Molded and refined throughout 2007 and 2008, Nadir Emergence is the first official CD and second full-length of Oscillating Innards; a document of the recurring and parallel themes of artistic/romantic failure and the forces of insignificance and degradation. Encompassing and hybridizing elements of electroacoustic harsh noise, deliberate tonal studies, atmospheric drone collage and severe power electronics, Nadir Emergence is a dense and breathing environment of evocative sound and lyrics, steeped in continually growing and failing tones, recurring and degrading melody, and vehement sentiment.

This is deeply personal music of smoldering roots and crumbling achievement; the secret infidelity and defeat of timbre.

Co-released by Iatrogenesis and Troniks in an edition of 1000. CD packaged in jewel case with 4 panel booklet.

Troniks and Icefactory Productions are very proud to present Cinema Noise, a DVD collection of videos by GX Jupitter-Larsen.

Cinema Noise collects 25+ years of GX's videos onto one DVD. Though his sound works and performances as The Haters make up the bulk of his reputation, his work in video is little known, and unjustly so. His method of making videos parallels his process of sound and visual art; process becomes as important as outcome, skating the uncomfortable line of making and doing. The videos themselves span a number of materials: Umatic SP, Hi-8 and DV, color and black and white.

The videos available on this DVD contain documentation of a few of GX's performances, however, the bulk of the material is narrative (!). Included are bikers debating thought probabilities, lesbian vampires, skiers digging holes and counting grains of sand, a spy having an irrational vision and more. Despite the diversity in content, the videos are all suffused with the essential pleasures of eroding, grinding and breaking down of things that were once whole, which extends also to the soundtracks. Watching these videos is the cerebral equivalent of dividing by zero, and excessive exposure may be harmful to one's reality testing.

Cinder block snakes pummeling through intricately woven nests, kneading maliciously at the middle, trying relentlessly & desperately to break through. A silver haired piper tries calling his snakes back home, stretches his vocal chords deep & wide but only whispers trickle out. They move too fast for him to catch. He closes his eyes tightly and follows them out & away, admiring their persistance & brilliant navigation with an envious heart. Their scales push outward and gash the softness open leaving shards and soggy ash in a twisting tail behind them. You can hear meat tearing in waves of coarse & uneven static, swelling & expanding as if they carve a new base, a fresh home. They bury their coiled bodies deep inside, knotting tails & heads into electric branches, you can hear the branches spitting up electricity and the way their fire crackles first and thunders immediately after. He circles the landscape like a madman trying to find the slithering escape artists that have left him behind. Their buzzing rattles growing larger & larger serve as his compass & guide. He picks up and fondles the skin they shed & tease him with. He can hear them digging, getting further & further inside, spilling wildfire in the folds & flesh. The end is here and the sounds they make reflect it, a blister covered whistling tone thins itself into nothing & disappears. They are lost and so is he...

A re-issue CD of quite possibly the most crumbled and crushed out harsh noise release to date. Originally released in Italy by Old Europa Café in 1995, “Low-Fi Power Carnage” was an excellent example of imported noise from the Italian harsh noise master Gabriele Giuliani. At a time when the cassette format was king and Japanese noise was sometimes too high range and polished causing Americanoise to crush the genre with acts such as Skin Crime and Macronympha, Dead Body Love was also around to deliver the most crusted and rumbling of the contemporary harsh noise acts. “Low-Fi Power Carnage” is an amazing document of raw and crunched harsh noise range and focus as it pummels over its four different tracks; each their own monster in strategy and manipulation. Giuliani has an uncanny ability to investigate movement within the rock bed of sound, sometimes picking apart the tones and sources with deconstruction techniques that range from ‘static drone’ to the brutal and abrasive. Thus, this release has something for every harsh head as it covers numerous areas of violence, abstraction, and even an occasional heavy driving, throbbing force that brings to mind early ‘Industrial’ (i.e. Broken Flag). I am honoured to be able to help with this re-issue as I can safely say it is my favourite noise release of all time and was the defining release that made me finally decide to make harsh noise the primary focus of my life. Painstakingly re-mastered to CD to duplicate the original cassette experience right down to the tension-filled extended breaks between the tracks. To celebrate this release, each CD comes with an 11” x 17” glossy offset printed and folded DEAD BODY LOVE poster to hang on your wall. - Sam McKinlay

DEVILLOCK: It's all in stop motion. It's all real. Up, out from under all places molded and GUNKED. Slithering spool tapes sliding like thin brown snakes under, amongst, and finally overtop and around. They overtake the crumbling corpsed-up organ grinder. He, with his grin full of rot and fingers of stank, is ever so pleased to allow the decayed magnetics to engulf his skeletal frame, it is how his power is attained (maintained). Only when wrapped tightly and over his entire torso and head (a tape mummy!) will he begin to play. Quietly at first, as if from a distance - but he is there, RIGHT THERE GODDAMIT - and then the groan and the moaning howl and the static insects all begin to draw near, an orchestra of loneliness. Can you still feel your legs? As your head is slowly filled with ants, you are posed a question: "What do you make?" he is asking. "What do you make... of THESE GRAVES?"

DEVILLOCK is Justin Chris Meyers on organ, tapes, and electronics. Justin also runs the record and tape label Tone Filth and has other additional musical projects including Panther Skull. Matthew St. Germain (Freedom From record label) plays bass on the first track of These Graves. Mastered by Pete Swanson (D Yellow Swans). Packaged in a two color cd wallet, coreleased with SNSE.

Xeaxx Xeaxx are NOT punk avante-garde men of the night they are the funk version of vanna whites hard boyfriend, who is also a knight.

I have never met her but i'm sure she is a delightful girl & if she makes John happy then that is good enough for me. Congratulations John! Can i be the best man?

The Great Silence is probably the BEST recording I have ever heard from Lasse. It was recorded in Jørgen Træen's (professional) studio, and it's produced by Golden Serenades (Træen + John Hegre)... While Lasse himself has said that the disc is "as primitive as it gets", I wouldn't really agree... What it is, is a devastatingly PURE display of the finest kind of harsh noise, and yet another in the long line of records showing Marhaug's incredible feeling for vital and living noise. Highest recommendation for this one... fucking ESSENTIAL! -- Tommy Carlsson (Treriksröset / Segerhuva)
