pan press release...

andre vida 'brud: volumes i-iii' (pan 20) brud is a three volume compilation of recordings from 1995 to 2011 by andre vida, morphing seamlessly between a sense of total irreverence and the sublime. his spontaneous compositions and notated works are the angled mirrored counterparts of a transient saxophone driven performance language, drawing on elements of 1970s performance art, new music, improvisation cult, folk and pop hybrids, channeling them into asymmetrical tunes of feral beauty. brud traces the development of vida's wayward language through 16 years of copious ruminations. the three delightfully polymorphic perverse discs unite sparkling solo sax, pieces for cello and woodwind sextet, synth / concrete electronic music, nocturnal improvisations, rare 90's new york free jazz compositions, and the kreuzberg suite — a distilled culmination of a hundred nights of berlin mayhem into ecstatic swinging lyricism. both solo works and as well as various collaborations with anthony braxton, rashad becker, axel dörner, matt "mv" valentine, tim barnes, helen rush, olaf rupp, clare cooper, clayton thomas, brandon evans, elisabeth king, steve heather and many more. andre vida is a hungarian american saxophonist, composer and lyricist living in berlin. more downtown cheeky grin than mere caveman smile, he is cosmically notorious for continuing the rahsaan roland kirk one man horn section legacy with hydra headed style. he has been at the forefront of several major developments in experimental music, being mainly in anthony braxton’s original ghost trance ensemble, as founding member of new york collective the ctia, subsequent ‘freak folk’ groups such as the tower recordings, and his extensive collaborations with electronic music visionaries jamie lidell, tim exile and kevin blechdom, elton john, gonzales, cecil taylor, ornette coleman to name but a few, sewing up some heavy threads in downtown sax patchwork refracted through a borgesian lens. the 3xcd is a limited edition of 1000 copies, and is packaged in a pro-press digisleeve jacket which itself is housed in a one-tone silk screened pvc sleeve with artwork by andre vida and bill kouligas.

billy bao “urban disease” long playing record

• urban disease (2)

pan press release...

billy bao 'urban disease' lp (pan 11) 'urban disease' is the new radical work by billy bao, mattin, taku unami, tim barnes, barry weisblat and margarida garcia. it's important to remember that before mattin and anarchism ruined his life, billy bao was a bit of a troubadour who accompanied himself on acoustic guitar and warbled wild songs of protest in his native nigerian patois. this new album, his third on vinyl, finds billy in a transitional phase toward the end of 2006, before the gaztetxes of bilbao burrowed into his marrow, before mattin became the merle to his g.g., before billy turned into herpes sore in the mouth of global capitalism. "billy doesn't believe in hypnagogia," we're told, "because he always sleeps with one eye open, and when he dreams, all he sees is aids denialists, german shepherds, and soldiers disguised as un peacekeepers." before taku unami fucked it up, this session found bao relaxed and in high spirits as he conducted a pickup band of itinerant improvisers through a song-by-song cover of amon düül's psychedelic underground. margarida garcia lent her astounding skill and highly personal idiom on the electric double-bass, in her hands an instrument with the tension of string on wood and the disruptive potential of a crackle box. barry weisblat, meanwhile, teased out a century of drone from a cornell lunchbox of filament and circuitry. who better to play drums and percussion than the sainted tim barnes? mattin, thumb and forefinger compulsively pinching or stroking his hitler mustache after every take, funneled billy's malaise through laptop, percussion, and folk instrumentation. there was even, astonishingly, a women's choir on hand, eerily filling out the atmosphere with wordless vocals and incantations. but this is after, and the result is a fragmentary, extremely loud hippie jam session punctuated by stretches of uneasy silence and scrape. the lp is mastered and cut by rashad becker at d&m, in a limited edition of 500 copies, pressed on 140g vinyl and comes in a poly-lined inner sleeve. it is packaged in a pro-press jacket which itself is housed in a silk screened pvc sleeve with original artwork by new york artist henry flynt.

syr press release...

sonic youth the syr series having completed construction on their manhattan studios in 1996, sonic youth suddenly found themselves in a position to create unadulterated by the tyranny of time and space. as a result of their natural writing process, whereby collective improvisation congeals over time into song structures, they began to amass a small mountain of tape, most of it containing raw, wild, spontaneous music they reckoned wouldn't be "commercial" enough for geffen to release. yet the material seemed just as essential and true to their mission, and showed an important side of the band and their process that was usually inacessible to their fans. so instead of a problem, sy saw an opportunity — they decided to release these secret sonic glimpses themselves. sonic youth recordings was born.
