Patrizio
Eugene Chadbourne and Paul Lovens on tour in May 1996, recorded in New York, in Michigan and in an Italian restaurant in Traverse City: guitar and banjo against drums, cymbals and saw, a suite for the waiters of the world.
Anuraaqtuq
Inuit singer Tanya Tagaq live at Victoriaville in May 2010 with Jean Martin on drums and computer and Jesse Zubot on violin: throat singing, cries and breath stretched into an hour of raw, physical improvisation.

Four Louies Live
Bill Orcutt built The Four Louies by dropping Steve Reich's Four Organs onto "Louie Louie" - two of the most stubborn riffs in American music, high minimalism and dumb garage, forced into the same frame. This is what happened when he took it off the record and into a room. At Roulette last March the four organs became six, the rock trio swelled into a small army, and the plunderphonic stiffness of the studio version simply burned off. Six organists, twin drummers, William Winant on maracas, Chri…
Noon In Tunisia
Another of Berendt's meetings, SABA 1967. George Gruntz, the Basel pianist who would later run the Berlin Jazz Festival for twenty years, with Sahib Shihab on saxophones and Jean-Luc Ponty on violin, and a group of Tunisian musicians: a bendir and darbuka drum ensemble and Salah El Mahdi on ney flute. The title turns Dizzy Gillespie's tune on its head.
UK Vibe, reviewing the Nicola Conte compilation that includes Djerbi, points out that the famous names are not the point: it is the lesser-known …
Hannibal In Berlin
Berlin Philharmonie, 3 November 1976. Hannibal with George Adams on tenor, Diedre Murray on cello, Michael Cochrane, Steve Neil and Allen Nelson.

Errands
Errands is the first duo recording from Marja Ahti, Swedish-Finnish sound artist and electroacoustic composer, and John McCowen, a native of Southern Illinois, now residing in Iceland, whose work centres on a radical exploration of clarinet multiphonics. Working without the aid of electronics, McCowen has spent years finessing performance techniques that allow him to layer beating patterns and split tones that belie their source in a monophonic instrument. Ahti, in contrast, has built up a stunn…
Gamelan Music of Bali: Field Recordings by Deben Bhattacharya, 1973-74
A first-time vinyl & cassette release for pioneering Bengali ethnomusicologist, filmmaker and radio producer Deben Bhattacharya's Bali field recordings, captured in the historic villages of Puri Karangasem, Tegaltamu, and Kayumas Kaja between December 1973 and January 1974. Searingly beautiful and hypnotic, these are some of the finest candid, open-air sonic documents made of gong keybar orchestras accompanying authentic dance-dramas, ceremonial funeral rites and shadow puppetry plays. The 2LP i…
Search For Tomorrow
Berkeley Jazz Festival, 1974.

Three pieces, including the sixteen-minute Mayflower.

Recorded on reel tapes between 1979-1981 with true analogue sound, this album constitutes the Holy Grail of late 70's Hungarian u…
