Etats-Limites ou les cris de Petra
“Borderlines or Petra’s shouts. Songs for the other half of the sky N°VII” (2013) After some reissue or first edition of old composition, here’s a brand new composition from Jean-Claude Eloy. Made mostly with voice, bells and synthetic sounds this piece works like an electroacoustic lightning. “A kind of salutary madness”.
For Moussavi Atrium
For Moussavi Atrium is a brand new 38 minute piece from Eleh written for performance at the Cleveland Museum Of Contemporary Art (Cleveland MOCA) on September 28, 2013. " walks into a bar and asks for a pint of beer, the barman scowls at him and refuses. When pressed as to why, he says "I don't like your tone." Meanwhile a drunk in the corner tries to start a chant of "Eleh, give us a wave"...probably a sine it's time to leave.Yup, here's another tonal meditation from extreme minimal chappie…
Moviments/Oposicio
Barcelona's Arnau Sala Saez (Veiled, Anomìa) offer four side of foggy and minimal industrial slabs for analog synth and magnetic tapes tension, exploring the territory which is constricted between ambient soundscapes and dry beat research.
Civilization year
Late night electronic for smokers, tape music for stolen conversations and field recordings.

Blaster
restocked! New York-based conceptual artist James Hoff returns to PAN with Blaster, a document of his explorations of computer viruses as agents within the composition process. Specifically, Hoff used the Blaster virus to infect 808 beats and then utilized the mutated results as building blocks for seven new compositions. Hoff's interest in computer viruses lies in their ability to self-distribute through (and ultimately disrupt) networks of communication and Hoff's agency as an artist ce…
Kuang EP
restocked. Lee Gamble is a UK-based artist and electronic music producer with roots in the original jungle-techno and extreme computer music fields. The Kuang EP heralds the release of Gamble's keenly-awaited 2nd LP KOCH with three tracks of dissociative ambient/techno. "Kali Wave" opens with a bittersweet breakbeat roller sounding something like early AGCG playing in a hall of mirrors, whereas "Mimas Skank" diffuses oily acid and dry dub techno inna dancefloor wormhole, and the detached amb…
Brainnectar
Brainnectar is Rudolf Eb.er's most developed program to date, combining psychodynamic audio-environments built from specific nature-sounds and extreme acoustics, often including ecstatic elements on instruments of shamanic origin. Binaural beats as well as isochronic tones stimulate a direct neural reaction to this unique and unheard audio-art. In addition, the grand lady of japanese extreme music - screamvocalist Junko Hiroshige (Hijokaidan) - participates on several tracks throughout this doub…
Humoresken und Vektoren
Humoresken und Vekotren takes up a work that was started upon the invitation of Francisco Lopez for the spanish Störung label. The task was to deliver thirteen 2-minute original compositions for a compilation release. "Humoresken und Vektoren" recycles these miniatures from 2010 and undfolds it into eight new works having no resemblance with the original sourcings whatsoever. These eight tracks are bound together by eight short pieces entitled "Tristia" that function as bridges between the longe…
Disqualifier
The 6th full-length studio recording and first since his move to Baltimore, Disqualifier steps beyond the shadow of Ottoman Black to yield a programmatic, mature and vulnerable setting. Dense brass, concrete sounds and mutated noise reveal a pointed narrative & unmatched compositional stroke. Equal parts harsh and ambient, Disqualifier is an exemplar for the American underground. Recorded from nothing November, 2012 through July, 2013 in Baltimore, MD. Additional musicians: Jeff Stockham french …

Untitled
MINDBLOWING! The tracks on this CD were recorded between 2005 and 2006, yet the music seems to have surfaced from another time - completely isolated from influences of the current era. Dimpflmeier also seems to be an "assistant" to the unique and arcane instruments that he helped manifest. As he has stated, his instruments seem to be "autonomous - their own masters"... However, that is not to say that it doesn't require a form of mastery to successfully "collaborate" with such strange ins…
The Abyss
The Abyss is an epic, dynamic statement that shows the wide range of sound these two esteemed artists are capable of creating. The lengthy list of instruments used, plus the year it took to assemble, gives an indication that there is a grander modus operandi at play here than the linear works that Kevin Drumm and Jason Lescalleet are known for. CD-1 is made up of seven pieces that run the gamut, with electronic crackle, digital shards of noise, piano mangle, and even dissonant brass clust…
II
The label doesn't want to do notes anymore about his new releases. So we have to write some with our very good English. With these two names you can imagine that for sure the music will be closer to silence than to wall of noise. First we must say that no credit is written on the CD, like it was not important to know who is playing what and first what is played. CD1 is an instrumental piece signed by Radu Malfatti. CD2 by Jürg Frey where instruments are mixed with field recordings. It was r…
Zo Rel Do
Zo Rèl Do is the first volume of a trilogy that explores the sounds of the geographical area between 34°Ν - 42°Ν & 19°Ε - 29°Ε. In this new adventure Mohammad further enrich their monolithic, resonant and deep-dark melodic sound with rhythmic shreds, seismic vibrations that echoes past and future rituals. Volume 2 entitled Lamnè Gastama and Volume 3 Segondè Saleco will be released later in 2014 - early 2015."Greek ‘cha…
Hootonics
MILESTONE! After being mooted for several years, the soundtrack to Arthur and Corinne Cantrill's 1970 feature-length film Harry Hooton is finally available. Features the groundbreaking music/sound created using a variety of musique concrete/tape techniques, collage, and treated recordings of early CSIRO mainframe computers. Hooton was a poet, futurist and thinker associated with the Sydney Push, and a formative influence on the Cantrill's artistic view, as detailed in Arthur's liner notes. T…
El Poeta del Ruido
Recorded in 1978, the instrumental El Poeta Del Ruido by Decibel could be labeled a prog album but don't expect it to sound anything like Yes! This is more in the spirit of Art Zoyd, Univers Zero, Henry Cow, Faust, and Gong, which is to say, quite experimental, a bit dark, complex, and generally highly-structured (though it's also sometimes deliberately disjointed). Classical instruments form an important part of the group's sound, but it is augmented by interesting sound effects and there are e…
Synthesist / Re-Synthesist
Probably our favourite release on RVNG Intl comes from metal duo Lee Buford and Chip King aka The Body produced by Bobby Krlic aka The Haxan Cloak for their crushing 4th album, 'I Shall Die Here'. Abetted by Krlic's visceral production, The Body sound more fearsome and physical than ever before, shaping a series of tracks which only seem to get more intense and nightmarish as the trip takes hold. From the funereal trudge of opener 'To Carry the Seeds of Death Within Me' we pass through successiv…
