Wozzeck was born on the 11th of September 2007 during the first studio session which became the album actually. The trio exceeds the limits of experimental music using some elements of free improv, free jazz, noise, ambient, psychedelia and even metal. They try not to lose composition ideas nevertheless. Being followers of John Zorn's Painkiller, Zu & Diskaholics Anonymous Trio the musicians create their unique musical world where everyone can find a bit of themselves.

The russian band Wozzeck is a duo consisting of Ilia Belorukov (on sax, electronics) and Mikhail Ershov (bass-guitar). They play experimental music with influences from noise, electroacoustic and improvised music. They released one album named Act I (in trio with drummer Pavel Mikheev), an EP with the famous russian musician Alexei Borisov and tracks on different compilations.
Act II is the first album recorded as a duo. More than 1,5 years were spent perfecting the final result. This is the concert record on 2009, July 7th at legendary Saint-Petersburg place - Experimental Sound Gallery-21.

Spanish duo Hinyouki (Cristina Bosco and Crypt Vihara) tackle Robert Heinlein's Starship Troopers and the result is a harsh assault of noise and glitches, probably made out of agonizing Arachnids!

Composers from around the world show their own sound interpretations of Lao Tse's tao te ching. Tao project results have been compiled in this new release of tecnonucleo.

Simply put, Tao is a concept of the fundamental nature of the world, a world that is constantly fluid, continuing and changing rather than the static definition of a never changing reality. The Tao Te Ching by Lao-Tzu is the best literary depiction of the concept and remains one of the most significant spiritual works of all times. The tecnoNucleo net label has put together a 28 track and almost 3 hours long collection of musical interpretions of this seminal work. The tracks include a wide range of experimental electronic artists who uses various means including field recordings, sampling, electronic drones and more to complete their interpretations. Like the concept itself, there is no absolute and finite meaning to these works. The meaning is in the sound, creating an intuitive feeling and holistic environment rather than any intellectual definition. And in this way this anthology succeeds. This is a album that is meant to be felt rather than understood and in that sense, it becomes a highly spiritual experience.
