Can't/Heather Leigh/Carly Ptak/Zaïmph - untitled - 2x8" lathecut set Jessica Rylan (aka Can't) provides a 'cover version' of part of Junko's 'Sleeping Beauty' with heavily processed voice and homemade modular synthesizer. Double Leopards' Marcia Bassett pushes the tolerances of the lathe-cut to breaking point with the intensely distorted vocal loops of 'Winter Lips'. Carly Ptak offers perhaps the most unexpected contribution with the documentation of a talk she gave during a workshop dedicated to creative realisation. Heather Leigh assaults a massively reverberant drum set, all the while wailing like some supernatural creature of Scottish legend. Stunning cover art by Karen Constance. PLEASE ENQUIRE.

Kylie Minoise - Mondo Luxurious Thrill Fest - CD-R, £5/$10 postpaid Using just microphone, amplifier and a bunch of FX pedals, this one-man health and safety violation (real name, Lea Cummings) performs guerrilla rituals of blistering white noise, feedback and old-school self-abuse. Edition of 50.
Villa Valley - Bedienungsanleitung - CD-R, £5/$10 postpaid Semi-archival release from Royal Oak, Michigan stunt duo.

hi and sorry for my little autopromotion :) best f OUT NOW !!!(NOVEMBER 2008) :::::::::::::::...............::::::::::::::::...........:::::::::::::::.......... '4 Sonatas for Electroacoustic Thoughts' Francesco Giannico and Stefano Spataro A HYSM PRODUCTION :::::::::::::::...............::::::::::::::::...........:::::::::::::::.......... Music by Francesco Giannico and Stefano Spataro HYSM PRODUCTIONS http://www. myspace. com/haveyousaidmidi
4 Sonatas for electroacoustic thoughts is a microcosmos of modified sounds, folk-derived loops, noise nebulas in which it is not easy to see the light. The soundscapes are rough and elusive, but well-balanced, and never excessive. The work (4 tunes for a total length of about 20 minutes) comes from a collaboration between Francesco Giannico(www. myspace. com/markhamn) and Stefano Spataro(www. myspace. com/solquestprojects). In a pragmatic sense, the album is a mix of field recordings of an audio/video installation about Taranto's Ilva (made by Francesco Giannico) and electronic oscillations/acoustic hints (by Stefano Spataro). Nonmaterial sounds, layered over and over, folk memories and Interstellar Space strikes clash with discordant string lines and melodic scraps of an unspecified nature... A calm promenade in the unease of sound.
