Das label schreibt: "Music performed and shaped collectively by Les Certitudes:
Juliette Adam (clarinet), Félicie Bazelaire (cello) and Léo Dupleix (harpsichord).
Score composed by Léo Dupleix.
The ensemble Les Certitudes was created in 2021 as a means for developing acoustic music focusing on justly tuned tones and harmonies, taking as a starting point the physicality of the instruments –resonating wood and metal– in a long musical form. ..."

Das label schreibt; "La fin des pseudonymes is a jam session of all shapes and sizes. Nothing is predetermined, except for the start tempo. With each invocation, new pieces arise, stumbling and sounding, biding their time. Audiences are summoned to these uncertain - yet meticulous - elaborations, to witness the melodic and the percussive constantly argue, in search of new paths to tread. The result is storylike and abstract. Sometimes it soars. Sometimes it dances. But it is always psychedelic.

Das label schreibt: "Based in Stockholm and active on the international scenes for alternative musics since 2009, keyboardist Alex Zethson is incessantly bringing a certain presence, coarseness and grace to each musical context he’s involved with.

Das label schreibt: "Olaf Rupp plays Improvised Music on the acoustic and electric guitar. The organic flow of his music is guided neither by chance nor by dominant, willful decisions. To him the same level of focus and attentive energy should be present in loud and fast music as well as in softer, more subdued kind of playing. In all his music he explores how motion-clusters can be perceived as one agglomerated sound in motion by using spectralistic fields of tones.

Das label schreibt: "MX-80 Sound is an eclectic American art-rock band founded in 1974 in Bloomington, USA, by guitarist Bruce Anderson. Considered one of the most out of step but prescient bands of its time, MX-80's signature sound consists of breakneck metallic guitar combined with atonal chord structure, cross-rhythmic percussion and dispassionate vocals.

Das label schreibt: "The promise has for a very long time been that machines will free us from idle labor. They are to take the drudgery away from us so that we can turn our attention to the beautiful, pleasant and sublime things. And music machines have long carried with them the promise that they would enable everyone to make music. Any music that can be conceived and dreamed should be able to be sounded. But neither are people working less today, nor has the fascination with true virtuosity disappeared.

Das label schreibt: "Gaining prominence during the 1980s home recording movement, Randy Greif has built a devoted following over the years for his unorthodox compositional style. On his early tapes, industrial and dark ambient textures are melded with cinematic song structure more akin to the most wildly experimental of post-punk acts. “Golden Joy Club”, first released as a cassette in 1986, is a well-known highlight of this era.
