1/f Noise – While teaching sound art in Cincinnati Ohio's art school DAAP, Montgomery organized sonic tours of the Ceramics Department. The audience was blindfolded and led one by one down 8 flights of stairs into a series of listening stations where ventilators, burning kilns and other machinery were in use (2008).

Smoothing Out The Press was composed using the Sound of Sanding from the Crest Hardware Show plus recordings made at Ben Owen's Middle Press in Brooklyn while printing the Ministry of Lamination’s Almost Blank Notebook letterpress edition (2007).

Very happy to present our 20th release from Julia LaDense, entitled Trip. I first discovered Julia’s work through my good buddy Tyler at Electric Tapes, he released I Vote Everyday a few months back and I highly recommend it. From there I discovered a handful of other Julia releases and you can keep up with them through her via her website.

It is not just the stark minimalism that first put attention on her music, it is also the bold attitude presented behind it, that makes it clear she makes music for the pure enjoyment of it. Much like our last release from Leonardo Martins, this is a fine example of music without pretense.

In this spirit, the Mp3 compilation On How A Picture Can Sound was released in 2003, including twelve tracks, each of which were inspired by (the inner beauty of) a work of art.

Live set recorded for the netlabel alg-a at Alg-a Lab, on December 9 2009.

Sinking to carpets, traveling the spoon, we’re so in to IT!

Composed improvisation, in three acts, around the magnificence of the Man, its origins and its exponential perception.

KHEOSTATIC is an improvised play with a total duration of about three hours trying in an encyclopaedic way to make a sound transcription of several elements which constitute the human reality, in its language, intellectuality and action. In the first part, now published, the human perception was condensed in sound signs of the avant-garde, concrete and electroacoustic, through the recourse to an immediate and proto-metaphysical language, in narrow correlation with the possible conceptuality of the matter and its relations with the spirit. The three KHEOSTATIC‘s parts will be live recorded at La Société de Curiosités, Paris.

Ever since I came in touch with the music of Joe Frawley I was instantly sold. That first I heard was Ritual Research on Clinical Archives which was like a potpouri of fushioned styles though an elevated level of musicianship sounded throughout the entire album. Since that time I’ve always tried to keep up to date with his works, but timemanagement is not an easy task. And then there was Angel Boxes; Joe himself wasn’t too certain how listeners would respond to this what I would call modern classical opera. But when my ears heard this again I fell in love. Rachel Rambach is the vocal in here that perhaps not shatter the glass but her singing sooths and the work Joe adds to this brings out a new definition of opera-singing.

It's been a long time since I asked Watzatnoiz & Kecap Tuyul to record albums for Eg0cide. Last summer they both send me a chaotic batch of raw live tracks (bursts of sapsmodic noise & gritty spacey ambient from Watzatnoiz on VST synth (the Synth1 created by Ichiro Toda), minimalist psychedelic improvisations and lo-fi underwater drones by Kecap Tuyul on prepared guitar (with sometimes ebow and looper)) , and although I enjoyed their sounds a lot, it was difficult for me to consider these submissions as finished albums. So these albums projects were somehow forgotten...
But a few weeks ago, after listening again to these tracks from both guys in a row, I found that a split album could be a cool idea. Or even a mix of these tracks...That's what finally happened : after many attemps of building a playlist, "Ignid Kod N" is served as a single track, since I wanted to avoid silences between tracks that have been crossfaded to create a weird odissey into the hasrh side of anarcho-ambient, full of spacey free-noise, dirty drones, naive psychedelia and dark buzzes - take it or leave it!
