GNASH
"This overdue duo record by longtime colleagues Tashi Dorji (guitar) and Dave Rempis (saxophones) is a monument to the endless musical curiosity that links them. These two come at it from remarkably different backgrounds – Dorji combining his Bhutanese ethnicity with a love for metal, punk, American blues and folk, and anarchist political theory, with Rempis riding the outer edges of the jazz world throughout his career, while also inspired by his Greek ethnicity and a longstanding interest in f…
ADN 40th Anniversary - 40 Years 40 Tracks
*2024 stock. 250 copies limited edition* In 2023 we wished to properly celebrate the 40th anniversary of ADN’s birth. So, we have contacted groups and musicians that stimulated our curiosity through these 40 years. Some of them are good friends of us, some were already part of our music trajectories; others, never contacted in the past, are near to be seen as our myths. Anyhow to cover our multiple interests we should have brought to your attentionmany more tracks, but we think this is a good sy…
Musings Of A Bahamian Son
Joe McPhee is one of the great multi-instrumentalists of contemporary improvised music. His instrumental battery has included saxophones, clarinets, valve trombone, pocket trumpet, sound-on-sound tape recorder, and space organ, but another arrow in his quiver is text. McPhee has been writing poems since the 1970s. He occasionally introduces one into performance, as an introduction or afterword to music, and in recent years he's been known to do full-on readings, text only, featuring his inimitab…

Mnhrs
This is the memorable 10th live document of the free improvised music sessions co-organized by doubtmusic and Fulldesingn Records at Knuttel House in Iriya, recorded on multi-tracks on 5 May 2023. “mn” of Mikawa and Numata and “HRS” of Nishimura and Fujikake got united miraculously for this very special occasion, so the title was settled as “MNHRS”.Highly recommended to listen as loud as possible. If that is not easily achieved, then with headphones, but high in volume. We are pretty confident t…
Labyrinth Of The Inner Ear
Tip! ** Full colour 6 page dvd-type embossed digipak. 300 copies. In Terry Fox's own words: "For the exhibition "Sonambiente", I will produce a new audio work for compact disc.

The compact disc will be produced directly after the recording process and presented, during sonambiente, in a room of the former polish embassy. This will be a kind of "drone" work consisting …

Uniquely orchestrated with all three members bringing a trove of objects & percussion, the trio of Martin Küchen on saxophones, Agustí Fernández on piano and Zlatko Kaučič on drums are heard in this two-part live concert at BUMF festival in Smartno, Slovenia, for a superb example of intent listening and use of space around confident, stunningly creative & virtuosic playing.
Are You Ready?
First physical solo release from legendary vocal improvisor, dancer, and performer Maggie Nicols, and the follow up to Creative Contradiction (Takuroku 2020).
While she might be best known as an improviser (most notably in Spontaneous Music Ensemble, the Feminist Improvising Group and more recently with the likes of Les Diaboliques, Maggie Nicols’ talents stretch into song, dance, poetry, performance and composition. When Cafe OTO was shut over lockdown we invited her to follow up the wonderful …
Astragaloi
This trio didn’t know how lucky they had it. They were certainly happy to perform again when this concert was recorded at the ArtActs Festival in St Johan Austria in early March 2020. Although their first outing was back in 2013 in Harnik’s hometown of Graz - a live concert broadcast through the Austrian National Radio/ORF, the band has had a sporadic performance history. So the opportunity to reunite for this festival performance was already special. Little did they know what lay ahead though, …

Her husband Simon, to whose …

Fusión
Fusión is the forth production released by Distorsion Desequilibrada, Alvaro Portales’s industrial noise project. He is one of the most important representatives of industrial noise produced in Lima between 1990 and 1995. Portales by then began his work as a graphic designer and comic artist and he was always present at the hardcore punk underground rock and metal circuits. The radicalism of grindcore and its derivatives, grindnoise and noisecore rooted themselves locally and allowed for …

Marta Sainz: voice, dan bau; If, Bwana (Al Margolis): amplified detritus box, recorder, clarinet.Marta Sainz and Al Margolis (If, Bwana) met and performed together in Madrid, Spain for the first time in October 2014. That initial performance - she on voice performance and he on laptop, was such a joy, that they both determined that they would work together again as soon as possible. That opportunity arose again in June 2015, when the duo did a brief tour in Spain, as well as going into the studi…
Eucalypse
The Tasmanian Blue Gum tree, Eucalyptus globulus, is native to Tasmania and southern Australia. Eucalyptus trees are uniquely suited to the varied ecologies of Australia, and there is no other continent more closely associated with one genus of tree. Its leaves are the food of choice of the koala, and its flowers attract bees and hummingbirds. Out of approximately 300 identified species, Blue Gums are now the eucalyptus most frequently found in other parts of the world. Throughout the tro…
I, Angelica
Sounding like an archaic echo, If, Bwana could be the title of a Bob Hope-Bing Crosby vehicle that never got made. A little investigation reveals it as the oddly worded cover for Al Margolis, who is perhaps better known as a tireless activist in the 1980s American cassette underground and, later, as the co-founder of experimental music label Pogus Productions. Derived from an acronym for It's Funny, But We Are Not Amused, the name sticks out like a cartoon-swollen sore thumb alongside such artis…
This Molten Salt
A relentless pedal-free noise blitz that will surely offend most music lovers is certainly going to delight a wide range of noise fans. This album fits somewhere between extreme free jazz and the works of Iannis Xenakis. Charlie Mumma has played drums on over 150 albums with legendary noise-grind-music concrete band Sissy Spacek, led by John Wiese, an outfit that changes members almost as often as they get in the studio. Martín Escalante has appeared on a few of those Spacek albums in fact that …
