The Ascending Scale
*350 copies limited edition.* 2024 stock.Nick Parkin and Z’ev were introduced to each other by Charles Powne of Soleilmoon Recordings at a social get together in London in 2005. The following year they ran into each other again at the ICA’s Sonic Arts Festival, and after a series of meetings and conversations realised they had a number of common sonic and philosophical threads, and decided to try recording together. The two musicians shared an interest in site-specific recordings and the atmosph…

Intoutof
2024 stock. “Intoutof” (say “Into out of”) is one of the The Hafler Trio’s most defining recordings. This 1998 reissue, coming ten years after the original date of release of the LP (and eight years after the first CD edition), reminds us of the power and mystery that have made The Hafler Trio such a respected and influential group. When KK Records first issued “Intoutof” on vinyl in 1988 they found that the program length was too long to fit onto an LP. Their solution was quite unique: They ran…
Odes To Bubbler
2024 stock. Controlled Bleeding was formed in 1978 in Boston. Over the years members have come and gone and the band has transformed and reinvented itself numerous times. In 2010 Paul Lemos remixed the Controlled Bleeding lineup. Drummer Tony Meola rejoined the band and Michael Bazini (a.k.a. DJ Butterface) came onboard to play electronics. The trio played a slew of live gigs in the New York City area, blasting audiences with an improvised instrumental mix of blistering guitar riffs, hypnotic ba…
Symphony Of A Great City: Backing Track
Compact disc in digipak packaging. Limited edition of 250 copies. Simon Fisher Turner's Symphony of a Great City: Backing Track in autor's own words. This score was commissioned for the film “Symphony of a Great City” by Walther Ruttmann. The musicians I choose to perform it with were Klara Lewis and Rainier Lericolais.

New Modern Music For Political Documentaries
Compact disc in digipak packaging. Limited edition of 250 copies. Simon Fisher Turner's New Modern Music For Political Documentaries is a series of soundscapes intended for both general listening and more so as a utility. A sort of library music for use by filmmakers to fill the sonic void in their visual work. Turner highly encourages sampling, editing, processing and manipulation as the user sees fit. Simon Fisher Turner is an English musician and difficult cat to pill. His acting career began…

The Art Of Mirrors (Homage To Derek Jarman)
Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson was a musical legend, one of the original members of Throbbing Gristle and an innovative musician in his own right. This live recording is an homage to the short film by Derek Jarman: The Art of Mirrors. Recorded before the end of Coil in 2004 and captured here on cd."This ‘Homage to Derek Jarman’ is really a triple homage in itself. Obviously a cementation of the mastery of one of the original Throbbing Gristle noiser, the music by association contains the DNA of J…
The Great White Silence
As a soundtrack, The Great White Silence probably exceeded everyone's highest expectations, as it manages to be sublime and deeply emotionally resonant without ever becoming too forceful. In fact, it may very well be a masterpiece, though I won't know for certain until the film gets a US release. As a decontextualized album, it is a bit flawed solely because it has been removed from its intended purpose as part of a larger whole. There are a number of passages that I absolutely love, but they…
