Sounds of the Studio
Sounds of the Studio, Anthony Gormley first audio work, has been trailed as a "teleportational sound portrait of Gormley's cathedral-like studio". In other words, it's an evocative snapshot of his working environment, mixing high-grade field recordings (Chris Watson would be proud) with elements of music concrete. Hammers, grinders, fans, welders, and all sorts of other beasts reverberate in the vast caverns of an extraordinary acoustic space. A true AAA valve mastered mono recording, direct to …

Prelude To Heart Is A Lotus
2013 release. Previously unavailable, this unearthed 1968 BBC Session contains markedly different versions from Michael Garrick's 1970 classic 'Heart Is A Lotus' album.

Michael Garrick’s 1970 LP Heart Is A Lotus went on to become one of the most important British jazz albums of the subsequent decade. For a few years prior to the record’s release Garrick and his sextet…

With no epenthesis. In a continuous stream of small precarious and chiseled magmas, sou…

Suddenly One Summer
Summer. It's as much a state of mind as it is a season. This is particularly true for those who are still attending school. Whether you're a first-grader or a college senior, the magical lure of summer vacation, fraught with possibilities, is a powerful force. Like New Year's resolutions, many ambitious summer plans quickly fragment and are left unfulfilled. In these cases, the answer to "I know what you did last summer" is "not much."However, some student summers prove more productive. In that …
'Split'
Highly synergistic split from Eleh and Caterina Barbieri featuring two sides of similar audio dimensions. These two electronic sound poems slowly unfurl rich timbre and harmonics with an austere stillness that is, somehow, ever-changing. It hardly matters whose side is whose.
Universal Silence
**Edition of 300, gatefold cover, newly remastered from the original tapes for optimal sound** What can be said about Don Cherry that hasn’t been said? He was musical bridge between countless cultures - a titan of the avant-garde and jazz - one of the great, visionary voices of 20th century music for whom there was, and remains, no equivalent. A giant. Like Miles, Ayler, Mingus, Bird, Dizzy, Trane, Ornette, and Pharaoh, the power of his voice carved such a deep path that, more than half a centur…

Château
**300 copies** O you singer, solitary, singing by yourself—projecting me;
O solitary me, listening—nevermore shall I cease perpetuating you;
Never more shall I escape, never more the reverberations,
Never more the cries of unsatisfied love be absent from me,
Never again leave me to be the peaceful child I was before what there, in the night,
By the sea, under the yellow and sagging moon,
The messenger there arous’d—the fire, the sweet hell within,
The unknown want, the destiny of me. O give me t…
Keep It In the Ground
**300 copies on bone coloured vinyl** Six self-recorded improvised drone rock waves from Eric Quach (Thisquietarmy) and Aidan Girt (Godspeed You! Black Emperor).

All four ears stay cocked and listening even if neither of them are very good at keeping eye contact. One life to live, pound …
