Great Events Are Coming
* Edition of 200 * Over time, different sound elements have settled, coming to constitute a heterogeneous but at the same time subly fascinating whole. The noise was compounded by infanticidely rhythmic timbres of toy instruments, rustling and crackling of old vintage radios have been joined by snippets of miniaturized voices from the web. The final work is a fil rouge that crosses all these elements joining them in an unconventional sound research hypothesis.

Black Silences
"Newly launched independent label based in Italy Naked Lunch Records is another fine purveyor of now legendary industrial power electronic acts (Maurizio Bianchi…) and challenging contemporary artists in the field of abstract and noisy drone ambient. It sounds quite natural that Giuseppe Verticchio, mastermind of Nimh found a warm welcome there. With a quite singular, eclectic and dense musical production that goes from thrilling cinematic calmscapes, to ritualistic looped ambient and post-indus…

Enfant Terrible Vol. 1
**2020 stock** The cartoon composition Enfant Terrible was conceived as part of Norwegian cartoonist and artist Christopher Nielsen’s project where he sought to express himself in as many art forms as possible within one year, 2014 – all for the purpose of being listed in the Guinness Book of Records. Enfant Terrible would thus have covered the fifth art form; music. And here lays the proof that Enfant Terrible is a composition: four performers within the field of electronic music have interpret…
Lexachast
**clear vinyl edition with alternate cover** Lexachast is an ongoing collaborative work by Amnesia Scanner, Bill Kouligas, and Harm van den Dorpel. Initially birthed as a joint, improvised performance between Amnesia Scanner and Kouligas at the ICA, London in 2015, it was later recreated and extended with visual artist van den Dorpel into a 15-minute online-only audiovisual work -- known simply as Lexachast. Since then, it has expanded into a live show that has been performed at Transmediale, CT…
Love Waves Ecstatic Charge
Love Waves Ecstatic Charge uses visual material to construct sonic architecture. The visuals are one hundred and six still images taken from an experimental video which was initially shot when Rob Mazurek was in residency at Abbaye Royal de Fontevraud, France, 2005. Upon his return from the residency he discovered the camera broken and barely operational other than the fact of being able to extract frame by frame 106 distorted still images and fragmented skipping sound that would on occasion bur…
Snow Crash
Voodoo noise and poetry : what is sound, what is poetry? What is this reality and how are we perceiving it? This LP brings together two extreme and loud vocal performers digging and channeling invisible realities through electronically expanded proto languages. No occult bullshit, this is an experimental non-dual approach to reality: clashes and crashes into extatic trances. Joachim Montessuis develops an experimental contextual practice mainly around voice, drone, noise and resonance since the …
Weapon Design
The very latest from Ramleh's Anthony Di Franco, whose long-running solo JFK project has been dedicated to the kind of concrete-mixed rhythmic pummel countless others would almost kill for since the cassette network culture of the 1980s. It's an immersive sound that, naturally, shares a little common ground with Ramleh yet emphasizes the monstrous chasms that can be drawn from a sturdy combo of bass-churn and galvanized beats. Whilst the labyrinthine textures beamed in from steelworks remain ver…
We will fight back!
2009 release ** The ultimate version of the ultimate Blackhouse album. Brian Ladd presents you WWFB as it was recorded and meant to be heard.

Consuelo
2018 release ** "“score” or inspiration for this CD was a solo concert of Burkhard Stangl at the Reheat festival at Kleylehof in 2014. The theme of the performance was the song Bésame Mucho by the Mexican composer Consuelo Velázquez. Chesterfield then took the recording and recomposed it, and composed new pieces mixing everything with old and new recordings, home recordings, accidental recordings, live performances ... all Chesterfield from 2013 till now... a Chesterfield diary of songs, of noi…
Variations IV, Vol. II
A 1965 journey into found sound; this is John Cage. Another seminal volume of indeterminate music, from an icon of experimental sounds. Reissued for the first time and thematically on gorgeous clear vinyl! It could be argued that there is no more controversial figure in music history as avant-garde electronic composer John Cage. Perhaps best known for his composition “4'33"" which consisted of Cage sitting at a piano for four-plus minutes of total silence, Cage was both loved and loathed …
Legacy Map
** Edition of 150 copies ** Sprung from the eclectic new wave of Italian noise and industrial music, Lettera 22 is a duo consisting of Matteo Castro and Riccardo Mazza, based in Vittorio Veneto. Their noise is dynamic and creative, balancing in the field between contemporary art music and harsh noise brutality: gritty, textured concrete sounds and field recordings are recorded and manipulated with analogue tape, drenched in tape hiss and finally crushed by a wall of distorted electronics and fe…
Gridshape
2012 release ** "Gridshape is an intersection of heavily distorted violent sounds with points of kinetic aural quietness through the interaction between digital electronics and guitars. Franz Rosati: Electronics, distorted guitars. Francesco Saguto: Classic, distorted, prepared guitars."
Nonagon knives
CIP is pleased to present the debut pro-pressed solo CD by Jason Soliday, one of Chicago's finest sound creators - manipulators - disentigrators. I've known Jason for coming up on 13 years- -his gunshop duo was one of the first live noise performances I saw when I moved to Chicago, and over the years I've witnessed many of his projects. In the last few years, though, I feel Jason really hit a stride with his home-built - customized analog synths, and this disc reflects his sensibilities: sharp e…
Quarry
*Limited to 200 copies* "Quarry is the latest chapter in the ongoing collaboration between the London-based composer-performer of musique concrète Adam Asnan and the Italian sound artist and mastering engineer Giuseppe Ielasi. As the title may suggests, this encounter produced a dusty sculpture whose shape was only drafted immediately after the stone has been excavated from the ground, and where it is hard to distinguish the acousmatic touch of Asnan from the rhythmic textures of Ielasi. "It ven…
Dystonia Duos
2013 release ** "Contrary to the effects of the titular condition, which I'm given to understand afflicts both musicians, and as also implied in the images of distorted and pained hands adorning the cover, there's some seriously steady and decisive music contained herein. It's understandable, for a moment, that the innocent listener might have an idea that this is more Panzner's affair than Stuart's if, like yours truly, one's knowledge of the latter's work is pretty much covered by his adventur…
