I am extremely pleased and proud to announce the release of the long-awaited collaboration between respected noiseambient composer PBK and C. Reider of Vuzh Music.

-
The release of this album is nearly ten years in the making, as sound sources have been exchanged over this long time between these two artists, finally culminating in a diverse and engaging set of industrial noise and ambient sound works, an incredible document of modern directions in abstract sound.
-
“Discorporate” (entry on Discogs) is now available on in an extremely limited edition of 120 from Impulsy Stetoskopu, (MySpace link which includes sound samples of the new release) an incredible Polish label who has released some outstanding noise from well-respected names in noise-music such as Hands To, Knurl, John Waterman, AMK and many others.
-
I will have copies available very soon for anyone interested to own this rare CD here in the USA… PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT or email if you’re interested and I will contact you when the album is available in the United States!

My personal favorite of the Electret Quintet series so far…
Electret Quintet part three is now free to find its way in this world:

Electret Quintet 3

This project may have stumbled inelegantly into the world, and may still seem unsightly to some…
but it clearly now has a strong idea of what it is.

Onward with the archival releases:
-
I’ve put up an older ambient collaboration of mine as a free download on my netlabel Vuzh Music.
-
“The Druser Pricid” by C. Reider and Tarkatak was originally recorded in 2000.
-
The recording explores some quiet atmospherics with minimal melodic elements, then towards the end it drifts toward a subdued industrial noiseambient before drifting back into the calming atmospheres. It’s dark without being “dark”.
-
It’s one of my favorite releases from my twenty years of recording obscure music.
-
Take a chance on it:

Review snippets:
“If the C. Reider opus isn’t indicative of the perennial American experimental music D.I.Y. [anti-] aesthetic, perhaps nothing out there is.” — e/i magazine
-
“… for those who like their strangeness densely-packed!” — Ambientrance
-
“A highly rewarding and enjoyable listen for those with an ear for the darkly sublime.” — Godsend
-
“Both guys really know how to create a psychedelic atmosphere in sound, with dark soundscapes and hallucinating loops, analogue synths and processed guitar sounds. Like said, the music here is very much related to Troum, but has a particulary strong voice of its own.” — Vital Weekly
-
The release is also freely available on Last.FM:

The second of five releases in the Electret Quintet series is now
available.
-
The concept of this series is to use one old analogue sound machine as the sole source of sounds for each track.
-
This release features three explorations of the Roland TB-303, sandwiched between a TR-606 and a TR-626.
-
The style swings back and forth between very rigid and mechanical
minimal-techno and squirming insectoid electronics.
-
You have three options for listening, you can go to the Electret
Quintet page at Vuzh Music, and choose between downloading song by song at 192 kbps or you can download a zip at 320 kpbs (I recommend this one! More BASS) or you can stream the album at its page on Last.FM
-
Let me know what you think.

The last release for 2008 on the Vuzh Music label is from the Implicit Order, the recording name of the enigmatic artist Anthony Washburn from Kentucky, USA who was active in the cassette underground during the 1990s.

This new release features some of his trademarked zoned-out, looping, atmospheric drones juxtapositioned with the sometimes funny, sometimes creepy musique-concréte audio collages typical of his later work with the group the American Tract Society.
