Immersion
"This was a unique experience recording for me in a studio that I have had several fantastic experiences in over 20yrs. We have not performed, had not rehearsed and were formulating a sonic world in real time as the takes proceeded. Copious light came into the room and never left! I believe we have more than a book within each of us. Sometimes a day provides a sentence. An hour provides a paragraph. A week provides a comma, and a minute provides a whole page. As Wayne Shorter says ‘Our instrumen…

Poèmes de bouche - murmurs de tête
poèmes de bouche:
because they were conceived with the mouth as if they were to be spoken in tongues
murmurs de tête:
“murmurs” and not “murmures” to recall murmur, the demon that teaches philosophy and keeps murmuring up in the head
Pax Westphalica
*200 copies limited edition* While listening to old [Multer]-recordings for a potential 25 years anniversary edition we were highly impressed by the direct two track recording of this concert in 1999 due to both the concentrated and quiet audience and the setup of some of our songs, which were preversions for the following Neskt-10” release. All in all this concert is very intense, so instead of the anniversary edition we decided to release this concert; we hope you like it too…

A Song of Civilization Up to Now
With a panoramic sweep spanning ancient chant, synth experiment and fractured jazz, Darrell DeVore crafts a heady multi-part journey in A Song of Civilization Up to Now. Homemade instruments, electronics and stuttering ensemble work animate an unpredictable collection that tunnels between traditions, collage and improvisation, reflecting on humanity’s creative arc through uncompromising sonic invention.
Dictée Magique
Dictée Magique condenses the art of live collage and vocal layering into a rhythmic and poetic dialogue. The album features four turntable improvisations by DJ **** and Sainte Rita, centering on spoken records - voices are mixed, interrupted, and recombined, creating a continuous interplay of language and sound.

Living in the present
Living in the present is an album built around the work of American minimalist poet, Robert Lax (1915-2000) who is widely praised for his artistic concept of reduction, in which a pause becomes as important as the things said. The album brings together the sound of Robert Lax reading his poetry, narrative field recordings by Nicolas Humbert and subtle yet imaginative timbres by Carina Khorkhordina (trumpet) and Miki Yui (electronics) who is also behind the final mixing of the album.
Living in th…

O Despertar Do Funâmbulo
2000 release ** "We are not dealing with examples of crushed language; he does not need to start from language, he does not need to. In this sense, we can say that he amplifies some intuitions already had by Hugo Ball or Raoul Hausmann, at the beginning of the century: the potential is oral. And, in fact, Américo Rodrigues shows the muscles of the mouth, all the noises that the oral apparatus can make. It is the body itself that speaks its primitive language, in a pre-Babelian situation, where e…

Radio Free Alcatraz
2012 release ** Unique hand-made covers. "Fritz Welch approaches his urge to express from many angles, regularly melding drawing, sculpture, text, sound and performance into site-specific installations that lurch at our craven consumerism and the casually accepted madness of the mundane. Texan roots via a long-time residence in Brooklyn spread to his current home of Glasgow, and as well as being exhibited across the US and Europe following his debut in New York’s A/C Project Room, you’ve probab…
In Zebulon
In the early-to-mid aughts, in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, Zebulon Café Concert was the epicenter of creative music of all stripes and flavors. Proprietors Guillaume Blestel and brothers Jef and Joce Soubiran passionately created and curated a space where musicians and the music could fully blossom unfettered by norms and conventions. Zebulon was also the preferred haunt of legendary artist, poet and filmmaker Jonas Mekas who had recently moved back into the neighborhood after lea…
The Sea
*100 copies limited edition* The Sea is a fine example of a beautiful exchange between composer and performer, with Francisco del Pino’s precise and rhythmically intricate compositions brought vividly to life by Charlotte Mundy’s clear, subtly emotive and powerful voice. Despite having unmistakable reference points in early polyphony, The Sea employs harmonies, rhythms, and articulations that reach out gently but firmly. The repetition of syllables in “Material” brings out the thrill of small ch…
