Full Spectrum Records welcomes the mighty Tongue Depressor into the fold with the release of a new collaboration with long-time friend and fellow-spirited sonic explorer John McCowen: ‘Blame Tuning.’
*2024 stock* Full Spectrum Records presents a beguiling new work from Notice Recordings co-owner Evan Lindorff-Ellery: ‘Church Recordings From Monhegan.’ These recordings document Evan’s encounter with the Monhegan Community Church, located on a tiny island off the coast of Maine, during a family visit in the summer of 2021. The church on Monhegan Island—seemingly always open, allowing one to step into its quaint, echoey, still room, the ocean and bird sounds faded in the distance—presented an a…
Tip! *2024 stock* Full Spectrum rides again with a very special long player from our “house band,” Tender Crust, with the release of their latest set of recordings – ’Convexity.’ Now a quartet – with the inclusion of bass clarinetist Rebecca Hubsher, alongside returning band members Gretchen Korsmo, Carl Ritger, and Andrew Weathers – the group traveled to the far reaches of northern Colorado to record in the otherworldly acoustics of Rangely’s Tank Center for Sonic Arts. Located on the outskirts…
2024 Stock. Don Cherry lived in Sweden 1965-1985. This is a live recording made in Stockholm 1968 (and some tracks from 1971) that was supposed to be released in the beginning of the 70's but that has never been released until now! Don Cherry plays together with the best Swedish (as well as Turkish) jazz musicians from that time. World jazz or Multi Kulti, Don Cherry didn't think in genres. At Caprice Records we are very happy and proud that we can now release this music, both on CD and LP for t…
2024 (lucky) stock, totally sold-out at source since many years. Limited edition of 300 copies, pressed on 180 gram vinyl. Oxtirn is a truly unique and powerful blend of free energy, modern composition, and mechanical music that defies genre. With two proper full-lengths and an array of self-releases under his belt, Eli Keszler has turned to ESP-Disk for the release of Oxtirn, his third, most composed, and large scale effort to date. Oxtirn captures Keszler and crew at their most frenetic, and a…
"Enid Valu normally relies on lenses and light to express herself. Known to create stunning visuals, to capture sonic worlds with her preferred instrument (the camera), the US-born, Munich-based photographer and video artist has been working with various bands, shooting concerts, creating music videos, visualizing what she hears. However, now that she’s become an indispensable part of the local scene, she for once ditches the cam and steps up to the mic instead – appearing as featured vocalist o…
It’s not often that Aerophonic Records has put out recordings by bands that are first-time groupings. There are a few notable ones, including AR024 and 026 – Of Things Beyond Thule Volume 1 and 2 featuring Joe McPhee, Tomeka Reid, Brandon Lopez, and Paal Nilssen-Love. Another one was AR029 Stringers and Struts with Jeff Parker, Ingebrigt Håker Flaten, and Jeremy Cunningham. Those lineups and performances were just too stellar to let them pass without being documented (and those records are all l…
“A vinyl-based 'plane of consistency' able to fold, deform, and compress time and space so deftly that one has the impression of hearing echoes of distant worlds and times – 'everything everywhere all at once.'”
Through the eye of the pinkish gate... Soft lights... cool evening breezes, toxic fumes, burnt champagne and supper for one... love and longing...disenchantment... and the murky meanderings of Pinkcourtesyphone. It is impossible for us to supply all the recipe ingredients needed for this, the sounds of soured romance, but we can at least dish up the musical setting on a deluxe digital porcelain platter (with a just few hairline cracks)... but only for an hour. A gourmet offering befitting a pall…
With Bodies, Australian composer Madeleine Cocolas unlocks an embodied tidal force. Asmany of her antipodean compatriots would appreciate, water plays a huge part in the under-standing of Australia. Vast fluid bodies spill out from its shores and the dynamism and intensityof these oceans - physically and psychologically - act as a guide to the forms of this record.Like these fluid bodies themselves, the record shifts between violent ruptures, as waves of soundcollide, before giving way to passag…
*300 copies limited edition* An electro-acoustic diary of the Fukushima family that records the "time and sound" exchanged between a parent and child in Niigata, using shakuhachi and a computer to respond. Reishu Fukushima began performing and improvising as a shakuhachi player after encountering the Muramatsu-style shakuhachi on Sado in the 1990s. His son, Satoshi Fukushima, explores the possibilities of interactive and unknown electronic acoustics with players through real-time computer proces…
Step into the ethereal soundscape of Mark Vernon's LP, "The Dramaturgy of Decay." Reminiscent of early fears surrounding recording technology, the album explores ghostly voices, distorted and elusive. Vernon's sonic cinema mirrors the decay found in ruined films, capturing the essence of disappearing places and voices. Amidst themes of death and environmental destruction, the album maintains a delicate balance with humor and familiarity. Through snippets of reworked audio letters, it unveils a s…
Formed in London in 1977 by Mark Perry and Alex Fergusson, then editors of the punk fanzine Sniffin' Glue, Alternative TV was a post-punk group known for incorporating reggae rhythms and pushing the boundaries of the definition of punk toward the experimental and avant-garde. Their first album, The Image Has Cracked, came out originally in 1978 and is a wholly unique piece of British post-punk. Beloved by John Peel, and close confidantes of Throbbing Gristle, Alternative TV is one of the most or…
*300 copies limited release* "A new EP from Troth, following up their brilliant third album Forget The Curse. An EP of sorts, as these six wonderful tracks clocks in at over 31 minutes! A double one-disc EP? No matter what, Idle Easel sees the band in a transitional period, as the duo of Amelia Besseny and Cooper Bowman left Newcastle for Hobart, Tasmania during the recording sessions. The record has this heavy feeling of leaving something behind for something new, a feeling that is kind of boos…
*200 copies limited edition* On the new album "Small Hours" by Tyresta, subtlety and intimacy intertwine harmoniously, resulting in a listening experience that continually unveils novel intricacies upon each subsequent listen. As the title ostensibly implies, the album's resonance transcends its sonic realm, particularly when savored during the late hours, wherein its evocative potential finds its zenith. In a musical tapestry where every thread is meticulously woven, "Small Hours" stands not m…
2024 Stock. Asmus Tietchens' Die Nacht aus Blei is a novel by German writer Hans Henny Jahnn (1894–1959), first published 1956. – The special edition of the CD was designed by german artist Christian Blau. It can only be opened by damaging it. Atmospheric sheets of sound, slowly becoming more differentiated, with a growing number of more accentuated noises: dripping water, a crying human, distorted voice fragments, finally culminating into a mostly comprehensible spoken text. A journey through …
This newest edition of The Hermetic Organ is a beautiful and evocative tribute to one of John Zorn’s biggest mentors, the pioneer West Coast visionary, Terry Riley. Performed Mat San Francisco’s historic Grace Cathedral during the epic concert series presented by Fred Barnes at the Great American Music Hall in September 2023 for Zorn’s 70th birthday, this is one of the most touching and personal of all Zorn’s organ recitals.
Present in the audience were a large number of the composer’s closest a…
