Xerrox
CD version. 'Xerrox is the new, self-contained project of Alva Noto, which like his transall-series (Transrapid, Transvision and Transspray, Raster-noton 61-63, 2002-2004) is intended to be released in five parts during the next years. On Xerrox, Alva Noto works with samples from muzak, advertising, soundtracks and entertainment programs. These sounds we hear randomly in everyday life and thereby they become an always present and available public domain. With Xerrox Alva Noto manipulates these r…
Transspray
Part 3 of 3** This release is presented in three cds: Transrapid, Transvision and finally, Transspray. Across the 3 installments special emphasis is put on the rhythmic aspects of minimalism, utilising Carsten Nicolai's maverick minimal intricacies in brilliant white surroundings. There's a crisp clarity to Nicolai's construction's that's very hard to dissect - you know that you shouldn't be able to relate to this music's sparse trajectory emotionally, and yet, in between moments of microscopic …

Neumatica
Alud is Pablo Rega: home made electronic devices and Alfredo Costa Monteiro: pick-ups on turntable. Recorded in June 2005, Barcelona.
Raw Sangudo
Allison Cameron's compositions can be characterized as rigorous forms within which specific sound worlds are explored. She experiments with the physicality of sound on various instruments, using pithy material to exploit instrumental colours. Most of her works to date have been written for a variety of chamber ensembles encompassing both traditional and unusual groups of instruments.
Rumeur (for solo accordion)
Alfredo Costa Monteiro, accordion. Recorded by Ferran Fages, March 2003 in Barcelona. Rumeur was conceived in continuity; but not in the narrative sense; each piece was developed independently, but always with a common preoccupation: The timbric continuity of each of them and the way it comes about, intuitively directed by a kind of sonorous alliteration. rumeur is about the manifestation of sound in its fluidity, its prolongment, or, better said, its sequence, in the same way that a rumour, by …
Billowy Mass
'Alejandra Salinas and Aeron Bergman began making sound in the mid 1990s in New York City where they were among the first labels to take advantage of affordable cd-r technology to distraibute non-commercial works. They soon became known by their early use of folk and acoustic electronic sounds. Educated in the fine arts, by 2000 they were invited by art institutions to make large scale installations that included sound as an essential element. In 2002 they won an Award of Distinction in Digital …
Proposte Sonore
Seven electronic compositions from the end of the 60s by the soundscape pioneer Albert Mayr (b. 1943), incredible experimentations from near 40 years ago sounding so “contemporary”, today more than ever.“In the fifties and sixties of the past century electro-acoustic music was a very élitist affair; professional equipment was expensive, not easy to find and could be afforded - in sufficient quantity to build a full-scale studio - only by institutions such as universities or broadcasting corporat…
The Evan Dando of noise?
Five blasts of Licht, from the excoriating to the spiritually uplifting. Mr Licht should need no introduction, this is minimalist mantra music for the end of the millennium.
Antiguos Dolmenes del Paleolitico
“Antiguos Dólmenes del Paleolítico (“Ancient Palaeolithic Dolmens”) is a composition in four parts created exclusively with processed no-input feedback and inspired by these stone monuments. It was created in early 2004 and is the first full-length solo CD from Argentinian composer Alan Courtis, a founding member of the group Reynols. Courtis currently lives in Buenos Aires, and has toured extensively in USA, Europe, Japan & Latin America collaborating with artists such as: Pauline Oliveros, Dam…
Volt
"If we recognize that each composer tends to privilege one dimension of musical discourse or another (for example: timbre, harmony, or instrumental virtuosity) in his work and thus conjure up a ‘style,’ listening to the music of Alain Thibault is like listening to a game of rhythms but mostly a game of attacks. The constant and abrupt contrast between silence (or an harmonic background serving a similar function) and the sound itself—cutting and incisive, percussive, vigorous and energeti…

'1er cahier d'enluminures' (1987). 'La trans-solitaire' (1984). 'Au loin, l'artifice' (1978). 'Le lait - le sang' (1996). '3ème cahier d'enluminures' (1990) (extract). 'Born in 1942 in Le Mans. He ended in the middle of the 60s a classic training at the Conservatoire de Paris (CNSM) with Elsa Barraine, Olivier Messiaen, Marcel Beaufils, and an experimental training at the ORTF (Pierre Schaeffer and the GRM).'
L’Annecy de pierre

Petites musiques de bruits
Utilisant l'art de la boucle et de la récupération, Alain de Filippis crée un orchestre de bruits qu'il dirige avec virtuosité. Série II.
Ab irato
Perhaps best known for his work alongside Philippe Blanchard (aka Lieutenant Caramel) in Denier Du Culte, Basso reveals himself here to be an exceptional exponent of uneasy listening. Tidal pools of atonal harmonics slowly whirl you into bins of crushed metal that fall away to reveal overlapping tides of low-lying thrumming whirr which in turn bleed away to reveal stochastic stormclouds of blips and plinks. Richly involving work that thrums with insectile density.

Impulsioni
Ákos Rózmann was born in Budapest, in 1939, where he studied organ and composition at the Liszt Academy. From 1979 to 1974 he studied composition at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm. Since 1978 he has been organist at the catholic cathedral in Stockholm. Epithets which come to mind after listening to Rózmann´s music are "powerful", "raw", "monumental", "impassioned". He is a master of large forms. Exerpts from the booklet text (by Hans Gunnar Peterson): Impulsioni I, II, III (1973-74) ("I…
Til odslig horisont
Til odslig horisont evolves slowly and quietly over forty-five minutes and rewards the listener's attention with a great listening experience, manifold soundscapes and atmospheres melting into one another. As often, describing this work will not do it justice, and so I propose that you make yourself comfortable, close your eyes and simply listen. You will enjoy it without an eloquent description.'B. Günter
Time drops
2000 release. This mini-CD follows on from Akemi Ishijima's previous electroacoustic composition on Variations 2 -- A London Compilation. It includes one new piece and a reissue of "Ab Ovo," previously released on 5 Composers Second Coming on Fylkingen. The two pieces explore a broad range of traditional electronic techniques, both subtle and powerful. "Time Drops" (2000) -- a single stroke of a bell, in its decay, sometimes evokes a sense of infinity in our mind. "Time Drops" is an attempt to e…
