After The Rain
ôDistance IIIö
from The Night Must Fall
(ATfield/Memoirs Of ?An Aesthete/Bang The Bore)
After The Rain was formed in 2009 in Southampton, UK, by
instrumentalists/composers Hossein Hadisi (Iran), Ignacio Agrimbau
(Argentina) and Joe Kelly (UK). They met at the University of
Southampton, where they studied composition under Michael
Finnissy. Originally emerging as the last mutation of The Hola, an
eclectic ensemble founded by Agrimbau in 2005, After The RainÆs
sound combines elements from electroacoustics, æfreeÆ
improvisation, and DIY aesthetics. More importantly, the group
uses performance practices and creative methods derived from
Persian classical music, which is at the centre of Hadisi and
AgrimbauÆs research projects.

Center Of The Universe featuring Easy
ôAstral adjustmentsö
from Astral Harassment
(Metronomicon Audio)
Inspired by folk music and rhythmic excesses from all over the
world, Center ?Of The Universe made his first recordings ?in 2000.
This solo project by J°rgen Skjulstad combines heavy bass, odd
meters and exotic elements with lo-fi recording methods. He has
been active in the Norwegian underground scene for a long time and
has released a host of albums, mostly on his own label
Metronomicon Audio. Astral Harassment can be downloaded free from
metronomiconaudio.net/astral.zip

ôFly Above Where Leaves Do Notö ?(Wire Tapper edit)
from Chrysalis
(Nexsound)
Andrey Kiritchenko, from the Ukraine, began in 1991 as a singer-
songwriter in a rock group, but has been active in electronic
music since 1996. Kiritchenko combines acoustic and digital
aesthetics, tiny melodies and noise. He has released more than 40
albums under many aliases on Staalplaat, Ad Noiseam, SPEKK, Bip-
Hop, Neo Ouija and more; performed at major festivals through

Wires Under Tension
ôLandscape Architectureö
from replicant
(Western Vinyl)
Wires Under Tension is a duo based in New YorkÆs South Bronx.
Combining homegrown audio sampling instruments with ferocious
beats and adventurous orchestration, WUTÆs angular gymnastics
reflect the raw energy of their home turf. Multi-instrumentalist,
classical composer and software engineer Christopher Tignor
switches dextrously between violin, keyboards, bass and the rest
of his arsenal, while Theo Metz extracts brutal truths from the
kit.
7
David Coulter & Ralph Carney
ôDid You?ö
from Secret Language
(Trestle)
Secret Language is the first collaboration between the UKÆs David
Coulter and the USAÆs Ralph Carney. The pieces were originally
initiated some years ago with Coulter sending Carney a series of
solo meditations as sound files, and asking him to respond. Aside
from Secret Language, Coulter and Carney have played together on a
variety of projects including Plague Songs, Twisted Christmas and
various Hal Willner-related projects. Among the numerous
instruments is the didgeridoo, ?for which Coulter has respectfully
developed his own vocabulary during the 20-plus years he has been
playing it.
8
Manuella Blackburn
ôSwitched onö
from Formes audibles
(empreintes DIGITALes)
Manuella Blackburn is an electroacoustic composer who specialises
in acousmatic music creation. However, she also has composed for
instruments and electronics, laptop ensemble improvisations and
music for dance. Each piece is based on sound materials carefully
selected and delicately processed: from the electric guitar to
electronic switches and traditional musical instruments. In these
bursts of sound remains an emphasis on pitch, uttering a reference
to tonal musical history, keeping the listener drawn into the
narrative.
9
Tudor Acid
ôThe Sound Of Raindropsö (Wire Tapper edit)
from Wrong Side Of Day û Part 08
(Tudor Beats)
Tudor Acid was born near London and studied at Sheffield, and was
greatly inspired by its steel Techno. Settling in Bristol, Tudor
Acid developed music which worked on the dancefloor. Gigs with
Luke Vibert, The Doubtful Guest, Posthuman and Keith Tenniswood
followed. Out of this came Merri Portland (2010), remixes from
Vibert and Tenniswood. With the Wrong Side Of Day EP series, he
has gradually moved towards angular beats, three-dimensional
sounds and greater abstraction.
10
Every Hidden Color
ôIö (excerpt)
from Luz
(Streamline)
Federico Durand and Nicholas Szczepanik work together as the duo
Every Hidden Color. Durand weaves simple melodies together with
field recordings made in the heart of Argentina. He adores books,
autumn, John KeatsÆs poetry, botanical prints and Earl Grey tea.
SzczepanikÆs audio narratives are influenced by contemporary
philosophy and fiction, and address the modern human condition
with maximum emotional impact.
11
Valgeir Sigur≡sson
ôBig Revealö
from Architecture Of Loss
(Bedroom Community)
Previously descibed as ôa dark and writhing battle between two
opposing structuresö, ôBig Revealö is a first glimpse into the
third album by acclaimed Icelandic composer/producer Valgeir
Sigur≡sson, which features composer Nico Muhly, violist Nadia
Sirota and multi-instrumentalist Shahzad Ismaily. Originally
composed for the ballet by Stephen Petronio, Architecture Of Loss
shows Sigur≡sson working from a broad palette of absences: an
album ranging from lyrical, folk-like melodies, spare acoustic
sound and dense digital intervention.
12
Rhodri Davies
ôquestions of __________________________ middle distanceö
from wound response
(alt.vinyl)
The third solo harp release by improvisor and composer Rhodri
Davies û following Trem (2003) and Over Shadows (2007) on the
Confront label û is a weighty departure for Davies. wound response
is an attempt to work with volume, rhythm, distortion and pitches
in an open and fluid way that is open to random occurrence.
13
Last Days
ôIfö
from Satellite
(n5MD)
Edinburgh based Graham Richardson has been recording as Last Days
for six years. His music explores personal themes of stasis and
flux, escape and acceptance. Last Days contrasts the intimacy of
field recordings and elementary instruments with digital
technology. The resulting mixes are often melancholy, but
ultimately hopeful and always tell a story. Satellite, the fourth
Last Days album, is close to completion and due for release next
year.
14
Merzouga
ôFragment #2ö
from Music For Wax-Cylinders
(unreleased)
Merzouga is a spot in the Sahara where Cologne based computer
musician Eva Poepplein and electric bassist Janko Hanushevsky
encountered the roaring silence of camel flies and sand trickling
down the dunes. Since 2002 they have been performing improvised
music and composing for radio, film and theatre. Working with
field recordings from their travels is a central aspect of their
practice, and their award-winning radio works have been
commissioned by German broadcasters. In 2011 their sound
composition Mekong Morning Glory was released on Gruenrekorder.
15
Food Pyramid
ôMarsh Barö
Wire Tapper exclusive
(Moon Glyph)
Food Pyramid is the collaborative project of C Hontona, M Weather,
J Pfeff and C Farstak. The group began writing, performing and
improvising in 2010. They soon discovered unforeseen musical forms
and ideas. They have collaborated with dozens of likeminded
musicians, artists and film makers, and have released six albums
and numerous EPs.
16
Lind Bohm
ôKlang Der Zeitö
from The Legend Of Alice & Anna Maria Cloroformo
(Avachorda)
This work is a series of creations performed live outdoors at
places that have a special meaning for Lind Bohm. Inspired by the
spectacular view across the Alps and blazing lights before
sundown, this track was recorded after a ten-hour climb to the
3000 metre high summit of Mount Hochkoenig in Bavaria.
17
Ghikas & Walshe
ôAl forno yeahö
from Good Teeth
(Migro)
Panos Ghikas and Jennifer Walshe have engaged in unreal-time
surround Improv since 2010. Voice, viola, drums and trumpet
improvisations are recorded, broken down into gestural material
and then projected through the use of software onto an e-drum kit.
The meta-instrument incites a different type of physical
triggering of sounds from the original bodily gestures that
produced them. The resulting performance is the outcome of real-
time and non-real-time processes that blur temporal perception and
offer a new gestural syntax to both the performer and the
audience.
18
jealousy mountain duo
ôleaf kickersö
from jealousy mountain duo no2
(blu noise)
The second self-titled album by J÷rg A Schneider (drums) and Jens
Berger (guitar) is a portmanteau of jealousy mountain duoÆs
disparate 60s jazz and noisy, math-rock influences. They take a
deconstructivist approach, with guitars looping in conflicting
melodies, drums working in and out of rhythms, eschewing any
semblance of straightforward timekeeping for an abstract
counterbalance to the swirl of notes and tones. The result is
tightly controlled chaos, a sonic maelstrom where form doesnÆt
necessarily follow function.
19
Lasse-Marc Riek
ôsleeping bullö
from Helgoland
(Gruenrekorder)
Lasse-Marc Riek is the co-founder of the German label
Gruenrekorder. He uses field recordings, editing, archiving and
presenting them in different contexts. Since 1997, he has
participated internationally in exhibitions, concerts, lectures
and projects, and given performances in galleries, universities,
art museums, churches and museums. He has made contributions to
public and broadcast media and has won awards, scholarships and
artist-in-residence programmes in Europe and Africa.
20
Bersarin Quartett
ôPerlen, Honig Oder Untergangö
from II
(Denovali)
Named after the commander of the Soviet tank forces occupying
Berlin in 1945, Bersarin Quartett aka Thomas Bⁿcker describes his
music as ôimaginary fictional film scoresö. Bⁿcker has also made
club music as Jean-Michel, but here explores his love of emotional
cinematic sound. Bersarin Quartett music is produced by him alone,
although he uses extra musicians when performing live.
