Mensa

There are at least two acts with this name. i) Mensa project was born on the spring 2006 when I was studying in Sweden. the project started to have a concrete form after a few months working with the software. The plan was to develop a personal perspective about sound experimentation. The project was conceived with the aim to be showed outdoors. All the sounds that I process are thinked to be listened outside, in public spaces or natural environments.

His work, spanning five decades, encompasses a variety of musical styles. Fripp began playing guitar at the age of eleven. He says he was tone-deaf with no sense of rhythm when he started.

Black To Comm

Black To Comm is an alias for Dekorder label owner Marc Richter's audio excursions. Richter creates his music using scratchy shellac and vinyl records, field recordings, a so called "kitchen gamelan," and more traditional instruments like organs, guitars, pianos and mbiras. The layering and hypnotic repetition of short loops from Psychedelia, Free Jazz, Vaudeville, and various other old recordings reveals alternative melodic dimensions not apparent in the source material.
