01
Bader Motor
ôBader Sontagö
From Grautag (Les Disques En Rotin RΘunis/Grautag)
Bader Motor is an occasional group featuring Arnaud Maguet,
Vincent Epplay and Fred Bigot. They first brought their mysterious
and individual attributes together in 2008, releasing a swell of
psychedelic space music and æriviera KrautrockÆ. After their first
album about psychoactive plants (Musique Pour Les Plantes Des
Dieux) on MaguetÆs label Les Disques En Rotin RΘunis, Bader Motor
set the first concrete block in ?the foundations of a new label
with Grautag. ItÆs music for pot plants û yuccas, rubber plants
and fig trees; the kind of plants that grow in waiting rooms
under fluorescent tube suns amid forest-printed wallpaper.
02
Medicine And Duty
ôDeep Sea Heat Hazeö
From Sunken Carnival (Foolproof Projects)
Made up of Matt Colegate, Jack Cooper and Andy Pyne switching
between drums, electronics and voices, Medicine And Duty have
been taking Industrial, No Wave, Krautrock and Techno influences
and throwing out completely improvised bursts of psychedelic free
motion since 2006, with eight releases on Foolproof Projects. The
individual members are also involved in, among others, Teeth Of
The Sea, Black Neck Band Of The Common Loon and Kellar.
03
Rob St John
ôYour Phantom Limbö
From Weald (Song, By Toad)
Lancastrian Rob St John plays drawn-out and ghostly songs
underpinned by the creaks and drones from musical saw, fiddle,
skittering drums, analogue synth, field recordings and harmonium.
Backed by a talented cast of collaborators and co-conspirators, he
has just released his first album Weald on LP through Edinburgh
DIY label Song, By Toad. Kraut, drone and psych influences sit
alongside British folk guitar styles and the echoes of an American
troubadour tradition.
04
kelvox1
ôLoofö
Wire Tapper exclusive (Aagoo)
kelvox1 are a three-piece group from Cambridge, UK who use synths,
sampler, voice, guitar and bass to produce longform, texturally
explorative songs and harness the properties of the recording
environment. Their music is always born of improvisation, and
ôLoofö is typical of the fresh bursts of ideas that lead to more
crafted tracks like those found on Grazed Red, their debut album,
which is out on Aagoo this month.
05
Waves On Canvas
ôFlowers Of The Seaö
From Into The Northsea (Psychonavigation)
Sardinian composer and producer Stefano Guzzetti runs his Waves On
Canvas project to channel his real-life experiences into highly
emotive sound pieces and songs. He recently released ôAngelö, a
single featuring the beautiful voice of Louise Rutkowski (This
Mortal Coil) and a remix by John Fryer. His album Into The
Northsea will be out in July 2012, and includes contributions by
Ian Masters and Pieter Nooten, as well as a series of electronica,
IDM and piano pieces.
06
JLIAT
ôSch÷nberg Sechs Kleine Klavierstⁿcke, Op 19ö
From the forthcoming release 1 Terabyte Of Noise
James Whitehead aka JLIAT describes himself as a ôUK
conceptual/drone/Noise artist, who is seriously posing what might
seem to be unanswerable questions of musicö. Since the 1990s, he
has brought out about 100 releases, beginning with Ambient
droneworks, but his later pieces vary from guitar noise,
conceptual records of silence, war sounds and pure noise. Some
people describe Whitehead as the composer who has taken the
concept of anti-music the furthest. In any case, he seldom makes
use of the full auditory spectrum: you either get absolute
cacophony or silence.
07
Mark Harris
ôAngry Childö (edit)
Wire Tapper exclusive (n5MD)
Originally from a visual arts background, electroacoustic musician
Mark Harris has always had a strong interest in systems and
generative processes in art and music. He has developed custom
software applications which allow him to work with these processes
in live performance. Harris usually works from heavily processed
samples of live instruments and field recordings along with live
synthesis, adding improvisational techniques to generate the work
in real time. Although his work has a strong analytical and
systems based approach, Harris aims to create a sense of space and
place, in order to generate a strong emotional response in the
listener.
08
Teho Teardo
ôDance The Saurisö
Wire Tapper exclusive (Specula)
Teho Teardo is a composer, musician and sound designer interested
in combining electronic and acoustic sounds. He has previously
collaborated with the likes of Blixa Bargeld, Graham Lewis and
Colin Newman (Wire) and Nurse With Wound, as well as creating
soundtracks for directors such as Paolo Sorrentino, Andrea
Molaioli, Daniele Vicari and Oscar winner Gabriele Salvatores. The
recent compilation Music, film. Music includes his prizewinning
incidental music from SorrentinoÆs ll Divo. He is currently
composing for a theatrical adaptation of CΘlineÆs Voyage Au Bout
De La Nuit with actor Elio Germano.
09
Nelson Gastaldi
ôSymphony No 3ö (excerpt)
From Symphony No 3: Siddhartha Gautama O El Poder De La Nada
(Roaratorio)
A self-described ômusical nihilist with noble and mystic originsö,
Argentinian composer Nelson Gastaldi (1932û2009) created homemade
Sibelius-meets-Sun Ra symphonies that went virtually unheard
during his lifetime. Symphony No 3 is the first widely available
publication of his work, courtesy of his estate.
10
Marco Panella
ôSwannanoah Tunnelö
From In The Age Of Batteries (Auger Down)
Marco Panella is an experimental guitarist and songwriter from
Vermont. Dusted magazine called PanellaÆs album Eastern Landscapes
(2010) ôa worthy artifact of the creative mind untetheredö. In The
Age Of Batteries, PanellaÆs most recent album, pulls us further
into PanellaÆs inventive vision of the American reality between
truth and fiction. His guitar work draws from the wells of
American Primitivism, Nashville and some of the guitar innovators
of the last 30 years.
11
To Blacken The Pages
ôBruiseö (edit)
From Bogland (Colony)
Paul McAree is an artist, curator and musician based in Dublin. He
has released several albums to date as To Blacken The Pages,
including a double collaborative album with Korperschwache.
Working increasingly with a more improvised sound, he utilises
just one guitar, often using loops, with all parts recorded æliveÆ
in the studio, lending the pieces a much more experimental spirit.
Bogland will see the juxtaposition of these guitar elements with
electronic improvised sounds created on an iPad with visual based
apps.
12
Tonesucker
ôCosmic Avian Variationö
Created using extracts from the album Omnia Convivia Crastina
(Onoma Research)
Tonesucker work with fundamentalist guitar and electronic drones,
pulses and noises recorded in carefully selected,
psychogeographically researched locations. Their sixth release,

Research.
13
Matteo Uggeri/Luca Mauri/Francesco Giannico
ô5:34am: Calavernaö
From Pagetos (Boring Machines/Grey Sparkle)
The Between The Elements Quadrilogy began in 2007 as a
collaboration between Italian Industrial master Maurizio
Bianchi/MB and experimental musician Matteo Uggeri. The first two
chapters (Nefelodhis, which means Cloud, and Erimos, Desert) were
released in that year by Cold Current and Digitalis Industries.
Kapnos (Smoke) followed in 2009 as a collective effort by Meerkat,

the last and definitive chapter by the trio Uggeri/Mauri/Giannico.
14
Bney Hama
ôKampaiö
From Bney Hama (Anova Music)
Ohad Fishof and Ishai Adar met at the Jerusalem High School for
the Arts in the mid-1980s and founded the groundbreaking Nosei
Hamigbaat (Top Hat Carriers). After its demise in 1992, the two
kept working together, creating sound installations and
collaborating on various dance, performance and video projects.
But with the initiation of Bney Hama in 2007, they reconnected for
a second round of songwriting and performing. Formulated as a
noisier, slightly eccentric take on the synth-pop duo, Bney HamaÆs
music is a sharp, highly orchestrated blend of art-pop and
electronic minimalism, topped with the spirit and energy of post-
punk.
15
Ed Hamilton
ôWaterlogö
From Arabesque (Hibernate)
Ed Hamilton currently lives in London. Having extensively studied
computer sound generation, he became increasingly disenchanted
with his austere experiments and felt the desire to reconnect with
the acoustic instruments that first fuelled his love of music. He
currently uses his collection of Max/MSP patches, coupled with a
variety of acoustic sound sources, to create multi-layered
compositions that blend melody and traditional instrumentation
with shimmering electronic pulses and drones.
16
Neil Campbell & Robert Horton
ôPanharmonicon Particle Radioö
From Trojandropper (Zum)
Neil Campbell is an experimental musician known for his solo work
as Astral Social Club and for being a member of LeedsÆs
Vibracathedral Orchestra, along with his collaborations (with
Matthew Bower, Richard Youngs, Decaer Pinga). Californian Robert

Appliances and later with The Plateau Ensemble. After a lengthy
hiatus, he returned with a flood of collaborations with Tom

Alberto Boccardi
ôYou Told Me That You Were Lyingö

aerospace engineering and music in Milan, and has worked in
audio-visual contexts (anyBetterPlace, Venice Biennale 2011),

soundscapes by working with minimal elements and focusing on the
contrast between sound and silence.
18
Baconhead
ôFly Trapsö
From a forthcoming compilation on Eat Concrete
Carefully balancing pristine sonic austerity against a backdrop of
dementia, Baconhead is the combined work of producers Paul Bowyer
and Ben Hudson. Taking inspiration from sludge rock, B movies and
8-bit video games, the Baconhead sound is a low-slung capsule of
leftfield funk, typified by meticulous production with a heavy
dose of bass and surreal touches.
19
Big Nils
ôWillö
From Bitch Gutsssssss (Abscess)
Big Nils (Coco Moore on vocals, Zoe Wardlaw on guitar, Lilly
Daiber on bass, Sen Morimoto on drums) are a freewheeling, raw

and Boston, released an eight track album entitled Sibling, and
are soon to release a 7" on Abscess. Big Nils enjoy taking trips
in SenÆs Cadillac, making noise in CocoÆs basement and eating
burgers. Essentially, Big Nils are a group of swagged-out young
adults looking for some fun.
20

From Extragalactic Distance (Independent Recordings)
