| L'orchestre de granulation - L'orchestre de granulation [nt086] - L'orchestre de granulation
L'orchestre de granulation was a longtime dream project of A_dontigny. After many failed attempts due to lack of funding or of an appropriate venue, L'orchestre de granulation finally took the stage on October 18, 2003 for a unique performance at the Rien à voir (14) concert series. The result? A surprisingly coherent 32 minutes composition, featuring seven daredevil improvisers using granular synthesis processing...

| Erick D'Orion - The Sunny Blount Project [nt085]
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...

| Alexis Bellavance, Nicolas Bernier, Érick d'Orion - Il Buono Il Brutto Il Cattivo: Études [nt112] - Alexis Bellavance, Nicolas Bernier, Érick d'Orion
The universes of Alexis Bellavance, Nicolas Bernier & Érick d'Orion are all radically different from one another: one exhibits a conceptual slant, the second is prone to work meticulously, & the third is known for his high-energy strokes. What happens when destiny forces these three to work together? Maybe what we get is this improvised, unpredictable exchange, which for this reason bears a subtle affinity to that famous Sergio Leone film.....

| Anaesthesia - Organic Phase Smear [nt028] - Anaesthesia
This full length release from Kaia Wong, Eric Keebler & friends marks the return of No Type to its lo-fi improv roots. Through 12 fairly twisted & largely unexplainable tracks, the listener will go from string-laden ambient chamber orchestras (Exodus, Part 3) to full-on flanged whacked vocal noise (Constrictor, Diatribe).

| Ejaculation Death Rattle - Room 304 [nt107] - Ejaculation Death Rattle
Here’s the debut album from a Vancouver-based group called Ejaculation Death Rattle (or EDR as they are known to spam filters), made up of three boys & one girl, producing a remarkable strain of improvised ambient noise. EDR champion a resolutely primitivist aesthetic, with their murky drones, old school guitars (& similarly-schooled guitar pedals) & assorted digital debris, all of this without turning into a mere all-out sonic assault (though, well, anyway…) Yet another free-folk band, then...

| L'île de béton - Couche de matériau insectoïde [nt029] - L'île de béton
L'île de béton is the duo of David Turgeon (Camp, Period Three) & A_dontigny (Napalm Jazz, Morceaux_de_machines), alternately playing a Casio keyboard & an old turntable. As is to be expected, this improvised meeting, captured on tape on one drunken day is as hectic as can be. Not to be compared with anything the two protagonists have done elsewhere.

| Philémon - Potlatch W [nt030] - Philémon
Done as a "potlatch" type exchange with a friend, Alexandre Warren, these four harsh tracks from Philémon (Napalm Jazz) make for a demanding listening. Heavy, cathartic white noise & assorted poisoned candy.

| Anaesthesia - Anaesthesia [nt6004] - Anaesthesia
One of the first No Type releases & also, hands down, our most popular release ever with over 20,000 downloads so far! This 5-track album goes from the seriously epic space age ambient improv of Part 1 & Part 2 to the baffling Hammerhead screamadelia of Futility. * For full artwork and information please visit the official album page on notype.com.

| Asyncdrone - Demolition Blues [nt104] - Asyncdrone
Seven years ago, Asyncdrone (David Turgeon et Kaia Wong, here joined by Napalm Jazz saxophonist Philémon) went in studio to record the follow-up to insurpassable lo-fi slop fest We Who Are Distant. But the contrast couldn’t be bigger: a clean cut production, solid improv, and very different themes from the Asyncdrone we knew. This uncanny result had the effect of them not publishing the recording immediately...
