★Thalamos
The Honey Dodger
Australian artist/author/designer/musician Matthew Revert weaves something of a hazy opera, leaving crumbs of hypnosis, rap mixtapes, portastudio songwriters, and the overall feeling of waking up several times throughout the course of a night with the television on. Commissioned by Transmedia Borders / British Council in Mexico This work was released by Athens based label Thalamos in 2019
To The Scaffold
To The Scaffold is the new solo material from Clay Kolbinger (Math Balance Volumes, Private Anarchy) under his Termite Acropolis moniker. Decaying tape music is spread across the 6 pieces of this tape, completing a foggy wilderness.
Empire / Flat Rock
Dark and gloomy string arrangements by Michigan’s Michael Collino (Dog Lady Island, Alien Passengers) on both sides, concluding to an intentional dragged out silence on side B to complete those sounds of loss. “Funeral Zither” at its best.
Misopedia
Misopedia is Allen Mozek’s (Good Area, No Intention, Vitrine ) first release under his own name. Side A consists of Anatomy of Nothing, while Earthbound Editions constitutes the B side. Misopedia is a recreation and a document on tape of the strong feelings Mozek has as a listener. Listening as a form of participating. Recorded in 2016 & Mastered by Sean McCann"Between walls is where all the furniture is and the books and the people" -Hannah Weiner "When a duck is not a duck" -Ethan Stowe

Panos Alexiadis (b. 1984) from Athens, Greece. He has studied the classical piano and sound engineering.

Rotating Surfaces
After his stunning “The Shape of Failures Past” release (Granny records 2013), Yannis Kotsonis (Sister Overdrive, Acte Vide, Knot Gallery) returns with “Rotating Surfaces”. Kotsonis is now introducing us to a less known sonic side of him. He is leaving behind the electronic elements, to compose two untitled pieces with collected sounds of… rotating surfaces. Side A contains also processed samples from a duo improvisation with Andrew Raffo Dewar on saxophone, which took place at the Virgin Mary o…
