Sex Dreams Of The I Ching
Millimetre writes… “Sex Dreams Of The I Ching started out as six love songs with strange fragmented structures that had titles inspired by readings from the I Ching. I didn't know what to do with them, but kept returning to them over and over, they had an uncanny quality whilst being totally dissonant and broken. One day I found some recordings I made on a 4-track years ago with a WEM Copycat – mostly my vocalisations looped endlessly – and out of curiosity played some whilst playing the love so…
Works For Magnetic Tape
Ken Hollings writes: “I have always been, first and foremost, a writer. The three tracks that make up this audiocassette release reflect my interest in how differently the written text operates from spoken word: what separates and makes them distinct from each other – and what happens when one is translated into the other? A longer version of the text for “There Must Be Something Wrong With This, Sally” appeared in volume 19 issue 4 of the Leonardo Electronic Almanac: “Without Sin: Freedom and T…

Musique pour structures sonores Baschet
After a triptych released by Un je-ne-sais-quoi, in barely 3 years, under the name Tachycardie, Jean-Baptiste Geoffroy, musician, composer but also visual artist, continues his very singular journey to the heart of sound matter, with an album composed on Baschet sound structures. From the 1950s, the Baschet brothers created a truly innovative set of instruments which has since fascinated musicians seeking new sound experiences. Both sculptures of glass, metal and instruments of great acoustic sh…
Daniel dans la nuit
"Daniel de la Nuit" is a book/record for kids composed by the french musician Funken. An illustrated story imagined by Carmela Chergui and Timo Hateau (44 color pages - format 16x23 cm - French). Daniel is a nice little squid, everyone will tell you that in Villeneuve-la-Roussette. But today, it's something else. It's nighttime, and he refuses to go back to sleep. And it's not just any night! It's the Night of the Periwinkles! Taking advantage of a moment of inattention from his father, he escap…

After two years since second effort Eurybia, Francesca Heart returns to Leaving Records with a new seven-tracks album detailing the progress in her personal musical lore. Bird Bath expands on the musician’s childlike cosmic approach, crafting new tales where feelings and symbols of unearthly love and possibility, inner protection and desire become the album’s pillars.
An iteration of the artist’s interest in mediterranean mythology and the evolution of sacred icons, Bird Bath begins with the fi…

Sauco
Sonic journey crafted to cultivate poetic gestures amidst Fauna, Flora, Fungi, Mineral Waters, Wind, and Earth. Each track is an exploration of sound's constant transformation, akin to dragonfly particles swimming in the air. Like waves occupying a space in the spectrum, the compositions work with the movement, condensation, and lightness of the air.
Binche
J3 sEUQCAJ and S3 eVETS were à;GRUMH... from 1981 to 1991. They later continued as nEGAPADRES.3.3. from 2000 onwards.

Tissue of Lies
A reissue Nocturnal Emissions' first album, Tissue Of Lies, released on the band's own Sterile Records label in 1980. Tissue Of Lies shows you Nocturnal Emissions' industrial roots, from noisy collages to classic power noise, reminding the early Throbbing Gristle and Cabaret Voltaire, Faust (Tapes period) or Conrad Schitzler's Schwarz. The Nocturnal Emissions project, masterminded by Nigel Ayers, has been on the cutting edge of new music since the 1970s. Nigel Ayers has been described as a Guerr…
Tomutonttu Ja Lehtisalo
Finland has long had a uniquely progressive underground, with thriving punk, avant, jazz, and rock scenes with oversized output and impact. Jussi Lehtisalo’s (Circle, Pharaoh Overlord, Mahti, etc) label Ektro has been at the center of this activity for the last 3 decades, with a stream of excellent and conceptually bonkers releases covering music of all types. Here Jussi joins up with Jan Anderzén (of Kemialliset Ystävät among others) for an LP of absolutely fun and unusual miniature duets that …
Vzpomínka Na Světlo / Fyziognomie Hyeny
*200 copies limited edition.* Jasnovidec is Prague based duo exploring realms of modular synthesis and manipulated electronics. Their new EP is a saunter on the ruins of once modern, now lost and scattered societies, slowly observing how the teeth of time took bite of man's pride. The ruins are wet, covered in lichens and other shade-loving plants. They said future world will be dry. Instead it's cold and wet with gray skies which don't move any more. Human dwellings reeks of intoxicating smell …
Lambda
ZULI's widest-reaching and most ambitious album to date, 'Lambda' is a conspicuous left turn for the Berlin-based Egyptian producer. Draped in gauzy, granulated textures and woven with enigmatic vocal flourishes from collaborators MICHAELBRAILEY, Coby Sey and Abdullah Miniawy, it's a vivid, soul-searching set of polychromatic reflections that sets fire to the boundaries between ambient, trip-hop, industrial music, chamber pop and symphonic noise. In some aspects, 'Lambda' reveals ZULI's softer s…
Triple Point
"Loscil — who may be more familiar to some as Scott Morgan, the drummer for indie-popsters Destroyer — is the exception that proves the rule. And his debut album Triple Point, an ambient-techno concept album about thermodynamics (no, really), is no less exceptional. Burbling and pulsing along to smoothly running cybergrooves, tracks with names like Hydrogen, Ampere, Pressure and Conductivity present a chilly antiseptic front broken only by the odd, seemingly random injection of assorted clicks, …
Minstrels and Minimoogs
Tip! *300 copies limited edition* Gregory T.S. Walker’s Minstrels & Minimoogs was self-published by a young, nomadic composer and virtuoso in 1988 to accompany an immersive multimedia performance at the University of Colorado Boulder’s Fiske Planetarium. Created with this outer, and other, world setting in mind, the four tracks find Walker stretching toward an ancient-to-future vision where Egyptian myths and Hieronymus Bosch-ian tableaus are rendered in a screaming three dimensional circuitry o…
Thrash
Nice Music Label presents ‘Trash’ - an incendiary new collaborative recording from indefinable, incomparable modern giant of electronic music Actress (Darren Cunningham) and NM’s own label head, capricious sound artist Simon J Karis. Actress and SJK stir up their intertwining trademark elements into a clandestine symmetrical arc over three tracks - each of them bestowing their own edit of ‘Thrash’, with Karis’ urgent acid thumper as a centerpiece. Both drastically remapping their razored hardwar…
Antipodean Anomalies 2
*2024 stock* Antipodean Anomalies 2 is Left Ear Records most ambitious project to date, a compilation that took over 4 years to license and includes 17 artists across a double LP. AA2 picks up where the first iteration left off, with co-compilers Chris Bonato & Bridget Small continuing to dig through the music of the geographically isolating and maverick landscapes of Australia & New Zealand. As with the first iteration, Left Ear continues to excavate the music from these vast micro-scenes that …

*2024 stock* "leg shaking is not an easy action. or better say "non-action" as it's about moving unconsciously and always meaning negative. yes it's not easy to be unconscious and negative while the body was controlled by such a social agency, i.e. the body itself. i mean there is no naked body left. there is only the built body. so does the language. basically i think language is something generated by a body and through this body to its outer environment. the body is an energy transformer and …
