In 1988, her second record (“Dark Moves”) was produced by Kunle Mwanga, at that time manager / producer of saxophonist David Murray. In the following years, Greetje organized a special program for theatre concerts which gave her quintet a larger audience. In 1989, she toured with the avant-garde vocal quintet Direct Sound, including David Moss [...]
Jørgen Plaetner (1930-2002) was a pioneer of electronic music in Denmark. He created most of his 57 electronic works in the period 1960-1974, but his oeuvre also includes works for orchestra and ensembles, piano sonatas and works for children and young people. The eight works featured on this CD are milestones within Jørgen Plaetner’s output [...]
Lily Greenham was a performer and early pioneer of ‘concrete poetry’, yep I know how weird that sounds, but all will become clear. She used her voice in ways that genuinely hadn’t been explored before, cutting, splicing, pitching and effecting it, making tones and chopping out syllables until words were barely even audible as words [...]
I remember saying when Ian’s ‘Tegami Beauty’ release came out on U-Cover that he was going to be a name to watch over the coming years and it turns out I was absolutely right. Not content with co-running the excellent Home Normal label and putting out varied net label releases, he’s now really come into [...]

Duo action from Frank Baugh (Sparkling Wide Pressure) and Patrick Singleton. Representing the deep south (Tennessee), these two could easily be crawling aliens sending us transmissions from a distant spaced out planet. The sonic message they’ve sent here is awesome in every way. Heavy, industrial grind mixed with hypnotic loops and lurching rhythms, all delivered [...]
Stockhausen began to compose in earnest only during his third year at the conservatory (Kurtz 1992, 26–27). His early student compositions remained out of the public eye until, in 1971, he published Chöre für Doris, Drei Lieder for alto voice and chamber orchestra, Choral for a capella choir (all three from 1950), and a Sonatine [...]
Sainkho Namtchylak emerged into the world of European performance art and sound poetry in the late 1980s/early 1990s, but the roots of the work are in the Republic of Tuva (South Siberia, Russia), where she was born in 1957 and where she got first training as vocalist and folk singer. While studying music at the [...]
In Eliane Radigue’s music, nothing happens over a long time. As Biogenesis is one of her relatively short pieces, weighing in at just over twenty-one minutes, the nothing happens fairly quickly, especially that throbbing bass at about the halfway point. But not to worry. If you enjoy the spacious quality of Radigue’s other work, you [...]
This is volume 9 in Omega Point’s Obscure Tape Music of Japan series. Yoji Kuri is one of the foremost and highly-regarded experimental animation artists in Japan, active since the early ’60s. His name is well-known not only for his many works of “black humor” throughout the ’60s and 70′s, but also for the soundtracks [...]
