DONEDA, MICHEL & PIERRE-OLIVIER BOULANT - Sopranino / Radio
Exploring sound, just whistles, from the fragile highs to the raucous. How can the editing give any account of the process involved ? Take half an hour or so from each location. Listen... First, -¢??Michels studio-¢?¬ù, what talked to us was was kept. Next without trying to remember what has just been heard move on to Forest with the wind in the branches, same here, just listen, keep another fragment and so on for the other two, by the Stream and on a Path where we picked some firewood. Back to the first place, cyles...Somewhere along the radio interrupts --- -(from the inner liner notes). "Michel Doneda : Sopranino Saxophone, Radio; Pierre-Olivier Boulant : Microphonography, Radio. One very long track (40 minutes) recorded in four open-air locations and sixty-three very short fragments, for a total of 63 minutes of high pitched sopranino saxophone sounds, wondefully recorded by Pierre-Olivier Boulant in Autumn 2001. To be played in random-order ! Cover art from a postcard collage by Michel Doneda. Edition of 500 numbered copies in the usual Fringes oversized cardboard sleeve." - Fringes.

After nearly a decade of false starts, multiple game plans veering off the rails, and a handful of shattered hopes and/or dreams, the odyssey is finally complete—the new Fusetron site is here.
This is the first phase of a multipart rollout that will span the next few months: the currently browsable stock includes miscellaneous new releases from the past 8+ months (we have a lot of catching up to do), plus approximately a third of our backstock. Note that we’ve reduced/slashed prices on many titles and will continue to do so in order to make room for new stock. We’ll also be expanding / tweaking / improving / debugging the site itself (for example, we still have work to do on the automated international postage system, not to mention the inevitable inventory discrepancies that come with transferring an ancient and massive database to a new system).
Over the next few months, as we take inventory, clean house, and delve into our storage, we will be uploading thousands of additional items, gradually, on a near-daily basis. This will include the majority of the LPs, as well as many titles, in all formats, once thought long-gone. Many currently “sold out” items are likely to resurface.
Finally, once our general backstock is up (probably in the next two or three months) we’ll begin making our extensive stockpile of rarities available online for the first time: tons of random out-of-print titles, "deadstock," warehouse finds, secondhand collectibles, etc., accumulated over the past few decades.
Frequent/returning customers will be getting early access to these items. Details to follow on how this will work (a priority mailing list? a 'frequent flyer'-like program?), but it will not be based on dollars spent. We want to reward those who consistently support us, especially in the discogs marketplace era (to those who show up trying to poach five copies of a one-off rarity, and nothing else, ever… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ).
So—we suggest you take some time to dig through the site—even we’ve been surprised by what’s been turning up, and there’s much more to come.
