Of course, all of this is possible thanks to your interest and support. Comments, complaint and conversation is welcome on our bilingual BBS. Thanks for visiting. may 2008 newsAs we march into the summer months, it seems that the heat brings the noisemongering hordes. Out from hibernation and into a whirl of spring activities, they make themselves heard. This spring, we have done our part by helping legendary drone psychedelist Pete Kember (aka Spectrum/Sonic Boom) with a sold-out show last month, and we immediately present a noisy festival as part of our ongoing Test Tone series. Our Sonic Seizure Extravaganza brings you sensory overload, captivating performance and intense audio explorations brought to you in the heart of the Noisy Hole. Bring your friends, your earplugs (maybe), and some listener grit. This month also signals a first: a Jahiliyyah double-header. Two days of mulched-out slumber drone for all of you lovers on the 29th and 30th of May. It's a holiday, so come celebrate! As always, thanks for your support. There are new mp3s on the listening post, and check the latest releases!

soundispatch 2007 release updateSoundispatch presents three new albums from three fine units: Pfeuti, Jahiliyyah and Missing Man Foundation. Pfeuti's first full-length album since the release of Pigeon Post in 2001, Last Terminus captures the band in a stripped-down setting, providing a post-jazz soundtrack to urban bustle and hum. Click here to take a listen. With a mighty heave, bedroom casualties Jahiliyyah have made an album worthy of playback in the walkmans of the hearing impaired. Rumbling tectonics meet collapsing melodies in a first release entitled Anon Nehrut. Check it out here. Finally, Missing Man Foundation have salvaged the best performances from their irregular appearances at the Test Tone event at Superdeluxe, in a kaleidoscopic journey aptly named Test Tone Sessions.

soundispatchの2007年リリース情報SoundispatchからPfeuti、JahiliyyahとMissing Man Foundation、それぞれが新しいアルバムをリリース！ まず多国籍フリージャズ／ポストロック・バンドPfeuti（フォイティ）の３年ぶりとなる二ュー・アルバム「Last Terminus」。「ラウンジ・リザーズの手法を用いたエチオピアン・ソウルファンク meets ヘンリー・マンチーニ」と言うべき新しいポスト・ジャ ズの形態を表現。試聴はこちらから！ 次に、Jahiliyyah（ジャヒリーヤ）は東京を中心に活動する新鋭三人によるユニット。 ニュー・アルバム『Anon Nehrut』は重厚なエレクトロニクス・ミュージックと瞑想的で静謐な音の共演で、 共にエレクトロ・アコースティックなノイズながらも無機と有機の融合には心を揺さぶられる。 サンプルmp3はここ！ そして、エレクトロ・アコースティック・デュオMissing Man Foundation（ミッシング・マン・ファンデイション）の最新作は、 SuperdeluxeでのイベントTest Toneで録音されたテーブルトップ・ギター、ラップトップ、エレクトロニクスのインプロヴィゼー ションによるカテゴライズ不能のサウンドスケープ。 「Test Tone Sessions」という名にふさわしく、音の変幻自在な世界に引き込まれる。 試聴は、ここをクリック！ march 2008 newsThere is a barrage of activity in the next two months. We'll let you skim through the listings below to check it out for yourself, but there are some pretty spectacular concerts coming up with FDF, Jahiliyyah, and a number of new units with a special roster of international music purveyors. In fantastic news (for those in the know), Legofriendy will finally be releasing their album in tangible, almost-huggable CD format. Come help them celebrate at the pre-pre release celebrations at Test Tone in April. They will be joined by visual unit Tripon, as well as Canadian audiovisual engineers Instant Places, and Yukitomo Hamasaki from the undersung Japanese label 'matter'. Hope to see you soon. january 2008 newsHappy New Year 2008! It's the Year of the Rat, and although it's not the most endearing of the Chinese Zodiacs, we welcome all you Rats back with your cunning, order and penchant for atrocities. To honour the occasion, we will be holding a very special all-night extravaganza with a list of bands too great to overlook, yet too long to mention here. Check the Test Tone homepage for a full roundup of the joyful noise taking place January 12th at Super-Deluxe. Welcome the New Year with explosive delights! In other happy noises, Jahiliyyah will finally have a chance to sell their CD in earnest at two shows this month. One takes place at legendary B-horror movie bar Gari Gari on the 13th of January, followed by a stint at Kouenji's own Muryoku Muzenji on the 27th. Check below for particulars. december 2007 newsThe Year of the Pig is drawing to a close, and we are sad to see it go. Not only because there are so many fond memories of leaving the house to experience the bewildering, phenomenal and extraordinary of 2007, but the Year of the Rat doesn't have the 'ring' (or does it?)... We will not, however, go without a fitting farewell. Let's just say, the next two installments of our monthly Test Tone event will be spectacular. The final Test Tone of 2007 brings together a wonderfully varied evening of music and visuals: lush passages of orchestral rock, spacious noise-etched guitar improvisations, and a gigantic dose of live dub electronica, all happening beneath a tapestry of remarkable projected art. Also, stay tuned for our first party of 2008, where we'll break with tradition and run all night, hosting bands, DJs, circus clowns, live elephants and the finest acrobats in the world. As always, all of this is included in your drink order! Check the Test Tone Flickr page for a sample of what you may be missing. Coming up this month will be a few other great events, for those who like their improvised music with burning electronics. Hiroshi Hasegawa aka Astro will host the 7th volume of his event, Lunatic Scope, at Shinjuku Urga on December 7th. This will guarantee to be a crowd-deafening yawp of aural fuzz, featuring Astro, Governement Alpha, Tetragrammaton, and the ever-damaging Pain Jerk. Also, coming up on the 9th will be a very special night of guitar overkill at Ogikubo's Velvet Sun. Check below for more details. sept/oct 2007 newsTest Tone is back! After our August holiday, we had an excellent September line-up with the psychedelic rumblings of Sorane, the ethereal melodies of eje, and Yuki Kaneko's spellbinding performance of manipulated field recordings and electronics. October 9th will be one of the most explosive Test Tone parties yet, with the driving rhythms and freakout jams of Sheherherhers, the math-rock meets tropical dance party (I'm doing my best here - it's wonderfully insane) atmosphere of Hununhum, and champions of visual psychedelia, OHPIA! Everyone must come to this. In other news free-droning space-rockers Tetragrammaton will be joining the CRJ Festival at Hosei University on September 22nd, along with underground luminary Keiji Haino, Ryusenkei-body, MAS, and more. Also note that the lo-fi joyful union known as Hazuressive will release their second full album, Big Bear, next month. Avant-disco swingers FDF will join the release party at Akihabara Goodman on October 28th. Surely a fine party will be happening in Electric Town. april 2007 newsIn last month's news, our free event with the legendary Damo Suzuki came off beautifully, thanks to Terayuki Oshima sitting in last minute for Tabata in the guitar seat, who had come down with an unfortunate case of immobility. Thanks to Damo, Umibachi, lighting maestros OHPIA, and all of the musicians who made the evening a smashing party. This month at Test Tone, we will switch gears slightly with a slightly more intemperate evening, curated by the inimitable Zbigniew Karkowski, known for his complex compositions, as well as for his activity in the underground noise scene here in Japan. Joined by Goverment Alpha, Christophe Charles, Tetsuo Furudate, S20-Hiroaki Umeda and an array of fine visual artists, it will be a penetrating challenge to the senses that promises both depth and intensity. In other news, once again hosted by Kenji Kariu, Okamotarow will land in Kouenji's Muryoku Muzenji for its 7th installment on Sunday April 8th. The FDF, back from their Kansai Tour, will kick off the event. Also in Kouenji, free improv/drone unit Tetragrammaton will play Penguin House on the 12th, which promises to hold a few surprises, thanks to the appearance of 0.03, a new group featuring Keiko Higuchi on voice and drum machine, Mori-shige on cello, and Yukie Sato on tabletop guitar. Chaos from Kanto and Korea to Kouenji. february 2007 newsTruly, we are slow with updates, but life is irregular, and there are always unforeseen circumstances. Take, for instance, the convenience store that is closing on the first floor of my building. Luxurious perhaps, but imagine the joy in scrambling down the stairs to find a much-needed 90-minute tape cassette in the throes of a late-night recording session. OK, maybe that's me, but it's sad - the nights are lonelier indeed. Digression aside, there is so much to be thankful for. How about the sweet and tangled groopies? Two wondergirls on laptops shiningly screaming their throats out? Or (e)BOMBERS? A circuit-bent cacophonous ensemble determined to restructure children toys forever? The braided and interwoven works of Shantell Martin? The astronomical Coppe'? Pigtailed and beautiful, passing Egyptian melodies from Mars (a wonderful telephone game, if you've ever tried it). On the 13th of this month at Test Tone these singular artists perform their works for you, minus the financial rigamarole. That's right, it's free, but support the artists, buy their CDs and the venue, buy their drinks. Test Tone next month has been decided, by the way, but will remain a hermetic affair for the moment. We will release the name of the guest artist a couple of days before the gig. Stay tuned. |
