Wasser im Wind
LP version on 180 gram vinyl. Of all the Hans-Joachim Roedelius solo releases, this is the one which most closely resembles the work of Cluster. Wasser Im Wind sees Roedelius use a wide variety of musical and sonic ingredients hitherto associated with Cluster, almost as if he sought to erect a monument to the group. Right from the word "go," the familiar sound of the Drummer One rhythm machine can be discerned on the opening track, like a wood gnome crashing his way through the shire; then we he…
Off the Record
LP version. Well-known as one-quarter of the "classic" Kraftwerk line-up, Karl Bartos' new album is an audio-visual sensation. Lost for many years, some of his early music has been re-conceived and re-contextualized in a thrilling modern setting. Here's the story: during Kraftwerk's heyday, Karl Bartos wrote -- off the record -- a secret acoustic diary. Based on his musical jottings (rhythms, riffs, hooks, sounds, chords, and melodies) this is what he has come up with today -- 12 brand-new, exci…
Pierrot Alterations
"The character of Pierrot, the archetypal 'sad clown' of artistic tradition, has served as a beacon of inspiration for vanguard figures from Picasso to Kenneth Anger to David Bowie. In the new 56-page zine Pierrot Alterations, the acclaimed underground artist CF approaches this mythic figure through an enigmatic haze of bizarre characters, dreamlike action and stunning visuals. Presented in vivid color with wit and inventiveness, Pierrot Alterations continues CF’s bold experiments with graphic s…

Abécédaire n° 6 - «Clef de Sol» - Été 2007
Bernard Heidseick (1928-2014) decided in the mid-1950s to break off from written poetry, and to bring it outside of books. He opposed passive poetry to active poetry, to an “on its feet” poetry, in his own words. Starting in 1955 he was one of the founders of Sound Poetry, and in 1962 of Action Poetry. As early as 1959 he used a tape recorder as an additional means for writing and retransmitting, opening his research to new experimental fields.While remaining concerned with semantics, Bernard He…
Perfect Fatigue
**100 hand-numbered copies** Perfect Fatigue is a collection of film photography taken throughout North America between 2009 and 2014. Directly engaging with the legacy of landscape photography, the images in this collection document a series of encounters between the elemental and the human. The natural world, captured with an almost mystical, luminous sense of place, becomes a sequence of sites that are both filmic and autobiographical.
Michael Vallera is a visual artist and musician currently…

In the late 1970s and early ’80s, she was part of the movement joining the legacies of downtown art, punk rock, and hip hop through her involvement with the Colab art collective, the Fashion Moda gallery, and legendary exhibitions including the Real Estate Show and Times Square Show. In the midst of this groundbreaking work, Dickson lived, worked and raised two children in an apartment on 43rd St…
Normalette Surprise
180 gram LP version. 1980 the zeitgeist played into the right hands. And who held the aces? In Bureau B's game, Moritz R®, Frank Fenstermacher and Pyrolator aka Der Plan. Tired of convention and full of enthusiasm, they encountered an audience who felt just the same. And with record companies too ponderous to sign up Der Plan, the wonderful Ata Tak label was born of necessity. Normalette Surprise is the second album by Der Plan, released in 1981, a good year after their Geri Reig debut. It i…
Con 3
180 gram LP version. "This album saw Conrad Schnitzler head further in the direction of pop music. Like Consequenz, Con 3 (1981) is a collaborative effort with Wolfgang Seidel, alias Sequenza. Con 3 is a really odd mixture of numerous ingredients which Schnitzler was capable of combining with dexterity and taste. His musical handwriting is immediately apparent in the foreground. Effervescent electronic sequences can be heard on all nine pieces, coming from somewhere and appearing to go wherever …

Cluster is a monster; it cont…
Biotop
scenes from the lab of German electronic music composer Asmus Tietchens are just a few skewed demonstrations of his distant mastery of highbrow composition guised in synth-pop's veneer
