The Plains at Gordium was composed from June to August 2004 and is dedicated to Charlotta Kotik. The incentive to compose the piece came from a percussion group in Brno, Czech Republic, who asked me for a piece of music. Not being a commission-disciplined composer, I wrote a piece for six percussionists, while the Czech group, DAMA-DAMA had only four members and could not perform it. The size of the piece also defies the scale of a standard percussion piece, 1,290 measures over a 108-page score.…

One of Alan Vega’s greatest talents was his ability to bring the past and the future together into a suspended place of timelessness. His groundbreaking duo Suicide was often seen as future primitivism and most of his musical output has exemplified this blending of the primordial human condition and visionary thinking. With Invasion b/w Murder One, the next release from the now infamous Vega Vault following 2021’s Mutator, we see this innate power in full effect. The two tracks “Invasion” and “M…

"Non ho sonno isn’t exactly a return to the glory days of Suspiria and Roller, but it’s very good, and is worthy of purchase before most of the 1980’s soundtracks. Though Goblin managed to hold on to the 1970’s sound even on most of their 1980’s work, this album sounds much more like the 1980’s than the 1970’s or 1990’s, especially the guitar. As far as opening themes go, “Non Ho Sonno” is good. That basically goes for the rest of the music too. It’s all very good, but not as unique and special …

*2022 stock* A reissue of Cherry Five, the first and only homonymous work of the band, made by Claudio Simonetti, Massimo Morante, Fabio Pignatelli, drummer Carlo Bordini and singer Tony Tartarini. The album was recorded in 1974 but published only in 1976, a year before the official birth of Goblin and the worldwide success of "Profondo Rosso". In the original vinyl Simonetti and Morante were included as authors of the songs but not as performers. The record in question is a rarity today, sought…

Chicago Research presents the latest release on tape by History of Leather.

*75 copies limited edition* "After several stand out collaborative releases, including a duo LP with Mark Shippy and another duo LP with Claire Rousay, violinist Alex Cunningham returns to solo form with As Slow as the Stream, an album made up of one 33-minute cat and mouse game titled "As Slow as the Stream Cuts the Dirt from Beneath." If you've ever watched a cat sneak up on a mouse, you've seen the cat making its way towards it's prey so slowly that you barely even notice the cat is moving at…

*In process of stocking* Like its predecessor, Philos, The Gleam is a completely solo work, all the music composed and played by Park Jiha on the piri, a type of oboe, the saenghwang, a mouth organ (shown on the album cover art), the hammered dulcimer known as the yanggeum, and glockenspiel. There’s a stark clarity to the sound, yet it’s never spare or empty. There’s a searching warmth to what she does. It’s minimal without being minimalist, occasionally presenting itself with the formality of t…

With each composition, Annesley Black embarks courageously on a new experiment with an open future; while at the beginning of the compositional process the material can still mean many things, it gradually ceases to do so. And at some point, all ambiguities are cleared up: the piece stands. The paths that have led to this point are ultimately paradoxical: they are “immensely labyrinthine and completely logical at the same time” (Black). In their own unique way, the pieces gathered on this CD pre…

A fifty-five-minute diptych. The opening piece transposes Yves Klein's Monotone Symphony (1949) onto solo electric guitar: a sustained drone on the pitch D, where variation arises only from durational shape and the changing morphology of resonance. The closing piece, live-improvised, marks Machinist's move beyond guitar-drone toward wider sonic terrain. Across both runs the same inquiry: spatial field recording against non-spatial computer tone, mediated by guitar amplifier as resonating body.

*2022 stock* A moody, detailed and wide-ranging work, in which atmosphere and dramaturgy lead the ear into a suspended world, like being entrapped within an Arctic ice shelf... Philippe Petit is interested in soundtracks; even if he creates original music he'd rather be introduced as a "musical travel agent" than a composer. Since the early 2000s he has been performing the world, playing festivals all over Europe, Canada, USA, Mexico, South America, Australia & Asia... Feeling lucky to release o…

Castles in Space is thrilled to present a timely new album from Keith Seatman - his first “extraordinary adventure” since 2020’s “Time To Dream But Never Seen”. “Sad Old Tatty Bunting” is another multi layered, deeply psychedelic construction which contains collaborations with Jim Jupp (Ghost Box, Belbury Poly) and Douglas E. Powell (Broken Folk).

** Limited Edition 300 Copies ** "La revolución y la tierra" is a Peruvian documentary film that became an unprecedented success in Peru, after its premiere in 2019, turning into the most-watched Peruvian documentary of all time. Directed by Gonzalo Benavente Secco and produced by Autocinema, the film offers a vision of one of the defining chapters in recent Peruvian history: the Agrarian Reform, a law enacted by the government of Juan Velasco Alvarado in 1969 (within the context of the so-calle…

*2022 stock* On his first Gagarin release, Gunter Adler, formerly known as the vicious violinist of Groenlandorchester, created a soil-resisting electronic razor-record in his search for Miss Amanda Lear's true gender. He didn't even need to pay bounties for the cover girls who he fetched from Paris Moulin Rouge. While unpacking the goods, Gunter was suddenly overwhelmed by two hungry hyenas that he would never get rid of again. Hypnotized by the new sound they asked him for a hot bath in order …

Richard Fearless follows his critically acclaimed psycho-geographical techno masterpiece ‘Deep Rave Memory’ with its companion album ‘Future Rave Memory’. Across titanium kosmische, industrial ambience, weightless acid and dark drone, this new record is an instrument of evocative wonder and heavy emotion. A dystopian ambient album and work of modernist meditation set firmly in an era when humanity is reckoning with its outsized place in the natural world, a process which may evoke humility, defi…

Stunning 40-page hardback book & CD entitled Gapassipi, a 1995 sound installation by Magnús Pálsson (b. 1929) edition of 200, each signed and numbered by Pálsson himself  Gapassipi.

With connections to non-Icelandic artists such as Dieter Roth, Philip Corner, a…

The Mahler (in/a) Cage field recording work involves the recording, in situ, from the Casetta di composizione (Composition house) in Dobbiaco/Toblach (Bozen), of the soundscape in which Gustav Mahler composed his last works from 1909 to 1911 and in particular The Song of the Earth (Das Lied von der Erde). The recording session took place over two summer days, from July to August 2020 from 5 am onwards, in the period of the year in which Mahler himself resided in Dobbiaco to compose at the beginn…

Psychedelic visions, blackouts, and blinding lights reveal an unusual, sick, and feverish musicality. (…) Hospital-like beeps transmit a subtle uneasiness, as electrodes applied to the brain draw bewildering tracings. And while Athanasia represents the idea of immortality in Greek mythology, here the gods come back from the dead only to ensure us an existence nurtured by the freezing rays of a black sun. - Massimiliano Busti, Blow Up

Terrine is back is the Tanzprocesz/Bruit Direct Disques two-headed team. New 12" vinyl for your greatest pleasure. Synthetic melancholy, homage to French party songs and improvisations without parachute. All packed in a colorful sleeve.

*In process of  stocking* The score for ‘Truth, exercise for a listener’ comprises a catalogue of options for a musical performer. In four parts each focusing on a different facet of our faculty to listen, it offers open ended material for the performer to deal with; sounding actions, silent actions, still actions, moving actions, interpretative actions. All can be selected, combined, omitted or extended at will. Multiple exercises can happen simultaneously. In a general sense the piece is an at…

*2022 stock* Brainticket have almost completely abandoned the rock orientation that they presented in songs such as 'Waching You', 'Places of Light', 'Black Sand', 'Like a Place in the Sun' and 'Coco Mary', with the single exception being the track 'Egyptian Kings'. Their sound on this album is less striking, less groovy and less immediate and more more spacey and trance-inducing, more electronic and more acoustically eclectic. Beginning with the song 'Egyptian Kings', the album seems to embark …

* 2022 stock. Edition of 150* It’s fair to say that despite his long history and reputation, Karina ESP hasen’t been the most productive act around. Gowers started working on this record a few years ago, but things did not fall into the right place. Until late 2011, returning from a short Benelux-tour. Gowers travelled to Scotland, where Fraser McGowan of Caught in the Wake Forever and Small Town Boredom managed to record the album in a matter of days. And that’s what Detachment sounds like: thi…

Evan Lindorff-Ellery is a visual and sound artist based in Kingston, New York, and co-owner of Notice Recordings. "No Water Recordings 2011" was created in Ravenswood, Chicago using a hydrophone against a bridge, above water, and a contact mike and ceramic insulator against a brick. The recordings were captured to cassette which was transferred 10 years later by Branic Howard. This album exists as an antithesis of much of Evan's recent fascinations with water, yet accommodates similar poetic end…

"Crazed time signatures abound as musicians from the West look East for inspiration, infusing their rock and jazz sounds with vibes looted from India and the Far East. A true marriage of Western and (Middle) Eastern music with a fuzzed-out psychedelic edge.Released originally in 1969, Middle Eastern Rock is a unique, compelling fusion record from Armenian-American oud player John Berberian. The Rock East Ensemble, Beberian’s backing band, consists of the artist’s standard group, which specialize…

**2022 stock. 100 copies limited edition** Söll is Jorge Pandeirada, musician and composer from Portugal. Interested in the concepts of randomness and what many regard as musical error. Pandeirada has a degree in Music Production and Electronic Music at ESART, and right now he's a master student in Sound Design at FEUP. This album is Söll's debut in electronic music, a field which he ingeniously explores. In doing so he produces a sound that is rich, detailed, fine-grained, hypnotizing and well,…

**2022 stock. 300 copies limited edition** 'Variations in a-moll for a granular synthesis' was created by Gintas K in 2016, during an art residency in MoKS (moks.ee), Estonia. The album uses a classical variation form in a-moll and is an extremely overpowering listening experience. Stunning and surprisingly melodic harmonies keep emerging from the granulated and continuously shifting computer generated sounds. Gintas K (Gintas Kraptavičius) is a Lithuanian sound artist and composer living and wo…

**2022 stock. 100 copies limited edition** On this album Daniel Vujanic tried to create a musical system with moods, dynamics and melodic ramifications through non-musical approaches, components and source material. Or simply put: to alter and to transform identifiable synthesizer, piano, guitar, cello or field recording sounds/motifs into something less musical, more obscured and clandestine. He was looking for a way to build coagulated atmospheres, dissolving states of mind, realms of the hypn…

With the album 'Regering' (dutch for ‘Government’) the duo Martijn Comes and Lukas Simonis release their first record together.

**50 copies limited edition** "Here we have a split cassette by two Dutch sound artists. Both artists can be seen as an inventor, tinkering with machines. First, we have Van Diepenmaat with 'Struin', a work for modular synthesizer and two CV controlled turntables, that Diepenmaat made in conjunction with the field kit, a creation from Koma Elektronik. Van Veldhoven has 74 reel-to-reel recorders at home (at least when I visited him some time ago), and creates constructions with these machines, wi…
