The recording to listen online is a 5-hour composition for computer voice, first presented in Paris on March 25, 2000: a deepening of the idea of a dematerialized disc, following Kiss Music.Frédéric Acquaviva, born in 1967, has been since 1990 a sound artist and experimental music composer, creating chronopolyphonic installations and CDs and playing in art galleries, in museums or in underground venues.Staying away from tr…
R,R,R
Recorded at Ftarri, Tokyo, 28. Limited edition, 200 copies. Lovingly recorded on acoustic guitar, his improvisations have the spiky quality associated with the elder statesman of the freely improvised guitar, as well as some John Fahey touches here and there, but Masubuchi's lines sound as though coated in oil, possessing a slipperiness and liquidity that peeks back at Japanese traditions
See Heat
Mornings at the Case family breakfast table in summer-to-fall 2013 passed to the score of Justin Walter’s Lullabies & Nightmares, a solo record debuted for Chicago’s stalwart Kranky label that spring. A willfully reflective amendment to the AM ritual, Brian Case found a stirring soulful resonance in Walter’s cooing geographies. After decades under the alt rock context with 90 Day Men, The Ponys and Disappears, in recent years, Case’s interests have turned to more textural and alinear musical end…
Convicted Felon Adjusted For Inflation
If you know Glands of External Secretion, you now also know that they have a new release out in Coherent States to which you may be interested in listening. If you are unfamiliar with them, there are quite a few things to be said, beginning when Seymour Glass, inspired by J.D. Salinger's short story A Perfect Day for Bananafish, starts publishing the legendary Bananafish Zine in 1987, which for eighteen issues and up until 2004, constitutes a huge and ambitious attempt of presenting underground …
Fustian Cutting
Phil Julian lives in London, and has been active in the experimental music underground since the late 90's under the alias Cheapmachines and lately under his own name. He is dedicated to analogue electronics as well as computer noise. Contact microphones, feedback and modular synthesizers are basic tools to what, after much work, could lead to the perfection of 2014's Trace LP or the excellent Quiet Trade tape. A wide spectrum from harsh noise to academic minimalism. An "anything can turn into a…
The Clothes Themselves
PVC dubplate, edition of 50 copies. The brainchild of elusive graphic designer Sk8thing, who founded it in 2012 together with streetwear visionaries Toby Feltwell and Hishi Yutaka, Japanese brand Cav Empt has garnered a cult-like following with its strong emphasis on iconic and eclectic references. For Men’s Fashion Week, Slam Jam is delighted to present the brand’s newest project —The Clothes Themselves, a documentary short film written and directed by British artist Oliver Payne.Inspired by th…

Nonagon Knivese
Digital noise by the the sweatest, high volume, voices of Japanese girls in the distance, Otaku's stories, obsessions manifested, a rabbit, the subway.
Poetic Infomercial Experimentalism
Poetic Infomercial Experimentalism is a musical piece, consisting of two parts, that arose after Tapage (Tijs Ham) and Espoir (Roald van Dillewijn) found that no one else had ever tried to write it before. Since they both had a strong feeling that the world would be better if this music is available for everyone, they agreed to come together in monthly sessions to start their creative work. In each session, they tried a different approach to making music which resulted in a lot of improvisation …
Ample Profanity
Edition of 300. Brilliant, mad intersection of No wave primitivism, cello sensitivities and possessed vox, the first proper collab between important lynchpins of the UK avant-classical nexus; Oliver Coates and Laurie Tompkins. If you're into anything from Mica Levi to Jandek, this ones for you... Very few fukcs are given by Coates & Tompkins on Ample Profanity; a let-it-all-out session of deviant, punkish avant-classical composition hallucinated and expectorated by two prodigious talents, releas…
Ignis
Edition of 500 copies. A stunning set of previously unheard posthumous recordings from Mika Vainio aided and abetted by Franck Vigroux. Haunting, cinematic, extreme electronic panoramas of the highest order… Mika Vainio and Franck Vigroux’s brutal yet filigree electronics come to light in ‘Ignis’, which finally discloses the further, etheric results of recording sessions that made up their ‘Peau Froide, Léger Soleil’ album in 2014, their celebrated previous collaboration for Cosmo Rhythmatic.Pos…
Ideal Acid
No hype, this record is the maddest belter you’ll hear this year. A rinse thru three hundred and three acid cherries pitted and sequenced, tweak for tweak, into the only rave weapon you’ll ever need. Taking Evol's obsession with Roland’s squelchy grey box to an ultimate, logical conclusion that leaves dancefloors turned utterly inside out and begging for track ID’s, it’s the kind of idea that has been floated in raves, smoking areas and afterparties for the past 20 years but has never been execu…
Dreaming Remembering
Ectoplasm Girl Nadine Byrne returns with her first solo album in 4 years, a woozy, unnerving and dreamlike soundworld somewhere betweenLaurie Anderson, James Ferraro and Ryan Trecartin. Huge recommendation... Ectoplasm Girls’ Nadine Byrne lures listeners into woozy mental states on Dreaming Remembering, her soundtrack to a short film of the same name, providing a solo follow-up to A Different Gesture: Collected Soundtracks 2011-2012, and her first outing since Ectoplasm Girls’ New Feeling Come […
Weightless
Hugely tipped debut LP from Jasss; a measured, rugged blend of industrial dub, African and dark jazz inspirations that comes highly recommended if you’re into more abstracted and experimental electronic/dancefloor excursions or the work of Christoph De Babalon, Toresch, Mecanica Popular, Throbbing Gristle etc. Very much an antecedent of Spanish industrialists such as Diseño Corbusier, Xeerox / Krishna Goineau, or Mecanica Popular/Randomize, Jasss firmly builds on that heritage with a uniquely pe…
Can I Change My Mind?
Exceptional, 15 minute long dancer from Beatrice Dillon, blessing the 12 x 12 series with a concatenated ‘nuum sidewinder Can I Change My Mind?, where the London-based artist nimbly finds the square roots of jungle, techno, noise and minimalist dance music firmly anchored in steppers’ dub and West African percussive tradition. If you’ve ever been snagged by Sotofett, DJ Krust or Shackleton’s devilish dubs, this one’s for you!Since first emerging with a highly regarded monthly NTS radio show, a r…
Four Pieces For Mirai
The first instalment of a stunning self-released opus by a pivotal thinker of our age; James Ferraro, the start of a four-part dystopian saga about digital feudalism and the Internet of Things. Riyl Elysia Crampton, Haruomi Hosono, Wendy Carlos, Oneohtrix Point Never… Four Pieces for Mirai is a stunning prelude to James Ferraro’s epic new work about civilisational decline, planned to span four releases this year. The initial transmission finds the preeminent bard and prescient se’er of the 21st …

Beach Jolanda
So Sweet! Edition of 400, with a full-colour sleeve and insert. It’s taken 14 years for these extravagant Icelandic artist troubadours to follow up their last (untitled) album. (At least they managed to give this one a name ; imagine what else they’d be capable of if we’ d waited another five years. ) Beach Jolanda transposes their classic calipso - beach - bar - laptop - organ g ibberish to the unmanned terrain of public lavatories in the dead of night. But i t wouldn’t be a party without guest…

La Macchina della violenza (The Big Game)
First 200 on Red Opaque Vinyl. 180 gram audiophile vinyl LP, with poster. Another master of the soundtrack is Francesco De Masi, that, through a long carrier, has moved between different genres, giving the soundtrack to spaghetti western movies (like Vado l’ammazzo e torno) comedies, and action movies like La Macchina della violenza, by Robert Day. A soundtrack that goes from tense and nervous songs, to soft ballads with female voice.
