"Rarely an album comes along that elicits so many different feelings one is left speechless. Suspended Feathers achieves such sacred distinction. Executed with such meticoluos attention to detail, the music of Italy's Alio Die is afine art to behold. A splendid mixture of enchanting instruments, loops and environmental treatments combine to form a multiple layered ambience …
Twilight Rituals
2003 release ** "T.A.C. is a group of sonic alchemists who fuse synthetics, strings, acoustic instruments and treatments into a tapestry of psycho/ambient soundscapes filled with hypnotic atmospheres and synthetic incantations. It is surreal, cerebral and unique "cosmic" music of a new sort. T.R. was recorded in the same sessions of "Waiting for the Twilight" and include 14 new exclusive tracks..., a sort of "Waiting..." twin album."Twilight Rituals" is the complementary twin album to "Waiting F…
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…
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…

Airland - Studie I
Airland is an electronic music suite freely inspired by, and dedicated to, the studies on the graphical representation of air by Bruno Munari. A skilled ambient and a maniacal care of the sound.
Basis
'Basis' is based on recordings of acoustic instruments. All sounds were processed and layered into compositions by Steinbrüchel. Through this processing Steinbrüchel revealed hidden structures and melodies and isolated them, creating new melodic and organic textures without losing the soul of the original. These seven tracks reveal a new side in his music. Tonal harmonics have never before played such an important role and each track contains layers of subtle shifting and interweaving melodies, …
Soundscapes Of The Inner Eye
Soundscapes of the Inner Eye is the debut by Belgian experimental collective Noise-Maker's Fifes, released in 1995 on NMT Productions (NMT CD-01).
Formed in 1990 by Geert Feytons and Timo van Luijk, the project blends improvised music from self-made instruments, electronics, effects, and environmental recordings to craft atmospheric soundscapes. Tracks were recorded and mixed on 4-track in Amsterdam during 1992-1993, capturing their early ambient/industrial style.
Noise-Maker's Fifes evolved int…
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…
colori
The very first new recording from Maurizio Bianchi (MB) since his decision to quit the arena of sound in 1984. Yes, he's back, the world-wide recognized master of apocalyptic electronics has decided to come back to music, opening up a new phase for his creativity.
Iris
2005 release ** "During the seven-million years of the Cyclops' sleep, the rutile mountain became a flower. The ocean-cloud has crossed the Pangaea, transformed to the rainbow dewdrop of a petal. Spiracle: An aperture for breathing, such as a whale's blowhole, the opening behind the eye of sharks, rays, and skates, or the tracheal openings on the sides of the bodies of certain insects and spiders."
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…
Generators
As "Sleep" begins there is a suggestion made, a hypnotic motion meant only to seduce the mind into the belief that Darren Tate and Colin Potter are intent on relaxing muscle and slowing brain activity to a crawl. The hum of electronics blows easily until random sounds—coughing, restlessness, twisting and turning—bolt through the still waters of the track. Slowly developing melodic themes, almost too distant to piece together, stretch from their slumber and begin a slow crawl through the lamp-lit…
Moltitudine in Labirinto
Moltitudine in labirinto is a poetic journey drawn with sound. An unveiled meeting. The minimal sequences, the recognizable character of Gigi Masin’s music, here are fused with the electronic “vision” of Giuseppe Caprioli, more harsch, materic. The result is a fascinating hybrid, a new modern music, leaden and grieved, lost voice in the maze of memories. This CD, at the same time the new work of Masin and the “first time” for Caprioli, stands as a high expression in the lineage of evolution of t…
