Late november 2013. a reminiscence from the 1980s, the creation of the label Radium 226.05 by Carl Mich…
Noise Of Voice
*restocked, reduced price* 5x CD + Dvd box collecting Junko Hiroshige (founder member of Hijokaidan) her unique and extreme vocal style. Life’s a scream with Junko, whose extreme vocals exemplify the principle of less talk and more action: with vocal chords of rarely equaled sustainability (mere mortals would suffer nodules like golf balls if trying to match her), Junko’s often brutal high-register insistence comes across like the voice of Linda Sharrock taken to sheer hellish extr…

Tape Archive 1973-1978
MILESTONE! Bureau B releases a limited 3LP box set to celebrate Hans-Joachim Roedelius' 80th birthday. During the legendary Forst years, Roedelius had a private workspace with a Farfisa organ, a Revox-A77 tape machine, an echo device and a synthesizer which he borrowed from the Cluster studio next door, now and again. Here he experimented, practiced, and allowed his imagination to flow at any hour of the day or night, whenever he was not in the studio with Dieter Moebius and/or Michael Rot…

Musica su schemi
Founded in Italy between 1964 and 1965, the world's first composers collective, Gruppo Di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza, sought to unhem the purposefulness of their respective instruments and the primacy of composition in order to open up a space for the emergence of free music and unintentional noise sounds.
The music sways between nearly inaudible whir, clatter and scrape and bubbling blasts of sound. Their overtures to noise, anti-musical operations and compositional experiments on this di…
Sarcelle Locheres
A mindblowing masterpiece, of course included in the NWW list: Red Noise's one and only album was originally released near the end of 1970 on the legendary Futura label. Red Noise was a radical, inventive avant rock band with some improvised jazz elements, as well as a heavy dose of Zappa-esque humor. The first side is a bunch of interconnected tracks, some of them much shorter than a minute, like the opening piece, "Cosmic Toilet Ditty," which consists of footsteps and a toilet flush. Quirky so…
Anamorphosis
Romitelli was born in 1963 and died tragically in 2004 after a long illness. He studied in Italy with Donatoni, and later at IRCAM with the spectralists. His work blends the sonic experiments of spectralism with psychedelic rock in the kind of hybridization of art and popular music more common of the New York Downtown scene. His work is wild and exciting, and often combines acoustic and electric instruments with other bizarre sound sources creating a hallucinatory atmosphere. The Talea En…

Unless you are a child or a poet, it may have been a while since you experienced the world so openly. Be grateful for shamans like Laura Cetilia who stand ready to r…
