The Pyramids And Wraiths Collaboration...

...is finally available.

Limited to 350 copies on single sided Clear vinyl and just 50 copies on tape. This might be one of those uber rare releases that you spend a bunch of time tracking down to complete your collection.

'Magpie & Raven' sees Pyramids at their most sprawling and with moments of ultimate bombast. With piano provided by Clay Ruby (Burial Hex) as an integral part, the 25 minute plus track weaves around this motif with massive guitars and a spoken word performance that is truly epic before everything dissolves in a maelstrom of organic noise as Wraiths eviscerate the previous musical section to its very atomic particles before all comes together again and the track ends with a sense of calm conclusion.

This amazing release is presented as a limited edition one-sided clear vinyl LP in a signature AB vellum-style sleeve with artwork by noted tattoo artist Simon Erl. The multi-layered artwork can all be soon as one whole when held up to the light. Comes with an MP3 download card. Housed in heavy PVC outer sleeve.

Grab it here... while you can

The First Tape from FERMENTÆ

FERMENTÆ is the solo project of one, Kevin Gan Yuen (Sutekh Hexen, artiste) and Glossolalia is the first tape from the project and is coming via MERZ Tapes.

FERMENTÆ "Glossolalia" CS
Side A: First Contact (Eve) / Side B: Warmest Rapture / Six Farewells
Release Date: April 13, 2012

Edition limited to 100 black shell high-bias, ink-imprinted chrome cassettes.

Here is some more:

"Glossolalia," in some respects, illuminates the underside of nature-inspired dark ambient with passages manipulating foreboding, discordant overtones.  Culturally, the glossolalic denotes an act synonymous with the phenomenon of purportedly speaking in tongues, which, in turn, constructs a new mode of articulating thoughts by uttering words rooted in an unknown language.

Disclosing sonic, yet speech-like syllables exercised in a ritualistic context, FERMENTÆ "Glossolalia" inculcates an idea of language that reintroduces the threat and allure of the magical. 

Sounds great... Pre-order here 

New M. Geddes Gengras...

... is also available from 905 Tapes.  SYSTEMS 1 is a 3 CS package in an equally impressive set up.

whether releasing material under his own name or a bulk of aliases, duos, and trios, m. geddes gengras always manages to produce beyond galactic sounds. over the three cassettes (c40, c44, c62) that make up systems 1, ged gets behind modular synthesizers and tape echos in order to force sparkling tones into supernovas. all of this ear juice is packaged in a triple-tall norelco case. it's easy on the eyes as well. don't sleep on this one. for real.

Below is not from this release, but it will give you some idea of what Gengras sounds like:

New Hobo Cubes...

...is now available from 905 Tapes.  CIEL OPTIQUE is  4 C20 cassette tapes housed in an awesome looking package.

imagine floating in a void. a huge void, if voids are measurable, which i don't think they are. in fact, they can't be. that doesn't make sense. but imagine your floating in that huge void. you don't see anything. you don't feel anything. you just exist. in a void. then, out of literally nowhere four pulsating doors also exist. and you're drawn to them. through each door is two rooms. is room swells in its own unique way with different color hazes to them. that would be nuts, right? this hobo cubes release is also nuts. 4xc20s packaged in a vinyl box. so nuts.

The Latest From Imminent Frequencies

Two new tapes from Imminent Frequencies.

The first, Soundtracks For Brakhage is from Rick Corrigan.

IF17 - RICK CORRIGAN - "SOUNDTRACKS FOR BRAKHAGE"
c34 Edition of 150

Three electronic soundtracks by Rick Corrigan composed for films by the visionary filmmaker Stan Brakhage. During the mid 1980’s Rick Corrigan was part of the Colorado-based experimental ensemble Architect’s Office when he befriended local film legend Stan Brakhage. In the years that followed they would collaborate on numerous film projects and live performances in and around Boulder, Colorado. The three soundtracks presented here were made between 1990-1992 and were composed on a variety of synthesizers and electronic instruments. Over the course of each piece Corrigan uses various techniques to create a wide range of otherworldly sounds. Layers constantly shift in texture and tone forming an aural mosaic. Never redundant and thoroughly genuine, these are the sounds of an amazing electronic synthesis. Transferred from the original cassette masters and featuring artwork created from Brakhage's original 16mm films.

The second is Dawn Widow from Steve Kenney.

IF16 - STEVE KENNEY - "DAWN WIDOW"
c20 Edition of 100

Late night trance-inducing synthesizer music by Steve Kenney. Kenney a long-running figure within the Michigan noise scene may be best known for his work with the audio / visual unit Demons as well as more recent collaborations with Heath Moerland and Andrew Coltrane. The past several years have found Kenney increasingly going solo both on record and in live form. Fresh off the release of his debut LP, Dawn Widow collects recent sessions recorded in Detroit and Mexico City. Kenney supplies two sides of stark electronics consisting of enigmatic swells that pulsate within an endless series of tunneling synth drones and ever-changing tonalities. Desolate and weak, it’s only a matter of time before you loose your sanity.

Kwaidan's First Release

Here is a new tape from Accidental Guest Recordings from a group called Kwaidan which rumor has it is made up of members of Locrian, Catherine, and Zelienople

There's something unsettling about this live recording from Chicago trio Kwaidan, that few bands can put to tape. This recording pushes and pulls the listener, builds up tension and breaks it over and over again. The backbone of this work is not consistency of sound, rather, it is the attack of cymbals and drums that explode to the forefront, only to disappear, bringing to mind the beauty that would take place if Loren Connors played in Taj Mahal Travellers. While it's easy for a work like this to leave too much aural space to the listener, Kwaidan breathtakingly uses each second of these 36 minutes to fill every possible gap without overcrowding any sound. Some toil for years to create a work as consistent as this recording, but Kwaidan does it effortlessly. That in itself makes this cassette uncanny, ethereal, and a true experimental rarity.

RIYL: Taj Mahal Travellers, Loren Connors, Celer, Svarte Greiner, Elegi
