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 to Cart

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 to Cart

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 Fault) $12.00 Add to Cart

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 to Cart

Kiyoshi Mizutani/Daniel Menche "Garden" CD "Misconceptions between reality and fiction, "Garden" is the first collaboration between these two monsters of noise.

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."

Scott Arford/Randy H. Y. Yau/Michael Nine "7HZ" CD 7hz, founded in 1995 by Scott Arford, has continued to function as San Francisco's premiere venue for noise and experimental media. A space where new combinations of image, sound, and experience can be realized. Since its inception it has had the privilege of hosting performances for many of the world's most interesting, progressive, and challenging sound and media artists. This CD represents some of the best recordings by each of the 3 people that live at 7hz and make it the wonderful place that it is. Randy has appeared on Ground Fault (GF009 - RHY Yau "The Hidden Tongue"). Scott is also no stranger to Ground Fault (GF003 - Radiosonde "Meter Sickness"). Michael Nine is better known for his work under the name Death Squad. This is the fourth collaborative CD between Randy Yaus Aucultare Reseach label and Ground Fault Recordings.

Scott Arford/Randy 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."

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." — François Couture The first of many collaborative releases between Auscultare Research and Ground Fault Recordings.

John Duncan Book/CD "Monograph with selected artworks, audio, installations and performances 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."

Alessandro Bosetti "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 Bodies/Ground Fault) $16.00 Add to Cart

Christof Migone "Sound Voice Perform" BOOK/CD With contributions by Brandon LaBelle, Martin Spinelli, and Allen S. Weiss. "Sound Voice Perform” documents the performance, sound, and video works of the Canadian artist. Working since the mid-80s, Migone weaves together a multitude of media, from radio to telephones to digital objects, to form a stunning and highly dynamic practice. Combining an acute sonic sensibility with performative usages of the body, video, and the voice, his work engages corporeal presence with a subtle invasion, unsettling speech and gesture through investigative and theoretical poetics. Including documentation of works and a full length CD of audio works compiled from over the last 15 years including previously unreleased material. With essays by Allen S. Weiss and Brandon LaBelle, an interview with the artist by Martin Spinelli, "Christof Migone — Sound Voice Perform" is the first monograph on this unique artist.(Errant Bodies/Ground Fault) $15.00 Add to Cart

V/A "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.

Including additional contributions by Kabir Carter, Sophie Gosselin/apo33, Erik Granly Jensen, Brandon LaBelle, Sophea Lerner, elpueblodechina a.k.a. Alejandra Pérez Núnez, Kate Sieper, James Sey, neuroTransmitter, Marie Wennersten / SR c, and Achim Wollscheid.

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) SOLD OUT

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').

Sometimes all the events seem to be apparent at the same time, but at other times one long curve is drawn, such as in the beautiful opening piece 'Skeletune(s)'.

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.

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.

Analog or acoustic instruments are used because of the direct physical process with which they generate sound. 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.).

From the projects isolated beginnings to the recent full band line-up the development of this singular musical entity is documented here in its icy electronic glory. From Cold Cave’s infancy sexual identity and oblique existentialism have been expressed through biting lyrics and electronic minimalism. Rarely has the human condition been exposed so brazenly as in “Sex Ads”. Melodies, noise and rhythms clash as stories from below the surface are retold. From the demo LP Coma Potion, which featured a rugged stripped down distortion, to the suggestive Electronic Dreams tour cassette (featuring the voice of Max Morton on the track “Heavenly Metals”). Cold Cave has developed its own brand of genre defying electronic music, without ever betraying its dark roots. Love and pornography, Industrial music and traditionalism, poetry and profanity all mix together in a hedonistic, cocktail of nihilistic nights and mournful mornings.

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.

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.” label description $14.00 (Xing Wu) Add to Cart

Denis Tricot & Eric Cordier "Orgue De Bois" CD "In the last few years, with their Orgue de bois (Wooden Organ), Denis Tricot and Eric Cordier have installed constructions which are at the same time sculpture and musical instrument in many public spaces. Each Wooden Organ is unique, conceived for the space that will receive it. A monument, a square, a street, a city... With it's long undulating wooden lines (successions of joined slats), it creates privileged spaces which are exposed to the public eye. After a performance, the audience is free to explore and discover the instrument's vast potential for musical sounds and noises.
More that thirty Wooden Organs have been created in the lat four years in France and Italy. Generally around thirty metres long, these monumental yet extremely light sculptures integrate in their construction the basic principles of lutherie (instrument-building), and can be played like any string or percussion instrument. The Wooden Organ is very simply amplified. The recordings, like the concerts, use no electronic processing, but the monumental instrument itself intentionally contains principles of mechanical resonance and vibration." label description (Prele) $12.00 Add to Cart

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.

I'm unfamiliar with the bands but I know the two others as composers of powerbook music, both in their very own style. This CD is a solo CD recorded at various concerts, where he performed on theremin, msp-propelled theremin, aks synth and computer. These eight pieces can be best described as 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.

It occupies the space and fills your lungs, so in such a short time you grew accustomed to this nightmare, probably just in time for Burke and Dimuzio to sever the umbilical cord so suddenly, leaving you helpless and in silence. (Richard di Santo / Incursion)
Dan Burke has called this one of his favorite works he's put out. Dimuzio is the guy behind Gench Studios, the place where so many experimental labels get their stuff mastered. HZ is a refined, driving, eclectic nightmare of beats, darkhop and odd sound tones and soundscapes. The listen deepens as it progresses, with varied layers of styles developing and fading."

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 release (Hospital Productions) $10.00 Add to Cart

John Duncan Book/CD "Monograph with selected artworks, audio, installations and performances 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."

Leif Elggren "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 to Cart

Emeralds "What Happened" CD "Emeralds is at the forefront of a new American movement that continues the experimentation in analog electronics of the 60's and 70's while ignoring the formulaic and boring turn electronic music took in the later part of the 20th century. Add a renewed energy gained from their connections to the noise movement, and you have some of the most original and true music of the new century. 'What Happened' continues their exploration in tonal beauty of their recent work that brought to mind pioneers like Tangerine Dream and Cluster, while presenting a new approach to structure that brings to mind masters like Luc Ferrari and opens our ears to a new universe full of astonishing possibilities.

ErikM "Zygosis" 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) $10.00 Add to Cart

Jarrod Fowler " '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 (Patrick Lowelace Editions) $9.00 Add to Cart

Jim Haynes "Sever" CD "Sever is the third solo album by San Francisco-based composer Jim Haynes, whose singular music evades simple attempts to describe it. The process of decaying and wearing down materials is implied in Sever; its passages of rough clang and cyclic scraping metal seem implacably tangible, as if one is witnessing time-lapsed erosion in action. For me, Sever conjures images of oncoming storms, abandoned industrial sites, huge empty warehouses, creaking glass, ships rocking in a port, the middle of the ocean far from land. Sever is an engaging album of evocative, highly visual drone music made up of layers upon organic layers that are in constant motion, and yet seem somehow still.

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.

Distorted echoes of mayhem resonate against the hull of a steel coffin speeding toward certain destruction. Grating, shouted vocals, radio intercepts, and bombastic rhythms are crushed together to represent an inevitable fiery death and a hero's grave in the cold, crushing depths of the Pacific Ocean, all in the name of imperious glory.

Kirchenkampf "Babel" 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 expressway. This is music where the setting is as much an integral part of the composition as the performances on cello and violin.

Eric La Casa / Philip Samartzis / Jean-Luc Guionnet "Soleil d'artifice" CD "The trio of Eric La Casa, Jean-Luc Guionnet and Philip Samartzis first performed in Australia in July 2005 during Liquid Architecture 6 where they presented 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 to demonstrate the complex set of aco ustic and spatial interactions occurring between the constructed and the natural. Soleil d¹artifice is a culmination of these investigations." (Swarming) $12.00 Add to Cart

Eric La Casa/ Jean-Luc 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.

Jean-Francois Laporte "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 Add to Cart

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 (Alluvial) $8.00 Add to Cart

Yoko Higashi and Lionel Marchetti "Okura 73°N - 42°E" CD Musica Genera presents another album from French musique concrète composer Lionel Marchetti (in 2005 MG had released the CD "Docteur Kramer (you are not you)" by Lionel Marchetti and Emmanuel Petit), this time realised together with his artistic partner Yôko Higashi, Japanese performer, dancer and vocalist. The album contains three compositions of musique concrète, one by Marchetti, one by Higashi and a collaborative work by both artists.

Each of the tracks is an elaborate sound construction of individual characteristics and unique sound aura. "Pétrole 73" is the artistic fruit of Marchetti's stay at the "Stubnitz" trawler, the one of a kind ship rebuilt as a floating cultural centre. Analogue drones, radio voices and mechanical sounds of working hull create the atmosphere that contrasts with next composition. "Okura" was realised by Higashi basing on the sound material gathered in Mozambique. Field recordings of African nature and surprising electronic interventions interweave with fragments of ethnic music, leading the listener towards the final, collaborative track. "Pétrole 42" captivates with it's sonic depth and uncanny, ethereal aura created by delicate synthesiser passages, distant, unearthly voices, chants, breaths, punctuated with disturbing, aggressive concrète sounds.'" label description (Musica Genera) $12.00 Add to Cart

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.” (Monotype Records) $14.00 Add to Cart

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.

For Animality I used a large drum with moose skin for powerful deep bass sounds and then also a elk skin drum for penetrating mid sounds. Much of the higher sounds are from "residue" noise of these drums. Much like how Native Americans use ALL of the animals skin, bones, fur and meat. Even tho there is killing involved there is an devout appreciation and divine gratitude to nature. All of the possible sounds I could create with these drums I used for Animality.

His work often stems from sound sources as varied as 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, truck horns, mangled drones from instruments such as accordions, melodicas, organs, and bass guitars with heavy gauged strings." label description (Alien8/Substractif) $10.00 Add to Cart

mnortham "Go" 3" CD "This new work by Michael Northam (aka mnortham) is a humble attempt to represent in sound the inner force of his recently deceased father's life-long passion for machines and long career as a driver of 3/4 midget and sprint race cars. Where during his 16-year career (from 1949 until 1965) he gained some status as a pioneer of the sport and a national champion. For Michael this period remained a mysterious time of legend as it was some years before his birth. This composition therefore is a journey into the heart of these legends. A portrait of a sprit struggling to keep focus while riding a massive force of machine. An interpretation of the experience that his father must have been undergoing in the midst of a race.

Based on various sources including spring cars themselves recorded at the Terre Haute Raceway September of 2005. This work is a monolithic testament of the force of life of a man who lived it fully until the end. As well, a meditation on the samasaric metaphor of the oval track—the circle of life we are all riding along and are bound to GO. (Ferns) $8.00 Add to Cart
