Almond is a singer, musician and composer living in Mexico City. Galen is a singer, actor and writer living in Istanbul. The project includes voice and electronics and, sometimes, instruments. Sometimes we work with words, sometimes without. For our first album, Superstition, Galen wrote fourteen texts around a loose theme of superstition, and recorded them as spoken poems. There are poetical rhythms but no strict, musical rhythms. Almond freely reworked the recordings electronically, and that gave us the album. The name Superstition lifted, so to speak, from Panthéâtre’s Myth & Festival of the same name in 2021.NATALIE BERIDZE (Georgia)https://room40.bandcamp.com/album/in-front-of-youAvailability: On request Territories: Europe + UKNatalie Beridze is a Georgian music composer and songwriter.

On his debut he was forced to use his headphone cans as a makeshift microphone, and used sounds from old analogue equipment and found sounds which were recorded and then looped. His style is often about weed intake or sci-fi based themes. He is known more for his often eclectic collaboration work, having played with the likes of Cardopusher, Kid 606, Handsome Boy Modeling School, DJ Scotch Bonnet, Kouhei Matsunaga, and Spectre. Often quite prolific, but known for brief spells of homelessness, it is not known how much of Sensational’s discography there actually is, as he can often be found selling his music on the streets of New York.ROK ZALOKAR (Slovenia)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXgTLCbpxzMAvailability: 15th-31st March 2023 Territories: Europe + UKRok Zalokar ( pianist, composer & producer) is an integral part of the Ljubljana alt-jazz scene. His artistic journey & vision encompasses many shapes and forms of musical expressions, solo & group explorations and highly personal electronic & acoustic blend. With elements like minimalist layers of shifting patterns, jazz-impressionist harmonies, surrealist sonic image and ouroboros loops, he weaves his musical narrative that strives to free itself from the duality of past & future.

I hope to hear from you soon. All the best. Alain

PAOLO GAIBA RIVA (Italy)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYvuejhRzzsAvailability: 21st-27th November 2022 Territories: France + BelgiumSince 2012 I’ve found necessary to dig deeply into the rawer, more sincere and without compromise parts of what people call « (non)music ». Researching the clash, the dynamic and the static state of the sounds which please me. I don’t want to show or transmit anything in particular, anyone gets his own conclusion (that’s a very interesting part, in my opinion). The aim is to wake up the listeners’ awareness and focus on the moment. Moreover, this is for me a way to cope with this mad world.ALISSON COTTON (UK)https://alisoncotton-uk.bandcamp.com/Availabilities: 7th-9th October 2022 Territory: The Netherlands + BelgiumAlison Cotton is a viola player / vocalist based in London. Her most recent album of 2020, Only Darkness Now, released on Bloxham Tapes and Cardinal Fuzz (UK) and Feeding Tube Records (USA) won critical acclaim, receiving 5 star reviews and reaching number 11 in The Quietus Albums of the Year, number 1 in the Quietus’ New Weird Britain chart, as well as being mentioned in Stewart Lee’s Cultural Year. As well as the viola, she uses an array of other instruments (her voice, harmonium, percussion, recorder, omnichord, shruti box and piano to name a few) to create long, haunting folk drones. Many of her pieces are created for, and named after spaces, whether real or fictional, and usually of another time. As she plays, she focuses on the image of these places and becomes part of the scene. More recently Alison has been commissioned by The Quietus to compose a new piece of long-form music as the first release in their Singularity series.SHIT AND SHINE (USA)https://shitandshine.bandcamp.com/album/phase-corrected-2Availability: Last week of February + first week of March 2023 Territories: Europe + UK« Based in Texas, Craig Clouse makes a lot of music, and he has fun doing it. How else do you explain record titles like Cunts with Roses, Toilet Door Tits, You’re Lucky to Have Friends Like Us and, perhaps best of all, Find Out What Happens When People Start Being Polite For A Fucking Change? For over 10 years, Clouse and the various other musicians who’ve been in and out of Shine and Shine – the group’s press material regularly refers to performing live with 10 drummers at a time – have been gutting post-punk, krautrock, electro and more for parts, combining the grubbiest aspects of all those sounds into something that’s somewhere between Big Black and Big Beat. » – FACTARDHI ENGL [Germany] + KARL SEGLEM [Norway]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-xUGZB4soQAvailability: Autumn 2023 Territories: Europe + UKGerman-Indonesian guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, developer and constructor of his own instrument inventions and sound installations, sound researcher, performer and video artist. Karl Seglem is described as one of the most exciting contemporary tenor saxophonists and composers in Norway.CHRISTIAN VASSEUR (France)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_Uy2QWGKIMAvailability: On request Territories: Europe + UKFor 15 years, he has been teaching musical theater and free improvisation classes to various groups of people: children and adults teen-agers in custody, disabled adults and children. Meeting with highly vulnerable or helpless people has had a deep influence on the way he works today. He has composed many pieces of music for various instruments and bands. The Christian Vasseur’s music borrows as much from classical tradition as from popular music. It is free of any form of dogma with some great musicians as spiritual masters: Robert Fripp, Heitor Villa-Lobos, John Cage, Derek Bailey etc. As a polymorphic musician he every often takes part into interdisciplinary events where music combines itself with other artistic media, such as photography, video, dance and theatre. In theatrical events, his music acts as a counterpoint to the text, creating an extra voice, sometimes melodic, sometimes dissonant or noisy, based on the requirements of the staging. Christian Vasseur has been involved for a long time in the playing of multi-string instruments as eleven string alto guitar, archlute, mohan veena, weissenborn-harpa and electric ten string lapsteel guitar. These instruments allowing him to explore new sound universes.

BOOKING OFFERS

Dear all,


Please find here under some bands and musicians who are available for live concerts/performances.

I am booking some dates for them.

Please tell me if you want to set up a concert/performances for one of them.


MAHADEV COMETO – Ex Young Gods (Switzerland)
https://youtu.be/Q3GX0YWZK6s
Availability: On request
Territories; Europe + UK
And so now, it’s my turn to warn listeners: Taj Mahal Mafia contains material for cyborgs,especially for evolved and future cyborgs… unless we move ahead of ourselves, and reach this new planet (which is, in fact, our own, one hundred years from now), because Cometo is already there, thanks to his incomprehensibly-tuned and chorded vehicle; his arms, eyes, and ears are more numerous, longer, and bigger than ours ; he hears what we will hear in the future, he sees what we will see, he smokes what we will smoke. He has already reached his conclusions concerning the present, and I can subscribe to them. I make Taj Mahal Mafia echo off the walls of my batcave to encourage the neighborhood’s teleworkers, and I paint my walls with a layer of sound waves so that they stay right there vibrating, ready to teleport me to pirate Cometo’s acoustic island



ZEA [The Netherlands) & XAVIER CHARLES [France]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVI5YZ6ffO8
Availability: Early November
Territories; France
Great collab between guitarist Arnold de Boer (Zea/The Ex) and clarinetist Charles, with the whole Zea gang joining him on the other side. The group’s Leadbelly cover is the best version of this tune I’ve heard since Panther Burns tackled it – the arrangement is almost like some unknown avant African disc. And the De Boer/Charles duo stuff is as good and quite similar, although in a slightly sparser way.


WONDERFLU [France]
https://music.wonderflu.com/
Availability: On Saturdays only in 2022 from 19th November.
Territories: Switzerland, Germany, France, Belgium
We make indie rock. Nowadays, it doesn’t seem to mean anything but we still believe it does
It means that with a fuzz you can play Satisfaction but you can also do more than that. That one verse and one chorus is ok But that eleven verses without chorus is also ok That Sonic Youth didn’t die in vain, that the Screaming Trees will go on releasing damn fucking good albums and that Kurt Cobain will reunitesomeday (er, or something like tha


FELDERMELDER [Switzerland] + JULIAN SARTORIUS [Switzerland]
https://feldermelder.bandcamp.com/album/bonn-route
Availability: Many open dates in November 2022
Territory: Benelux
A collection of pieces about the discovery of sounds and sonic universes hidden in objects, places and within yourself.
Building on his practice of site-specific performances and percussive sound walks, Julian Sartorius captured sounds and patterns at eleven locations: the train station and cemetery, on the banks of a stream, on a bicycle path, and in an intimate cavern above the village’s lake, amongst other locales. Sartorius documented the soundscape of the village in field recordings, recorded samples of objects and captured percussive patterns by playing on the architecture and vegetation found on-site.
Feldermelder then processed these recordings into eleven compositions, preserving the locations’ acoustic identities, but expanding on Sartorius’ material. Besides the bassline on ‘Veloweg’, Feldermelder used only sound reactive synthesis and resonators to create additional sounds, layers and tracks, thus multiplying the spectrum and rhythms of the original material. ‘Bonn Route’ is a musical journey rooted in the emittance of sound, and our resonation with the world around us.


SILVIA TAROZZI (Italy) + DEBORAH WALKER
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s–6pRdlZMw
Availability: From December 2022 onwards

Silvia Tarozzi and Deborah Walker share a friendship that evolves into a long-lasting artistic partnership, around improvisation and contemporary experimental creation (Éliane Radigue, Philip Corner, Pascale Criton, Tim Parkinson), with a few forays into Italian new-wave (Offlaga Disco Pax). They are also part of the contemporary French ensemble Dedalus.
