here tis thee info which was included with thee track:

"the title of this work is: VENI LUCIFER

the chant says: veni Lucifer et emitte caelitus lucis tuae radium

it's Latin text, and it is an evident détournement of the catholic chant known as "veni sancte spiritus"

I think that the line "send forth from the sky the radiance of your light " fits better to Lucifer, the "Light Bringer", than to a white pigeon ; )

I created this track from just only one audio-file: the recorded voice of kalamun while he was chanting that line.

I just used that audio source for this piece and absolutely no other sound.

beAst regards

deviLs g."

Exotoendo - Endorcism Process & Push Kara

Exotoendo was thee astonishing ritual ambient projekt ov French artist Cyril Herry [Ashes To Ashes, Lecanora, Ninth Desert, Salamandre, Sechres Mound, The Uncanny].. rather than describing thee brilliant sonorism which he creates for these releases; shall share excerpts from thee texts contained within them to offer a window into thee concepts upon which thee sonorism reflects..

-from Endorcism Process:

"to know the white
to preserve the black
and doing so to be the world's norm"

Lao Tseu (Tao Te King)

"The perfect negative principle (Yin) is grace fully passive.
The perfect postive principle {Yang) is powerfully active.
One comes from heaven, the other one comes from earth.
The osmosis between both creates this harmony
out of which every thing is produced:

Tchouang Tseu (Aphorismes)

-from Push Kara:

"The inspiration of Push Kara (intermediate states) comes from the Bardo Thodol, a famous Tibetan Buddhism text. The music which results is neither a retranscription nor an interpretation, but a reflection of a certain reality - the essence expressed in the Bardo Thodol. Passage through these intermediate states is considered to be a harmful experience for Tibetans, comparable to the crossing of mountains, chasms, deserts, and waters.."

THE HATERS-silent shovels smashing sut-(c46 Noise-Taiwan,1994)


Do The Haters need a presentation on this blog??? Founded in 1979 this is mainly the musical project of GX Jupitter Larsen; The Haters have been around for a long time, playing live gigs(and smashing venues), making lots of recordings and collaborations all over the world. This tape was released in 1994 by the Taiwanese label called simply NOISE. It came out with a bilingual booklet (included here). About the music: this is simply and beautifully great noise industrial at his best!

Do you need some earplugs?

No track listing.

HERMIT-Vomit can be found in jars(Carpe Diem label-Canada-1995-c30)


here you will find 3 songs of strange noise improvisation by this Canadian project Hermit whom we have covered earlier in thee blog. Hermit is the solo project of Eric Boros who was also of Third World Planet, and who is nowdays involved in the duo Vialka [the last project of which is still touring all over the world,especially Europe] You might want to visit their webpage here, and if you do: you will realize how many projects Eric is still running… this tape consists of experimental bass/guitar/effects and crazy vocals with sometimes more crazy lyrics… I enjoy this one. A short tape full of surprises…

Track listing:

a01-mangled to perfection
b01-old man dementia
b02-quest for nolling

ASHES TO ASHES-museum of dust-1994-Incese-France



This is a symphonic dronish tape from French artist Cyril Herry [Lecanora, Ninth Desert, Exotoendo, Salamandre, Sechres Mound, The Uncanny]. There are 5 different tracks listed in the cover sleeve, but the music itself is just one long song; so I decided to not cut it, but leave it as one 21 minute flow of piano/organ symphonic goth-like stuff with noises of pouring water and some vocals. The cover sleeve is in part made of wall paper and has a very nice small picture on the front: quite a nice cover infact. This cassette was recorded in Lausanne(Switzerland in 1994. I included the picture of the cover and the infos enclosed in the sleeve.

Track listing:

A1 Imperturbable Stiches Of Time
A2 The Diverted Device
A3 The Great Theatre Of Decrepitude
A4 The Long Experience
A5 Damage Melody / The Last Elegy
