Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

A twisted and weird mix of free jazz, electronics, ea-improv, and noise - fitting for the name of the project - which was sent to us for review, and quickly found it's way into our weekly Squidco Radio show. The release is based on hours of improvised sessions performed by members of the US based Radon Collective with Portugal's Soopa collective, painstakingly sculpted into individual compostions. One track features The Stooge's Steve Mackay on sax, while Lydia Lunch/The Residents collaborator Kamil Kruta sings on two tracks. Very odd, very interesting, for fans of bands like peeesseye.

	Myers, David Lee Xenography (pulsewidth)
Xenography is the ability to write in a language which the individual has not learned, an apt description of the rich dialects sculpted from feedback sources and expertly routed through circular circuits of sound processors by New York sound artist David Lee Myers, AKA Arcane Device, captured and layered into these astounding electronic compositions.

	White, John Electric Music [2 CDs] (ANTS Records)
English experimental composer and musical performer John White recorded the pieces on this 2 CD retrospective set between 1980 and 1995, a combination of serious, popular and novelty pieces, often exploring areas of contradiction, particularly linear and rhythmic, within an unlikely sound-world in which parameters such as volume, timbre, texture and speed remain fixed.

	Foussat, Jean-Marc / Thomas Lehn Spielgelungen (Fou Records)
The EMS Synthi AKS was introduced in 1972 as a portable analog synthesizer, used in many avant rock & electronic settings; on Spielgelungen both Jean-Marc Foussat and Thomas Lehn perform on the Synthi, their adept skills and experience with the instrument in free improv highlight both their incredible creative drive and the flexibility of the AKS.

	MKM (Muller / Kahn / Moslang) Teplo_Dom (Mikroton Recordings)
Since 1971 the trio of Norbert Moslang on cracked everyday electronics, Jason Kahn on analog synthesizer & radio, and Gunter Muller on ipods & electronics, aka MKM, have convened for free improvisations of rhythmic noise, samples and fractured electronics, here in three concert recordings, two from Russia at DOM Cultural Center and one at Art Space Teplo.
