> Compiled from 3 years worth of recordings, from live
> sets to mastered tracks, our new compilation
> ?Praeface? stands as a guide to where Praemedia has
> been and where, as a new label, it is going. 
> 
> Tracing various intersections of genres from
> improvisational jazz to plunderphonic electronics to
> field recordings, diverse splinters and fragmented
> roots sprout off into calm matrixes of sound.  From
> Japan (Haco) through New York (The Gold Sparkle
> Band)
> to Italy (Mou, Lips!), the sounds merge in San
> Francisco. Pioneers of networked computer music (Tim
> Perkis) mix with modern masters (Wobbly), alongside
> unheard musicians and odd collaborations. Avant-jazz
> damaged blues sparks drum and bass roots to forage
> in
> an electrostatic world. 
> 
> For all the monstrous mutations and shattered
> boundaries, the effect is soothing tranquility.
> Music
> for the ears. Precious gifts of sound open up in
> small
> fragments across the landscape of the disc,
> referencing comfortable moments of the familiar and
> merging them with a childlike fascination for the
> new.
