Akifumi Nakajima, best known as Aube, passed away on  September 25, 2013.  He was a long time regular contact in Japan throughout the life of Anomalous Records.  We sent large amounts of cassettes, records and CDs to each other across the pacific.  In 2004 I visited Japan for the first time.  I spent 8 days in Kyoto.  Nakajima-san was generous with his time taking me to temples, shrines, record stores, restaurants, and other sites.  He helped arranged with Parallax Records/Para Disc for me to play live in a basement venue alongside Eric Cordier, Meta-Physical Pekining, and Masaru Okami.  I played a 45 minute set with only a Moog ring modulator and control processor.  For the second half, Akifumi joined me on his own very portable synthesizer.  This is the complete second half with us playing together.  The live DAT recording was made by Shin'ichiro Tanaka (Meta-Physical Pekining).  This recording was sent to Damion Romero to possibly be edited down for his 3" CDR series on P-tapes.  Damion thought the piece shouldn't be edited and instead wanted to use a recording of me in collaboration with Withdrawal Method (which has yet to be released).  So this posting is the first time this live recording has been made available.
The photograph of the two of us was taken by Takuya Sakaguchi earlier that week.

Soundtrack for "Obon"

An excerpt from the forthcoming CD on Anomalous Records.

Matt Shoemaker was a talented electronic musician and visual artist who sadly passed away in 2017.  As a memorial tribute to him, Anomalous Records has been brought back to release this archival recording of Matt in collaboration with Eric Lanzillotta.  This duet was recorded live at Matt's apartment and consists of one hour and fourteen minutes of reverberant cosmic music created with Moog synthesizer and other electronics.  The sounds are abstract and beatless, easily dissolving time in an atmosphere thick with tape echo.  Influenced by early electronic music and German Kosmische Musik (such as Kluster, Klaus Schulze, Popol Vuh, Conrad Schnitzler and early Tangerine Dream), this should appeal to fans of inner exploration.  Pressed in a limited edition of 200 copies and packaged in a cardboard wallet.
