November
August & November are two albums by Mike Majkowski. One acoustic and one electronic, both with their own distinctive atmosphere. Each album contains pieces which are closely linked in terms of approach and structure. Listeners are invited to delve into the pieces and explore the details and subtleties. The titles of the two albums refer to the cover art, by Łukasz Rychlicki. Two photos taken from the same place at different times. One in August, and one in November.
Mike Majkowski is a double ba…
Multiple Musics
**500 copies** Previously unreleased live recording from the Ranta archives. The creative duo of Michael Ranta and Takehisa Kosugi performed many times in the 1970’s and 1980’s. On this outstanding performance, recorded at the Japanese Culture Institute in Cologne in 1987, the application of an advanced multi delay system, independently utilized by both players, plays a central role. The smartly treated cyclic tapestry of the delay system (modulated, transformed, harmonized) injects additional d…
Teared Up

This. That. I.
*2024 stock* "This is a work for the art exhibition "36 Degrees North" opening in September 2021 at Space 1302 in Lanzhou. It was released as a cd with the album. These three pieces are improvised electronic music. The instrument used is a circuit board the size of a mahjong tile. It was originally used as a miniature microphone amplifier, and I touched it with my hand to short-circuit it and make it sound.
The first and third songs were of equal length, while the structures were completely diff…
phase/transitions
Triple Point is an improvising trio whose core instrumentation is soprano saxophone, greis/electronics and V-accordion. The name refers to the point of equilibrium on a phase plot, which acts as metaphor for our improvisational dialogue. Their musical interaction is centered around an interplay between acoustics, physically-modeled acoustics (v-accordion) and electronics. Van Nort captures the sound of the other performers on-the-fly, either transforming these in the moment to create blended tex…
Coexistence
With the album “Coexistense”, the adventurous Finnish musician completes her remarkable Sonority trilogy – and invites us all to listen to other voices in search of a common humanity. Johanna Elina Sulkunen has demonstrated the power of her voice in numerous contexts. Both in the experimental vocal ensemble IKI and in various collaborations with names such as Blixa Bargeld, Michiyo Yagi, Tomasz Stanko, August Rosenbaum, the Copenhagen-based Finnish vocalist has gained recognition as an expressiv…

Rife
Isolde Touch is Asha Sheshadri, a composer and multimedia artist based in Southern California. Secretary of Sensation is a seven-chapter narrative occurring in Our Town (1052–1119). Voice, synthesis and original text. The music Asha Sheshadri makes as Isolde Touch is boldly literal. Perhaps literal is inexact; concrete is closer, as her sounds have a clarity that ties them directly to their origins (a piano is exactly a piano). Conceptually she deals in abstraction, but sonically she’s unafraid …
Hatred
** Housed in a 6 panel fold out cover ** Definatly one of the grimmest releases on UE so far... a swarm of bees are after you in your own house, they're everywhere and you can't run out either cos in front of the only door of your "crib" the half man half beast god rapist is waiting for you... if this creature whispers it's 56 times louder then a normal human being, if it touches you softly with it's fingernails you'll bleed to death, if it walks you'll hear a pounding stomp from miles away... i…

Graveside Doles
Limited Edition of 400, it comes with several inserts "Two of the most intense young 'free' dudes from different parts of the globe (Greg Kelley from Boston, Alex Neilson from Leeds) unite for this completely weird record, taking free music to a different level, recorded on top of each other via mail. This sounds like moving the heaviest metal closet on a little rubber boat from Brighton to the east coast of the United States, kicking off with a heavy free jazzy tune full of retarded trumpets s…
Six Crossings
*300 copies limited edition* "Six Crossings" is c_c’s ultimate recording with the electronic setup he has honed for nearly 10 years of live performances: several drum machines and a sampler interconnected to a mixing system and feedback effects, analog and digital hybrid. Between basic writing and improvisation, all the songs were recorded in a single take during the same day, at ZZLand, while he was back from the ZAD of Notre Dame Des Landes, charged with the good vibes of a huge party in suppo…

Hordijk, Vol. 2
The Hordijk community has members from all over the planet and it’s a bit like a secret society; many don’t know any of the other users. After extensively trawling social media, I was delighted to find so many captivating artists dedicating their life to the sound of electrons. Just like Rob had. Not all were willing to contribute, simply because the reason they owned a Hordijk instrument had to do with its sound and quirkiness. I am glad many others contributed. This compilation presents a much…

Turchesi Miracolosi
*2023 stock. 200 copies limited edition* The Pond: voice based music. Collaboration between vocalist Elisabetta Lanfredini and electroacoustic composer/performer Nicolas Wiese. An unfolding narrative, continuous, elusive. A flaring up and fading, a door opening and closing, ears left to listen through the keyhole. Flashbacks of old traditions, the sound of a language that does not exist. Literary figures materialise in sound before disappearing just as quickly – none of them ever becoming the ce…
