Shumy Rossii - Nevidimost (BioSonar)
Label info: "Shumy Rossii (aka Les Bruits Russes) is a unique project on Russian post-industrial scene. To create their music they don't use any instruments except for voices of their vocalists. The main method of sound-expressing is perfectly executed collage technique. This CD contains the recording of live show, being held in the city of Obninsk in April 2003."

Skincage - Things Fall Apart (Spectre)
"Things Fall Apart" is the much awaited second CD by Jon Ray's Skincage, almost seven years after his highly impressive debut album, "Axon". Mainly created using an array of self-made and broken instruments, circuit-bent electronics and concrete sounds, the album does come across as much more somber than its predecessor, while thankfully letting that certain luminous touch still gleam through the haze. Along with Hollydrift and Brutum Fulmen, Skincage is part of those relatively rare craftsmen capable of truly bringing out the extraordinary from the mundane, of making objects "sing" if you will. A rewarding experience in isolationist sound.

Teho Teardo - Tower / Microphone (Final Muzik)
This album was recorded using an elaborate set-up of 24 contact microphones placed over various parts of the ancient "Ospedale dei Battuti" tower in San Vito al Tagliamento, Italy.
The 24 microphones were then plugged into a PA system and processed by manipulating the volume faders and several analog filters. A guitar, a Fender Rhodes piano and some electronic effects are also thrown in the mix, for an end result that is a lush tapestry of deep drones and delicate field recordings, with a melodic touch resulting from the use of these additional instruments.
This piece was commissioned in 2005 by the contemporary Art Festival Hic et Nunc.

"sounding sands are found in many places in the whole world. this rare natural phenomenon, is represented most of the time by beaches, whose sand is squeaking when it is struck or pushed. however, in some deserts, we meet some large dunes which have a more astonishing activity. sand avalanches, mostly provoked by the wind, create very deep sounds, extremely powerful, accompanied by tremors and lasting for several minutes. unexplained, these songs from the desert are depicted like roars, voices from supernatural beings or the rumbling of the thunder." (yannick dauby)"
