The Plains At Gordium
The Plains at Gordium was composed from June to August 2004 and is dedicated to Charlotta Kotik. The incentive to compose the piece came from a percussion group in Brno, Czech Republic, who asked me for a piece of music. Not being a commission-disciplined composer, I wrote a piece for six percussionists, while the Czech group, DAMA-DAMA had only four members and could not perform it. The size of the piece also defies the scale of a standard percussion piece, 1,290 measures over a 108-page score.…
Vague
The duo appearing on "VAGUE" is Scillia Lorage and Kiko.C.Esseiva. The encounter between them gave birth to this project in springtime 2008 in which their intentions lie in experimental free improvisation. On this recording, Kiko C. Esseiva played live tape manipulations and Scillia Lorage weaves, with her voice, sounds that are manipulated live on her sampler. With spontaneity, they attempt to build soundscapes and sounds character; sometimes by walking on eggs, some other times trying to save …

Vinyl reissue of Pat Thomas’ New Jazz Jungle: Remembering. The album was originally released on CD in 1997, at a time when Pat had already spent years playing on the free improvisation circuit with the likes of Lol Coxhill and Derek Bailey. 10 tracks of bass heavy jungle breaks, which are intersected with vocal and orchestral samples, and layers of percussion rotating at varying time signatures. It’s in this fashion that the album seems to present itself: in layers. Thomas identified jungle’s w…

Debauched: Witchery and Devilry Vol. 1 (1st Spell) (Book)
During the height of the turned-on 1960s and '70s Occult explosion, even the under-the-counter men's magazines got in on the act and began a surreal exploration of the haunting netherworld of Witchcraft and Satanism.

Exploring The Cave
Arcane and evocative, elegiac and eerie at the same time: when we first listened to this album we all agreed that it was an authentic spell, the work of a high-level wizard. We later discovered that "Exploring the Cave" is the only record testimony of a Californian singing teacher named Joy Willow, released in 1992. We wrote to Joy some time ago and she was kind and helpful enough to answer us (with the availability that we didn't expect from a high-level wizard!).Joy's passion - today, as in th…

My main project has been Logic Gate, for music in the “Berlin School” style, but I've also released instrumental electronic music of various styles under my own name, plus one alb…

In 1955, the Soviet Union completed the first spacecraft launch site in history: the Baikonur Cosmodrome. Still active today, the cosmodrome is located in Kazakhstan, about thirty kilometers from the city with the same name (until 1995 called Leninsk). The cosmodrome was the scene of grandiose events in Soviet history, such as the launch of the first sputnik (1957), but also of dramatic events such as the Nedelin catastrophe (1960), in which 78 people died due to an explosion.Baikonur was the co…
