Radio Revolten - 30 Days of Radio Art
* 2021 Stock. Language: English * Leading art institutions such as Tate Modern, the São Paulo Biennial, and Documenta have now recognized that an ongoing artistic use of the airwaves has generated an autonomous genre called radio art. Over the last few decades independent radio stations in North America and Europe have provided crucial support for this art form to develop and flourish. In October 2016 the International Radio Art Festival Radio Revolten, organized by community radio station Corax…
Under the Radar - Underground Zines and Self-Publications 1965 / 1975
* 2021 Stock. Language: English * The mid-1960s witnessed a boom in underground and selfpublished works. Hectographs, mimeographs, and offset printing not only allowed for the production of small, lowcost print runs but also promote a unique aesthetic: using wild mock-ups, »messianic amateurs« combined typescript aesthetics, handwriting, scribbled drawings, assemblages of collaged visuals, porn photos, snapshots, and comic strips. The typography consciously frees itself, in parallel to a liberal…
Acts of Voicing - The Poetics and Politics of the Voice
* 2021 Stock. Language: English * Acts of Voicing focuses on the aesthetic, performative, and political significance of the voice, »viewed« from the perspective of visual art, dance, performance, and theory. The book, which also documents the exhibition of the same title that showed at the Württembergischer Kunstverein Stuttgart and the Total Museum of Contemporary Art in Seoul in 2012, explores the diegetic and performative characteristics of the voice. This relates equally to voices that resis…
Noise After Babel - Language Unrestrained
* 2021 Stock. Language: English, Finnish *Noise after Babel is the result of artistic-theoretical research. It examines the multi-accentuality of language as a potential ground for political engagement. Our general metaphor coupling the words »Babel« and »noise« is based on the idea of a perfectly working system of univocality — the phenomenon whereby a linguistic term has only one meaning assigned to it — that functions without coercion (Babel) but which, after an intervention/change (loss of i…
The Legend of Barbara Rubin - Film Culture 80
* 2021 Stock. Language: English * Having entered the New York underground in the 1960s while still a teenager, filmmaker Barbara Rubin quickly became one of its key figures. Her pioneering 1963 double-projection film Christmas on Earth was both sexually provocative and aesthetically innovative. She worked regularly with Jonas Mekas and Andy Warhol, introduced Bob Dylan to Allen Ginsberg, and connected Warhol with The Velvet Underground. During an intense period of activity and travel, Rubin wro…
Scrapbook of the Sixties - Writings 1958 / 2010
* 2021 Stock. Language: English * Andy Warhol, Susan Sontag, John Lennon & Yoko Ono — Jonas Mekas was well acquainted with a great many New York artists. Born in Lithuania, he came to Brooklyn via Germany in 1949 and began shooting his first experimental films there. Mekas developed a form of film diary in which he recorded his daily observations. He became the barometer of the New York art scene and a pioneer of American avant-garde cinema. Every week, starting in 1958 he published his legendar…
I Seem to Live The New York Diaries. vol. 1, 1950-1969
* 2021 Stock. Language: English * I Seem to Live. The New York Diaries, 1950–2011 is Jonas Mekas’s key literary work. The first volume of this magnum opus, covering the period from 1950-69, appears posthumously one year after his death. It stands on an equal footing with his cinematic oeuvre, which he initially developed together with his brother Adolfas after their arrival in New York. In 1954, the two brothers founded Film Culture magazine, and in 1958 Jonas began writing a weekly column for T…
Senza Movente
* Edition of 300 * Quartet Records and GDM present the first vinyl edition of the killer Ennio Morricone score for Senza Movente (aka Sans Mobile Apparent), a 1971 French crime thriller about an investigator (Jean-Louis Trintignant) looking into the murders of seemingly unrelated people, all shot down by a mysterious assassin. Morricone’s score perfectly captures the paranoia taking over the French Riviera with an eerie main theme adorned with the whistling of Alessandro Alessandroni and a disti…

The Simple Plan
* 2021 Stock * Recorded and completed at the end of 2008 and on into the first months of 2009, ´The Simple Plan´ offers a change in focus from previous collaborations between these two artists. Comprising five tracks, ´The Simple Plan´ is purely instrumental, recorded in real-time and subjected to only minimal digital processing. Before recording began, the decision was made to create a simpler, more organic piece of work, using computers only sparingly to record the tracks and help with arrange…

Double LP version. Wewantsounds present a 40th anniversary reissue of Akiko Yano's Gohan Ga Dekitayo, originally released in 1980.

Permana is also active in the group Tarawangsawelas who released their debut album on Morphine recor…
Musica Poliformale
**Very rare original 1971 LP. Few copies available** Rare record on the legendary Sermi label, a nice sound library record, but one from the 'experimental' side of the 70s spectrum by composer AR Luciani - one side haunting chamber music, the other side darker and more avant-garde. Fantastic cover with a great Futurist design
Europa 1930-1940
**Very rare original 1975 LP. Few copies available** Rare record on the collectible Deneb label,aA great early 70s War-themed library LP by Riz AR Luciani! Europa 1930-1940 is crafted with a slightly different feel than usual for the time – almost more straight experimental and darker than the some of the seedier Italian drama sounds of the period.
Barocco 2000
**Very rare original 1972 LP** few copies of this original library album, issued by Maria Teresa Luciani. To quote Finderskeepers that a few years ago reissued her 'Sounds of the City' "Pre-digital, indefinable and genuinely unbelievable. But who is Maria Teresa Luciani? On hearing this record, respected collectors and enthusiasts have suggested "the female answer to Basil Kirchin", or "the Italian Daphne Oram", both with justified cause. Mystery, myth, legend, teacher, artist, inventor, author,…
Situazioni
**Very rare original 1975 LP** few copies, still sealed, of this original library album, issued by the legendary RCA SP Series no less than 45 years ago by Antonino Riccardo Luciani, which includes eleven exclusive compositions, full of stark sounds that often move into atonal areas – sometimes electronic, sometimes spacey – and seemingly repeated using tape tricks or other effects, so that a number of tunes loop back on themselves in a really cool way
