"Horizontal Mover (Homage to Alvin Lucier) - Claudio Parodi"
Taking inspiration from Alvin Luciers 1970 work I am sitting in a room 
Horizontal Mover is the first of 7 ongoing works by Claudio Parodi 
utilising the audio from the album 'Suoni 2005' by Tiziano Milani. In a 
similar process to Lucier's work he diffuses and re-records the source 
track until it completely dissipates and you are left with just 
acoustic ambience.

"Imaginary Conversations in Reverberant Rooms - Gail Priest"
Imaginary Conversations in Reverberant Rooms is the first full-length 
album from Sydney artist Gail Priest. Priest's background in working 
with installation and as a composer of live scores for performance 
comes across clearly in this recording.

"Stots - Lukas Simonis"
Stots begins just like that, lots of ghoulish voices, groaning and 
growling, grumbling and having lots of fun bee booing into an echo 
machine. It's field recordings glitch and multi levels of odd noises 
but things start to come together, as lo fi drones are layered with 
radio sounds, abused guitars, drills and bubbles.

"The Fourth Night - Bernhard Wagner"
Guitar and loop lovers, this one's for you. The Fourth Night explores 
the merging of the instrument's manifold versatility and the unique 
ways in which loops can create atmosphere and evoke moods. Wagner 
weaves a dense but easy to assimilate myriad of sonic patterns that can 
soothe or rouse.

"triMIX: Tribyrd Installation Soundtracks Deconstructed compiled by TJ 
Norris"
TriMIX is a CD/DVD compilation curated by photographer TJ Norris. TJ 
invited sound artists from around the globe to contribute soundtracks 
for his photographic expeditions. Norris explains "These original 
soundtracks guided me through the process as I virtually emulated the 
streets, building band spaces, by listening and looking 
simultaneously."

"Tripartite Collision - Bill Thompson"
Bill Thompson is a former guitarist now moving in electro-acoustic 
improvisation circles, whose sound falls somewhere between Keith Rowe 
and the more ambient Arcane Device. Although his early professional 
career was with a number of ensembles in Austin, Texas, he moved to 
Scotland in 2004 to study with Pete Stollery.
