** Edition of 75 ** Ikuisuus presens "When instrument is in tune, music happens by itself" by Antti Tolvi and "Harpolek" by J. Koho. Antti Tolvi - When instrument is in tune, music happens by itself : "I remembered that ”When instrument is in tune, music happens by itself” was Ellen Fullman´s thought. Then I checked what she actually said was ”When you are really in tune, the music plays itself”. And I also noticed that it wasn’t Ellen´s own thought, she had heard it from her North Indian vocal …

* Edition of 50 * These ten four minute minimalistic, repetitive, electronic drone pieces invite you to calm down and listen closely. Each of these tracks has a focus on sound and its different qualities such as: pitch, timbre, texture, duration and location. Notes and synthesizer sounds are selected so that their combination creates a harmonious drone with few simultaneous, simple and repetitive elements. Preset synthesizer sounds are sustained to reveal this inner life of each combination. In …

Following her debut LP (kraak, 2018) and a string of tapes and 7-inches, Red Brut drops her second album, Cloaked Travels. It is a joined release by the Finnish labels Ikuisuus and Lal Lal Lal. In many aspects, Cloaked Travels is an amazing realisation of what Red Brut does best: molding the absurd, the amateurish, and the crude into beautiful and elegant sound pieces. These eight “songs”, organised in two suites, dwell between abstract avant-garde and pop sensibility. Working with cassette tape…

**100 copies** Kraus (also known as Pat Kraus, formerly known as Prince Kraus) is a New Zealand experimental musician and composer. The New Zealand Listener called him "a national treasure" and "one of the most quietly important and interesting people making music in New Zealand". His music crosses the boundaries of electronic music, post-rock, no wave, space folk, noise pop, punk rock and martian stomp. I Could Destroy You With a Single Thought was previously self-released on CDr, 2004 - and on…

Bruce Russell and Noel Meek return with their second harsh noise collaboration. Their first, Classical Music (2018) was an all-electronics wrestling bout that simulated engine testing on a long-haul passenger jet. Their new album combines guitar, violin and electronics and was recorded in a wood workshop. You can hear the power tools, even though none were actually used. Extreme noise can sometimes be associated with offensive, racist or extreme-right views. The New Zealand duo have chosen to sp…

**60 copies, tip!** "Oxygen, water, bubbles, outflows, movements and bends of water, the dance of round bubbles that replace each other. They fly around stretching and thickening. Such is the structure of water. Water is another level of consciousness inaccessible to human understanding. To understand the water you need to merge with her and become her."Music: metra.vestludDesign: KmerlRecorded at Yekaterinburg, Russia

**60 copies** Based in Jyväskylä, Finland, Keijo Virtanen is somewhat of a legend in the whole finnish psych scene (on the same level as Pekka Airaksinen - in fact the two have collaborated before). He’s been working on music for ages but his work has only been starting to get attention during the last few years. This artist’s music is unlike any other, it is often based in ambient and drone and incorporates weird traditional folk instruments from around the world just as much as electronic inst…

**60 copies** Muuton Koto is a collaboration work of Finnish musicians Veli-Matti Ikävalko (Kutomo, Tulasi) and Jani Hirvonen (Uton). The recordings of this album started already in 2010, but it took almost ten years before it was fully finished (but there was also many years when "nothing" really happened). It was recorded andmixed partially in Chantepie (France), Brisbane (Australia), Kotka, Helsinki and Turku (Finland). Muuton Koto's music is a colourful psychedelic folk; with a mix of sweet …

**75 copies** Rabid trio blasting out some smash and grab free muzak voodoo with deformed, blown-out grooves and brooding, midnight atmospheres that give you the same high-torque hairdryer treatment as you would get sat in the front row at a Cairo Free Jazz Ensemble gig or listening to a Vermonster LP full blast in a shipping container. Unsettling as it is invigorating, layers upon layers of elastic electronics and graceful keys lurking around - spectators to the reoccurring elephant seal deathm…

**300 copies** Originally released on cassette by Corpus Hermeticum in 1994. All sounds by Alastair Galbraith and Bruce Russell. "New Zealand is on summer holidays all through the month of January. For some reason I had the house to myself, the wife and kids were elsewhere. Alastair Galbraith brought over some instruments and we plugged in a cassette recorder. We spent the sunny afternoon setting up combinations of instruments and seeing what happened. We had recorded the Concord LP the year bef…

**250 copies** Improvised soundtrack to a non-existent Western, recorded in the late '90s by James Kirk, Nathan Thompson and Tim Cornelius. "Deep South kitchen-sink explorers have been circling the drain in counterclockwise fashion for at least half my life and yet I am still reduced to shameless gobsmackery in the presence of this sterling new collection of historic treasures. Committed live-to-tape in the comfy climes of a living room / recording studio / temple affectionately known as 'Canong…

**99 copies** Black Trumpets are Alex Reed and Keijo Virtanen from Jyväskylä, Finland. Alex is best known for his work with Jukka Nousiainen and Mikko Siltanen in Räjäyttäjät. Meanwhile Keijo’s long career has seen him roam freely in the outer reaches of the musical galaxy with bands such as Rambling Boys, Vapaa and ever-changing constellations of artists, such as Pekka Airaksinen – one of the most important pioneers of experimental and electronic music in Finland. Black Trumpets is a change for…

**75 copies** Italy and Argentina blend together in slow motion and atonality: the collaboration of Italian music explorer Devid Ciampalini and Argentinan free sonic experimentalist Pablo Picco have a voice and a path of their own: dense layers of analog synths erupt from every layer beneath the ground, field recordings of explosive apparatus, and smokey transmissions of percussion, strings and voices find their way to the cliff of human voices which appear to be broadcasted from inside a giant …

**75 copies** Varropas is a Finnish duo that features Jusso Paaro and Samuli Kytö, playing guitar and synthesizers to create amiable 'cosmic' music. The Rakuuna tape offers two side-long meanders through a very benign and sunlit universe; watery half-melodies, soft-focus guitar tones, synth lines extending as far into infinity as they can manage. Pleasant and oddly compelling in a low-key way.

**75 copies** A free improvised music duo recorded on February 28, 2018, at Flimflam night in Ryan’s Bar, London.  Alan Wilkinson: bass clarinet, tenor saxophone - Tasos Stamou: diy synths, Korg Volca FM, digital horn. 

**300 copies** Neptunalia, a festival of Neptune, celebrated at Rome, of which very little is known. The day on which it was held, was probably the 23rd of July. The festival was celebrated with games. In respect to the ceremonies of this festival nothing is known, except that the people used to build huts of branches and foliage, in which they probably feasted, drank, and amused themselves. Includes tracks by David Edren, H. Takahashi, Nuslux, Olli Aarni, Ilpo Numminen, Nonlocal Society, Kuupuu…

**Edition of 75** Lovely new release by Cameron Stallones, the well-known American musician and producer, mostly known as Sun Araw. "In translating the captured audio signals to the human aural spectrum, there is some noticable loss of fidelity, howewer the melodic information has been preserved to a remarkable degree. Please enjoy these sounds from the gamma quadrant!" 

"Uli Rois’ Bird People celestial meditations on the recurring image of the water buffalo in eastern mythology. The animal plays an important role in the myths surrounding the Hindu god of Death Yama, Oya, the goddess of change, and Lao Tsu who left China over the Han Gu Pass on the back of a water buffalo. Abstract guitars and electronics drowning in tanpura drones". (Sloow tapes) "New tape from Uli Rois’ (Feathered Coyote Records et al) solo/communal psych/drone unit: here Rois uses guitar, ele…

**25 copies** Psychedelic sounds and parellel universes and dimensions. Mixed in a futuristic washing machine (from Egypt), later sundried, and then cooked in a spring water with olive oil, Buddha's tears, goethite pieces and rainbow colours. Originally released by Magma Tones in 2017, this cassette version contains one bonus track. Recorded in Turku, Finland. Music and sleeve art by Jani Hirvonen.

**75 copies** "Concrete" sounds and sequences recorded with delay / looper pedals, then built around more layers / details mostly with cassette loops and sampler. The aim was to create the space which is quite simple and elemental but dense, intensive and organic. Some may found reference points to Zoviet France, Nocturnal Emissions and other early '80s industrial bands. All sounds by Stuart Chalmers and Edward Sol, spring 2018. "Many of the artists covered by Vital Weekly know each other and ma…
