Arboreal Frippery
*60 copies limited edition* Ohio-based tape manipulator Meadow Argus (Tynan Krakoff) returns with over 60 minutes of memory mulching sound stew. The main aural sources stem from a momentous summer 2009 trainhopping/hitchhiking trip around America's West Coast with Tynan's brother Max, a seminal coming of age experience. During the trip, Tynan carried a microcassette pocket recorder and captured hours of raw audio. These memories are collaged & juxtaposed with found tapes & other family recording…
Figures of Speech
Oval Angle is the moniker of Geran Knol, a Dutch multidisciplinary visual artist and musician based in Antwerp, Belgium. His instrumental electronic music blends mellow and playful tones, characterized by plucky, offbeat sound design and wavering, askew melodies. Geran’s composition process is akin to a sketch on paper, slowly evolving and mutating as elements are added, subtracted, and altered. His debut LP for Moon Glyph, “Figures of Speech”, utilizes circular, melodic repetition found in mini…
Wormhole
Nicolas Gaunin, the moniker of Italian experimental electronic musician Nicola Sanguin, returns with his latest full-length “Wormhole”. This record bridges the gap between naturalistic polyrhythms and more expansive, cosmic technologies. Contrasted to his previous rain-soaked “Hulahula Kāne” LP, “Wormhole” has even more emphasis on unusual rhythms; propulsive and abstracted yet immediate. The sonic palette is diversified as well, incorporating synthetic real-world timbres alongside crisp and mor…
Hidden View
Leaving is the left-of-centre, electronics project of Rupert Thomas (Erasers), based in Perth, Western Australia. With a focus on hardware electronics, Thomas conjures immersive worlds of mood-driven synthesizer compositions that range from deep, slow moving ambience, to dense rhythms and hypnotic melodies. Forming over a decade ago as a home recording project on Whadjuk boodja (Perth, Western Australia), Thomas documented his early sound through a steady flow of CD-R’s and tapes before releasin…
Profiler
Excited and inspired by the evocative sounds of late 1980s synthesizer scores and the movies they sound-tracked, Rupert Lally returns with new album ‘Profiler’. A scorching 80s synthesizer heavy imaginary soundtrack to the movie playing in his head, ‘Profiler’ by Rupert Lally is a loose sequel to his album ‘Hacker’, a 2022 release also on Spun Out Of Control. But instead of hunting down computer criminals, this time his FBI protagonist, known in the trade as a Profiler, is on the trail of a seri…
Tropismi
Tip! Gabriele Gasparotti’s second full length album, Tropismi, is a collection of mesmerizing compositions with masterful polyrhythmical textures and harmonies, strings, prepared piano, magnetic tape and field recordings. Gasparotti's unique style uses classical composition techniques such as counterpoint, canone inverso and serialism to create morphing expanding harmonies continuously. Tropismi features stunning cellotronics by Benedetta Dazzi, cellist and sound designer with which Gasparotti e…
The Play-Back
Lovingly packaged Lebanese CD of skillful turntablism from Dj Sniff on Annihaya.
Mistbreaker
*2024 stock. 50 copies limited edition* Recorded to 1/4 inch tape on a 2-track reel to reel during 2021 by Ben Van Houdt using oscillators, tape recorders, tube preamp and effects.
Tape Cuts II
*2024 stock. 50 copies limited edition* "The second tape started to develop when I was looking for a way to play Tape Cuts live. A track was composed and its shapes were repeatedly explored. The final form was ultimately recorded in a single take on 1/4 inch tape, mirroring a live performance and celebrating one moment in time.
After completing this recording I was faced with a mass of tape loops left hanging on the wall, the wreckage of the composing process. Layers and layers of sound buried a…
Enochian Music For Beginners
What if Coil would have gone playing Black Metal music? Well, we cannot say it for sure, but probably the outcome could have been something very similar to some of these last Teatro Satanico tracks. Heavily influenced by explicit occult and esoteric topics, “Enochian Musick For Beginners" is an unforeseen psychedelic journey beyond the frontiers of the usual post-industrial noise. A true original mixture of electric and electronic frequencies. It got something new, something that inspires awe, s…
Oppressor
After two demos and a trilogy of albums (on OEC, Tesco and Unrest) Böltorn decided to call it quits.The goals were achieved, there was nothing more to accomplish. In their wake they did however leave one recording behind; a "live in the studio" session recorded in January of 2022. These recordings are the most uncompromising ones the band ever did and fueled by anger, rage and alcohol in the company of good friends this is as hard and good as it gets.The live & final BØLTORN album. In one word: …
Up The Rolls
The summer of love is here...Claudio Frassine (MADEMOISELLE BISTOURI / NORTH CENTRAL) teams up with Henrik Nordvargr Björkk (FOLKSTORM / MZ. 412 / BØLTORN) to bring some seriously filthy noise to your dungeon.This is as extreme as it gets; blazing textures and walls of feedback collide with junk noise, roaring electronics and the commanding lyrics of Nordvargr.Harsh noise connoisseurs as well as power electronics fans take note - this is how it's done!A fantastic heavyweight debut.In a coupld of…
Tub Of Deep Green Ink
A limited CDr included with the A Castle Popping LP (R11, 2015). Tub of Deep Green Ink compliments the nature of the A Castle Popping, presenting ten tracks from 2011-2014. Ranging from layered string recordings, like the pastoral 2012 piece Inverness String Variations, to computerized-vocal experiments, as with ADR Aria & The Wind Sick (both from 2014). Human voice is dissected and stitched back together; examined under odd light. 2011’s Rooms of Night explores the interior of Sean’s old house …
Radio Banana
Just when you think it's all over, along comes something completely unpredictable - in this case, a modest but uncompromisingly original confection that mixes latin brass arrangements (sort of), great drumming, medium wave radio and the many characters of the accordion. Simplicity, complexity, surprise, familiarity -and all without undue fuss but adding up to something exotic and new. Radio Banana is a record that wears its heart plainly on its sleeve. It doesn't play by genre rules, or fashion …
Tuba Intim
Contemporary music for tuba and a revelation of an under-utilised musical voice. For stretched and traditional techniques. Includes works by Lutz Glandien (Tuba and Tape), Morton Feldman, Igor Stravinsky and Michael himself. Excellent collection; and unusual.
The Wind Rises (Electropleinair Sound Diary)
First released in Hungary in 1987, this is an extraordinary work combining ensemble playing, documentary recording, studio manipulation, electronics and some stunning compositional conception. Featuring Marta Sebastjen, the Amaninda group, WYXOMPHONIC group, Mandel Quartet and a star gallery of other instrumentalists of all kinds. A unique work we worked years to acquire - a masterwork in every sense.
Zgamoniums
File under early Russian industrial rock/art; Harry Partch, incorporating primitive analogue electronics. A legend in art and industrial music circles, ZGA was formed under the old regime in Riga, Lavia, in 1984, by Nick Sudnik and Valery Dudkhin. Unable to rehearse acoustically because of the neighbours, they invented their own instruments from scrap and springs and shaped metal fitted with contact microphones; these were not just noise instruments, but ways of accessing complex pitches, strang…
Argonautika
A sound drama for tuba and electronics that constructs its own rich, twilit, rather alien, world. Only the sound of the tuba (sometimes), a few waves and a little thunder sound familiar, everything else is a mysterious presence; the electronics are not at all conventional and though much of the sound is clearly derived somehow from the tuba, it offers no foothold in a familiar place. If landscape were ever an appropriate metaphor for the product of a congeries of sounds, it would be applicable h…
Black White And Grey
1992 release ** A complete new work plus 'Death In The Blue Lake'. Combines playing and through-composition with manipulated and environmental sound in dramatic, narrative, psychological constructions. Quite unique. 'Death' based on a novel; texts in new works by Chris Cutler.
