Mechanics & Music (2CD)
"The Italian post-industrial scene has certainly been very rich: bands like Officine Schwartz, Rosemary's Baby, Ain Soph, Sigillum S, Atrax Morgue, T.A.C., and many others are testament to how this genre unexpectedly took root in Italy. F:A.R. came f…
Entités
2010 release ** Limited numbered edition of 142 copies. Special cardboard sleeve. Entities is the spectral realization of a process of transformation, or even a mutation, of a sound material stemming from recordings of tracks originally created to be…
Botul À La Campagne
2014 release ** "There’s an incredible amount being offered up on Botul à la campagne, which takes ideas and brings out so much that the average musician wouldn’t think to do. Côté and Kese both manage to brilliantly bring forth so many different ide…
S’enfouir
2012 release ** An excellent CD, I thought, full of sparkling pieces, strange moves and with an exciting brief character per track. Certainly moving around various musical circles. It's the 20th publication - out of 24, one for each hour of a day - p…
Ailleurs
2012 release ** The achievement of Ailleurs is that by mutating its intonation and freeing the bass from its limitations as a purely rhythmic instrument a new interface appears. The reverberating result is of an expansive formula that evocatively bui…
Ctenophora
2011 release ** This release occupies a very rarefied and odd aesthetic, evocatively pitting flurries of remote-sounding electronics against thin sinews of violin. The disc oscillates between a type of ironed-out fiddle music (all ornamentation and m…
Ave <W>
2010 release ** Taking the form of a sumptuous and exquisite musical nightmare, Ave <w> is Tiari Kese’s first album. Recorded and produced by Michel F Côté, these enigmatic electronic compositions feature as well an array of conventional instruments …
À L'inattendu Les Dieux Livrent Passage
2010 release ** Nine pieces of some great orchestral music. Moving slowly, like gentle minimal music, which slowly, over the course of these pieces built up. It combines improvisation (although sparsely here), with minimal glissandi and small melodie…
Sainct Laurens
2009 release ** The nine pieces are relatively short and in a strange sort of way quite noisy. Strange because the bigger part the music is acoustically made, but with that bit of amplification that makes all the scraping sounds wandering off every n…
La Notte Fa
2008 release ** Drums & laptop. Then add a third ingredient to the first two: multiple samples. In La notte fa, Côté and A_dontigny have laid down sculptural music on a groove. Contribution by Bernard Falaise, Alexander MacSween, Jean René and Alexan…
63 Apparitions
2004 release ** Everything sounds remarkably organic, blending the electronic and the acoustic into a fluid whole. As I walked around Yonkers, NY's Untermyer Park today, a space I've known intimately for the past fifteen years, I listened to the snat…
Des Gestes Défaits
2004 release ** Circular remixing, deconstructed concerts. Here, Bernard Falaise is the recomposer, abandoning his guitar in the service of Martin Tétreault's material. Eleven pieces of three minutes each make up this body of music, reconstituted fro…
32 Years Of Rain
2018 release ** “Kiawaltz” is commissioned and compiled by Old Captain to commemorate the early musical rituals composed by Maurizio Pustianaz, a famous Italian experimental artist known since 1984, and his project Gerstein, whose first recordings fe…
Torn Tongue
2002 release ** Edition of 160 in a 6.75" round three panel cardboard cover. Recorded 1997-1998 in Cambridge, MA and Nijmegen, NL. All sounds taken from the spoken voice of KS, recorded in Gainesville, Florida, in different acoustic environments.
Heart To Heart (A Collection And More)
2014 release ** Oversize silver card cover. A Maurizio Pustianaz (Gerstein) project. Collection of previous releases with four new bonus tracks.
Harakiri For Seven Strings
1994 release ** 3" CD in slipcase housed in A5 package. ""Harakiri For Seven Strings" is a real thunder, because it uses only terrific guitar noise as the base of heavily distorted collages of collapsing brainwaves."
Kiawaltz
2018 release ** “Kiawaltz” is commissioned and compiled by Old Captain to commemorate the early musical rituals composed by Maurizio Pustianaz, a famous Italian experimental artist known since 1984, and his project Gerstein, whose first recordings fe…
The Death Ointment
Gerstein is the industrial / noise / classical alias of Italian artist Maurizio Pustianaz. “The Death Ointment” collects two early tapes previously released by Ramleh's Broken Flag and Atrax Morgue's Slaughter Production — “The Death Posture” (1987) …
A sad song for A.
Tip! *300 copies limited edition* «The project “a sad song for A.” was born from an insight Stefano Gentile had, driven by his moods and, in particular, a regret he had experienced in the past. It all began almost by chance, one evening, during an in…
