Luv / Kopfuberwelle
Luv / Kopfüberwelle unfolds in two halves, each radiating the signature sensitivity of Sabine Vogel. “luv,” a nearly thirty-minute solo piece, sits at the intersection of field recording, flute improvisation, and subtle electronic manipulation. Vogel’s work with the Landscape Quartet shapes her approach, drawing not just on musical material but on a careful listening to site - birdsong, wind, water, and distant activity form a natural acoustic tapestry into which the flute dissolves and emerges.…
Circle wind
'Circle Wind' fields are recorded at Tokyo, Kanagawa, Niigata, Nagano, etc.. yet what's interesting is the time that recordings were made, each recording session was taking place between midnight and dawn, and the techniques that been used. "Feeble vibration and passage of air. It resembles Zen and meditation to capture the piece of these delicate sounds aurally." Hiroki Sasajima is the sound artist residents in Tokyo. He had started the activity of field recording around 2007. Since then, he go…
Cassette Memories Volume 3: South of the Border
"South of the Border is the third installment of my Cassette Memories album series. All field recordings were taped in Mexico, a country I've had a special fondness for since I was a little child. My first memory was watching photographs and Super-8 films my father shot in Mexico City from his time there during the 1968 Summer Olympics, where he competed as a member of the Japanese national hockey team. It made me realize there is a place completely different from Japan, and I started dreaming a…
Vir-Uz
2012 release ** The legendary M.B. / Maurizio Bianchi and the vulcanic Andrea Ics Ferraris team up for a special collaboration titled Vir-Uz. Their symbiosis has generated deep and intimate tracks around the biblical figure of Job, as you can read inside CD’s notes: “A salutary protagonist existed in proved real life with his disorientating trials at the lewd hands of Satan, his captious discussion with false friends on the origin and nature of his terrifying accidents, and finally a wise respon…

Sparks
2007 release** "«Sparks», like the marconimen who occupied radio stations on ships at the beginning of the twentieth century. And this extraordinary album was essentially born on the radio, in the well-deserving Rai studios of Audiobox in 1995. Brooded over for over ten years, contaminated by subsequent experiences, these sound materials now return on CD, in a sedimented and coherent object, where cultured experimentation goes hand in hand with Central European popular music and new ethnic cross…

Paysages Planétaires
Paysages Planétaires on Alga Marghen may be the great unrecognized masterpiece of ethno-electroacoustic music, a 3CD box that arrived in 2004 with almost no fanfare and has waited two decades for ears ready to hear it. Henri Pousseur and Michel Butor, collaborators across forty years and more than twenty works, here achieve something that resonates uncannily with Jon Hassell and Brian Eno's "Fourth World" concept. Yet Pousseur, the serialist pioneer who worked alongside Karlheinz Stockhausen and…
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…
