Snacks/Laura Altman
& Monika Brooks “Surface Noise Vol. 8” CDR - Snacks are an
anything-but-bite-sized Melbourne trio of Jennifer Callaway (synth, vocals,
objects), Dale Gorfinkel (vibraphone, percussion) and Allanah Stewart
(percussion, objects), who create hazy feasts of nutritious sound. This is a
recording of their very first performance in May 2017 at the Yarra Hotel in
Melbourne. Laura Altman (clarinet) and Monika Brooks (accordion) are
Sydney-based artists who have performed together in many contexts, including
making up two thirds of Great Waitress. This recording is of a live performance
in a tunnel at Central Station, Sydney, in October 2013.

New mailorder items:
Arek Gulbenkoglu – “A
Gift Like A Hollow Vessel” LP - Following on from 2017’s “Three Days
Afterward”, Gulbenkoglu’s new album sees a sharper scalpel at play resulting in
a more nuanced release which unfolds a curious journey of suburban psychedelia.
Material sourced from voice and body sounds, recording of non-musical
processes, actions and events, breath, tapes of animal sounds slowed and sped
up, processed field recordings, electronics, percussion, tape delay, sample of
old folkways records and Esperanto text to voice translations. “A Gift Like A
Hollow Vessel” is striking and intimate musique concrete. A work of confounding
beauty as created by one of the most unique voices operating in orbit of
psychedelic music as it appears today. Limited edition of 250.
Arek Gulbenkoglu –
“Three Days Afterwards” LP - From the almost voyeuristic locations
recordings which open the side to the shearing bleeps which close it, we’re
spun between intensely purified microtonal oscillations and spare, pointillist
percussions according an underlying logic which evades easy categorisation.
Impenetrably encrypted electronic abstraction. Limited edition of 300.
Arek Gulbenkoglu
“End-music” CD - A series of insular sonic imprints via use of tape
detritus, voice and abused electronics. “End-music” continues Gulbenkoglu’s
fascination with sound at its most elemental level and comprises three
sculptural pieces in which textures are examined from different angles, and
threads are pulled bare. This is a transparent and tactile music that
accumulates, shifts and contorts. Comes in colour digipak, limited edition of
77.
Club Sound Witches
"(alien_pop_muzak)" cassette - Burbling, gurgling aquatic echoes
of underwater alien lower case dance parties. Highly irregular.
