Mom - Little Brite (ARTMOA-007) out now!!
Joel North and Bruce Blay, both 23-year old Denton residents, have been fortunate enough to share a common ground with their love of acoustic stringed instruments, echo, field recordings, obscure instructional records, sounds from films, tape reels, and subtle electronics. These are some of the elements that provide the texture to their flowing/spiraling sound structures. For the past year and a half, Joel and Bruce have been making music under the name Mom.
randomNumber - modern ambivalence (ARTMOA-006) out now!!
Modern Ambivalence is the fourth album by Leeds’ long standing proponent of electronic music, randomNumber. “Modern Ambivalence†is the latest incarnation of an evolving style which has taken shape over the past eight or so years which flowered from early noise experiments that gave way to a tentative and primitivist electronica.

SCONE - maze out NOW!
Scone's "Maze" (moamoo 2006) is the very first release of this new project. Scone is a collaboration between Reimer Eising (Kettel) and brothers Don & Roel Funcken (Funckarma/Shadowhuntaz). Maze was made entirely out of musical interaction via the internet, between march 2003 - oct 2005. Meanwhile fresh material is being made by joining forces together in the studio this time. Expect more brutal love. Scone represents the lush harmonic melodies and kindness of Kettel, kindly, subbed and packed by the bass, beats and acidic twists of the Funcken force, combined together as timeless sequences. Amen.

maps and diagrams - antennas and signals out now
Antennas and Signals on Moamoo is Maps and Diagrams fourth album, following on from the Free-Time, Polytuft-Tech and Caoutchouc full-length album recordings. Antennas and Signals is composed of waveforms from textures and sounds gathered from instruments and field recordings during 2005, energy was applied to constructing sound and noise from the material collected. This was then collated and constructed into the full-length album during 2005 and finally completed early 2006. The individual pieces on Antennas and Signals dissolve into one other and evolve and flow into the adjacent piece. Antennas and Signals explores the analysis of signal processing and uses microscopic textures, melodies with the aid of computer language and instrumentation. Still with the warmth and depth that Maps and Diagrams holds in his music this composition delivers a deeper, more progressive electronic sound that has clearly evolved into something special.
