Transmitted from a satellite outside the sphere of human consciousness, directly into your skull, we present Internet Albemuth. What was once a weekly internet radio show almost 15 years ago is now an offering of auricular oddities that have been strewn forth on our planet. We dig and rip and transmit from our safe haven in the comet's tail and you receive, and obey.
Internet Albemuth is kindly brought to you via satellite by Auricular Records
September 5, 1990Kaleidoscope Records (aka Auricular Records)San Francisco, CA
In 1990, Masami Akita and Reiko A. graced the United States with a tour of performances of their singularly unique noise. For many this was the first chance to see Merzbow live and the first chance to be engulfed in the absolute ocean of sound that is a Merzbow performance. There is no Merzbow recording ever produced that can even come close to what the live experience is. Listening back to the live performances on recordings can not even capture the pure sonic ether that Masami and Reiko were capable of producing in most any environment. During their stop in Nortehrn California, Merzbow performed on several radio stations, in a Santa Cruz warehouse space, and a multi night stint at the Armpit Gallery in San Francisco with Haters and Big City Orchestra (those shows will be forthcoming). This particular recording comes from Kaeleidoscope Records in San Francisco. Masami and Reiko performed approximately 30 mins as a preview to what could be expected at the upcoming local shows.
Daevid Allen: Spoken Word Live at Auricular Records - Aug 1, 1991 San Francisco, CA
There is no one quite like Daevid Allen (Gong, Soft Machine, Magick Brother etc etc) and there is certainly nothing like spending an afternoon, or evening, with the man. He is one of those people of an indescribably personality - a king amongst pixies and a pixie amongst men. When Daevid came through San Francisco in 1991, I not only got to meet a life long hero of prog rock and possibilities, I was lucky enough to spend a lot of time with him; at live shows, in the studio recording and of course in our record store, Auricular Records. I played chauffer to Daevid and Magick Brother for about 2 weeks and it is a time I will not soon forget. While he was in town I had to have him do an instore - unfortunately, we could not coordinate a performance of Magick Brother - although I snuck Mark Robson away from Daevid long enough to perform with Nux Vomica. Daevid showed up in the store with his friend Tom the Poet and armed with just a single microphone kept a store full of us entertained with his wit, glee, songs and stories for an entire afternoon. This recording is a small portion of the antics of the day caught on tape. enjoy Daevid Allen live at Auricular Records
Giligadi - Fissures in the Faithful
A reissue/remaster of the 1992 release. Giligadi's ultimate goal is to "map, capture, and present emotions in a sonic form; the destruction of platitudes; the pursuit of truth, such as it is." With a broad range of styles and genres covered this release holds as a beautiful exploration of the modern soul wherein 1992 still echoes to the current day as poignant, involved and wildly varied emotional states.
Auricular Audio Magazine #14

Noisepsalm - sOma causatum
Noisepsalm has collaborated with brethren in the field (Rhedcerulean, Marshall Pierce, Cursed Chimera & Alan Herrick) resulting in a release which is somewhat of a missing link between 80's Coil albums and a really good, unreleased, missing, rare Psychic TV album.
Andrez Bergen - Eat Tatoo Dead Tiger
Andrez nicks the deconstructive tendencies of post-modernism in jaded new ways, and casts a sardonic eye on the industrial music splice 'n' dice ideology of Cabaret Voltaire in the '70s - all the time stimulated by Marcel Duchamp's display of a toilet urinal back in 1917
Instagon - Deamon Rock
The legendary Instagon's latest release - recorded in the legendary Studio A at KDVS Radio in Davis, CA on September 8, 2007. Self-classified as "garage jazz"
