New auasca release from Secret Pyramid “SECRET PYRAMID
In Ceremony
LTD To 75 PRO-DUBBED CASSETTES

In Ceremony was created using the rare Ones Martenot. It is an early electronic musical instrument played with a keyboard or by moving a ring along a wire, creating "wavering" sounds similar to a theremin. Combined with nothing but the sound of a space echo and light treatment, In Ceremony is a stunning example of rarified minimalist approach.

Secret Pyramid is the project of Amir Abbey, a Vancouver based sound artist and composer of electronic and electro-acoustic music. He utilizes and incorporates vintage synthesizers, acoustic string instruments, along with both analog and digital mediums to create a minimalistic sound world that explores the fine thread between beauty and eeriness. His music has been issued by labels such as Ba Da Bing!, Students Of Decay, and Geographic North.” @ Los Angeles, California

New auasca release by Guenter Schlienz! Presale is up! “GUENTER SCHLIENZ
Mutterkuchen
Limited edition of 75 pro-dubbed clear cassettes

Veteran sound mangler Guenter Shlienz makes his debut on Auasca

"There are certain sounds and styles that seem to be encoded in your DNA. They resonate heavily in your mind if you listen to them for the first time, rattling your bones with a rhythm that seem to be connected with ancient memories. Like you did know this music since you've been a toddler, but in this very moment those sounds manifest themselves for your ears for the very first time. to your own wondering and amazement.
The music on "mutterkuchen" is my humble try to record the sounds and music I hear if I listen to my rattling DNA. This music sounds very krauty, Cluster, Klaus Schulze, Tangerine Dream. To my own surprise the influence of another guy is pretty present if i listen to this album. This bloke Johann Sebastian Bach has lived long time ago, but his music still resonates a lot within my inner self. " - GS” @ Los Angeles, California

A little late on our part but a lovely review of our release from Skyminds. We are getting low on copies and we also have a really amazing batch coming out soon and will be announced this week!

Bliss. Blessed. Blasted. What’s the word for breaking free from words to pure sounds?Sean Conrad and Michael Henning’s reputations both precede them, but Skyminds is a collaboration hewn from the facet of a celestial ideal, the sort of simple floating enlightenment I suspect actually predates th...

Amazing interview with Patrick Shiroishi and artist Rob Sato Works discussing their efforts for Patrick's solo recording "Descension" album on Black Editions Group and a lot more. We are still proud to have released Shiroishi's cassette Sunreader "Shore Wide Rope" which we still have some copies available. But this read is important to anyone, especially in these trying times, and what they both grew up with in this country.

On the release of his LP "Descension" Patrick Shiroishi speaks with the album's cover artist Ron Sato about their parallel experiences as Japanese-Americans and the persistent relevance of WWII's Japanese-American concentration camps in contemporary America.
