★Psychic Sounds
Sumer Is Icumen In
Orchestrating vivid rites of polished futures.
Apapneas Hypmne Somome
"Psychic Sounds welcomes the premiere publication of Chilean based musician, and animator Anibal Bley’s debut as Lavina Yelb. Originally released as a digital download in 2010, ‘Apapneas Hypmne Somome’ has finally found its way to physical media to bump & bounce in decks directly to your dome. ”Lavina Yelb’s world is inhabited by 8-bit characters, self-flapping blankets that shape-shift into and out of a plethora of cartoon morphologies and stroboscopic blocks and lines of color. Cheap keyboards…
Blazing Worlds
In ‘Drowned World’, J.G. Ballard offers a kind of descriptive visionary harkening of potential planetary evolution,”The solar disc was no longer a well-defined sphere, but a wide expanding ellipse that fanned out across the eastern horizon like a colossal fire-ball, its reflection turned the dead leaden surface of the lagoon into a brilliant copper shield. By noon, less than four hours away, the water would seem to burn.” Recorded during a week long Midwest summer scorcher, Blazing Worlds expand…
Never Use The Same Door Twice
This is the soundtrack to a narrative called 'Never Use the Same Door Twice.'
Empire Illusion
The Attic Magazine's 'Favorite of 2022' "Too hot to handle. Understandable. An inspiring trip with an uncompromising finisher." - Samer El Abassi
Beguiling Isles Trilogy
Sonic travelogue impressions, meditations & reflections on psychoactive experiences, projective imagination, magical speech, dance, and a sense of emergence with the maternal matrix.
"A gradual arc from low key tropical travelogue into full blown fantasy exotica. 'Born Of Earth's Torments' is the most varied of the three, registering somewhere between Martin Denny and Jules Verne. Tracks such as "Body Core" bubble and fizz roots and stems of various traditional styles, as though a transistor rad…
Glyphs & Gods
Glyphs & Gods is a “record that came to be through a channeling of sound in which Tristan & Titania were merely the vessels.” Enigmatic Belgian producer Tristan Vloeberghs (Ohm Meta, WAVradio, Friendship Tapes, Modus Operandi/ Out Innerspace) and Eva Van Deuren (Orphan Fairytale) allure listeners by way of illuminating drone and guiding harmonies that harkens in movements of shimmering reverberation, bent horns of hallowed chambers, animal breaths, and voice echos coming together into blissful s…
Quasimodo the Street Sweeper
"What remarks can recall the pampered page when the subject shines through so many shaken seams? The remarks are for the producer of Quasimodo The Streetsweeper, the mysterious, though constantly revealing, CF, presenting himself here as Universal Cell Unlock. Christopher Forgues of Brown Recluse Alpha, Mark Lord, Kites, and author of blazetastic comic books –ever checkout Power Masters? What remarks could remain after all that? However, one still finds this fresh pile of inviting and mature mus…
Sonic Fermentations
**200 copies** "The moon is out and it's time for experiments in the Pacific Northwest. Enter the abode of Smegma Laboratories, dwelling of Ju Suk Reet Meate & Oblivia (The Tenses) whom are active in Los Angeles Free Music Society (LAFMS) notable collaborators with Merzbow, Wolf Eyes, John Wiese and infamous rock critic Richard Meltzer. It's late in the evening and they have invited fellow Smegmateer David Morgan along with synthesized sculptors Brenna Murphy and Birch Cooper of MSHR, and psyche…
Hydrorion Remnants
Embassador Dulgoon is known for his intrepid contributions for the world-traversing experimental science ensemble Nonlocal Society, however the eccentric Chilean multi-instrumentalist points us in a very different direction for his most recent revelation entitled Hydrorion Remnants. Dulgoon delivers a fantastic voyage by way of transportive electro-acoustic elements, roaming crypto-zoological sampling, and soaring synthesized melodies that all work to create a truly unique escapade. Burrowed sys…
Perfect Prey
While stumbling through the Shiek's Bazaar of the Bizarre, I came across
Idaho Joe serenading a flea circus under a rug. Corum hovered nearby
conducting with tea tree oil toothpicks. Fortunately, the tape was
running. The smoke is thick but you can make out some shapes in the
haze. Joe seems to be floating through the same wing of the ethno
forgery museum that Alvarius B called home. There are some seasonings
that taste a little like Tower Recordings with mashed potatoes. This all
comes h…
Civilization
Adele H is the experimental recording project of Italian singer and songwriter Adele Pappalardo. Using just her voice and a Brazilian tambourine to create powerful melodies and hypnotic rhythms that feel primordial and instinctive blending soul and psychedelia.
Divine Horsemen
Maya Deren journeyed to Haiti to make a film of ritual dances, instead, she came to be accepted as a Voudoun initiate, whose devotees commune with the cosmic powers through invocation, offerings, song and dance of the Voudoun pantheon of deities, or Loa, whom are witnessed as being living gods and goddesses, actually taking possession of their devotees. Deren describes the relationship between magic, science and religion bringing a uniquely lyrical voice to her narrative. This paints a multi-tex…
Inventions For Radio: The Dreams
One of the coolest compositions we've ever heard from Delia Derbyshire – a special set of electronic compositions based around dreams, with lots of tape work and electronics from Delia, plus loads of eerie recitations as well! Each track features someone describing a dream – at a level that would be spooky enough on its own – but then the voice is often manipulated slightly, sometimes repeated – and mixed with the kind of dark, moody elements we love in some of Derbyshire's more instrume…
