CROUTON NO.37
Tim Catlin and Jon Mueller
“Plates and Wires”
CD
Out of print.
Australian guitarist Tim Catlin and American percussionist Jon Mueller’s approach to their instruments is based on their shared interest in the vibration of material and the changes in sound that result in modifying those vibrations. Over a year in the making, “Plates and Wires” features […]

CROUTON NO.36
Raymond Dijkstra
“Maskenstilleben”
LP
OUT OF PRINT
We are very pleased to present this enchanting special edition LP from sculptor, painter, drawer and composer, Raymond Dijkstra. Since 2003, his recorded work has been released in very grandly designed (though extremely small editions) on the Le Souffleur label, all of which are out of print and not easy to […]

CROUTON NO.35
Alessandro Bosetti
“Her Name”
CD
OUT OF PRINT
“Her Name” is a record founded on meetings and voices. Having toured extensively throughout Europe, China, Japan, and the U.S., Bosetti’s performances consisted of some of the music you’ll hear within. During the performances he sat, with a computer sitting on a table next to him, his voice at the […]

CROUTON NO.33
RM74/RLW
“Pirouetten”
CD

On his way to RLW’s single-family-house, RM74 became a victim of the german control paranoia, as embodied by a sturdy female Karlsruhe tram-warden. Influenced by the folkloristic stubbornness […]

CROUTON NO.32
Daniel Menche
“Creatures of Cadence”
CD
Out of print
Despite what the title might suggest, “Creatures of Cadence” is not about endings, completion, or finality. Instead we find Menche inviting a slew of new mediators into his cathartic miasma. The medium now extends beyond the rich and unfathomable depths of somatic sound. His ongoing dialogue between body and […]

CROUTON NO.31
Robert Hampson/Steven Hess
“S/T”
CD
OUT OF PRINT
A sensible combination, brought to light by a chance contact resulting in a fairly lengthy process of recording, listening, and mixing. Robert Hampson, is, of course, the visionary behind sound behemoths LOOP and MAIN, and even served a highly productive position within GODFLESH, ORGANUM, and also collaborated with JIM O’ […]
