Ground: Five Mechanic Convention Streams
The final album released by the composer-performer Jerry Hunt before his death, Ground: Five Mechanic Convention Streams is a rare and foundational audio document of Hunt’s compositional process. The record collects five pieces from the artist’s “Ground” series, translating his characteristically variable and spatial scores into “recorded fixtures of activity using mechanic musical instrument arrays,” to eerie and mesmerizing results. Originally released by experimental label OODiscs in 1992, it…
Prayer For Nil
"In Anthony Pateras’ Prayer for Nil the electronics are a swell of voices so dense they seem inhuman, amassed like a threatening cloud. As the piece unfolds the masses thin to a taper. By its conclusion the solitary singer is left brutally alone, though it’s hard to tell if she wasn’t alone the whole time – every voice in the throng was her own - my own. The ‘live vocal’ part is a highly structured improvisation. Anthony gave me a set of rules, pitches, and rhythms. Within the electronic field, …
Detachment
* 2022 stock. Edition of 150* It’s fair to say that despite his long history and reputation, Karina ESP hasen’t been the most productive act around. Gowers started working on this record a few years ago, but things did not fall into the right place. Until late 2011, returning from a short Benelux-tour. Gowers travelled to Scotland, where Fraser McGowan of Caught in the Wake Forever and Small Town Boredom managed to record the album in a matter of days. And that’s what Detachment sounds like: thi…
Cavv
**2022 stock. 100 copies limited edition** Söll is Jorge Pandeirada, musician and composer from Portugal. Interested in the concepts of randomness and what many regard as musical error. Pandeirada has a degree in Music Production and Electronic Music at ESART, and right now he's a master student in Sound Design at FEUP. This album is Söll's debut in electronic music, a field which he ingeniously explores. In doing so he produces a sound that is rich, detailed, fine-grained, hypnotizing and well,…
Variations in A-moll for a Granular Synthesis
**2022 stock. 300 copies limited edition** 'Variations in a-moll for a granular synthesis' was created by Gintas K in 2016, during an art residency in MoKS (moks.ee), Estonia. The album uses a classical variation form in a-moll and is an extremely overpowering listening experience. Stunning and surprisingly melodic harmonies keep emerging from the granulated and continuously shifting computer generated sounds. Gintas K (Gintas Kraptavičius) is a Lithuanian sound artist and composer living and wo…
Tracers
** 2021 stock ** In the early years of 21st century, vidnaObmana teamed up with US experimentalist David Lee Myers, of Arcane Device fame, for a collaborative album that showcases their shared fascination for processing and recycling sound. “Tracers” is the audio evidence of this meeting. A few years later this material was mastered by Dirk Serries and got the new design based on Martina Verhoeven’s artwork.
Magnetic Debris vol.1 & 2
“Magnetic Debris” is a collection of audio works mainly based on the editing of old archived tape loops and "found" magnetic sounds. This material as main reference was subjected to multi-channel treatments, re assembled and mixed along with audio generators, and various electronic devices. These processed debris explores drone territories as a concrete atmospheric soundtrack full of tension with a sense of mystery and a melancholic beauty.Recorded and assembled in 2018, this double album has be…
Meiosis
*2022 stock* Ferial Confine is an early Andrew Chalk experimental, somewhat noise-based project. Meiosis was originally released as a cassette on Broken Flag in 1985. You can certainly hear the influence of The New Blockaders and, to some extent, Whitehouse (no shouting, though), but Meiosis is a fine example of what was 'in the air' for a small amount of people scattered around the world at the time. I think the thing that keeps a lot of this music so relevant is the purity and uncompromising n…

Barricades
The story is that Vigroux spent most of the time on his tour constructing what would subsequently evolve into Barricades. Working indefatigably on new tracks in the morning and performing them live in the evening - that is basically how this excellent work was assembled. Recording everything in stereo, using only two tracks, Vigroux aimed to incorporate “the rawness of a ‘live’ recording”. Consequently, the sound here became unmistakably pure and expressive, somewhat reminiscent of artists such …
Minus Modum
"Once again Gerard uses his guitar, low-key electronics, his own voice, and inanimate objects in the creation of a five-part work, this time using Greek letters to identify the separate parts of the structure. He also uses a lot of silence, as usual, and one has to strain quite hard to make out any perceptible markings on this blank stretch of time. Actually what may appear to be pure silence actually contains a very subtle and washed-out drone of some sort, produced by means we know not – it’s …
In Vivo
** Limited edition of 300 copies. Silkscreen printing on 350 gm paper, black inner ** In Vivo is a cross-media collaboration between clarinetist and composer Gareth Davis and Slovenian-born photographer Klavdij Sluban, released on IIKKI. It sets Sluban’s images from throughout his career, primarily of jailed teenagers in prisons around the world, to Davis’s contemporary classical music informed by post-rock and noise music.
To Live A La West I
Every new St. Abdullah record is an attempt to present new ideas and To Live A La West is no exception. Spread out over a CD on Imprec and a cassette on sister label Cassauna, To Live A La West is simply moving, a collection of profound and spiritual tracks miraculously existing at the impossible intersection of free jazz and electro where mystery and clarity exist together. Neither complicated or complex but profound, St. Abdullah’s new work is partially inspired by their love for Jon Hassell’s…
Accident In Heaven
Accident In Heaven was originally released in 1987 as a hand-made micro-edition of about 40 cassette tapes. It was only the third ever release on the short-lived now near legendary SDV label which had been established that same year by Konrad Kraft, Bernd Sevens and Dino Oon in Düsseldorf.Finally finding a more substantial and appreciative audience on vinyl over 30 years after its original limited release, Accident In Heaven is a strong testament to the explorative experiments of Detlef Funder a…
«…»
In a truly monumental rising, Art Into Life delivers “«…»”, the first new album to appear by the legendary French composer and performer, Anne Gillis, in 28 years. Released in limited editions of 300 copies on LP and 200 copies on CD, sculpting entirely singular and visionary tapestries of sonority at the borders of noise, industrial, and music concrète, it encounters an artist of towering importance at the height of her powers, and is unquestionably one of the most exciting new releases of the …
LP5
* 2 x LP in die cut card inner sleeves, in wide spine outer sleeve with thumb cut and embossed cover. Postcard sticker insert plus download card insert. * The untitled fifth studio album by English electronic music duo Autechre was released in 1998 by Warp. No title was printed anywhere within the artwork, so it is commonly referred to as LP5, in line with the later EP EP7; it has also been called Autechre, as well as Album, as listed on promotional copies Landing in 1998 between the endlessly…
Chiastic Slide
Marking their fourth studio album, Chiastic Slide saw Autechre exploring dark, glitched-out sonics, harsh sounds, and mechanical rhythms. Chiastic Slide - the glitch blueprint - endlessly imitated, deconstructed and worshipped, now a quarter of a century old and still capable of shaping the narrative. We’ve said it before, but the period that followed Chiastic Slide was a weird one in electronic music, there were just no other records that shaped IDM in quite the same way. This rubs people the…
Os
New album by the the Hague-based composer and multi-instrumentalist Lyckle de Jong "This album is titled Os. When I look at the shape of these two letters, O and S, I realize that they are a rotation and an oscillation. Os is Dutch for Ox. An ox is a castrated male bull.
The primary benefit of castrating bull calves is to
temper their tempers, making it easier and cheaper for people to handle them. Os is also an abbreviation of oscillation, -cillation being castrated off.
Oscillation means a …
