KI-Motion
At the dawn of the 1980’s, a few years before her now legendary LP, Through The Looking Glass, took form, a young percussionist playing with the Berlin Philharmonic, Midori Takada, found her creative ambitions looking further afield.

The project quickly recorded two astounding LPs in 1981 – …

Third album from the French space-rock electro combo masterminded by Richard Pinhas. Heldon's darkest work lays another stone in their sonic mosaic: synths, drones, fuzz, and trippy improvisations.

Agneta Nilsson (Heldon IV)

Casilina Tapes 2010-2017
Edition of 300.

In 2012 th…
