Like all of Joe's mixtapes, there is a broad and multi-layered range of music and sound from around the world, from contemporary releases stretching back to the 1940's and something from every decade in-between - including imagined collaborations such as Burial with vocals from Argentinian folk legend Mercedes Sosa, or Linton Kwesi Johnson reciting poetry over Tipper's immaculately-produced beats.

There is also a wealth of sound design and spoken word, taken from interviews with composers, radio programmes (many recorded by Joe), and poetry recitals.

Hidden Orchestra - Archipelago Remixes Mixtape Part 2

iNsCissorS returns with its fourth full length release "The Circus of
Ichneumons", delving deeper into the cinematic themes hinted from previous works. Within the four acts of the album, expansive melodies ranging from baroque to ethereal and avant-garde create the soundtrack for a film or a theatrical play, that aches to be realized.

Vincent Andelmoth is the director of this dream act, AimA Lichtblau the main narrator and the rest of the cast is full of special guests, including Maciej "Dragos" Mehring from Bisclaveret, Evor Ameisie, Michiel Spape from H.E.R.R. and Annamaria Bernadette Christian.
This imaginary travelling company introduces to us the life cycle of the ichneumons. The mysterious members of this circus satirize the pestilence of man over nature and its similarities with the parasitic insect. Parasites can be found amongst all species.

Release date: 25.03.2014
Packaged in a ecopak, limited to 300 copies.
This is a collaborative release of Beast of Prey and Zoharum.

iNsCissorS traces its origins back in 1999 when formed by Vincent Andelmoth. Merging musical genres such as experimental, dark ambient, ritual, industrial structures or neo-classical passages is a part of iNsCissorS' concept in order to create a cinematographic atmosphere and feeling, thus the term “Cinematic Ambient” derived.
