2006 release ** Elaborate cardboard sleeve. Xavier Charles, clarinetist and electro-acoustical experimentalist (he uses variety of objects, which he throws into vibrating loud-speaker), played on the first edition of legendary Musica Genera Festival in 2002. Back then, he deeply impressed the polish audience with his charisma, therefore we were waiting for his firther performances with great anticipation, and now we are happy about this album. It's a recording of a live performance on board of M…
The art of buzzing (Excuse the delay vol.1)
2001 release ** "A terrific drone album here, on this first solo-release, Werner Durand presents six works all dealing with the buzzing phenomena. This phenomena is found in many musical cultures around the world as an integral part of the sound, eg. with chinese and korean flutes, ethiopian and basque string instruments and also the Indian tanpura. The results are stunning: dense drones with pulsing, buzzing, dizzying movements swarm with an intoxicating cadence. Recorded in multi-track, the so…

Day for night
This CD represents a 25-year collaboration between renowned British avant-garde improviser Peter Cusack and instrument builder and sculptor Max Eastley. Cusack and Eastley have made these short episodes together between busy careers recording experimental music alongside artists such as Nicolas Collins, Steve Beresford, and David Toop).

Stille post
2004 release ** Oversize card sleeve. Ulrich Böttcher: percussion, electronics. Uwe Buhrdorf: clarinet, electronics. Ulrich Phillipp: bass, electronics. Since 1994 Maxwells Dämon has been playing improvised music with electro-acoustic instruments. The trio works beneath the surface of cleanly structured contexts to explore the molecular structure of music. With the music on 'Stillte post', Maxwells Dämon expands their fragmentary approach extending it to the field of postproduction. The recorded…
Waste of songs
2006 release ** With Waste of Songs Joe Colley offers a series of events jumping between brutal noise, field recording, and (fake?) psychoacoustic tonal interactions. The result is a tightly edited collage journey through states of mental duress and negative reactions to an environment. There are sounds of broken or dying equipment, devices pushed to limits, attempts to coax out spontaneous reactions from feedback and linked cheap electronics. A strong statement, and an evolution showing the nex…
I, Angelica
Sounding like an archaic echo, If, Bwana could be the title of a Bob Hope-Bing Crosby vehicle that never got made. A little investigation reveals it as the oddly worded cover for Al Margolis, who is perhaps better known as a tireless activist in the 1980s American cassette underground and, later, as the co-founder of experimental music label Pogus Productions. Derived from an acronym for It's Funny, But We Are Not Amused, the name sticks out like a cartoon-swollen sore thumb alongside such artis…

Cette pièce de 51 minutes en trois volets témoigne de La vitalité et de La créativité dont faisait preuve Henri Chopin qui travailLait encore à plus de 82 ans !, avec acharnement et passion.
Ku
The act of conjuring remarkable sound from found objects is at the very heart of this recording from American musicians Greg Davis and Jeph Jerman. Having met in Arizona some years back, Davis and Jerman commenced working together on a series of recording projects. Improvising with a range of implements and devices ranging from sticks, stones and lo-fi electronics to prepared instruments, gongs and broken percussion, the pair sought to develop a personal language that reflected their individual …

Et ses apparitions
2005 release ** "Edgar Olivier Charles doesn’t exist, it’s the alter-ego of Roger Tellier-Craig, who works as Et Sans, Le Fly Pan Am and Set Fire to Flames. So far so good. ‘Rediscovered music recorded in Montreal between september 2002 and january 2005, it says on the cover and rediscovered are three tracks. In each subtitle, to each track, a name is mentioned: Iannis, Karlheinz and John – so, I’d say Xenakis, Stockhausen and Cage (well, more likely than, say Adams? Lennon?). And maybe Edgar Ol…
Three Works For Live Electronics
Originally released on Lovely Music as Pulsers / Untitled in 1984. This re-release includes an additional piece from David Tudor, Phonemes. Pulsers explores the world of rhythms created electronically by analog, rather than digital, circuitry. With analog circuitry, the time-base common to the rhythms can be varied in many different ways by a performer, and can eventually become unstable. Untitled is a part of a series of works composed in the 1970s that were developed through experiments in gen…
Leapday Night
A series of three pieces/suites documenting David Behrman's evolved interactive computer music practice from the 1980s, featuring Rhys Chatham and Ben Neill (trumpet/mutantrumpet), Fluxus mainstay Takehisa Kosugi (violin), and Behrman himself on electronics. This essential recording captures Behrman's mature work with listening machines: thickly layered liquid sounds created through a complex computer music system which absorbs, actually hears, the sounds of instrumentalists, then plays off thei…
On the Other Ocean
Originally released on Lovely Music in 1978 and now available on CD, this essential recording documents David Behrman's groundbreaking exploration of interactive computer-human improvisation—among the earliest works to establish real-time dialogue between musicians and microprocessor systems.
On the Other Ocean is an improvisation by Maggi Payne and Arthur Stidfole centered around six pitches which, when played, activate electronic pitch-sensing circuits connected to the "interrupt" line and inp…
Sitting on Theories on the Frontier on Extension
2003 release ** Cardboard sleeve, each copy with a unique hammer imprint. "Akin to Erik Satie’s advice to the performer of his Vexations to prepare oneself with some “serious immobilities”, Cal Crawford here examines the impossibilities of holding still. For ‘sitting on theories on the frontier on extension’, his first full length solo CD, he generated sounds by sitting on top of a bundle of blankets with a microphone rolled up into its center. This one hour process was his starting point. He di…
Peachy Keen-O
This CD has pieces with an auctioneer, a Kentucky farm with birds & clover, a jazz dancer, a quivering, vibrating, sexually tinged piece full of women saying supplication, a saint dying in flames, a drum piece about frustration, mother/daughter miscommunication, a pipe organ, and punk rap with overtones of yoga. Many of Beth Anderson's compositions from 1973-1979 use words or parts of words to make either all or part of the music. Sometimes the music is derived from the words. Some of it is cons…
