new CRCD 129  Caress of My Fist  "Etudes in Violence" (CDR) $8 - free acoustic duo set by prolific violinist Michael Khoury and Sax/flutist Fred Bergman, supplemented by rotating third member on various tracks, Curtis Glatter (percussion) or Chris Riggs (guitar). Eight abstract tracks with just enough rhythm and tonality present to give us something to hold on for this wild ride.

'kirchenkampf' "Dark Planet" (Download-only) - this is a space travelogue starting with the sound of the ship as the crew slumbers. It moves to feelings of homesickness as the crew realizes just how far away home is. They finally arrive at the planet and experience a magnificent eclipse. Finally they land on the planet and explore its often frightening landscape. The moon rises and bathes the planet with reflected light. Now they sit and wait for the first sunrise.

CRCD 124  Fred Lonberg-Holm/Brekekekexkoaxkoax (CDR) $8 - eighth in the split series of  disks we have the feedback acoustic sounds of Fred Lonberg-Holm a longtime artist in the avantgard of sound making. Here he uses his cello as a vibration source for his feedback sounds. There is the sense that Fred really listened to what he was doing rather than just letting the instrument squeal away in abandon. Brekekekexkoaxkoax takes a more acoustic path using various instruments in a playful free form expression.

CRCD 123  Embracing the Glass/Haslam (CDR) $8 - seventh in the split series we have two artists who take the ambient minimalist route. EtG's use of guitar, electronics and wordless vocals give us a dreamy mental landscape that encourages a relaxed state of mind - a bit sad and a bit creepy at times, it won't put you to sleep, but it won't bang you on the head either -  Haslam's work follows in the same steps as EtG but is all electronic - the difference is in the sustained sense of awe and foreboding - his work is much darker in tone - limited to 100 copies.
