Eis Heauton
Berlin electronic duo Driftmachine’s new release is called Eis Heauton – a Greek term for being in “a conversation with oneself”. This reference highlights the fact that Driftmachine is not composing music in a classical sense here, as they did on their debut album Nocturnes.Instead, three of the four tracks have been developed from so-called self-generating patches: the duo of Florian Zimmer (Saroos) and Andreas Gerth (Tied & Tickled Trio) were only framing technical parameters and subsequently…
La Cathédrale Morte
Closely mirroring the alchemical, organic processes of decomposition, Vox Populi! acousmatic mass of burred found sound, tape loops and intoxicated electronics forges a dissonant, electro-acoustic language and syntax that can be taken as a precedent for the industrial techno and dark ambient genres that emerged in their wake
Myscitismes
Bristling with youthful innovation and rebellion that demands to be lived in and explored, this long awaited, first time stand-alone vinyl reissue of Vox Populi!’s legendary 1983 cult masterpiece, 'Myscitismes', is easily one of the most exciting reissues of the year.

Anthology 1983-1993
Last copies. After the recent retrospective dedicated to the Come Organisation label, Vinyl On Demand returns with an unbeatable summary of lost recordings (as well as a complete retrospective of her recorded material dating back to the 1983-1993 decade) from the mysterious and cultishly desired Maria Zerfall, aka Christine Weyrether from Düsseldorf, a legendary figure of the German Industrial scene of the '80s.Going deep into their under-the-counter channels, Vinyl On Demand have again outdone …
The Vanity Records Tape Box

Dali China
The prolific Kink Gong (aka Laurent Jeanneau) returns in a unique duet with one of the most prominent artists of the Chinese avantgardist scene Li Daiguo. Kink Gong and Li Daiguo first met in Chengdu (capital of Sichuan Province, China) while playing the same night at the Jahbar music venue. A few months later, as they become neighbors in Cai Cun, a village near the old town of Dali (Yunnan), Kink Gong begins recording Daiguo playing Pipa, Cello and Zheng. He then proceeded to deconstruct these …
Mashed On Pills
**100 copies** Formed from a bond that stretches across time and space, from the rain-soaked Lancastrian hills of Manchester over towards the icy shores of Stockholm, via North down South London and a shared admiration for the hidden reverse of Nurse With Wound and Coil, the concrete surrealism of dead air time grime from the turn of the Millennium and an unhealthy drop of teeth-chattering ecstasy. The Iceman Junglist Kru's debut recording proper distills the influence of all of these sectors of…
Sequenze Per Raffigurazioni Mentali #5
**43 copies** Giovanni Donadini a.k.a. Ottaven is a versatile artist, illustrator, musician and fashion designer. Looking at his drawings, serigraphs, clothes, fanzines and records is easy to see how everything is extremely connected by a common thread, a strict consistency and a deep study that affect both his works as his lifestyle. This tape release on Volum E Bootleg is the 5th chapter in the Sequenze Per Raffigurazioni Mentali series, a block of compositions recorded in Sicily during summer…
Enfant Terrible Vol. 1
**2020 stock** The cartoon composition Enfant Terrible was conceived as part of Norwegian cartoonist and artist Christopher Nielsen’s project where he sought to express himself in as many art forms as possible within one year, 2014 – all for the purpose of being listed in the Guinness Book of Records. Enfant Terrible would thus have covered the fifth art form; music. And here lays the proof that Enfant Terrible is a composition: four performers within the field of electronic music have interpret…
Apophenia Cloud Travel Apparatus
**100 copies, transparent blue vinyl** "These tracks are based on time stretched sounds created using my first, early attempt at programming a granular synthesizer in Pure Data. For this synthesizer, I inadvertently implemented a typical “beginners-error" in the algorithm, by basing the "scroll function" (which reads pre-recorded audio files at varying speeds) on a “control" object, rather than a “dsp”-object. This causes a discrepancy between the control data (which transmits control messages i…
Jacopo Plays Benassi
**white vinyl, includes booklet** "Jacopo Plays Benassi is a performance where the photographer plays his body with radio-controlled microphones then samples them. At the same time, he takes photographs projected on a wall in real-time. The inner need to produce sounds not knowing how to play any instrument comes from the work realized in his former club, BTOMIC, where he met underground artists from all over the world. The album that comes from this work was created in collaboration with two gr…
Rhapsodie sur Fond Vert
Six long years have passed since Pierre-Yves Macé's last album on John Zorn's prestigious Composer Series.

Monocosm
**100 copies** "Calum Gunn is a Scottish artist and programmer living in Berlin. Monocosm is an attempt to slip between zones, to capture a recurrent sensation of a space in time extended."
Shadow Position
"There are 4 tracks, 4 different windows to look out from our studio in Düsseldorf into the street and their different layers of sound. 4 horizons, 4 spy holes in the door, 4 eyes and 4 shopping windows. 4 landscapes.Witness the electric city and the power house. Strafe F.R. is sitting inside the fuse box. The electric chirp of the night. The socket in which we sleep. The dog comes, in order to devour Strafe F.R. First he eats the rebellion and next he bites the Strafe.The house and the body, bo…
Ruído(s)
Sometimes you know it’s coming, sometimes it’s unexpected, but the time to hang your boots will always come. It’s better when you have total control, even better if you end up on a high (or on a low). After seven years of sonic interferences, calibrating the soundscape of field recordings and helping to recreate the old sounds of today, Gonzo is retiring from music. It’s a goodbye, yeah, and a well-crafted one.But Ruído(s) doesn’t sound like an intentional one. You won’t listen to it on any of …

Sober Mario Bros.
**100 copies** Originally recorded in 2008, this quirky set of five untitled tracks is just now seeing the light of day from the trio of collaborators: Andy Bolus, Anla Courtis and Sigtryggur Berg Sigmarsson. Sober Mario Bros., in a tiny edition of only 100 copies, is a collision of ambient and industrial noise. In short order this clash starts to sound like white water at high tide leading to open pockets of fragmentary silences and restrained roars. The impressive way in which it folds in on i…
