House of POGUS


Pogus Productions features releases of Electronic, Electro-Acoustic, and Experimental music. Uncompromising, non-commercial, and definitely not for everyone (unfortunately), these releases are geared towards discerning listeners.
 
New - DVD Release from True Age Media - Grindstone Redux (The Documentary). The story of the 1980s Underground Music Network as told by 10 of the artists who made it happen: Data-Bank-A, Mark Lane, Randy Greif, Mikhail Bohonus, Charles Goff III, Don Campau, Jeff Central, Chris Phinney, Al Margolis, Curious Voltage.

Updates - So the reviews are in - and folks (well the reviewers at least) are digging Tom Hamilton and Bruce Eisenbeil's "Shadow Machine" - check out the review page links to see for yourself. And no surprise that The Source reissue has been getting great reviews - there is great stuff on those CDs - essential in fact.

A couple of dates to remember too. June 27, 2009 at Issue Project Room, Tom Hamilton and Jacqueline Martelle will be performing Al Margolis's "Rushin Lisa" for tape, flute, and Nord Modular synthesizer - off his upcoming If, Bwana CD"31" on the GD Stereo label. And next day (busy weekend) - June 28 - Tom Hamilton and Bruce Eisenbeil will be
performing at Downtown Music Gallery 6:00. So come on down.

Recent releases - April, new CD released on Absurd Records out of Greece featuring Al Margolis and Dan Burke...check it out
March, Tom Hamilton and Bruce Eisenbeil, Shadow Machine. Coherence without predictability, speed without tempo, direction without a roadmap - an unlikely foray into the world of out-jazz and free improvisation.
February's release, Source Records 1-6, Music of the Avant Garde, 1968-1971. Pogus is proud to present this digital reissue of the Source LP's on 3 CDs. Reviewed on New Music Box.
