ichtyor tides
antapices qadrant c50

"whilst sailing along the rusty shores of elytrion, then wandering through the escherian-scapes of eever, we overlooked its arising. now balantly outstretched from every angle of the sky, we cannot elude its relentless gaze anymore. the realm of the antapices qadrant is upon us."

mysterious, sinister, sounds definitely not from this world. get your seasonly vacation from this planet and put on this tape, lay back and close your eyes.

christophe bailleau
porcelaine c36

remember last time you've sit with your banana-beer cocktail in hand at your pool with its orange water? dippin' your right toe into the fluid you wonder who the hell put those demons right beside your chair. they don't stop making silly faces. but you don't care, because the sun shines with light blue colored beams. an airplane crosss your sight on the bright green sky, you touch it with your finger tip, eyes wide open. suddenly the music stops. one of the demons turns the tape, you breath out slowly out of relief.

psychedelic and colorful music with an weird edge for your everyday escapism.

strom noir
the white colour of the clouds c46

very first intention was to come up with the tape release consisting of tracks made by using solely guitar resonances. so few tracks are based, almost purely, on the sound fragments which were recorded in a way that i started to record couple of seconds, even minutes, after the last tone was played. on the other hand, there are “more regular” tracks which are based on a simple melody, repeated during the entire track. i have always had some kind of fondness for such tracks, there is some kind of thrill which puts listener into an expectation of the change which, at the end, does not come. finally i've recorded tracks that represent some kind of conjunction of what one can hear on the album, abstract fragments as well as melodic parts. as the result, the white colour of the clouds represents probably the most conceptualized release I have ever made.

masterfully crafted reverberating guitar drones that keeps no soul untouched. everybody needs some drone pillow from time to time, don't you?

an elm
fly pan elm c38

"fly pan elm" is a reaction to the positive feedback on it's predecessor, "a nightmare, an elm street", which was originally planned to be a one-off. yet "fly pan elm" picks a retro-charme inflated picture, and colours it with it's own paint of synthesizer melodies. memories of the peak of trans atlantic flights are nestled in sounds of subtle irony. put your seat back in a horizontal position.

uplifting synthesizers workouts for your sofa surfings. draw your ticket and buy this tape!

guenter schlienz 
book of dreams 
12"

"book of dreams" was inspired by notes about dreams i wrote down shortly after i woke up from my sleep. in those strange moments between phantasy and reality, when you can still remember the images and feelings of the dream before they are rubbed off by daytime thoughts and troubles. the compositions which can be heard on this album trying to recapture those images and feelings, mixed with a second thought, kind of a sober interpretation of the sometimes wild and furious adventures with somnia.

 modular synth stuff for inner explorations.

trikorder 23 
blumster 
12" 

niko the charming geek, alone with friends, locked in a space with trees and a table, which is covered for all. everything stops around you and it takes a while until you realize that it only runs much slower.
he simply took this old, detuned guitar in the night and played.

so, naturally the guitar fell in love with him and they became good friends.

and whenever niko left the studio to visit his beautiful wife and his lovely daughter at the city,

the guitar started to cry. 

the more you turn the record,

the clearer are the little voices of the sad guitar in empty space. 

so, sit down! (cristof wlemang)

 charming and poetic tracks to bewitch you and your family. 
celebrate life and spin this record.

e jugend
history works
12"

this album has been on a hold literally for ages and for diverse reasons. "history works" earmarks the final installment in e jugend’s work trilogy that led to previously released albums "formate heaven syntax hell" (saucerlike recordings, 2001) and "last exit wedding" (taping desk o-phon mania, 2007). as stubborn as ever yet presenting a kaleidoscopic take on aesthetics and texture, "history works" depicts no. 5’s and no. 9’s somnambulistic ability to forge equally dense and minimalistic tapestries of sound. again, the approach seems driven by intuition as much as by the endless search for the most interesting sound, resulting in a different cornucopia of righteous melodies. over the years the first-take approach along with the improv-method lead e jugend into the true heart of compositional darkness, fitting perfectly to the specific setting of these recordings.

 original and witty kraut excursions done by sophisticated masters of this genre.
