Ephemera Box (Letters, postcards Boxset)
Reading Robert Briatte's biography of Paul Bowles, I discovered that his poems, unlike his novels and stories, had not been translated into German. I set to work, got his adress from Pociao, sent Paul Bowles my draft translations, and was invited by him in Tangier, Morocco, in the fall of 1993. In the years that followed, I visited him two or three times a year, not only working on the translation of his poems in exchange with him, but also doing a long interview with him about Gertrude Stein an…
Emergency!

The music generated is dire…
Wildflower
*2023 repress* "The trio takes you on an intense, meditative and spiritual musical journey that embodies the spirit of freedom. Based around hypnotic grooves laid down by Brichard’s unswervingly solid bass lines, drummer Skinner plays around artfully with the beats, grooving hard in constantly shifting, unexpected turns of rhythmic play. Rahman’s contributions range from subtle conversational interplay to loudly expressed angry passion to the most delicate of whispers, conveying a depth of emoti…
Vipera Nido Di
Tip! "Vipera Nido Di" is the third solo release by Cristiano Carosi recorded during 2021/2022. For this album he uses synthesizers, prepared tapes, tape loops and analog effects manipulating the sound events into tiles of a combinatory game generating temporary space and language. The album follows a sound collage method where the acoustic objects are coceived and developed like a plastic medium mixing abstract, geometry and surreal portrait.

Áhkká
Pauline Hogstrand's music – and Áhkká, in particular – is deeply inspired by both inner and outer influences, by the mystical as well as the rock-solid, by fictitious conversations and the queen mountain of Lappland (Áhkká).
Down But Defiant Yet/Acceptance Is Not Respect
Fourth Dimension collects a couple of immense, previously CD-only albums into one neat package from Ramleh/Broken Flag's Gary Mundy, operating under his Kleistwahr handle. 'Down But Defiant Yet' and 'Acceptance is Not Respect' were originally released in 2017 and 2018 and were created with a more spiritual intent than previous works. Essentially, we get blasts of cinematic, ominous black psychedelic sound that channels elements of krautrock into harsh, brutal yet cleansing elegiac noise.

Descent
Descent is a selection of works spanning over 20 years. While it reflects Prior's background in the acousmatic tradition that emerged in the UK from musique concrète, Descent departs from several of the core Schaefferian precepts that underpinned the musique concrète to which it owes so much. The idea of sound as a quasi-sculptural material is a central tenet of musique concrete, with the goal of plasticity brought ever closer through generations of sound processing technologies. As with the chi…
