Dave Phillips + R.H.Y.
Yau "Illusion
Is A Natural Condition" CD "In the sense of a therapeutic exposition,
testing limitations, reactions of the psyche and of the body, of the realities
and the senses, relating to direct social and behavioural environments and surroundings,
of mankind and its un/doings. I nstinctive, animalistic and emotional sides
of existence, in search of an origin, not as much as a reduction but in the
sense of a release from the omnipresent infatuation and swoon of the idiots
and assholes and their reduction of being that debase dignity. Illusion is a
natural condition.
Dave Philips + R.H.Y. Yau
presents “Illusion Is A Natural Condition" , the long anticipated
Phillips + Yau collaborations culled between 2000–2005. D ave Phillips
began his musical career when he was 17, co-founding the hardcore extremists
Fear of God in 1987. As Fear of God developed Phillips began to see that their
faster, shorter, noisier approaches to grindcore were merely a springboard for
more psychologically challenging and physically demanding artforms. Soon after
Fear of God’s demise in 1989, he joined the actionist Schimpfluch-Gruppe
which has followed the traditions of abjection and transgression as dictated
by the Viennese Aktionists. Phillips has further developed these transgressions
along with sociopolitical actionism in his solo efforts. R .H.Y. Yau is a curator
and sound artist who has been active in the sonic arts since 1993. Yau’s
sonic works are inspired by sound poetry, actionism, and the processes of musique
concrete. But bored by the musique concrete’s academic cliques, Yau creates
what he calls “action-concrete.” These organic synapses of voice,
body, and raw materiality are then combined with raw electronics to sound experiences
of both ultra-violence and absolute absurdity at its most base level.
This release features ten
lithographic reproductions of original drawings by Leif Elggren. Limited edition
of 1000." (Auscultare/Ground Fault) $12.00 Add

Michael Gendreau
"Vitoj"
CD "Long-time San Francisco based
sound artist, internationally known from his extensive discography as Crawling
With Tarts, releases his second full- length solo work titled Vitoj.Continuing
his microscopic exploration of dense sonic landscapes within volatile stases,
Gendreau eavesdrops on pressurized states of compressed gas within hydrogen
tanks, diaphanous vinyl recordings of archaic voices, and perilous work environments
in the far east.All explored in real-time, this series of recordings further
explore the volatile balance of Gendreau's physical and psychological states‹scientific
detritus working as an acoustician and social/cultural detritus in everyday
nomadic life‹reaching the threshold of exhaustion where his realizations
are discovered in modes of "half-sleep." Vitoj offers a glimpse of
these stases in dreamlike form. (Auscultare/Ground Fault) $10.00 Add

Zbigniew Karkowski/Antimatter
"KHZ" CD
"The second collaboration by Karkowski and Xopher Davidson (Antimatter)
is a masterful work that rewards any patient listener with slowly unfolding
layers of analog hum and buzz. The CD consists of one 45 minute piece, and this
format suits the work well, as this kind of piece needs to develop slowly over
a long period of time. The first 13 minutes are calm, and consist of low end
rumbling and quiet high-pitched tones. This sort of restraint has often been
a prelude to a blizzard of harsh noise in Karkowski's past work. kHz is successful
because it develops in a gradual manner, rather than simply being an exercise
in quiet/loud interplay. This calm atmosphere eventually gives way to rapid
clicking, analog patterns which hover at a moderate volume, and help the piece
achieve a sense of movement. By 24 minutes these hums and buzzes have become
a much louder chorus of shifting electronic pulses that are a massive payoff.
The next four minutes are an excellent study of the interplay between this all-enveloping
drone and some subtle, high-pitched staccato rhythms. The arrival of a brief
noisy section towards the end is barely noticeable due to the gradual accumulation
of intensity that characterizes the flow of the piece. Karkowski benefits greatly
from this collaboration, as it seems to encourage his (relatively) subdued side.
It is to their credit that the pair have restricted the length of this piece
to 45 minutes, resisting the temptation to fill the CD to its capacity. While
too many abstract sound artists explore only one end of the sonic spectrum,
Karkowski and Davidson have succeeded in producing a work that focuses on the
way these elements can work together. It is uncertain what relevance the only
sleevenote, "rebounding=junk of life" -R. Selavy, has to the sounds
contained within, but any alliance with Marcel Duchamp's feminine alter-ego
is a gesture to be applauded." - Jim Siegel, Brainwashed (Auscultare/Ground

Joe Colley
"Desperate
Attempts at Beauty: Conceptual and Research Exercises"
CD "Desperate Attempts at Beauty: Conceptual and Research Excercises"
A long awaited full-length solo from Joe Colley (Crawl Unit). This ambitious
project documents sonic phenomena discoveries both mental and physical, with
or without alteration. Also features a gathering of text that is, simply put:
pure nihilism. The sound piece was sampled and composed from organic phenomena
and artificial electronic noises. The uneasy coexistence of cracking ice, disintegrating
clay and unstable systems of combined electronic devices 'could be seen as a
manifestation of the schizophrenia that is crucial to the survival of the modern
individual'. Desperate Attempts at Beauty was recently awarded the Transmediale
2005 award in Berlin. (Auscultare/Ground Fault) $12.00 Add

R.H.Y. Yau "Coagulation:
Selected Works 1996-2000 " CD "Completely
brutal docomentation of Yau's abject noise actionism completed between 1996
and 2000. As pure as it gets, this collection features rare compilation material
and previously unreleased actions, including rare collaboration tracks with
Kazumoto Endo."
"Eighteen short, painful
blasts of vocal-induced distortion that are easily on the same pain threshold
as Merzbow's wall-of-noise works, but without the time commitment Merzbow demands.
Coagulation is like a stripped-down Hollowing album, with the same infinite
layers of sound mashed together to create chaos (and sometimes all run through
a distortion pedal to create thick, blistering walls of static), but without
the melodic elements. The main source of Yau's recordings is voice, and for
all we can tell there's nothing here BUT voice, just pounded and processed into
something unrecognizable most of the time." Robert Beveridge (Auscultare/Ground

H.Y. Yau Edit for Unconsciousness
CD "The dark, black and white case denies the variety of activity going
on here. But 'Edit..' has this vast display of modes that affect the senses
like a blindfolded ride through a blacked-out city. Delightful tension and fleeting
sonic spectacle are the main experiences here. Four basic tracks encapsulate
four different pieces, each with several worlds inside of itself. Yau's 'Realia'
is a restless collection of nervous mechanical and organic noises, culminating
in a sudden blotch of noise cut off as with a meat-cleaver. Then the 'Headworms'
track by Arford meanders in and tinkles around with various objects, collaged
utterances from the throat of incidental electronics, the cluttered spiritual
clumsiness of messing-about with quiet sonics. But 'Drift Counter' is very nice,
a twenty-three minute float through the drifting ranges of warm static and fuzzy
mist, undulating and singing, a full experience that leads you into Yau's closing
piece of roughly the same length. I'll leave that one for your experience. Excellent
material. Try Yau's 'Hidden Tongue' disc too and witness some unique work going
on over there on the left coast." Manifold Records (Auscultare/Ground

Lionel Marchetti
"Sirrus"
CD "When it comes to appreciating electro-acoustic music, there is
a lot of subjectivity involved. One's responses to such and such sounds and
ambiences can vary greatly from one pair of ears to another. Yet, some consensus
can be reached in the case of particularly gifted composers. Lionel Marchetti
belongs to this category. Without following straight cinematic sequences ('cinema
for the ear' having become a much overused expression by 2001), his works hold
a dramatic charge, a narrative tension that grabs the listener's attention and
won't let go. Piggy-backing on the composer's busy release schedule in 2001
(with three new albums out by August), the label Auscultare unearthed Sirrus,
a suite in three movements created in 1989-1990. It is pure electro-acoustic
music, the academic kind, although it shows a vivacity, richness in imagery,
and creativity superior to many composers in the field, young or old. The pieces
are accompanied by Hermetic texts by Olivier Capparos (in French and English)
describing the Circle, the Fire, the Mud, and the Sky Principles. How they relate
to the music remains uncertain, but the symbolism they delve in finds echoes
in Marchetti's music. 'Micro-Climat' is the best piece: well-paced, with surprising
twists and turns but still very coherent. 'Passerelle' is also strong and includes
an unexpected synthesizer solo toward the end (Keith Emerson having something
to prove). The title track lacks some organization. Ideas tumble over one another
without indicating a clear direction or intention. This one also has some nice
monophonic analog synth (unless it is a theremin?) and gradually moves away
from real-world sound sources to become purely electronic. One detects the eagerness
and, at times, lack of focus frequent in early compositions, but Marchetti is
a top-rate composer. Even his slightly flawed works are worth checking out."

with photos and drawings, many of which will be published for the first time.
Includes articles and contributions by Daniela Cascella, Leif Elggren, Cosey
Fanni-Tutti, Carl Michael von Hausswolff, Mike Kelley, Brandon LaBelle, Paul
McCarthy, Tom Recchion, Takuya Sakaguchi and Giuliana Stefani. Also includes
a CD of Duncan's audio work, with tracks that highlight each location as well
as testify to the overall development of his music.
Over the last 25 years John
Duncan has defined himself as an artist through unceasingly engaging and often
challenging projects. From his days in Los Angeles working within the performance
cultures of the late-70s, to periods spent in Japan and Amsterdam working with
experimental sound, film, and radio, to his current residence in Italy, Duncan's
practice has matured into multi-media installations and performances. Investigative
and probing, the artist's works have been continually at the forefront of experimental
cultures gravitating around noise music, and lend greatly to defining in what
way sound may speak toward extreme physical experience while rendering often
surprisingly beautiful depictions. As the contributions to this monograph testify,
Duncan's art has the ability to enthral and terrify. Spanning his career, John
Duncan documents many important projects, seeking to represent through a critical
and intimate portrait of the artist his uncompromising work." Errant

"African Feedback"
BOOK/CD Back in stock! "Through a process of listening and speaking, African
Feedback documents an exchange between artist Alessandro Bosetti and residents
of villages throughout West Africa. Playing music by various experimental and
avant-garde composers to people met in villages, Bosetti records their responses,
asking them what they are hearing, and how they relate to the music and sounds.
Composing their responses, with field recordings made throughout his travels,
African Feedback is a musical portrait of cultural translations, misunderstandings,
different voices and languages. Including an audio CD and the transcriptions
of the listening sessions, along with an introduction by the artist, African
Feedback is a beautiful and beguiling work cutting across the ongoing questions
of cultural difference.
Alessandro Bosetti was born in Milan, Italy in 1973. He is a composer and sound
artist working on the musicality of spoken words and unusual aspects of spoken
communication, producing text-sound compositions featured in live performances,
radio broadcastings and published recordings. In his work he moves across the
line between sound anthropology and composition, often including translation
and misunderstanding in the creative process. Field research and interviews
build the basis for abstract compositions, along with electro-acoustic and acoustic
collages, relational strategies, trained and untrained instrumental practices,
vocal explorations and digital manipulations" melgun.net (Errant

"Radio Territories" Book + CD The latest in the ongoing collaborative
releases between Errant Bodies and Ground Fault. This new title is part of the
Anthology Series. "The legacy of radio and the arts has spawned forms of
radical culture, from early Modernist notions of the “Wireless Imagination”
and its subsequent vernacular tongues to Acoustic Ecology’s call for “Radical
Radio” based on removing the DJ, transmission and broadcast media upsets
and redistributes understandings of place, corporeality, social exchange, and
the politics of information. Such instances of radicality find their current
expression in radio networking and streaming, which seek to counter or supplement
forms of public broadcasting through creating unique forms of collectivity.
In response to these current initiatives, Radio Territories seeks to open the
book on radio’s historical, medial, and aesthetical status.
Critical and creative essays
by historians, media theorists, and radio producers, including Steve Goodman,
Heidi Grundmann, Douglas Kahn, Mikkel Bolt Rasmussen, and Ellen Waterman, are
coupled with artistic and activist projects, from such practitioners as Anna
Friz, LIGNA, and apo33, with a view toward locating the expanding and deepening
reach of radio. Presupposing an intrinsic relation between transmission and
place, Radio Territories aims to examine in what ways physical and cultural
geographies become both defined and unsettled by the powers of broadcast. While
radio through the Modern period stitched together an electronic network by expanding
outward, current radio may fulfill Marshall McLuhan’s global idea of the
“extended nervous system” by networking individual lives on a cellular
level. Radio is not only out there in the ether, but also totally inside, as
signals that intensify the stratifications of culture.

Sutcliffe Jugend "This
Is The Truth" CD The first new recordings from Sutcliffe Jugend in
over 8 years. Sutcliffe Jugend began in 1982 as a sub-project from the main
extreme band, Whitehouse, and instantly gained notoriety as one of the harshest
exponents of the original power electronics scene in the world. After releasing
the monumental 10xCS boxset "We Spit On Their Graves" on Come Organisation
in 1982, Sutcliffe Jugend released a handful of albums until 1999. A single
7" was released in 2001 and they weren't heard from again since 2006 when
they played their first ever live show. Four shows were performed in 2006 and
work on a new studio album was soon underway. One of the most extreme, influential
and mysterious bands of the early 80s were back almost 25 years later.
Recorded and mixed during
the latter half of 2006, Kevin Tomkins returns to vocals for the first time
since "The Victim As Beauty". While this album is a continuation of
all before, it feels like a new beginning for them, for the first time Kevin
and Paul have started to experiment with the Sutcliffe Jugend sound. Lyrically
things have also moved on a great deal, with a more personal aspect to the songs
than ever before.(Ground Fault/Hospital Productions) $12.00 Add

"Death Travels Backwards" DVD "Cataloguing a collection of
works from 1999 to the present, Death Travels Backwards delivers an important
overview of the artist's pursuit of the hidden secrets and spectral enigmas
found within the everyday. What marks Elggren's video works is an understanding
of how image and sound work together to infuse the electronic material with
an element of the uncanny, and to supply the imagination of the viewer with
a glimpse onto infinity.Active since the late 1970s, Leif Elggren is one of
the most constantly surprising and mysterious conceptual artists to work in
the combined fields of audio and video. A writer, visual artist, stage performer
and composer, he has numerous audio releases to his credit, working individually
and also with the Sons of God (along with Kent Tankred). His music, often conceived
as the soundtrack to visual installations or experimental stage performances,
presents carefully selected sound sources over a long stretch of time and can
range from mesmerizingly quiet electronics to harsh noise. His wide-ranging
and investigative body of work consistently involves dreams and mysterious narratives,
often inverting social hierarchies to ultimately subvert the real with poetical
matter." label description (Errant Bodies) $19.00 Add

Vertonen "We
Had a Few Sprinkles Today, But Not Enough to Help Out In the Garden." CD
"After almost two years of work I am excited, nay, elated, to announce
the release of the fifth full-length Vertonen CD, "We had a few sprinkles
today, but not enough to help out in the garden." These recordings are
the fruit of a two-year process of extracting and modifying material originally

Kevin Drumm "Imperial
Horizon" CD "Imperial Horizon by Kevin Drumm is a further examination
into sustained tone as most recently heard on his previous Hospital Productions
benchmark album, Imperial Distortion, stretching out minimalism to unreached
heights of serene ambient.lulling electronic drones slowly transform over the
course of the hour plus piece in constant flux,echoing both an existential terror
and Zen calm. mutations grow so quietly only the body opens to identify this
change while the mind closes. the ephemeral and seeming lightness of the tones
hang with taut balance in contrast to the method in which they are overlapped
and rotated with deadly weight. How wildly divergent emotions rise, hover, and
fall using so little is a mystery that only Kevin Drumm can provide. While you
may not find an answer, you can certainly get lost in the question." press

Malachi + The Bastard
Noise "The Immortals" CD "This split marks a dedicated
continuation of excellence in delivery and concept from Milwaukee's Malachi
as well as a change in direction for The Bastard Noise. Malachi surrounds with
two uncompromising orchestral compositions that are both stunning in thier appeal.
The Bastard NOise line up is joined by a debut of L. Rauf and it delivers two
altoghether delicate compositions that seems an attempt at describing nature
on a universal scale with the vast distances between objects only traversed
by light itself; a glittering of long-since moribund stars from eons before
it was seen by man. Both units strive for the epic in their own manner."

Aaron Dilloway "Chain
Shot" CD 'With only tape loops, metal, and horns (and sometimes, it
seems, metal on horns) the two side long pieces, 'Chain Shot' and 'Execution
Dock' respectively, explore the ugly underbelly of noise before just scraping
right through and aiming for the insides. In a genre that has quickly turned
into a broad and often inaccurate description of a certain breed of every-man
experimental music, Dilloway sticks to the old-fashioned definition of noise,
doing battle with the materials in front of him as he continues the construction
of his impressive body of work.
Dilloway, a former member
of noise-titans Wolf Eyes, has recently been releasing solo work that explores
much more abstract and thoughtful terrain than his previous group's onslaughts.
'Chain Shot' is more a sound collage than anything, and while it is a heaping
glob of muddled debris, it is also a highly controlled one. Looping samples
on top of samples, Dilloway builds a slowly encroaching beast before slowly
disintegrating it, bone by bone. This is some highly textural and immediately
emotive soundscape work." label description This is a reissue of the LP

from John Duncan's periods of work in Los Angeles, Tokyo, Amsterdam and Scrutto
di San Leonardo, Italy. Descriptions of Duncan's most significant events, illustrated
with photos and drawings, many of which will be published for the first time.
Includes articles and contributions by Daniela Cascella, Leif Elggren, Cosey
Fanni-Tutti, Carl Michael von Hausswolff, Mike Kelley, Brandon LaBelle, Paul
McCarthy, Tom Recchion, Takuya Sakaguchi and Giuliana Stefani. Also includes
a CD of Duncan's audio work, with tracks that highlight each location as well
as testify to the overall development of his music.
Over the last 25 years John
Duncan has defined himself as an artist through unceasingly engaging and often
challenging projects. From his days in Los Angeles working within the performance
cultures of the late-70s, to periods spent in Japan and Amsterdam working with
experimental sound, film, and radio, to his current residence in Italy, Duncan's
practice has matured into multi-media installations and performances. Investigative
and probing, the artist's works have been continually at the forefront of experimental
cultures gravitating around noise music, and lend greatly to defining in what
way sound may speak toward extreme physical experience while rendering often
surprisingly beautiful depictions. As the contributions to this monograph testify,
Duncan's art has the ability to enthral and terrify. Spanning his career, John
Duncan documents many important projects, seeking to represent through a critical
and intimate portrait of the artist his uncompromising work." Errant

noise and dub terror psychedelia, establishing themselves as the trailblazers
of a genre and pioneers of the long-form noise tour. coming forth from the piles
of tape loops and effects the bulk of tables reeling with electronics have been
shed. This clarity never sacrifices intensity as paradoxically this is the most
organic of the full lengths but also the harshest and most dissonant. Opening
track “Cellar” immediately sets the pace of barraged edits and percussive
electronics as startling vocals spit from the dry throat and remain unfiltered
for the first time breathing a clear litany of scorn. a new voice is rising
and it isn't happy. throughout the album non-electronic beats created from live
drums replace programming while colliding tape loops and junk metal bring new
unstable rhythm like a house with erroding foundation. “Living Stone”
shows a more natural state of acoustic composition highlighting the despondent
subtle plucking of controlled guitar improvisation that could come from natures
ghost. forging ahead in “We All Hate You” loud tonal horns and architectuarly
placed electronics. however their aesthetic core of pummeling hasn't been abandoned
as the aggressive “Broken Order” takes hold with shrill feedback fueling
industrial cannon blasts of white hot noise that burn the body from the neck
down. an eerie harmonica driven death march straight out of "once upon
a time in the west" cries on the closing track 'droll/cut the dog' Immediately
it is clear that Wolf Eyes have crafted a statement with maturity that stands
at the top of their mysterious discography. Always Wrong is a denial against
conformity and the triumph of walking a path alone. Young, Olson, Connelly.

developed its own brand of genre defying electronic music, without ever betraying
its dark roots. Love and pornography, Industrial music and traditionalism, poetry

"Circle Snare"
CD "Consider "Circle Snare" a hard-wrought souvenir. Composed
and realized in the midst of a comprehensive Scandinavian/European tour in 2008,
John Wiese found himself tangled deep in dialogue with his instruments and ideas.
Wiese increasingly scrutinized his native tongue and vocabulary, seeking new
forms of grammar and cadence, as only extensive dives in unfamiliar waters can
inspire. His given electronic anatomy of drum machine, microphones, tapes, and
MSP folded out of their hard accustomed formations, breaking out into a more
cogent and vital arsenal. "Circle Snare" is the cumulative result
-- a finely detailed and dimensional evolution of an already unique voice. Those
who have been stalking Wiese all along -- through the landmark statement "Soft
Punk," to the recent "Dramatic Accessories" LP -- will find "Circle
Snare" to be a revelatory work. As Wiese continues to travel and work relentlessly
and restlessly, we have no choice but to keep up; the circle is a spiral from
the side, and the greatest trap is standing still." (No Fun) $12.00 Add

a series of surround-sound concerts in Melbourne and Brisbane. Their aim was
to formulate a set of responses that addressed the specific spatial and acoustic
dynamics comprising each site of presentation through improvised exchanges,
microphones and electronics, and multi-channel diffusion. The trio resumed their
investigations between April and June 2007 through a series of concerts in France,
Germany and the Czech Republic, which were used to interrogate form, space and
time using a revised set of strategies around location sound, amplification,
diffusion, and real-time processing within improvised exchanges. Their intention
was to explore the interplay between sonic articulation and spatial intervention
to afford alternating states of awareness between musical and non-musical sound

was recorded in a forest near the italian village of topolò, not far
the slovenien border, during the "pushing the medium 3" symposium
in october 2006. All sounds from "revenant : topolò" originated
from materials found in-situ, or from the space itself. No overdubbing or editing
was done in order to document this specific action and location in time.
Huge pines, chestnuts, beeches,
and a few oaks. A vague border. On one side a Slovenian village, on the other
an Italian one, which our maps locate at the end of a cul de sac. En route for
this slovenian village, on this ageless path, having begun in the village of
Topolò, bags full of bits and pieces: a few biscuits, a recorder, some
chocolate, several worn out old violin bows. The path becomes ever steeper and
more tortuous, sometimes blocked by fallen logs, sometimes aided by stone steps
barely showing. The trees try to tempt us off the path; then one or two of us
give in to the call of a huge pine standing proudly to one side. With the first
light touch the tree speaks: a strangled sound pierced through by a note both
muffled and sharp, a pluck of another twig, a bowing of a third, a held frequency,
a slight pressure on another until it breaks. Each dried branch of this sound-tree
gives rise to stammers, murmurs, cries or whispers, linguistic trial… (from

itself. Although entirely acoustic, this music is powerful, the different-sized
bowls being generators of distinct waves operating in the range of frequencies
from infra- to ultrasonic. Because of their superimposition and the acoustics
of the space they are in, chimeras or interferences are born. A musical event

(Robin Storey, ex-Zoviet France) is woven perfectly with the light, introspective
drifts of Birds Of Tin. “Monomyth” manages to sound both tribal and
futuristic all at once. A flight over haunted, surreal byways, drifting ambient
landscapes, the joining point of all spiritual elements and ideas. This record
is what all collaborations try to achieve: the best techniques of two artists,
melded into something beyond either." label description (Manifold) $9.00

Lull "Collected"
CD "The ultimate in drift and darkness! A collection of rare and unreleased

Quoit, ex-Napalm Death). Tracking the work from the very first track Lull created;
'Hung' to the haunting nineteen-minute 'Closed In', previously found only on
vinyl. Seven works of sublime uneasiness that surround the listener, filling
the room with a restful sort of darkness. Includes unreleased material."

all lyrics from every track and an explanation of the origin of each song. If
you are going to own one DEATHPILE CD - this is it. "Final Confession"

Merzbow
"Dead Leaves" CD ""Dead leaves" from Merzbow consists
of three lengthy pieces titled I - III. From zero the listener approximately
gets twenty seconds of adjustment before the first attack of apocalyptic symphony
drills its way into the brain. Overall the album offers full throttle noise
during the three intersections of the album. Where the first two works are kept
on an almost earaching noise-level the final work is slightly easier listening
to with its low frequency sound levels and the subdued tones pumping from the
ground into the work." vital weekly (Licht-Ung) $10.00 Add

Kapotte Muziek/Richard
Ramirez "Muziek - Mix - Memory" CDr Ltd. 121 copies in
4 panel digipak "Muziek-Mix-Memory" and is a "versus"-album
between Kapotte Muziek and Richard Ramirez. First track is the legendary trio
of Kapotte Muziek, Frans De Waard, Peter Duimelinks and Roel Meelkop manupulating
the source materials of composer Richard Ramirez. The intense work opens fairly
quiet with crackling sounds and field recordings of water. Bursts of noises
attack the relative quietness of the opening, but as the track develops the
noise washes in and after twelve minutes the work transforms into hordes of
harsh noise until the final moments where the tracks dwells back into peace.
Second track is Richard Ramirez' take on Kapotte Muziek. In contrary to the
radical change in expression of Kapotte Muziek's contribution, Radical Ramirez
constantly keeps the mass of noise on a quite high sound levels resulting in
an almost 20 minutes piece of harsh noise/power electronics. During the work
there are moments of slightly easier levels but overall Mr. Ramirez creates
a hard time for the receiving ears." Vital Weekly (Licht-Ung) $9.00 Add

This release summarises
what was initially a 6 hour performance / installation / radio broadcast that
occurred at the TNT cultural centre in Bordeaux, France. The TNT centre is situated
inside a former shoe manufacturing building. With several hundred meters of
cables, the exterior and interior of the building were recorded using several
different condenser and contact microphones, modified and mixed in real time
on a 32 channel mixing desk. Simultaneously, the live mix was played into the
concert hall / space using 8 channels for 8 loudspeakers. While the improvisers
were on the upper level, the audience was listening and walking around on the
lower level." label description (And/Oar) $10.00 Add

Christian Alati / Giuseppe
Ielasi / Ruggero Radaele CD "Sonoris isn't exactely known as an improv
label, but they make an exception here with the work of three Italian improvisers,
which are closely linked to the super improv label Fringes. I didn't glance
very much at the cover very much while playing this CD, so the notion that these
are two guitarists and a percussionist struck me. Whatever they produce, its
hard to pin down as guitar and percussion. They go by a slow curve from almost
silence to almost noisy, with crackles (what sort of guitar produces crackles
like a lap-top, me wonder in mild curiosity). There those recognizable AMM influenced
bits (although their curve is usually even longer) and even a link to industrial
music (the motor like buzz in 'Text Piece'). This makes this into a somewhat
more varied CD, and you could even wonder if the variations aren't too much.
Myself, I thought it was ok and thought it was a well-entertaining CD."

at other times one long curve is drawn, such as in the beautiful opening piece

solo artist and in his frequent collaborations (with Asmus Tietchens, Vidna
Obmana, Jarboe, Hands To) PBK has established a worldwide reputation within
the more extreme spectrum of noisy, post-industrial music. Their careful collaboration

Ashtray Navigations
"End-Of-The-Pier Vault" 7" "Ah, this guy. Fair at
the top of the summit vis. English underground noise/collage aesthetix, Ashtray
Navigations is the solo outfit of young Phil Todd, our man from Leeds. Having
released several of his records I can safely proclaim that this man is a genius
of the kind not found kicking a dustbin around street corners these days. His
work sounds like little sculptures of found sound and objet trouve, kept together
by plaster and tape, all frayedat the edges, warped and buckled under heat,
and then re-shaped into these fantastically alien configurations. Five tracks
on The “End-of-the-Pier” Vault, the first four fly by in about two
minutes, the final track a seven-minute bleeder for overloaded guitars, tape
scraps, altogether an unholy din the likes of which we here at Worlds of Possibility
wholeheartedly approve of. In other words, a real keeper. It might be up there
with his Four Raga Moods and Tristes Tropiques albums, and the split 7”
with Gang Wizard, as his best work. Phil’s output is a whole other world
unto itself, a crazed maze of outsider invention, and if you’ve ever stumbled
across records or tapes by Dogliveroil, A Warm Palindrome, The Hotel Left Accidentally
Unpainted, Inca Eyeball, Dead Man’s Gravel, Jarvis/Joincey/Todd, To Suckle
the Pups, Target Shoppers, Anna Planeta, Blackthorne Stick, or countless others
(really there’s too many), you’ve encountered the Todd-ster. Plus
there’s his on-again, off-again record label Betley Welcomes Careful Drivers.
The guy’s also a totally lovely chap who is almost single–handedly
responsible for getting me into American underground film, so I owe him big-time.

Bastard Noise "Our
Earth's Blood, IV" 5xCD
"First conceived in 1999, and intensively honed over the past four years,
Our Earth’s Blood, IV is finally realized. This is no collection - OEB
IV is a full-length album spanning five discs! Few artists in any genre have
delved to these depths to create such an expansive communication, in such a
deepened language. Bastard Noise, aided by over two
dozen artists from all over the world, have reached a true pinnacle with Our
Earth’s Blood IV. Bastard Noise started alongside its powerviolence personality,
Man Is The Bastard, in 1991. Our Earth’s Blood, the 7” EP released
by Vermiform in 1993, solidified the future of Bastard Noise, rooted in caveman
electronics and venomous vocals by Eric Wood. The Our Earth’s Blood II
10” split with The Locust from 1995 and Our Earth’s Blood III 7”
EP from 1997, are but two more of well over one-hundred releases from this powerhouse.
This new release not only encapsulates the Our Earth’s Blood tradition
of over 15 years, but defines the spirit of caveman electronics that Bastard
Noise created. Our Earth’s Blood IV pulls together “Skull Servants”
in collaboration of sound and fury, including:

As a result of careful composition,
and hundreds of hours spent in the studio, these 24 tracks have both the variety
and cohesion necessary for a truly successful collaborative album. Lyrical content
reveals the wholly unique voice of Eric Wood, and the packaging tastefully presents
all lyrics. Our Earth’s Blood IV defines the overall ethos of Bastard Noise,
serving as a manifesto as much as an epic album, clocking in at nearly 5 hours
long.Our Earth’s Blood IV is housed within a completely custom, die-cut
package. Exterior graphics are printed in alternating matte lamination and spot
gloss to create a unique black-on-black look. The package folds out into a cross-shape,
with each disc housed in its own sleeve on each side of the cross and one in
the center. Careful attention was paid with the design of both the graphics
and the package to ensure that the presentation of this monumental album stacked-up
to its scale and content. The package is identical in width and height to a
jewel case, so it can be stored and displayed in most standard CD racks."

intention," where he determines sonic structure not only through the predetermined
elements which go into a piece, but also through the active process of listening
to the music as it happens and responding accordingly. Aperture opens the possibility
for multiple readings through a series of diverse techniques ranging from additive
synthesis to FM synthesis to sampled-based processes. Each of the pieces within

CD "Challenger is a composed work rather than his more improvised work, each
piece revolving around a central melodic theme with field recordings, an audio
diary bridging the gaps. It's emotions of a period of time set to tape. The sounds
range from pure tonal mood to huge electronic crescendos. But what's most remarkable
is the use of space, where parts come in and drop to build or recede .When the
piano crashes in "Mysteries of the Organ" its almost a frustration of
paradise, a rejection of perfection or maybe a jolt of inexplicable life, unable
to be translated into proper `communication. Juxtaposed with the quiet haunting
of "Hopelessly Devoted" which sounds like a love letter written to outer
space, it makes for an album that is both dynamic yet consistent as a full statement."

I take field recordings from sounds that habitually go unnoticed in the daily
environment (airplanes overhead, trains passing in the night, the broken radiator
at the end of the hall, falling snow), as well as those which are less accessible
for hearing (the abandoned subway tunnels of Toronto, a muffled cab ride through
Guadalajara, contact mics on Jacques Cartier Bridge, etc.). I combine nondescript

Eric
Cordier "Osorezan"
CD "Eric Cordier we may know from his work with the hurdy gurdy or
with improvisers, but to my surprise this new CD contains just field recordings.
The field recordings by Cordier span from 1993 to 2006, and we either made in
Japan or in France. Some of these pieces were 'edited an reorganized', where
as other pieces are presented as is. However, I believe no sound transformation
was used. This is quite detailed recording, and with the useful descriptions
in the booklet it's all easy to follow. The gas filled water of Japan, or the
unloading of cars; the bonfire and the lazy afternoon. It's all there. Perhaps
one could argue that this is hardly music, but I was listening with true fascination
to these sounds. Cut of reality, they become music, simply because Cordier pressed
them on a CD and we listen to it, rather than going out and listen for ourselves
- we could do that later on, if we want to, but it's raining (also a nice sound
event), so I prefer to stay inside and listen again to the Cordier CD. Such
richness captured in such elegant and smooth way: a true treat for the ears."

Emmanuel Mieville &
Eric Cordier "Dispositif: Canal Saint-Martin" CD “Xing-Wu’s
3rd release, Dispositif: Canal Saint-Martin, has well-celebrated French sound
artist/composer, Eric Cordier in collaboration with fellow countryman Emmanuel
Mieville. The frontipiece of this release is the primary track itself, which
was performed live and composed in realtime during a concert at the Centre d’animation
Jemmapes, Paris. Marshalling well over 30 microphones as a sonic capture and
repository of this Parisian cultural site, Cordier and Mieville transform the
space and its environs into an organic vestibule of aurality and sounds. But
perhaps more importantly and exactly, both these artisans of sound were able
to produce and invoke an event for listening — to draw us closer to the
act of listening and also, to portray listening as it relates to everything
else around, culturally and experientially.
Dispositif constitutes part
of, and continues in, a long line of on-site realisations of what Cordier conceptually
regards as a “vernacular device” — a term which was mainly, and
first, used to describe his long-standing but now defunct project, with Eric
La Casa and Jean-Luc Guionnet, called Afflux. Briefly, a vernacular device intersects
and traverses methodologies and approaches commonly associated with the fields
of tape music/electroacoustic, improvisation and field recording or phonography.
In more concrete terms, it is the transposition of the intricacies and complexities
of “Studio” work onto a site specific context in order to unearth
and shape the sonic character of the contextual site itself.
Aside from the primary track
of the live performance, two more tracks complete this release — “dispositions
en rotonde” and “le centre d’animation” which are “remixes”
of the primary piece constructed respectively by Mieville and Cordier.”

Eric Cordier
"Breizhiselad" CD In making "Breizhiselad" Cordier has
tried to rewrite some masterpieces of the traditional music of French Brittany.
Apart a few field recordings all the material on this record originates in extracts
from two songs of the A side of a 10" 1960s reissue of a 78rpm. On first
listening, this record sounded horrible - but also as a work of genius. Horrible
because of the catechism-like vocal arrangements but a work of genius in terms
of the beauty of the melody and the conviction of the singers. Another particularity
is the importance of the disc itself, whose vinyl surface is nearly erased,
polished under a sea of cracks. Eric's project has been to transpose this traditional
music into the tape music medium with a view to preserving what is strong in
the source material and erasing the sugary, churchy treatment of these originally
popular songs.
The source record may be
familiar to older generations as one of the first recordings on which the Breton
language found its place again after decades of persecution and censure. Since
the record became available, these pieces have taken their place in a national
collection that has helped reassess the value of songs and language that were
hitherto considered obsolete by the intelligentsia and the state.
Composed between May and
October 2003 with a sophisticated delay pedal: GSP 2101, a sound processor:

CD "This is the debut CD of a new label from Japan called Prele. It
is a collaboration between Anla Courtis (of Reynols fame) and Kouhei Matsunaga
(the man behind the Flying Swimming label, also from Japan). The disc contains
nine tracks of widely varying lengths and collaboration methods. To name a couple:
remix of the other's material, telepathic collaboration and real collaboration.
Most tracks are of a certain ambient nature, but with enough things going on
to definitely go beyond that (strange cuts, sudden outbursts of seemingly random
noise, etc.). The overall quality is pretty lo-fi, which is very good, because
it is combined with very typical computer sounds. This works very well and adds
a warm quality to the sound. For me the most interesting piece is actually the
longest one: the telepathic collaboration. Somehow Courtis and Matsunaga seem
very well in tune and have created a very good track with so many kilometers
between them. Somehow this track is almost a condensation of the whole CD. It
will be interesting to see what the Prele label has to offer in the future."

dense. Layered sounds with a drone like character, which can grow into noise
(but it never reaches the peak of noise). Although some of the tracks remind
me of laptop like cracklings and even a rhythm, such as 'Little Odyssey', Dailleau
never gets out of control and structure of the music remains important. The
drone like character remains his important thing. Therefore this is an utmost
enjoyable CD if you like the work of Asmus Tietchens, Troum but also Mego. Not
the least names to be compared with. Great stuff indeed." FdW / Vital

role. He strums a string, waits, strums the same and waits again. The space
in which he plays becomes an important factor. Drumm is kinda similar, but he's
responsible for the electronic part, so he fills his guitar strums, with occasional
feedback, crackles and glitches. Yet, Drumm is a controller, so he never lets
things out of control. Listening to these 41 minutes you feel the air of the
Gallery where this was recorded, so much silent interludes, delicate strumming,
isolated cracks and more silence. If you try listening superficially, then the

CD "'zygosis', which is his first fulltime recording, starts with a
witty beat track mixing high-pitched shakespeare monologues over syncopated
jazz loops, and quickly convinces you that the deconstruction of stolen sound
material (sourced from cabaret, orchestral music, rock, poetry...) may grow
into something utterly personal and unique - most extraordinary examples are
tracks 3, 4 & 6. after this tour-de-force, the listener is allowed a short
break, while the cd-player skipps through the almost empty regions of track
9 - 22 (microscopic shards of static, lasting only for a few seconds each).
those are quickly followed by a very powerful and dramatic piece (agora) that
bears an almost recognizable song structure. the cd ends rather quietly with
three unsymetrical ambient pieces followed by a short and funny epilogue. there's
nothing more to add, except that 'zygosis' is probably one of the most brilliant
achievements in musical 'piratage' so far, and first of all - regardless to
it's historical relevance - it's simply beautyful!" http606 (Sonoris)

'Percussion' as Percussion" CD "Situated halfway between squall
of The Velvet Underground's Sister Ray and the crash of the Twin Towers collapsing,
Jarrod Fowler's 'Percussion' As Percussion upon first listening is nothing short
of ear-shattering; just when you thought the genre of noise had been pushed
as far as it could, Fowler turns the volume up to 11. However, a closer listen
reveals a subtle tonal symphony of dense textures and colors, weaving fragments
of shattered guitar chords, spoken word, and pop-song choruses into an audio
equivalent of a Pollock painting. The end result is nothing short of a body
shock, yet oddly one is left with the feeling of serenity and contemplation:
this is an indisputably beautiful piece of music. Taking his cue from Eastern
philosophy, where music acts to liberate both body and mind, Jarrod Fowler might
be the La Monte Young of the iPod generation." — Kenneth Goldsmith

Gum "Vinyl
Anthology" 2xCD "Philip Jeck. Janek Schaeffer. Otomo Yoshihide.
Thomas Brinkman. Saule. These have been some of the recent crop of avant-turntablists
whose praises we've sung in the recent past; yet the use of the turntable with
experimental music is nothing as novel as the current infatuation would indicate.
Turntablism could be traced back to John Cage's Imaginary Landscape (1939),
but perhaps a better historical jumping off point for those artists' delirious
collage work would be with the early work of Christian Marclay and Non, who
both reconfigured the noise and disembodied cultural reference from skipping
records in the late '70s. It was that environment of Industrial culture that
spawned Gum -- the Australian avant-turntablist duo which began quite literally
with a skipping Brian Eno record. While Gum's Andrew Curtis and Philip Samartzis
shared a common interest in Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire, and Whitehouse,
their work centered upon the volatility of surface noise from cheap turntables
that they rescued from thrift stores and junk shops. At the same time, Gum balanced
their destructive pursuit of tumultuous noise and electrically charged static
with a clinical disembodiment. Even when disco-grooves from the Bee-Gees or
porno climaxes get mangled in their Frankensteinian aggregates of loops and
layers, it's hardly funky or sexy... rather a wonderfully disturbing mess. Having
only a couple of singles on RRR and Korm Plastics as well as two self-released
LPs, Gum had remained a secret history within the prolific oeuvre of Australian
sound art; and now, thanks to this Vinyl Anthology compendium which features
the bulk of their recorded works, the ecstatic expressionism of Gum can now
be rediscovered for what it really is: precocious genius." (23five) $19.00

CM von Hausswolff "The
wonderful world of Male Intuition" CD "With a lengthy career of
melding earnest inquisitiveness and absurdist black humour through metonymic
leaps of logic, CM von Hausswolff delves into the first of two releases dedicated
the prospects of male intuition. As with most all of his conceptualized works,
Hausswolff strives to short-circuit any linear thought process when executing
the work at hand; hence an album about intuition is anything but convoluted.
So the logic may go for Hausswolff: if all matter is a really a vibration, what
better way to communicate than through the modulation of pure frequencies? If
technology is really an aid to our ability to perceive the world around us,
what better way to increase that perception by forcing technology to interact
with those pure frequencies? Hence, Hausswolff's intuition arrives at a system
of running shortwave radio and cassette recordings of the human voice through
sinewave oscillators as the best means of articulating what intuition has to
say for itself. The grand comedy of this album is that the voices of the Dalai
Lama, Alvin Lucier, and Albert Hofmann are mangled into an unrecognizable muffle
amidst a clinical mosaic of fluctuating electricity. Through his inimitable
deadpan delivery, Hausswolff presents yet another brilliant conundrum for us
to figure out through our own powers of intuition. Good luck." Jim Haynes,

M. Holterbach
"Aare Am Marzilibad"
3" CD Manu Holterbach is a young French sound artist who proposes his many-faceted
talents since already more than 10 years. He invents new instruments, spatialization
devices and mutant loudspeakers that were showed around the world in diverse
installations and performances, in solo or in collaboration with a.o. Sophie
Durand, Pierre Berthet, Jean-François Laporte, David Maranha. He is currently
working on a biography of the French composer Eliane Radigue. Manu also composes
pieces realized with natural and industrial environmental sound recordings,
like the one we proudly propose on erewhon, Aare am Marzilibad.
This piece realized in 2003
is a ready-made recording of a Swiss choppy river, the Aare, done with a microphone
hermetically locked into a bottle. What you can hear is the sound of thousands
of pebbles that knock together in the powerful stream. It illustrates perfectly
Manu's focus on microscopic events and fragility. Interestingly, the claustrophobic
atmosphere that results in the inevitable filtering of the glass bottle may
somehow remind you our previous 3"CD "Riss" by Lionel Marchetti.

CD Kozo Inada is a japanese sound artist who has previously released records
on various labels around the world (Staalplaat, Selektion, Digital Narcis, V2).
His last record published is a collaborative work with Philip Samartzis on the
australian label Room40. His music is a balance between austere minimalism and
immense spaces in sound that creates a very strong tension and keeps the listener
captivated from the beginning to the end. For J[], he uses samples and loops
of classical music as sound materials for Max/Msp treatments. The result is
a densely layered and strong sound work, with slow rises and falls, hypnotic
loops and some ruptures that give texture to silence. A sonic journey into aerial
and hypnotic universes." label description (Sonoris) $10.00 Add

shuddering tension. Distorted echoes of mayhem resonate against the hull of
a steel coffin speeding toward certain destruction. Grating, shouted vocals,

2xCD ""Babel" follows the recent and well-received albums "Island
of the Dead" (on Cohort) and "Transmissions" (which we released
last year). It is an extremely dynamic and dense work that could generally be
classified as experimental dark ambient. The theme here is the Tower of Babel
and each disc takes a somewhat different yet complimentary approach: the first
("Red Babylon") is generally a rather heavy and intense recording,
while the second ("Citadel of the Nevermind") is more droney and dream-like.
A profound and monumental journey lasting well over two hours.
'kirchenkampf', the project
of John Gore (Cohort Records, The Oratory of Divine Love, >wirewall<),
has been active since 1986. Since that time he has released numerous recordings
on his own and other labels. Additionally, John has collaborated with a number
of others, including Steve Hall (Yen Pox), C. Reider, and Brett Smith (Caul).

These two tracks were recorded at a construction site, the future home of an

composition as the performances on cello and violin. A large fan whirrs throughout,

Guionnet "Inscape
- Lille-Flandres" CD “Inscape is, for us, a sort of umbrella name,
bringing together various ideas and projects based in and around the real-time
capture of audio/visual material. Although comparable with techniques used in
the audiovisual surveillance of a specific site, surveillance itself isn't the
goal of the project. The site, the place, the environment are heard for what
they are, without the prior discrimination of considered attention. A sonic
form is inferred, or formed, from the constituent parts, in order to bring about
a musicality that is unpredictable yet controlled. This technical approach can
be adapted to all types of places, without limit and regardless of the resources
that might be available. The set-up itself is a primary consideration of the
project since everything is conceived in situ. Nothing is decided beforehand
even if Inscape's broad principles can be set out, reasonably straightforwardly,
as 'a system for the surveillance of a site based on available audio and visual
resources (microphones, contact mics, cameras etc…). On site, to create
an installation or a concert, the setting will be developed during few days
(from 2 to 5 days). The extent of the interface will be function of this site
specific device, the technical support, etc… Whether in a concert or installation
context, Inscape create, in an hour or over the course of a number of weeks,
audiovisual projects which link the inherent properties of a specific place
with the producers' aesthetic concerns. INSCAPE = “everything in real time

"Soundmatters" CD "Soundmatters is the first major
compendium of the recordings from French-Canadian sound artist Jean-Francois
Laporte, including his highly acclaimed composition Mantra. In balancing formal
precision and intuitive expressionism, Soundmatters results in a series of visceral
compositions that build upon the traditions of minimalism, graphical composition,
and phonography. Laporte reveals his colossal talents for experiential composition
through deftly processed recordings of tumultuous windstorms that would make
Chris Watson proud, spiralling drones that he's polished to a Haflerian sheen,
the majestic bellowing of sustained horns in the empty cargo hull of a decommissioned
ship, and of course the metallic growl of his immaculate Mantra. Given the numerous
parallels to Xenakis' smoldering electroacoustics and Tony Conrad's delirious
harmonics, Laporte's work demands the attention as an under recognized genius
in the realm of avant-garde composition." label description (23five) $12.00

Brian Leber "Till"
CD "Brian Leber is a composer based out of Chicago, USA. Alluvial is
proud to present his first widely available work which is entitled “Till”.
“Till” is mostly an amalgam of pieces that appeared in slightly different
form in his own tiny private editions between 2001 and 2004. Leber comes from
a musical background which is more traditional, from a compositional perspective.
However, the style Leber demonstrates here is likely to be one that is familiar
to fans of other Alluvial releases- delicate field recordings, found sounds,
manipulated objects, and scrupulous attention to detail. The execution of his
works is what catches the listener’s ear, and Leber uses no synthesizers
while composing. This is not improvisational music, but rather graphically scored
prior to execution. The pieces have room to breath, expand, and let the listener
set the pace at which to take it all in. The first piece is “Isobar”,
which begins way deep down in the distance until it slowly builds into a rather
massive, dense sound sculpture of howling wind, stones, short wave radio, and
sistrum. The second is “Tracing Stones”, which as its title implies,
is a study of found sounds from stone, field recordings, and is accented by
a dragging, droning cello which suggests some of David Jackman’s work from
the Vacant Lights/Sphyx period. Last, is “Mountains and Rivers” which
combines the sound of manipulated objects and double bass into organic blend
which does not really sound at all as its technical description might imply.
This piece is as delicately composed as some of bernhard g?nter’s early
work, but as lithic and rudimentary as Jeph Jerman. As the title “Till”
suggests, Leber’s work focuses on the organic qualities of sound and the
details that often go overlooked. A very powerful debut." label description

Lionel Marchetti | Jean-Baptiste
Favory "100 000 Années" 2xCD
This is two separate CDs
by two separate artists. For some reason they are released as a double CD.
Kitnabudja Town -
Lionel Marchetti
“Kitnabudja Town is a fascinating and abounding composition, a colossal
encyclopaedia to dissect with patience, an unseen sound collage that revives
with the beloved techniques of the surrealists to reach a kind of automatic
writing, a flux of thinking that is nor music, neither science, philosophy,
neither eastern, nor western, at the same time electronic and shamanic... using
studio techniques that we can discern as archaic, lionel marchetti bends and
pummels his sources until their last death rattle, being not afraid of distractions
and collisions. A dense, visceral and generous work.”
Des Sphères
- Jean-Baptiste Favory
“Comprising seven electronic improvisations, this piece is inspired by
the movement of the seven celestial bodies closest to the earth with the sun
as a central axis. Each planet is represented by two sounds: one concrete, the
other synthetic. The concrete sound is not audible but modulates the synthetic
sound in amplitude and frequency. The result is then processed using several
effects to obtain a sound in constant evolution and partly random. Without seeking
to reproduce an existing astronomic model whitch is taken for reality, the piece
proposes a quasiorganic vision of what in former times was named «The
spheres» wherein the forces were realeased by the movements of celestial
bodies, acted directly on mankind.”

Incandescence de l' Etoile" 3" CD special package "A Musique
Concrête piece based on the everlasting universal (re)cycle. It is it's
own modulator, oscillating at immense speed, almost standing still. The composer
has interpreted and given an auditive representation of these cosmic forces,
melted together in a solid musical gesture , perpetuated on a little disc. Captured
time, but where to next? L'incandescence de l'etoile is a great example of the
fine craftmanship of Marchetti; it's been composed up to it's most delicate
detail, with a great feeling for suspense and time-elapse. As any process, the
piece travels through several stages, to end up at it's beginning again."

"RISS (l'avalanche)" 3" CD "Lionel Marchetti is a
young and brilliant composer of musique concrete, with a growing body of work
released on Metamkine, Selektion and, more recently, Ground Fault and Intransitive.
He also dedicates himself to improvisation, in duo with Jerome Noetinger (manipulating
objects, microphones and loudpeakers), or within ensembles such as Le Cube and
Archipel. 'RISS', with its suggestive subtitle ('l'avalanche'), is a 15 minute
piece of musique concrete produced in 1990, already asserting a very personal
universe and a strong set of themes. A female character attempts to impose her
brittle voice in a landcsape of ice and distress which slowly turns out to be
an extension of her own inner space. A particularly evocative imaginary sound
world, a staggering dramatic tension succeed in making of 'RISS' a powerful
miniature, and definitely confirm the early talent of Lionel Marchetti among
a new generation of composers reinventing musique concrete." - label description.

Lasse Marhaug "Quality
Control" CD "A giant of Scandinavian experimental music, Lasse
Marhaug has been active in sound creation since his teenage years. His interests
have spanned a wide range of styles: from improv jams to film sound, from humorous
collages to crushing harsh noise works. This non-stop activity has resulted
in a massive body of recorded work and numerous live performances all over Tellus.
Besides his solo work he has collaborated with a multitude of fellow sound artists
on stage and in the studio.
In the everflowing stream
of music from Marhaug, Quality Control leans towards the noisiest end of his
output. With an active, hands-on approach to sound making, it rushes forward
to present us with a panoramic view of a mock world inhabited by trash electronics
battling it out on a barren desert field at the end of the known universe. From
short outbursts to extended epics, Marhaug cooks up an explosive brew of storming
feedback and out-rock guitar overload. Quality Control portrays a mature artist

Kouhei
Matsunaga "Complicated

"noise" music, in Japan - Meka of "noise' music, a new age of
artists, naming themselves "post noise", wave is arising. One of them
- Kouhei Matsunaga, well know from his split editions with Merzbow, constructed
an interesting recording named "Complicated high still now?" from
his archive tracks. Album consists of four tracks. Their totality makes an illusion
of deep, sometimes dark, psychedelic mood to the listener. Album starts with
silent and anxious track. The second one consists of prepossessing electronic
loops. At the time of hearing the record the listener undoubtedly can recognise
Japan music school. The third and the fourth tracks, which are the longest,
Kouhei starts to rage over using the best Japan weapon - "noise".
Noise itself is quite aggressive and reminds of roughest Japan "noise"
epoch creations but the construction of the sound is different and characteristic
only to Kouhei. "Complicated high still now?" is undoubtedly Japan
"post noise" music masterpiece. Limited edition 211" -

was a joke, though unfortunately it wasn't. being late at night and no visitors
were allowed anymore we postponed it for next evening in order to get'im some
bananafishes to read and kill time... however a severe snowstorm changed plans,
while he was already connected on the 'holder'

stealing the tape of it (being nothing but a simple tdk d60 recording in ultra

Roel’s tour to Japan in summer 2001 (along with Frans De Waard and Peter

uses primarily rural sound sources from a selected area, ‘onkyo ok’
may strike a special chord and familiarity with anyone who has visited Japan’s
urban areas, cities and outlying regions. Various components of the rich Japanese
soundscape (to name a few: pachinko parlours, train crossings, crows, electrical
machines, people) have been captured, abstracted (or not), blended and re-composed
creating unique sonic snapshots of this beautiful and at times bewildering country.
The sound pieces are relatively constant over time (Roel’s characteristic
silences are at a minimum) containing numerous complimentary sources simultaneously
building together into broadband structures, then falling away to focus on various
seperate objects and events. This album serves as a beautiful document and expression
of the ever-changing Japanese acoustic environment as it was at the beginning

Mem
"It Was A Very Good
Year" CD "The newest Alluvial release is a bit of a departure
from many of our past releases. It is perhaps more in line with our Kuwayama-Kijima
compact disc from earlier this year. Mem is one Kamil Antosiewicz from Warsaw.
Kamil existed in a previous incarnation as one third of the now defunct Polish
trio, EA. Mem’s work typically attempts to link sonic anomalies with electronics.
His most recent interests include the decontextualisation of sound material.
He is currently experimenting with primal structures of non-organic origin,
such as white noise and sine waves, and melding them into sounds of organic
nature. He works mainly with a PC platform. On “It Was A Very Good Year”,
Mem takes source material from perhaps the most popular version of a standard
American classic of the same title from the early 1960’s. Mem uses isolated
sections of string sounds from a big band orchestra and draws them out into
slowly cascading layers. We hear humming, vibrating, drawn out drones that build
very slowly into a massive crescendo of noise that eventually include others
sounds from the orchestra. Many of the sounds are manipulated, but nothing outside
the original recorded version is added. The piece results in a stunningly beautiful
hour with hypnotic qualities that build in giant ebbs and flows. As a point
reference, this is reminiscent of some of the best work from Charlemagne Palestine
and Vidna Obmana. In addition to his work as a composer, Kamil runs the Salvia
Association with Viön, and formerly worked as a music journalist and cyberculture
writer-editor for the first Polish internet magazine titled "WWW".

ALL of the animals skin, bones, fur and meat. Even tho there is killing involved

Daniel Menche "Creatures
of Cadence" CD "Despite what the title might suggest, “Creatures
of Cadence” is not about endings, completion, or finality. Instead we find
Menche inviting a slew of new mediators into his cathartic miasma. The medium
now extends beyond the rich and unfathomable depths of somatic sound. His ongoing
dialogue between body and mind has found sympathetic resonators in a myriad
of instruments (percussion, cello, horns, and zither) that have proven through
the ages of being capable of channeling both our most ecstatic joy and profoundest
grief.
“Creatures of Cadence”
finds Menche in full exploratory mode; excavating well-concealed networks of
sonorous information through a systematic deconstruction of drone and pulse.
In the process, he further erases any perceived division between hearing / feeling
and performer / instrument. The result, if consumed at the appropriate amplitude,
is nothing less than a sixty minute journey through a voluptuous and pristine
mania." Label description (Crouton Music) $15.00 Add

the body (heart, skin, lungs, larynx) and natural field recordings relying on
wind, animals or insects, water, fire, and stones to crude, lo-fi, and primitive
electronics, broken microphones, damaged speakers, antique audio equipment,

Toshiji Mikawa "Gyo-Kai
Elegy" CD "Pioneer, innovator and visionary are words easily associated
with Toshiji Mikawa. One of the prime movers of Japanese noise, he started his
musical activities in the late 1970s and joined the legendary and notorious
Hijokaidan. In 1981 he formed Incapacitants to pursue his interest in pure noise,
in contrast to the more performance art oriented Hijokaidan of that time. Initially
a solo project, later he was joined by Fumio Kosakai to make Incapacitants a
duo that has been widely acknowledged for their extreme sound and intense live
performances.
Gyo-Kai Elegy is the debut
CD release under Mikawa's own name. It grants us a close-up view of his sound
which is normally immersed inside Incapacitants' mighty sound structures. We
get highly detailed, unforgiving electric annihilation, invoking images of imaginary
lifeforms trapped inside cages of silicon crystals. Occasionally the sound expands
into juggernaut drones or floats away into a cavernous space that seems to be
inhabited by morbid bats screaming at piercing sub-ultrasonic frequencies. Once

attempt to represent in sound the inner force of his recently deceased father's

this period remained a mysterious time of legend as it was some years before

creates complex sound environments that are subtle, clear and close. His sounds
seem to emphasize the very silence that surrounds them, creating an infinite

Uva presents one track,
just over 20 minutes in length. Objects in motion, a complex layering of textures,
circular sounds and harmonies that intensify and recede... these are the constituent
parts of this engaging new work.
The term "uva"
means grape, associated with ferment and intoxication, and is also associated
with "ova" (the womb, birth, new forms). Uva thus implies the intoxication

in Austin, Texas with location specific recordings of found objects played by
groups of people.. In the end, it had expanded into a three-year, transcontinental
exchange of intensive interaction, questioning and dialogue. The exploratory
focus of stria/confluence is the idea of resonance; the phenomenon of natural
vibrations that give rise to intensified or stable structures within sound bodies
and fields. In the production of these works, the composers' approached resonance
in both the acoustic sound behavior and the social phenomenon in group interaction
and/or participation within the context of sound generating activities. It was
again applied to the studio in the use of massive multiplications and layerings,
resulting in deeply transforming, evolutionary sound fields. These records extend
the perspective elaborated by both artists through their previous solo and collaborative
work (as can be heard on Seth's releases on Kaon, Alluvial and 20 City, or John's
duet with mnortham on Staalplaat and Orogenetics). These works further an interest
in physical materials and natural acoustics which are consequently composed
into imbedded, altered and engaging structures. Taking form with the integrity
of a living organism, these pieces invite the listener to find his way through
the reticulated and stratified development of a subtly unfolding, organic sound-body.

The New Blockaders/Putrifier
"Schliefmittelbögen"
LP "After a long silence Birthbiter has returned with the sounds of nihilism
reverberating in its ears as the label releases the long anticipated collaboration
between The New Blockaders and Putrefier. Schleifmittelbögen is something
of a return to form for TNB and Putrefier while also offering fresh interpretations
of earlier work such as Changez les Blockuers, Pulp and Salute. Acoustic and
field recordings are used to create unexpected sounds that punctuate the work,
adding a new dimension to the all out sonic assault you have come to expect
from these two artists. The cracking of tiles being extracted from a roof, the
creak of a rusty sewing machine table combined with a variety of natural sounds
will make this a surprise to anyone who thinks there is everything to know about
TNB and Putrefier. TNBs philosophy needs no introduction. Renowned plunderers
of Dadaism, neo-Dadaism and nihilism, they have reinterpreted art/politico theory
and history. Putrefiers approach has been to mix shards of acoustic sound, beat
them up and throw them back into the melting pot. The presence of Luigi Russolos
Intonarumori looms large in both artists work The LP is limited to 500 copies
and comes housed in a full colour sleeve." - label description.

"Love Me Two Times" 2xCD "the highly anticipated double-CD
epic by Jason Lescalleet (tapeloops) and nmperign (Bhob Rainey - soprano sax,
and Greg Kelley - trumpet). The result of six years of live and studio collaboration,
LM2X is by far the most ambitious and uncompromising statement yet by this formidable
trio. The album begins as a more-or-less straight documentary-style recording
of group improvisation, but don’t get too comfortable… over the course
of the next two hours, the ground steadily shifts, the bottom drops out, and
any expectations a listener may have had going in are thoroughly trampled. Join
the group as they visit art galleries, rock clubs, living rooms, at least one
church, and the kitchen of a famous chef, before finally putting a fist through
an amplifier. Fans will find the usual ingredients here: crusty old reel-to-reel
tape decks, cheap keyboards, amplified and acoustic horns…but rude tape
splices, violent humor, and confusingly degraded fidelity push the music far
from safe territory. The visceral drama of LM2X does not neatly spell out its
intentions, nor does it signal exactly what it has up its sleeve. It exists
in its own universe, demands repeat listens and to be taken on its own terms.

Nurse With Wound "The
Musty Odour Of Pierced Rectums" LP "A dirty brown vinyl and a
book bound LP sleeve. In the terpsichorean tradition of traumatizing and titillating
treacalese collector geeks the world over, Beta-lactam presents a limited LP
release by Nurse With Wound. This is a full fledged, full length, full bodied
album of previously unreleased material, and just when you thought it couldn't
get any weirder... It would seem that the musty odour exuded by pierced rectums
is exhilarating; even scintillating. With rounds of disembodied voices, arias
of crackle and rumble, jets of ascendant and descendant sound, bursts of silent,
nurse wounding flak worthy of The Great Cage, well, if my thermometer reads
correctly, "Rectums" is not unlike "Gyllensköld" in
its sonic attacks and rectal decays. I find it especially enlightening with
Ann-Margaret singing in the background on the television, but you will realise
hours of listening pleasure even without the random Ann-Margaret caveat. Honestly
though, Volks, if'n I heard this record and did not know who it was, I would
buy it on the spot because it just happens to be AWESOME, dude. All I'm saying
is that thy ear drum is worth piercing with the "Musty Odour Of Pierced
Rectums," possibly whilst driving around in a Pierce-Arrow reading Pears
Anthony with, of course, a butt plug firmly and resolutely installed."
label description
"The Musty Odor of
Pierced Rectums contains thirteen tracks of never-before-released Nurse With
Wound pieces, similar to 1989's odds-and-sods compilation A Sucked Orange. This
release, although not unified by a single concept or containing a coherent flow
between tracks, once again proves that Steven Stapleton's garbage is way better
than 99% of the crap released by modern experimental musicians. There's a lot
of different kinds of music here, most of it in the darker, more esoteric vein.
Comparisons could be made to Nurse classics such as Large Ladies With Cake in
the Oven and the harsher, more industrial noisescapes on early NWW records.
Most of the tracks are typically absurd mixes of mutated sounds, bizarre samples,
and dislocated audio dementia. Track two reminds me of Pink Floyd's "Several
Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in A Cave and Grooving With
a Pict." Stapleton seems to be experimenting with the "glitch"
a little more these days. At random points, the sounds will unexpectedly stutter
and drop out, leaving gaping holes or "wounds" in the composition.
These thirteen untitled tracks make for a very engaging listen." brainwashed

over and over until it drives you. The mind to the grindstone with nothing ahead
but hours and hours of empty slow time. Two long pieces of grinding, sometimes
turbulent , minimalist drone and industrial from Chris of SICKNESS side project.
The first track takes minimal synth loops (with additional material from James
Keeler of Wilt) that slowly roll and march into a grinder of distortion to be
spit out - angry and venomous. Aggressive but spent. The second track is field
recordings (with additional material from Joe Colley) smashed together and blended
into an atmosphere of empty warehouse sounds and abandonment. Negative and burned.

Yau "Illusion
Is A Natural Condition" CD "In the sense of a therapeutic exposition,
testing limitations, reactions of the psyche and of the body, of the realities
and the senses, relating to direct social and behavioural environments and surroundings,
of mankind and its un/doings. I nstinctive, animalistic and emotional sides
of existence, in search of an origin, not as much as a reduction but in the
sense of a release from the omnipresent infatuation and swoon of the idiots
and assholes and their reduction of being that debase dignity. Illusion is a
natural condition.
Dave Philips + R.H.Y. Yau
presents “Illusion Is A Natural Condition" , the long anticipated
Phillips + Yau collaborations culled between 2000–2005. D ave Phillips
began his musical career when he was 17, co-founding the hardcore extremists
Fear of God in 1987. As Fear of God developed Phillips began to see that their
faster, shorter, noisier approaches to grindcore were merely a springboard for
more psychologically challenging and physically demanding artforms. Soon after
Fear of God’s demise in 1989, he joined the actionist Schimpfluch-Gruppe
which has followed the traditions of abjection and transgression as dictated
by the Viennese Aktionists. Phillips has further developed these transgressions
along with sociopolitical actionism in his solo efforts. R .H.Y. Yau is a curator
and sound artist who has been active in the sonic arts since 1993. Yau’s
sonic works are inspired by sound poetry, actionism, and the processes of musique
concrete. But bored by the musique concrete’s academic cliques, Yau creates
what he calls “action-concrete.” These organic synapses of voice,
body, and raw materiality are then combined with raw electronics to sound experiences
of both ultra-violence and absolute absurdity at its most base level.

between drummer Gunter Muller, electronics by Erik M and the cracked everyday
electronics of Moslang and Guhl - the latter two known as Voice Crack. Presented
here are two lengthy and heavy weighted pieces recorded at two different festivals.
Overall the music is densely layered (although I can't say if this is a straight
recording or a mixed multi-track version; I assume the first) which moves into
various places and spaces. Small events happen all over the place, get their
shape and move to the next small event. You can detect sine waves, radio signals,
static drones. Poire Z moves cleverly from subdued areas into more noisy ones,
in order to slide back into softer passages. They even hit upon a strong rhythmic
section in their recording at the "Taktlos festival", that is almost
Pan Sonic like. Great stuff." FdW / Vital weekly (Sonoris) $10.00

Prurient "Cocaine
Death" CD "Cocaine Death is a compilation of three of Prurient's
finest Hospital cassette releases as well as two unreleased tracks. The previously
released material forms a triptych exploring the relationship between futile
pleasure, substance and escape; escape being a myth. Cocaine Death (originally
C-10 packaged in an envelope, limited to 46 copies) is perhaps the most sought
after of the recent Prurient cassettes. The content is based on the glamour
and destruction of toxic nightlife. The B-side features guest vocals from FFH
and continues the themes with the addition of bondage. This material is a considered
classic modern Prurient. Caribbean Overdose (originally a C-10, packaged in
a standard shell package and limited to 100 copies) explores a different but
strangely direct topic of the sexual reproductive life of plants. There is nothing
common or typical about the sounds and direction of this material. Further examination
into the life of scientific advancement and education. Tylenol Murders (originally
a C-10, packaged in an oversized envelope and limited to 10 copies) takes the
sounds and concepts of the aforementioned releases and expands the sounds to
further limits of cracked static, strained vocals and strange melodic loops.
This sought after limited material is seeing the light on this release to most
Prurient listeners for the first time. Since the inception of both Prurient
and the Hospital Productions label, cassette releases have been an essential
format for the communication and participation in the industrial/noise culture.

Putrefier
"Hypertension Classics - vol. 2" 4xCD Putrefier aka Mark Durgan
has been an active member, albeit below the radar, of the UK noise scene since
the inception of Putrefier back in 1986. Firstly, starting with his own Birthbiter
label which as well as cassettes also was one of the first distribution services
to start importing ZSF, Selektion and many Japanese oddities into the UK. Keeping
a low-profile has enabled Putrefier to work at his own pace and keeping to his
own vision. Throughout the last twenty years records and cassettes have been
limited but this latest release should be the start of a fresh outburst of activity.
His recordings have turned up on labels such as Broken Flag, Artware, MSBR,
RRR and more. This boxset though is the latest release on Harbinger Sound a
label with whom he has had a working relationship with now for many years. It
features the long out-of-print "Hypertension Classics" double 7"
which was sold at shows in Japan during the year 1999 only, plus over four hours
worth of quality recordings dating back to 1996 but with most constructed during
the 1999-2001 years. If you want pointers think of the possibilities of good
Voice Crack, the INA-GRM extremities & "Crash for Hi-Fi" era Merzbow

After many shows alongside
the likes of Ramleh, The New Blockaders, Merzbow, Pain Jerk, Incapacitants,

Its density, intricacy and beauty remind me of artists who work only in miniatures:
as explored in the Roden ‘special issue’ (&etc v1.7), he works
in bounded musical forms, yet creates pieces in there which are expansive and
could stretch infinitely despite their limits.‘The radio’ is a prime
example of this - each section could be left to continue further and further,
delving into its focused world, and the whole disk could be left to repeat,
the narrow passage of its composition gradually expanding to encompass the world.

Janek
Schaefer "Weather Report" CD-EP "“Weather Report
was created during my trips to Minnesota as a McKnight Composer in Residence
with the American Composers Forum. I lived in Uptown Minneapolis in a wonderful
wooden house surrounded by trees and lakes during December 2002 and June 2003.
The catalyst for the project was the Minnesotan love for their diverse and often
hostile weather.......which proved to be an exhilarating experience! My initial
ideas were to create and collect new sounds that were related to the concept
of weather in the broadest sense, to document and research weather in the media,
and to float recording equipment up on weather balloons in various ways. These
processes were integral as my focus was on sound associated with the weather,
in preference to pristine recordings of the weather first hand. An obvious exception,
in my last week, was the storm of 40 tornado warnings that touched down around
the fringes of the city.
The weather balloons were
used in 3 main ways. Firstly one icy winters morning I attached a mobile phone
to receive and send low resolution sound, letting it float away from the surface
of a frozen lake. Secondly using a digital dictaphone I made time lapse recordings
of the sky by floating it 500ft above my lush metropolitan neighbourhood. Lastly
three all American friends and I set out to shoot the balloon down late one
June afternoon leaving the sound to parachute back to earth.
I let the recordings speak
for themselves, no effects, no eq, just straight cut & splice collage where
you can hear the edges of time. Some other sounds collected include: underwater
ice skaters; flapping; old meteorological kit; leaf blowers; repairing weather
damage; various 60’s archive audio; melting ice, ski across snow, Minnesota
forecasts on radio, in the car and on TV; Tornado chasing & test equipment;
snow flakes landing on mic; squeaky tree; National Weather Service balloon launch;
walkie talkie tones from my Science Museum workshop etc. Oh, and all temperatures
in Farenheight.
The result is a highly compressed
Found Sound story, heard as a drifting voicemail message from the weather balloon.
A hybrid documentary collected and edited outdoors, where it is designed to
be heard while walking with headphones....so... go find a Walkman!” (Janek
Schaefer)
“Janek has created
a very specific sound portrait which. has a musical quality to it, but is not
a musical work. Whether intentional or not, this work reflects kindly on the
days of the early musique concrete of Pierre Schaeffer and Rune Lindblad. The
work takes the everyday sounds of weather - both experienced and interpreted
by the media- and places them in a context that relies on short, snipped splices
of sound that are clipped and brief and sown together to create a tapestry.
It is a sound poem, it tells a story to the listener. This work explores the
often dramatic seasonal differences of weather events of a specific place. But,
listeners will undoubtedly identify with the content of this piece in direct
reference to their own experiences with the weather where they live, or where
they have been. Janek has managed to call out the details of these phenomenon
to the listener and remind the listener of the events that take place everyday
but often go unexamined.” (Kevin Wienke, Alluvial Recordings)

Michael
J. Schumacher / Stephen Vitiello "Untitled/Exchange" CDr
"It's unclear wether they did each a track, or that both tracks are the
result of a collaborative work. Both Schumacher and Vitiello are known for the
love of minimal music, that is music with not many changes, usually made with
computers. As such this collaborative work is a bit different. Although they
still play around with longer, repeating textures, almost in a drone like manner,
there are also sounds that swirl in and out of the mix. Sometimes it seems to
be a synthesizer, sometimes a guitar, sometimes perhaps the processed version
of acoustic objects. Not always this comes across as super structured music,
but more like a free flow. Nothing leaps out of the mix, and things move all
the time on the same level. This gives the whole release a nice and relaxed
ambient feel, even when as such the music has not much to do with ambient music.
Not really a big surprise, but throughout very nice." Frans de Waard

around, climbing in the ropes, the sound is changed by the sensors. These three
guys are Edwin van der Heide, Atau Tanaka and Zbigniew Karkowski - three guys
with a wide experience in sound, electronic music and performances. The question
of course is: will their sound last on CD? Since they use pure tones and oscillations
which change because of bodily movements, nothing might happen if you play this
at home. It's unclear wether these four tracks, one analogue and three digital,
are recorded live, or used in live performances. The CD opens with 'digtal.1',
a slowly moving static line with small pulses, gradually increasing tension.
The 'analogue' track is much a like, but much slower. The built-up takes more
time (no surprise in a track that lasts 28 minutes) and is very austere in setting.
The two shorter 'digital.2' and 'digital.3' are like the opening track. More
pulsating, without getting anywhere near a beat. Number is almost like a sentimental
song, with a tone of sadness in there. The presstext talks about the missing

for a controversial staging of the classic greek tragedy, "Medea"

its extreme violence, it might also be one of their most beautiful. Fragile
melodies sung by boy sopranos float above demonic choirs and malevolent orchestras
only to be ripped apart by screaming sheets of industrial noise. Oscillating
between lush musical seduction and a level of brutality as yet unprecedented
across the band's backcatalog, "Medea" will appeal to fans running

Matt Shoemaker

participate in a field recording workshop in the Amazon in 2007 under the mentorship
of Francisco Lopez. With all of tactile squishes and wet slurps that introduce
his 20 minute composition for the Ferns series of 3" CDs, I had wrong assumed
that these sounds were sourced from those field recordings. No, it turns out
that Shoemaker's sounds came from the wintry environments of Seattle, Washington.
It is the sound of melting ice, and not some scurrying beetle. The details to
Shoemaker's composition, like on all of his work, are immaculately presented,
with each encroaching sound being vibrant and rich. The composition begins with
a few clicks and crackles from his frozen source, with a gradual swell of densely
compacted gray sounds and rumbles. Think Chris Watson's finale to Weather Report,
but with the narrative twisted towards the analysis of natural decay, rot, and
putrefaction. His electo-acoustic sensibility effortlessly makes itself know
amongst the field recordings with pierced drones refracting through the ice."

ever released, the first being a 40 minute inferno recorded on KXLU and the
second from a 20 minute live set in 2002 in St. Louis. 13-Tet Los Angeles (disk
4) is a live document of a 13 piece lineup that performed two sets at The Smell
in Los Angeles in December 2007 and is also the first live performance of a
score by John Wiese. There are also many contributors to this set aside from
original members of John Wiese and Corydon Ronnau: Mitchell Brown, Sarah Cake,
Kevin Drumm, Gerritt, Kate Hall (Mika Miko), Joseph Hammer (Solid Eye), Aaron
