"Yurikamome" It's a Japanese railroad which runs in the seaside city of Tokyo.
It is unmanned driving, there are not a driver and the conductor in the inside of train, in other words it runs by the automatic control of the computer.
We can see a lot of scenes which can be called "Near-future city" along Yurikamome and I made up my mind to describe the sceneries by sounds, and this album was completed here.
I expressed and interpreted of sceneries along Yurikamome, such as night view from the train window, Tokyo Big Sight, sidewalk which is lighted up by orange streetlights, Rainbow Bridge (it's Japanese famous bridge) and so on.
I'm glad if you take in landscape by my sounds.

Miche's eponymous solo project is mainly dedicated to the creation of ambient, drone and electronica music.
Having first learned the piano at age three, Miche's influences are rooted in classical music and video game soundtracks as well as healing music, a Japan-based new age genre that continued to have a lasting impression on him since his first encounter with it at eleven years old.
Miche first became interested in making tracks using computers while recording a demo CD as a member of a rock band, later going on to start activities under his current name in 2011.
In December of the same year, Miche participated in Gallery Six's "ArtLism.JP" free download compilation album.
In August 2012, Miche released his first EP, "Summer Vacation of a Fancy," on On Sunday Recordings (JP), with Chihei Hatakeyama appearing as mastering engineer and Fugenn & The White Elephants as a remixer. Miche himself has also participated as a remixer on vocaloid producer 3396's first album, "Rain and Wolf."
In November 2012, Miche's launched his second EP, "Blue Hall," on Sasakino Records (JP), with Fraqsea appearing as a guest vocalist.
Miche has also established the creation team "Flowery," which has since released two compilation albums, "Lectrade" (December, 2011) and "Silent Night Report" (August, 2012).
Miche's works are created through a combination of piano, guitar and bass guitar playing, field recordings, computer programming and other elements. His music pursues themes such as expression and interpretations of daily sceneries and imaginary landscapes, as well as memories and personal recollections of his childhood.

Halster, a Swedish freely improvising guitar trio operating from Malmö, state their case like this: "Guitar as object. Guitar as subject. Guitar as percussion. Guitar as quotation. Guitar as microphone. Guitar as string-theory. Guitar as a tool. Guitar as a fool. Guitar as guitar. " They hold weekly open Monday sessions in their rehearsal hall made of an old military bunker, and this time the guests were Vassily K., a guitarist from Moscow, and Herman Müntzing, a renown experimental sound artist from Baskemölla, with his electronics and amlified objects. The visual and verbal ideas are taken gratefully from the research of Alan C.M. Cheung and Patrick Cramer at Gene Center and Department of Biochemistry, Center for Integrated Protein Science, Munich.

This is the secondary album of Perry Ferya Band. The first one – ‘Back Out’, containing recordings from 2010, has been published in Recycling Records.

Recording ‘Live on Venus’ the musicians were trying to move a tradition and joy of common playing - so characteristic of ethnic and folk sounds - to the field of experimental and improvised music. It is also reference to and continuation of psychedelic tradition of music of the ‘60s and ‘70s.

The musicians of Perry Ferya Band have similarly participated in many other projects which has widely been mentioned in description of the last Skala Collective’s album - ‘Black Constellation’, published in Clinical Archives (ca477). Their previous projects have been published in such netlabels as Chill Label, Recycling Records, Lego Ego, 49 Manekinów.

Boris Gagloev was born in 1969 in the Russian town of Vologda, he graduated from Archangelsk Conservatory in the field of jazz guitar (1993) and also he was graduate of St. Petersburg Academy of Theatre, Music, and Cinematography in the field of composition and sound creation participating in experimental course of Vyacheslav Guyvoronsky (master´s degree in 2004). In the 90s, he came across international gathering Un de Lion for instance, in 1997 he moved to Prague, where he taught at Instrumental Theatre Music College and performed concerts with various bands in the genres of avant-garde improvisation, jazz and latino-american music (Kaljan Jazz, BG Ensemble, Noise Of Time, Atarés) and last but not least, he composed scenic music.
At the end of 2004, Gagloev set up project of Noise Pictures with intention to give a boost to loose association of musicians - rather than closed band - with interest in improvised and experimental music, so that various musicians from different genres having lust for diverse approach to music making could meet; while some of them took part in no more than one action, the others cooperated much longer. Boris himself described the project as “musical yoga or sound magic by the means of live communication of musicians and audience in real time”. This group gave varied performances, they also produced many recorded material in rehearsal rooms and studios and its activity continued to flourish until January 2008, when Boris passed away.
Not until this year, there has been found most probably the only extant CD-R from 2005, containing mastered studio recordings of the core group of Noise Pictures (trio Gagloev – Petržela – Faix). You can find this recording on the first CD and as a “bonus”, collection of recordings from rehearsals and home studio has been attached; Gagloev put together this collection as promo material named Noise Pictures Extracts.
Boris Gagloev could have been considered as rather controversial eccentric by many for his often very radical opinions and quite self-destructive lifestyle; however, as an artist he will hardly ever be forgotten by anyone who had chance to meet him. All those people would definitely confirm that he should be remembered, and therefore we made possible for public to share this album too.

20th of April… the night before I was travelling to Berlin, there was a terrible storm here in Madrid… It had a lot of strength, and it moved me so much that I decided to set some ambient mics pointing to the storm and another two mics recording the piano, and started playing. I left my mind wander through the piano notes for three quarters of an hour and, when I finished, I got up, closed the lid of the piano, pressed the STOP button, and started to prepare my luggage. When I came back from Berlin, I played the recording again, and was so impressed by what I heard that I decided to share it. The result is “20 de Abril” (April the 20th), the most minimalist album of Bosques de mi Mente to date.

Five years ago I started releasing sound on various net labels. After the publication of my first book Porched Hopes I came to an artistic impasse. At that time time I was in the company of Christopher McFall. He handed me a laptop housed with odd programs and an old pencil microphone. He told me there is no wrong way to make experimental music. Without any further assistance I began work on what some of you know as "To touch the Taste of Sound". I openly admit I had no idea what I was doing and I still do not pretend to be any sort of talented or otherwise wise musician. I can say that in many ways I grew up in front of the audience of my sound. In the years past I have found great sanctuary in my work. The words I sing, the sounds I skew are my only known comfort in my life.

I have been at best lucky with the most gracious reception I have received from my listeners which span the globe and without then I would lack purpose, direction and continuance. This release is professionally remastered tracks from various past releases. This release is a gift to my listeners, supporters and friends. I choose to include the tracks on this album because they are the ones that people have reached out to me from across the globe as a sort of conversation starter. These songs are the seeds of many blossoming friendships in my life. I included a track that has not been in any prior release that was composed early in my sound journey.

I must take the time now to thanks a few specific individuals who are vital in my creative process. First and foremost my listeners, especially those who have contacted me personally. I am constantly humbled by your intelligence, perception and general awesomeness. Secondly I must thank the community of sound artists that have been a constant source of conversation, inspiration and wisdom namely, Christopher McFall, Alex, Juan Jose Calarco, Mons Jacet, Nanako Noise, Sietse Van Erve, Zac Keiller, Alozeau, Jos Smolders, Will Thomas Long, Larry Johnson, Scott Taylor, Theirry Massard, and Larry Johnson. In closing I must thank the people who simply love Holly. The people I know personally that graciously tolerate my ever changing location, and life mission namely, Nairba Sirrah, Sharai Bohanon, Anna Frey, Sam Kirk, Artie Scholes, Edward Lynn, Scotty Rex, Dennis Cook Jr, Rex Hunt, Keith Buchanan, Jason Beason, Mark Tabor Paschal, Rico, Dejoie, Rhy Carter-Trotter, and her husband Jimmi Trotter whose collection of odd music and knowledge is awesome and endless.

Kansas City, Missouri has always been a source of inspiration for my work. I can promise anyone who wants to listen that I will continue releasing as long as I am physically able and that as I grow I will sing and skew the seeds planted by each and everyone of you. My inspiration has always been the odd ones in this life and because of that I am confident that I will remain out side any notable sense when it comes to music. I hope to remain inside your ears. Thank you. H Stewart.

the SIN trio members met each other on the Stefano Ferrian's "Impro Connection Tour I". The recording was done at the Gothenburg Academy Of Music by Finn Loxbo during an 8 hours long session.
The first leg of the recording session was done by stefano ferrian, finn loxbo and vegard lauvdal giving birth to this recording. The second leg of the session was in 4tet with Froydis Dalho on noize/electronics.
So...there's still a lot of material unreleased that belongs to that fortunate session that will be released in the future as the second effort of this project.

A blending of Electronica and Rock, the album is a collection of works from the past few months. Lots of ambient synths and guitars, big drums with rock bass lines, and with catchy vocals and accessible lyrics ranging from alien abduction to unrequited love.

Arcade Island started in 2006 in Pennsylvania out of curiosity by Alex Bew, a 21-year-old self-proclaimed nerd with "too much time on his hands". "I don't like making music in just one genre, and I don't like people telling me what to do, so I'll make whatever kind of music I want. Not even Abraham Lincoln can stop me. Although he could probably do a good job of it with his vampire skills and all."

Tembryo is the three-membered band from Prague. The band is playing improvised music in which is putting together traditional and untraditional approaches to classical instruments as well as to other objects which are able to generate sound.
Tembryo has decided after the debut album to present the new EP with more raw and authentic material recorded live in concert.
The leader of the band – Jan Faix (he also performs as Count Portmon) – uses the noise structures from tape players without the tapes. This part of Tembryo's music is connected together with distorted sound of Filip Černý's guitar and freejazz inspirations of saxophonist Jan Kyncl.
EP Tremblaya documents jettisoning principles of non-idiomatic improvisation and the actually growing psychedelic direction in Tembryo's music.

Jan Faix: no-input cassette players
Filip Černý: guitar
Jan Kyncl: tenor saxophone
