Timo van Luijk is an autodidact sound instrumentalist / improvising composer, photographer and printmaker. An appearing constant in all his work is a profound attraction to an irrational, organic and delicate stilled world observed through antique lenses, a fin de siècle aura faded through erosion of time. He is a founding member of the Noise-Maker’s Fifes collective (1989-2006) and since 2000 he publishes his solo music (Af Ursin) and collaboration projects with a.o. Andrew Chalk, Bart De Paepe, Christoph Heemann, Frederik Croene, Kris Vanderstraeten, Raymond Dijkstra on his La Scie Dorée imprint. In 2007 he founded the Metaphon record label releasing a releasing archive works of experimental music composers and sound artists like Michael Ranta, Arsène Souffriau, Rolf Gehlhaar, Robert Fesler …

Jon Mueller studied jazz drumming with Hal Russell at Columbia College in Chicago, and singing with La Monte Young and Marian Zazeela at the Kirana Center for Indian Classical Music in New York. A prolific performer, he tours extensively and has appeared at festivals and venues throughout the United States, Canada, England, Europe and Japan. In addition to his solo work, his collaborations include Olivia Block, Aaron Turner, Jason Kahn, Hal Rammel, Asmus Tietchens, Z’EV, Rhys Chatham, Jarboe, James Plotkin, Duane Pitre, and Raymond Dijkstra.

Previous Albums of Anima Sound were “Musik für Alle” (1971) and “Stürmischer Himmel” (1971). After this they continued releasing their Work as Anima. The Group is known for their free Improvisations in an Area bordered by Psychedelic Music, Jazz and Kraut Rock. Instruments were often build by themselves. During 1972 and 1973 they toured extensively through Europe with a Tractor, Mobile Stage and some Sheep, to give unanounced (and unsolicited) Concerts in smaller and bigger Villages, often to the despair of uninformed Villagers… These Tours were recently published in the Documentary “Anima-Sound: Mit 20 km/h durch Europa (1972) & Gruppe Anima in Salzburg (1973)” https://vimeo.com/233453157

Limpe Fuchs is currently still highly active as a Musician, Instrument Builder and Visual Artist. http://www.limpefuchs.de/
Paul Fuchs is a prolific Artist, working as a Musician, Instrument Builder and in the Visual Arts as Painter, Sculptor among other Activities. https://www.paulfuchs.com/

NEWS

Since 2017 we have been working towards building a fine catalog of artists who are highly inspired to show their creative works in a different light than is usual in the world of music. And in the world of art for that matter. Both separate entities are since decades the stage for making money, where music and art are just playing the second fiddle. We don’t claim we can change this, but we cán show how publications can also be done. Vibrant and with inspiration. And entirely the domain of the artist. The unadapted and unaltered vision of the artist.

All Astres d’Or vinyls are handcut one by one in our own bhaavitaaH bhuutasthaH studio. Each a direct copy cut from the source. No copy from a stamper from a mother from a father from a lacquer like is done with pressed records (with all added noise as a consequence). Our vinyls have no deterioration and are of the highest quality, crisp and clean.

In fact, each of them is specially made when you as a collector place an order. When we receive your order, we cut your vinyl especially for you. With highest attention for detail.

For the near future and beyond we’ll continue showing that music publications can be as powerful and vibrant as the vision of the artist and are in fact an original work of art in itself, a total work of art combining visual art and music.
