"There are so many gradations
of this spectrum of connections and interactions,
Independences and interdependences
Between composition, improvisation, composers and musicians
That seem yet to be explored."

   Experimental/Electronic

Directives : Protenomaly [CASSETTE w/ DOWNLOAD]
(Aubjects)

Aubjects label leader D. Petri (Amalgamated, Dog Hallucination) continues his work in unusual and sometimes aggressive exploration of the guitar as a sound source, looking for "novel anomalies" in amorphous compositions, seeking an extreme mixture of audio fidelities, peculiar equipment configurations, personally significant field recordings & various multi-level manipulations, in parts joined by Hillary Ulman on percussion.

Gross, Jean-Philippe / Golden Oriole: Optical Cadillac / Golden Oriole [VINYL 10-inch]
(BeCoq)

A split 10" vinyl album of two very different works: first French sound artist Jean-Philippe Gross in a sonic assault of garish rhythmic electronic persistence and noise; then the Golden Oriole instrumental rock duo of Kristoffer Riis on guitar and Thore Warland on drums in a compelling work of grooving structure with diverse percussive interaction.

(BeCoq)

Unusual approaches to rock song and instrumentals from this French duo of Apolline Schöser & Nocola Henry with assistance from Valentine Noiret, Daniel Dariel on Japanese composition & vocals, Louis Claus on Indian flute and poetry from Marie-Laure Gucciardi; peculiar and compelling, somehow reminiscent of Etron Fou...

Teube : Teube [CASSETTE]
(BeCoq)

Strange environments of sound from the French trio of Simon Le Vigouroux on double bass, Cyril Noël on electronics and Thomas Coquelet on electronics, in two morphing works connected by name through each side of the cassette, expeditions guided by murky rythmic elements and mutated field recordings, surrounded by rich and darkly tinged sonic elements.
