An astounding new collection exploring contemporary practices rooted in the avant-garde technique... a powerful rethinking of the potential of ambient music through the lens of industrial music, electronic experimentalism, and subtle treatments of musique concrète.

Between the end of the 1950's and the beginning of the '60s, the literary and stylistic technique of William S. Burroughs (1914-1997) influenced an entire generation that was, in those years, in direct collision with the social system. A somewhat controversial man on the fringes of civilization, from his brilliant mind emerged the creative writing technique that burst onto the scene under the name of Cut-Up.

This procedure was previously introduced by the Dadaist poet Tristan Tzara, involving cutting words from an existing text to generate a new meaning by mixing the various words in a different order. Burroughs took this technique to the extreme, influencing every artistic realm, particularly the field of rock and experimental music. The list of his disciples in the musical domain is extensive, including names like David Bowie, Patti Smith, Frank Zappa, Sonic Youth, Bob Dylan, and Throbbing Gristle, to name just a few.

This homage to the great American writer features an incredible roster of artists: Sigillum S, Dead Voices On Air, Adi Newton (Clock DVA, TAGC), 400 Lonely Things, Rapoon, PBK, Paolo L. Bandera (Sigillum S, Sshe Retina Stimulants, Iugula Thor), Allan Segall, David Lee Myers (Arcane Device), P.U.M.A., Mario Lino Stancati, Phoanøgramma + The Washing Planck, and Nihil Impvlse.
