and art myth… big dark blueing horizons swallowing the infinite distance, a lonely poetry of sound, but also a stock taker of the iconoclastic, psychedelic, art rebel side of Texas… the cracked rock music side of Texas, the avant-garde in concrete cracks, the recklessly used, mind expanding drugs Texas, the dripping eastern swamps, the Houston house parties with the sounds of records blasting down th…
The world knows Muriel Grossmann as a bandleader, saxophonist, and composer of highly individual and original music. Her work has become closely associated with a modern revival of spiritual jazz, reflected in albums such as Golden Rule, Universal Code, and Quiet Earth, and in performances across Europe with herlong-standing quartet.
That is one side of the story. In Ibiza, where Grossmann has lived and worked for over two decades, another side of the artist reveals itself. Locals know her not o…

Huge Tip! Small repress. "I stood on top of the mountain and looked out over the landscape. It was so beautiful that my chest hurt. The light vibrated, time stood still, and the contours dissolved for a moment. Everything had changed; I felt it then. I took their little hands so as not to lose contact with the ground. Then we ran down the mountain, scraping our knees. Still, we didn't make it. You had already put away all the nautical charts, loosened the moorings and steered out among the skerr…

Swiss saxophonist Gilles Torrent may have been initially smitten by the sounds of US jazz giants like Coltrane, Shepp and Sanders, but as he’s developed and matured he’s cast his creative net much wider. After teaching himself the sax at 21 he spent the next 11 years studying the concepts and innovations of Coltrane before moving on to take the next logical step - exploring and soaking up the many styles music from around the world, and incorporating them into his Coltranesque vision of jazz.
