Black Vomit
'It was the unexpected event of the 2005 FIMAV festival: avant jazz legend Anthony Braxton joining noisy bad boys Wolf Eyes on-stage. But it did not come completely out of left field. A few months earlier at another festival, the 60-year-old saxophonist had attended a performance by the Michigan noise trio and was transformed, buying a copy of everything the band had to sell that night. The man had been hit in the face by noise music. At the 22nd FIMAV, Braxton was scheduled to play a duo concer…
Modern Dance Gold, Vol. 1
From the UK based imprint, The state51 Conspiracy, comes, “Modern Dance Gold, Vol. 1”, the debut LP by Better Corners, a brand-new project from Valentina Magaletti, Sarah Register, and Matthew Simms. Harnessing a vast range of sound sources, it's a visionary expanse of abstract textures and tonalities that steadily defies any association with genre - incorporating elements of industrial music, post-punk, dance music, noise, and new age into its incredibly ambitious two sides.

A Satyr And The Sinner
*In process of stocking* Debut tape by Touch Starved, a newcomer in Finnish noise. Harsh electronics with minimal approach that leaves the room for textures to really sink in, brokened by sudden bursts of piercing feedback. Atmospheres moving from dark to ethereal with really nice ambient passages.
The New Boyfriends 3
Tip! On this third release The New Boyfriends breaks out from duo formation, introducing Masa on saxophone to become together a brain blistering harsh jazz trio. First part is filled with two scorching harsh noise tracks where junk metal abuse, harsh pedal noise and fierce sax blowing collide intensively. The second one focuses more on atmosphere and textures while retaining the qualities of harsh noise
Abstract Musette
"This seemingly improbable duo finds both artists defending a common cause, with Lanz as stunning turntablist to serve as a perfect companion to Kocher's iconoclastic approach to his instrument. Detailed moves, fast gestures and throbbing pulses are recurrently cut by silences and sustained tones. Short rhythmic patterns and precise syllables emerge only to give way to more intimate sequences where players drift into some neutral space before re-colliding again into actualizations of micro-event…
Private Thoughts Recordings
*99 copies limited edition* Mauthausen Orchestra was one of the most important musical projects of the Italian industrial scene in the 80’s and has contributed to the birth of the power electronics and harsh noise across the globe. Tape after tape has constituted, in a few years, the backbone of what we will know as an alienating and extremist style, made of metal nightmares and sonic torture , often dilated, dissected and extended up to the limit of endurance. Mauthausen Orchestra carry us as r…

Sonic Rituals 声响仪式
*2022 stock* Sound Artists Mei Zhiyong from China and Dave Phillips from Switzerland did a tour of China in July 2014 titled “Sonic Rituals”. They travelled through 17 cities playing 19 concerts. The red thread of the film is the subcurrent that talks of feelings, atmosphere, travel, friendship, sounds, passion and of ceremony - of the rituals that are part of the performances, that are the performances and that are part of the greater language of sound and of travelling with sound. Director Mei…

Songs Our Mother Taught Us
*2022 stock* The work of upstate New York noise-jazz trio Borbetomagus is frequently described in terms of overwhelming power and aggression. In a live context, that's absolutely the dominant impression one is likely to get. On record, though, it's possible to have some control over the volume, and thus to listen closely and carefully and discern real technique at work, not to mention a subtlety that's not really surprising, given that saxophonists Jim Sauter and Don Dietrich, and guitarist Dona…
Flatwise Huddle - Performing And Expanding Cracked Everyday Electronics 1968-2016
Andy Guhl’s career as an improvisational musician went from strength to strength in the 1970s but it wasn’t until 1983 that the Swiss experimenter and architect stopped using any traditional instruments in order to embrace electronic collage, a technique that incorporates the use of modified radios, turntables, transmitters and other objects in a sort of ante-litteram circuit-bending. A similar approach emerged in collaboration with Norbert Möslang as part of Voice Crack, a collective active fro…

Subsongs
*30 copies limited edition* Subsongs is supposed to function like the soundtrack to a non- existent film. The images evoked by these songs depend on the imagination of the listener. Subsongs itself is a term borrowed from ornithology. It means any utterances from birds that are not associated with their standard ‘songs’ that make them recognizable as a species (e.g. the subsong of crows includes a lot of chirping and/or melodic sounds that are not normally associated with their ‘krah’ song. Thes…

Gak
New Forces is proud to release this CD edition of Evil Moisture's landmark 1997 LP "Gak." Remastered from the original source tape by Grant Richardson, Gak exceeds categorization, description, and even quantification. Across 33 tracks (or is it 53 tracks? What about all that "No Gak"??) - Andy Bolus shows why he is the undisputed master of tape-noise insanity. Chopped, cut, and sewn back together with a blend of genius and madness. This is nothing less than an inspiring piece of experimental sou…
