Flow Of Everything
"As the bassist for the Matthew Shipp Trio for some dozen years, Michael Bisio has still made time to initiate a cornucopia of side projects, all distinct, all persuasive and all showcasing the deep and wide artistry of Bisio. But now, his side roads have led him back to the heart of his best-known gig. The just-released Flow of Everything centers on the bass-piano symmetry of the Matthew Shipp Trio. This isn't the first time Bisio has made a duo record with Shipp, but it's been nearly a decade.…

Framtiden Tillhör Inte Oss
*Limited edition of 500 copies.* 2nd press for the second LP of indie pop meets industrial dreaming from Gothenburg heroes Amateur Hour.
"It’s like two halves of the same uncomfortable feeling. The strange but true meeting of the mawkish sweetness of indie pop and the psychically damaged acting-out of industrial and noise has a long tail. Moments of heartfelt song emerging from the murk of an Xpressway cassette, the wailing debris plus cute pop of Henry’s Dress/Black Tambourine/Sunny Sundae Smil…
Care
Editions Mego is proud to present the first outing from the legendary English musician, songwriter, composer and producer Simon Fisher Turner alongside the highly acclaimed emerging Swedish sound artist Klara Lewis. Care is a unique outing rife with delicious dichotomy. The opening track positions the aggressive directly against more fragile moments.

Zahntasia
Limited edition of 150 copies hand-numbered and signed by the artist. The Bookworm presents -- with a wide grin -- the first book by Stefan Fähler. Its title, Zahntasia, inflects the name of Walt Disney's 1940 animated masterpiece with the German word for "tooth" ("Zahn"), and accordingly, it depicts a psychedental journey starring an anthropomorphic molar who suddenly gets popped out of his daily grind. Across 80 black-and-white pages, our toothy protagonist is whisked into a world of sticky i…
Gay Guerrilla: Julius Eastman and His Music
Composer-performer Julius Eastman (1940-90) was an enigma, both comfortable and uncomfortable in the many worlds he inhabited: black, white, gay, straight, classical music, disco, academia, and downtown New York. His music, insistent and straightforward, resists labels and seethes with a tension that resonates with musicians, scholars, and audiences today. Eastman's provocative titles, including Gay Guerrilla, Evil Nigger, Crazy Nigger, and others, assault us with his obsessions. Eastman tested …

Sounds Like Silence - John Cage - 4’33” – Silence Today
* 2021 Stock. Language: English * The title of this book and the exhibition it documents—Sounds Like Silence—is ambiguous. On the one hand, silence effectively »sounds«—or as Cage put it, »There is no such thing as silence.« On the other hand, sound needs silence in order to be heard. Even if complete silence does not exist, every sound implicitly conveys the notion of silence: there is no presence without absence. The double meaning of Sounds Like Silence therefore touches upon the central issu…
Spacescapes – Dance & Drawing since 1962 (Book)
A collection of original essays focusing on the specific interaction of dance and drawing during the second half of the 20th century.Dance and drawing are intimately linked to the gesture that performs them. The dancing body creates a figure in space and leaves an impact on site, while the action of the artist sets a point into motion and captures an ephemeral event, which is reproduced in graphic or visual form. Throughout the 20th century, the performing and visual arts thus converged on many …
