Inaudible Works 1994-2008
What have we here? 16 pieces of hard-to-classify music, created during the period 1994-2008, a cornucopia of playful, intelligent, questing and eminently listenable electronic music from Osaka-born artist Hyu, who released two albums on Nobukazu Takemura's Childisc label, in 1999 and 2002. Although a member of the turn-of-the-century generation of artists subsumed under the rather vague term "electronica", his work stands apart in many ways, particularly in his unique exploration of microtonalit…

Music for "Cyber Café"
In 1991, Yuji Takahashi and Mamoru Fujieda collaborated in staging a sound installation at the Sezon Museum of Art in Tokyo, making extensive use of the new artistic possibilities provided by the advent of personal computers.

Tone Float
Reissue of Organisation's Tone Float, originally released in 1970.

In fact, it was the first iteration of Kraftwerk and if the band had managed to overrule its record label, RCA, Tone Float would have been credited as such. But given that the album was to be released only in the United Kingdom, the label opted for the more Anglicized name, "Organisation". Tone …

Persona: A Complete Retrospective
Roman Torment were the combined efforts of Evan Pacewicz (Moth Drakula/Swampland) & Jeff Witscher (Impregnable/Callow God) at the height of the short lived but very important LA harsh noise scene of the early 00's.

A Tender Exile
"A Tender Exile" is the result of a deeply personal journey—one shaped by displacement, nostalgia, and the search for belonging. Inspired by "How To Live Together", a book compiling Roland Barthes’ notes for his lecture of the same name, Federico Gargaglione explores four key concepts: Akedia, Xeniteia, Anachoresis, and Thlipsis. These ideas became a framework for understanding his own experiences, ultimately shaping the foundation of this book.
As part of this journey, he traveled to Mount Etna…
