Courbettes (Book)
Elica has started its publishing activities with a rather osé artist book entitled Courbettes by Jacques Brissot, whom Elica considers one of the greatest living visual artists. An original member of Pierre Schaeffer's group at the O.R.T.F., Brissot has had an artistic career in film-making, including several documentaries (some in collaboration with Luc Ferrari) and short films for the INA, such as the much acclaimed and visually astounding Egypt O Egypt, for which Ferrari composed the soundtra…

Elles Sont De Sortie N° 119 - 120 (Book)
Very nice artists' book by Bruno RIchard. 48 pages of pornographic illustrations, mostly in Indian ink, some enhanced with ballpoint pen, red, as it should be! I consider this the second issue, an ESDS Impostures sexuelles issue having been published in 2017 at Crocs Électriques.

Dialogue Ordinaire Avec La Machine
**Limited edition of 300 vinyl copies, comes with a 30x30cm 4-page booklet. Gatefold cover** 2019 has been a fantastic year for the late, great master of electroacoustic music, Luc Ferrari. We’ve witnessed the release of two astounding LPs of archival works - Photophonie, via Transversales Disques, and Music Promenade / Unheimlich Schön, via Recollection GRM, not to mention the incredible, sprawling volume, Complete Works, published by Ecstatic Peace Library. Now we’re thrilled to see yet anoth…
The Vitamin B12
More catchy than Dlin Dlon Cowboy. The Vitamin B12's music maintains an ingenious home-made sound in a refined bric-a-brac of experimental sound explorations, adventurous and successful juxtapositions and playful melodies and structures. This set presents 24 kaleidoscopic miniatures, like the images which adorn the cover, assembled with amazingly gracious do-it-yourself pop sensibility, groovy lounge tendencies and a passionate curiosity for noise and sound modification. The history of The Vitam…
Play the hits from Danny Dark
Walter & Sabrina were responsible for one of the greatest musical cycles of the last decade, a mind-boggling masterpiece ofexquisite and eccentric composition, outstanding lyrical concept and depth, and startling orchestration, whose scale can only compare with the musical and conceptual intricacy of classic masterworks such as Parks' Song Cycle, Battisti's Anima Latina, Gainsbourg's L'Homme a la Tete de Chou, Perfect Vacuum's A Guide to the Music of the 21st Century and a very few others.A proj…
Painting with Priests
**red version, very last copies** Robot Records, Yesmiisolga and Elica are happy to present the first Christoph Heemann and Steven Stapleton duo album. It took almost thirty years, but in 2012, thanks to Yesmissolga and Musiche Possibili, two leading and influential artists of underground experimental music, who have been marginally working together despite their long friendship and common attitudes, managed to directly create music together for the first time in occasion of the concert held at …
Little Skull
** last copies** Outstanding new release on the legendary Elica records, a lovely LP record housed in hand-made unfolding pop-up sleeve in a limited edition of 150 copies only. It cannot get more mysterious than Little Skull's (sometimes spelled Li'l Skull) output so far, a small series of privately produced lathe-cut singles, plus the odd mini-CDr, released in tiny editions of a very few dozen copies and with basically no names or notes, just a consistency in their astonishing packaging. In fa…
Presque Rien Avec Luc Ferrari
RESTOCKED The first DVD release on Elica is a beautiful 50-minute portrait of composer Luc Ferrari made by his friend Jacqueline Caux with Olivier Pascal, which is fully informative and acutely representative of Ferrari's spirit. Featuring Elise Caron, as Luc Ferrari and herself, and Luc Ferrari, as himself only, going through archive documentation, intriguing dialogues, invented autobiographies, music performances, evocative installations, sidewalk accidents, encounters with sound-sculptor Chri…
Confusional Quartet
Futurism with its dynamic force, youthful spirit, attention to innovation and a bit of Italian histrionism; the sixties with their hopeful and playful atmosphere and their crisp and catchy music; Italy with its beautiful sun, beaches, Mediterranean brightness and laxity; minimalism with its focus on the deepness of details; all the things happening in Bologna in the late seventies, among some of the newest and most creative experiences in film, performance, fashion and music. With these elements…
Materiali per tre esecutori e nastro magnetico
Hailed in the early seventies as the best Italian group of avant-garde jazz/rock along with Area and Perigeo, in the mid-seventies, with the release of their second album, Dedalus started a much more uncompromisingly experimental approach to music through the use and combination of disparate musical materials: improvisation, electronic music and musique concrète techniques, elements of contemporary classical composition, folk tunes, jazz, use of self-built and modified instruments for timbric re…
18-8-81
Marco Bertoni (also a member of the Confusional Quartet) in solo mode circa 1981. This 10" alternates between nice experimental pieces and jaunty piano works which are a bit too jaunty for me. Superb full color gatefold sleeve. Works for treated piano, electronics, etc., pure avant-garde, soundscapes & Futurist type musics. fter quitting the outstandingly original and enjoyable italian group confusional quartet, keyboard player marco bertoni, upon the invitation of the quartet's fifth member, re…
Danses Organiques
***Very last copies*** "Luc Ferrari is one of the most important and intriguing figures of the last forty years, a pioneer of musique concrète at the beginning of the Groupe de Recherche Musicales in Paris, and perhaps 'the only real artist among many excellent researchers' as someone suggested. With a very peculiar sensibility he creates his own musical world in which wit, sensuality, extreme sound realism, playful analytical abilities, social concerns, and love for good food are important a…
