Jerk // Through their tears
Jerk is a collaborative artist's book and audio recording by director Gisele Vienne, author Dennis Cooper, musician Peter Rehberg and performer Jonathan Capdevielle, which translates a previous collaborative theater work into a violent multimedia disquisition on puppetry, serial killing and homoeroticism. The play and book are based on the Texan serial killer Dean Corll. As in their theater works, Jerk. Through their tears is a multi-faceted exploration of these artists' combined interest…
Reflex
Reflex is the fifth solo album by Switzerland's Reto Mder (Ural Umbo, Sum of R, Pendulum Nisum) as RM74. A creepy, paranoid record of sinister melody and complex structure. Electronics, organ, synthesizer, guitars and other instrumentation drifts in and out of bizarre atmospherics. The tracks gain emotional resonance as they move among vexing swells of dense, rotting psychedelia. Presented in a heavy matte sleeve printed with dark metallic ink. Includes fold out insert. Photograph by Phill…
2008 / 2011
Exclusive collection of the Hype Williams videos work, probably the most genuine reflections of pop culture mixed with the hyper-contemporary obsession of domestic self representation. Here you can find a massive exploitation of the Long Takes and a deliberate use of digital folklore. VHS edition
Pappelallee 5
Andrea NEUMANN: inside piano, mixing desk. Recorded live in Berlin 2008. Ltd. & numbered edition hand made cover on cardboard cover. 'Pappelallee 5 arose by accident during work on a record that required absolute silence in my flat. It was a complicated undertaking, considering that my apartment is located in a house which is mostly occupied with musicians. As a result, I was inspired to place those adversities, from the outset, into the focus of the work and to integrate the sounds of the build…

Unpleasant Size 01
About 15 years too late! Finally out. This is the first 7" in a yearlong monthly series of limited 7"es that will really be all over the place. anything goes: from the acid of Pierre Elitair to the mincecore of Agathocles or a prank by Frieder Butzmann! This first one could actually be an lp! As usual with noisecore, grind or mince, this one has more tracks on it than 5 lp's together! 10 songs by each band, Agathocles drills holes in your skull and pours in a cocktail of assgrinding diarrhea rec…
Musiktheater Und Experimentelle Musik
This is an original copy of a 1984 privately released avant experimental music Boxset of 3 LP’s (plus a 4 pages informative insert) by the obscure Phren ensemble. The music is very atmospheric and higly experimental/ free improvised not far from AMM, MEV or Gruppo di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza but more in a 'german' way if i might say so (and if it says something!).
Phonometak Series # 10
This final chapter of the vinyl series puts to close friend/collaborators on two different sides of a split, infact Iriondo and Cantu have been joining their instruments to pay duty in A Short Apnea, Six Minutes War Madness, Uncode Duello, Tasaday and many other projects. Cantu uses guitar, drums, organ, tapes, vocals, electronics and many other things to recreate something that is really close to A Short Apnea. This side is imbued of that Seventies freaky music aura, the second track for…
Resonance
When composing for a group, Ken Vandermark as a rule takes into account factors such as each musician's approach to improvisation, personal tastes and individual sound. So when he chose to compose for a tentet that included musicians who were virtually an unknown quantity to him – musicians such as Polish saxophonist/clarinetist, Mikolaj Trzaska and the Ukrainian duo, Yuriy Yaremczuk on reeds and Mark Tokar on bass – it could have been seen as a foray into relatively unknown territory. And it wa…

Blind Jesus
Blind Jesus by Andrew L. Hooker and Stefano Pilia debuts with a record that, according to this writer, is one of the best works of avant-rock heard recently: unravelled stuttering in the vein of Storm & Stress fall from crumbling gorges of tape loops, caracoling flights in the foreground interrupted with improvised retro-folk, wanton porno-concrète jokes arm-in-arm with strained ecstatic drones, followed by melancholic acoustic crackling, industrial creaking, soulful moans, obstacular Supreme Di…
Inner Voices/Nerve Language
"Karl Bauer and Eva Saelens (Axolotl and Inca Ore respectively) are two like-minded Bay area psychers operating on two opposing levels. Axolotl marks the A-side with skyward streaking drones and ethereal loops tinged and focused, ringing with the joyous bliss of upward passage. An endless array of vocals, electronics, and violin looping and looping, building and growing: stasis. Inca Ore makes her craft from an Earth-bound level. Oneness with her surroundings, roots firmly planted. Eerie incanta…
Makrokosmikro
"For whatever reason I am not entirely sure of Maurizio Bianchi hooked up with Siegmar Fricke a lot since he returned to recording new music again. Fricke always seems to have something to do with the music of Bianchi, whether or not it is a collaboration, mastering, mixing or post production. Here on 'Makrokosmikro' its a collaboration with Bianchi getting credit for 'macrowaves, cosmotronics, microloops' and Fricke for 'mactronics, cosmodulations, microblending', which I am sure they have had …
