Illuminant/Glory
Illuminant/Glory is a wild awake, which marks the transition to a new perception of the self. A solitary trip towards the discover of the feral nature which ideally leads to death (Illuminant) and to rebirth (Glory) of whom embarks on this trip. Through sampling in real time floor-tom, voice and synths, the listener is buried under layers of percussions, drones and mantras, dragged further down ("Come down with us") to exorcise the fear of what he is in nature. Only confronting with death…

Gentle Electronics
In the pieces featured on this record, I have chosen simple electronic means - the kind that are commonplace, accessible, cheap, and easy to use - and I put them to work in a mostly-theatrical way: a situation of representation, one that is unique, new, and creative, where the focus lies in esthetics and poetics instead of in technological prowess. An imagination of otherness, where you don't know anymore whether the other is the soundworld produced out of time in the 'black box' of electronics …
Realite De L'Automation Directe
Superb re-issue of 2nd cassette release from 1983! The true futuristic/bruitistic industrial machine sound from this French master! Comes in "heavy duty" oversized deluxe cover, lim./numb. 500 on black 200gr. vinyl. "Bruitism is the representation of a living, biological body, not unrelated but on the contrary intimate to the substance. The nature/technique gap is totally, in The Art of Noises, the most accomplished form of a reconciliation with industrial mechanization. By highlighting the a…

Deutschland Femdom
The Ligurian duo St.Ride, composed of Edo Grandi and Maurizio Gusmerini, is one of the most ambiguous and lest framed bands of Italian experimental music. Their first works came out for some labels but the rest has all been self-released on cd-r for Niente, diy label that the two members use for their side projects. The only thing that counts is their music, an out-and-out studio made of unexpected events. From the acid, electronic strokes of Primitivo to the successful mix between On-U Sound ta…

Andante Plumbeo
Umanzuki is a three-piece act based in Florence, Italy whose sound and aesthetics are in constant metamorphosis: moving from a former psych free- rock mood, evolving into an increasing dissolution of structures, they are now completing their ascent and reaching an even more abstract form of ambient. Wrapped in dark, synthetic matter, with this 30 minute-long improv session Umanzuki penetrate into the fields of a dilated and deconstructed ambient sound. Recorded in Florence during March 2015 and …
SIMEON
2013 release **
"Korn presents two pieces, each 30 minutes long, which, though dissimilar in pitch (the second is higher), are otherwise tougher to prise apart than the Beugers above. Each is composed of a single sine tone, initially heard as a continuous sound for some 1 1/2 minutes, then repeated with silences interpolated, silences which increase in both length and number upon each iteration. The last line, the eighth in the example printed in the booklet, consists of three very brief blips. …
Information Pollution
180-gram LP. Includes printed inner sleeve. Like some ingenious combination of John Cage's chance operations and the numbers station data stream captured on The Conet Project, Strategy's Information Pollution immerses listeners in baffling sonic waters. It's a riveting work that converts the enigmatic effluvia of shortwave and dispatch radio chatter into thrumming, static-riddled clouds of ambience. An undercurrent of unease wafts through Information Pollution's four lengthy tracks, as barely au…
Color Attic
"Bulbs is a band that I like so much that I started a record label to rep their work. I put out their Light Ships album in 2008 because I was so impressed with how futuristic their music was. They've remained active on their own terms since then, releasing a number of micro-editions of their music including a few incredible tapes (Sky Listening, Moon Episodes) and a few splits (a 12" with Mouthus (IMPREC 255LP) and a 7" with Wobbly). Generally Bulbs' music does not sound like the guitar/drum ins…
ein(e) ausfuhrende(r) seiten 218 - 226
2006 release **
"'ein(e) ausführende(r) seiten 218 - 226' is Manfred Werder's composition from 2002, realized by Antoine Beuger's electronic sound and released by Edition Wandelweiser in 2006. The 72-minute piece consists of a very quiet single electronic sound from Beuger, and short silences alternately appearing between electronic sounds. Beuger's minimal electronic sound, which evokes in me a chirr of a small cricket on a quiet autumn night, contains an absolute purity that seems to reject an…

Transparent city (volumes 3 and 4)
2007 release **
"Between 2004 and 2006, Pisaro began a series of field recordings. Each time, it consisted of a single sound recording made in Los Angeles, in a single location, strategically placed so that nothing stood out, places without a center, blurred spaces at which Pisaro pointed a microphone without moving. From this series of recordings was born Transparent City, two monumental and epic double CDs in their duration: they exceed 4 hours and 40 minutes in fact. Each disc is composed of …
The Ritual
Finally the time has come to re-release the first ever recordings by Belgian minimal synth masters Twilight Ritual.

Twilight Ritual was/is the main project by Geert Coppens and Peter Bonne. During the early eighties they were involved in many other band…
Terrible Fake
Terrible Fake explores rhythmic relationships between drums and piano in context of somewhat crippled art of trip-hop. It is mostly based on irregular beats in order to create kind of fragmented groove. Different characters are alsoemphasized through mostly chromatic movements of piano in different registers, producing either undefined tonal system or droning wall of sound.Terrible Dub is nevertheless a "dub" version of the piece which minimizes Terrible Fake to it's fundamentals regarding time …
