Yoshinori Noguchi aka Silentwave is a Japanese composer from Yokohama working most exclusively in the ambient field or drones music, though sometimes also going for a kind of repetitive electro used for commercials or exhibitions. His music expresses the themes of nature, consciousness and unconsciousness.
He is a prolific musician having recorded a lot of records, live or in studio.
To choose from his huge collection of music was not easy, but this album will give you a good opportunity to listen to his musical world.
The Deep Sea is a 20 minutes long piece of his typically ambient compositions while Noisebeat is a long repetition of a drone bell beat and ... noise!
Rome- based K-Mundi make (mostly) improvised music with a post-postmodernist approach, using acoustic, electronic, and electroacoustic instruments.
Økapi (Filippo Paolini): turntables, samples
Adriano Lanzi: electric guitar, electronics

The concert was aired in its entirety in the program Battiti , on Rai RadioTre (third channel of italian national radio).
28 Marzo is the music from that concert. Enjoy
Their first album will be released on Off in September.
OVD016-OUI038 : Pierre Vervloesem - Teun Verbruggen - Adrien Lambinet / Live at Pelzer Jazz House
One more time, Pierre Vervloesem brings his genius sense of music to another level!
This time, with fellows Teun Verbruggen on drums and Adrien Lambinet on trombone and effects.
On the first track, they go for a very improvised set, following a chart of time written in advance by Pierre allowing each of them a certain amount of minutes to do whatever they want with their own instrument or obliging them to improvise together.
The second set is completely improvised, one shot of free music.
At time, abstract, dub, jazz, classical or almost pop, the music is nevertheless extremely powerful or delicately played.

Nimzo-Indian is musician, artist and instrument maker Andrew Spackman. He has been making experimental electronic and electro-acoustic music under various pseudonyms since 1997 but more recently as Nimzo-Indian since 2011. His music is difficult to categorise or pin down, lurching from beat infused noise music to electro funk and jazz. Tracks on the album feature an eclectic and quixotic array of instrumentation including turntables, home made guitars and basses, processed voice and retro synths.
His music has been previously played on BBC Radio 3 Late Junction with Nick Luscombe and BBC 6 Music. He has also collaborated with a wide number of musicians including creating remixes for Mark Springer (Rip Rig and Panic), the High Llamas (Blinger Suc) and Sasha Siem. he has previously released 2 albums and 2 EP's. Nimzo-Indian's music has been reviewed in the Wire Magazine, Creative Review, MOJO, the Independent and on the cultural blogs Monolith Cocktail, Booooooom and Lost at e Minor.
This album was put together over a 2 year period and as such catalogues a range of moods and stylistic approaches over that time. Tracks such as Words, Shrigley and Poetronica feature the use of voice and computer poetry against guitar lines and experimental beats.
Telescope the Moon and Incredible Incredible are more cinematic and features live recordings from a Welsh chapel pump organ as well as washes of guitar noise from home made instruments.
Let's Forget, Time Waits and Speakon have a more world and avant jazz sound whilst still infused with complex rhythms and micro beats.
