Work
This is a brilliantly weird and hypnotic record, featuring pretty much nothing but the voice of conceptual artist Hanne Lippard reading a variety of texts typical of our digital age - things like autoresponders, FAQ’s, social media posts, bot-generated spam mail etc (or as she calls it ‘degenerate, or “b-language”) as a continuation of her ongoing investigation of the differences between the spoken and the written word. The result is entrancing, funny/sad in an almost Larkinian way and highly th…
Reading-Affair

In those days, Hori’s performance pieces employed various media such…

Stanzas or The Law of the Good Neighbour
Henry Andersen is a Brussels-based visual artist and composer. Trained as a minimal and reductionist composer under the wings of Peter Ablinger, he moved from music into visual art, writing and sound performances. His debut vinyl is a recording of the longrunning piece ‘Stanzas’ or ‘the Law of the Good Neighbour’. On each side, a pair of his friends reads simultaneously from a list of words. The list is an unfinished result of a word game Andersen has been playing for several years. Stanzas… see…
Laut - Gesten - Laute
Original late 80s copies from the legendary (and high quality) Edition Michael Frauenlob Bauer LPs, covering some of the Dieter Schnebel best extended voices compositions from 1981-1985. Laut Gesten Laute is a seminal piece of experimental 'theater' that ranks alongside Schnebel's later collection Zeichen-Sprache (recall Poem for One Jumper) as examples of Schnebel's “visible music.” These two works help define Schnebel as a formative voice in this genre for voices and gestures. “Redeübungen für…

Klangundkrach
Super limited edition by the legendary ClausBöhmler. Since the late 60s he has remained faithful to radical experiments with visuals and sound material from the cultural everyday; generating drawings, texts, radio-based sound works, artist’s books and video clips in tumblr. mode.

In the mid-1960s Böhmler was one of Joseph Beuys’s s…
Semikolon
Originally created as a 6-part radio series in 1965, and released in 1966 by Sveriges Radio. This is the first LP recording by either of these composers. Recorded at EMS (Elektron Musik Studion), the newly established studio facility at Swedish Radio. This pioneering work did not easily fit in any category that existed at the time. Inspired by the work of Öyvind Fahlström (who was a pioneer of concrete poetry along with the Lettrists and Futurists), a few young Swedish artists began exploring ne…

Franz Mon is a tireless researcher, his material is language. In "Artikulationen" he speaks of " the dance of the lips, of the tongue, of the teeth, move…
