"Gancio Cielo 2 - Il Gruppo Respingi Comete" is the second chapter of Gancio Cielo, a saga by Francesco Cavaliere. This episode explores a world where comets and cosmic stones pour down from the sky… Half-fish half-agate creatures collect debris while others, while floating on pneumatic tyres, glide onto wet surfaces like on bob skates, trying to catch the ones fallen into the water. Here we find groups of kids, spazzini cosmici, who with their mineral gloves refract rocks and comets back into …

The album includes Poème Electronique composed and recorded onto magnetic tape to be played from 400 loudspeakers, complimenting the parabolic and hyperbolic curves of Le Corbusier's pavillion at the Brussels World's Fair in 1958
Complete Works
itle of “Father of Electronic Music”. Varèse spent the early twenties as a starving composer in NYC, writing works like the percussionless “Octandre” and “Intégrales”, his first piece to use the term “spatial music”.

Comme Un Seul Narcisse
French artist Félicia Atkinson teams up with New York-based experimentalist Jefre Cantu-Ledesma for Comme Un Seul Narcisse, their first collaborative effort. Recorded between NYC and the Alps, Comme Un Seul Narcisse is an epistolary conversation of postmodern times between Cantu-Ledesma and Atkinson, who -- strangely enough -- met just once in person, in San Francisco in 2009. But the record is also a detour. Though it follows Cantu-Ledesma's haunting A Year With 13 Moons (Mexican Summer, 201…
The World Unseen
For Mamiffer’s Faith Coloccia and Aaron Turner, music is a divine language, a code to be deciphered, a map riddled with clues. Their latest album, The World Unseen, is a conceptual and liminal document of numinous connection through an experience with loss. It is an exploration of subconscious and psychic bonds between the past and present, and the ways in which the musical devices of repetition and incantation create hands across the chasm that divide the human from the divine.
Through the use …
quellgeister #2 'wurmloch'
The material at hand is the second release in a series of sonic sculptures, these “Quellgeister”, that Stefan Fraunberger has been developing within his extensive travels through Transylvania.

The region plays host to a number of small villages which lost the majority of their German population to migration after the fall of communism. In an area curre…
Owl Rave
Owl Rave's debut is dark, melancholic and driven by honest simplicity. Owl Rave use David Lynch's „Twin Peaks“ as their main reference. The album's sonic setting, especially the sound scapes, are heavily influenced by the duality between a seemingly perfect world and deep abysses. They are set in and around the sinister places of Twin Peaks: dreams, visions, brothels and run-down bars. Straight melodies, layered atmospheres and simple beats are enveloped by shapeless drones. Horror jazz and hero…
