The Shame Of Being A Child
2005 release ** "Looking up Jesus of Nazareth's "The Shame of Being a Child", I found it oddly classified as grindcore. I suppose some of the music has a disposition in common with such freaked out 'cyber grind' bands as Agoraphobic Nosebleed, but here guitars (usually the focus of the genre) are completely absent, replaced with excess distortion on the monkey-simple drum programming and numerous forboding samples and electronic sounds which come at the listener in a rapid fire barrage, one af…

The music was recorded between 2006-2010 and has been performed in Japan, USA, England, Scotland, Spain and Sweden.

The Escape Of The Electrified Dermatologist Epitomises His Dissent With The Compromising Juxtaposition Of The Smell And The Sound Of A Pair Of Wings Injured In Subdued Romance
2006 release ** "DSM’s music world appears as the intricate but finest tapestry of microscopic sounds, sophisticated packing of voids with sonic hallucinations, textural interactions and layering effects. Mostly sourced from the ordinary life, sounds changed beyond any recognition, the endless flow of electroacoustic treatments and studio engineering. This album includes collaborations with some finest sound-artists over there, and must be attended as the most diversified one. It contains track…
Early Years
2011 release ** "Live recordings from Syntjuntan’s first two years. Music especially composed for textile accessories. The music is tangled with lace and long stitches, embroidered with electronic sounds, square waves and curled noise. Syntjuntan is an ensemble of female composers, musicians and instrument builders. Our purpose is to meet women’s curiosity about technology and electronics, to encourage them to build instruments by themselves and otherwise facilitating their own experimentation.…
Musica Porosa
2004 release ** "The second CD, "Musica Porosa" features Karlheinz Stockhausen's son, Markus Stockhausen, now one of the most famous European jazz trumpeters, along with the talented clarinetist Tara Bouman. The seven sections that give life to the composition "Porosity" seek a trait d'union between the serial music of Stockhausen senior and the chamber jazz of the Ecm brand, especially in the fifth and sixth sections."
Essays On Radio: Can I Have 2 Minutes Of Your Time?
2005 release ** "Compiled by @c's Miguel Carvalhais, Essays on Radio: Can I Have 2 Minutes of Your Time? brings together 39 artists from the experimental electronica scene, paying tribute to or drawing inspiration from the oldest electronic media. Each piece is exactly 120 seconds, which creates a rather frantic pace; the listener soon loses track of whose contribution will play next and the music turns into a nearly uninterrupted continuum of juxtaposed sonic statements. The artists touch base…
Rakhilim
2003 release ** "One of the first albums by mysterious extravagant darkwave project [2003], that sounds somewhere between melancholic psychosis and a child’s play - like a bizarre orchestra from an alien world, charming with multidimensional electronic magic, exotic ethereal vocals, positively hypnotizing layout, yet maintaining an esoteric charge that lurks deeper, delving into caballa and magic of numbers, hidden under macabre jolly mask, equally inspired by 80-ies flavored electronic avantga…
Grains Of Voices
2025 stock The idea of Grains of Voices was born when Åke Parmerud was commissioned to write a work for the Swedish Radio. A journey around the world, recording the different inflections of the human voice then followed and the material was processed in the studio to make this electro-acoustic composition.
Grains of Voices is an electro-acoustic mix, a collage of voices from all over the world – singing, talking and shouting. The work was premiered in the Dag Hammarskjöld auditorium, in the UN…
Failed State Of Mind
2010 release ** "Jazkamer’s “Failed State of Mind” CD offers up nine tracks each clocking in at exactly 3:20 a piece, recorded between 2008-2011, across three different countries (Norway, Agrentina, and Vietnam – all couldn’t be more different), and collaged together to a cohesive yet disjointed album of mellow, weird ambient noise.The album reaches from field recordings of birdsong to beautifully amorphous feedback compositions, to up-tempo live drums meandering around quietly in the background…
Seplophobia / Post-Mortem Junkie
2008 release ** Limited to 76 copies. "Nice reissue of the long out-of-print and completely essential split cassette on Stop-Eject. Roughly fifteen minutes from each, a sinewy, ghoulish, plague-ridden mortification of industrial thud and graveyard horror. Recommended."
Untitled
2005 release ** "Obsessive electronic music to tell the end of the world chronicle. A project of electronics with strong colors where the occult imprint lives..."
Anti Matter Society
2002 release ** Limited edition of 555 hand-numbered copies. "In more than one case, Europe beyond the Iron Curtain has generated interesting groups, especially in the fields of industrial and esoteric music: just think of names like Laibach, Autopsia and ACTUS. Fellow countrymen of the latter, the Slovakian Simulacrum record their second work for our Amplexus, endowed with a distinctive character that, while remaining within the scope of a very dark ambient ritual, distinguishes them from the l…

Baby, It's Cold Inside
'The fun years', comprised of multi-instrumentalists Ben Recht and Isaac Sparks, have been making music together since the turn of the century, producing intriguing interrogations of ambient, drone, post-rock, and turntablism. Originally released in 2008 on the now-defunct Barge Recordings, 'baby it’s cold inside' is perhaps the high watermark of their discography. Equally concerned with microtonal nuance and harmonic intensity, it is both a product of its time and something well past it. The ch…

For his project "Conflict Music - The Soundtrack of World Cultures", composer and film director Christian von Borries deals with the role of music in military conflicts.
