| Pendulum Nisum - Pendulum Nisum | ||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
LP hint 13 (October 2011) 180 g. vinyl • Infernal Council [8.2 mb]  • In A Slow Spiral Up [10.9 mb] Pendulum Nisum are Reto Mäder (Ural Umbo, Sum Of R, RM74) and Mike Reber (Herpes Ö DeLuxe). The 8 pieces on their debut album are built on majestic organic drones and hypnotic, sinister melodies - a complex structured sound built from horns, organ, piano, analogue synthesizers, shades of guitar sounds, voices, found objects, electro-acoustic processes, and, most of all, an unusual strong presence of field recordings. The powerful but warm and gloomy sound, based on acoustic instruments and electronic sound treatment clashes in a challenging way with the carefully selected natural sounds (thunderstorms, rain, city noises) chosen from the huge sound databank that Reber has collected within the last decade.

| Lubomyr Melnyk - The Voice of Trees | ||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
CD hint 12 (October 2011) 4-panel chipboard sleeve • The Voice of Trees (Part 1, Excerpt) [10.4 mb] • The Voice of Trees (Part 2, Excerpt) [11.1 mb] The Voice Of Trees was recorded in 1983 but never officially released. It is a 64 minute composition including Lubomyr Melnyk - Canadian composer and pianist of Ukrainian origins - on piano and Melvyn Poore - who became a member of the European ensemble Zeitkratzer many years later - on tuba, both instruments played in real-time and over backing tracks. The Voice of Trees is a work of true and intense beauty. It is a lost masterpiece, as many of Melnyk’s pieces are, that need not hide in the shadow of the Reich/Glass/Riley axis but come to light in the history of twentieth-century composition.

LP hint 10 (October 2010) Cover: silver ink print.

An organic and hypnotic mixture of lurking electro-acoustics, atmospheric black metal approaches, epic drones, slowly evolving melodies, doom mantras and an overall psychedelic atmosphere.

Ghédalia Tazartès - Ante-Mortem |
||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
CD hint 09 (October 2010) 4-panel chipboard sleeve • Vingt et un [2.7 mb] • Huit [4.7 mb] "Ante-Mortem" is one of Ghédalia Tazartès’ major works of the last 20 years. Although simply named 1 to 23, the CD bears a collection of very diverse tracks, a couple of them connected in a thematical frame, others simply standing for themselves. What holds them all together is first and all Tazartès’ archetypical voice. One could say that "Ante-Mortem" contains some of his harshest ever tracks as well as a couple of his most humorous ones.

 |
CD hint 08 (January 2010) 4-panel chipboard sleeve • Scrying in Smoke [11 mb] • My Lady of the Loire [4.3 mb] An album of new Rhys Chatham tracks with band - something you haven't heard since the "Die Donnergötter" recordings of the 80s... Chatham on trumpet and electric guitar, three young swiss musicians on bass guitar, drums and trombone, plus a lot of studio trickery. More punk, noise and drones than you would expect from a new Rhys Chatham record.

 |
CD hint 07 (January 2010) Arigato Pak • The Second Race [7.5 mb] Second full-lenght album from Rashomon (aka Guapo founding member Matt Thompson). Inspired by public information broadcast "The Finishing Line" (1977), the record is a sonic re-imagining of the film as haunted meditation on the power of memory, drawing the listener into a claustrophobic sense of unease and mounting horror. An amalgam of library music, 1970s prog soundtrack, musique concrète and spectral jazz.

Strotter Inst. – Minenhund |

 |
CD hint 05 (January 2009) 4-panel chipboard sleeve • #7 [2.2 mb] • #13 [5.8 mb] Music created through the use of old Lenco turntables, modified and manipulated in countless ways. But it has more in common with the anti-electronica of Pan Sonic or the early minimalism of Steve Reich, than to other experimental turntablists.
