The Stage As Antiworld

Available in June / July 2024

This 2CD set includes an extended collaboration between The New Blockaders & Grinder-without-Organs.
And two live recordings of anti-theatre premiered at Cafe OTO (London, UK) and Audio Foundation (Auckland, NZ).
The set also includes a link to access a bonus film and extra material.

CD1 features Ein Glücklicherer Zufall: Genau Zu Lang (trans. A Happier Accident: Exactly Too Long), an hour-long part studio / part live collaboration between seminal anti-music stalwarts The New Blockaders, and purveyors of the absurd Grinder-without-Organs.
Ein Glücklicherer Zufall... shows a different side to TNB's trademark obliterating noise offensives with a more collaged, musique concrète approach.

CD2 opens with G-w-O Live at Cafe OTO - "Showcasing a singer who has no voice, musicians who have no instruments, and a bandleader who has no direction."

The set concludes with The Theatrical Panopticon - "A stage play performed in a void infected with accidental somniloquies."

Fans of Noise music will need no introduction to the work of TNB.
Ron Lessard, of legendary US Noise label RRRecords, once stated, "I'd give the nod to TNB as being the first truly devoted Noise artists".
TNB served as a major influence on legendary Noise pioneers such as Merzbow and their influence on the current crop of popular crossover Noise artists such as Wolf Eyes is immeasurable.

Double CD in a 6-panel matt digipak with 8-page booklet featuring TNB and G-w-O artworks.
