Several Years Later
People Skills - the long running project of Philadelphia's Jesse Dewlow - has spent close to two decades tuned to that lower, stranger frequency, and Several Years Later may be the fullest transmission he has yet let out of the room. Since the mid 2000s, Dewlow has worked at the seam where a song comes apart into weather. Repetitive guitar figures, idle tape phenomena, sound residue, voices sunk far beneath the surface - materials gathered under the sign of his Heresy Museum and set loose in sha…
Öd
After nearly a decade away, Black Forest collective Institut für Feinmotorik return on Faitiche with Öd: eight prepared turntables, no records, coaxing music from rubber bands, foil and junk. Dubby loops and howling static drift into a scrap-metal Dixieland haze, with word-molecule track titles by poet Dagmara Kraus.
In The Mist
Harold Budd is a one of a kind modern neo-classical artist creating high-callibre and complex music with unique and subtle tension and abstraction, and simultaneous almost-pastoral but as-often otherworldly mood.
Big Vicious
Charismatic trumpeter Avishai Cohen launched his exuberant, home-grown band Big Vicious six years ago, after relocating from the US to his native Israel, rounding up players to shape the music from the ground up, and co-authoring much of its newest material together with them. The group is an association of old friends. “We’re all coming from jazz, but some of us left it earlier”, Avishai says, summing up the stylistic reach of his cohorts. “Everyone’s bringing in their backgrounds, and that be…

A La Altura: Visionary Mexican Music 1977-1999 - Volumes 1 & 2
Visionaries in Mexico have sought ways to look beyond the stars for millennia. Ancient civilizations like the Maya and Aztecs designed their cities as gigantic star maps, orienting their buildings to mark equinoxes, solstices, and zenith passages. This inquisitive form of meaning-making through art has long been endangered—first by Spanish colonizers; then by the Mexican government’s throttling of artistic expression in the late 20th century; and now by the violent anti-Mexican sentiments of the…
Synthesized Voices
DINTE reissues Charles Dodge’s 1976 LP collection of synthesised speech music, 1972-1975. Using mainframe computers at Bell Telephone Laboratories, Dodge analysed and dismantled audio recordings of surrealist poetry by Mark Strand, mathematically and meticulously reconstructing them in synthetic form, resulting in these uncanny, landmark pieces that spearheaded early computer speech synthesis as a form for musical composition.
Drukqs

Through The Looking Glass

Communique

You Never Were Much Of A Dancer
When I was about eight years old a pretty formative thing happened to me ... my mum bought me a cassette tape of Nirvana’s Nevermind. Being so young I'd had no real interest in music prior to that, but I did have a ‘My First Sony’ cassette player that I used to listen to audiobooks. Anyway, I put the tape in, pressed play, and what I heard blew my little 8 year old mind. I don't know what it was about that wall of sound that so captured me, but I spent many hours hyperactively running around the…
1001 Centigrades
The title was not what Christian Vander wanted. The original plan was Magma 2, grey cover, the band's logo, first in a series conceived around the classical elements. It was Philips and producer Roland Hilda who imposed the name that stuck, drawing a literal inference from the band's name, and who commissioned the erupting volcano for the cover. Hilda is credited as producer; his actual contribution to the record, as Vander later acknowledged, stopped more or less there. What is pressed into the…
Iuvt
Lmited to 150 units Annie Bloch’s luvt is a quiet reorientation of the organ: away from its monumental image and ritualised spaces, towards the delicate mechanics of touch, air and friction. Across seven compositions marking her debut on OOH-sounds, the Cologne based organist and composer turns to the chest organ, a small and mobile counterpart to its larger relative, traditionally used to accompany Baroque music. On luvt, Bloch limits herself to just three stops of wooden pipes, using the instr…
