Io and her and the trouble with him
Written and directed by Ione. Music and sound design by Pauline Oliveros.

Phonotopies (Paris)
Tip! that bring together two established composers for the first time. On one side (who knows if it is side A or side B?) we find Silvain Vanot, who was at the forefront of 90s French indie rock alongside the likes of Dominique A and Jean-Louis Murat. He has also collaborated with Jim O’Rourke. The other (side B or perhaps side A?) goes to Pierre-Yves Macé, a stalwart of the label. A composer of instrumental (his work is regularly performed by the Ensemble Intercontemporain) and electroacoustic …

Born in the state of FLUX/us
Restocked, reduced price Performing and visual artist Ben Patterson (born 1934) was a founding member of Fluxus' participatory, do-it-yourself, anticommercialist avant-garde network. While many Fluxus artists, influenced by John Cage's precedent, employed conceptual techniques borrowed from music (e.g., the event score), Patterson's fusion of art and music was informed by his background as a classically trained double-bassist. His "Variations for Double Bass" (1960), for example, was played with…
Dé-Coll/Age Musik
Awesome reissue of the vinyl-lp originally released 1983 by Multhipla (Cramps) and focused on his de-collage tecnique: much of Wolf Vostell's work deals with the idea of de-collage just as it sounds, rendering the whole into parts. He put this into practice with video and with sound, with his sound contributions being of interest here. Real-life events, dialogues, and existing recorded materials are spliced apart, ragged at the ends. From liner notes: "Some years ago I asked Giuseppe Chiari 'Wha…

Innerconnection
Unreleased session from 1975. "Trumpeter Ted Daniel's Energy Module was a short-lived band. They played exactly two gigs in the course of one week in the fall of 1975-and never played again. They gelled quickly as a quintet, however, in large part because everyone knew each other from working in Daniel's big band, Energy. However, the Energy Module was a less formal affair than the large ensemble, in which they played Daniel's original compositions and arrangements. "We had a couple of re…
