From Musique Machine:
Procer Veneficus – Saltwater & Glassmoon
Procer Veneficus Ghost Voices was one of my highlights of 2006 with it’s re-birth of black metal in ghostly and ambient tinged form, Saltwater and GlassMoon finds the project striped of guitar and vocals going completly ambient- yet still feeling somehow linked to black metal’s melancholy, hopeless and decayed grandeur side.Borbetomagus – Sauter,Dietrich,Miller,Doherty
After been rather taken (and fried) by the relatively recent reissue of Live in Allentown Borbetomagus searing live album from 86. I was most egger to hear some more of their noise/jazz/ improv sound mix & This is their debut album from 1980 reissued in 95 and through it’s not as wall like and noisy in its sound as Allentown it’s still very rewarding in its own often searing and atmospheric way.Norwegian Noise Orchestra – Live At Oyafestivalen
As the projects title suggest this really is an orchestra with in all 22 people involved in the chaos with-in & Through it stays in the noise genre fairly squarely for it’s running time there are improv, electro acoustic & junk band elements at play too.Sekkutsu Jean & Kawabata Makoto – Self Titled

Jazz Chronicles profiles guitarist Halvorson.
I’ve been enjoying what I’ve heard from 28-year-old guitarist Mary Halvorson – primarily in the context of Anthony Braxton’s bands – and I’m excited to be digging into her new CD, Dragon’s Head, on Firehouse 12 Records. A native of Brookline, Massachusetts, she admits to being a Hendrix fanatic in eighth grade (I knew there was a reason I liked her, although our eighth grade obsessions were a few decades apart) and she studied with fellow Bostonian Joe Morris, with whom she shares a love for a flat, dry amplified tone. But, in addition to Hendrix and Morris, Dragon’s Head subtly references Dolphy and Monk, as well as more obvious nods to Blood Ulmer, Derek Bailey and Sonny Sharrock.
