Luigi Turra.
LUIGI TURRA (b. 1975) is a reductionist/electroacoustic composer. His main interest is in the aural balance between silence, tactile perception of sound and aleatoric music. Through the manipulation of concrete and acoustic sources, he develops acoustic paths in which the listener experiences continuous pauses and subtly abrasive tensions. Starting from capturing small sounds and noises, Luigi Turra creates pieces of music, referencing the beauty of imperfection.

Aaron Dilloway & Jason Lescalleet.
Aaron Dilloway: synth and tapes recorded at Tarker Mills, Oberlin OH
Jason Lescalleet: synth, tapes, and Dell XPS recorded and mixed at Glistening Labs, Berwick ME
‘Grapes and Snakes’ is the first collaborative work of two of the most respected American underground experimental/noise artists, Aaron Dilloway and Jason Lescalleet. Using purely analog synths and tape manipulation, they build a foggy psychoacoustic mass that lies between dynamic yet patiently treated tape-music and industrial howl.

Iu Takahashi.
Born and raised in Kanagawa, Japan, Iu Takahashi is a sound artist based in Tokyo. She produces her own musical worldview mainly using synthesizers, ambient sounds, and voices. Iu Takahashi used to do her artist activities as a vocalist before, and now she has created mainly ambient music since 2018, provided her tracks to background music such as exhibitions and introduction videos. Inspired by Japanese ambient music such as Hiroshi Yoshimura and Satoshi Ashikawa, Iu Takahashi, too, creates beautiful works based on Japanese ambient music. And under the concept of soundscape, she always keeps in mind to deliver music that is considerate of the listener’s thoughts and feelings, or music that is conscious of the unconscious mind.

Matana Roberts.
As a composer, Roberts draws upon strategies associated with the post-war avant-garde, including John Cage and Fluxus member Benjamin Patterson’s conceptual approaches to scoring and performance. The immersive work of Maryanne Amacher, in which “sound and the body almost collaborate” is another key influence. “That is the foundation for me of the Coin Coin work,” they explain. “It’s not just the alto saxophone as an instrument placed in the jazz canon, it’s the alto saxophone as an instrument that can be utilised to affect the body.”

Egil Kalman.
Egil Kalman is a musician primarily playing double bass and modular synthesizer. His music draws parallels between folk- and contemporary electroacoustic music via minimalist compositional techniques and improvisation. Utilizing just intonation tunings, hypnotic rythms, synthesized sound mimicking the acoustic and vice versa; his music aims to highlight elements and details from folk music in a different way.

Audint.
Released on their own imprint – AUDINT Records – in late 2023, AUDINT’s soundtrack to their 256-page expanded graphic novel Ghostcode consists of 16 tracks spread over 2 pieces of 180gm vinyl with a matt varnished insert that holds two architectural illustrations of circular cities. Along with a 9-minute animated film that comes with the package through an online URL/password and upcoming immersive installations the project continues to extend and distribute its narrative through a range of emergent media such as AI, lazers and subsonic/hypersonic speakers. Vaporwave ambience and musique concrete meets trap and electro on this soundtrack of haunted dystopias that matches each of the 16 tracks to the 16 chapters of the graphic novel.

Sam Gendel & Ugnė Uma.
Sam Gendel and Ugnė Uma’s Tam Tikri Objektai Erdvėje album sketches a layered, melismatic and intertextual view on what both performers define as a lightness of being. Ugnė Uma’s musical stance is influenced by experimental poetry and Lithuania’s 20th century underground music scene – jazz and folk, resulting from the liberation of the country’s independence movements. Sam Gendel, from Los Angeles, is a saxophonist and producer, proficient on more instruments than the saxophone alone, whose recorded work both solo and collaborative has brought him acclaim as a vital new voice in modern jazz and beyond.

Scanner.
Robin Rimbaud – Scanner is an artist and composer working in London. Since 1991 he has been intensely active in sonic art, producing concerts, installations and recordings. His work has been presented throughout the United States, South America, Asia, Australia and Europe. This album was written as a tribute to the early 1960s library music culture, applying crude techniques of electronic composition, using a mix of hardware and software. It explores a kind of musique concrète, electroacoustic character, in an otherworldly cinematic fashion.

Process Blue.
Process Blue was formed in the fall of 1981, at Antioch College near Dayton, Ohio. The group essentially consists of Chel White (tapes, keyboards, percussion) and Dan Gediman (keyboards, vocals, bass). Additional members contributed at various points to both recorded works and live performance. Process Blue’s original interest was in electronic music and the interfacing of electronic sounds with acoustic instruments, non-musical instruments, and tape-manipulated sounds. The group’s primary objective has been to strive for creative experimentation within the format of contemporary pop music.

Batu.
Producer, DJ and owner of the Timedance record label. Drawing inspiration from the ambiance of chill-out rooms and their ability to channel the intense emotions of rave, he presents an entrancing voyage into post-euphoria, where self-exploration lives at the border of lucid dreaming and reality. By recontextualizing his signature studies of the frontiers between organic and synthetic sounds outside of dancefloors, the multi-faceted producer displays a blissfully radiant and emotive side throughout an ecstatic journey.

K. Paul.
Patrick Stas arrived on planet Earth on January 25th, 1954, in Ixelles, Brussels. Here he would spend his early years, until the moment his parents bid their Brussels catering career farewell. By his own admission, music was of no interest to the young Patrick. His parents’ record collection left him cold. Bands like Les Compagnons de la Chanson, much-loved by Patricks parents, got on his nerves. Just one record managed to charm him: a soul record by Sam & Dave. Not coincidentally a record his mother detested. How that record ended up in the collection no one knows, but it was the spark that lit Patrick’s burning love for music. A fire that would never fade until his death.

Éric La Casa & Seijiro Murayama.
Éric La Casa has worked in the field of sound creation since the early nineties through recording, record production, installation, radio and various types of publications. For 25 years, while listening to the environment, he has been questioning the perception of reality and has tried to expand the notion of infra-ordinary (milieu at low intensity), from background noise to the inaudible passing by the wait. As a result of his in-situ listening processes, he explores the phenomenological power of reality in everyday life. In the same way that the map stimulates a country’s reading, the in situ aesthetic object renews our relationship to space and time.
Seijiro Murayama was born in Japan, percussionist, drummer, worked with Fred Frith, Tom Cora, Keiji Haino, KK Null between 1980 and 1998. He lived and works in France in 1999-2012 and now in Japan.

Philip Sulidae.
Philip Sulidae is an artist from Hobart, Australia. His practice draws on over a decade of sound art practice, focusing on field recording and acousmatic recordings. During this time he has created intriguing and compelling sound recordings many of which have been released by labels including Line Editions, Gruenrekorder and Dinzu Artefacts. More recently, Sulidae has broadened this practice into installations that use found object and sculptural form. These works utilise a fluidity and instability of sound to provide a freedom to speculate, whilst the inherent connection that recording and found object has with place gives rise to a tension between the known and unknown. This has in turn reconfigured his recording practice with more emphasis on found sound, phonology and the interconnection of memory and imagination.

Un Caddie Renversé dans l’Herbe.
Un Caddie Renversé dans l’Herbe is Bilal Dídac P. Lagarriga. This album on the Cellule 75 continues and refines his explorations of African minimalist music played on mbira, kalimba, balaphon, vibraphone, melodica and flute, combined with field recordings of African soundscapes and ritual chants, several collaborations and electronic interventions.

Ennio Morricone.
Ennio Morricone is rightly considered one of the world’s greatest film composers, a legend whose work has reached far beyond the scorched desert-scapes of Almeria (A Few Dollars More) and the tumultuous waters of Iguazu Falls (The Mission). Much sought after by filmmakers the world over for his matchless versatility and productivity, Morricone’s innovative soundworks and truly exhaustive range of musical styles have complemented practically every conceivable movie genre there is.

Carrier.
Guy Alexander Brewer is perhaps best known as Shifted – a techno project started in 2011 that focuses on the conflation of textural minutiae which build up to form complex, multi-dimensional wholes – but his career can also comfortably be defined as a kind of shape-shifting between starkly different guises. He has previously released as Covered In Sand, Alexander Lewis and A Model Authority, as well as his given name – monikers that allow him to circumvent techno and arrive at decidedly noisier pastures – and, in a previous life, he represented half of the influential drum & bass duo, Commix.

Abul-Loul the Singer and the Hole.
The project of Al-Mutreb Abul-Loul (Abul-Loul, a nickname that translates to The Father/The King of Pearls) culminates in a bodily manifestation of a very real and very rare pearl; a case with hardly any medical literature; the development of a scrotal pearl, removed under general anesthesia, adding to the series of the many unfortunate and absurd occurrences that describe Abul-Loul’s life, and calling for the abortion of this project to make room for a new undertaking.
