Australian Sound Art / Experimental Music Label
Releases:
James Rushford - Vellus cajid 009CD
Incorporating wildly coloured orchestrations and unusual performance actions, set against intense monochromes of noises and whispers, Vellus is a collection of chamber works that obsessively deals with the privacy of ritual, memory and the self. Diverse takes on instrumental concrète by this young Australian composer.
$25AUD including postage worldwide
Natasha Anderson - Spore cajid 008CD
Spore is a microscopic investigation of the recorder’s anatomy – an
interrogation of instrument and performer that comprehensively revolutionizes the language and potential of both. Anderson’s playing constitutes a fluid symbiosis of the bodily and the mechanical – saliva, wood, plastic, metal and circuitry combine to create third-ear beats, super-fast electroacoustics and canonic abjection unified by whiplash phraseology, moody texture and bizarre articulations. Drawing on influences from visual artists Hannah Wilke and Cindy Sherman, texts by Adrienne Rich as well as works by Lachenmann, Pisati and Parmegiani, Spore is striking evidence that the end of instrumental exploration is never in sight.
$25AUD including postage worldwide
Anthea Caddy & Thembi Soddell - ILAND cajid 007CD
Conjuring the audio ghosts of early Penderecki or late period Jani Christou, whilst tackling the microscopic sonic explorations of Rolf Julius or the lush field recordings of Hildegard Westerkamp, this unique combination of cello and sampler is an intense, exhilarating and unforgettable sonic experience. An uncompromising collision of extended technique, microsonics, studio production and investigative recording, ILAND is a supremely confident release with scant regards to much occurring in music today. $25AUD including postage worldwide
Phillip Pietruschka - Itinerant Labours cajid 006CD
A shambolic collection of traveller’s cheques, post-it notes and ticket stubs... Constitutes a disgruntled middle class thesis on the life and times of avant garde music and popular cinema. Features performances by David Brown, Anthea Caddy, Tim Catlin, Will Guthrie, Adam Yee and others.
$25AUD including postage worldwide
Thembi Soddell - Instance cajid 005CD
Thembi Soddell's second solo release continues her exploration of dynamics, abstracting various sound sources, from field recordings to instrument textures, into sonic interpretations of her dreams.
$25AUD including postage worldwide
Camilla Hannan - More Songs About Factories cajid 004CD
Debut solo release by sound designer, composer, installation artist and performer, Camilla Hannan. It features 5 abstract works derived from location recordings of industrial sites in Melbourne, Australia. Highly processed yet spiritually evocative of the factory sites she represents, More Songs About Factories continues a grand tradtion of industrial music and archives a diminishing production locale. Repetitive rhythms and dynamic conjectures make this a compelling journey into the bowels of the mechanised beast.
$25AUD including postage worldwide
Lawrence English - Transit cajid 003CD
Lawrence English surveys a variety of radically different sonic environments and sets them against a rich array of textured electronics. Pulling together abstracted fragments from these settings, he creates an impressionistic sound portrait of his movement across Australia, Japan and the UK. Featuring audio contributions from: John Chantler, Mike Cooper, DJ Olive, Ben Frost, Cat Hope, Tam Patton, Gail Priest, Heinz Riegler, Robin Rimbaud and Philip Samartzis.
$25AUD including postage worldwide
Bruce Mowson - Static Tones cajid 002CD
An intricate, yet unchanging mass of sound comprised of tiny repeating fragments. Although unchanging, the static tones create an illusion of movement and change, with perceptual distortions generated by the listener.
$25AUD including postage worldwide
Thembi Soddell - Intimacy cajid 001CD
From sound on the threshold of perception to rupturing bursts of noise, these manipulated and sculpted environmental recordings hint at an evocative and emotional narrative. A continuous track in 6 movements: violation, withdrawal, mistrust, discomfort, repulsion, expectation.
$17AUD including postage worldwide
