![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | Siblings - Litter EP [nt108] - Siblings
Pop songs about changing the cat litter & paying the rent? Cutting edge disco/hip-hop beats set to a formidably sketchy sensibility? Sophisticated songwriting that’s got nothing against honest straight talk? Well, all this & more can be heard on Siblings’ debut EP, which we present today with a suitably wide smile. Siblings is the reunion of David Turgeon (Camp) & the one & only Kaia Wong (Mixel Pixel, The Eastern Stars)...

| Tangtype - Flake Out [nt103] - Tangtype
A world of contrast is what awaits those who will heed the sound of Brussels based duo Tangtype, the happy meeting of Julie Cambier's fragile yet expressive voice with Jean-François Brohee’s savant electronic tweakings. On the menu: all manners of weaving, colliding, mingling and shredding. A debut mini-album that's at once fragmented and warm, and most of all full of charm. And another addition to this decreasingly marginal genre which we’ll call "acousmatic pop"...

| Repetition/Distract - Peripheral Geometries [nt109] - Repetition/Distract
Here at No Type, we like ambiences most when they have personality. And personality is something Felix, the man behind Repetition/Distract, certainly doesn’t lack. Inbetween impressions of quiet architectures, massive landscapes & drony seas, there are percussive hints at a human presence. This music is in dark grey hues but it’s also warm & enveloping. And with enough twists & turns to keep you on the edge...

| 833-45 - Passages [nt106] - Kevin M Krebs
Each new album by Kevin M Krebs is a source of auditory bliss the like of which is all too rare. Whether under his given name or as 833-45, he just keeps offering us new sonic landscapes which are as formidable as they are unheard of. With Passages, we are happy to present you five brand new pieces which borrow as much from the subtle science of waves as from the elemental forces of nature, closing on a heartfelt homage to Morton Feldman...

With The Sunny Blount Project, recorded live on December 14, 2001, Érick D'Orion (from the duo morceaux_de_machines) delivers electronic compositions based uniquely on samples from the music of Sun Ra (born Herman Poole "Sunny" Blount). Since his beginnings within the Napalm Jazz collective, D'Orion was always inspired by the inventive and manful music of Sun Ra and the 7 tracks present multiple interpretations of the Sun Ra "sound", touching on other afro-futuristic references...

James Schidlowsky collected all the sounds and noises of this sonic journey in the Montreal subway system. Since Providence is the name given previously to the monitoring and security hub of the undergound transportation system, this sound ecology project can be interpreted as an reflexion on its structure, or even a quest for its true meaning - a search for its symbolic 'heart'. The fundamental essence of this quest is explained in great details here...

Also included is Osaka Commtech Five, of which a different version appears on his later No Type CD, Podweek [imnt0205], not to mention an unbelievable "orchestral" version of Shibuya!
