Giancarlo Toniutti & Siegmar Fricke - *Ko/USK-

A collaborative album by Italian composer Giancarlo Toniutti and Siegmar Fricke (of Delta-Sleep-Inducing Peptide) that came out in 1997 inside a 78-page hardbound book containing graphical scores and Toniutti's impenetrable pseudo-academic/linguistic writing. The sound comes from rubbing stones together, but don't let that banal description fool you. This music reminds me of the cyclic organic rumble of Yeast Culture or Small Cruel Party, or even the first New Blockaders album. Hard to imagine that this was made by human hands.
