mindboggling covers that will most likely render all your other new age LPs obsolete but you will feel pretty allright with that in the end.

50 copies, recycled tapes
laughter, forgiveness, commitment, tradition and fear.

D.D. DOBSON: ritual bath (HYSTER30, 2020)
*odd transmission(s) from california - for example: insects shuffling, crawling thru western breeze pipes,
bubbling under mangled broadcasts and shiny diamond caves, minimal groove & inept yet spirited horn action,
skewed house of mirrored sound and tar pit jazz from planet mud.
could be thought as a kind of parallel tape with LAL DDD release called "Cycles of celebrations" since
material on both tapes is culled from same session.

MODELBAU: thermolite (HYSTER33, 2022)
was 44 copies, all gone


JAZZHAND: muuttomatkalainen (HYSTER34, 2022)
*one sided three track C90 that manages to go all over the map, bit like the person behind it. first track is magnificent,
5 dimensional 30 minute whining, meandering piece of kunnon kentta-aanityksia eika mitaan syntikoita which slowly
evolves into a mighty, carefully assembled hissing blizzard of crispy, light noise. sound of nature? second track is nothing
but spacious synth(s) blops, booms and swooshes. slightly galactic. finally, suiting for the confusing whole, third track
is almost folk made with kantele, delay, dripping water(?) and a deep nod towards old 70s lords of modern classic and
maybe a slight tip of a hat to 00s US freak folk masters..? anyway, sun = moon, contact mic water.

all gone from here. https://totes-format.weebly.com/ might still have copies


DEL STEPHEN: listener (HYSTER36, 2022)
*hidden faraway island dream stasis, walkman fieldrec cassette magie from streets of Vancouver and a rooftop in Toronto,
your surroundings, minimal underwater Tetris jazz, tiny starlit celestial night and morning in the park.
yet of course you as a listener will hear something else. involving listen in multiple ways.

HUMAN ADULT BAND: 3.12.22 - 7.12.22 (HYSTER37, 2023)
*there is automatic writing and then there is automatic rock. this is the latter with healthy doses of free noise, slow doom dirge
jams, strange snippets of scuzz and a degenerating 5 sec tape loop to end it all. a glorious, 120% analogue, over the top lo-fi
production.
32 copies on recycled cassettes

more than meets the eye


ARCHIVES ASSISTANT: television road (HYSTER38, 2024)
*60+ min. six tracks of wonderful left-field experimental / ambient electronics and field-recordings. weird, obscured, calm
disjointed, lively, bass-heavy and occasionally raw & minimal dubby atmospherics. while it manages to wander and cover a
lot of ground it never feels discordant yet thought out and planned, working within multifaceted odd inner logic of its own. in
other words: timeless, vast and green.

O T H E R T A P E S:



AMEK DRONE ENSEMBLE: op. 1 (amex002)
*one long improvisational drone piece recorded during "Sofia drone day" on May 25, 2019 at Fabrika
Avtonomia in Sofia, Bulgaria.
6e + postages

ANGEL SIMITCHIEV & LINUS SCHRAB: airborne (AMEK051)
*if youre going to get just one Amek collective release this year it should be this collaboration tape.
might be the pinnacle of the label so far..
6e + postages

ANIMA CAERULEA & KESKIAJAN KEVÄT: tulen nousu (PST001)
*here are three tracks of digital, crepuscular and slightly gallant neofolk with sounds that sound like theres
a moderately conservative preset configurations kept on keyboards and other machines. this might do well
as a soundtrack for a fantasy themed computer game? have to say that at this point in time i really have no
way of knowing if this is any good or not. experts mention its promising. its also prob quite rare since there
are only 33 copies made.
7e + postages

ANTONY MILTON: off-white (AKTICAS-7)
*sad and sincere sounding, slow, dreamy and meandering emotional experimental glitchy psych leftfield lo-fi pop
with occasional cool and fried and almost collapsing noodling electric guitar solos. this was a lathe cut LP in 2017.
now in 2023 its a C-cassette. wondering if there will be an neural-audio-hologram (NAH) version out in 2046?
8e + postages

THE ARCHIVES ASSISTANT: jasmine tapes warship (VAC-058)
*superb 80 min tape of spacious, dubby, cracklin and hissing sample and loop-based soudscapes of many faces. slowly drifting on and on..
for instant proof click the archives assistant: jasmine tapes warship bandcamp link
6e + postages

ARSENY LITVIN: Requiem: Last Lullaby For Riurik (PMR_51)
*calm & static 40+ minute ambient/drone with a nice music box-like motif going on and on.
one sound-element might be a bit slowed down recording of cat´s purr..? a pleasant listen.
Riuruk (2013-2019) was a cat.
3e + postages

ARSENY LITVIN: red album (l.album pour enfants) (PMR_56)
*curious tape collague of slightly effected dialogue snippets in russia, experimental electronics, bit of noise,
bit of drone, couple tracks of odd children-song-like structures, some beats etc etc. rather dada.
3e + postages

AUTHARKTOS: carpetscapes (TCD1432017)
*basically a nice experimental tape of droning sine waves and/or keyboards, tiny sounds, garbled tape whine,
confused atmospheres, the usual fare. all good & fine. yet what makes this tape stand out a bit is its way odd
production values and choices - there is really weird digital crap glitch on top of everything through the whole tape,
sometimes it fits almost magically and sometimes its really fucking annoying. its close to a sound you might get when
recording something really loud with cheap earbuds. this tape is edition of 18 copies.. which is probably just fine since
it is clearly not for everyone. file under: annoying, limited, baltic & brilliant.
ps. somehow this tape also reminds me at times of Crochet from UK.. i have no idea why.
4e + postages

BARDO TODOL / DEVID CIAMPALINI: el origen del pensamiento magico (IKASUS-063)
*pretty inspired collaboration between two italians and one argentine. new ageish / ambient, experimental synth /
electronics with odd snippets of field recordings, effected monologues, shallow & tiny drumming, bells, toys and
such, all assembled into an weird, flowing collage. really diverse & really good!
6e + postages

COSMIC HOMEOSTASIS (VAC-069)
*side a, collaborative meandering cosmic experimental ambient piece called broken telephone from 2020,
made online during early lock-down by 16 musicians. an calm, mysterious and bit oppressive affair, perhaps
a bit like early Tangerine Dream at points? side b a track called Christies transmission which is compiled from two
live performaces recorded at a park in 2021 by almost the same 16 people who are involved in broken telephone.
its gentle, thoughtful yet bit sombre ambience. flutes, bells, electronics and Maple Leafs baseball game. real nice tape!
7e + postages

CRISTIANO CAROSI: vipera nido di (SA25)
*carefully selected collection of many tiny sounds. at times it plays out like a very small and very fragmented Tex
Avery cartoon, a beatiful, haunting, adventurous, mesmerizing and aquatic cartoon made with synths and magnetic
tape.
7e + postages

CRUCIAL GENESIS OUTFITS (DCR-011 / VAC-037)
*on the tape cover it also states: "NO WORDS FOR THESE KIND OF BIRDS". this is a split tape between Fire moss
and Think of a name, both (maybe) from Canada. side F.M has a four fine minimal pieces made with (mostly scraped
and delayed) violin, bass, keyboards,synth and piano. all is real airy and totally wonderful.
on side T.O.A.N there is a great live recording from year 2018 made in Welland. hard to describe slowly morphing,
meandering, experimental, psychedelic and improvised maze of samples, guitar, bass, loops and such. real good!
7e + postages

D. D. DOBSON: the buried life (DX1007)
*seven tracks made with electric and acoustic guitar both with six low E strings and three microphones. wailing,
crumbling & lively feedback. recorded in 1985, mono.
8e + postages

D.D. DOBSON: uncreated past (DX1013)
*material from year 1998, tape released 2015. many tiny, very murky blurred electronic and acoustic experimental
pieces and some hard to explain snippets of totally rotten dialogue. mysteries of history revealed? never!
very much recommended.

DEBT OF NATURE: san salvador day (DX1009)
*Recorded 2014, beautiful and almost sacred.
8e + postages

DEL STEPHEN: interdependence map (VACANCY RECS. 027)

with occasional, minimal percussion rhythms. real and excellent.

FRISSON MMXX (amex003)
*compilation of live recordings. tracks from Late, Evitceles, Cyberian 1.0, Kr.ll.r, Mytrip, OOHS! and Amek Drone Ensemble.

HEART STRUCTURE QUARTET: soul horses (VAC-048)
*quartet improvisations with clarinet, effects, voice, percussion, guitar, keys, synth, pedals, samples,
tapes, contact mics. just really beautiful and solid tape. its bit hard to describe so go there and listen
https://vacancyniagara.bandcamp.com/album/soul-horses-vac-048
7e + postages

HUMAN ADULT BAND: T. Penn collections (SAGA HOUSE 3)
*this collection includes: one great droning 17 min neck of a bass vs. amp haze, scuzzy & messy lo-fi recordings of
songs in minimal band setups, some bass / guitar duo situations. lots of noisy improlike, free psych noodling. one T.Rex cover.
i guess these are mostly recorded in live situations at shady houses and basements in new jersey. you can almost hear the mold.
A side is B side played backwards.. dont really know whats the idea behind that but it sure is annoying!
5e+ postages

HUNTON QUINTET: kuutelus (IKASUS-03)
*Concrete and Stepanoff with guitars, percussions, synths/laptop, vocals and piano in Porvoo AD 2005.
athmospheric, creepy, devastating and totally disorienting experience. i think they recorded some things under
the name ANTI/UTON many, many years ago..
4 euro + postages

IAINEN: virta (BROWNHILL MAFIA)
*A side a neat report on a dark dream / vision, flows like an odd radio-play of sorts. B side feels more free-form with nice experimental
ambient scapes drifting around. through the whole tape there is weird and interesting juxtaposition with cleaner, modern sounds and some
older, dirtier and somehow analogier objects.. recorded in somewhere called "ilmestysmaja".. which maybe translates as "vision hut"?
real good one.
6e + postages

JACKIE O MOTHERFUCKER: channel zero (AKTICAS-6)
*live recording from Italy 2006, it starts with a heartbeat and then inept fluting, humming and wailing, echoed bells, percs, mumbled
statements, slow chance punting, rattle, screech all get involved and then it somehow ends finally in a incomprehensible sing a song
action. its a ritualistic mess, yes.
8e + postages

JAZZHAND: verhous (eë editions 05)
*bright, almost neon, green tape in a clean, sophisticated, neat, hand-folded and stamped cardboard box with a typewritten small and blue
info-slip. again, a travelogue of sorts - this time you find yourself in India, Catalonia and San Antonio of Texas. you might be pressed to
ask how i know about this and i would not tell you. carefully assembled confusing cut-up and/or layered field-recordings, rustling of cans,
hitting of pans -TV dialogue, street shouting, street noises, street hiss and ritual chants, Finnish, English, Hindi, all camouflaged so that
even if you know the language it wont make much sense most of the time. verhous is finnish for cladding but that is probably just a
coincidence. the tape starts with a unsuccessful phone call and ends with deep plunge thru wheezing, temple-like tunnels occupied by small
computer-like gadgets and finally arriving into middle of a mass of something sacred. "waltz for lorelai", indeed. its simultaneously an
familiar yet totally alien chapter in the ongoing war against time by one, jazzhand kinda guy. salute the dawn!
7e + postages

J.K.: aurinkovuosi (IKASUS-112)
*compilation of vuosi cassette singles 103, 104, 105, 107 and 108. now you can have these beautiful
shimmering short drone experiment vignettes neatly on one cassette tape. convenient!
6e + postages

JORGE VICARIO: broken music (JZK030)
*C40 tape that sounds at times like a skipping cd-player with a bit of soul. could be filed under minimal easy-listening
glitch, maybe? dont know if on purpose or not but anyway well fitting for this release, the liner notes are also written
in very broken english. nice listen.
4+postages

JUHO TOIVONEN: suurpää (IKASUS-109)
*two 13+min tracks of very coherent, thoughtful, lively and breathing droning ambient. side A brings to mind certain hissing and
humming NZ sound, without sounding like a copy. Suurpää is a district in Ulvila, Silmarillion is a book by Tolkien, do the math.
recommended.
6e + postages

KOBEUK: the dope smut huckster (RUPU018)
*great, plentiful, chaotic, warm, lo-fish junk noise pedalism that has a nice, mostly midpaced loose playful yet focused feel & a real good
eye for detail. flows exceptionally good yet that metal whales sing you cannot be sure what comes next. recommended.
5e + postages

LEITMOTIV LIMBO: limbo / wind swept (SM01)
*stark, minimal,lo-fi, very strange and often just downright creepy soundscapes/songs made mainly with saxophone (or some
suchlike wind instrument[s]), crude electronics, occasional beaten metal junk and blurred vocals. covers look like theyve
been somehow programmed with VCR on a piece of tapestry and the tapes been spraypainted with.. something.
7e + postages

LEITMOTIV LIMBO: minimal sphere (SM04)
*analogue diy synths, vague alien logic, disjointed pulses and sub-level swooshes - all skewed into a dry, shining, creepy,
confusing, slow,distant bleep and howl. lo-fi hiss of fever melt mess / ping / stasis. ifyou plan to go stalking E.T., here is
a potent soundtrack. covers: cryptic fonts on thick gold cardboard, recycled, shotgun spraypainted tapes.
7e + postages

LEITMOTIV LIMBO: spiritual disturbance (NO LABEL..?)
*C60 of self-built wood & iron spring percussion-like instruments recorded in 2020 with two room microphones onto
4-track at a church hall in adelaide, australia. occasionally rhythmic, cavernous, crackling, hissing, and quite bleak yet
lucid outsider vision. released in 2022, recycled, spraypainted tapes.
7e + postages

MARC BENNER + SICK DAYS: waste of time, waste of money / submit split (VAC-055)
*Benner: real tasty 10 minute of mushy fieldrec, tapehiss and maybe, just maybe, some minimal synth work. excellent and confusing listen!
Sick days: close recording of wind, water or fire and a soothing, meandering plink plonk of a music box / xylophone / electric toy piano or
such + radio / contact mic scrape & hiss.
all in all - a tape of mighty bliss for days on end! very recommended.
6e + postages

MAGNETIC LAKE: s/t (CAT-001)
*weird hypnag. pop, songs from Odessa, UKR. at times sounds really oddly much like early lydia lunch.
5e + postages

THE MAGNETIC NORTH DUO / GREY PARK: split (IKASUS-016)
*about 30min of live material from both. side a minimalism recorded in norway, side b maximalism recorded in lithuania.
both selections from year 2010.
4e + postages

MÉNARD / GARCIA: split (VAC-059)
*on recycled C60. Julius Menard side: two tracks of beautiful, quite static and shimmering cosmic ambient.
Miguel A. Garcia side: slightly manipulated minimal electronic buzz, massive digital glitch symphony and bottled, ghostly voices.
7e + postages

NOLLS: devils tower (LOT004)
*couple noisy/messy pop punk/rock songs, some crude & not so crude experimental tracks. released at the end of the year 2018.
you can listen two tracks from the tape here: soundcloud.com/nolls
5e + postages

OTHER SLIGHTLY (eë editions 02)
*excelent and diverse compilation w/ Daphne X, Ted Byrnes, David Grubbs, Morgan Evans-Weiler, Apaixonar and Madison Greenstone.
sounds incl. atleast: atmospheric, spooky and weird experimental ambience made with piano, samples, spoken word, field recs, minimal
scratch and rustle, free drum solo, thoughtful impro electric guitar noodlings, meandering slow burn ambient noise sizzle with domestic sounds
and piano ponderings, evolving and shimmering digital new agey crystal droppings, silent hummings with field recs of distant
bells and distant people. tape comes in a stamped & recycled cardboard box, insert on a nice paper. very, very good tape!
7e + postages

PHANTOM GLADE (BB023)
*weird compilation of electronic/synth onetakes (this prob means improvised?) recorded in Vienna during 2021-2022. its a varied affair of eerie,
oddly darkish and somehow even bit sickly atmospheres. unifying factor between all tracks seems to be that there is a person called Marie Vermont
involved. no idea what it means. interesting comp!
6e + postages

SANDLADAN: alppikatu (B-KOMISSIO)
*great, mellow, crisp, heroic, spaceish, concrety, krauty synthmaze music from helsinki. sounds somehow oddly retro & futuristic
at the same time, maybe an google fueled AI that has been tricked into thinking its living in the 60s might come up with similar end product?
strongest track is sidelong "Brahenkentt which sounds bit like soothing new-age music for robots. weakest "Alppikatu", which is luckily
also the shortest one on the tape. so more is more and less is less in robot sphere. 40min, three track tape. middle A in their name should have
an tiny circle above it.
5e + postages

SICK DAYS: the calm before (VAC-057)
*2022. two 45 minute pieces of slow-burn field recs. experiments + live installation. it starts with a static tunnel hiss and echoed cave droppings, echoed birds, echoed animals and to be continued..
7e + postages

SICK DAYS: other duties as assigned (VAC-063)
*2023. two side long (long!) tracks of assorted and manipulated field-recordings, shifting of objects and electricity. its a wonderful lengthy affair
of muffled hissing and rumbling experimentalism amidst occasional bird and rain. at times it gets real dense and pleasantly static noisy so i
guess you can call it a noise tape if you really want to? there seems to be a quite a lot of rain on tin.
clever ready-made covers which dont seem to make any sense with A) the title and B) the track names. Right!

STUART CHALMERS: the heart of nature (IKASUS-105)
*from intense, nature themed drones to swarmandal plucking to murky fieldrecs.
6e + postages

SUNHIILOW: waking through the dawned shades (IKASUS-114)
*eight lengthy, slightly mystic, somewhat haunting shimmering and wide ambient drone tracks. oddly pleasant and disturbing.

*C22 released in 2013 of: "An archive live-recording from 2006, based on the material from the tunnel bruecke audio/video-instalation accompanied
with a selfbuild string instrument, played with a handdrill. The instrument has been build from found material of the same location as the sound sources:

UMPIO / CREATION THROUGH DESTRUCTION: split (ANTPK.01)
*C40. quite brutal and raw harsh noise. U side with some added metal junk passages and a overall feel of a bit of assembling, side CTD more straightforward take of nothing added. great split!

VALANCE DRAKES: an angel in alliance with falsehood (AMEK038)
*digitally lo-fied, easy-listening glitch beats & lush slightly noisy ambient scapes. at times it borders on sound you could, almost, sell a car to.
6e + postages

VANISHING STANDARDS (AMEK039)
*C86 comp tape of dark experimental techno, decaying ambient, glitch, mild industrial and harsh & not so harsh drones.
some of it really astonishing, some quite mediocre. i guess most of this is from bulgaria? as a whole this tape makes
pretty coherent & very enjoyable listen.
including: randomorb, ate, nocktern, zhe pechorin, phlp., maxim anokhin, ivan shopov, valance drakes, mytrip,
environments, NIANDRAZ, vague voices, crosspolar, late, yuzu, v-st, nicola serra and krl.
6e + postages

VANISHING STANDARDS II (AMEK061)
*as above, second instalment. again, haunting dark techno, ambient, experimental, drone, slow decaying club music. huge sounds and echoes.
diverse and really good. incl: musical statues, petrov/borzeszkowski, NIANDRAZ/ivan shopov, trohi, valance drakes, bodgan simeonov,
vanity productions/rangelova, ivan shentov/angel simitchiev/martin lukanov, kanz, haraqia, evitceles, enternched/krällär, zhe pechorin,
XI-N and leaver. whoa.

WOLF FLUORESCENCE: unwavering, achronymous (JZK021)
*what a total name. if i understood the booklet correctly, parts of this was recorded underneath some bridge in USA? or was it while
riding a bus to somewhere? it was in USA im sure.. oddly growing this tape, monotone drone sort of thing that gets better and better
when repeated.

S O M E V I N Y L S:



AMPH: control LP (mitteilung 38II)
*whine, screech, some slowed down muffled talk & leisurely hitting of metal and a rhythm of an empty LP groove stuck. distant & meandering, glowing
humm and rattle. side B sounds like a extended boat w/ crackle, hiss and blown humming w/ birds. all is calm. on the cover there is a picture of a burning
match & the spot where the flame is has actually been burned a bit for real so its not maybe appropriate to call this mint.

HUMAN ADULT BAND: sonic enlightenment LP (ENO 081)
*A: side long odd, scuzzy, dragging, psychedelic doom garage piece. neon on shirt, leg broken, sitting in a public
laundromat. its ghastly, weird and disjointed yet somehow it feels all right & appropriate.
B: some odd snippets, including atleast: loop of swamp-life, noisy impro free rock, mystic speedy jam, weird almost
collapsing metal, wide & messy guitar duo soloing.

weird jolly caribean self-improvement electro. on B side one improvised rhythmic electronic music piece.

NOLLS: losing game / here before 7" (LOT002)

POST-MATERIALISTS: moist rita & glyptique 7" (PMM101)
*one sided, 33rpm single from russia 2012. two tracks on side A, "moist rita" excelent, quite Residentsesque,
airy and pretty minimal weirdly smoky little affair of a song with very muffled vocals in what i suppose is russia.
"glyptique" shorter instrumental piece with a nice saxophone motif with confused tiny guitar(?) noise. on side B
artwork and letters on red. silk screened covers, 8 page booklet informing you whats what + yellow voyerism
themed postcard of sorts. solid.

POST-MATERIALISTS / GARGAMELEK: my jazz - my vibes 7" (PM-002 / 201666)
*REALLY great split 7" from year 2016. first track on side PM sounds like odd and
perplexingly slow, pounding drums / circus-midi take on jazz of sorts. its quite horrible actually. it states on the covers
for this side: "45 or 33 rpm". so maybe with 45 the track makes more sense? i dont know..
luckily the second PM track, "space smile", is a really wonderful tiny collage of mariachi trumpet, some
underwater singing, loop of something from 50s, an guitar and maybe something else. excelent!
on side G one(?) long track of more traditional free jazz sound with instrumentation of alt sax,
percussion, paintings. and its exceptionally good too! raw sax and tiny busy percussions
somewhere underneath the wailing. really great. if i decipher the covers right the players on this side
are called Gargamelek, Maoist mojo and New York 1975. nice.

SHRINE & MYTRIP: descent 7" (AMEK060 / CRVS022V))
*2022 collab between two bulgarian drone / ambient projects. two tracks of messy, cavernous high octane dark ambient with
slight, weird, almost power electronics undercurrents. it doesnt move at all, just hovers there.

SONORITES DE LA VIE DE BOHEME (EMR-COMP-7" #1)
*odd experimental 7" compilation of four quite abstract & somewhat muddy pieces. from norway 2001 - byart, taming power,
obscure tapestries and empy-ass noise. deep bass, typewriter, clanged stringed instruments, synth, field recs etc
taming power cover version.

VALANCE DRAKES & IVAN SHOPOV: unearthing buried chapters (AMEK024)
*real nice beat-oriented, calm LP of ambient and bit glitchy digital sounds from bulgaria. digital tapestry that you could almost gaze onto forever. its not at all complex or harsh, the sound is rather
poppy and minimal at times. disjointed beats, clicks, pleasant ambient sections and mildly skewed atmospheres
add up to a whole that make very enjoyable and durable listening experience.

V.C.O.B.T.: find new homes 7" (BTV-007)
*two quite chaotic noise tracks and one bit more droning cut, all very much looped. at times sounds like there are maybe a lot of distorted guitars used on this? it gets pretty heavy at points. good stuff!

NEW C O M P A C T D I S C S & C D R S:


BLACK BEVY: 8,300 miles (ARPH-0007)
*hard to pin down and surprisingly diverse, quite ambient record made by a duo. there are wide guitars, synths, drones, howl,
distant clicks, tiny rhythms, silent field-recordings, humm, samples, ghostly vocals, long pitched vocals, etc. etc. all cloaked
mysteriously into a nice & odd feel of pop, a very left-field and experimental pop sure but a pop nonetheless! the song The
wind has gather up the vapour
will most likely be a huge retro banger hit at the post-apocalypse discos of 2098.
maybe a very stripped down FSA record "Mirror" can be seen somewhere in the distance, far, far away? I am not sure, but
atleast one thing is clear: buy less - listen more.

HOWLIN MAGIC: the dreaming (LAL-38)
*instrumental, lo-fi, psychedelic rockin´ freak-out blues and more hard to describe fuzzy and soulful avant racket from 2007.
its probably a solo effort so it has a nice one-sided, linear dimension on it. raw, inspired and much better than you think!

JON COLLIN / NICLAS ANDERSTEDT LINDGREN: dark country (ARPH0008)
*fine, shining balloon shaped and electronically altered guitar scrapings, noodlings and pluckings. overall the whole disc is a
meandering affair of airy atmospherics and thoughtful staring at the window on the wall. at points could also fit as music for ghosts.
12e + postages

MANIACS DREAM: turku hold em (LAL-37)
*two long pieces of very free, abstract and crude 100% in the red noise chaos. there is bass, guitar and drums but most of the time it doesnt matter.
real dense & excellent! from year 2007.

MURMUR: untitled CDR
*neat four track noise CD-R from Canada year 2023. it is not that harsh or fierce or whatever but more subdued, thoughtful, spacey
and calm. slowly collapsing and shifting pieces of obscured audio detritus with a fantastic use of tiny gaps of silence and meandering whine.
CD-R in hand-assembled sturdy cardboard sleeve with three tiny pictures of some.. things. bravo!
