Gentle Electronics
In the pieces featured on this record, I have chosen simple electronic means - the kind that are commonplace, accessible, cheap, and easy to use - and I put them to work in a mostly-theatrical way: a situation of representation, one that is unique, new, and creative, where the focus lies in esthetics and poetics instead of in technological prowess. An imagination of otherness, where you don't know anymore whether the other is the soundworld produced out of time in the 'black box' of electronics …
Deutschland Femdom
The Ligurian duo St.Ride, composed of Edo Grandi and Maurizio Gusmerini, is one of the most ambiguous and lest framed bands of Italian experimental music. Their first works came out for some labels but the rest has all been self-released on cd-r for Niente, diy label that the two members use for their side projects. The only thing that counts is their music, an out-and-out studio made of unexpected events. From the acid, electronic strokes of Primitivo to the successful mix between On-U Sound ta…
Divergence
“Divergence” explores the tension between space and sound induced by their manipulated representation: sounds alter, calibrate and form space while simultaneously the sound is formed and manipulated by the space it is placed in. The album is based on pure sound sources such as sine waves and white noise. These sounds are physically manipulated and destroyed by the use of tape in order to form pulses, interferences and new wave forms. These manipulations create a divergence between the perception…

Andante Plumbeo
Umanzuki is a three-piece act based in Florence, Italy whose sound and aesthetics are in constant metamorphosis: moving from a former psych free- rock mood, evolving into an increasing dissolution of structures, they are now completing their ascent and reaching an even more abstract form of ambient. Wrapped in dark, synthetic matter, with this 30 minute-long improv session Umanzuki penetrate into the fields of a dilated and deconstructed ambient sound. Recorded in Florence during March 2015 and …
Information Pollution
180-gram LP. Includes printed inner sleeve. Like some ingenious combination of John Cage's chance operations and the numbers station data stream captured on The Conet Project, Strategy's Information Pollution immerses listeners in baffling sonic waters. It's a riveting work that converts the enigmatic effluvia of shortwave and dispatch radio chatter into thrumming, static-riddled clouds of ambience. An undercurrent of unease wafts through Information Pollution's four lengthy tracks, as barely au…
Color Attic
"Bulbs is a band that I like so much that I started a record label to rep their work. I put out their Light Ships album in 2008 because I was so impressed with how futuristic their music was. They've remained active on their own terms since then, releasing a number of micro-editions of their music including a few incredible tapes (Sky Listening, Moon Episodes) and a few splits (a 12" with Mouthus (IMPREC 255LP) and a 7" with Wobbly). Generally Bulbs' music does not sound like the guitar/drum ins…

Terrible Fake
Terrible Fake explores rhythmic relationships between drums and piano in context of somewhat crippled art of trip-hop. It is mostly based on irregular beats in order to create kind of fragmented groove. Different characters are alsoemphasized through mostly chromatic movements of piano in different registers, producing either undefined tonal system or droning wall of sound.Terrible Dub is nevertheless a "dub" version of the piece which minimizes Terrible Fake to it's fundamentals regarding time …
Shikisokuzekuu-Kuusokuzeshiki
The details of Shikisokuzekuu-Kuusokuzeshiki (1964) are unknown except that it was created at the NHK electronic music studio. According to Toshi Ichiyanagi, there were various discussions about the title, but it would seem to have been eventually broadcasted on the radio with the title Kuu after a producer renamed it. Here, the original title is used, following Ichiyanagi's initial intention. This work has no relation to the short experimental film Shikisokuzekuu (1974), produced by filmmaker T…
