Live Sets

The 1990s were a fascinating moment for music and new idioms of experimental music began to bubble in the underground. While often belonging to highly localized scenes and thus overlooked by a broad listenership in the moment, many of these gestures have proven to be profoundly important and influential and have left an indelible mark on the musical landscapes that have followed in their wake. Particularly notable among others C.C.C.C.'s first album ,Cosmic Coincidence Control Center, that sprang from Japanese noise scene, during what can be considered the "golden age of noise".
The Japanese noise act C.C.C.C. was formed in 1989 by Hiroshi Hasegawa and Japanese bondage film star Mayuko Hino and was active until 1998. On their first work , recorded at Telecom Studio in Higashi-Nakano, Tokyo on 1991 and released by Hasegawa’s own label Endorphine Factory  in CD format on 1992, there are four members; each playing a different instrument, to create their own unique sound.  Hiroshi Hasegawa  and Fumio Kosakai on electronics and synths, Ryuichi Nagakubo on bass and Mayuko Hino on vocals and metal percussion working together make for a diverse project that goes a way beyond the standard "electronic roar" that most noise artists rely on. The result is a startlingly visionary body of sound that stretches across this vinyl reissue, gathering intricate, noise ambiances and captured sonic fragments, deftly manipulated and infiltrated by electronic pulses and various other interventions, toward an immersive and cohesive sonic environment, that drowns the ear in sheets of detail. Bordering on an ecstatic sonic assault of the highest order, the work’s movements range from incredible arrangements of electronic noise and tonality to a stunning effort of synth, all constructed with an incredible sense of immediacy and physicality, making the album easily one of the most noteworthy and incredible recordings from C.C.C.C.
With Hidenobu Kaneda’s pictures from the photo session used for the original CD artwork  and Akifumi Nakajima's original notes on layout, Urashima created the perfect replica of the original artwork for the vinyl version; while the audio for vinyl master was taken from the original DAT audio and shared on a 12 inch and a 7 inch in a limited edition in just 299 copies. Some exclusive inserts and posters complete the reissue of this absolute gem from the vaults of '90s noise music and certainly  one of the most beautiful noise records any of us is likely to encounter all year: bristles with energy, physicality, and immediacy, representing a highwater mark from one of the most important noise collectives of the last 30 years. It isn't to be missed, and is bound to fly off the shelves.

I see the crack in your eyes                                                              
The blur inside your head                                                             
Just an empty shell                                                                 
Floating around like a lifeless vest
                                                   
I feel you turn to stone                                                               
Relentless and forlorn                                                                    
Into the darkened skies                                                                        
That feed upon your life

Strict Tempo 06.09.2022 (Dance As Therapy)

I felt so happy
I got lost in the life
I even let it take me
I never said goodbye

This is the last time
We never said goodbye

I just want to sink down
And close my eyes
When it gets cold at night
Press your hips to mine

I could stay with you
For the rest of my life
I'm out of my mind
I know I'm not mine

Where do you end?
Where do I begin?
This is the last time
I'll never love again

I felt so happy
I got lost in the lie
As far as I can see
I'm blinded by the light

When it gets cold at night
Press your lips to mine

I could stay 
For the rest of my life
But I gave you mine

Where do you end?
Where do I begin?
This is the last time
I'll never love again

This is the last dime 

We never said goodbye

Anchor and Adjust is the debut album from, Australian synth-pop duo Syzygy; Rebecca Maher and Gus Kenny both formerly of beloved Melbourne synth-punk band Spotting. This new project explores a more unadulterated electronic aesthetic combined with an unabashed pop sensibility.

“Gus was listening to a lot of 80s synth music and minimal wave, while Bec was deep into mainstream 80s pop divas and new wave.”

The resultant album sits at a crossroads of genre. The melodies of new wave pop meet the synth tones of 80’s coldwave, the vocal dynamics of post-punk and the DIY ethos and raw edges of punk. Layered synths twist and weave. Featuring celestial, emotive vocals, the album is often bright and upbeat, danceable, but also moody, thoughtful and clever. It is  sparkling and edgy electronic pop.

The album’s lyrics explore the power dynamics in relationships, including the relationship with yourself. It is about control and being controlled. Attempts to unravel years of ingrained behaviour and decision making to try and see the world another way. It yearns for clarity, asking questions and searching for definitions to try to understand what is perception, what is manipulation and what is truth. 

“I was speaking to myself, through myself. Both aware of having these feelings and disconnected from how they were making me feel. Making this record allowed me to create order and meaning. It was both my wake up call and my pep talk for changes I desperately needed in my life.”  Rebecca Maher

Syzygy - Anchor And Adjust - 04 Social Fence

In search of the roots of vibrations - those that have not been found on earth.

As sound-sculptors , we connect to the surreal matrix and perceive glimpses of truth.

Even from a distance, we feel its dimension, we imagine its infinite forms and textures.

Each discovery sounds like an unexpected adventure.
