Terre Thaemlitz: Tranquilizer (30th Anniversary Restored & Expanded Edition 1994-2024 / 30周年記念復元拡張版 1994・2024年)

A double-CD commemorating the thirtieth anniversary of Terre Thaemlitz' first full-length album, Tranquilizer. Originally a single-CD release on the New York imprint Instinct Ambient in 1994, this "Restored & Expanded Edition" is well over two hours long and features previously unreleased bonus tracks, rarities, and perhaps most important of all: the notably missing title track "Tranquilizer" itself. Self-released on Comatonse Recordings with custom packaging hand assembled by Terre herself, the package includes two CDs in an archival vinyl pouch with two double-sided insert cards (100mm x 100mm), phonograph style anti-static inner sleeves, and 4x4 panel poster insert printed on newsprint (472mm x 472mm).

The accompanying album text is available in the Writings section in English and Japanese.
アルバムテキストは「執筆」にて英語と日本語であります。

K-S.H.E: Routes not Roots / ルーツではなくルート (2024 Reissue)

A reissue of the 2006 Japanese first-edition of K-S.H.E's debut album, Routes not Roots / ルーツではなくルート (JP: Comatonse Recordings, C.013.CD). This album was the infamously more queer precursor to DJ Sprinkles' Midtown 120 Blues. and is one of only a few albums to ever receive a 5-star rating from "the old" Resident Advisor. Self-released on Comatonse Recordings with custom packaging hand assembled by Terre herself, the package includes one CD in an archival vinyl pouch with a double-sided insert card (100mm x 200mm), phonograph style anti-static inner sleeves, and 4x4 panel poster insert printed on newsprint (472mm x 472mm).

DJ Sprinkles & Mark Fell: Incomplete Insight (2012-2015)

A double-CD set compiling all of DJ Sprinkles & Mark Fell's collaborative 12-inches on the first disc, combined with a second disc filled with ten previously unreleased outtakes from the Complete Spiral EP sessions. As the album title suggests, listeners get an "incomplete insight" into the mixing and editing methods of these two very different electronic audio producers united by their histories with, and love of, classic deep house. (Track tip: out of this entire set, DJ Sprinkles' personal favorite for mixing on the dancefloor is "Incomplete Spiral 4.") Self-released on Comatonse Recordings with custom packaging hand assembled by Terre herself, the package includes two CDs in an archival vinyl pouch with two double-sided insert cards (100mm x 100mm), phonograph style anti-static inner sleeve, and 4x4 panel poster insert printed on newsprint (472mm x 472mm).

K-S.H.E: Spirits, Lose Your Hold / 精霊、力を落とす (Route 69: 2006-2012)

A CD compiling all of K-S.H.E's 12-inch and one-off releases to date beyond the 2006 debut album Routes not Roots (one of the few albums to ever receive a full 5-star rating from Resident Advisor, and precursor to DJ Sprinkles' Midtown 120 Blues). This is the first time for many of these tracks to be available in digital format. Includes K-S.H.E's previously unreleased original version of "Reverse Rotation," which was later dramatically re-tempo'ed and re-worked for release on DJ Sprinkles' album. Self-released on Comatonse Recordings with custom packaging hand assembled by Terre herself, the package includes one CD in an archival vinyl pouch with one double-sided insert card (100mm x 100mm), phonograph style anti-static inner sleeve, and 4x4 panel poster insert printed on newsprint (472mm x 472mm).

Comatonse.000: Comatonse.000.R3 (incl. Social Material "Class/Consciousness")

Comatonse.000 was the project name, EP title, and catalog number of Terre Thaemlitz' 1993 debut 12-inch featuring the NY Loft classic A-side "Raw Through a Straw," and the bass-heavy ambient B-side that captured the attention of producers like Bill Laswell and Mixmaster Morris, "Tranquilizer." This CD compiles all Comatonse.000 related releases to date, including that other Comatonse EP working the "Scorpio" break so important to the early Loft house scene, Social Material's, Class/Consciousness. Self-released on Comatonse Recordings with custom packaging hand assembled by Terre herself, the package includes one CD in an archival vinyl pouch with one double-sided insert card (100mm x 100mm), phonograph style anti-static inner sleeve, and 4x4 panel poster insert printed on newsprint (472mm x 472mm).

Terre's Neu Wuss Fusion: Recalls

A CD compiling all of Terre's Neu Wuss Fusion's releases to date. Includes previously unreleased and alternate versions of tracks found elsewhere (such as on DJ Sprinkles "Gayest Tits & Greyest Shits" and "Fagjazz"), so this CD will still be of interest to collectors who might already have those other items. Self-released on Comatonse Recordings with custom packaging hand assembled by Terre herself, the package includes one CD in an archival vinyl pouch with two double-sided insert cards (100mm x 100mm), phonograph style anti-static inner sleeve, and 4x4 panel poster insert printed on newsprint (472mm x 472mm).

V.A.: Fagjazz (Reissue)

A special reissue of "Fagjazz," the double CD originally released in 2000 that introduced the world to the expression 「ベリー・ファッキング重低音」. Disc 1 compiles tracks from various Comatonse releases, many of which had previously only been available on vinyl. However, the real centerpiece of the release is Disc 2 "Superbonus," an hour long ambient-jazz track in 5/4 time only found here, for which Thaemlitz received an Honorable Mention in Digital Musics from the 1999 ORF Prix Ars Electronica competition. For the collectors, the versions of "Sloppy 42nds" and "Thirty Shades of Grey" found here are different than those found on Terre's Neu Wuss Fusion "Recalls" (C.030, 2021). Self-released on Comatonse Recordings with custom packaging hand assembled by Terre herself, the package includes two CDs in an archival vinyl pouch with one double-sided insert card (100mm x 100mm), phonograph style anti-static inner sleeve, and 4x4 panel poster insert printed on newsprint (472mm x 472mm).

DJ Sprinkles: Gayest Tits & Greyest Shits: 1998-2017 12-inches & One-offs

A double-CD set compiling all of DJ Sprinkles' solo releases to date besides "Midtown 120 Blues." Includes the long out-of-print "Sloppy 42nds: A tribute to the 42nd Street transsexual clubs destroyed by Walt Disney's buyout of Times Square" and "Bassline.89," along with all of her one-off compilation tracks, self-remixes related to Terre Thaemlitz projects, and more.

For the Sprinkles collectors out there looking to scratch an itch, the Comatonse Shop offers a specially priced three-item collector's bundle of Gayest Tits & Greyest Shits, "Midtown 120 Blues" and Will Long's "Long Trax," giving you Sprinkles' complete solo catalog plus a hefty dose of remix work filling the entire second disc of Will's album. (For the hard-core queer deep house enthusiasts, scroll down the order form and add a copy of K-S.H.E's "Routes not Roots" French Skylax edition while we still have copies - another one of Sprinkles' aliases - to further flesh out the underground faggotry.)

zeitkratzer & Terre Thaemlitz: Deproduction (Live)/不産主義(ライブ)

RELEASED ON VALENTINE'S DAY, 14 FEBRUARY, 2019: A double-CD featuring live renditions of my 2017 multi-media album "Deproduction/不産主義," recorded with zeitkratzer at Haus der Berliner Festspiele, March 19, 2018, at MaerzMusik: Festival for Time Issues 2018.

ディジタル・リイシュー 〜 令和2年11月28日



Select out-of-print items now downloadable from Bandcamp

As a bit of an experiment, Comatonse Recordings/Terre Thaemlitz now have a page on Bandcamp: comatonse.bandcamp.com. It features digital downloads of older releases that we have sold out of, but there is not enough interest for a physical repress. Many of these are Terre's older ambient and electroacoustic projects, including a few items previously only available on 7-inch vinyl. Releases include:

There is also Comp x Comp, a digital exclusive compilation of electroacoustic and ambient tracks I had released on compilations over the years. It contains the previously unreleased "Mille Glaces.000-009," a series of ten audio shorts intended for release in an anniversary compilation for the label Mille Plateaux (DE), which I believe was cancelled during the 2003 bankruptcy. In keeping with the "Mille Plateaux" theme, "Mille Glaces" (or "One Thousand Layers") is generated using one thousand 1-minute audio excerpts from the Mille Plateaux catalog. "Mille Glaces.000" is a digital mix of 1000 layers of audio heard simultaneously. "Mille Glaces.001-009" are recordings of my computer crashing as it attempts to play the same files in realtime (a Power Macintosh 7100 with Sound Designer II card).

Meanwhile, our emphasis remains on physical formats and "offline digital culture." Please continue to get the latest Comatonse releases - as well as a few of Terre's older items still in stock - through the Comatonse Shop.

Terre Thaemlitz: Nuisance: Writings on Identity Jamming & Digital Audio Production

Released December 15, 2015, as part of the series "challenge GENDER - Volume 5," edited by the Gender Research Office at the University of Vienna.

Austria: Zaglossus, 2015
ISBN 978-3-902902-39-9
English | Softcover | 386 pages | Color Illustrations
EUR 19,95 (incl. VAT)

This book compiles articles, essays, lecture transcripts, album annotations and other texts written by queer audio producer and writer Terre Thaemlitz between 1996 and 2015.

The overall theme uniting the texts is a defense of pessimism and a critical rejection of the incessant optimism lurking at the core of virtually all media - even in the 'critical fields' themselves, where it reflects our conformity to those First World humanist and capitalist practices we wish to critique.

Additional new commentary notes by Terre Thaemlitz explain why the texts sometimes still fraudulently use positive terminology, and break up the linearity of the reading process - thus incorporating the theme of 'nuisance' throughout the book.

Available now at the Comatonse Shop, and the Zaglossus online shop.

Terre Thaemlitz: A/VM 8

NOW IN STOCK: A lost rarity uncovered while attempting to re-organize my book shelves: my anonymous contribution to the 1999 Alku microcassette series "AV/M." This microcassette contains a single, exclusive, untitled track made in an ambient/collage/plunderphonic style, with a duration of 4'14" (four minutes, fourteen seconds). I believe it was an edition of 20 - of which I have 10! In terms of quantity produced, this is beyond a doubt the rarest of all my releases - hence the stupid price. Limit one per customer.

TALES OF THE BODILESS
Musical Fiction Without Science

by Eszter Salamon with Bojana Cvejic, Cédric Dambrain, Terre Thaemlitz, Sylvie Garot and Peter Böhm

SUMMARY

…How can you get off your body?... you are not riding a body, isn't it? It might be possible to get off the body... but how or by what are you transported then?

Can you leave it for a while? Can you take a vacation from your body ? ...How long can you stay out of yourself ...without losing it all together...

A composition of voices, sounds, lights and space that evolves in four tales about bodilessness.

TALES OF THE BODILESS explore a condition that is hard to imagine before you experience it: a world without human bodies .Once humans are a past, and hence, no longer central, the world is made vacant for fantasies about nonhuman forms of existence. Four landscapes of sensations and cognitions, of sinking and dissolving, of neurosis and aggression, of joy and expansion, of explosion and dissipation. A bodiless world requires that theater send its proper body - the stage - on vacation.

This entails that the theatrical regime of senses and faculties in this performance is unsettled: listening battles vision and sight. The spectators' bodies remain a rare live presence that gives duration to the fictions they inhabit.

新しいウェブサイト 〜 平成23年9月14日

After 12 years of the old interface, comatonse.com has been completely redesigned. Over the years the site has grown to over 1000 pages, all of which had to be reorganize and manually recoded, so you'll pardon Terre for procrastinating.
12年ぶりの新しいウェブサイトデザインへよこそ!数年間にcomatonse.comは1000ページ以上になったと、あらゆるページが再編成される必要がありましたが、テーリが手間どるのを許してください。

Some of the new site's features include:
新しいサイトの特徴は:

  • Completely new interface featuring background photos by Terre.
    テーリによるバックグラウンドフォトを特徴とする完全に新しいインタフェース。
  • Bilingual English/Japanese site-searching available on every page.
    毎ページにバイリンガル(日本語/英語)サイトサーチができます。
  • Soundfiles page that lets you "mix" multiple MP3's at once.
    同時に沢山のMP3をミックスすることができるサウンドファイルページ。

There are also several new articles, interviews and album reviews in the press section (formerly "articles & reviews"), as well as a revamped and expanded collection of Terre's writings.
また、新しい記事、インタビュー、アルバムレビューなどがプレスセクションにあります。テーリの執筆セクションもアップデートしました。

P.S. For those of you who enjoyed the chaos of the old site, don't worry... there are plenty of easter eggs hidden throughout the site. (Did you catch the easter egg in that last sentence? No, not the link to Wikipedia, you dolt... that's just a normal link! try harder!) In fact, the old site is still hidden in here somewhere!
P.S. 前のホームページデザインの「めちゃめちゃ」な感じが好きだった人たちへ、安心してね!新しいサイトも沢山のイースター・エッグ隠されています。(先の文の中のイースター・エッグを見つけたか?違う、ウィキペディアのリンクじゃなくて……それは普通のリンクでしょう!もっと頑張ってね!)実は、新しいサイトの中に、古いサイトはまだどこかに隠されています!
