WhiteOut
"Even without visiting a place, we often think we know it. It’s a syndrome of the modern age. The world is right before us, on screen, summarised and sensorially curated into a particular vision that casts light across ‘just so much’ of an impression of a place and a time. In some ways, I realised this phenomenon most strongly when I visited Antarctica in the summer of 2010. In my mind’s ear (and eye) certain features of that place were front and centre – imagined, as to be real. The stark colou…
Flitting Splits Reverb Adage (Book)
An assignment: find the titles of Rob Mazurek’s records and the names of his bands. Put them in a line. Now tell me he’s not a poet. Mazurek is a bona fide polymath. He thinks in multiple media. One modality bleeds into another, the musical into the visual into the verbal. And they are cumulative, as seen and heard and read in these beautiful poems. Colors explode, repetitions draw musicality out of words, text refers to the shape of a sound. Conjuring a cosmic sonosphere, the sound-crust on the…

Written Systems
*50 copies limited edition* "Written Systems" contains four new sonic poems by Alfredo Costa Monteiro based on speech synthesis, inspired by structural ideas in grammatology and linguistics. "Real Objects" is based on a sentence that is never heard in its entirety. Its fragments are revealed little by little over repetitions, offering a conceptual deconstruction. The absence of natural language’s continuity leads to an isolation of words from speech, converting them into real sonic objects. "Ins…
Baroque Non Baroque #27815 (LP)
*110 copies limited edition. Includes repulsive cover photo and hand-stamped labels* ‘Nothing compares to you’ was about Peter Fengler and Sinéad was right! There’s no losers here, just the bare and brutal leftovers of a very long night or a really early morning. Is the sound your uncle Peter makes sexy or sexist? Is knocking on wood kinky or slapping the salami sufficient? Is it a Karlheinz with a Karlsquell or a Cage with a Cara? Or just tins for fears? Complex comparisons more zonked than the…

Montreal Spy Diary/Nothing/Living Room Tour Montreal
Comes with a 24 pp. booklet.

Yan Jun …
Terminal
*180 copies limited edition* "Several years ago, I walked away from a long-standing abusive relationship. The process of healing wasn’t linear, nor was it easy—but it began with something elegantly simple: walking. I spent countless hours walking through the city and in particular Point Pleasant Park, combing its rocky beaches searching for "sea brick" washed ashore. Over the course of 2 years, I collected 104 pieces of broken bricks. Each brick, a symbol of a week, a step, a moment of reclaimin…

This accumulation of singularities put together, added and subtracted, all at once, gives us an almost musi…
