LATEST RELEASES
BERG 9
by British Experimental Rocket Group
Continuing the ramped up release schedule for our 40th year we have a new collection of tracks, 'BERG 9' from the ever popular British Experimental Rocket Group.
BERG 9 is the first release to formally include audio from a newer project. As a result of enquiries about the use of the BERG archives members of The Committee For Sonic Research and the British Experimental Rocket Group combined to create new material to take advantage of the huge changes and developments to electronic music creation that has occurred since both groups were originally active during the last century.
Modern BERG has developed in to what could be described as an ‘art collective’ that produce and exhibit physical and digital artworks in galleries, print and online resources separate to the music. More pertinent to the album releases on TCFSR, BERG also provides audio and sonic accompaniment to visual art installations around the world such as drone events, pyrotechnic displays and other types of mass public entertainment events at art centres, science fairs and music festivals.
BERG 9 is the first release to formally include audio from the newer project. This and future releases will not differentiate between ‘new’ and archive BERG material although some indication can be gleaned from material that is dated.

'PROXY For A Long Descriptive Title That Renders The Audio Irrelevant'

I

DECIMATE
by Various Artists
The tradition of releasing a TCFSR Solo Word project compilation on the first day of the year continues with 'DECIMATE', the 17th Solo Word project.
In the TCFSR Solo Word project invited artists are given a single word (and no other instructions) to interpret with whatever audio they deem appropriate.
Twelve artists have contributed to this release, the first of our 40th anniversary year here at The Committee For Sonic Research.
FOOL
by Various Artists
The TCFSR Solo Word project reaches it's sixteenth iteration with the first mid year release for some time.
But this is no ordinary Solo Word project, in a development from the last collection 'EPOCH', which included three tracks by artists associated with Burnt Seed Records of Western Australia this compilation is a joint release and includes many more artists associated with Burnt Seed, so many more in fact that this compilation is a 27 track leviathan
Trixie Delight & Dental Drill
interviewed on Radio Linden
In July 2024 Dental Drill and Trixie Delight discussed (in English) the history of The Committee For Sonic Research with presenter Heiko on his show Geräusche für Fortgeschrittene "Sounds for Advanced Users" on Radio Linden https://www.radiolinden.de/ .
The discussion about the label is roughly chronological from our formation in 1985 and is punctuated by a dozen tracks from the TCFSR catalogue.
We have also added an interview from a year earlier in which Trixie Delight talks (in German) about her music career on the same show.
The shows are on the PODCASTS page. Click the show image (or the PODCASTS on the top menu) to take you there.

The third and final release to mark ten years of TCFSR on Bandcamp brings together a collection of tracks by Dental Drill that were released on other labels between 2013 and 2024.
Music From A Resurrected Room
by WarpCensor
A retrospective of eight tracks taken from The Music Not For Listening Series - polished and re-presented - plus two bonus tracks.
Tracks 1-8 previously published 2016-2018 re-imagined 2024
tracks 9-10 published 2024
choreography
by tourmaline hum
The history of The Committee For Sonic Research is entwined with the band tourmaline hum and its precursors. So when in 2014 TCFSR was resurrected in digital form the first thing that we did was to release material that tourmaline hum had self released in our absence.
This included three of four albums, however for some reason their first album, choreography, was omitted.
Thinking back no one can remember why!
The tenth anniversary of TCFSR on Bandcamp seems a good time to correct this oversight.
