BEYOND THE BEAT	Where It Starts, Where It Ends	CD	KLANGGALERIE	GG 538CD
$19.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/10/2026 "Beyond the Beat is the debut album of Arthur Fussy (modular synthesizer) and Judith Schwarz (extended drums). Both make up 2/3 of the group Other:M:Other whose debut album was released on Klanggalerie. Arthur also works a lot for the theatre, and Judith plays in many bands, amongst others Gina Schwarz's Pannonica, *MelE, PRCDR with Manu Mayr (another Klanggalerie release), ChuffDrone, and Little Rosies Kindergarten**. Beyond the Beat is a rhythmic affair. Where does a bear start? When do the brain and conscience recognize a pattern? How abstract can a beat be to still be recognizable by the listener? Is rhythm a melody? Beyond the Beat explore the borders of rhythm and beat in a symbiosis of acoustic and electronic sounds. Get into their groove and marvel at the players virtuosity. An absolutely essential album at the border of jazz, electronic and avantgarde."

ROMA AMOR	Back To Dark	CD	KLANGGALERIE	GG 540CD
$19.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/10/2026 "Roma Amor is a neofolk/dark cabaret band from Italy. Their music is located somewhere between the melodic folk-inflected charm of the 1960s Italian songwriters and the cabaret swoon of French chansonniers, Roma Amor's music is instinctively romantic and sophisticated, and can be described as chanson noir or folk cabaret. Their self-titled debut album came out on Old Europa Cafe in 2008, followed by Femmina and Occhi Neri. In 2014, On The Wire was released on Klanggalerie, extending the line-up of the group by inviting guest musicians to perform, and extending also the sound to a more sophisticated pop orientated music. Two more albums followed in 2015 and 2018, and in 2022 a double CD was released, with one album being a re-issue of their classic Femmina, and the other being a complete previously unreleased album. Back To Dark is the band's brand-new long player. It is a dark slow rock album -- with hints of goth and doom, recorded at the beginning of 2026 in Italy. Of course you won't have to miss the band's trademark folk-cabaret style on this album either, but you also get a cover of Throbbing Gristle's 'Discipline.' A new direction added to the group's portfolio."

THEY MUST BE RUSSIANS	& Other Groundless Accusations	CD	KLANGGALERIE	GG 535CD
$19.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/10/2026 "They Must Be Russians were an irreverent post-punk band from Sheffield, England, taking their name from a newspaper quote about the Sex Pistols' 'God Save the Queen.' The group initially consisted of Russ Russian (vocals and guitar), Paul Russian (vocals and guitar), Carl (bass), and Brendan (effects). With production help from their local friends in Cabaret Voltaire, they debuted with the Nellie the Elephant EP in mid-1979. Another single, 'Don't Try to Cure Yourself,' was released on Fresh over a year later. A self-titled full-length was released by First Floor in 1983, and the LP Groundless Accusations was issued through Native in 1985. A year later, a 12" called Red Square was released with two album tracks and two new songs which have been included on this release. The group's sound is classic new wave/post punk like that of many of their contemporaries, so if you like Cabaret Voltaire, The Box, Screaming Trees or The Darling Buds then you will love They Must Be Russians, too. The whole album has been remastered by Martin Bowes of Attrition and is released on CD for the very first time."

BOURBONESE QUALK	My Government Is My Soul	CD	KLANGGALERIE	GG 526CD
$19.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 5/15/2026 "Bourbonese Qualk were an experimental music group from England who where active from 1979 until 2003. The group were always obsessively and uncompromisingly focused on controlling their work -- they ran their own record label, recording studio, tour organization and music venue (the legendary 'Ambulance Station') -- they refused to integrate into the commercial music racket turning down publishing deals from major labels -- stubbornly opting for total independence. Bourbonese Qualk were also known for their political activism which was formed in the crucible of the 1980s Britain. They saw their music as a revolutionary cultural force -- a belief that radical musical forms must be part of positive social change. Despite this position, the group avoided dogma, cliché and propaganda, preferring to let their audience come to their own conclusions -- their work was often ambiguous and directly critical of cynical power-politics of any color -- often irritating members of the traditional 'organized left.' In 1984 Bourbonese Qualk occupied a large empty building on the Old Kent Road in South London which they turned into a base for their activities and a co-operative for artists, musicians and writers as well as a center for radical political activism -- specifically as a coordinating center for the 'Stop The City' anti-capitalist riots of 1984-1986. They never recorded in a 'proper' studio (not that they could ever afford to), choosing instead to work with their own extremely basic equipment If Bourbonese Qualk have a legacy, it is that 'culture' should be reclaimed, re-defined and owned by the people, wherever they are, however small and not by the state or the market and that 'culture' is a vital vehicle for debate and radical change. My Government Is My Soul was the band's sixth album, originally released by Fünfundvierzig in Germany in 1989."

DEATH DISCO	Death Notes	CD	KLANGGALERIE	GG 531CD
$19.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 5/15/2026 "Electronic music producer Samuel Kerridge -- who was also curator of Berlin's Atonal festival for a time -- and Maxim 'Panda' Barron, former guitarist with Brighton indie rockers TOY, have joined forces in their electrifying new project Death Disco to conspire against the living. Drawing on the rebellious roots of (post)punk, EBM, industrial, and slow metal spiced with a DIY ethos, the duo has created a sense of urgency and authenticity on their debut album Death Notes. Samuel's fierce vocal work and electronics gives the album an emotional depth that goes beyond its aggressive nature, while Maxim's pulsating rhythms keeps cutting through the atmosphere with skin-stripping power. Death Disco moves through different experiences and paces, carving out a unique norm in an equally unsettling and uncompromising sonic world. Their debut album was previously released on LP, cassette and download, now Klanggalerie are happy to bring you this seminal album on CD. Mastered by Justin K. Broadrick."

NASH THE SLASH	Covered	CD	KLANGGALERIE	GG 522CD
$19.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 5/15/2026 "James Jeffrey Plewman, better known by his stage name Nash the Slash, was a Canadian musician. A multi-instrumentalist, he was primarily playing the electric violin and mandolin, as well as the synthesizer, keyboards, glockenspiel, and other instruments. Nash worked as a solo artist beginning in 1975; founding the progressive rock band FM in 1976. Soon after releasing the band's first album, Black Noise, in 1977, he left the group; he resumed his solo career in 1978. Nash's music covers an eclectic range, varying from instrumental--mood-setting music, to rock and pop music with vocals. In addition to giving concert performances, he composed and performed soundtrack music for silent films, presenting these works live in movie theatres to accompany screenings of the films. Nash famously never allowed guitars on any of his solo albums and singles. He turned down Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour's offer to lay down a guitar track on his album Children of the Night. In the mid-1980s Nash the Slash was invited to support Gary Numan and Iggy Pop on their tours. In 1984, Nash released a compilation album (with most tracks remixed) entitled The Million Year Picnic on Ralph Records in the United States, the label which was home to The Residents. This covers album was introduced by Friendly Rich, a Canadian music composer and musician from Brampton, Ontario. Amongst many other things, Rich composed background music for three seasons of MTV's The Tom Green Show. He also founded the Brampton Indie Arts Festival, an annual event which promotes underground artists such as Nash the Slash, The Nihilist Spasm Band or Ron Sexsmith."

Some of the songs were produced solo, one is a live recording from my performance with the Jovino Santos Neto Quinteto at the Triple Door, others are from the sessions that Ama Trio (AD/Madeleine Sosin/Abel Rocha) recorded at Gravel Voice sessions with Scott Colburn, as well as a rich collaboration with fellow-Seattle Composers Alliance colleagues Tara Forth and Steve Kirk on Crow Totem a piece inspired by the fiery spirit of graphic novelist/poet/artist/free spirit Noel Franklin."

BLURT	Smoke Time	CD	KLANGGALERIE	GG 523CD
$19.00 LOW STOCK LEVEL "Blurt was founded in Stroud, UK, in 1979 as part of the post-punk movement by poet, saxophonist und puppeteer Ted Milton along with Milton's brother Jake, formerly of psychedelic group Quintessence, on drums and Peter Creese on guitar. After three albums Creese left the band to be replaced by Herman Martin on synthesizers who, after a year of constant touring left the band, and was replaced by Steve Eagles, former member of Satan's Rats, The Photos, and Bang Bang Machine. Shortly thereafter Jake Milton left to be replaced by Nic Murcott, who was subsequently replaced by Paul Wigens. Most of Blurt's compositions feature simple, repetitive, minimalistic guitar and/or saxophone phrases, but they can also explore more abstract musical territories, often serving as an atmospheric backdrop for Ted Milton's existentialist poetry. The music has been described as Dada-Avantgarde-Jazz or Paranoid Jazz-Mutant Funk. Practically impossible to pigeonhole. In the early 1990s, Ted Milton also released a small run of self-made lyrics books. Smoke Time was originally released in 1987 on the Toeblock label and features some of the group's best-known songs. The mini-album The Body came out the next year with a new version of the title song and four songs that became standards in Blurt live shows. Remastered in 2025 by Martin Bowes."

RAPOON	The Silent Trumpets	CD	KLANGGALERIE	GG 536CD
$19.00 LOW STOCK LEVEL "Founded in 1992 after Robin Storey left Zoviet France, Rapoon soon became an outstanding ethno-dark ambient project that has gained a cult following all over the world. More than 80 albums have been released over those nearly 30 years, some more beat driven, others more playful and with ambient sounds and ethnic influences. Rapoon has never stopped evolving -- think of Cultural Forgeries, an album full of unplugged acoustic music. Or Downgliding, full of compositions on the piano. Recent Klanggalerie albums include Waiting by the River, an album that introduced vocals to the Rapoon sound, or Little Rocket Man which was inspired by the political situation in 2018 with Trump as president in the United States or Moka 24 inspired by the 1920 night club in the TV series Babylon Berlin. The Silent Trumpets is Robin Storey's latest album and it carries all the Rapoon trademark sounds that fans all love."

GRATKOWSKI'S IN CAHOOTS, FRANK	Frank Gratkowski's In Cahoots	CD	KLANGGALERIE	GG 524CD
$19.00 IN STOCK "After playing complete improvised music with no constraints from 2016 on and releasing their first Album Torbid Dayligtht the quartet Gratkowski/Zoubek/Landfermann/Mahnig got renamed in 2023 to In Cahoots and now performs compositions by Frank Gratkowski, still with plenty of space for creative improvisation.

Frank Gratkowski was born in Hamburg in 1963 and studied at the Cologne University of Music and Dance. He has extended his instrumental skills to include almost the entire spectrum of woodwind instruments, including flutes. He works intensively on tonal extensions and modifications of his instruments in solo projects and small formations using unorthodox playing techniques and microtonal concepts, some of which he has developed himself. As a bandleader and composer, he traverses the broad context of contemporary improvised music. There is no clear distinction between composition and improvisation in his work."

FRITH & THE GRAVITY BAND, FRED	Fred Frith And The Gravity Band	CD	KLANGGALERIE	GG 514CD
$19.00 IN STOCK "Fred Frith is one of the most important musicians of our time. He was born in Sussex, UK and now lives in California, USA. He first came to attention as one of the founding members of the English avant-rock group Henry Cow. He was and is also a member of groups like Massacre, Art Bears, Skeleton Crew, or Cosa Brava. Over the past 40 years Fred has collaborated with outstanding musicians like John Zorn, Tom Cora, Bill Laswell, Carla Kihlstedt, Henry Kaiser, Phil Minton, Brian Eno, The Residents, Marc Ribot, Lol Coxhill, Ikue Mori, Zeena Parkins, Derek Bailey, Anthony Braxton, Evan Parker, John Butcher, Laurie Anderson -- the list could go on much longer. In 1974 Fred Frith released his landmark album Guitar Solos, a glimpse into what he had been doing with his guitar. It was improvised and recorded within four days and presented an experimental and innovative way of playing the instrument. Frith relocated to New York and quickly became part of the downtown avantgarde scene, something he found very liberating as he could be himself instead of living up to what other people were expecting of him. Fred also started composing music for film, dance and theatre. After a few years in Stuttgart, Germany, Frith went back to the States where he is now professor of composition. In 1980, The Residents' label Ralph records released his album Gravity focusing on Frith as a composer, not improvisor. It features guests like Aksak Maboul, Lars Hollmer, Chris Cutler, or Catherine Jauniaux. In 2014, Frith took the album on the road again with a special line-up of musicians, the Gravity Band. The Gravity Band was the brainchild of Aaron Novik and Dominique Leone, who proposed joining their two groups together to perform this material. Klanggalerie are now proud to bring you a recording of this incredible group in action for the first time on CD. It features music from the shows in Nijmegen, The Netherlands and Moers, Germany."

EL INFIERNO MUSICAL	2	CD	KLANGGALERIE	GG 520CD
$19.00 IN STOCK "By inevitable coincidence, a street vendor in Buenos Aires became an instrument of providence, when he compelled attention of Christof Kurzmann, sitting outside a coffeehouse. His merchandise were small books of Hispanic writers, and the chosen one that ended up in the buyer's pocket some eighteen years ago was a collection of poems by Argentinean poet Alejandra Pizarnik. Her works abound with music and sounds or absence of it, appreciating silence. For Kurzmann, this served as a sufficient reason to dive into her writings, which resulted in releasing El Infierno Musical: a tribute to Alejandra Pizarnik in the fall of 2011. El Infierno Musical was a quintet started back in 2008 thanks to a wild card given to Kurzmann as a birthday present by the organizers of Music Unlimited festival in Wels, Austria, which hosted its official premiere. For the 50th day of death of Alejandra Pizarnik Kurzmann brought El Infierno Musical back to life again, worked on new material and changed the line-up of the band in which only he himself and Ken Vandermark are left from the founding formation. Dave Rempis -- long-time friend on saxophone, as well as Chicago Symphony Orchestra member Katinka Kleijn who together with another great Chicago-Scene musician Lia Kohl share the role of the cellists in the band. And to round the fresh line-up off, young drummer, percussionist Lily Finnegan completes the newly created Sextet. The music brings a clear structure filled with improvised parts, masterly played by perfectly coordinated musicians, who take advantage of their miscellaneous musical histories and styles."

ETANT DONNES	Les Cent Jours Clairs	CD	KLANGGALERIE	GG 518CD
$19.00 LOW STOCK LEVEL "Etant Donnes is a French duo named after Marcel Duchamp's last major work. The group consists of brothers Marc and Eric Hurtado, born in Morocco and working mainly as performance artists and musicians. Their sound can be described as a mix of field recordings, found sounds and sometimes whispered, sometimes violent vocals. They describe their sounds like this: 'Through Marc and Eric, it is the volume of each word that becomes an object-sculpture, together with the power of their bodies expressing their voices. Each event is a scream -- indeed even the glissando -- of the strength of the word that sometimes abruptly becomes a rock, a solid surface, not in the least fluvial, as is the narrative of a tale, novel or poetic epic. With both of them, there is no more trace of ancient prosodies, no more trace of the incomprehensible Sainte-Beuve who could claim: 'I have to collect a volume of prose.' The word, the voice, the volume take shape with each other, unveiling a theatre that theatre usually ignores, which has given it such things as a Samuel Beckett's Fin de Partie.' Over the years Etant Donnes have collaborated with people like Lydia Lunch, Michael Gira, Alan Vega, and Genesis P-Orridge. Les Cent Jours Clairs was the group's sixth album and was originally released on Bain Total in 1984."

ZAHGURIM	I Can Feel The Fun	CD	KLANGGALERIE	GG 507CD
$19.00 NOT IN STOCK "Zahgurim formed in 1983 and were early contributors to the industrial music scene associating with the Temple Ov Psychick Youth. They were invited by Konnex Records Manfred Schiek to record an album for his Berlin Atonal label resulting in Moral Rearmament produced at Julian Gilbert and Simon Crab's studio at the Old Ambulance Station on Londons Old Kent Road. It became Berlin Atonal's fifth release. Live performances at Dimitri Hegemanns pioneering Berlin Atonal festival with Psychic TV, Test Dept., Laibach et al were followed by appearances at TOPYs early rave Thee Fabulous Feast ov Flowering Light at Londons Hammersmith Palais in May 1985 and the ICAs Drastic Classicism season. Shortly afterwards Zahgurim members Paul Ackerley and William Vince co-founded the percussion group Left Hand Right Hand. In 2018 Klanggalerie re-issued Moral Rearmament and Zahgurim played their first live show in 32 years in Vienna. A live document of the performance Live at Klang 25 was released on Klanggalerie. It included a new recording: 'The Living Room.' That was picked up by Olf van Eldens' Rush Hour label for the interstellar funk compilation Artificial Dancers -- Waves of Synth curated alongside Chris and Cosey, The Human League and Clan of Xymox. I Can Feel The Fun came out first as a download only release on Nostalgia De La Boue as a response to Tristan Koreya's curiosity. He rightly suspected that years of musical shrapnel lay scattered on tapes and digital folders. Recordings continued to be made with the original analogue equipment in spontaneous takes, channeling the early period musical fascinations and featured original band members, associates and new ones who are at the age now that the original ones were in 1984. As the world is still in chaos, their ruthless take on it was necessary to retain the projects authenticity. Recordings were created in coastal Sussex between 2013 and 2023. All songs were created, mixed and performed by the Ackerleys."

TIETCHENS & ACHIM WOLLSCHEID, ASMUS	Fundstuck	CD	KLANGGALERIE	GG 501CD
$19.00 LOW STOCK LEVEL "Asmus Tietchens is a sound artist and composer from Hamburg, Germany. He got interested in Musique Concrete by listening to a German radio program when he was 10 years old. In 1965, at the age of 18, Asmus started experimenting with tape loops and turned them into musical collages. Soon, the use of synthesizers was added. In 1980 his debut album Nachtstücke, was released, produced by Peter Baumann of Tangerine Dream. This was soon followed by a series of albums of electronic pop music for the Sky label, home of many Krautrock bands. Tietchens often uses special source materials for his compositions such as water ('Seuchengebiete'), human voices ('Von Mund zu Mund'), paper ('Papier ist geduldig'). He is associated with the Industrial music scene through his collaborations and releases on labels such as United Dairies, Esplendor Geometrico or Dom Records. Tietchens never studied composition, he has no academic background, everything he does is self-taught or learning by doing. Achim Wollscheid is a media artist whose work over the past 20 years has been at the forefront of experimental music. He has performed and presented installation projects internationally. His work in sound has led to an interest in the relation between sound, light and architectural space, which he pursues through public, interactive and electronic projects. He is a founding member of Selektion, an organisation for the production and distribution of information systems. Achim also forms the collective S.B.O.T.H.I., derivated from research from the '40s: Sexual Behaviour Of The Human Infant, later renamed to Swimming Behaviour Of The Human Infant. Recently, when Asmus Tietchens needed space in his Hamburg flat, he went through boxes in his cupboard and found a recording credited to himself and Achim Wollscheid. It turned out to be an album originally recorded 20 years ago for the Ritornell label (Mille Plateaux) that was, for reasons unknown now, shelved and forgotten."

REININGER, BLAINE L.	Nine Times	CD	KLANGGALERIE	GG 504CD
$19.00 NOT IN STOCK "Blaine L. Reininger needs no special introduction. He is an American post-punk, new-wave and alternative pop singer, songwriter, musician, multi-instrumentalist (particularly violin), writer and performer. He is known for being a member of the group Tuxedomoon since 1977 after co-founding it with Steven Brown and, latterly, for a notable music and theatre career, both as a soloist and contributor to other artists' recordings, including The Durutti Column, Snakefinger, Anna Domino, Savage Republic or Paul Haig. After learning the violin and guitar during childhood and studying music theory in San Francisco, Reininger formed with the band Tuxedomoon with composer, singer, musician and college-mate Steven Brown and appeared on early albums such as Half Mute, Desire and Suite En Sous-Sol before departing early in 1983 to pursue a solo career. He permanently rejoined Tuxedomoon in 1988 and has subsequently appeared on more recent recordings such as 'Vapour Trails,' issued in 2007 by independent label Crammed Discs. Nine Times is Blaine's all-new album, following up Ghost Festival on Klanggalerie. Like its predecessor, it is a mix of classic Reininger songs and pieces of a more experimental nature."

LEGENDARY PINK DOTS, THE	Apparition	CD	KLANGGALERIE	GG 516CD
$19.00 LOW STOCK LEVEL "The Legendary Pink Dots are an Anglo-Dutch experimental rock band formed in London in August 1980. In 1984 the band moved to Amsterdam, playing with rotating musicians and having, as core members, singer/songwriter/keyboardist Edward Ka-Spel and keyboardist Phil Knight aka The Silverman. The band was originally called One Day but subsequently changed the name to The Legendary Pink Dots, apparently inspired by pink dots on certain keys of the band's main recording studio piano. In the 1980s the band released albums on Mirrodot and In Phaze; in 1985 they signed with Play It Again Sam for the release of The Lovers. Their music touches on elements of neo-psychedelia, ambient music, electronic music, tape music, industrial, psychedelic folk, synthpop, post-punk, progressive, jazz, noise, pop, and goth rock, with a distinctly experimental/avant-garde bent; their sound has evolved over time and remains distinctive, making it difficult to place the group into a concise style or genre. The group's overall sound combined with Ka-Spel's distinct lyrics and singing have earned comparisons to Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett; the group also has links to the sounds of krautrock bands such as Can, Faust, Brainticket, Magma, or Neu! Apparition originally came out in 1982, the same year as their album Brighter Now. The first edition was a cassette only on the band's own Ding Dong label. In 2013 it came out as a limited edtion CDR, this 2025 release now being the first ever proper CD release. It has been carefully remastered by Edward Ka-Spel and includes bonus tracks not on the original album."

$24.00 LOW STOCK LEVEL "The Residents are an American art collective best known for their over 60 studio albums that were recorded over a period of over forty years. They also created some outstanding multimedia works, mainly three CD ROM projects and more than ten DVDs. Charles Bock was a pseudonym that Hardy Fox, co-founder and primary composer for the group, used from 2012 to 2017. About a dozen albums were released using that name until Fox started using his real name for his solo recordings. GOD O was the opening music for a Homer Flynn art exhibition in Oakland, CA (April-June 2011). This track was originally released in March 2012 as a download MP3 file only and later as a small run CD by The Cryptic Corporation. In addition, three reworked tracks were released as download only. Klanggalerie are now collecting these songs together with a previously unreleased track named 'GDC' that is half an hour long and was most likely created by Hardy in 2017. In addition, the label offers the download versions of the bonus tracks that are slightly differently mixed to the CD versions.

$19.00 LOW STOCK LEVEL "JEM3 is an improvising trio that brings together the wide-ranging talents of three unique musicians: drummer JT Lewis, guitarist/reed player Elliott Sharp, and guitarist Marco Cappelli. The JEM3 found its genesis in an improvised set at the behest of Cappelli. The results felt great to all and so more shows followed. They decided to book a session at GSI Studios and this debut album Apices is the result. In addition to their mastery of their instruments and innovative approaches, JEM3 operates from the strategy of spontaneous composition with structure and narrative arc of equal weight to instrumental inventiveness. JT Lewis, a member of the band Harriet Tubman, has performed or recorded with many artists including Herbie Hancock, David Sanborn, Sting, Lou Reed, Marianne Faithfull, Elvis Costello, Whitney Houston, Debbie Harry, and more.

PALO ALTO	The Persistence Of Memory (Early Tapes 1990-1993)	2CD	KLANGGALERIE	GG 502CD
$24.00 LOW STOCK LEVEL "Palo Alto is a French group formed in Paris, France in 1989 by Jacques Barbéri, Denis Frajerman, Philippe Masson, and Philippe Perreaudin. In their early interviews the group insisted on their musical filiation with Tuxedomoon, and on drawing their inspiration from Made to Measure, a Crammed Discs label. They would later make explicit their interest in bands such as Art Zoyd, The Legendary Pink Dots, Coil, The Residents, Can, or Cabaret Voltaire. Science fiction in all its forms is a leitmotiv in the group's work. In 1990 Palo Alto released their cassette tape, Le clos, on the Italian label Old Europa Café. At the time their music was definitely written rather than improvised, consisting mainly of instrumentals with a stress on melody. Two years later, Extrême Ponction was released as a cassette on the T.T.I.C.C. Contingent label in France. This double CD collects those two tapes with the addition of Excroissance, another cassette release from 1993, this time as a cassette single. The whole material has been remastered by Norscq in 2024."

Among her current musical involvements are The Tiptons Sax Quartet (formerly The Billy Tipton Memorial Saxophone Quartet) and Kultur Shock, an international Balkan gypsy/metal/punk group based in Seattle. She has also collaborated repeatedly with the Pat Graney Dance Company, David Dorfman Dance Company, Victoria Marks, and with many other choreographers. Her first recording was No Bones released as a cassette on her record label Spoot Music in 1986. Her first LP was with the Entropics. She founded Tiptons in 1987, and also started Tone Dogs with bassist Fred Chalenor. Tone Dogs' first release Ankety Low Day was nominated for a Grammy Award. She has performed and recorded with (among others) Matt Cameron, KMFDM, Curlew, Fred Frith, Pointless Orchestra, Francisco López, Danny Barnes, Pale Nudes, The Danubians, Chris Cutler, Guy Klucevsek, Pauline Oliveros, Derek Bailey, Chuck D, Bill Rieflin, and Die Knoedel. Vicky Lee at the Seattle Theater Group commissioned Denio to compose a new soundtrack for the classic German silent film Varieté for their ongoing silent film series. After months of preparation, the 12-piece ensemble performed the score live at the Paramount Theater on February 2, 2019 in the midst of that year's snowpocalypse. Though the city shut down, the show went on to rapturous applause. Wanting to hear the music again, Amy reassembled the ensemble in 2023 and began putting together the necessary resources to produce the audio recording. With the assistance of Articifial Intelligence to spell out the recording schedule to include nursing breaks every two hours, they recorded 32 sections in two eight-hour days."

SUTCLIFFE NO MORE	Diving Board	CD	KLANGGALERIE	GG 481CD
$19.00 LOW STOCK LEVEL "Sutcliffe No More is the follow-up name for the band known as Sutcliffe Jugend. It was founded by Kevin Tomkins in 1982. It started as a power electronics act, quickly gaining a name for itself, before branching out stylistically, creating a distinctive style that drew influence from all manner of genres while keeping true to their roots as a noise act. In its original form Sutcliffe Jugend existed for less than a year before Tomkins stopped the project to join Whitehouse. He reformed the group in 1994 with Paul Taylor who also played on some of the project's early material. The project ended in 2019. They released one album under a new name, Slaves No More, then continued as Sutcliffe No More. While obviously the band's roots lie in noise music and power electronics, and the influence of Whitehouse can still be heard, Sutcliffe No More are now focusing on a more diverse musical approach to accompany Kevin Tomkins' lyrics. Recently, they started to introduce distorted rhythms into their music as well. Diving Board is the all-new album and according to Kevin Tomkins it's their most fucked up yet. You know that means something."
