KSV 028 Kenou Boyd Fromberg vs. Der Wolfsburger 32,002Hz Chor - The Silent Din (Abgeklärt Pts. 1-4)
Berlin-based composer Stefan Roigk's three-year-old son, Boyd, takes over KSV HQ for an afternoon of keyboard (and stuffed animal) debasement. Stellar doesn't cut it - this is post-galactic! Contrasted and abetted by the attenuated spokes and seat springs of the Wolfsburger 32,002Hz Chor, recorded during their May 2009 tour of Maschsee, Hannover.
01 Abgeklärt Parts 1-4 (60:37)
Composed and performed by Kenou Boyd Fromberg and Der Wolfsburger 32,002Hz Chor.

Edition of 15.

KSV 029 Silke Arp Bricht: 3. Juni (Rémi Groussin / Michel Henritzi & Junko Junko Hiroshige)
A document of a fateful, fantastical evening. First, video artist Grossin thrummed his way into Silke lore, followed by a cartilaginous collab 'twixt Hijokaidan doyenne Hiroshige and guitarist Henritzi. Lives were either saved, spurned, or spared.
01 Rémi Groussin (12:03)
02 Michel Henritzi & Junko Hiroshige (27:01)
03 Critique (12:41)
04 Version (25:06)

Please don't order any of the above until they've been formally issued, OK?

New from Karl Schmidt Verlag!
Hello Again,
As promised, two new albums arrive today from KSV. Each deserves your undivided attention, but of course, as a monster with an alienating bias, my entreaties should be weighed acccordingly. Decide for yourselves if you can stand another bloody second living in a world of denuded culture. If you're ready to run toward a resolutely opaque zone, we'll be happy to serve you...
Feinkost Lampe: 26. Februar (KSV 018)
Recorded, as might be inferred from the title, at Feinkost Lampe, Hannover, on February 26, 2009. Karl left his digital recorder at home by accident, so he deployed a Sony DSC-S800 camera and captured the bulk of the evening's performances.
RK2 hail from Hannover. Liondialer split their time between London and Berlin.
For this performance, RK2 were: Andreas Brüning (bass), Torsten Heilmann (elektronik), Ruediger Klose (federphon, etc.). The fourth member of the combo, Jan Gieseke (elektronik und percussion), was unable to attend. Liondialer are: Greg Haines and Danny Saul (cello, acoustic guitar, voice, and electronics).
01 26. Februar (37:24)
02 Version (37.24)
Intense, crypto-krank improvisations battle calcified shards of sloughed causality...
File conversion, edit, mix and mastering by Karl Schmidt at HQ, Hannover, April 2009.
Sleeve by Jens Meier.
Edition of 20.
---
Tom Smith & Blue Sabbath Black Fiji - Ich werde nicht nackt sein (KSV 022)
The evening before Tim Lane Seaton arrived in Hannover to begin rehearsals for the Rope Cosmetology tour, I joined forces with Blue Sabbath Black Fiji to improvise a wrathful demiurge capable of winning three falls out of five with Die Kosmokrator...
Digital room recording, Silke Arp Bricht, Hannover, March 24, 2009.
01 Untitled I and II (with Pause) (44:00)
02 Every Third Aversion (11:32)
Charles Lavenac (guitar, voice, electronics)
Janin Benecke (guitar, electronics)
Tom Smith (voice)
Live mix by Olaf Voigt.
Mixed and produced Karl Schmidt at KSV HQ, Hannover, April-May 2009.
Sleeve by Michele Kaufmann.
Edition of 20.
---
Pricing (new):
€ 8.49 within the EU, €10 outside the EU. Postage paid. Add €1 for each additional album.
(Sorry, but glossy double-sided color A4s and postage have become more expensive. I'll try to hold the line on these prices as long as possible...)

Forthcoming on KSV!
Liebe Freunde,
Spring has once again been beaten back here in Hannover. It's a cold, drizzly afternoon, and I feel more like curling up next to the dog than clattering in the kitchen...
Re KSV, one or two of the following may be ready by tomorrow:
KSV 017 Female Reggae Showcase - Kid Traumgekrönt/U-Hölderlin Super-Clash!
KSV 018 Feinkost Lampe: 26 Februar (RK2 vs. Liondialer)
KSV 019 Three Resurrected Drunkards - Begriffsschrift 1999! (2 discs!)
KSV 020 Rope Cosmetology - Spezial: Gedankengefüge (Compound Thought) (2 discs!)
KSV 021 Rope Cosmetology - Diffusion de la rue de la Double Identité (limited-edition, already sold out; a few copies possibly available through Tochnit Aleph distribution)
(Diffusion was created for attendees of Ropecosm's April 11, 2009 performance at Silke Arp Bricht in Hannover. Additionally, Tochnit Aleph recieved five copies of the album, and three of our most avid KSV supporters were mailed the collection, which documented RC's April 3rd debut concert in Paris. It was thus an edition of 18... They're gone, man, gone!)
KSV 022 Tom Smith vs. Blue Sabbath Black Fiji - Ich werde nicht nackt sein
Obsessively check back with us for developments, seen?
Bad news: prices are going to have to be raised a few Euro. Printing and postage costs are killing me.
I will compensate for your discomfort by raising the quality bar ever higher - these next releases are off the virus-spattered meathook...
Bis Bald,
TS

Three Resurrected Drunkards: Performance #2!
Hello Again,
My new duo project with Pit Noack, Three Resurrected Drunkards, recklessly and reverently christened after Nagisa Oshima's 1968 film, will air more of its disagreeable laundry on March 6 at Silke Arp Bricht in Hannover. Sell something and fly over - we have recently minted songs and a wicked speaker array... Pit's playing six tape decks, and I'm singing.
(Poster designed by Claudia Franke, adapted from a sketch by Stefan Roigk. Click above for a larger version of the image...)
