    <description>A fabulous duo recording by Aaron Dugan and Jeff Arnal, two of New York
    City&#8217;s finest improvisors. Dugan (also of Matisyahu) sows seeds of discord with some
    rough-hewn guitar madness while Arnal drives them into the ground with deft but heavy kit work.
    This duo has fantastic chemistry and delivers a high-energy performance.</description>

    <description>A re-release of two of Monahan&#8217;s best-known early works: Piano Mechanics
    (First Prize at the 1984 CBC National Competition for Young Composers), and Speaker Swinging
    (his universally acclaimed, manually-operated sound installation). Both of these remastered
    pieces are awe-inspiring sound experimentations, possessing a visceral quality that is often
    lacking in more straight-forward tonal experiments. These are beautiful and moving pieces of
    new music. This disc is the first of three releases dedicated to Gordon Monahan&#8217;s
    compositions &#8212; with upcoming Grasslands and New and Used Furniture Music.</description>

    <description>Gordon Monahan conjures up the prairies of Saskatchewan with an impressive series

    &#8216;Theremin Pendulum&#8217; begins an auditory odyssey that takes us across a soundscape
    both harsh and delicate. A sense of openness infects these pieces, as Monahan shows us once
    again that he is a master of spacing and pacing.</description>

    <description>This release is Jesse Stewart&#8217;s first solo album, and demonstrates his
    phenomenal skills as a percussionist over an assortment of unconventional found objects.
    Stewart has long been regarded as one of the leading percussionists in Canada, and this disc
    makes clear the fact that his ability is by no means restricted to conventional
    instrumentation. The CD consists of nine tracks, three using water, three using metal, and
    three using stone. This disc makes for an invigorating listen, yet also contains many subtle
    layers and timbral changes. Try it alone with headphones, or with your friends!</description>

    <description>C3R is proud to release the new album by one of the most comely members of the
    Acid Mothers Temple extended family of projects. For years now, Tsurubami has been producing
    some of the most colourful cosmic improv ever heard by anyone anywhere (and we are sure of
    this, because we know exactly what any given person is listening to at any given time, thanks
    to the &#8216;C3R Omniscience Mechanism&#8217;, or &#8216;C3ROM&#8217;). This album is no
    exception to Tsurubami&#8217;s intensely spiritual improv tradition &#8212; it contains three
    tracks of swirling psych, featuring Kawabata Makoto&#8217;s trademark guitar, the pounding
    rhythms of Emi Nobuko, and Higashi Hiroshi&#8217;s combined synth and bass talents. With this
    album, these three formidable musicians have come one step closer to answering the question
    that drives the band: &#8216;through the holy sound of Ohm, can we glimpse the eternal, escape
    the constraints of time (past, present, and future), and come to meet the
    Buddha?&#8217;</description>
