Unlike the hermetic Rise of Elklink LP, Farm Stories features creative use of the great outdoors, recorded in 2002 at Green Chimneys rehabilitation center for children and animals, in Brewster, NY. We hear pigs, birds, thunder, cows, children, their parents, and planes. These recordings were then fed through a mixing board where Lambkin added Kurzweil K2500 synth, and Hoyos added electric guitar and FX. The results were made into a private run CDR that was given away at Christmas to friends. This 2015 edition of Farm Stories has been restored from the original cassettes by Graham Lambkin and fully remastered by Jason Lescalleet at Glistening Labs. Farm Stories arrives in a full color high gloss sleeve that replicates the Elklink Christmas card of 2002 in an edition of 500 copies. - Kye.","brand":"Kye","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":52005129735,"sku":"17676-KYE","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2295\/2925\/products\/R-7866374-1450486565-3267_jpeg.jpg?v=1571718281"},{"product_id":"snow-michael-musics-for-piano-whistling-microphone-and-tape-recorder","title":"SNOW, MICHAEL - Musics For Piano, Whistling, Microphone And Tape Recorder","description":"\u003cp\u003eNOW AT A MUCH LOWER PRICE.

The activities at that time were only the creation of cassette works and actions in the world of mail art with no live performance. A few years later, he suspended his music activities to concentrate on his studies and returned in 1993 after having just graduated as a pathologist. K2 perceives no alteration between the act of making noise and the act of science and he practices a kind of alchemy through his noise. Hepatopolitika, an ultra-rare work released in 1994 on transparent vinyl by German label Praxis Dr. Bearmann in only 125 numbered copies, represents in an exemplary way the idea just expressed. He sets one's sights of metamorphosize himself with both the awareness he gets from his scientific experiments and the emotional strength he obtains from performing and listening to noise. The work is essentially a cut-ups noise oriented in its most exhausting form and in its rawest form. The sound is exceptionally lo-fi; the actual aggression of sound deconstruction in both sides leaves you astonished and consists in amazing assemblage of crashing, creaking, and scraping sounds made with pieces of junk metal plus concrete music and voice, edited in a jarring, unpredictable style. 140 gram black vinyl; black inner sleeve in a deluxe black cardboard sleeve with logo in silver silk screen plus obi that include art collage from original vinyl label; Edition of 199. \"Noise cannot be refused by either ears and heads!\"\" - Urashima .","brand":"Urashima","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":31694110851135,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2295\/2925\/products\/UMA133LP_CU.jpg?v=1579976822"},{"product_id":"ostarbeiter-the-iron-ere","title":"OSTARBEITER - The Iron Ere","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"We are pleased to announce the reissue of an anthology collection of Ukrainian Death Industrial Ostarbeiter on two cassettes. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt is easy to describe death industrial in one word; however, Ostarbeiter refers to workers sent from the former Soviet Union to factories and farms in Germany during World War II.

And while the guitar tone here is resolutely treble-kicked -- or, as Orcutt puts it, 'a bridge pickup rather than a neck pickup record' -- it still wades the same melodic streams as his previous LPs (yet, as Heraclitus taught us, that stream is utterly different the second time around). Although it's a true left-field listen, Music for Four Guitars is bizarrely meditative, a Bill Orcutt Buddha Machine, a glimpse of the world of icy beauty haunting the latitudes high above the Delta (down where the climate suits your clothes). I've written before of the immediate misapprehension that greeted Harry Pussy on their first tour with my band Charalambides -- that this was a trio of crazed freaks spontaneously spewing sound from wherever their fingers or drumsticks happened to land -- but I'll grant the casual listener a certain amount of confusion based on the early recorded evidence (and the fact that the band COULD be a trio of crazed freaks letting fly, as we learned from later tours). But to my ears, the precision and composition of their tracks were immediately apparent, as if the band was some sort of 5-D music box with its handle cranked into oblivion by a calculating organ grinder, running through musical maps as pre-ordained as the road to a Calvinist's grave. That organ grinder, it turns out, was Bill Orcutt, whose solo guitar output until 2022 has tilted decidedly towards improvisation, while his fetish for relentless, gridlike composition has animated his electronic music (c.f. Live in LA, A Mechanical Joey). Music for Four Guitars, apparently percolating since 2015 as a loosely-conceived score for an actual meatspace guitar quartet, is the culmination of years ruminating on classical music, Magic Band miniatures, and (perhaps) The League of Crafty Guitarists, although when the Reich-isms got tossed in the brew is anyone's guess. And Reichian (Steve, not Wilhelm) it is. The album's form is startlingly minimalist -- four guitars, each consigned to a chattering melody in counterpoint, repeated in cells throughout the course of the track, selectively pulled in and out of the mix to build fugue-like drama over the course of 14 brief tracks. It's tempting to compare them to chamber music, but these pieces reflect little of the delicacy of Satie's Gymnopedies or Bach's Cantatas. Instead, they bulldoze their way through melodic content with a touch of the motorik romanticism of New Order or Bailter Space ('At a Distance'), but more often ('A Different View,' 'On the Horizon') with the gonad-crushing drive of Discipline-era Crimson, full of squared corners, coldly angled like Beefheart-via-Beat-Detective. Just to nail down the classical fetishism, the album features a download of an 80-page PDF score transcribed by guitarist Shane Parish. And while it'd be just as reproducible as a bit of code or a player piano roll, I can easily close my eyes and imagine folks with brows higher than mine squeezing into their difficult-listening hour folding chairs at Issue Project Room to soak up these sounds being played by real people reading a printed score 50 years from now. And as much as I want to bomb anyone's academy, that feels like a warm fuzzy future to sink into.\"--Tom Carter Recorded Winter\/Spring 2021 at the Living Room, San Francisco.

Żmijewski's works convince us that neither suffering nor different kinds of physical dysfunction or social norms are able to kill the joy of life. The children singing Bach every so often snort with laughter as if they were trying to accustom themselves to the situation in which they found themselves, thus making it 'normal'. They whoop it up, forgetting the fact that the lesson in which they participate is beyond the social role ascribed to them, that it is an anomaly, a freaky idea. It is also a musical hybrid, a mix of the sounds uttered by the deaf children and the voice of a professional singer, a negation of all the rules, a mixture of the evenly-tempered baroque system and elements of modal and atonal music.\"\" -Tochnit Aleph.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Tochnit Aleph","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":43458764931291,"sku":"","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2295\/2925\/products\/TA099CD_CU.jpg?v=1664896313"},{"product_id":"copy-of-zmijewski-artur-singing-lesson","title":"MUEHL, OTTO - Musik 1982-90","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"76 minutes collection of recordings made at the Friedrichshof commune between 1982 and 1990.

And while the guitar tone here is resolutely treble-kicked -- or, as Orcutt puts it, 'a bridge pickup rather than a neck pickup record' -- it still wades the same melodic streams as his previous LPs (yet, as Heraclitus taught us, that stream is utterly different the second time around). Although it's a true left-field listen, Music for Four Guitars is bizarrely meditative, a Bill Orcutt Buddha Machine, a glimpse of the world of icy beauty haunting the latitudes high above the Delta (down where the climate suits your clothes). I've written before of the immediate misapprehension that greeted Harry Pussy on their first tour with my band Charalambides -- that this was a trio of crazed freaks spontaneously spewing sound from wherever their fingers or drumsticks happened to land -- but I'll grant the casual listener a certain amount of confusion based on the early recorded evidence (and the fact that the band COULD be a trio of crazed freaks letting fly, as we learned from later tours). But to my ears, the precision and composition of their tracks were immediately apparent, as if the band was some sort of 5-D music box with its handle cranked into oblivion by a calculating organ grinder, running through musical maps as pre-ordained as the road to a Calvinist's grave. That organ grinder, it turns out, was Bill Orcutt, whose solo guitar output until 2022 has tilted decidedly towards improvisation, while his fetish for relentless, gridlike composition has animated his electronic music (c.f. Live in LA, A Mechanical Joey). Music for Four Guitars, apparently percolating since 2015 as a loosely-conceived score for an actual meatspace guitar quartet, is the culmination of years ruminating on classical music, Magic Band miniatures, and (perhaps) The League of Crafty Guitarists, although when the Reich-isms got tossed in the brew is anyone's guess. And Reichian (Steve, not Wilhelm) it is. The album's form is startlingly minimalist -- four guitars, each consigned to a chattering melody in counterpoint, repeated in cells throughout the course of the track, selectively pulled in and out of the mix to build fugue-like drama over the course of 14 brief tracks. It's tempting to compare them to chamber music, but these pieces reflect little of the delicacy of Satie's Gymnopedies or Bach's Cantatas. Instead, they bulldoze their way through melodic content with a touch of the motorik romanticism of New Order or Bailter Space ('At a Distance'), but more often ('A Different View,' 'On the Horizon') with the gonad-crushing drive of Discipline-era Crimson, full of squared corners, coldly angled like Beefheart-via-Beat-Detective. Just to nail down the classical fetishism, the album features a download of an 80-page PDF score transcribed by guitarist Shane Parish. And while it'd be just as reproducible as a bit of code or a player piano roll, I can easily close my eyes and imagine folks with brows higher than mine squeezing into their difficult-listening hour folding chairs at Issue Project Room to soak up these sounds being played by real people reading a printed score 50 years from now. And as much as I want to bomb anyone's academy, that feels like a warm fuzzy future to sink into.\" --Tom Carter Recorded Winter\/Spring 2021 at the Living Room, San Francisco.

Embodying the raw spirit of DIY (many of the instruments used in the recordings were made by DeVore himself, self-described as an \"itinerant flute-maker\") the ensemble channels references -- via passages of chanting and percussion, as well as conceptual underpinnings -- from Jim Pepper's Native American roots, intuiting them with the soulfulness of spiritual jazz, wild moments of avant-gardism centered around synths and electronic effects, and explosions of wild free improvisation. \"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDevelopment of new music is a continuous path that grows directionally according to psychoacoustical phenomena available for unification.

The Hams’ legendary and elusive sole release was promoted — as an exclusive — through Systematic via the backdoor in the summer of 1987 amidst the distributor’s fog of bankruptcy. The Hams’ label, Down And Out, was equally mysterious, having previously released one LP (Prominent Disturbance) and one cassette (The Turks) to little or no fanfare. Since none of the Systematic sales staff at the time have any memory of carrying these titles, the shroud of speculation only enhances their existence. The Hams 12\" did receive a hale and hearty endorsement in the pages of Forced Exposure at the time, comparing them to (surprise!) The Smashchords. Accurate enough, let’s face it, there wasn’t a whole lot out there for this to stick to. However, there was no real way to get the thing. Adorned in a plain white disco sleeve, presumably the few that got out into the wild before the Chapter 11 axe came down were as in-store play copies. No one has an idea about how many were originally pressed, either. All of this helping to build its quiddity among collectors. The Smashchords comparison notwithstanding, The Hams 12\" is every bit as much of an anomaly. Literally two dudes on guitar and drum, jamming. No vocals, just heart. It could have easily come out on SST in its waning, Byzantine era, sounding like Painted Willie collapsing into a black hole of Turkish barbarism. Or yourself, evaporating into the abyss of any Montrose album, shattered on Tuinals, struggling to redefine life itself. Basically: not for everyone. But with only 200 pressed, Zaius Tapes have that covered.\" - Zaius Tapes \u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Zaius Tapes","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":43958618194139,"sku":"","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2295\/2925\/products\/NzctNzU1NS5qcGVn.jpg?v=1676406744"},{"product_id":"conrad-tony-arnold-dreyblatt-jim-orourke-tonic-19-01-2001","title":"CONRAD, TONY\/ARNOLD DREYBLATT\/JIM O'ROURKE - Tonic 19-01-2001","description":"\"\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCelebrating its one hundredth release, Black Truffle present a major archival discovery: a stunning document of the only performance by the trio of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTony Conrad\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArnold Dreyblatt\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e, and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJim O'Rourke\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e.

As Dreyblatt points out in the wonderfully informative and reflective liner notes written for this release, this was a collaboration across generations, reflecting the profound impact of Conrad's pioneering minimalism on Dreyblatt and O'Rourke. Both Dreyblatt and O'Rourke came to this collaboration armed with a deep appreciation of Conrad's music and the just intonation principles at its core, Dreyblatt having first encountered the incredible power of Conrad's precisely tuned violin chords during his tenure as an archivist for \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLa Monte Young\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e in 1975, while O'Rourke had performed with Conrad in various settings since the mid-1990s (as well as admiring, reissuing, and performing Dreyblatt's music). The flyer for the concert promised \"massive, ecstatic, pulsating overtones\", and the trio certainly delivered. From the moment this keening stream of bowed strings begins, it is clear, as Dreyblatt writes, that you are in \"Tony's sonic universe\", as massively amplified, slowly shifting combinations of precisely chosen pitches fill the room with complex beating patterns and ghostly difference tones. For more than twenty-five minutes, the music operates at a level of intensity comparable to classic recordings such as Conrad's Four Violins, until the texture thins out slightly in the performance's final quarter, allowing for the listener's first recognition of the individual voices that make up this enormous, overwhelming harmonic edifice. The constant stream of bowed tones is broken by a beautifully rich pizzicato from Conrad on monochord, the sliding low tones and metallic shimmer of the other strings taking the set's final moments on an unexpected detour into spacious pastoral psychedelia. Though produced by three individuals known for their own distinctive bodies of the work, this is egoless music, the perfect expression of Conrad's desire \"to move away from composing to listening\", to \"working 'on' the sound from 'inside' the sound\". Historically important and overwhelming in sonic impact, this release also serves as a moving tribute to Tony Conrad from two musicians profoundly marked by the example set by his art and life.

The pairing of the prolific Scottish pianist and composer and the fluctuating collective active since the mid-1980s was an easy, natural one -- a union particularly apt and complementary. But this is not to say that the 15 recordings which made up \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOsaka Bridge\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e were in any way seamless. The horns played by these self-taught musicians strain and struggle with Wells' luscious arrangements; each note is given all the stiff emphasis that you'd expect of a high school brass band at its first rehearsal. Songs fall in and out of rhythm, and a track like \"Poxy\" misses its intended swing feel by a country mile. Of course, this is all part of the magic. Maher Shalal Hash Baz take Wells's melodies and strip them back to their emotional core, disallowing all artifice and revealing a stark, serene beauty. Particularly affecting are \"On The Beach Boys Bus\" and \"Time Takes Me So Back\", the two tracks sung by Kudo's wife \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eReiko\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e.

Reiko's voice gives each song a haunting fragility that enhances their phantasmagoric character.

The length of SIGNA's performances range from six hours to 250 hours non-stop. The extreme duration of the work allows the improvisations to develop complex and intricately detailed stories, as well as provide ample time for audience members to acclimate to, and become insinuated in, the machinations of the world being portrayed. With rare exception, there is no physical boundary between performer and audience in SIGNA performances. The audience is invited to engage with the project as an individual might in daily life- absorbing all visual, aural, and tactile cues in the environment. The recordings on this publication stem from the 2019 performance \"Det Åbne Hjerte (The Open Heart)\" and were selected and edited by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDaniel Löwenbrück\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e from hours and hours of sound from the (covert) video-documentation of the performance. The 12-hour performance (from 7pm to 7am) \"Det Åbne Hjerte\" featured a cast of more than 50 Danish and international performers, and explored the pendulum swings of power in the borderland between compassion and complacency. 60 people per evening were invited for a \"seminar in empathy\" run by the fictional association \"The Open Heart\", founded by \"The Compassionates\" -- these are individuals who accommodate and study human beings surviving on the fringes of society, known as \"The Sufferers\". As a seminar participant, each audience member was assigned a bed, a locker, and a personal mentor from the ranks of \"The Sufferers\", respectively. During the performance, the audience adopted their mentor's name and clothes and experienced their world from inside their embodied experience.

The interest in experimenting with the human voice, and interdisciplinary work involving visual arts, were some of the aspects that have defined Jacqueline Nova's work. Ana María Romano has written: \"Nova lived in an environment hostile to change, to debate and discussion, hostile to her being an autonomous and lesbian woman. She undertook feats that make her a pioneer, even though she did not set out to be taken as one, but only as a result of the commitment, dedication and passion of a creator with her society. Jacqueline Nova died in Bogotá of bone cancer. Her tragic and early death not only cut short a career in full creative force, but also directly affected the development of electroacoustic music in the country. After her death there was a great silence -- close to 15 years -- in musical creation with electronic means. Nova challenged a conservative milieu and survived alone, working in a field thought to be exclusively masculine. But it was a woman who strengthened the use of technology in Colombian music. A risky bet that sadly represented a high cost: Nova was relegated during her lifetime, but her noises managed to shake and question the comfort zones of the Colombian musical establishment.\" Includes a booklet with extensive information written by Ana María Romano G.; edition of 300.\" - Buh.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Buh","offers":[{"title":"Double LP","offer_id":43995387822299,"sku":"","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2295\/2925\/products\/BR172LP_CU.jpg?v=1678218076"},{"product_id":"muslimgauze-turn-on-arabic-american-radio","title":"MUSLIMGAUZE - Turn on Arabic American Radio","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"The relationship between \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eBryn Jones\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e's music as \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eMuslimgauze\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and the track\/album titles he would provide (sometimes right on the tapes he would send in for release, but often determined later, sometimes even giving two different pieces months apart the same title, accidentally or not) has always been a little mysterious. Jones himself can no longer be asked, and as you continue to investigate the swathes of material he provided, you hit sources like the DAT or DATs that make up the contents of the new double-LP \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eTurn On Arab American Radio\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. Nine tracks, the first LP\/four tracks titled \"Turn On Arab American Radio,\" and the other LP\/five tracks labeled only \"Arab American Radio.\" None of them sound particularly radio-esque, although given the simultaneous vastness and ornate focus of Jones's Muslimgauze work that gap between name and sound is far from atypical. Instead, here the de rigeur percussion loops that underpin this particular set of tracks, while occasionally clipping into the fierce distortion that Jones either loved to use or couldn't get away from, steer away from both the more consistent application of that distortion as well as the Middle Eastern and Asian influences he often used. It'd be a stretch to call anything here basic boom-bap production but they come closer to it than a lot of Muslimgauze production. And while those loops are, as always prominent, they're not actually the focus; settling into steady vamps as structures for Jones to pursue an extended and often more gentle exploration of the other sample sources he has here. There are stringed instruments, the sound of water, but most prominently or strikingly the human voice. Nothing is in English but tone and the occasional word (\"familia\", \"passport\") still provide guides. There are ululations, snatches of melody; but most often speech, dialogue, often tense and harried sounding. Is this what Jones was thinking of or referring to with his \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eArab American Radio\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e? As with so many other questions about Muslimgauze, we'll never know the answer to that one. (Most pertinently in this case we might wonder who appears here, and what the context of these recordings is. But Jones never provided that with his submissions.) Here, even though those inexorable loops pound on, indefatigable, that emphasis on some of the people Jones chooses lends a measured gentleness to much of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eTurn On Arab American Radio\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, at least within the context of his body of work.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Nine tracks, the first LP\/four tracks titled \"Turn On Arab American Radio,\" and the other LP\/five tracks labeled only \"Arab American Radio.\"\u003cbr\u003e- None of them sound particularly radio-esque, although given the simultaneous vastness and ornate focus of Jones's Muslimgauze work that gap between name and sound is far from atypical.\u003cbr\u003e- Instead, here the de rigeur percussion loops that underpin this particular set of tracks and steer away from both the more consistent application of that distortion as well as the Middle Eastern and Asian influences he often used.\" - Forced Exposure \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Staalplaat","offers":[{"title":"2LP","offer_id":43995559231707,"sku":"","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2295\/2925\/products\/ARCHIVE034LP_CU.jpg?v=1678225685"},{"product_id":"iannone-dorothy-first-recording-1969","title":"IANNONE, DOROTHY - First Recording 1969","description":"\"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"First Recording\": a cascade of sounds and words, recorded one after the other as they arose in the mind, consists of songs and poetry from diverse sources as well as original works by the artist.
