Gigante Sound is excited to welcome a new artist to its ranks, Lord Tang!! This is a new solo project of Gigante co-founder Dominic Cramp that is focused on the beats and the notes. There are elements of his namesake, Borful Tang, and various other ventures but this is an entirely new sound. Heavy emphasis on beats as interpreted by Mr. Cramp; pulling from influences such as Demdike Stare, Madlib, King Tubby, Dabrye, This Heat, Basic Channel and on, you will hear it all in Lord Tang! Not out until April 16, expect to see a few promotional nuggets popping up..such as this..a video created by Mr. Cramp for the first track on the new record, Fog!: aNew Borful Tang vinyl out on Stroboscopic Artefacts - March 15, 2012
Borful is extremely excited to be involved in this project alongside fellow sonic pioneers Lucy, Perc and Kevin Gorman! Each artist has two tracks a side on two clear 10" vinyl platters. Packaging is insane! Available now!!  aStream of Vulcanus 68 at KSZU's Day of Noise up in the archive - February 16, 2012
aNew Blanketship preview - February 9, 2012
aContours and Colours is here! -December 18, 2011
Just in time for the holly days, Gigante Sound is proud to present the latest release from Vulcanus 68, Contours and Colours!
 Available now on compact disc and MP3, here in the United States and also in Europe! Full of repeating motifs, layered Melotron melodies, bits of percussion, acoustic instrument treatments, boys choir, blurry droneage and manipulated vinyl and cassettes; this is music left over from an abandoned Russian planetarium spectacular! Where solar flares and milky ways map their way across the domed sphere and large chunks of space crunk crack and explode in silence. This is a whole new Vulcanus... aContours and Colours delay - October 20, 2011
Indeed, sometimes you get what you pay for...or in this case, you don't. Taking advantage of a great sales deal with a here-to-be-unnamed-manufacturer, we are now 16 days on from when we were supposed to receive the new Vulcanus 68 record, Contours and Colours. Apparently, it got sent to "someone else" but that someone remains a mystery and they are reprinting the whole order. It will be here....soon.
aNew Vulcanus 68 mix and preview for upcoming release - September 22, 2011
On October 10, we will be releasing the next offering from Vulcanus 68 entitled Contours and Colours. Forgig a new direction, the duo have left the mouldy basement behind and launched themselves into space, albeit in a mouldy Apollo rocket ship! Here is the title track from the record, Contours and Colours:
To whet your appetite, Jared Blum has put together a mix of sounds that encpasulate where Vulcanus finds themselves these days. Grab it now! aOut NOW - Beaks Plinth and Scott Caligure - Flameout! - July 7, 2011
 Inspired by the 1984 romantic sci- fi classic Starman and it's accompanied soundtrack by Jack Nitzsche, comes a new collaboration between the Bay Area slow -vinylist composer Beaks Plinth (Jared Blum, Blanketship, Vulcanus 68) and San Diego synthesist Scott Caligure. The meeting began when Blum begged Caligure to give up some of his treasured Korg MS 20 four -track tapes for use on a new project. Before long, Blum created a heady blend of slow drifting drones, tape music, electronic interferences and dark vinyl passages with the bubbling, velvety grace and warm subs of Caligure's analogue movements. What Flameout became can be only described as ambient dreamscapes of melodic foundry steeped in the memory of Jeff Bridges' descent on planet earth in 1984. A dark mountainous terrain with a burst of energy from the skies of the unknown. Bridges from Flameout Check out more tracks and links to buy on the Beaks Plinth page aGigante Sound live at Great American Music Hall - May 18! - April 27, 2011
In support of their upcoming release on Kool Arrow Records, The Talking Book, Gigante's Jared Blum and Faith No More bassist Bill Gould with assistance from Dominic Cramp will be co-headlining the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco for Mike Patton and the Australian piano and drum duo Pivixki!

3 new Jared Blum eps available on our micro label Waste Management!
Finally available publicly for the first time! Jared Blum's (Blanketship, Beaks Plinth, Talking Book) secret tape projects and circuit bent electronics EPs!  The first in the series; Maxell, Sony, TDK & ToneMaster is the ultimate in "wall of sound" cracked out tape noise. Fast and furious, disgusting and broken. Sounds like a tape machine yelling at you for 25 minutes. This one WILL blow your speakers out, not responsible for any damage. Fans of Merzbow and Russell Haswell rejoice. http://jaredblum.bandcamp.com/album/maxell-sony-tdk-tonemaster  The next , Kassette Experimente is Blum's tribute to the Electro-Acoustic and Musique Concrete pioneers of years past. 100% analogue goop balls ping ponging around your head. Good for a nice picnic in the park with a loved one, a stinky hunk of cheese and a chilled bottle of Chablis. http://jaredblum.bandcamp.com/album/kassette-experimente  Finally, MicroFace Series 1 is a collection of songs constructed entirely from circuit bent electronics. Only minimal edits and EQing so you hear the whole tangled mess in its full organic glory! For those interested in what the inside of machines sound like when they mistreated. Glitchy and utterly disgusting but yet playful.... http://jaredblum.bandcamp.com/album/microface-series-1 |
