Distruct
“On this, their second LP, P16.D4 solicited tapes from several artists from Europe, England, the U.S., Canada, and Japan, and mixed that with their own material. Though in the current digital age collaborations from artists thousands of miles apart is quite normal, this was a quite radical approach back in 1982, when work on this LP began – an interesting concept that actually works quite well, since these artists, which include Bladder Flask, DDAA, the Haters, Merzbow, Nocturnal Emissions, Nurs…
Majestic Noise Made in Beautiful Rotten Iran
It's an all electronic affair, harmonically maximalist, predominantly symphonic synthetic, requiring active listening. Some pieces function as challengers of musical structural habits, provoking the short attention span culture, others present
a problem-solution scenario, collectively via
a neoteric noise aesthetic and detailed melodic weaving. Ultimately, the objective was to engineer an assortment of works full of sound, euphonic and vivid in nature.
Sunshine Has Blown
Tip! *150 copies limited edition. In process of stocking* 2022 reissue of the now cult classic 2006 CDr release by Australian improvisers Joel Stern and Adam Park: "Observers, due to the location of the site, would always be in movement and their impressions would become an experience in space—time. They would see slab-like forms in ever-changing relationships. Private sensation would be obvious from the play with the relationships of size and position of the planes and the employed and implied …

NEN (feat. Pierre Bastien)
*100 copies limited edition* Inspired by the work of Arte Povera, NEN achieves a high level of perceptual density with a limited sonic palette, combining remnants of musical instruments and electronics between fragments of samples and field recordings.

Young Women Of Asia
Tip! *50 copies limited edition. 2022 stock* Turntables prepared with misplaying flexi-discs of Japanese and Pakistani folk music, mediated into precise collages of whirling voices and broken melodies.

Relativity/Only
'Relativity/Only' is Clinton Green's clearest refinement of the dutiful and curious work he has cultivated over several years in recording his gently automated percussion experiments. Green conjures a celestial zoom view of a very private cosmos, using turntables as a source of movement and various static or suspended instruments and repurposed objects, captured in a softly endless world of binaural ambience. Unable to repeat a single step or rhythm given the mostly hands off methods Green emplo…
Turbulence
*250 copies limited edition. Printed color sleeves sporting hand-drilled holes of varying amounts, size and placing. In process of stocking* Turbulence is a prequel of sorts, with two twenty minute studies in smoldering noise and concretized electricity, as evinced through shortwave radio, corroded metal-on-metal, and glass being vibrating just shy of the point for shattering. Thick, fluttering, heated rays of sound building a slow tension of rhythmic, oppressive structures. Piercing, crackling …
Lähmung Des Wartens
*239 copies limited edition. Printed and hand stamped color sleeves with manilla tag and two inserts. In process of stocking* Continuing the themes surrounding "Unproduktiw", this time set in a maritime context. A tedious reality of qualm and levitation, lodged in the borderlands between the infinite and the conclusion. A partly accidental sound diary with ties to deep water, daydreaming and the futile attempts to create contentment with life under the omen of declining years. The clutching at s…

The music in this album with myriads of sounds, regular and irregular pulses, unfolds a similar transforming quality.

Tod Dockstader's Aerial series, an electronic/drone masterpiece, is cherished among fans of the artist's work.15 years in the making, Tod Dockstader's Aerial series is sourced from his life long passion for shortwave radio.

Tip! *100 copies limited edition. In process of stocking* From A Harbour Softly Drawn & Andrew Wild, is the inaugural release from newly established Glasgow-based experimental label, 4th Ward Private Press.
