“Where the Mandrakes Grow” is conceptualized around autoerotic asphyxiation, forming an abstract narrative into a singular autoerotic experience. A singular moment in flux within the body. The sound compositions consist of consciousness cut ups – flashes of memory and anomalies of the moment interweaving. Dark drone and experimental ambience. Mastered by the legendary Robert Rich. Beautiful 6-panal digi-CD designed by Anastasia Sarandou limited to 1,000 copies. Truly a great work of Dark Ambience. 64 minutes.

Released on: Autumn Wind Productions. $11 usd.

her final breath.

From the label: Time has come for a fresh collaborative album, released by No Angels Prod. and Beast Of Prey. We would like to present a unique opus, which appears as a co-operation of Inner Vision Laboratory (Poland) and Roto Visage (USA) projects, symbolically entitled “Cinema Stain”. Here, the listener is forced to wale in pathological and “impure” visualizations of human pain, fears and suffering, which are surprisingly seducing with subtle beauty. Some of the soundforms are painted heavily with a brush of rhythm while others flow like the spools of film spinning through a mechanical projector. The aim of both of the composers was to write an original soundtrack to a non-existent horror film – the result is excellent, and by taking vocal samples from other movies, they created also an auditory record of tension and melancholic darkness. For layout of this release, we used modified photographs from the very talented photographer – Karolina Kosowicz.

Packaging is non-typical: professionally printed and professionally duplicated CDR with additional graphical insert are placed in a plastic box (slim dvd box type). Inserts and covers are professionally printed on gloss paper. Edition is limited to 200 hand numbered copies.

What have they done to your children?

Starting with disc #4, each release in the Circle multi-artist series includes a highly collectable limited edition 3″ cd housed in a letterpressed cardboard sleeve hand-printed by Matt Borghi. All Circle releases contain one 20 minute track from an artist focusing on ambient and minimal electronic music. Each issue will be made available in an edition of 50 numbered copies. Once they are sold out, no more will be re-printed.

Roto Visage has become Kikapu’s resident dark ambient master, crafting dense soundscapes from a variety of audio sources and musical drones. ‘Solange,’ his intensely engaging submission for Kikapu’s Circle series, takes his approach for composition and turns it on it’s head, challenging the listener to keep up with the flurry of ideas and sounds rushing through one’s psyche. This massive work feels as if you get a peek into Roto Visage’s mind, but he has control of the dials and you’re forced to come along for the ride. This piece is a massive achievement and a very worthy addition to Kikapu’s Circle series.

Demon of lust.

Volume X of Bone Structure’s Pseudomonarchia Daemonium series! Limited to 50 copies in an A5 sleeve. Intense, dramatic, utterly dark and decadent, this new opus by Roto Visage is, according to the artist himself, one of his best work to date. The listener slowly drowns in a wet and contaminating nightmare. Taste this new exciting soundtrack of pain and pleasure indivisible.

Tracklist:
1. Belial: Demon of Lust

The stench of immortality.

This split release features three tracks each from Polish project Atum and American project Roto Visage, with the six tracks totalling forty minutes of playing time. The unifying theme of Syndrom Cotarda is Cotard’s syndrome, a mental disorder first described by French neurologist Jules Cotard in 1880. Sufferers from Cotard’s syndrome, also known as ‘negation delirium’, believe that they no longer exist, and that they have lost everything – possessions, form, identity, even life itself.

Special handmade packaging with cover printed on cardboard. All together composed of two separate telescopic pieces, the first piece is a printed wrapper of sorts. Numbered by hand in a limited release of 200 copies. 

Released on: Beast of Prey

Sold out from Beast of Prey. A few copies remain at various distros who stock BOP releases. Check the link section or contact Roto Visage for further details.
