Rusted Rainbow—Machine Translations of Texts
Machine Translation of Texts—the by-product of two people of two nations. Aaron Hemphill (of Liars) along with Francesco Calandrino (of Oper'azione Nafta) together combine both mind, body, and machine to create what is at once a pure organism of life while simultaneously exposing itself as an autopsy of deconstructed banter. Their experimental industrial musing stretch across more than just the Atlantic as they explore the deep ocean that is the mind.
Ben Miller Degeneration—Live Performances & Radio Broadcasts
Ben Miller is no stranger to the world of outreaching and experimental music, as can been from his art-rock roots in Destroy All Monsters to his rich studies of tonal expression in The Push-Pull Quartet and The Sensorium Saxophone Orchestra. This collection of rare live performances and radio broadcasts captures Ben's use of multi-phonic guitar with treatment during the last decade.
At once atmospheric, the sounds and timbre manipulations that Ben is able to create can quickly twist and turn into shards of jagged fury. These recordings resonant with the history created by Keith Rowe, John Cage, and Glen Branca; fused together with his own virtuosity and touch.
Das Alte Haus
Consisting of Mario Rechtern (saxophone), Bernhard Fasching (drums) and Dave Schmidt (bass), these three Austrian gentlemen take the genre of psychedelic, free jazz freak-out to another level of outer (and inner) space. Like their spiritual brethren, Owl Sounds Exploding Galaxy or ZU, these three take the jam beyond conventionality, exploding with fuzzed bass, sledgehammer heavy drums, and soul scorching saxophone.
“Jazz based improvisation has seeped into outsider rock for decades, but lately that combination seems to be re-surging in the American underground. One leading light in this bubbling culture is New York label Tiger Asylum." —WIRE
“Mr. Schranz has unearthed a lot of choice free-improv splatter. So, clearly there's some thick spice in the underground water reserves up in NY lately, and Tigerasylum is admirably swimming in it."—NOISEWEEK
“The cd-r facilitates excesses of all kinds, but it also makes it possible to document micro- scenes once invisible to the radar of the media. This is the case with Tigerasylum Records (www.tigerasylum.com) guided out of NYC by Jordon Schranz, giving a home to experimental musicians working between the genres of free jazz and noise in the neighborhoods of Williamsburg and Bushwick in Brooklyn." —RUMORE
“the lo-fi/lo-budget ethos of something like Tiger Asylum records... goes beyond just marketing and into craftsmanship; why shouldn't musicians care about that side of things?" —EARTRIP MAGAZINE
“The use of jazz-based improvisation in the rock underground is nothing new. But lately it seems to be bubbling up at a particularly high rate. The Eastern Seaboard (and) Violence Jazz are just a few of the groups churning out homemade free-improv (and hand-made releases) on promising labels like ...Tiger Asylum."—PITCHFORK
