Asmus Tietchens is a sound artist and composer from Hamburg, Germany. He
got interested in musique concrete by listening to a German radio
programme when he was 10 years old. In 1965, at the age of 18, Asmus
started experimenting with tape loops and turned them into musical
collages. Soon, the use of synthesizers was added. In 1980 his debut
album Nachtstücke was released, produced by Peter Baumann of
Tangerine Dream. This was soon followed by a series of albums of
electronic pop music fo…
Present The Delta Nudes
Before The Residents became the Residents, they were a group of friends
from the San Francisco bay area. On this collection, a lot of different
people are involved. No one remembers how many or who they were. The
recordings were made in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Some of the
people bonded into The Residents. Some of them did not. Four albums were
recorded by these Pre-sidents: The Warner Bros Album, The Ballad of
Stuffed Trigger, Rusty Coathangers for the Doctor and Baby Sex. None of …
The Lepore Extrusion
Born in Pontypridd, South Wales to a musical family, Thighpaulsandra
developed an interest in modern classical and electronic music at an
early age. Whilst still in school he formed an avant-garde rock group
incorporating influences from his admiration for experimental music
pioneers John Cage and Karlheinz Stockhausen. Through experiments with
his group The Rachel Dennis Sisters he was offered a job in a local
recording studio which eventually led to him becoming the manager and
house en…
Revival II - The Electronic Tapes 1979-1982
Some artists like Cluster, Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze have become quite popular and synonymous with the Kosmische Electronic music that rode the wave alongside the Krautrock explosion, but also nestled within the explosion of creative electronic music emerging from Germany in the early 70s, others have been left in the vaults of obscurity and discovered only by those jumping into their time capsules and searching high and low for some of the less heard acts. And obscure does not mean for …
Bichon Frisé
The cassette release Bichon Frisé features 4 tracks of atmospheric and eerie New Age music, made by Børre Mølstad, Danielle Dahl, Niklas Adam and Anders Vestergaard at the beautiful peninsula "Nesodden" outside of Oslo back in 2013. The sound is both soothing and easy listening but with an underlying feeling of hallucinatory horror; perhaps not unlike the popular dog breed after whom it is named.
Ground
Brussels’ based media saboteur Yann Leguay operates with conscious ambiguity at the intersection of music, sound art and installation. Depending on the context you could as well describe him as a performance artist, a musician or a visual artist. He has little interest for such definitions and feels all the more unobstructed in his work, ready to hop from one domain to the other freely. On this release for Tanuki records he presents two contrasted pieces. The A-side, entitled “Here I am / A port…
The Dark Side Of The Moog Vol. 4
In 1994, Klaus Schulze was able to look back on a long, successful and highly influential career, but he was also able to embrace the new.He was in the midst of his 'digital phase', fascinated by sampling technology, and had a clear idea of where he could go with the technology, which resulted in albums like Beyond Recall; the Royal Festival Hall recordings; The Dome Event and even to an extent his opera Totentag.By contrast Peter Kuhlman a.k.a Pete Namlook had just started. In 1992 he had found…
Changes
Changes was the first solo-album of Peter Sjardin, made in the mid/late 70s "He played all instruments by himself: percussion, guitar and keyboard. The recording came from the late seventies, 1978 according to some sources. The title song is based on a Group 1850 song Verandering (change in Dutch) that had been composed in the late sixties, But doesn’t appear until 1975 on the Group 1850 album Live. Changes was never officially released and the reason for it has gone in the mist of time. Could i…

Bluejeans & Moonbeams
"About the best one can say about 1974's Bluejeans & Moonbeams is that it's not as bad as his other release of the year, Unconditionally Guaranteed. In fact, there are two tracks, the pretty reverie Observatory Crest and the stomping blues-rocker Party of Special Things to Do, that are actually quite good. The rest of the album, however, is fairly dire. Recorded with anonymous studio musicians who are clearly out of their league and glossed to a soul-less polish by producer Andy DiMartino, Bluej…
Collection in Formaldeide
**Limited to 50 hand numbered copies** In 1994 the activity of the Slaughter Productions becomes more and more frantic, releasing countless tapes. In the same year, leaving four important works of Atrax Morgue on cassette, the first of which is “Collection In Formaldeide’’. The tape, limited to only thirty copies, is accompanied by a syringe needle attached with scotch, signifying that this music would be “an injection of death’’. All this is packaged in a transparent box for VHS, containing a p…
Red Box
** numbered edition of 300 copies, deluxe wooden box** Marco Corbelli’s artistic journey began in the early 90’s. Under the pseudonym of Marco Rotula, he started to release a series of fanzines in A5 format. The first was “The pleasure agony”, followed by “Sick” and “Murders”. The aesthetics of these first fanzines were very sophisticated and the content deals with topics that will follow Marco Corbelli throughout his artistic career: sadism, schizophrenia, insanity, murder, psychosis, necrophil…
Voice and Sky
"Voice and Sky provides both a look at a previous work, On the Breeze – a series of public space interventions and text / sound installation – and an extension of that work in the form of a book and CD publication. My view is that an installation or any kind of work dealing with the idea of space – be it a public space or a designated art space – can only be fully experienced by being in that space first hand. In the case of On the Breeze, using material gathered hiking extensively through the S…
Uivo Zebra
When improvisers turn to electricity and imposing volume levels, the results are sometimes as intense as they are tedious, because they forget that it can quickly become a stodgy, lumbering mess that bleeds out way too soon. Not so here, as the musicians of Uivo Zebra have the experience, but also (and more importantly) the awareness that the most enduring results are found when guts, self-knowledge, shared vision and discipline are kept in rigorous balance. Which needn’t imply it becomes safe o…
