The CD uses solely field recordings and is composed in a way so as to directly reference the areas they've come from mixed with my thoughts and inspirations derived from these areas."

Each CD is hand printed and comes with it's own individually hand drawn water colour insert, limited edition sticker and uniquely individual colour scheme, there is no two the same appart from the CD tracks, all for the bargain price of $5 + postage. Read more

Tim Coster - Landing

Landing mines a deep vein of music from the fields of 'ambient', but with a definite nod towards the field-recording school. Sourced from a refined blend of field recordings, processed instruments and electronics, these pieces are at first deceptively simple, but closer listening reveals layers of complexity lurking beneath apparently static surfaces. Tim Coster's compositions maintain distinct hints of identifiable sounds which create a genuine sense of space and place. Read more

Diaspora - Let's Hear It For The Vague Blur

A psychedelic tour de force by Lloyd Barrett & Joe Musgrove, "Let's Hear It For The Vague Blur" is a 40 minute slow motion freefall down a kaleidoscopic rabbit's hole of almost graspable abstraction. Conceived and composed in multi-channel surround sound, the audio is the air upon which the video floats. This film is an exercise in gleeful, contemplative confusion. All 'identifiable' images in this film exist only in the minds of the viewers - in this case the mind plays tricks on itself because it has no choice. Read more

Biffplex - Noun / Ams Win

Noun is a psychedelic drone workout aimed squarely at the obliteration of time and space in the mind of the user.
