Forthcoming Afe releases
Before we enjoy our summer break, it's time to spend a few words about some of the many forthcoming Afe releases that will be out in late October 2008. You'll be treated with the following:
- an Amon vs. Mortar full-lenght disc based on the tracks originally published by Oktagön in January 2000 on the "From the Graves" vinyl album. The disc will also include two extra tracks that didn't appear on the Oktagön release;
- a new full-lenght experimental work by acclaimed american sound artist John Hudak that include a one hour long composition based on field-recordings of doves;
- the newest chapter of the collaboration between italian maestro Maurizio Bianchi and israeli veteran producer and multi-instrumentalist musician Maor Appelbaum;
- the return on Afe of Brian Lavelle with "Ustrina" a new experimental unreleased work that follows his recent releases on Diophantine Discs, Taâlem and EE Tapes;
- a noisy collaboration between italian underground guitarist / songwriter Daniele Brusaschetto and norwegian experimentalist Benny Braaten, better known as Origami Galaktika;
- the latest full-lenght work by italian dark-ambient act Subinterior (also of Konau and Canaan fame), which follows his acclaimed "The Chrysalis Secret", also released by Afe in 2006;
- the fourth album by extraordinaire acoustic architect Tiziano Milani, a very particular work partly recorded in a reverberating room;
- "Nevmenosis", a collection of both released and unreleased ambient / experimental tracks by russian musician and composer Evgeny Voronovsky a.k.a. Cisfinitum;
- the first "official" release by italian guitarist / electronic musician Ascanio Borga, which comes after many self-released titles to showcase the many sides of his talent;
- a new work by german young experimentalist Mirko Uhlig, which was once active as Aalfang Mit Pferdekopf and who recently had releases on Nextera, Mystery Sea and Field Muzick;
- an industrial / noise new album by Tomasz Twardawa a.k.a. Genetic Transmission, a living legend of the underground industrial scene in Poland;
- a collaboration between the well-known italian industrialists Ur (...we also released their debut "Triadic Memories" in 2006...) and american musician / sound designer Craig Hilton;
- the newest minimal ambient / experimental / glitch work by Horchata, which is quite different from his previous "Coleoid", also released by Afe in 2007;
- a new album by brilliant New Zealand sound sculptress Abby Helasdottir best known as Gydja, quite a magickal listening experience;
- a sombre but effective album of ambient / drone music by scottish musician / guitarist Alistair Crosbie, which has been active at least for fifteen years in the local scene;
- the reissue of "Pipe Smoking On a Balloon", the latest full-lenght work by italian lowercase experimentalist Luca Bergero / Fhievel;
- an ultranoisy MiniCD-R Card by italian cult "band" Olyvetty;
- ...and probably a few more surprises, mp3 previews are coming soon, stay tuned!
