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 20002005. 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 Gods 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. Yaus sonic works are inspired by sound poetry, actionism, and the processes of musique concrete. But bored by the musique concretes 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.

"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 statesscientific
detritus working as an acoustician and social/cultural detritus in everyday
nomadic lifereaching 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 $8.00
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 $9.00

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

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." 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."

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."

Bastard Noise "Our
Earth's Blood, IV" 5xCD
"First conceived in 1999, and intensively honed over the past four years,
Our Earths 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
Earths Blood IV. Bastard Noise started alongside its powerviolence personality,
Man Is The Bastard, in 1991. Our Earths 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 Earths Blood II
10 split with The Locust from 1995 and Our Earths 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 Earths Blood tradition
of over 15 years, but defines the spirit of caveman electronics that Bastard
Noise created. Our Earths Blood IV pulls together Skull Servants
in collaboration of sound and fury, including:
| * ANDORKAPPEN (U.S.A.) | * GOLEM GROSS (U.S.A.) | * PEACEMAKER (U.S.A.) |
| * AZOIKUM (GERMANY) | * GOVERNMENT
ALPHA (JAPAN) |
* P.W.E. (U.S.A.) |
| * BIZARRE UPROAR (FINLAND) | * GUILTY CONNECTOR (JAPAN) | * RICK GRIBENAS (U.S.A.) |
| * CHRISTIAN BASS (GERMANY) | * JAY RANDALL/AGOROPHOBIC NOSEBLEED (U.S.A.) | * ROTTEN PIECE (U.S.A.) |
| * CLEW OF THESEUS (U.S.A.) | * KELLY CHURKO (JAPAN) | * SICKNESS (U.S.A.) |
| * CULPIS (JAPAN) | * MERZBOW (JAPAN) | * SURROUNDED (U.S.A.) |
| * DEFEKTRO (JAPAN) | * NYARLATHOTEP (U.S.A.) | * VOLITION (ENGLAND) |
| * EMESIS (U.S.A.) | * OBLONG BOX (U.S.A.) |
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 Earths 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 Earths 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."

Star Core "Challenger"
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

to slow the breath of the listener. Silence is a prelude to eruption and realization.
Shifting sine, curious creeks, patient tone remains. Colourful audio digestion,
sometimes stagnant, (hence the title), sometimes vigorous." Drawing inspiration
from classical modern electronic composition, Leticia offers a palette of audio
explorations that carry on the tradition of new electronic music and will reward

Joda Clelemt "Movement
+ Rest" CD "Movement + Rest is the result of two years work listening,
collecting and arranging sound. My recordings attempt to blur the distinction
between electronic, acoustic and ambient sources. 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.). I combine nondescript
omnipresent noises that surround us with instrumental and vocal recordings to
create a landscape of sounds that unites the properties of both musical and
everyday contexts". -Joda Clememt (Alluvial) $11.00

Licht/Lee Ranaldo "Nothing Makes Any Sense" CD "A
constantly shifting and engaging long-form piece of developed drone, foreboding
melody, and harsh grit, Nothing Makes Any Sense finds Lee Ranaldo (Sonic Youth),
Nels Cline (Nels Cline Singers, Wilco), and Alan Licht pushing their guitars
into a cacophonous state that bears much influence from the post-jazz fields
they've all cut their teeth in, but also bearing down a forceful brutality that
has sometimes eluded their past material. While Carlos Giffoni uses his analog
Synth mastery to adequately contend and mesh seamlessly with the trio of strings,
letting his analog noise pulsate and pierce with its own sense of contained
stampede." label description (No Fun Productions) $12.00

Anla Courtis + Kouhei
Matsunaga "Courtis_Matsunaga"
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."

Schafer and Atau Tanaka. 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. Great stuff indeed." FdW / Vital

the guy behind Gench Studios, the place where so many experimental labels get

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.

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.

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. INSCAPE = everything in real time

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 listeners 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 Jackmans 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?nters early
work, but as lithic and rudimentary as Jeph Jerman. As the title Till
suggests, Lebers 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.

by the radical piano work of Eric Satie. Other pieces includes cool, flowing
ambiance and cut up's of American, Japanese and European TV and radio broadcasts.

Kouhei
Matsunaga "Complicated
high still now..." CDr " When Eastern Europe only starts discovering
"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

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 (Roels characteristic
silences are at a minimum) containing numerous complimentary sources simultaneously
building together into broadband structures, then falling away to focus on various

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. Mems 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 1960s. 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".

are superb for rich resonating sounds due to the animal skin used. For Animality
I used a large drum with moose skin for powerful deep bass sounds and then also

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

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)

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

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.

KK Null "Galactic Tornado" CD "The album Galactic
Tornado by Mr. Kazuyuki Kishino (KK NULL) presents the deep, dense &
dynamic electronic music. It's unconditional, intuitive and highly emotional excellent
audio-work. Combining synthetic sounds from various synthesizers and electronic
machines with acoustic audio signals, the composer explores (from his own point
of view) some artistic values of psychedelic electronic sound that
were widly presented on space/electronic/kraut albums from 70s. Naturally, this
CD could be recommended for listeners who prefer the contemporary experimental
sound in its highest quality and for fans of retro spacey sound from
the groups such as Popol Vuh, Cluster or even Tangerined Dream as well. Luxurious
6-panels digipack with silver lettering and spot varnishing feautures artwork

Onomatopoeia "A
Marble Holder From Andover" CD - I haven't heard anything from Onomatopoeia
in YEARS! I had wondered what happened to Mr. Cheeses International. Evedentally
he hasn't died from liver disease. It just took him 8 years to release a new
CD. It is a shame this recording has been buried away for so long. It is really
good. While putting aside the wacky persona of Mr. Cheese and forgetting that
he associates with the likes of Smell & Quim, ConDom, the Rective crew and
others you'll be suprised to hear such a well done 20 minute piece of soundscape
material recorded in 1996. It's not a masterpiece but it is worthy of a listen.
If you haven't caught up with the 90's yet, this is a good one to check out.

Prurient "The
Black Post Society" CD ""The Black Post Society" embraces
and accepts the depression of not having anything left to hunt. The mask without
a face to hold. The depression of the hunter after the deer is killed. It is
better to be hungry than to have eaten. As fantasy shatters under the whip of
reality, erotic malaise settles in the nest of the mind inverting this dormant
fuel to rekindle the endless cycle of sexual chaos." label description

Prurient/Kites "The Hidden Family/+White+" split CD "Another jammed-elevator mismatch between two of Providence, RI's hottest pedal jackers and circuit board melters. The Kites part of the split evokes a crunchy square toned melodic flair with organic almost organ-fueled Disneyland melodies. These are the rockers. Prurient is another Providence-based sound artist doing low toned rumble jammed up against cassette culture screech. Live shows are a blur of power and volume. Yes the cream of the noise crop. This CD is a bit more subdued in all out attack and more drenched in total murk-o-phonic atmosphere. Percussive chug and downer vibes! The CD version comes with a bonus track from The Young Lords, a collaboration by both artists. (Load) <
