It has also been nominated for the Swiss Film Prize in the category Best Documentary and has won the Zurich Film Prize (Best Documentary) a few weeks back. We are excited about this success and look forward to seeing the movie opening in cinemas on April 16th.

I am pleased to announce the release of Pocket Size Isolationism, a collaboration with Utah Kawasaki on the Esquilo label:
Tomas Korber / Utah Kawasaki
Pocket Size Isolationism
Esquilo Records 012
Notes from the label:
First ever collaboration and recording between swiss Tomas Korber and japanese Utah Kawasaki recorded back in 2006. Hardly categorizable it probably stands as the most peculiar release by any of these artists revealing an unclear mix of different dimensions sourced from a multilayered fragile interconnected system of guitars, microphones and electronics. While raising many questions, especially regarding control, choice of sounds, structure and balance, its playback is a defying and uneasy experience. Limited to 200 copies.
