Terre Thaemlitz: Snowflakes & Dog Whistles: Best Electroacoustic Ambient & Sexpanic 1995-2017

A double-CD compiling twenty-nine of Terre Thaemlitz' best electroacoustic ambient and computer music works produced between 1995 to 2017, including many special edits only available on this release. The majority of these tracks have been physically out of print for years. They were originally released on a variety of labels including Mille Plateaux, Daisyworld Discs (Haruomi Hosono of YMO's private imprint), Instinct Ambient, Caipirinha Productions, and of course Thaemlitz' own Comatonse Recordings. The first disc, Snowflakes, focuses on tracks that are more conventionally ambient or perhaps even "pretty." Dog Whistles, the second disc, compiles tracks featuring a chaotic array of samples and sounds that are more overtly related to themes of gender- and sexual variance. Released December 1, 2024.
1995年から2017年にかけて制作されたテーリ・テムリッツの最高のエレクトロアコースティック・アンビエントおよびコンピューターミュージック作品29曲をコンパイルした2枚組CD。このリリースでのみ入手可能な特別編集曲も多数含まれています。これらのトラックの大半は、何年もの間物理的に絶版となっていました。元々は、Mille Plateaux、Daisyworld Discs (YMOの細野晴臣のプライベートレーベル)、Instinct Ambient、Caipirinha Productions、そしてもちろんテムリッツ自身のComatonse Recordingsなど、さまざまなレーベルからリリースされていました。最初のディスク「Snowflakes」は、より伝統的なアンビエント、あるいは「きれい」なトラックに焦点を当てています。2枚目のディスク「Dog Whistles」は、性別や性的多様性のテーマにもっと明らかに関連する、混沌としたサンプルやサウンドの配列をフィーチャーしたトラックをコンパイルしています。リリース 2024.12.1。

Will Long: Acid Trax

Will Long (aka Celer; Oh, Yoko; etc.) returns to Comatonse Recordings with Acid Trax, a double album of minimal trax conjuring the best of the early days of Chicago acid house. DJ Sprinkles also drops in as a guest collaborator with percussion edits on "Acid Trax S," and takes things further into deepness with remixes of "Acid Trax N" and "Acid Trax B." Released December 1, 2024.

Terre Thaemlitz: Tranquilizer EP3: 040468 / 2AM on a Silo / Raw Through a Straw

The third and final vinyl EP in the Tranquilizer 30th anniversary re-issue series, cut by Rashad Becker, is now available exclusively through Boomkat. As with the previous two EP's, it is a limited run of 500 and will likely sell out quickly. (My apologies to any of you who missed either of the first two due to my lack of announcement.) The A-side features "040468" and "2AM on a Silo," while the B-side sees the Loft classic "Raw Through a Straw" receive what is probably its best quality vinyl presentation to date.

The accompanying album text is available in the Writings section in English and Japanese.

They cover a range of topics, including the accompanying text to the thirtieth anniversary reissue of my first full-length album, Tranquilizer; reflections on catching Revibed.com selling my releases without permission; and a public letter of support for Uwe Schmidt amidst current attempts at his cancellation. I am also currently working on another text (about intersex issues), so please check the Writings section for further updates over the coming weeks.

Several recent lengthy interviews have also been posted to the Press section.

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).

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).

A series of exchanges between Terre Thaemlitz and the German art journal Texte zur Kunst around issues of censorship, cancel culture, and the cultural emergence of transsexual privilege over other forms of transgenderism.

The Tale and the Tongue
Episode 17 Not Knowing How a Dead Language Sounded - Terre Thaemlitz

- Sonia Fernández Pan

Download episode here.

In der TANK of the Institute Art Gender Nature (CH), a podcast series produced by the Institute Art Gender Nature, FHNW Academy of Art and Design in Basel, November 8 2023.

Not knowing how a dead language sounded-episode seventeen of The Tale and the Tongue series-follows a conversation with multi-media producer, writer, public speaker, educator, audio remixer, DJ, and owner of the Comatonse Recordings record label Terre Thaemlitz, and Sonia Fernández Pan, the host of this podcast series.

In this week's episode of Playful Podcast, we're meeting with the house music producer, DJ, record label owner and public speaker Terre Thaemlitz, also known as DJ Sprinkles. Sprinkles started her record spinning journey in New York, during the 80's.

Introducing Don't Assume, a new interview podcast from NTS, hosted by Zakia.

Moving beyond the scope of the traditional NTS Radio format, Don't Assume is a long-form interview series: a free flowing conversation with a different musical pioneer, disruptor and innovator, where they discuss their lives and music.

Just released, the first episode features Terre Thaemlitz, commonly known as DJ Sprinkles, an artist, producer and public speaker at the heart of club and experimental culture. The conversation covers her journey into music in her early life, from rural roller discos in Missouri to getting beaten up for his Styx record: the discussion is a reflection on the last 30 years in dance music including a pithy assessment of the wider music industry and club culture.

Terre Thaemlitz: Ukraine Club Culture's K41 Community Fund Openly Involved in Weapons Deals: ...and apparently no music press or record labels doing humanitarian relief charity releases for them find it noteworthy

A new text analyzing the contexts around Western music media's silence on The K41 Community Fund procuring arms. Originally posted on comatonse.com January 26, 2023.

Is it ethical to feel fantastic? On this special two-hour long episode of Bubble World, Christa Belle invites Serge Garcia and Terre Thaemlitz aka DJ Sprinkles to discuss their work together and apart.

Christa Belle and Serge host the episode live from the Refuge Worldwide studio in Berlin - the first hour in conversation covering Serge’s work in film and music, his documentary with Thaemlitz, Grand Central Hotel, and a recorded interview between Terre and Christa.

After that, SG and CB go b2b with a DJ set inspired by the chapters of the show: jizz, gender, commodified house music culture and more.

Wendy Carlos, Moog and A Clockwork Orange: hosted by Colleen ‘Cosmo’ Murphy, with Jude Rogers, Adrian Utley & Terre Thaemlitz. The British Library (UK), April 25 2022.

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).

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

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.)

"Divestments of power are the ways in which people could actually structurally change systemic violence," says music producer, artist and DJ Terre Thaemlitz, discussing her critical stance on pride culture in contemporary LGBT activism. "But instead it's all about power sharing, it's all about being recognised for inclusion within the already existing, and ever expanding, humanist framework of categorising identities for who qualifies as human under the law." Speaking with associate editor Jared Davis on notions of non-essentialism and the socio-economics of music distribution for AQNB's bi-monthly Artist Statement podcast, this latest episode with Thaemlitz is available exclusively to subscribers of our Patreon.

Raised in Missouri before moving to New York in the late 1980s, Terre was a resident DJ at storied queer nightclub Sally's II in the early '90s. Since then, Terre has released music, critical writing, and video via her own Comatonse Recordings, as well as independent labels including Germany's influential Mille Plateaux. Based in Japan since the early 2000s, he also continues to perform and record under the deep house alias DJ Sprinkles, releasing the acclaimed Midtown 120 Blues in 2008.

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

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:

• A-Muzak (1999)
• Chugga: A Big 7-inch (2003)
• Couture Cosmetique (1997)
• Love for Sale: Taking Stock in Our Pride (1999)
• Means from an End (1998)
• Selling (2003)
• Soil (1995)

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.

"Queerness in a Situational Sense," Terre Thaemlitz in Conversation with Daniel Givens and Niels Van Tomme, in Spaces for Criticism: Shifts in Contemporary Art Discourses, ed. by Thijz Lijster, Suzana Milevska, Pascal Gielen, Ruth Sonderegger (NL: Antennae Valiz, 2015) ISBN 978-90-78088-75-2.

From the Valiz website: Is art criticism losing ground, because of the Internet and art blogs? Do people consider the authorative art critics (of newspapers, magazines) as their most important source to assess and filter what they want to see, read, etc.? Most recent discussions have revolved around the question ‘what is art criticism?’; this book wants to explore the question: ‘where is art criticism?’. It wants to explore new ways and new spaces where art critics might interact with publics, works of art, artists and scholars. This book suggests criticism has shifted to different places and different stages: it concerns a ‘displacement’, not only with regard to media (from journalism to blogs, catalogues, etc.), but also a displacement in the geographical and institutional sense.

Radio Web MACBA
Interruptions #12
Lost Techno-Pop Weekend in Rural Midwestern America
Curated by Terre Thaemlitz

A free audio broadcast and text available from Radio Web MACBA that takes a listen to techno-pop of the seventies and early eighties as a brief yet deliberate interruption into the realms of pop, rock, soul and R&B.

By the time mainstream pop music really became electronically based in terms of synthesizer/sampler instrumentation and editing (first with R&B and hip-hop, then mainstream pop), the techno-pop synth sound would be utterly abandoned by both pop and underground electronic cultures (techno, house, etc.). In this sense, techno-pop constitutes an isolated and rarely discussed 'lost weekend' from standard pop practices. Techno-pop is most often dismissed as a shade of new romanticism, punk or electro. However, I believe its strict emphasis on electronics and critical rejection of rock culture (at least in the beginning) make techno-pop in and of itself one of the most important, albeit short-lived, genres of the last century. Then again, my views are admittedly warped by an upbringing in the rural Midwestern US, where electronic music was not only scarce, but phobically abhored by most people.

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. Available here & now at the Comatonse Shop.

This is Chugga's full-length album produced in 1996, from which the two tracks featured on their sexily titled 7-inch vinyl, "A Big 7-Inch," released in 2003 by Klanggalerie (limited to 200 copies, of which we still have 10 or so copies available through our shop as well). For anyone who has that vinyl and wanted more, this is your (probably last ever) chance!

DJ Sprinkles: Where Dancefloors Stand Still DJ Mix Compilation

A CD compilation mixed the style of live recordings captured in the DJ Sprinkles' Deeperama Mix Series. All tracks were personally selected by Sprinkles (a.k.a. Terre Thaemlitz) for their frequent-play status in his DJ sets over the years. The title Where Dancefloors Stand Still is primarily a reference to the Japanese police's recent enforcement of longstanding-but-inactive 'fuzoku' laws that prohibit dancing. It is not uncommon for club staff to ask patrons not to dance. The titles is also a reference to the stylistic stagnation of DJ Sprinkles' sets which continue to focus on records originally collected in the late '80s and early '90s, as well as the fact that many people complain they cannot dance to Sprinkles' sets because the tracks and mixing style are too slow and anti-climactic.

「日本在住アーティスト、テーリ・テムリッツがDJスプリンクルス名義で初となるミックスCDを＜Mule Musiq＞からリリース！トラックを制作する上で彼のアイディアソースとなっている80年代後半〜90年代初頭のレアなハウスクラシックスを使用してのミックスCDは、今では手に入れることが難しい貴重な楽曲が多数収録されています。現在の風営法によるナイトクラブの規制に対する彼なりのレスポンスを提示しつつも、純粋にダンスミュージックの素晴らしさを体感できる楽曲に仕上げてしまうセンスはさすがの一言。恍惚感溢れるトラックに踊りださずにはいられない。」

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.

Terre interviews Terre: Attempting to answer common points of confusion

"When recently compiling articles and reviews for the new website design, I noticed from comments on various blogs that the answers to a few basic questions about me remain unclear to some people. Although the answers are already out there, they are perhaps scattered among various texts and difficult to trace. So I decided to sit down with myself and get the answers to some of the recurring questions and misunderstood points about this Terre Thaemlitz person..."

After 12 years of Tebbe Tubbitz, comatonse.com has been completely redesigned. Over the years comatonse.com 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・エッグが隠されています。（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！
