Signs and Accuracy
Big Tip! *Limited to 70 hand-numbered copies.* "Signs and Accuracy" is the first collaborative work between Jon Wesseltoft and Niklas Adam and the austere title sets the mood from the start. The composition process as well as the interaction between the two artists, constitutes something new for both of them. The signs possess accuracy; they are a unified whole, materialized and executed within a singular and unexplored surrounding space. "Signs and Accuracy", out now on Coherent States, is musi…
Delphi
*50 copies limited edition* The Delphi was one of the greatest silent movie cinemas of Berlin. It was in operation since the late 20s, it shone in its own golden era, was bombed during the Second World War, was closed and then reused as a warehouse; its walls faded, its floor grew mildewy and its facade today does not indicate anything about what once went on the inside. The interior itself maintains a faded echo of its former glory and its integration in this century’s 20s makes it a hidden gem…
Etudes De Rien
* Edition of 200 copies, black vinyl * The New Blockaders are unique in the history of music and art. What, in our opinion, stands supreme in TNB’s 40-year existence is a passionate execution of their anarchistic and unconventional stance. In a biographical reference, TNB are often cited as pioneers of Noise music but for TNB themselves Noise music is not just an assault on tonality but a complex language of communication. From Luigi Russolo's 1913 Art Of Noise manifesto to TNB’s T.I.C. manifest…
Histoire de l’Art
*In process of stocking. Limited to 50 hand-numbered copies.* In the fall of 2018 a close friend of Harold Schellinx registered as an undergraduate student in art history at the Université Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne UFR3. As French is not her mother tongue, she recorded the many live-lectures she was attending with a dictaphone application on her iPhone, so as to be able to eventually re-listen to, all or parts of, some of them. During these lectures a substantial fraction of the students took no…
To All My Hideous Children
*In process of stocking. Limited to 30 hand-numbered copies.* "Το All My Hideous Children" collects some of Alice Kemp's emphatically uncanny rites of evocation. Stripped of conventional music interpretation, "To All My Hideous Children", out now on Coherent States, is music from a different world; A sound art work soaked in a dark, raw & disturbed experimental intensity that exhibits Kemp's dream state connection to nature. An audio documentation of eerie recitations, shadows, eroded sounds, fi…
A "Therefore" Between Two Non-Sequiturs
* Limited to 70 hand-numbered copies. Green cassette with white imprint. Comes in regular jewel case and 4pp 150gsm paper covers * The music and art of Fleshtone Aura is a thing very much defined and abstract at the same time. It is hard to describe in words but easy to feel. It is an orgiastic and furious sound collage but simultaneously, a minimalist composition in the repeating pattern in which we can easily find ourselves lost to. It is pure musique concrete. It is clearly tape music. It is …
Western Rituals
Duerf's debut full length was born as a concept initially in the mid 00's but the actual recording process didn't start until 2008. It was finally completed in the first half of 2016. The idea was to try to utilize the machinations and aesthetics of noise as acquired tools rather as post-modernist statements in a humble attempt to produce a direct expression of the experience of life in urban landscapes, to reclaim a first-person narration from the overwhelming presence of these colossal constru…
Worms
From 2008 until 2017 Danai Simou has been working on the project WORMS. WORMS is a study on how inflictive memories can affect the present time. A research on sexuality, the human body, fears and desires, either through the use of her own body or over her close surroundings. Shot from the time she was seventeen years old until now. She has used DSLR, mirrorless, compact cameras and smartphones. A hand crafted xerox-printed photo zine with screen printed cover including the same titled project. A…
Split
Andy Bolus (UK) is a special case of a multidisciplinary artist, the aural part of which presents an extensive discography and hundreds of live concerts under the Evil Moisture moniker. Superficialy, there is always this specific harsh essence that he creates either as Evil Moisture or Olympic Shit Man (along with Mark Durgan), but deeper inside "Abnormal loves in School Of Meat Cutting", a psychedelic concrete cave noise takes hold. An amazing atmosphere of sound in the vein of a small basement…
Crease
As listeners, we often fantasize about music collaborations between artists, yet not solely driven by the parameter of "artists we like". Before jumping ahead to any interpretations, we don't just like Danae and Michalis, we like them a lot. But that's not the reason their cooperation is so unique, which is evident on how well they complement each other and communicate in a level of musical language. A simple listening to both solo LPs, [herewith] and Nylon (both on Michali's Holotype Editions) …
