Beautiful One Day, Perfect The Next
Homespun cassette label Regional Bears moves away from its preferred format with a debut vinyl release from Philadelphia-based sound artist Christian Mirande. Previously releasing works on labels such as Hanson Records, Recital and Vatrine, his work is often characterised as textural or atmospheric and deals with themes such as memory, loss, and faith.

John Cage Variations + Four6
Temporary Super Offer! "I ask how CALATO's use of graphic scores help them break down the divisions between contemporary composition and improvisation? “We started as a noise improvisation band,” they respond. “We spent several years playing together without any kind of parts or scores, just working deeply on listening to each other, reacting and generating a kind of togetherness that made it possible to create live music in a very fast and intuitive way.” Then they started investigating diffe…

Resonance Gathering
Resonance Gathering is a double LP and book that documents a large-scale performance project on the music of composer Pauline Oliveros (1932-2016) that occurred in Canada between 2017-2019. The project gathered nineteen interdisciplinary performers (mostly non-musicians) to interpret Oliveros’s score To Valerie Solanas and Marilyn Monroe in Recognition of Their Desperation (1970)—a work for sound and light that was written in response to the anxiety and political unrest of 1968 in America. Organ…
Vipera Nido Di
Tip! "Vipera Nido Di" is the third solo release by Cristiano Carosi recorded during 2021/2022. For this album he uses synthesizers, prepared tapes, tape loops and analog effects manipulating the sound events into tiles of a combinatory game generating temporary space and language.

Le Bargy
I started working on this new solo in the spring of 2020. Mostly outdoors, as I couldn't work at home. The idea caught on and I presented a first version of the project in a forest in the Lot region (South-West of France), during the Concerts Dispersés series in August 2020. I have continued to play concerts, keeping in mind the idea of playing as much as possible outside the usual music venues, in spaces with remarkable acoustics. That's how I came up with the idea of Le Bargy: to present music…

Learn To Talk
* Temporary nice price * Reissue of a true avantgarde-rock classic: Skeleton Crew were the maverick duo of Ex-Henry Cow guitarist Fred Frith and the great late cellist Tom Cora. Formed during one of Frith's early American residencies, Skeleton Crew was a legendary two man crew who somehow - in real time, managed to play all their instruments, cello, bass, electric guitar, violin, vocals - as well as, drum parts dislocated between the two of them. No one sounded like Skeleton Crew, ever. An unpre…
