Psychotic Einzelkind is an exploding kaleidoscope, an acoustical Rorschach inkblot test, of psychotic sounds and noises. Sudden Infant as a trio, with the forces of Joke Lanz (vocals, electronics), Bill Kouligas (percussion, electronics) and Christian Weber (bass), delivers a strong and extensive album without any boundaries and limits. Recorded 2007 at Rashad Becker's studio in Berlin Kreuzberg. Includes three remixes by Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth), Lasse Marhaug and Z'EV. Cover design by Allon Kaye.

Pure classic noise-actionism and physical sound-poetry! Includes four inserts with photo and detailed informations about each performance. Direct mailorder copies (from Sudden Infant or Tochnit Aleph) are signed by the artist! Available in PAL & NTSC.
'An inner motivation causes the sound to find its way out of the body and into the space. Gestural pantomime explains more about this music, coming as it does from a feeling for the body, than words could ever do.'

Carlos Giffoni says: 'I first met Joke Lanz four or five years ago in New York, during his US-tour. I was immediately blown away by his work, by its ferocitiy and precision. I had been experimenting in similar areas in my solo performances and in recordings with the Old Bombs trio, and had heard of Joke through his involvement in Schimpfluch-Gruppe, but nothing could prepare me for the cut-up insanity of Sudden Infant's performance.
This current collaboration has its origins in a joint performance in a shady pub in East London in 2004, though in between then and the time this record was made our styles had diverged - Sudden Infant still ferocious and precise but with a whole new refreshing approach to physical sounds - me still looking for the perfect frequency to make the audience come in their pants. Combine these approaches and you get a true oscillating orgy.'
Recordings have been exchanged and reworked, and finalised when the two played together again at Blå club in Oslo in 2006. Mastered and cut by the peerless Rashad Becker in Berlin. First edition of 200 copies!

Split CDr between new S.I. member Bill Kouligas (Family Battle Snake) and Joke Lanz. Five S.I. tracks, recorded live at the Gluerooms in South East London 2004, and five B.K. tracks recorded in London, Athens and Bristol in 2006. Limited editon of 180 copies!
"Last minute contender for gig of the year was the recent Glasgow date that paired a furious Prurient set with an inspired, funny, visceral onslaught from Joke Lanz and Bill Kouligas of Sudden Infant. Between the two of them they managed to bridge classic early Industrial junkyard ritual - complete with fucked New Wave ballads that combined the bombed-out architectures of AV Borsig, Abwärts and Neubauten with quirky electro rhythms and DIY pop rants - and beautifully streamlined modern noise euphoria. It was a fucking blast! They had this CD with em, not a collaboration, but an excellent split that demonstrates the kinda muscle both sides bring to the table in their amazing live collaboration. Recommended!" David Keenan / Volcanic Tongue / December 2006

Liederliches is a collection of 36 one minute cut-up absurdities / insanity? perpetrated by Joke Lanz (Sudden Infant) and Rudolf Eb.er (Runzelstirn & Gurgelstock), both of which are founding members of the actionist group Schimpfluch. This LP is pressed on 140 gram marbled vinyl that plays from the inside-out (vinyl starts at center and plays to the edge) and comes housed in a beautifully printed (and sturdy) sleeve adorned with art by Rudolf Eb.er. Limited edition of 300 copies! www.blossomingnoise.com
Exciting studio album featuring Annie Stubbs on vocals + percussion and Joke Lanz on noise toys + vocals.
With cover versions of Cabaret Voltaire's Nag Nag Nag and Roxy Music's In Every Dream Home A Heartache.
Housed in a beautiful Digipack with a limited edition Sudden Infant sticker.
"Abandoning the predictable walls of noise and static assaults, the music of Sudden Infant bounces the listener about an unpredictable journey through violent explosions, eerie body sounds and functions, and hysterical lunacy. If there was an asylum established for noise and industrial musicians who had lost touch with reality in their pursuit of music 'Invocation of the Aural Slave Gods' would be the soundtrack playing at the asylum.

The best moments of Sudden Infant’s tour through the United Kingdom of England in November 2003 are burned down on this fine CD including the legendary Red Rose gig in north London. “As I leave, Joke Lanz one of the members of Schimpfluch-Gruppe appears as Sudden Infant, with vicious noise assaults emanating from a plastic baby doll. It's brutal and abrasive and the remaining audience appears to love it” (Compulsion magazine). Limited edition of 50 copies only! www.tochnit-aleph.com
Recorded in Whitechapel, London during April-August 2004. Additional sound material by Roger Rotor (Catholic Boys In Heavy Leather), Annie Stubbs (Devotion) and Rolf Brunner (Bloodstar). Hand printed and numbered digipack with two different (randomly packed) artwork inserts. Check out this fine label: http://entracte.co.uk

Asperger's Disorder is a milder variant of Autistic Disorder. In Asperger's Disorder, affected individuals are characterized by social isolation and eccentric behaviour in childhood. There are impairments in two-sided social interaction and non-verbal communication. Clumsiness is prominent both in their articulation and gross motor behaviour. The name 'Asperger' comes from Hans Asperger, an Austrian physician who first described the syndrome in 1944.
