Lalienation
2010 release ** "Sabine Ercklentz plays trumpet and electronics and Andrea Neumann plays inside piano and mixing desk. Especially music by the latter we came across in the field of improvisation, and this disc is surely another fine work in that direction. But its also an expansion of their territory. Somewhere in the second piece, the title piece there is all of a sudden a rhythm coming in, which must be like heresy in the world of improvisation. The whole work is pretty vibrant with the trumpe…
Devil's Music

The New York-based experimental composer and circuit bender created this work through live radio sampling techniques that anticipated developments in electronic music production by several years.

Dates
Ees'T records is happy to announce a further step into the Maurizio Bianchi new production, a new compact disc which completes the Trilogy starting with the previous Colori and First Day-Last Day. This time the author concentrates on Time, or the inevitable. A sound counterpointistic journey beginning with the creation of the first human being, in autumn 4026 B.C.E. and passing through the two big planetary cataclysms. Then the individual experience of MB himself is investigated, a sort of elect…
Ghost Of A Plane Of Air
2006 release ** Keenan Lawler has spent the last 25 years developing his own personal sound world, constantly pushing himself in new directions and developing new techniques, while remaining completely focused on his vision. His experiments on 1930 national resonator guitar are the stuff of legend you sometimes hear from town to town by someone who may have had the good fortune to witness one of his performances. Words such as cosmic, monolithic and deeply american have been used to describe the…
Atlas saltA (Map Lies, Border Lies...)
2005 release ** "On his third release for Dekorder Didac Lagarriga is opening his sound towards a more open, less formal and repetitive style, mixing field recordings, instruments from Africa and South East Asia and surreal voices into a floating freeform sound. Including the most beautiful love song I have ever heard."
Dishoek
2005 release ** "Just before we started to miss Guido Möbius he surprised us with “Dishoek”, his second album, recorded for Hamburg’s Dekorder label. Again featuring a conglomeration of acoustic and electrical instruments (guitar, bass, violin, cornet drums, synthesizer, clarinet among other things.) and a variety of guests, so that one hardly dares to call it a solo album. Still everything is magically held together by one single person. Melodies and noises, styles and individual characteristic…
Navigation in hypertext
Lehn and Schmickler's 1st recording, Bart is considered one of the best synth improv albums ever made. Since Bart, dating back to 2000, the duo has toured frequently through Europe, Japan and the USA. This double-release, features some of the best performances the duo recorded over the course of 15 live concerts. A brilliant amalgam of the two musicians' strengths, Navigation in hypertext utilizes both improvisation and studio postproduction techniques to create a lasting work, combining the fee…

"Reissue of 'The Flight Of Real Image' MCD, released on Hic Sunt Leones (1993), with six bonus and exclusive tracks.

Memory Makes Noise
2006 release ** "With this release by Small Voices, Gianluca Becuzzi (ex-Limbo), for the first time, presents his work under his birth name, confining the aka Kinetix as an extension of his name. "Memory Makes Noise" is an important passage in the long carreer of our Tuscan sound-artist, projecting him to the achievement of his own creative dimension. Left the cold digital aesthetic, Gianluca Becuzzi, is focusing his re-search on electro-acoustic sounds, livening "Memory Makes Noise" with throbb…
Enso
2007 release ** "Although the cover art for Enso is strikingly similar to recent 12k releases, there the similarity ends. With Enso, Luigi Turra has conjured up an organic and contemplative three-track epic, that resonates on subsequent listenings. Infused with Japanese sonic architectures and rigorous reductionist principles, this is a deeply meditative world of gently plucked instruments, and faded atmospherics, peppered with closely focussed tinklings and crystalline shards to add texture. Be…
Robbed
2007 release ** "This new Goem release is a solo work by Roel Meelkop (this time without Frans de Waard and Peter Duimelinks). The source material is an anonymous CD, whose samples are used for these eight tracks. The result is a combination of rhythmic patterns with minimalistic passages, strange loops, repetitive elements. Therefore, an interesting episode into Goem’s production, quite different from early releases of the trio, maybe preluding an evolution in its music."
Muddy speaking Ghosts through my Machines
2006 release ** Muddy Speaking Ghosts Through My Machines' is the brand new album released together by Fabio Orsi and Gianluca Becuzzi. This album will be certainly followed by other cooperations, considering the big friendly artistic sodality between them. Fabio e Gianluca are a strange duo, considering the big differences of their artistic back-ground. Fabio Orsi is a young and unexpected talent. After his first album, "Osci" (LP, SmallVoices 2005), produced by Gianluca Becuzzi, he got a lot o…
neutrino
2007 release ** "Here is a record that sounds so retro that it seems modern and obsolete. Be Invisible Now! is the musical project of Marco Giotto from Treviso, a guy with a past in various bands, a collaboration with With Love and a passion for vintage instruments from the 70s. Neutrino, his first record, is played entirely with deliciously old-fashioned analog instruments. Vintage Roland and Korg keyboards, tube synthesizers and theremins at full blast. The result is a cosmic kraut journey wit…
Fear The Windows
Uncle William Borroughs would have loved a record like this, it's the result of a cut and paste process enriched by elements played with drums, guitars, vocals, bass, trumpet and many other things. he musicians of [1] Kilo of Black Bondage were united for the first time in 2003 during the I.D.E.A.L festival at the Lieu Unique in Nantes, France. Then, moving from stage to stage in France and Europe, they enriched and cultivated an original musical material made from evolving textures, sonic lands…

Die Hennen Zähne
**Edition of 600** A four track mini CD combining the never released two 10 inch's Maus (DS57) and Die Hennen Zähne (DS66). Die Hennen Zähne opens with Die Kralle actually a David Jackman track from his archive recorded in the early 1980's. Next is the title track Die Hennen Zähne, a joyful noise not unlike some of the TNB/Organum material incl. the sound of broken glass and tibetan horns, best to be experienced loud. Maus is the centre piece of this mini album and typical old school Organum. Th…
