LAST AVAILABILITIES


NEW ON ROSTER
Two-time winners of the Japan Media Arts Festival, Ei Wada's OPEN REEL ENSEMBLE are one of the most unusual groups around. Using reel-to-reel tape recorders from the 1970s linked to computer controllers and a weird and wonderful variety of old-fashioned electrical appliances, the group delivers a live musical performance as strange as it is compelling. They'll be touring Europe in the spring of 2024, so if you're interested, get it touch!
Availability: Germany 08 to 18 August 2024.

Acid Mothers Temple entered a new phase with the arrival of singer Jyonson Tsu, who's progressive, theatrical solo shows on classical guitar and vocals, using his own invented language, have attracted great accolades and reviews in their own right, and have ushered in a new era for Acid Mothers Temple. The band's NEXT EUROPE TOUR IS SCHEDULED FOR SPRING 2024.

Although Panda Bear and Sonic Boom are no strangers to each other’s music, RESET marks their first collaborative release. When Sonic Boom pitched an idea to take their working relationship to the next level, he reckoned Panda Bear might reject the proposition outright—in the nine gloriously, feverishly hook-bound tracks of Reset, though, you can hear exactly how much he loved the prospect. Sharing equal billing for the first time, Panda Bear and Sonic Boom achieve with RESET an intoxicating mind meld over a sample-heavy tribute to 1960s pop.

ON TOUR AUTUMN 2024


THE DWARFS OF EAST AGOUZA
(EG/US/CA / Sub Rosa)
The Dwarfs Of East Agouza are a leading force of improvised musical excitement. Founded in Cairo, Egypt, by Maurice Louca (Alif, Bikya), Sam Shalabi (Land of Kush, Shalabi Effect) and Alan Bishop (Sun City Girls, The Invisible Hands), the trio developed an unique always recognizable sound, shapeshifting from free jazz and Krautrock to Arabic influences and Egyptian Shaabi music. New record 'High Tide In The Lowlands' was released via Sub Rosa in April 2023
Availability: Europe from 30 September to 30 November 2024.

OPTIC SINK
(US / Feel It Records)
Optic Sink is the post-punk / minimal wave project from Natalie Hoffmann (NOTS), Ben Bauermeister (Magic Kids) and Keith Cooper (Jack Oblivian & The Sheiks.) Their debut album was released on Goner Records in 2020, and their second album will be out on Feel It Records in Fall 2023. Between albums, the band expanded on their electronic meets post-punk sound, adding multi-instrumentalist Keith Cooper on bass and guitar, and bringing Natalie’s no-wave guitar approach back into her synth-based setup. The result is a voyage into dynamic sonic territory, with the band’s wide array of influences—from house to punk and beyond—combining to create something vibrant and unexpected.
Availability: Europe/UK from 30 October to 30 November 2024. Also available for fly-ins/special events.

MIKE COOPER
(UK / Room40 records)
"Venerable virtuoso guitarist Mike Cooper evokes rich imagery and narrative through simple means - lap steel guitar, voice, FX, video and imagination - Now 81 years old - his music sounds utterly contemporary, situated somewhere between Takoma, Exotica, 4th World and Ambient musics; always with a minimal, evocative signature that honestly sounds quite unlike anything or anyone you’ll have heard before. Cooper is one of the most inspirational and consistently brilliant artists working on the scene today.- ”The Icon of post everything music” (Lawrence English-Room40)

NEW ON ROSTER
SUBSTRAT
(FR)
New project by French producers Flore and Arandel. Let’s imagine the music has already started. The music, the sound, the noise. When the audience enters the venue, a guitar is already playing on its own standing in front of an amp, self-feeding a saturated drone with its own feedback. At some point, the lights suddenly go off. And in a blinding light, the PA is opened. In the speakers and in pitch dark, the feedback of the amplified guitar is processed through machines, the signal sent to modular synths, saturated by effects pedals, treated through various tape delays and long reverberations. It is then and only then that the musicians enter the stage. For 50 minutes, they will undo the music, erase the pile of sounds. As the sound fades out and as white smoke appears and pours on everything, the light returns conversely, very gradually and uniformly in this cloudy mass. Eventually, even the feedback dies out in this luminous white magma. Silence has been made. It is deafening.

Formed in Athens in 2009 the four-piece released two LPs on Slovenly, caught the attention of the press and played great shows in 2015 (including Dour, Eurosonic...).

After a long three-year wait they’re now back with their third album ‘Lilac Days’on UK label Fuzz Club (home of Goat, The Black Angels, White Hills...). The album sees ABJ at their best; their frenetic garage-rock distilling a hazy mix of 60s Western psychedelic pop. After a short winter tour in march, they should be available for special events & festivals in the spring/ summer.

ANGUISH
(US / Rare Noise Records)
The dark, impossibly intense dirges, industrial noise onslaughts and banshee-like free jazz wailing heard throughout Anguish could be an imposing soundtrack for a dystopian, post-apocalyptic future. This powerhouse, inter-generational offering and RareNoise Records debut brings together an unlikely gathering of members of the New Jersey-based experimental hip-hop group Dälek (electronic musician and vocalist Will Brooks, guitarist-keyboardist Mike Mare), the Swedish free jazz group Fire! Orchestra (tenor saxophonist Mats Gustafsson, drummer Andreas Werliin) and the classic ‘70s German krautrock band Faust (keyboardist and 68-year-old founding member Hans Joachim Irmler). Anguish stands as a hard-hitting manifesto for the next evolution in the hip-hop legacy. Scheduled for a November release on RareNoise Records, Anguish promises to blow minds and provoke thoughts.

ARANDEL
(FR / In-Finé Music)
Inspired by his obsession with Wendy Carlos’ “Switched on Bach”, Arandel's new opus, ‘InBach vol. 1 & 2’, pays a poetic, infinitely respectful and innovative homage to JS Bach’s sacred workings. Born out of a proposal by the Musée de la Musique (Paris), the aim was to use the extraordinary but often hibernating historical instruments housed in the museum, mixed with vivid, contemporary music. In the immensity of Bach's oeuvre, in the company of his fellow wanderers (Areski Belkacem, Emmanuelle Parrenin, Barbara Carlotti, Gaspar Claus, Ben Shemie and more), within the constraints of historical instruments, emboldened by the delightful, sometimes technically dangerous friction between acoustics and electronics, Arandel walks a tightrope without a faux pas.

BRIAN CASE
(US / Hands in the Dark)
Brian Case (FACS, Disappears, 90 day men, Bambi Kino Duo…) just has released another stunning new solo album "Plays Paradise Artificial". This third album somehow manages to compile and condense the best bits of its predecessors, and the magnificent viridian, glacial universe developed by Case since the beginning of his solo ventures is brought to the forefront. The Chicago artist centers his elusive, dehumanized compositions on two simple, minimal elements. Using just vocals and synths, he has created a simultaneously modern and post-apocalyptic soundtrack, where music exists as the final traces of the footsteps of humanity.

Marimba virtuoso Vassilena Serafimova studied at the Conservatoire de Paris, as well as the Juilliard School in New York. She won some of the world's most prestigious contests, performing as a soloist and chamber musicians. The artistic co-director of the Marimba & Percussion Festival Bulgaria and of the Paris Percussion Group, she has also taken part in collaborations with musicians including jazz pianist Thomas Enhco (Deutsche Grammophon). The chemistry with self-taught Chloé was immediate, and fueled by the human complicity between the two musicians. "Chloé is my first collaboration with an electronic music. That is totally new to me, a true field of exploration". The music of Steve Reich, as the launchpad for the collaboration, was like a common language, which they gradually broke away from: "Reich is the most obvious link between electronic and academic music explains Chloé. "It was a starting point, a pretext, to go elsewhere. The idea was to then walk away from it... ».

ETIENNE JAUMET
(FR / Versatile)
Etienne Jaumet is the name behind the legendary French band Zombie Zombie, The Married Monk, The Tribute to La Monte Young (with Spacemen Three's Sonic Boom), to name just few of the bands he's played with. He also played sax with James Holden live band. When his henchman (Cosmic Neman) is not around beating on the drums for the band-beyond-the-grave, Zombie Zombie, Etienne Jaumet takes control of a spacecraft that only he can manage, cruising outer space on a quest for a deeper sound. As a solo performer, he delves into a box of inspirations drawn from horror movie soundtracks, jazz, French 1970s avant-garde, vintage italo, kosmische, library music and psychedelia, concocting a sound that is sensuous, intoxicating. Breathtaking in its imagination and cinematic scope, Jaumet's live show which takes in saxophone and a vast array of vintage keyboards and synthesizers is essential viewing. 'Night Music", his first CD on Versatile Records (2009) was produced by Carl Craig. "La Visite", his second album was out in 2014. In 2018 Etienne had a new album on Versatile Records with covers of jazz classics: Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Duke Elington, Art Ensemble of Chicago… again played with his signatures analog synths, drum machine and alto sax.

GOAT
(JP / Morphine records)
Guitar, saxophone, bass and drums. Disregarding the musical scale of instruments as much as possible, the band creates songs that consist of noise and muted sounds that produce a techno energy. The trance and fatigue brought about from relentless repetition and the melody-like sounds that comprise harmonics outside the twelve-tone are both urban and tribal at the same time. A LIVE MUST SEE!

GUIDO MOEBIUS
(DE / Autopilot)
In his live sets Möbius creates delicate links between experimentation, handmade techno, funk, polyrhythmic patterns, acid, weird noises and gospel music. Methodically prepared passages and improvisation combine into a coherent set, and Möbius deals with the energy on the fly. Failures and restarts are constant companions and sources of inspiration. At times, Möbius piles up loops of vocal-, trumpet- or guitar-sounds into a mighty drone whose gravity is interrupted abruptly by a driving beat or a gospel choir. It’s different every time. Guido Möbius’ new album “A Million Magnets” will be out in May 2022.

RHYS CHATHAM
(US / Foom)
Rhys Chatham is a composer, guitarist, trumpet player and flutist from Manhattan, currently living in Paris, who altered the DNA of rock and created a new type of urban music by fusing the overtone-drenched minimalism of the early 60s with the relentless, elemental fury of the Ramones — the textural intricacies of the avant-garde colliding with the visceral punch of electric guitar-slinging punk rock. Starting with Guitar Trio in the 1970s and culminating with A Crimson Grail for 200 electric guitars in 2009, Chatham has been working for over 30 years to make use of armies of electric guitars in special tunings to merge the extended-time music of the sixties and seventies with serious hard rock. Chatham’s instrumentation ranges from the seminal composition composed in 1977 entitled Guitar Trio for 3 electric guitars, electric bass and drums, to the epoch evening-length work for 100 electric guitars, An Angel Moves Too Fast to See, composed in 1989… all the way to Chatham’s recent composition for 200 electric guitars, Crimson Grail, which was commissioned by the City of Paris for La Nuit Blanche Festival in 2005. A completely new version of the piece was commissioned by the Lincoln Center Outdoor Summer Festival in 2009. What does a composer do after mounting many performances with forces of 100-200 electric guitars? The composer gets back to basics, at least that’s what Rhys does! Along with the G100 and G3 programs, Chatham is currently offering a solo program, an evening length work with the composer performing himself on electric guitar, trumpets and bass alto and C flutes.

TACHYCARDIE
(France / Un je-ne-sais-quoi)
Tachycardie (drummer for Pneu, La Colonie de Vacances, F.U.T.U.R.OS.C.O.P.E. …) explores on his last LP a field between contemporary music, minimalism and sound art. Sound hypnosis, body endurance and mutant percussion. At the same time exploring the new possibilities offered by the orchestral writing and physical surpassing of his drummer's body, Tachycardie is a reflexive work on the possibilities of solo music which leaves a field of expression to the collaborations that sit at its creation. Therefore, Tachycardie will play live solo, in group with invited musicians, or even in the form of autonomous installations.
