Reverse Image – Éclipse Dissonante (FMOA Audio Postcard Series)

From our friend Reverse Image, who offers this 18-minute sound collage: “Reverse Image (Y’ng-Yin Siew) is a sound artist from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. She builds her works using a hybrid of analogue and digital tools, with which she explores the intersection between repetitive motifs and moments of discontinuity. Her debut Continue Reading

Ezra Sturm & Ernesto Diaz-Infante – Live at Day of Noise

This is the second time I get to present the father-son due of Ezra Sturm and the consistently wonderful Ernesto Diaz-Infante.  In this live improvisation, I get to hear more of a space rock sound.  There is a sci-fi element to the music, which makes the performance that much more Continue Reading

Slermpy Fishkins – I WANT TO PRODUCE FOR MY FAVORITE RAPPERS BEFORE THEY DIE

This is a weird one, admittedly, but it has enough charm for me to share it.  Slermpy Fishkins hail from Riverside, California, not terribly far from where I lived in California before moving to China.  They produce a grubby, lo-fi hip-hop laced with some very strange samples and cut-ups.  Interesting Continue Reading

Deficit – Elämä Toisesta Paikkasta (With Marcelo Diaz / Mads Records)

His collaborator, Marcelo Diaz, Continue Reading

Karolina Ossowska & Jeff Gburek – Witch​-​Hazel

We have another elegant experimental/electroacoustic album by violinist Karolina Ossowska and her partner in this release, Jeff Gburek.  There is a Nurse With Wound-meets-György Ligeti vibe to this release, maybe even references to Krzysztof Penderecki’s earlier avant-garde works, but given a gritty, ghostly treatment.  Another glorious release.

Throbbing Gristle – Thirty​-​Second Annual Report

Don’t let anyone ever tell you differently.  Ministry, Front 242, Frontline Assembly, as much as I love all of those bands, are NOT Industrial music in its purest form, nor are any of the ghastly ‘industrial metal’ bands.  Only Throbbing Gristle and associated bands, such as SPK, early Cabaret Voltaire Continue Reading

George Christian – Requiem para Minha M​ã​e Cigana, Margarida

Our old friend George Christian has released a two-track album for Post Orientalism Music out of Berlin, Germany.  Though some will bill this as experimental, I hear more of a wild psych-influenced space rock mixed together guitar improvisations that works wonderfully well.  It is best to let George tell the Continue Reading
