L'Herbe de Détourne
Tip! French folk experimentalist Ernest Bergez has spent several years bringing his signature, singular sound to life in solo mode. At the same time, and despite this individualist streak, he’s a musician with a deep appreciation for communal exchange and collaboration. It’s with this in mind that L’herbe de détourne, Bergez’s latest album, sees him expand his most prominent project Sourdure from a one-man band into a four-person force, and modify the name. Say hello to Sourdurent…

Où Les Observer, Savoir Les Reconnaître
Vocalized electronics & intellectual kicks. Cervicals are shaking, neurons are chatting. Hello and thank you experimental France. The Americans envy us for having them. Decadent improvisations & raw virtuosity since 2006. 1803 concerts to their credit. 732,715 kilometers of road covered. A buttock forever and ever in the underground charts. Another one shamelessly coveting the MTV Music Award 2037. That's all, yeah.France Sauvage was banned from playing even before starting in the basement of th…

Terje
Terje is a two-track EP by Swedish composer and improviser Alex Zethson. Featuring two movements from a score Zethson wrote for Victor Sjöström’s 1917 silent film, Terje Vigen, which was based on a poem by Henrik Ibsen, these beautifully poised compositions were premiered in Trondheim, Norway on November 20th, 2021, at Vår Frue Kirke (The Church of Our Lady). For this performance, which was recorded the day following the premiere, Zethson (on piano, synths and xylorimba) was joined by Ida Løvli …
Ta Yu Ta I
"I listened to the demo recordings for the “Ta Yu Ta I” CD. The track begins with the sound of a stone, and, for a moment I doubted my ears, thinking that it was the iwafue stone flute that I had lost overseas in 2005. The flute actually used on this recording was a replica on an ancient flute, one of three that have been handed down within my family. But until that moment when I heard the sound of it echoing inside my skull, I had completely forgotten about it. It was my living flesh that breat…
2 Concerts from Beijing 2018
*2023 stock. 100 copies limited edition* "Few words about Anzi: somehow, for me, she tells the meaning of "new music". She has daily job now and for a while she was a house wife. She is not active as an artist. She is quiet and looks weak. We had some collaborations and from those she influenced me so strongly. The recording on this cassette is from miji concert 57. You can check the video from a link on subjam.org for understand more (of course not for Chinese language but other aspects)." - Ya…

Settings For Spirituals / Solo
**Original 1984 copies, still sealed and log time stored (copies may have minimal wear on covers)** Joel Chadabe, computer/synthesizer; Irene Oliver, soprano
In Settings for Spirituals Chadabe uses a computer programmed to follow the soprano's voice in every nuance and to generate "settings" to expand the musical quality of the vocal sound. In Solo, Chadabe uses a computer-music system that determines the notes of a melody and its accompaniment chords. Chadabe performs the piece by moving his h…
In The Wilderness
In The Wilderness opens with textured drums, a muted bass, celestial sound, like stars breaking into puddles. Confident engineering and gentle instrumentation invite the audience to wander into the unknown. The project draws from an experimental performance by drummer Gerald Cleaver and bassist Brandon Lopez, at 577 Records’ Forward Festival, which was later deconstructed and rebuilt by hip-hop producer Hprizm of the Antipop Consortium. All three musicians were involved in visioning the project’…

MK/CT
MK/CT is the duo of Chris Dreier (Die Tödliche Doris) and Tim Löhde. Spree is the main river that flows through Berlin. It is not often that it gets cold enough for the river to freeze over but a few years ago, the ice lay solid. Chris Dreier recorded the sounds of the ice, the cracking and popping as the temperature changed, and sent the recordings to Tim Löhde. Löhde responded, and that was the beginning of the musical correspondence that defines MK/CT. Since then, Dreier and Löhde have sent s…

Rinka
"This is a new release on the Italian label Superpang. I first met Giovanni Di Domenico, an Italian musician living in Brussels, 15 years ago. We hardly ever had the chance to play music together, and when I went to Europe just before Corona, I made this album based on a session recorded in his studio. After returning to Japan, I edited and dubbed in additional synths and strings. A fresh collaboration with an old friend, I hope you'll give it a listen! Big thanks to Tony for the great design an…
Solos and More at Studio 304
*2023 stock* "Railing backstage at his musicians between sets, drummer and big band leader Buddy Rich once declared, “There’s no sound in flutes. All I hear is noise!” It’s unclear if Alex Riva ever listened to these covertly made recordings of Rich chewing out his band. But if he had, Rich’s words certainly could have been the rallying cry on Riva’s new solo CD, Solos and More, recorded in Bangalore, India in 2019. Riva plays a wide variety of plastic recorders, the bane of many parents worldwi…

*300 copies limited edition* Timo Van Luijk with percussionist Kris Vanderstraeten, together for an enchanting exploration of liminal psychoacoustic space. "Playing with Kris always reminds me of doing expeditions in a lake. Some kind of under water sound fiction observing sonic creatures. This album is a live recording (28-01-2012, Kunstencentrum Belgie, Hasselt,Belgium) which to me always felt like one of the best concerts we did. As with our previous album Arrêt au Lac Chimère Vincent de Rogu…
