"When I came to New York City in 1975, after my second period in Paris, I felt as if I was starting again. I didn’t have a band at that time. The Black Artists Group had broken up, or separated—well, it wasn’t much of a “break-up,” but we had come to our musical end, even though one of the last groups I had before returning to New York was with BAG member Baikida Carroll playing trumpet, Peter Warren on bass, and Oliver Johnson on drums. I was basically by myself. I felt eager and anxious to see…
In the early 90s there were a few like minded friends making a unique style of lo-fi pop music. At the core of this non-scene were Sukpatch, Land of the Loops and The Ah Club, who all tended to play on each other's recordings. As the decade went on each of them learned how to use their instruments better, smoothing over the edges, but in typical fashion, the early home recordings had a special feeling that couldn’t be replicated with cleaner fidelity and nicer equipment. Sukpatch especially were…

Infinite Expanse continues its excavation of forgotten Czech sound archives with ‘Selected Ambient 1988–1989’ by Dia Archa – a project that briefly surfaced in the late 1980s and early 1990s before dissolving into obscurity. Formed by Michal Kořán and Filip Homola, Dia Archa emerged from the same circle as Richter Band, Jaroslav Kořán, and Modrá, tracing an overlooked lineage of post-industrial minimalism and domestic ambient experiment.
Working at the tail end of the socialist era with almost n…
Degraded, faded cities now empty of people. You can hear household appliances in the kitchens still talking, but only to each other. The phrases are distorted, unclear; broken English , Japanese and a few Korean and Chinese automated voices, syllables, shopping lists, play lists for dinner and recipes. Somewhere one of the machines is dialled in on an isolated pre Buddhist monk chant, distant like from a high cliff meditation cell. The flow of the wide, long Black Mother River Kali Gandaki below…

The archive is not neutral. In 2019, Andrea Centazzo discovered unlabeled tape reels in his mother's attic in Udine - boxes assumed lost seven years earlier. What emerged from these deteriorating reels, transferred by engineer Sergio Tomasini during COVID lockdowns, was unexpected: unreleased recordings from the original Elektriktus sessions of 1973-76, alongside other archival materials including previously unknown collaborations with Steve Lacy and Evan Parker from the same period.
Centazzo's …
In the summer of 1976, a peculiar album appeared in Italian record shops bearing no artist name - only the cryptic moniker Elektriktus. The music posed a question that wouldn't be answered for decades: who had created this hybrid of jazz sensibility and kosmische synthesis? The answer was hiding in plain sight. Andrea Centazzo - recognized figure in European free improvisation who had shared stages with Steve Lacy, Evan Parker, and Derek Bailey - had been leading a double life between touring wi…

*2025 stock. 150 copies limited edition* In 1972, four design students at the now defunct Hornsey College of Art (HCA) in London decided to make a record; neither the result of nascent dreams of stardom nor of fastidiously developed musi-cianship. Bowes Road Band’s sole LP was simply the result of an impulse to create. With only fifty copies originally pressed, the LP’s Berlin flea market discovery revealed a foray into a delicately balanced world of psycho-trip meltdowns, rich jazz improvisatio…
