Lumen

Vocalist Pinkie Maclure and multi-instrumetalist John Wills sign as Lumen their latest CD release "This Day and Age". It is an incredible diving into a loopy avant-garde musical experience featuring Pinkie's extraordinary voice. [17/11/03]

Alejandro Escovedo

FUND

A serious health problem with hepatitis C has kept Alejandro Escovedo hospitalized. As he is still in serious condition, a number of friends and believers have started a fund to his benefit. The Alejandro Fund (www.alejandrofund.com) has already organized concerts (like the one in New York on August 16) with a few more dates (San Francisco, September 2) and an impressive line-up of respected participants.

Escovedo, honors the Sixteen Haiku and Other Stories international project, participating in Haiku Four. Please accept our warmest wishes for a quick recovery, Alejandro!

Cat Power YOU ARE FREE

The last Cat Power release titled "You Are Free" is simply one of the nicest things in music we recently heard. Chan Marhsall's songwriting and vocal qualities are outstanding, as you may find out in an officially downloadable mp3 version of "I Don't Blame You", first track in her album. Also, catch her interview in the August 18, 2003 issue of New Yorker.

Sigmatropic are very honoured to have her in the "Sixteen Haiku and Other Stories" line-up.

Antonis Livieratos:

Mother Tongue

The latest release by enfant terrible in the Greek musical scene and Sigmatropic co-producer Antonis Livieratos, has stunned the music reviewers and has attracted a lot of attention. Mother Tongue, basically an instrumental album based on electronics and hypnotic drum beats, is out from Hitch Hyke Records. Very impressive. Not to be missed.
