The Spring 2010 Collection

EMA 034: DAMAGED CATHOLIC - HEAD CONTUSION
The next in the Damaged Catholic experiments finds the Ann Arbor duo looping and exploring passages from the Dead Sea Scrolls into never ending blurs, Alvin Lucier style.

EMA 035: WARM SILENCE - DISTANT SCRATCHES
Transmissions from the Motor City. More manipulated field recordings from the city everyone in the world seems to be obsessed with.

EMA 036: HI PITCH DEREK - ACTORS XII-XXIII
The last of the initial actors sessions come to light here as our favorite Californian squelches his way to the upper registers of human hearing. New bonus: melodies!

EMA 037: LIFTED INC - UNDERWHELMED UNDERFED
Debut recording from this UK duo. Think of your favorite Mazzy Star or Fennesz tune. Then think of something else involving your favorite whiskey and this is probably what you’d get.

As always, things are in limited quantities. Order now before it all disappears. Thank you for your continued support.

The Winter 2010 Collection

EMA 033: BILL VAN LOO- THE GHOST OF AN IDEA
We’re pleased to offer forth a 3″ mini-cd from our long time co-conspirator/photographer muse, Ypsilanti’s Bill Van Loo. 4 dreamy winter time tracks for guitar. After the initial email list offering, there are very limited quantities left!

EMA 031: TREMAINE/CARSON/THEAKSTON: LIVE EDITION 1
Live performance from April 2009. Extremely limited edition.

EMA 029: DAMAGED CATHOLIC - SINGLE PHASE CHANGE
Brutally harsh lo-fi exploration of fractal noise, loops and exploration into religion. Debut recording for this A2 duo. For the most open minded of noise addicts only.

EMA 030: ROB THEAKSTON - CONDITION
Recorded on 2009 Autumn tour. Lightly scraped digital dust over a bed of resonant chords and holes.


For further inquiry on any of these releases, do not hesitate to drop us a line. Thanks for your continued support.

Hello. It’s new release time.

EMA 024: Todd Osborn - Components 2
Ypsilanti’s Todd Osborn returns with another amazing suite of solo piano compositions. This one is ideal for headphones in autumn.

EMA 025: Isurium Brigantum - Isurium Brigantum I
The debut recording from this guitar duo. Inspired by the history and cities of North Yorkshire, England. Drones for Joan’s Bones, indeed.

EMA 023/EMA 026: Yield - Parts 1 and 2
A double 3in-CDr recording of washes, loops and disintegrating sounds bringing private joy.  Originally a private release for customers. Extremely limited quantity of each now available. 

Summer is upon us and we’d like to announce our next two releases:

EMA 21: Hi Pitch Derek - Interruption
The 22 people who purchased his first EP will be pleased to know this second EP is another helping of what this young critter does best: make quiet, high pitch, piercing noises.  We’re aiming to sell 25 copies of this to help boost his self-esteem.

EMA 22: Warm Silence - Variables
For the daring people who took advantage of the free download, we offer up a full length recording of Warm Silence’s latest work. Once again capturing the daring tundra of Ferndale, MI. Warm Silence is taking it to the streets with a vengeance, a field recorder and a special delay patch on a laptop.  While supplies last!

As always you can purchase these directly from us. Later this summer, look out for the release of CD Player Virgins, a new joint by Rob Theakston, possibly some stuff from Off The Sky, maybe something from Walter Carson. Who knows?

Happy Spring.  Soon we shall be turning one year old.

Out now:

EMA 13 - Warm Silence - EP
EMA 14 - American Miyake
EMA 15 - American Miyake II (EP)
EMA 17 - Hi Pitch Derek : Actor I-VII (EP)

Out Soon:

We are honored to present a release by Todd Osborn.

Components is a suite of instrumental piano compositions stylistically different from one another, yet distinctly uniform as a whole body of work. It’s another chapter in the versatile genius of Osborn’s truly original, truly distinctive creative spirit and body of work.
