Impressions de Meccano
**numbered edition of 40 copies** This Album is a Unicum in the Œuvre of Pierre Bastien... He has always played together with the Meccano Orchestra, in these Pieces however, the Music contains the mechanical Sounds by the Meccano Orchestra only, with the Artist only observing the Orchestra as the sole Spectator in a vast and empty Circus Arena… A wonderful Collection of automated music, pure Poetry of a tiny mechanical Orchestra, fragile and touching in it’s primitive Mechanics... An absolute Hi…

Muzikë Muusika
**numbered edition of 40 copies** "Little by little, the mass turned like a slimy and forceful nausea, a kind of immense influx of vegetable and thundering blood. And the small fibers trembling at the edge of my mental eye, broke off with a vertiginous speed of the tense mass of the wind. And all the space trembled like a sex organ which the globe of the burning sky was battering." Wendingen 1918 is dedicated to the Dutch Architectural Magazine ‘Wendingen’ from 1918 and the Work and Life of Anto…
Library Music
**numbered edition of 25 copies** The Bohman Brothers are the creators of a unique and impure experimental music. Traces of Fluxus japery, musique concrete, sound poetry and free improvisation can be detected, yet ultimately the whole is greater and more arcane than the sum of its parts. As a performing duo Adam and Jonathan Bohman have been operative since 1996 (Adam Bohman is also a member of Morphogenesis and The London Improvisors Orchestra). Their sound art oscillates between states of the …
Kunst In Gebreke

Pana Pakshinaaam
**numbered edition of 25 copies** "I was in a Bus full with People... The Ceiling of the Bus was from an old victorian House... richely ornamented Stucco which was about to fall down upon us... Outside the Bus there was a Fairground Caroussel and Lots of playful Animals were running around... We were driving... I looked outside and marvelled at the fantastic old Jugendstil Architecture of Madrid... I was discussing this with the Woman next to me... Later we would walk Outside. I was hungry. We w…
Down / Up
**numbered edition of 25 copies** The Tenses (Side Project of Smegma) are Ju Suk Reet Meate and Jackie Oblivia Stewart. The Tenses is a Title of a Story in the Book The Dream World of Dion McGregor from 1964. It is a unique Book in that the Stories are not “Written”, but Transcribed from Stories told while asleep! In 2008 we began a new Live Act using Musical Concepts developed with Smegma. The Tenses are a more intimate ”Live” Experiment that is greatly influenced by the Room / Audience “Feel”.…
Prima Materia
**numbered edition of 25 copies** "These Pieces are the Result of a long Process which lasted ten Years or more. I’ve been in Touch with Jon off and on, exchanging Music for each to work on. Working on Tracks and leaving them to rest. On the Surface, nothing much happened. The Music was somewhere filed up, almost forgotten. We didn’t make music together for Years to come. Then early 2018 there was a sudden Breakthrough. The Pieces now published on this LP are the Result from this... I strongly s…
Xerox
**numbered edition of 25 copies** "Modelbau is not Frans de Waard’s latest in a series of names used to create music, but it is indeed the latest one for a solo vehicle. Each of the names, and that includes my own name, stands for something particular, an idea, and something not found in the other monikers I am using. Modelbau is, like Freiband, not a proper German word (it should be Modellbau, but I thought that looked ugly) and as such is probably already a lo-fi name, and as such also very pe…

Wahdon
Wewantsounds continues to pursue its exploration of great Lebanese music with the reissue of Wahdon, released in 1978 by legendary Middle Eastern diva Fairuz. The album includes the Lebanese dancefloor cult classic, Al Bostah. 1978 was a turning point for the Lebanese singer: the '70s had seen her rise as an international star, playing sold out concerts in the US and in Europe, and appearing on national TV in France. She had had a long-lasting artistic collaboration with her husband Assi Rahbani…
Humlebier
"This cassette contains different versions of a kind of static music consisting of humming sound formations. Various parts are combined in constantly different ways and activated or paused at a slowly changing pace. The three versions have different tempos with different characters ensuing. Simple looped motifs repeating themselves form the basis. Some of these are capable of modifying the pitch of each other. I have acted as a musician playing the computer sequencer by changing tempo, allowing …
In the Woods
On Rimarimba’s 1985 album In The Woods, Robert Cox has made his music kit, an odd assortment of new and old technologies, lately fixated on the digital delay, and programming technologies, sing his own song at its most articulate clip. The songs seem more developed, fluent, like mini-suites in some sense. By his third album, it’s clear Cox has recognised just how liberating technology can be – “All these intricate layers of things that I was trying to play, and didn’t have the musical ability to…
On Dry Land
For Rimarimba’s 1984 album On Dry Land, Robert Cox advances along the terrain explored on Below The Horizon. It’s an enchanting album, one which, at times, seems to comment on its own practice; a picture of everyday life in the hobbyist’s, or part-time musician’s, recording studio. Some moments point towards the tourist-explorer aesthetic that would eventually coalesce under the banner of Fourth World music. Other moments where Cox seems to be channelling an otherness, a kind of hauntological re…
