Exodus
'Exodus': the third installment in Ameel Brecht's tape series centered on the theme of sleep, this time focusing on the conflicting realities of sleep and awakening. Sleep as a boundless, recurring valley. A place of wandering where you disappear among wild grasses and hungry dreams. Wake-up equals exodus: a bittersweet goodbye to half-remembered, distant worlds. Edition of 70 copies.
The Escape Of The Electrified Dermatologist Epitomises His Dissent With The Compromising Juxtaposition Of The Smell And The Sound Of A Pair Of Wings Injured In Subdued Romance
2006 release ** "DSM’s music world appears as the intricate but finest tapestry of microscopic sounds, sophisticated packing of voids with sonic hallucinations, textural interactions and layering effects. Mostly sourced from the ordinary life, sounds changed beyond any recognition, the endless flow of electroacoustic treatments and studio engineering. This album includes collaborations with some finest sound-artists over there, and must be attended as the most diversified one. It contains track…
Early Years
2011 release ** "Live recordings from Syntjuntan’s first two years. Music especially composed for textile accessories. The music is tangled with lace and long stitches, embroidered with electronic sounds, square waves and curled noise. Syntjuntan is an ensemble of female composers, musicians and instrument builders. Our purpose is to meet women’s curiosity about technology and electronics, to encourage them to build instruments by themselves and otherwise facilitating their own experimentation.…
Essays On Radio: Can I Have 2 Minutes Of Your Time?
2005 release ** "Compiled by @c's Miguel Carvalhais, Essays on Radio: Can I Have 2 Minutes of Your Time? brings together 39 artists from the experimental electronica scene, paying tribute to or drawing inspiration from the oldest electronic media. Each piece is exactly 120 seconds, which creates a rather frantic pace; the listener soon loses track of whose contribution will play next and the music turns into a nearly uninterrupted continuum of juxtaposed sonic statements. The artists touch base…
Baby, It's Cold Inside
'The fun years', comprised of multi-instrumentalists Ben Recht and Isaac Sparks, have been making music together since the turn of the century, producing intriguing interrogations of ambient, drone, post-rock, and turntablism. Originally released in 2008 on the now-defunct Barge Recordings, 'baby it’s cold inside' is perhaps the high watermark of their discography. Equally concerned with microtonal nuance and harmonic intensity, it is both a product of its time and something well past it. The ch…
These Graves
2005 release ** "Justin Meyers of Devillock distinguishes himself from the mediocre masses with the release These Graves, or, if one combines the track titles, “The Blood From,” “These Graves,” “Weigh Forever,” “On Rotten Creatures”. To me, the mark of a good noise, experimental, or ambient disc is the ability to make me uncomfortable. To take me out of the daily comfortable reality and make me feel fear, dread, hate, melancholy – this is the reason I listen to noise. These Graves combines drone…
Drafts
2007 release ** Dawid Szczesny is a sound artist located in Wroclaw, Poland. His music is mainly based on samples of old vinyl records.
JCDecaux
*24 copies limited edition* JCDecaux consists of Jaco Sette and Ethan Lambeau. Sophie Valera-Garcia (synth, whistles) contributed to tracks 2.7, 14.8, and 16.8.
Tinta Invisible
2007 release ** "Nad Spiro (Rosa Arruti), fetish artist on the Spanish experimental music scene, is back with her third solo offering. In Tinta Invisible she goes one step further stretching the sonic reach of her guitar and exploring unfrequented audioZones, using what she calls 'sound camouflage', not shy of employing her voice either. With her we discover new magnetizing horizons in the outer peripheries of electronica pulsing with deeply narcotic cadences. Possibly the least obscure of her t…
The Wondrous Journey Through The Catacombs Of Life
2009 release ** "The Wondrous Journey Through the Catacombs of Life is the second album of Musterion, following the highly acclaimed debut album The Black Lodge (2005), built upon complex and obscure composition techniques and musical innovation, and it drags the listener on a brilliantly imaginative and frightening journey that combines elements of dark ambient, surrealism, absurdity, Holyism with the help advanced structural and theoretical considerations in terms of the composition.Linking to…

2002 release ** Spanish electro with minimal rhythms and psychedelic ambient structures.
☆Lolicon Noise Star☆
2012 release ** Limited edition of 100 copies. "Venta Protesix hates music. He and his laptop are between the foremost representatives of the global scene of lolicon noise purism, a micro-terrorist genre born on the deepest reaches of last.fm shoutboxes, where mysterious 14-old Japanese schoolgirls praise chemical drug abuse, Konata-worship and black metal. Among his peculiar influences are 山内大輔 Daisuke Yamanouchi’s ero-guro movies, AV idols, hentai and the concept of fan service as an ontologic…
Parasite
2009 release ** "The works of Antanas Kučinskas collected on the album "Parasite" are based on the method of re-composition, i.e. processing material with a strong historical and stylistic identity using techniques that are completely "alien" to him. I am talking in particular about sampling, loops and scratches, which make up the aesthetics that Kučinskas himself called "parasitic music". I am an omnivorous parasite: my works feed on existing music and develop at its expense until the complete …
Tone Redust
2006 release ** "There are a lot of spontaneous and “fortuitous” sounds from casual urban life in that music on the face of it. But it is impossible to be sure that these sounds are on the background of other elements or these sounds serve themselves as a background for something main… There are also some naive and unaffected chords played on acoustic guitar as well as some clinking and iridescent synth waves & gentle drones. Generally speaking, any tunes, any beats. But, on the whole the struct…
White Zombie
2016 release ** "Paul Roland’s obsession with the 1931 film White Zombie, starring Bela Lugosi, a true cult of voodoo cinema, led him in the 90s to write the basis of what should have been the film’s soundtrack, rewritten by Roland. It was mostly instrumental music, with songs and choirs that depicted the slavery of these men reduced by the mad scientist to zombies, automatons to increase the workforce in the factories. A rather current theme, outside of metaphor… Talking about it one evening at…
Breathing
1996 release ** "In deference to this age of “environmental consciousness”, “Breathing”, says the insert, is “recycled and/or scavenged” pieces that once inhabited another form. The composer is Al Margolis, who appears on electronics, tapes, effects, piano, sampled flute, vocals, wind, cello and strings. He is joined by didjeridu, oboe and organ. The album beds itself in deep wind or breath like sounds, with an electronic, industrial, and dark edge."
Sierść
2007 release ** "Ben Zeen's music is a combination of an analog modular synthesizer, controlled by Theremin antennas and a ribbon controller, laptops as a source of deconstructed, destroyed, processed loops and samples of various origins and used simultaneously as an effects center for other, external sound sources, prepared instruments and field recordings. The laptops are equipped with numerous controllers - knobs, touch, light."
The Laughing Torso
2008 release ** "Splendid debut of Testing Vault, project of dANi/Alvo, already active as a collaborator in other releases of the Italian industrial undergrowth, and produced by our own Final Muzik. The Laughing Torso makes no secret of its influences, above all the primordial industrial of the 80s in its less aggressive and more meditative expressions, those closest to certain ritual music accompanied by the use of the voice in the form of recitations / spoken word, but also the more shady Coil…
Ianurek 5.0 X 100
2010 release ** "The Album “Ianurek 5.0 x 100″ represents a metaphysical world made for interact with the listener. Shapes and colors fill the mind, bringing the listener in a condition where the contours are outlined by the various points of union between the tracks. The record born from a subject/form focused in the foreground, characterized by a plasma contortion. This movement becomes the pulsating heart of the tracks, and the concept need to be found between the interaction of the sounds, e…
