Mare's Tail
In 1969 both Anthony Moore and David Larcher were at the start of their respective careers and both were inspired by the ideas of the avant garde and the new technologies becoming available to them. David experimented with the various techniques being explored in the medium of film making and Anthony tested the limits of what could be done with tape recorders. It was an open and co-operative exploration. The results of their first collaboration was the film Mare’s Tail - an unusually long 2:30 h…

Dichotomic Language
The duo of Yan Jun and Eric Wong focus on the temporal and spatial interplay of organic and digital sound. Using human voice, sine waves, and white noise as their instruments, the musicians modulate the sound sources to bring out resonance as well as to create sonic movements that blurs the borders among the sonic events. Eric says “When I perform with Yan Jun, I swing my arm holding a Bluetooth speaker as he filters his voice by moving his head and body. I remember I did it for the first time w…

Days
What if beating a drum would raise a thunderstorm, as if a sound could alter the very fabric of reality? In their latest album Days, the experimental electro-acoustic duo Kashaiof expand their sonic explorations, integrating extended techniques of modular synthesis, ultrasonic feedback, field recordings, and acoustic instrumentation.
In contrast to their previous releases Home (Chondritic Sound, LA, 2020) and MA (Under My Feet, London, 2022), where the voice was submerged in electrical responses…

Lacuna and parlor
‘Lacuna and Parlor’ is anchored in the left-field chamber music and incidental recordings that have long accented more eaze’s roving sound. Composed with one ear pressed to the rich textures of instrumental recording environments, this is a resonant and tactile collection tinged in rephrased space and skewed time. Taking the rudiments of tonal music theory as her conceptual base, more eaze formed the compositions around her own manipulations of these core principles. Simple chord progressions st…
Comes From Far Away From Here
*100 copies limited edition* Resourcefulness is sometimes presented as a humble quality born of necessity. But it’s a foundational tenet of the exceptionally unconstrained members of improvising trio Tamarisk, consisting of Christina Carter, David Menestres, and Andrew Weathers. Their latest is a continuation of the interplay they’ve developed for a few years now on a handful of releases and while touring. Like the most bizarre sort of jazz combo, Tamarisk grazes the orbits of outré free improv,…
Distinct and Concealed
*100 copies limited edition* This meet-up between two thoughtful practitioners of minimal and process-oriented music succeeds not because it is resourceful but because its gestures are clearheaded. Disciplined and exploratory, it is like observing someone fixing a watch: methodical and calm, periodically getting up and selecting a tool, working for stretches of full concentration, and hearing the footsteps and rustle of clothing. The titles of the pieces – “Distinct” and “Concealed” – suggest te…
Jenseits Der Wand
*300 copies limited edition* "Jenseits der Wand" is the latest CD-release by Berlin-based multi-disciplinary artists Daniela Fromberg and Stefan Roigk, which results from two walk-in sound installations, which were realized in 2021 and 2022.
While one focuses on the diverse acoustic dimension of urban life with all its obscure and often indecipherable noises behind your own four walls, the other deals with the specific soundscape of a recycling center, which is created from the supposedly worthl…

Cymbals and Night
*40 copies limited edition* Evan Lindorff-Ellery is a visual/sound artist based in upstate New York and co-founder of the tape label Notice Recordings. Much of his work relates to field recordings and free improvisation of objects in an outsider, lo-fi aesthetic. He is interested in the nuances of otherwise unharnessed sounds.
The album 'Cymbals and Night' is a combination of field recordings and free improvisation. It's all recorded on a low fidelity iPhone, which doesn't have the "purity" of l…
Sentir Que No Sabes
I started to think about the verb 'superimpose' and the implications this verb has in moments of intense work in dialogue with another and how ideas overlap. I also think about that moment when you feel you don't know anything and you are soft like jello and any fork can go through you. And ideas change and grow on that soft spot where there's a question mark.
Feeling like you don't know makes you softFeeling like you don't know makes you confusedMaybe feeling like you don't know will transform …
