The composer Toshi Ichiyanagi is, needless to say, also a pianist. We have collected recordings of his performances demonstrating his superb skills and ability. "Music for Piano No. 8," on which he is accompanied by Sumihisa Arima, a frequent collaborator, on electronic devices, is particularly noteworthy. His cool-headed improvisation in the gallery reminds us of David Tudor, with whom he shares a deep resonance as a pianist. A rare recording of Sylvano Bussotti's "Five Piano Pieces for David Tudor," which was written specifically for Tudor, has also been recovered!

A collaboration between Director Andrew Keogh, Steve Stapleton & Nurse With Wound. Mismantler grew out of animated visuals for a live Nurse With Wound show. The main character ‘The Mismantler’ is taken from a collage by Stapleton. The film is a stream of consciousness exquisite corpse, an attempt to fill a bin bag until brimming with all the worst things on planet earth; our home. A film for billionaires who aspire to being trillionaires, the millionaires who aspire to being billionaires, the wealthy aspiring to be millionaires. For those who other, those who control narratives; those who blame the poor. For those who would debase everything to an economic exchange. Those people who can no longer look humans and creatures in the eye.

The first ever survey of the seminal British experimental music collective, Gentle Fire, Explorations (1970 - 1973) offers a remarkable and previously unavailable glimpse of their activities during the early 1970s, spanning their crucial interpretations of scores by Stockhausen, Brown, Cage, Ichiyanagi, and Wolff, as well as an incredible deep dive into their own works and "Group Compositions". Unapparelled and historically important work, stretching across the length of 3 CDs, from Paradigm Discs, meticulously culled from Hugh Davies' archive, it's among the most important missing links within the history of British experimental music to have emerged in living memory, and not to be missed.
