It Deel II
Second volume in the IT DEEL project. The Kleefstra Bros invited Norwegian duo Streifenjunko (Eivind Lønning on trumpet/electronics, Espen Reinertsen on sax/electronics) into the Thomaskerk in Katlijk, composing between improv, jazz and sound art. Streifenjunko brought field recordings from the forests around Oslo, brought into dialogue with the Frisian forests around the church and Jan Kleefstra's Frisian-language spoken word. A meditation on how we treat our local forests.

Emergency
"In the beginning, the legend goes, it was Miles Davis’ electrifying jazz on In A Silent Way and Bitches Brew – modernizing the ensemble sound as well as reconfiguring compositional flow with repetition and variation – that begat what was to become known as fusion, exemplified by the subsequent spinoffs Weather Report (Wayne Shorter and Joe Zawinul), Mahavishnu Orchestra (John McLaughlin), Headhunters (Herbie Hancock), and Return to Forever (Chick Corea), all of which emerged after 1970 and con…

SOS "In A Sentimental Mood"
Born in 1945 near Hiroshima, eighty years old in a year that marks eighty years since the war, Akira Sakata hands this one over almost humbly, which is not a word you often reach for with him. In a Sentimental Mood is the first record by his new trio Akira Sakata SOS, the alto and clarinet veteran flanked by pianist Nana Omori and his own son on drums, Manabu Sakata. They open with the Duke Ellington ballad you think you know, all velvet and nostalgia, and then Omori climbs onto the tips of her …
Kaiso Power - Sound Revolution In Trinidad 1970 - 1980
Soundway collects ten rare sides from Trinidad's revolutionary decade, when calypso, jazz and heavy percussion carried the charge of the Black Power years. Kaiso Power assembles music made for the dancehall and the steelband yard, its politics built into the rhythm rather than spelled out.
Haarlemmerhout
Polack returns to the park in south Haarlem made famous by Nicolaas Beets's Romantic 1839 novel Camera Obscura, and uses it as the field for an exercise in urban escapism. Local recordings (pigs from the petting zoo, birds migrating north from Africa) are torn apart and rebuilt with layers of synthesis and electronics, blurring the line between unprocessed source and synthetic counterpart. Field-recording ambient in the lineage of Chris Watson, but tilted toward romantic synthesis.
It Deel I
First album in IT DEEL, a multi-year project by the Kleefstra Bros (Jan Kleefstra on poetry, Romke Kleefstra on guitar) with Popfabryk, addressing the ecological degradation of Frisian nature. Each volume is composed in residency at the Thomaskerk in Katlijk and presented live before pressing. Volume I is built with Polish composer Michał Jacaszek, whose electro-acoustic vocabulary surrounds Jan Kleefstra's Frisian-language spoken word with ambient and drone landscapes.
Stunt
Issued in 2008 as the first installment of a three-part series, Stunt marks a striking departure for Giuseppe Ielasi. Best known up to that point for the patient ambient and electroacoustic work on labels like Häpna and 12k, Ielasi sets aside guitars and field recordings here in favour of a single tool: one turntable, and a large pile of vinyl records.
The six pieces collected on this 12" were assembled over three months from short segments, loops, and longer improvisations drawn directly from t…
No Way Out
Essential 1967 garage-psych debut by Chocolate Watch Band, raw prototype of protopunk energy with volcanic guitar work and inflammatory vocals by Dave Aguilar channelling Jagger like nobody else. Distorted riffs, cosmic psychedelic legerdemain, killer covers of Stones material.
Cantor Park
300 copies, black vinyl. Sometimes records just vibrate with a magical aura propagating endless energy and timeless positionment. Stefano Pilia & Valerio Tricoli have been maestros in their respective careers when it comes to dancing between modern concrete, unimagined landscapes and electroacoustic experiments slowly creating and almost hand-sculpting two of the most singular paths in the European avant garde scene.
After their long tenure in experimental collective 3/4HadBeenEliminated (Häpna,…
Scale
Scale, addresses issues of observation, embodied transferences, telepathy and duration employing swipes, knocks, resonators and hypnotic patternings on the acoustic harp with the less controllable sounds of radio waves, homemade synths and feedback. Inspired by the timings and sensations of natural phenomena including daylight’s slow emergence at dawn and the pulsing ambiance of ocean currents. Nature as both utopic and disruptive. Attention is situated in an often luscious, contemplative sonic …
Collected Works
Collected Works by raison d’être is a compilation of deeply atmospheric dark ambient tracks spanning 1999–2010. Encompassing sacral drones, ritual soundscapes, and mournful melodies, the album distills Peter Andersson’s vision: music as spiritual lamentation, shaped by textures, chants, and buried harmonies.
Reference: Miles Davis’ 3rd Quintet Bitches Brew Live 1969 in Europe
"The shock and awe that Bitches Brew produced within and without the jazz world on its release in March 1970 was largely unexpected, the result of the music’s uncompromising power and what many felt to be its perplexing, eccentric sound and structure. In retrospect, we know how Miles’ unconventional studio methodology and Teo Macero’s subsequent compositional editing of the voluminous taped material innovated the remarkable finished product. But what has only marginally been discussed is the ext…
Green Tambourine
Trunk Records lifts a single from one of American private-press music's stranger corners: Gary Schneider's home-made version of Green Tambourine, a 7" that has drifted for years through the hands of collectors who prize the homemade and the unclassifiable.
