	Track Listing: 01 Bader Motor "Bader Sontag" From Grautag (Les Disques En Rotin Réunis/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 'riviera Krautrock'. After their first album about psychoactive plants (Musique Pour  Les Plantes Des Dieux) on Maguet's  label Les Disques En Rotin Réunis, Bader Motor set the first concrete block in  the foundations of a new label with Grautag. It's music for pot plants -  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 "Deep Sea Heat Haze" 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 "Your Phantom Limb" 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 "Loof" 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 "Loof" 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 "Flowers Of The Sea" 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 "Angel", 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 "Schönberg Sechs Kleine Klavierstücke, Op 19" From the forthcoming release 1 Terabyte Of Noise James Whitehead aka JLIAT describes himself as a "UK conceptual/drone/Noise artist, who is seriously posing what might seem to be unanswerable questions of music". 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 "Angry Child" (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 "Dance The Sauris" 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 Sorrentino's ll Divo. He is currently composing for a theatrical adaptation of Céline's Voyage Au Bout De La Nuit with actor Elio Germano. 09 Nelson Gastaldi "Symphony No 3" (excerpt) From Symphony No 3: Siddhartha Gautama O El Poder De La Nada (Roaratorio) A self-described "musical nihilist with noble and mystic origins", Argentinian composer Nelson Gastaldi (1932-2009) 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 "Swannanoah Tunnel" From In The Age Of Batteries (Auger Down) Marco Panella is an experimental guitarist and songwriter from Vermont. Dusted magazine called Panella's album Eastern Landscapes (2010) "a worthy artifact of the creative mind untethered". In The Age Of Batteries, Panella's most recent album, pulls us further into Panella's 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 "Bruise" (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 'live' 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 "Cosmic Avian Variation" 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, Omnia Convivia Crastina, has just been issued on CD by Onoma Research. 13 Matteo Uggeri/Luca Mauri/Francesco Giannico "5:34am: Calaverna" 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, an all-star gathering of the Italian underground electronic scene. This track is taken from the forthcoming Pagetos (Morning Frost), the last and definitive chapter by the trio Uggeri/Mauri/Giannico. 14 Bney Hama "Kampai" 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 Hama's 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 "Waterlog" 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 "Panharmonicon Particle Radio" From Trojandropper (Zum) Neil Campbell is an experimental musician known for his solo work as Astral Social Club and for being a member of Leeds's Vibracathedral Orchestra, along with his collaborations (with Matthew Bower, Richard Youngs, Decaer Pinga). Californian Robert Horton got his start in late 1970s San Francisco punk act The Appliances and later with The Plateau Ensemble. After a lengthy hiatus, he returned with a flood of collaborations with Tom Carter, Loren Chasse and Yellow Swans). Trojandropper is the duo's first recording together, although they've never met 'in real life'. 17 AlbertoBoccardi "You Told Me That You Were Lying" From Alberto Boccardi (fratto9 under the sky) Engineer and electroacoustic musician Alberto Boccardi studied aerospace engineering and music in Milan, and has worked in audio-visual contexts (anyBetterPlace, Venice Biennale 2011), dance (Compagnia Cinzia Delorenzi, Schuko) and video art (Yuri Ancarani, Francesca Amati). He attempts to create deep emotional soundscapes by working with minimal elements and focusing on the contrast between sound and silence. 18 Baconhead "Fly Traps" 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 "Will" 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 punk rock group hailing from Western Massachusetts. Starting in the summer of 2010, Big Nils have played many shows in New York and Boston, released an eight track album entitled Sibling, and are soon to release a 7" on Abscess. Big Nils enjoy taking trips in Sen's Cadillac, making noise in Coco's basement and eating burgers. Essentially, Big Nils are a group of swagged-out young adults looking for some fun. 20 Elfmilk "Electron Degeneracy Pressure" From Extragalactic Distance (Independent Recordings) Elfmilk is Mexican artist Eddie Harari Achar, who started making music more than 20 years ago playing in different groups, recording and experimenting with sound. This project revolves around abstract Ambience and experimental rhythmic minimalism. The songs are crafted from analogue and digital sounds as well as various field recordings, creating landscapes open to interpretation.
