Mysterious project. Previous release on the excellent EXBX label. This release is a trip into the recesses of the mind through a meditative soup of vocal chants.

New release from the mind behind Together Tapes. A blast of loops all competing but never resulting in total clarity.

SOUND HOLES #024 = GHETTO FINGER - JULY 2008 C21

Private sounds from this duo based in Kansas. Been at it for 8 years, all they got was a ring. This cassette was recorded whilst living in Michigan and is another amazing example of the Michigan Underground Basement Sound. Broken instruments collide with analogue waves of tones. Probably something in the water...

Edition of 36

Fourth in the out(er) of space series. Slow drift from the ever prolific Sky Limo. Awesome drones fill the emptying space as a massive black hole chills everything. The sounds begin to have a life of their own turning into a creeping mass. A warning never listened to.

SOUND HOLES #021 = UUHUU - ORGANFIGURES FOR FLYNT C20

An amazing release from Marcel Türkowsky. The 2 sides of this tape could describe the remnants of an ancient race. Slowly decaying leaving behind only memories and the delicate ruins of their time. The sound of bells carresses your memories as the undertones begin to pull you back into a time drenched in the past. The bells will ring forever...

Edition of 72

SOUND HOLES #020 = ONEOHTRIX POINT NEVER - HOLLYR C20

Third in the out(er) of space series. OPN delivers a view into the future, a city scape buzzing with unusual patterns, unusual language and unusual feeling.

Ex pat JC blew a gaping hole in the Glass House (RIP) earlier this year when he turned up. This release is a continuation of the set he played that night.

Edition of 64

SOUND HOLES #014 = PAX TITANIA / FAMILY BATTLE SNAKE C40

2 sides of analogue synth to get you in the vibe for staying in. PAX TITANIA is becoming a force in modern progressive synth music, using a vast array of homemade synths / modules / <><><> the 4 cycles presented here are truly mesmerising. FAMILY BATTLE SNAKE breaks from his usual drone mastery and using only analogue synths and feedback creates a side so full of sound it shimmers, total energy moving forward.

Edition of 99 SOLD OUT

SOUND HOLES #013 = ABYSS WHISPERS - THE EYE C20

New recordings straight from the Glass House. New direction. Synth patterns/loops interlaced with fragments of damaged keyboards. Retaining that "full on drenched sound".
