	KOVAC, BORIS: Ritual Nova 2. (vinyl) Code:PE01 Price: £12.34 Quantity in Basket: none
A rich and folk tempo-ed work built from ethnic and electronic sounds and instruments. Layered and always at root folkloristic harmonic constructions with an extraordinary sense of pace and inner dynamic.THIS IS A VINYL RELEASE

	KRAABEL, CAROLINE and HARGREAVES, PHIL: Where we were - shadows of Liverpool Code:CDLR407 Price: £14.69 Quantity in Basket: none
Made over four years in an anechoic chamber and mostly the streets, greenhouses, bars, , tunnels, libraries and halls of Liverpool by the over-modest (imported) national treasure Caroline Kraabel (sax, voice) and bat-eared Phil Hargreaves (saxes, flute, voice), this is that rare thing - a recording that captures a mutual musicality in the context of -indeed inseparable from - real places and real times. It's hard to explain why this works so well - why should the acoustic and ambience of a site so transform the musical material? Perhaps because psychoacoustically our ears are designed to assess and picture place from the minute shifts in reverberation and tone that open location recordings provide. Studio recordings as a rule go out of their way to eliminate all this 'unwanted' data and wind up flat, or at least fake like a painting: perspective is still not space. Here is space.
	KRAABEL, CAROLINE, SUSAN ALCORN and ANNIE LEWANDOWSKI: Giving Out/In the Garden City (dbl CD) Code:MassProducersCD02 Price: £18.00 Quantity in Basket: none
Two CDs, two duos. Caroline features on both and the label is hers too. For lovers of the very small and unforceful, these CDs are both assured and enigmatic. And it's always a pleasure to hear Susan Alcorn.
	KRAABEL, CAROLINE: The Mass Producers Code:dbc228 Price: £14.69 Quantity in Basket: none
"Performances for large saxophone ensemble". A large and imaginative ensemble of 20 female saxophonists co-ordinated by Caroline that explores everything you can do with massed saxophones, hocketing, amorphous chords, drones, melody, tight organisation, pure sound, singing and figure-ground constructions.
	KRAABEL,CAROLINE: Now We are One Two Code:dbc207 Price: £14.69 Quantity in Basket: none
Caroline is a Saxophonist and Performance Artist and this is a remarkable solo album. Palpably personal and present - using extended techniques, no technique, atmospheric noise, strangled cries, fragments of dialogue, suspense - this removes itself from the normal and conventionally musical to arrive at a kind of invocation of performance; I mean, of what is it to be alone in front of an audience and invent. And the cover, extraordinary...
	KRAKATOA: We are the rowboats Code:Rune168 Price: £14.69 Quantity in Basket: none
Rock with violins, some odd meters, some singing.
	KRALDJURSANSTALTEN: Kraldjursastalten Code:MEGA020 Price: £14.69 Quantity in Basket: none
The legendary swedish reptile asylums, comprising telepathic twins Stefan and Thomas Agaton (Guitar, Bass) with the prodigious Michael Maksymenko (Drums). Nobody has yet got closer to the lurching swing complexity of the old magic band, I mean thinking like not imitating.
	KRCEK, JAROSLAV: Raab (vinyl) Code:RR23 Price: £14.10 Quantity in Basket: none
Prizewinner of the Concours Internationale De L'Opera et Ballet, Geneva 1971. This is a concrete opera, or 'psychodramatic representation', of the fall of Jericho. Characters don't sing; there is instead expressive speaking in invented tongues with Musique Concrete interludes. Made over 13 months (450 hours) at the Electronic Music Studio, Prague and then put on ice. We waited 5 years to get it. Book with full notes, texts and background material.THIS IS A VINYL RELEASE
	KRIWET, FERDINAND: Hortexte (3 Picture LPs, Book, Box) Code:RZ9003/9004/9005 Price: £51.70 Quantity in Basket: none
This very substantial box contains six radio works on three LPs, each with an exquisite and intricate text-art design taking up an entire side (there are no labels). The designs are directly associated with the LP content and explained in the booklet. They are exquisite. The set comes in a sturdy box along with an explanatory booklet. The six horspiel are taken from a series made for the most part between 1969 and 1975 - there is one later work from 1983. All this radio is about radio. All the sounds are sourced from radio broadcasts around the world, and explore single events or topics. The first. 'Apollo Amerika', is about the1969 space mission; the second, 'Campaign', treats the 1973 US election; the third and fourth 'Radioball' and 'Ball' ( mostly in German - the rest are mainly in English) celebrate radio football (the purely visual as the purely aural); the fifth 'Voice of America' speaks for itself; and the last, 'Radio' tunes into radio in general. These are all excellent and quite unique productions and work on many levels; few other horspiel are so purely plunderphonic. These are artworks in every sense, and highly recommended. The price takes into account heavy costs of shipping. includes postage cost
	KRZISNIK, BORUT : Stories from Magatrea Code:BK1 Price: £14.69 Quantity in Basket: none
Extraordinary and already out of print item (some will remember our Borut's ReR Points East LP). Huge Orchestra composition with unbelievable monster sound. Great Music. Serious imagination ! A remarkable achievement. Very Limited Quantity - first come...
	KRZISNIK, BORUT: Currents of Time (vinyl) Code:PE06 Price: £12.34 Quantity in Basket: none
Beautifully recorded CLOCKS and CLOUDS music; intricate and intelligent. Instrumental pieces, verging on the modern, but with wilder, more abstract, sections. Extremely listenable and stimulating work.THIS IS A VINYL RELEASE
	KUBISCH, CHRISTINA : Two and Two Code:amperekubitsch2+2 Price: £14.98 Quantity in Basket: none
Fluctuating drones
	KUBISCH, CHRISTINA: 24 Pictures at an Exhibition Code:OBCD13 Price: £14.69 Quantity in Basket: none
26 minutes, three tracks. Work done for an installation at the Ysad Art Museum in Sweden, 2005. Multiple voices in Swedish, from orchestrated restaurant noise and human geese to a single ictus. Careful, as always and balletic: voices on points.
	KUBISCH, CHRISTINA: Armonica Code:semi006 Price: £14.69 Quantity in Basket: none
Long chords produced by the glass harmonica - invented by Ben Franklin in 1763 and seldom heard today, although music was written for it, notably by Mozart - consisting essentially of nested glass bowls mounted on a rotating spindle, played with a moistened finger. These are rich, deep, complex drones, sounds that hang in space.
	KUBISCH, CHRISTINA: Diapson Code:SEMI002 Price: £14.69 Quantity in Basket: none
From a sound and light installation in the Parochial Kirche, Berlin, the sounds are derived from fifteen tuning forks (originally used for medical purposes). Complex, crystalline tones and overtones, irregular dynamics and rhythmic movements. Nicely documented with colour photographs.
	KUBISCH, CHRISTINA: Five Electrical Walks Code:IMPREC167 Price: £14.69 Quantity in Basket: none
In recent years Christina has organised a number of Electrical walks in various cities around the world. The walker is supplied with customised wireless headphones which pick up and make audible the electromagnetic fields generated by light systems, radar, surveillance and alarm systems, neon, public transport networks, cellphones, the internet, ATM machines, Wi-fi - and so on: a sea of normally inaudible data through which we constantly wade, oblivious to its restless chatter. The walker also has a street map with a suggested route and listening points. The CD is a composite in 5 parts of several such walks in Birmingham, Chicago, Teipei, Paris, Bremen, Riga, Tokyo, Madrid, London, New York and Berlin, each concentrating on particular kinds of sounds or environments. A vast range of pulses, roars, hums, buzzes, thin siren tones and rich chords creating rhythms, drones and shifting colours. These are the soundscapes we never hear. But here they are.
	KUBISCH, CHRISTINA: Klangraumlichtzeit Code:Klangraumlichtzeit Price: £25.85 Quantity in Basket: none
One of the essential Kehrer Soundart series.134 pp shortened A4 size hardback with a CD. A comprehensive document of Christina's work between 1980-2000, with facing texts in German and English and many pictures (mostly in colour). Kubisch is one of the first generation of German sound artists and this excellent art book is a good introduction to her work. ADD £4 postage Europe, £7 rest of world - sorry: weight
	KUBISCH, CHRISTINA: Licht Himmel Code:kubischLicht Price: £14.69 Quantity in Basket: none
Taken from a permanent 14-channel sound and light installation occupying the giant Oberhausen Gasometer, this stereo remix makes excellent listening on its own. Especially in darkness. The sonic materials employed include the now rarely heard Trautonium, glass harmonica, Tibetan metal bowls, double bass, field recordings, synthesiser, voice, tuning forks, glass gong and a glass cornet. Each sound speaks for itself and has a life of its own. This is a special form that requires special listening, or perhaps not listening but allowing the environment around you to be transfigured by sound.
	KUBISCH, CHRISTINA: Night Flights Code:IMPREC168 Price: £14.69 Quantity in Basket: none
Originally released on vinyl in 1987in Milan, this CD is a welcome record of Christina's earlier work (1983-6) and of her grounding in composition and formal music. Two are electroacaoustic, combining pure electronics with musique concrete techniques and exotic instruments (seashell trumpet, eagle bone and crystal glass bowls) alongside field recordings and an early drum synthesiser. Careful and with a fine sense of sonorities, these are airy, open pieces.
	KUBISCH, CHRISTINA: On Air Code:KubishAir Price: £16.45 Quantity in Basket: none
Elaborately packaged with an almost transparent CD (not sure how they achieved that) containing 7 audio tracks, one interactive track (Mac & PC) and an MPG movie. Christina Kubisch is one of the names that always comes up when SoundArt is the topic of conversation. - so these CDs don't contain 'music', that is to say, melodic, rhythmic or linear structure (though I would say they are a lot more musical than much of today's sonic release menu) so much as invoking atmospheres formed of te complex overlappings and interweavings of tones. The movie is especially welcome since it explains what these sounds are for, how they are encountered in the installation for which they were made, and how they relate to the landscape in which they were intended to be heard. Altogether useful document in particular because it restores some sense of place to work that is always site specific but usually presented in recordings devoid of the context that gives them power.
	KUBISCH, CHRISTINA: Sechs Speigel Code:EDRZ1003 Price: £14.69 Quantity in Basket: none
	KUBISCH, CHRISTINA: Twelve Signals Code:SEMI004 Price: £14.69 Quantity in Basket: none
Exquisitely recorded on-site at an installation in the Matthauskirche, Berlin that used a set of bells found at the disused St. Inglebert mine and using as structuring material the signal codes that informed miners about the status of the mineshaft elevators. Structured bell tones and silences. At one point the church bells sound faintly outside at the same time. Strangely compelling. Complex tones. Nicely documented with colour photographs.
	KUBISCH, CHRISTINA: dreaming of a major third Code:RZ10006 Price: £14.10 Quantity in Basket: none
From an installation at Museum of Contemporary Art in Boston, this piece is a slow mediation of bells (recorded from the long silent Mass MoCA clocktower) that have been pitch shifted and reshaped electronically and respond to information about the intensity and position of the sun in real time. Strangely satisfying and minimal. But bells are like people and their voices do seem to have a biological effect on us, Excellent full documentation, notes and photographs.
	KUBISCH. CHRISTINA - FABRIZIO PLESSI: Tempo Liquido Code:ampere10 Price: £15.57 Quantity in Basket: none
Circular music, rhythmical with riffing pitches, like radio blips and intermittent scrapings. From an installation, excellent booklet and case. Reissue of 1979 legendary Cramps release.
	KUBITSCH, CHRISTINA: Electrical Drawings Code:kubitschDrawing Price: £27.03 Quantity in Basket: none
Hardback art edition. 164pp -60 colour, 40 b/w. In English and German PLUS POSTAGE - waiting on weight... email to check
	KUHN, HANS PETER : S/T Code:hansPeterKuhn Price: £25.85 Quantity in Basket: none
From the great series of Soundart publications. Serious weight means we have to add postage to this - sorry 3.00 UK, 4.50 Europe, 8.5 World. Blame the postal services! That's the cheapest...
	KUPPER, LEO: Electro-Acoustic Code:POGUS21009-2 Price: £14.69 Quantity in Basket: none
6 excellent pieces for santures (Iranian 72 string, moveable fret zither/dulcimer..) microprocessors and electronics, and for guitar/prepared guitar. The other two works are more conventional electroacoustic pieces.
	KURYOKHIN, SERGEI: Divine Madness (4 cds) Code:CDLR813-816 Price: £58.44 Quantity in Basket: none
Released as a memorial tribute. The 5 hours of music covers all periods of his career and includes previously unreleased work, long deleted LPs , supplemented by a 20 page booklet.
	KURYOKHIN, SERGEY: Some combinations of fingers and passion Code:LR179 Price: £14.69 Quantity in Basket: none
The incomparable Sergey, recorded in London, hauls his piano through thickets of sound with deceptive ease. Protean, hopping from one genre to another, scarily free of gloss and bluster, this is direct, sometimes irresponsible music that plays endlessly with form. A long cat and mouse performance with Brubeck's 'Blue Rondo a la Turque' forms the centrepiece; as cavalier with time as the early Dollar Brand.
	KURYOKHIN, SERGEY: The Ways of Freedom Code:GY14 Price: £14.69 Quantity in Basket: none
The legendary release reissued. A lot of vari-speeded pianos and some phenomenal playing.
	KYRIAKIDES, YANNIS: A conspiracy cantata Code:u01 Price: £14.69 Quantity in Basket: none
Thoroughly composed 'electronic cantata' that juxtaposes 2 cryptic sources: short-wave radio spy number transmissions and the utterances of the oracle at Delphi. For Piano, 2 voices and electronics - fascinating work. Also includes hYDAtorison (for loudspeakers with sliding tones mounted inside piano, exiting varying pitches with feldmanesque playing alongside) and tetTIX for drum machines and heavy processing: unnatural sounds of nature as the machines call to one another in an'electronic Eden'. Altogether an impressive body of work.
	Kontrol Csoport: Elo feloetelek Code:kontrolCsport Price: £14.69 Quantity in Basket: none
	L'EFFET VAPEUR: En Concert Code:AMO29 Price: £14.69 Quantity in Basket: none
Large sounding, inventive trio: Drums percussion, various wind instruments and banjo, and samples - excellent players all and inventive. Mostly rhythmic (slightly toward jazz rock) or quasi rhythmic, with the sampler used in very musical and intelligent way - as a member of the playing group, neither hip hop nor abstract carpets, adding virtually to the band (inter alia) Heiner Goebbels, Arvo Part, Derek Bailey, Brian Eno, Gyorgy Ligeti... Altogether this is an interesting and impressive set of pieces, the more so for being live.
	L'ENSEMBLE PIERRE CARTIER: Les Fleurs du Tapis Code:AM043CD Price: £14.69 Quantity in Basket: none
	L'ENSEMBLE RAYE: Ein Fest fur Pu den Baren Code:ENSEMBLERAYE:EinFestfurPudenBaren Price: £17.04 Quantity in Basket: none
A one off item, music for Winnie the Pooh. Very charming and, in essence, an Ensemble Raye record, but wrapped as concept. Digipack, booklet; no catalogue number.
