Transport – Milchreise
April 7, 2017 / AO012
Distributed by Cargo Records Germany

Transport rushes through all sorts of unholy rituals and improvised excesses. A Space Odyssey without rules or certainties, apart from the filthy power of an uproar of etheric synthesizer washes and motoric drum pulses.

LÉONORE BOULANGER – FEIGEN FEIGEN
September 16, 2016 / AO008
Distributed by Cargo Records Germany

She sings in French, German, improvises some unknown languages. The voice searches the lines and colors in an extra-European vegetation. Synesthesia. Impediment. Anomaly. Restart. Primitivism.

BLUTIGER JUPITER – EUROPA

These improvisations are impositions to the hearing habits in the largely calm waters of moden music.
