Please Pick It Up
“Please Pick It Up” wraps up two duets conceived, played and recorded by Jia Xiao and Yifan in late spring (April 3 at Ming Room, June 8 at trigger). The title is derived from the action of making a phone call, which appears on Side A, serving as the medium and operation of producing and transmitting sound. Jia Xiao and Yifan opened the microphones and receivers of a landline telephone and cellphones to the air—the air of certain spaces the two creators inhabited—a living room extended a balcony…

Mare's Tail
In 1969 both Anthony Moore and David Larcher were at the start of their respective careers and both were inspired by the ideas of the avant garde and the new technologies becoming available to them. David experimented with the various techniques being explored in the medium of film making and Anthony tested the limits of what could be done with tape recorders. It was an open and co-operative exploration. The results of their first collaboration was the film Mare’s Tail - an unusually long 2:30 h…

Dichotomic Language
The duo of Yan Jun and Eric Wong focus on the temporal and spatial interplay of organic and digital sound. Using human voice, sine waves, and white noise as their instruments, the musicians modulate the sound sources to bring out resonance as well as to create sonic movements that blurs the borders among the sonic events. Eric says “When I perform with Yan Jun, I swing my arm holding a Bluetooth speaker as he filters his voice by moving his head and body. I remember I did it for the first time w…

Lacuna and parlor
‘Lacuna and Parlor’ is anchored in the left-field chamber music and incidental recordings that have long accented more eaze’s roving sound. Composed with one ear pressed to the rich textures of instrumental recording environments, this is a resonant and tactile collection tinged in rephrased space and skewed time. Taking the rudiments of tonal music theory as her conceptual base, more eaze formed the compositions around her own manipulations of these core principles. Simple chord progressions st…
Comes From Far Away From Here
*100 copies limited edition* Resourcefulness is sometimes presented as a humble quality born of necessity. But it’s a foundational tenet of the exceptionally unconstrained members of improvising trio Tamarisk, consisting of Christina Carter, David Menestres, and Andrew Weathers. Their latest is a continuation of the interplay they’ve developed for a few years now on a handful of releases and while touring. Like the most bizarre sort of jazz combo, Tamarisk grazes the orbits of outré free improv,…
Distinct and Concealed
*100 copies limited edition* This meet-up between two thoughtful practitioners of minimal and process-oriented music succeeds not because it is resourceful but because its gestures are clearheaded. Disciplined and exploratory, it is like observing someone fixing a watch: methodical and calm, periodically getting up and selecting a tool, working for stretches of full concentration, and hearing the footsteps and rustle of clothing. The titles of the pieces – “Distinct” and “Concealed” – suggest te…
Jenseits Der Wand
*300 copies limited edition* "Jenseits der Wand" is the latest CD-release by Berlin-based multi-disciplinary artists Daniela Fromberg and Stefan Roigk, which results from two walk-in sound installations, which were realized in 2021 and 2022.
While one focuses on the diverse acoustic dimension of urban life with all its obscure and often indecipherable noises behind your own four walls, the other deals with the specific soundscape of a recycling center, which is created from the supposedly worthl…
