  Artist/Title: April in the Orange - IN THE MIRROR UNDER THE MOON 8 Format: CASS Label: cae-sur-a (USA) Price: $6 Catalog ID: CarbonDist_caesura_cv015 In the Mirror Under the Moon is a carefully sequenced collection of Aril in the Orange's earliest recordings, dating from the prelapsarian dystopia of 2007 and early 2008. Each song is a butterfly-blue weave of melody rolling through a changing sky of strum and solo, overtone Casio and cut-up piano - chromatically rich and vaguely alien annotations on AitO's translation from murky tongues of sky-dreaming, solo bedroom madness into bright dialogues of humane collaboration. The aesthetic of the amorphous at its most shimmering. - Flavius Dionysius Pro printed, hand numbered edition of 100

  Artist/Title: Argumentix - nightmarcher 5 Format: CASS Label: Below PDX (USA) Price: $6 Catalog ID: CarbonDist_BELOWPDX08 "Life in the Pre-Apocalypse brings Argumentix time of leisure to reflect on the immediate. The newest album joins pain and sorrow knuckle scraping on cement floors. A smashed throat spurting grunts, moans and crooning thorns against tape loop manipulations, sequencer configurations, and urban field recordings. A departure from previous albums with focused anger and reluctance to acknowledge the future. Existential crisis has never felt so optimistic. Cover art by Shoosha screenprinted by Nick Bittakis on wallpaper samples of various colors and paterns."

Recalling images from childhood days in the Bavarian woods, these Madeleines taste like cold sweat; dark, romantic and surreal elegies for a past never experienced, only imagined. Some call it “Hauntology”, we call it Bavarian Gothic. Schatten & Lichter provides ten sonic stillborn changelings at midnight, preserved and presented here on tape." -Holger Adam, Phantom Limbo Hand numbered edition of 100. C-31

  Artist/Title: Black Chalk - s/t 8 Format: CASS Label: cae-sur-a (USA) Price: $6 Catalog ID: CarbonDist_caesura_cv021 BLACK CHALK is the collaborative project between Ray Hare (Fossils from the Sun, Century Plants), Eric Hardiman (Rambutan, Century Plants) and Cory E. Card (Stone Baby). Established in the summer of 2009 and originally intended to be a one off performance at the UAG Gallery in Albany, New York, but due to the success of that performance the three decided to continue working together long distance. The premise of BLACK CHALK is for the performers to limit their sonic pallet to the use of vocals, effects and microphones. Contained on this tape are the results of their exploration: three of the tracks were constructed and mixed throughout the Fall of 2009 and into 2010, and the final two works are excerpts from the live performance. The results are a mix of dynamic, pulsating rhythmic loops, eerie feedback and ghostly voices. Pro printed, hand numbered edition of 100.

  Artist/Title: [n.] - ein klagelied für 3f 6 Format: CASS Label: cae-sur-a (USA) Price: $6 Catalog ID: CarbonDist_caesura_007 „Sprechen Sie deutsch?“ – Despite the fact that Jen Marquart is quite a fluent speaker, Ein Klagelied für 3f is mostly a non-verbal electro-acoustic affair. Even though Jen’s voice is barely audible on these recordings, the music speaks to you in the most intimate way.

In short: an immersive experience to affect your body & soul! -Holger Adam, Phantom Limbo Hand numbered edition of 100
