Unbeknownst the The Participants at Hand
"Unbeknownst to the Participants at Hand" is Drekka’s second offering in a trilogy of full-length releases on Dais Records. Continuing his work with memory not only as a subject but also as a process, Michael Anderson has culled many of the sounds on this record from the past. But this is not a record of rehashed material or remixes. Rather, Drekka's music is made through continually delving into an archive, digging up and repurposing old recordings, live performances, and forgotten snippets of …
Jazz Piano
Roman pianist and film composer Armando Trovajoli scored over 300 feature films during his remarkable career. Starting out in the 1930s as a player in Orchestra Rocco Grasso and Sesto Carlini’s beloved jazz orchestra, in 1949 he represented Italy at the Festival du Jazz de Paris and he began composing films three years later. Jazz Piano, released by RCA in 1959, saw Trovajoli fronting a quartet with three of his regular orchestra members, namely drummer Sergio Conti, bassist/arranger Berto Pisan…
Metti Una Sera A Cena
Quite possibly the greatest Morricone score ever – and one whose dreamy bossa-inflected title theme has been covered a number of times over the years (most recently by the group Balanco!) From the first minutes of the album, you'll instantly recognize the main theme – as it's swells of voices and lilting keyboards are among one of Morricone's best signatures from the time. Don't worry about getting bored because you may already know it, though – as the album has loads of other beautiful …
Nervous Rattles
**Limited edition of 300** KRAMP is the solo project of Stijn Wybouw, a young artist involved in many visual and musical projects that often overlap and which share an unflinchingly honest approach as well as penchant for crimson hues. As KRAMP, Wybouw assumes a red-faced identity to unleash raw machinations that take on ceremonial underpinnings through coarse compositions, murky drones, and warped vocalizations, all churned through the marshy fuzz of various tape recorders.After a slew of self-…
Symplegmata
**Limited edition of 300** Hailing from Oaxaca, Mexico and currently based in Brussels, Vica Pacheco crafts a rich sound world that comes alive in surprising manifold turns. On the heels of Vocamorphosis, her stunning electroacoustic piece commissioned by France Culture where Ferrari-esque divagations venture into the untamed fancies of an imaginary wilderness, her debut record Symplegmata transposes a continuous exploration of unearthed sound narratives into briefer vignettes that, together, al…
Zweikommasieben #21
Over the years, it has become clear that the “thing” that continues to captivate us is in flux, as are its possible definitions. Various contributions to the current issue of this magazine attest to this permanent development, too. And whatever our “thing” might be called or actually might be, the following has become clearer in the recent past: the boundaries separating different artistic practices have been dissolving more and more. Also this second assertion seems to be present again in the i…
Revolutionary List (3) Glastonbury 50
**Edition of 40** In 2020 the world-famous Glastonbury Festival was cancelled due to a worldwide plague. To mark what would’ve been the festival’s 50th anniversary, the Revolutionary List project assembled a list containing the names of all artists to have performed at the festival in its history (minus ‘Glastonbury Fair’ in 1971, ‘protected by free admission, free milk, and different organisers’). Occupying the dowsing line of the Pyramid Stage as a makeshift execution site, the Museo De La Bom…

The Koln ConZert Live 2008
**In process of stocking** Recorded live at the Stadtgarten -2008. Composed and played by Merzbow and Richard Pinhas. In 2008, guitarist and rock electronics innovator Richard Pinhas performed in Koln a duo concert with notorious 'noise' artist Merzbow. Merzbow’s collaboration with French pioneer Richard Pinhas features some of his best music and gleefully amplifies the psychedelic tendencies of both composers.It is fascinating to hear these two imposing figures interact.
Plateforme # 3
**In process of stocking** After two albums on Baskaru with Felix Kubin, Lawrence English, Gianluca Becuzzi (2014) and later Francisco López, Tom Recchion, Christian Zanési (2016), Laurent Perrier continues his Plateforme series by inviting French musician David Fenech. Plateforme is a concept, a restrictive framework Perrier imposed on himself: to create an electronic music piece using solely a set of sound recordings provided by a "collaborator". “I simply asked the musicians to send me raw st…
Growl
**In process of stocking** Another fantastic and explosive album by Japanese saxophonist Ryoko Ono who is a regular collaborator of Ruins, Richard Pinhas and Acid Mothers Temple. The four virtuosos Ryoko Ono (alto sax), Kota Ueji (drums) Tsuyoshi Hayashi (guitar) and Yuji Muto (guitar) have recorded this album composed by Ryoko Ono. The perfect symbiosis between the musicians allows them to create an amazing sound full of power and energy which transcends the aforementioned genres.
RG Rough - Makoto Kawabata
**In process of stocking** A collaboration between Makoto Kawabata ( leader of the legendary Japanese psychedelic band Acid Mothers Temple) and the French/British multi-instrumentalist RG Rough. The pair create an unsettling sonic jungle in which Makoto's guitar drones multiply, intertwine and collide with a wide variety of electronic and concrete sounds and percussion. On two occasions a soft, sleepy sounding voice comes out of nowhere and whispers a strange lullaby which soon disappears under …
The Reflection
**In process of stocking** The Japanese female singer Cotton Casino used to be the singer of Acid Mothers Temple, the ultimate Japanese psychedelic band, several members of which provide backing on this album. Cotton's voice is fragile and emotional. The overall mood tends towards sadness and melancholy while the music hovers between acid folk and post rock. Most of the songs are sensuous and ethereal, like soundtracks to imaginary movies. Other songs may come as a surprise...

Eventi
**Very rare original 1978 LP, few copies available.** The great fame of Antonino Riccardo Luciani, a musician and composer from Palermo, is due above all to his work for television and to one in particular, namely the music for the Almanacco del giorno dopo (Almanac of the Coming Day), a famous program that has been broadcast on the first channel of RAI - Italian Television for over twenty years. Chanson Balladée, this is the title, is for many people an indelible memory of a television now disa…
