Coppice – Epoxy
Sale, TapeThe prolific Chicago based duo of Noé Cuéllar and Joseph Kramer have produced a steady stream of increasingly impressive music for a few years now. This cassette sees Coppice focus less on the electronics and bellows their releases have normally involved, and instead turns the ear back on the recording process itself. The duo played a number of improvisations with various guest musicians, and captured the performances using a tape deck modified to play back and record at the same time. Exactly how this process works isn’t quite clear, but the end result is two pieces of strange, hauntingly oblique music that completely disguise the voice, cello, guitars, etc that are apparently embedded in there somewhere and replace them with a smudged blur of intriguing, strange activity. It’s more a kind of immediate, acoustic musique concrète than improvisation in its natural sense, full of murky but vastly contrasting colours and a wide range of dynamics.Original price was: £8.00.£4.00Current price is: £4.00. -

Coppice – Pied
Sale, TapeSince late 2009 we have developed compositions using a modified boombox – a tape loop machine that records and plays back simultaneously. Sounds that enter it are released within seconds, sounding gentle feedback. Our first compositions using this boombox and a shruti box marked the beginnings of our collaboration as Coppice, and a phase of up-close entwinement of both instruments in decidedly quiet gestures. Since then, we have expanded our dynamic palette and range of instrumentation to include more bellowed instruments, custom instruments and other electronic processes. Last Fall, we began imagining what has become Pied, a composition for tape, pump organ and the boombox. Its form contrasts the tapes’ fibrous processing with the more tabular appearances of microtonal pump organ transpositions – performed quietly but loudly amplified to bring out interferences and resonances by means of the original microphone techniques. On one hand, Pied is a stark display of our sounds as solo artists, but in a borderline duet: five pump organ sections (recorded in Summer 2011 at Fljótstunga, Iceland) alternating with their boombox mediation and trails.Original price was: £8.00.£5.00Current price is: £5.00. -

Jeff Gburek – The Watermark
CD, SaleFirst conceived as the stain of water on paper. Irremovable. The identify of a particular action. Irreversible. Then the tracing of that action, in this case a melodic fragment or tone cluster, with painstaking exactitude, to create a forgery of the accident. Form born from seeming chaos or which reveals a kind of coherence that underscores the cosmos. It’s all right. It’s all wrong. See-saw in your playground. Next thought of as the manner the signature is added to what I do without my knowing it. In what I do. In each case, some little detail that marks out and yet implies the agent. A way to remain, yours truly. Thirdly, the color of water itself and the color of now. There is the place where I make this. It’s not the physical apartment but the space machine that I call Villa dei Misteri. Let’s call a studio. I have been receiving rare but welcome visits and a few of these tracks are the result of such meetings.Original price was: £12.00.£6.00Current price is: £6.00. -

Raglani / N.N.N. Cook – Split
Sale, TapePro-duplication and imprinting in black ink on clear shells with gold foil liners. Edition of 200 on high bias tape… On the A side is a new track commissioned specifically for close/far recordings. Sig. to Ether Error seems to channel a distant astral oratorio. Slowly your mind’s eye is activated and begins to build its own temple. Reconciling the synthetic with the organic, Raglani coaxes a state of concord between himself and his circuitry. On the B side the primary sound source is an electronic unit, the Meridian Box, custom designed and built by Joseph Kramer. It consists of six oscillators with independent pitch controls and electrodes controlled by body resistance. Otherness Figments immediately sweeps you into its current, enveloping your body with hum and crackle. Punctuated by blasts and tears in time, jarring moments begin to smear and stretch. As you pan across your barren destination, mirages dance across the landscape. Abruptly, your Dionysian journey ends in repose.Original price was: £8.00.£4.00Current price is: £4.00. -

Alberto Boccardi / Lawrence English
Sale, VinylThe idea of the split comes from the recording sessions in the summer of 2012 that Alberto realized with the chorus of classical and contemporary music Antonio LaMotta. Alberto sends Lawrence all the material leaving him complete freedom in manipulation. In A side Alberto develops a path in three movements, where each part is independent but at the same time connected to the others; the sequence evolves as inevitable. Lawrence said about his tracks: “This is what I’d like to think of as Land Music. Perhaps sharing something with the perspective scale of Land Art, in which a massing of micro elements create a marco feature, these small sounds when transformed etch out contours and long envelopes of shape across the air. The pieces breathe with a kind of uneasy familiarity. Sounds of the human world and the natural world co-exist at equal states of transformation.”Original price was: £15.00.£10.00Current price is: £10.00. -

Heidi Harris – Cut The Line
Sale, VinylPressed on 140g standard weight black vinyl in recycled cardboard jackets, with full color printed front/back artwork… “The most piercing element of Cut the Line is its use of repetition. As the title indicates, Harris’s fourth full length presents the process of separation. This presentation is deliberately calculated and refined: Harris’s goal while writing was to “create songs that covered as many different perspectives as [she] could imagine.” Whether it is lyrically, such as the playful vocals in “Oh My,” or instrumental, such as the dynamic riff in “Maple,” perspective is accomplished through repetition. In both cases, the consistent repetition and intentionally subtle variations lend an encompassing ambience to beautifully unembellished tracks. Harris intended to build on the loose “in the moment” style of recording she had done in the past with this release. There are certainly still moments of lively and disorienting experimentation, but the music never seems out of reach. “Carved In” contains a very pop influenced vocal melody that eventually gives way to a free flowing, liberated harp section – an instrument in which Harris experimented with here for the first time. Overall, Cut the Line is grounded in amicably layered vocals and very fitting minimalistic production. Harris also called on a variety of artists to fill out the album, including Teletextile and Inner Ocean’s own Cory Zaradur, Porya Hatami, Sima Kim and Joaquín Mendoza Sebastián. Cut the Line is an accomplished and thoroughly structured album that still manages to capture the energizing feel of a relaxed impromptu performance.”Original price was: £15.00.£10.00Current price is: £10.00. -

Banabila / Erker / Machinefabriek / Zenial
Sale, Vinyl12-inch 140 gram vinyl. Handnumbered limited edition of 250. Comes in a full colour matte sleeve. Artwork with kite aerial photography by Gerco de Ruijter… Banabila & Erker & Machinefabriek & Zenial is a limited vinyl release showcasing some of Banabila’s diverse collaborations along with a few new tracks. Tracks earlier released are “Deep in the Forest” (from “Route Planner “) and “More Signals from Krakrot” (from “The Latest Research From The Dept. of Electrical Engineering”). “Crowds”, however is an excitingly different version than the one known from the Sum Dark 12 release. The two new tracks are the opening track “Ill Rave” (with Machinefabriek) and the delicate “Drops”. B-E-M-Z.clearly demonstrates Banabila’s versatility. But then – most of his albums do!

Lopez / Sigurta – Erm
CD, SaleThis is a split album comprised of two very different tracks, which are nonetheless built around the same original material. The tracks could be described as a suite, divided in movements, of around 20 minutes each, which allow for the specific characteristics of the two musicians to emerge. Sigurtà delves primarily into drone-based territories drawing sonic landscapes oscillating between the ethereal and the concrete, often harboring a beat whereas López works with and within the minutiae of sound, penetrating into the most intricate textures and creating rhythmic patterns with glitches and fragments of sound, while keeping to a well defined and steady musical path. The Sigurtà / López split sees two generations, two worlds and two different approaches to music coming together on one single album.Original price was: £10.00.£6.00Current price is: £6.00. -

Gideon Wolf – I Am Wolf
Sale, TapeLimited edition of 75 c40 produbbed and imprinted cassettes. Pro printed double sided J card… I am Wolf is a departure from my debut album Paper released on Fluid Audio last summer. The modern classical elements of my previous album (piano and cello) have been replaced with vocals and a more dynamic use of electronic beats and ambient textures. The contrasts of hard and soft are starker on these tracks and the ambient elements are holding together what might spill over into chaos at any moment. At the outset of this album it was clear for me that I wanted to go further with the treatment and use of my voice which I had begun to explore on my first album and to see where writing lyrics and singing would take me. On I am Wolf the voice or song is used primarily as an instrument, and although it often threatens to come forward I’ve rarely allowed it to break free from the other repetitive elements of the music. Neon Marks is probably the only really recognizable song on the album but even so all the tracks here have been informed or created around structures and ideas that began at one stage with the voice. If Paper had been about movement and traveling through urban spaces, then I would say that this album represents traveling at night and the darker imaginary spaces these nocturnal worlds create.Original price was: £7.00.£4.00Current price is: £4.00. -

A preview of some tracks via Soundcloud led to the interest in releasing it on Twice Removed. Ben describes himself as a “Psychonautic composer from the realms of the internet” rather than a musician and this is evident in the scope of his music which covers a variety of genres such as Ambient, Modern Classical, IDM and others with a very strong soundtrackesque feel which is highlighted by his collaborations with Dan Donahoo on both this and his previous album “From Atop A Frozen Summit”Original price was: £8.00.£4.00Current price is: £4.00. -

Mary Lattimore – The Withdrawing Room
Sale, VinylHeavyweight black vinyl with cover design by Chris Koelle… Seek solace. Be still and drift. Withdraw and be there. There. Inside. A chair awaits. A beginning built from an ending, from leaving, from afar. In times such as these, The Withdrawing Room is a safe haven to leave behind all that weighs heavily and surrounds us. We remark how comfortable the chair is, how exquisite the view is outside the window, the aroma, the breaths to be taken as you become aware of the minutia all around you and the sounds emanating from Mary Lattimore’s harp, warming your feet, your hands, your heart. Breathe. Previous collaborations have seen Mary matching wits with such esteemed luminaries as Thurston Moore, Meg Baird, Kurt Vile, Ed Askew, Fursaxa, and Jarvis Cocker. But for this debut work, Mary sequestered herself in a room, much like this one, to kindle three distinct works for keeping the listener company as he or she enjoys the view. The nuanced notes of the harp strings sing and reverberate amid subtle electronics courtesy of Jeff Zeigler on the 24-minute long piece “You’ll Be Fiiinnne;” “Pluto the Planet” meanders at a slow and steady pace as the sun makes its way across the sky and the gentle plucks of the silk and steel resonate within, beyond; the closing chaos of “Poor Daniel” charts a recklessness that embraces the listener as he or she quietly makes their way out of the room to tackle the world anew.Original price was: £20.00.£12.00Current price is: £12.00. -

Chronovalve – Trace Of Light
CD, SaleComes in a new 4 panel thick card package designed by Christian Roth and Ian Hawgood, in an edition of 500… Chronovalve is the ambient music project of Mike Engebretson. For those that don’t know the work of this amazing artist, we’ve known him since his (sadly missed) Smallfish days. The connection with Smallfish Records (see Isnaj Dui, bvdub…and really, a huge amount of what we have put out and one of the main sources of inspiration for the label) continues as Chronovalve was a key component of the Smallfish realm. Smallfish was an incredible record store and highly regarded label based in east London. I happened to live right opposite the store for a year. It was here that I gained my real music education into more minimal / ambient work, going daily to the store to see what new music they had on offer. After Smallfish sadly closed its doors a number of years ago, many of the artists on the label went off to release some wonderful work. Perhaps the best known of these would be bvdub, Celer, and Isnaj Dui of course. However, one of my favourite artists from the Smallfish days seemingly went under the radar, and that was Chronovalve. Now, some 5 years after discovering this wonderful artist, and after not releasing anything in that time, Chronovalve is finally back. We are thrilled that we are able to carry on the Smallfish torch, even if it is in a small way. His work has always been wonderfully melodic and textured, but ‘Trace of Light’ develops further with its choral tone, and haunting (even angelic) melodies and structures. It may well have taken its time to get here, but we are so glad that it finally has.Original price was: £8.00.£4.00Current price is: £4.00. -

Chihei Hatakeyama – Alone by The Sea
CD, SaleChihei Hatakeyama was influenced by Fudaraku-tokai. It is a form of the ascetic practice of sacrifice performed in medieval Japan. A monk undertaking this practice would set out to sea in a small, single-sailed (but oar-less and rudderless) boat in the hope of arriving at the southern paradise of the Bodhisattva of Compassion (Avalokitesvara; Guanyin; Kannon). The fudaraku tokai was carried out over twenty times between the eleventh and seventeenth centuries.

Bjerga / Micromelancolie – Momentum
CD, SaleTwin, extended drones, smooth, minimal but bumpy with data coursing just beneath their skin and executed with great aplomb. Sindre Bjerga is a multifaceted sound artist amongst whose impressive discography can be unearthed gems of both dark and lighter ambient, while Micromelancolié is Robert Skrzyński, who is also Microdepresja, and who belabours “no-input mixing board, old VHS tapes, classic analogues and field recordings.” This is their second collaboration. “Towards Water” begins with fluorescent bulb buzz in the empty hallway leading down to hell and the thousand voices murmuring are distressing, a torture of one thousand cuts. It quietly shears against the ears and furrows the brow. Surprisingly, the dark, low undertone that stealthily emerges is majestic, almost comforting when in other contexts would be decidedly creepy. On the title track, a miserable piano is left out in a field, under skies in which clouds of iron clash. But “Momentum” gets more complicated, a stream of consciousness churning through coaxial cable, visited with the same, low, dull, ultimately maddening white noise and muffled, mundane chatter. Despite the unwelcome company, Momentum is gorgeously desolate. One must admire the restraint the duo commands, elegantly and perversely amplifying its ghastliness. - IglooOriginal price was: £8.00.£3.00Current price is: £3.00. -

Moon Zero – Tombs
Sale, TapeBlack cassette in clear cases with cover art inlay, limited to 50 copies… Recorded onto an 8-track at St George In The East Church in Shadwell, London last October, ‘Tombs’ is the debut release for Tim Garratt under his Moon Zero moniker. This four track EP introduces Tim’s approach to noise-drone, incorporating melody and structure, delivered through processed instrumentation and filtered electronics. ‘Tombs’ is, especially for a debut, a bold and confident musical statement, which reimagines the possibilities of processed organ and laptop sounds in a live context. EP-opener ‘Dalyan’ builds from slowly wavering layers of sound into a crumbling, decaying wall of fuzzed-out, peaking noise, which in turn builds again into ever-moving blocks of chopped loops and feedback, absorbing the listener completely into Moon Zero’s musical space. Yet the real power of the EP is in the fact that Moon Zero’s compositions include all of the elements included above, without ever attempting to sound ‘like’ other noise / ambient / drone artists – the entire EP flows seamlessly from form to form, constituting of some of the most unashamed and fresh takes on musical ideas that are so often presented as tired, genre-defining clichés. A remarkable listen.Original price was: £7.00.£4.00Current price is: £4.00. -

Valiska – A Day as a Blade of Grass
CD, Sale200 limited edition digipak CD’s… In his 24-minute opus ‘A Day as a Blade of Grass’, Krzysztof Sujata glides effortlessly through the shared spaces of ambient, noise and modern classical to craft one of the defining works of his rapidly expanding oeuvre. Delicate piano phrases and trembling guitars hold the piece together, sliding in and out of view across its six sections under punishing waves of feedback and static. But for all of the noise and jittering experimentation that skitters through the mix, Sujata is most infatuated with those slivers of light in the darkness that give space to reflect. It’s in those moments when the truly human elements of his music are brought to the fore and the connections between the fragments are made in the mind of the listener. To dissect the essential fabric of sound is a difficult enough task, but doing it with such care and devotion marks Valiska out as an artist in complete control of his craft. With its emotional resonance and sonic verve, ‘A Day as a Blade of Grass’ is a captivating and transportive piece from one of the most highly respected figures in contemporary ambient music.Original price was: £8.00.£5.00Current price is: £5.00. -

Attilio Novellino – Through Glass
CD, SaleAttilio Novellino is an Italian soundartist born in Catanzaro in 1983. He started to make music under the moniker of “Un vortice di bassa pressione”, under which he has released “Anonymous said” (2009, Inglorious Ocean), a mainly electronic-ambient work with some post-rock echoes. He also curated and contributed a track to “Underwater Noises” (2010, Ephre Imprint / Lost Children), a compliation album about the theme of water, which contains tracks by 15 Italian artists. A one-track Ep called “Lost Days” will be released in January by Small Doses. Attilio is also a member of Sentimental Machines. Through Glass emerged from thoughts about the power of the light filtered through glass: as the light, so the sound can be reflected in a thousand directions, giving rise to previously inaudible material, with a mysterious and intense charm. Attilio Novellino explores the intersection between noise, dissonance and melody, with a physical and emotional approach to his compositions, aiming to create an unconventional and uncontrollable beauty. Guitar, electronics, deep basses, field recordings, piano and harsh distortions are used to build dreamy and melancholy soundscapes, to draw floating layers and to launch drone textures that become noise, streaked by misty romanticism, characterized by a pronounced emotional side that combines post-industrial visions, deep-sea creature lights, nocturnal glows, blurred pictures and old memories. Over the last years, Attilio Novellino has performed at festivals and art events such Flussi Festival and Diagonal Jazz / Diagonal Visual, playing, during the last edition, a fully improvised set with Ahleuchatistas, as a duo with his live partner Leastupperbound.Original price was: £10.00.£5.00Current price is: £5.00.
