Fixateur Externe – Disco Satan USB (Unsigned)
Here’s another dosage of Hungarian avant-garde experimentations, but this time it comes with a twist. Fixateur Externe are not strangers to these pages, and previously I had a chance to review a couple of their recordings. This material could easily pass as various artist compilation, mainly because this release represents a collection of remixes. Disco…

Abattoir & Satori – Megaloschemos Live CS (Unsigned)
At first, I thought this was a split cassette release, but after a while, I realized it is a live collaboration between Abattoir and Satori. This material is not their first collaboration, and previously they released the album version of Megaloschemos and another collaborative cassette named Aether. Abattoir is a side project of Lorenzo Abattoir,…

Púder & Pormeister Trió / Triste Ensemble / Noisesculptor – Unsigned 3-Way Split Series Volume I (Unsigned)
Here’s another interesting experimental release, which is also one of the latest published by the Unsigned, an avant-garde music label from Budapest, Hungary. Just as the vast portion of their previous releases, Unsigned follow some principles by releasing music on cassettes or compact discs. This time, I am dealing with a split cassette release between…

Robert & Shanyio – Palimpsest CD
This material is probably the latest release by Shanyio, which came out a couple of months ago. Following his previous material Of The Waters / A Apelor, which I covered on these pages before, Palimpsest represents another dosage of acoustic ambient/drone by this Romanian avant-garde artist. However, this time he’s teamed up with Robert Nedelcu,…

Shanyio – Of The Waters / A Apelor CS
Shanyio came a long way from experimental artist to prolific avant-garde composer/multiinstrumentalist. Perhaps this Romanian artist seem like a prolific musician who releases his recordings on a nearly monthly basis, but Shanyio calculates and simultaneously works on several projects at the time. Therefore, it may appear like his albums and collaborations are popping from every…

Fixateur Externe – A Fekete Gong CS (Unsigned / Blastbeat Worship)
Here’s another interesting experimental recording, recently released by Unsigned and Blastbeat Worship. Like many other avant-garde outlets, Fixateur Externe are strangers to these pages, and I previously had a chance to review a couple of their releases. Fixateur Externe is more of a collective than a project, mainly because it gathers various Hungarian experimental artists…

Rovar17 & The Three-Brained Robot – Split CS (Alien Seduction)
Here’s another experimental release worth mentioning that would be such a treat for those who’re not looking out for any particular subgenre of avant-garde music. Both outlets are exploring various experimental genres, so this material appears as diverse and unique as possible. Rovar17 is not a stranger to these pages, and I had a chance…

OLO – Sombre CD (Various Labels)
It’s been a while since I had a chance to stumble upon, listen and review the material of an experimental artist. Unlike the traditional music scene, it seems a lot of experimental artists decided to take a break during 2020 or work on some other projects. The songwriting and recording process usually takes a lot…

Chestnut – Mockingbird (Land Turtle Records)
It’s been a while since we covered a piece of experimental music on our pages. To be completely honest, I am not quite sure what caused that gap between the last review about avant-garde releases and the present state, but I was fortunate enough to stumble upon Chestnut a couple of days ago. Chestnut is…

Goddess Limax Black – BOA LP
Goddess Limax Black is an Austrian quartet that incorporates a broader specter of genres to achieve certain moods and sounds. The group comprises of Dominik Gruber on guitars, Philipp Finster on bass guitar, Peter Holtz on sax, and Jakob Eckerstorfer behind drums. This specific band goes experimental as much as possible, explores all the possibilities…

Convulsif – Extinct CD (Hummus Records)
Convulsif are roaming around the experimental music scene for a while, and their music is hard to define by some simplistic definitions. Each performance comes as a bit of a surprise, considering their strivings to improvise on each live set. The group tends to shock and amaze at the same time with their profoundly aggressive…

Royal Hungarian Noisemakers – Le Roi Est Mort CD (Unsigned Records)
Royal Hungarian Noisemakers emanate from Budapest, Hungary. I was fortunate enough to share the stage with this live act, but also to experience their live performances a couple of times. Whoever experienced their live performance, left with the impression there’s a lot more going on, mainly because of the presence of both analog and digital…
