Robert Turman & Aaron Dilloway - "Blizzard"

Collaboration between AARON DILLOWAY (ex-WOLF EYES) and ROBERT TURMAN (ex-NON, Z.O. Voider). Recorded in January 2009 during a horrible Ohio snowstorm. Dilloway on synthesizer and tape delays and Turman on tapes and effects. Very minimal, very slow, very cold. Frozen and stuck in the snow.

Christa Pfangen - "Watch Me Getting Back The End"

Christa Pfangen are Andrea Belfi and Mattia Coletti. The name is a hommage to Nico, although the music has obviously no relation with the icon of the New York avant garde scene. They belong to the new electroacoustic/improv/avant-rock scene which is taking shape in Italy and includes such names as 3/4HadBeenEliminated, Valerio Tricoli, Å, Stefano Pilia and others.
Working with percussion, treated guitar and an array of different objects and noises, they have given birth to a dynamic work of great beauty and reverberating rhythms, oscillating between avant folk and electroacoustic music.

Ilpo Väisänen - "Asuma"

With a little cabin and digitally-altered woodland scenes decorating it, Pan Sonic member Ilpo Väisänen's solo disc is perhaps an industrial/microscopic ode to the great outdoors... who knows? With Scandinavian names appended to crunchy obscurities, Asuma could be about anything. For fans of that crunchy microsound though, it may well be more fun than a picnic in the forest...

Muted drum-like pulsations sputter in the opening track, slowly gaining an electric fibrillation here, a tiny jitter there... until all evolves to become the buzzing entity of Autioitu I. Brassily ringing drones course through Tukahduttaja, backed by coarse, downwardly-sliding ripples. As if an energetic drummer's output were digitized into binary code the reinterpolated through Väisänen's computer, Klikki pips and pops with spunk, then suddenly veers into a murkier phase before recovering its previous rhythmic self. The mechanically droning atmospheres of Asumaton (8:51) shift on various thrumming layers, then are topped with higher-pitched arpeggios. Vallitseva blits and bleeps as more micro-syncopation pockmarks the dense, undulating surface, ringing with an increasingly glaring sheen. Quiet wisps intermittently flutter through Arvioimaton Ongelma (0:44), growing louder and spastically birdlike at its conclusion. Jaettu's stark metered pulses synchronize before spattering into their own directions, regrouping and then fading away. Sporadic clicks keep time in Autioitu II, to be joined by distant mechanical resonance.

Breaking electronic sounds down into molecular particles then reassembling them into a world of his own making, Ilpo Väisänen explores the crisp digital vistas of Asuma.

Michel Chion / Lionel Marchetti / Jérôme Noetinger - "Les 120 jours"

For Les 120 Jours, Michel Chion, Lionel Marchetti and Jérôme Noetinger assembled a common bank of many original sounds which each of them had worked on, transformed and re-composed in his own style. This gives the listener the ability to hear a musical language in the form of collage-citations, which, for this occassion, they also named a 'concrete diversion'. Musique concrète composed in 1997/98 for the Festival Musique Action, 16 May 1998, at Vandoeuvre-lès-Nancy, France. This is a 2 disc set.
