Slow Urge
Tip! *150 copies limited edition on chrome tapes* Slow Urge is the second release by Primitive Wings, released only two months after the project’s debut full-length CD, 'Morphosis'. Recorded during the same sessions as the full-length, these seven noisy tracks formed a branch of their own, which is different, but still gets nourishment from the same soil as the predecessor. 'Slow Urge' is 21 minutes of straightforward mono noise. The approach is raw and primitive, but it still lets the nuances a…
Clouds Without Water
Clouds Without Water emerged from the chance meeting of two ambient experimentalists who played at an electronic music festival as solo artists and discovered a musical affinity. They decided to collaborate long distance during the loneliest months of the pandemic lockdowns, sending tracks to each other without plans or discussion, only wordless questions buried in the music. These are the answers they fashioned. Clouds Without Water bridges the gap between granularity and haze, grit and smoothn…

Backpfeifenphaseshift
Two Form a Click (DJ Snaffy, Wretchen Redspiders) collide with Horatio Pollard to deliver two sides of beautifully coalesced psychedelic synthesis, heavy with dub’s production values and freed from the grid of analog electronics. Though primarily operated by the duo of Snaffy and Redspiders, 2FAC has an open door policy which is happy to embrace lone lurkers such as Pollard. Pollard, born in Ibiza, raised in the UK and resident in Berlin since the mid 2000’s, has surely been exposed to all ends …
"HEALING"
ugne&maria is the duo project of Ugnė Vyliaudaitė and Marija Rasa Kudabaitė, both based in Brussels. Their music is made from a mosaic of samples and carefully triggered field recordings, in dialogue with Vyliaudaitė’s violin. Intricate and calming but far from ambient, in that where ambient music recedes ugne&maria’s music sounds always close to the skin. The compositions are subtle and precise, setting up a logic and then gently manipulating it or letting it hover for several minutes. Elem…
Bonn Route
«A collection of pieces about the discovery of sounds and sonic universes hidden in objects, places and within yourself.» - Feldermelder & Julian Sartorius
Live Performance 2019 - 2020
«The nearly infinite improvisational potential in my performances is a result of tweaking the technology, using it in unpredictable ways, musically exploiting it, and maybe even misusing it.» - Svetlana Maraš
You Really Should Come to the House
*2023 stock. Limited edition.* Magie is the title of a poem by Henri Michaux where the protagonist spent twenty years struggling to put himself into an apple in pursuit of serenity. Beijing-born, Paris-based musician P. Murk pictures writing an imaginary letter to his friend before fixing himself in an apple. The letter guides its recipient, step by step, to the musician’s room and to his table on which placed the apple, P. Murk’s new humble abode. You Really Should Come to the House is the late…
Hearing Ghosts
*2023 stock. Limited edition.* Producer and film composer Keju Luo further explores electroacoustic possibilities on his latest album. During a period of writer's block, Keju resorted to “stealing” and sampled public domain recordings of works by a wide range of composers from Marais to Liszt to Debussy. These decades-old materials performed by the now deceased were edited and processed until barely recognizable while maintaining their orchestral and melodic nature, and then carefully layered wi…
Leverages 杠杆
Born in Yamaguchi city in 1982; Masahide Tokunaga lives in Tokyo. He plays improvisation music, using alto saxophone.Tokunaga released the CD Alto Saxophone on Slub Music in 2009. Since around 2010 he has set himself apart from other sax players in pursuit of establishing an extremely original blowing style/playing structure permeated with delicacy and tension. The results of this exploration can be heard on his following solo/collaboration albums released on Ftarri, and also the new cassette in…
September '21
Before the concert, we hadn’t discussed much of what we will be playing. Kirill proposed to place the "June ’21" score on the table, to follow the impression, the feeling, the direction of what it suggests to play. Sometimes we noticed how one part of the score or another would lead us to new ideas whilst we were playing. It was a special concert because of its circumstances. We decided to have one big table for both our setups, and to be standing up during the performance. Kirill used some obje…
Dali Sections 2018-2021
"In 2017 after I finished a tour of Taiwan and returned to Beijing, I left my hard drive on one of those share bikes and it was lost forever. I had close to ten years’ worth of live recordings on that hard drive (I never made any backups). Since then, I’ve made sure to keep recordings of my live performances well organised. To a certain extent, it’s through live performance that I create new ideas. What I regret, then, is that every performance from different phases of my music making life will …
June '21
The score for June '21 was made in early summer of 2021, in a dialogical process of close live collaboration. Everything we talked about — music, time, politics, and place — was treated as a kind of material with the possibility of being brought into the piece. We didn’t aim to use sound to express such concepts directly, but rather created music with attention to the circumstances: when it was written, where, to whom and by whom it would be played. There was a mutual understanding that we were …

Outside
*Limited edition of 200 copies.* Sturdily rooted in Michigan but at home anywhere she steps, Shelley Salant is a wearer of many hats. Anyone who's worked in even the outer reaches of underground music and D.I.Y. culture in the last ten years has probably run into Shelley, maybe when she booked their band a show, or had them by the radio show she's done tirelessly for almost a decade or possibly when she passed through town playing with Tyvek, Chain & The Gang, The Vitas, Swimsuit or one of the m…
