"AMT is Slavek Kwi, a Czech sound artist living in Belgium. His first record on Audioview/Lowlands was acclaimed by many people. 'A very interesting work, rich in sound elements, soundscapes, images...a reform of musique concrete.' -- Jerome Noetinger. After a long silence with only some compilation tracks, here at last is his second record. Very rich compositions, sometimes closer to the first release, but this CD offers a larger 'sounds palette'."

Artist:	TOEPLITZ, KASPER T.
Title:	Fissure
Label:	SONORIS (FRANCE)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	SONO 01

First releases on a new French experimental label, each packaged rather elegantly in fold out digipaks. "The first solo CD of Kasper T. Toeplitz which illustrates the first side of his work. It gathers together three pieces that actually, create one work. The first track, 'In Den Gängen' is an electroacoustic music, linear, progressive, made of oscillations and vibrations, that may remind of some works by Jim O'Rourke, Hafler Trio and some Swedish artists such as Phauss/C.M. Von Hausswolf and Zbiegniew Karkowsky (who has also worked with Toeplitz). This first piece introduces 'Steinshlag,' a work for soprano solo similar by some aspects to L. Berio and L. Nono. 'Steinschlag' is performed by Isabel Soccoja, a young singer who already interpreted Berio, Cage, Scelsi and Nono. 'Vague de Pas' is the conclusion of the CD. It's a slow rise made of one soundwave that introduces percussion's (Didier Casalmijana: Tam solo) to create music close to Scelsi. A very good introduction into the unusual universe of this promising musician."

Artist:	DIMUZIO/DAN BURKE, TOM
Title:	Hz
Label:	SONORIS (FRANCE)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	SONO 11

"Dan Burke is the leader of Illusion of Safety, the 'group' that succeeded perfectly the marriage between industrial and electroacoustic musics. Thomas Dimuzio has created since his first releases an unusual music made of electronics and electroacoustics with many energies. Bot have already released many records separately. Hz is made of extracts of live collaboration during performances in SF bay area in 1998. They use sampler and electronics with . A very good example of improvised live electronics that won't disappoint lovers of these two brilliant musicians."

Artist:	DUIMELINKS/ROEL MEELKOP/RALF WEHOWSKY, PETER
Title:	Verklärte Tage
Label:	SONORIS (FRANCE)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	SONO 12

"Duimelinks and Meelkop are two members of THU 20. Wehowsky (RLW) is the former leader of P16.D4 and still carves out a brilliant career nowadays as a composer and member of the label Selektion. This CD gathers 6 tracks of mail collaboration, where each member uses another member's materials as source or remix tracks. The result is an interesting example of abstract electroacoustic that's less minimal than expected."

Artist:	ALATI/GIUSEPPE IELASI/RUGERRO RADAELE, CHRISTIAN
Title:
Label:	SONORIS (FRANCE)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	SONO 14

"This new project from Giuseppe Ielasi (from the Italian label Fringes) gathers two guitarists and one percussionist. The two prepared guitars are used as a sound generator for electronic devices with, and on top of subtle and (mostly) metallic percussions. From quiet and minimal ambience to stronger and more electric pieces, this record is a very good example of this new school of improvised music influenced by electroacoustic techniques."

Artist:	BERTHET, PIERRE
Title:	Un Cadre De Piano Prolongé
Label:	SONORIS (FRANCE)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	SONO 41

"'Hanging above the audience, metal cans are linked to some strings of a piano frame by long steel wires (3 to 5 m.). Strings are excited by percussion, friction, magnetic fields and electric motors.' First solo record from this musician/instrument builder from Liege, Belgium (after a collaboration CD of strange songs with Frederic le Junter and one long track on a Sub Rosa compilation), also collaborator of Arnold Dreyblatt for performances. You'll find the first part in a Dreyblatt style, a center part of layered and droning sounds (but without any effects) and a strong finale. Another very good step in the minimal exploration of one musical instrument."
