Black Truffle present the first-ever vinyl reissue of Ruedi Häusermann's Galerie Randolph, a masterpiece of solo multi-tracking originally released on CD by Unit Records in 1995. Born in 1948 and residing in the medieval Swiss town of Lenzburg, and virtually unknown outside of the German-speaking world, Häusermann is a multi-instrumentalist and enormously prolific composer who works primarily in the medium of absurdist music-theater. A virtuoso wind player and free improviser who also composes for traditional classical instrumentation, his work is characterized by subtly surreal humor and the unlikely combination of extended technique and simple, at times almost child-like, melodic ideas. Named after his rehearsal room in Lenzburg, Galerie Randolph uses an enormous array of instruments to craft a work of singular compositional vision. Each of the twelve pieces begins from the same two elements: a woozy, sliding scatter of tones played on a home-made contraption stretching two guitar strings between the top of Häusermann's alto saxophone and an amplified cup, and a series of uneasy block chords sounded on accordion and reeds. On each piece these two elements (whose pitch gradually raises throughout the record) are complemented by entirely different material, all of it played by Häusermann. Ranging from layered flutes to one-finger piano melodies to unintelligible vocals to musique concrete interjections to free jazz saxophone explosions, these additional layers combine with the endlessly returning idée fixe of the foundational elements to create a truly dream-like listening experience, a gently deranged realm in which you lose all sense of linear time. Calling up the most unlikely combinations of possible predecessors - Erik Satie, Gerry Mulligan, and Helmut Lachenmann perhaps - Galerie Randolph ultimately defies comparison. Almost unknown except to a select group of cognoscenti such as Jim O'Rourke, yet destined to become a cult classic, Galerie Randolph is an instance of that most rare thing: music the likes of which you have never heard before. Mastered and cut by Rashad Becker at Dubplates & Mastering, Berlin. Presented in a deluxe gatefold sleeve with gorgeous archival images by the composer; Design by Stephen O'Malley; Edition of 500.

Metal Parts are Flimsy
Color: Natural, Size: 72 Inch
The wood shelf part is very nice, but the hardware is lacking for this length of shelf. The bracket that mounts to the wall is very thin metal, and mine was warped so that I had to bend it a bit to mount it straight. It also allows the shelf to bounce at the slightest touch, even though it is attached at the studs. I had to use a couple of chair brackets on the bottom of the shelf to keep it steady, which kind of defeats the "floating shelf" look. That said, with the brackets it is now quite sturdy and doesn't look bad at all.

STUNNING!
Color: Natural, Size: 55 Inch, Color: Natural, Size: 55 Inch
Absolute perfection! Beautiful NATURAL, solid wood. These are not your straight manufactured shelves. These shelves are beautiful with all of their beautiful characteristics. No two shelves are a like and nor should they! I highly recommend the live edge boards for an upscale look.

Needs better hardware
Color: Natural, Size: 36 Inch, Color: Natural, Size: 36 Inch
Shelf looks nice, but it’s a heavy piece of wood. The hardware that’s included is not strong enough. The hardware broke and the shelf fell the first day.

Excellent separation screen
Color: Dark Black
Easy to put together. A drill with the hex head made it easier. I see some of the photos in the reviews and it looks like the fabric is wrinkled and loose. However, when we put it together, the fabric was tight and it looked polished. Using this divider to separate a recording space from the rest of the room the overall look is nice. I would not use this in a living room, but it’s fine in another room. Once put together, it is pretty sturdy. The pieces that connect the panels together are plastic. We did fold it one time when we moved it and didn’t have any issues, but it is going to remain stationary so I can’t comment on folding it more than the one time. It is very lightweight and very opaque.
