"Tu m' was established in 1998, in Città Sant' Angelo (Pescara, ITALY). Basically it is a trio dedicated at electroacoustic, electronic, plunderphonic, minimalism, jazz, glitch, and pop. Since 2001 the group has released for the Cut, Aesova, Grain of Sound, BOXmedia and Apestaartje. The name -- Tu m' -- comes from a painting of M.Duchamp."

"The new album by Gareth Mitchell (a.k.a. Philosopher's Stone). Sections 1-6 is a more extreme album than its predecessors for Kranky, Preparation and Apparatus. Extreme in that it is louder, quieter, more angular, more contrasting, fuller or emptier, track for track, than those releases. There is also a greater emphasis here on the structure of the record as a whole: the individually shaped tracks are placed deliberately within the whole with a view to creating a certain shape, symmetry and poise. There is no one determining mood. There is an attempt to make use of wide frequency and dynamic range: the record asks the listener to treat sound of searing volume with the same degree of importance as sound barely audible; cavernous, deep bass tones interchange with shrill, high pitches. The observance of space is also a feature. Great care and attention is placed on the precise locating of sound within the stereo field."

"Ios Smolders has been composing music since the early 80s (under his moniker IOSS) and was one of the original members of THU20, a Dutch electro-acoustic ensemble (which also features Roel Meelkop and Peter Duimelinks, both of Kapotte Muziek and Goem). In the early nineties he released two, now well sought after LP's, one for Korm Plastics and one for Quiet Artworks. His two CD releases for Staalplaat are interactive works and are still available. They are less a finished work, but a work in progress for which the active input of the listener is required. Music for Kalx.com is his latest work and has five pieces from pure sine waves. The CD has a really nice flow in the pieces and can easily meet the best composed works of Ios Smolders, which some think to be the second LP. It has the Ios trademark all over it, despite the fact that he limits himself to just pure sine waves."

"Following the previous release on ERS records by Sigtryggur Berg Sigmarsson, ERS now releases a new work by another member of Stilluppsteypa, Heimir Björgúlfsson. Björgúlfsson has had various solo releases on Ritornell, Staalplaat and Fire.Inc and now works his way on this LP, for which he makes extensive use of his archive of loops and environmental recordings. The B-side is filled with 17 lock grooves. This LP, in the usual generic ERS cover, will be released in an edition of 200 copies."
