_______________________________________________________________________ Artist：shotahirama Title：Unhappy American Lost in Tokyo Cat. No.：RE-CD-005R Format: 5"CDR Tokyo based sound artist,
shotahirama's latest album "Unhappy American Lost in Tokyo", is inspired by the
idea of a person with dual nationality and multiple citizenship. It is an
attempt to explore the themes of their loneliness, alienation, insomnia,
existential ennui, and culture shock against the backdrop of a modern Japanese
cityscape. Sounds move across a broad range of spheres from electronic based
composition, through to evocative field recordings that seek to reveal those
sound spaces largely ignored or inaudible. Capturing sounds as delicate as sand
grains in motion, shota uses laptop computers to makes multilayered compositions
that blend synthesized melody and conventional musical instruments with harsh,
irregular glitch-influenced sounds and washes of white noise. shota also used
field-recording materials (taken by shota himself) to create concrete noise for
dynamic sounds of drone. File under: Electronica, Field Recordings, Soundscape TRACKLISTING: Artist：Sin:Ned Title：Dark Side Of The Chord VII Cat. No.：RE-CD-002R Format: 5"CDR Deeply influenced by the Tokyo Psychedelic Underground, Hong Kong experimentalist Sin:Ned created a never-ending and eternally self-referencing world of noise and extreme frequency. The two solo improvisations on modified Omnichord unleashed the full darkness hidden inside the bent circuitry of the instruments. A complex structure of razor sharp power lines running through an endless maze of psychedelic trans-configuration. Free and abstract. Forceful yet intricate. A brutal journey about the poetic of lost soul and dead spirit. Biography: An idiosyncratic writer and a sonic artist from Hong Kong, who hacks and twists anything he can put his hands on. Used to be one of the major contributing writers of the legendary Hong Kong alternative music magazine MCB. While not writing as a pseudo-music critic elaborating his esoteric worldview, in the same idiosyncratic fashion, he spends much of his time hacking and sculpting sonic materials with his laptop and various electronic gears. His interest ranges widely from improvisation, sound art, experimental music, and noise art to field recordings, and had taken part and performed in various festivals and exhibitions such as HK Sound and Vision Festival (2003), Get It Louder (2007), Hong Kong & Shenzhen Biennale of Urbanism/Architecture (2008). His first two solo works, "Uroborus: A Study On No-input Device" and "60 Seconds: A Schizophrenic Manual for Eternity", were both released by Lona Records in 2006. He is also one half of the electro-acoustic concept duo No One Pulse File under: Circuit Bending, Noise, Improvisation, Psychedelia TRACKLISTING: Audio Samples:

Title：E Cat. No.：RE-CD-001R Format: 5"CDR In this
second full length album from the Hong Kong electro-acoustic duo, the
micro-noise improvisation journey continues. With two long live improvisation
cuts and two short studio recordings, E is the place where micro-sound meets
noise electronics. If the last album, LINGK (Locd44r), is a revelation of the
quantum mechanical sonic world, E is a bold venture in testing the boundary of
such sub-atomic territory. TRACKLISTING: Audio Samples:

Title：Going Home (Or Not) Cat. No.：RE-ON-002R Format: 5"CDR An academic audio work from the award winning phonograph artist Anson Mak (ex-AMK). In this new CD, she brings to us not only result of her long time research on the endangered sound and community of Kwun Tong (a district soon to be destroyed by the Hong Kong government's urban renewal program), but also a very personal story. Almost like a mini research. Only difference is that, this one is filled with personal significance. Biography: Anson Mak is a film, video and sound artist. After graduated from School of Communication at Hong Kong Baptist University in 1991, she worked in TV stations for some time and immediately realized mainstream TV was not a place for her. She first developed her career as an art administrator, working for Urban Service Department, CrossOver Cultural Institute, Hong Kong Arts Centre in its Film/Video Dept. and IFVA (Hong Kong Independent Short Film and Video Awards). At the same time, she continued writing, making music and film/video works in the 90's. She then resumed studies at Dept. of Comparative Literature at University of Hong Kong for an M.Phil, and started part-time teaching in NGOs -- Hong Kong Arts Centre, General Education Unit at Hong Kong University. She later worked as a web site producer and right before the dotcom bomb, she joined School of Creative Media at City University of Hong Kong in 2000. She left to USA in 2004 with an Asian Cultural Council fellowship and continued to explore film/video art in more focus directions -- experimental ethnography, digital communities, and novelty of the medium of super 8 film in the digital era. While experimenting further in moving images and web-based platforms, she was inspired by phonography, sound art of field recording and can't go without it ever since. At present, she is doing a Doctor of Fine Art programme at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University. Right before joining AVA, she taught in Dept. of Cultural for the 3 Master of Arts programmes. Since 1999, She was an invited examiner of Hong Kong Arts Development Council. Also, she was a band member of AMK and active in the indie music scene in the 90's. File under: Field recordings, Sound art TRACKLISTING： Audio Samples: http://re-records.com/discography/re-on-002r/
