*100 copies limited edition* This new chapter of the Sound Mapping series focuses on Portugal, tracing a cartography of contemporary electroacoustic practices that unfold across a wide and diverse spectrum.

What emerges is a porous sonic territory shaped by memory, landscape, and experiment…
*2026 stock* Egg Shells is a compilation series by the label Biardo Records. These compilations bring together various musicians and producers, blending different sounds and textures into a unified flow. The series isn’t tied to a specific genre — it primarily conveys a certain state and mood.
The second compilation turned out to be gothic, summery-contemplative, and warmly analog in both sound and spirit. Vocal and acoustic instrument samples, fourth world music, audio collage, loop deconstruct…
*2026 stock* Here is the first compilation of the label Biardo Records. We invited many talented musicians to participate in it. This work was inspired by the idea of birds - living all over the world, each of them sings its own song. We can only witness and enjoy, collect their melodies. We offered each artist to choose a favorite bird and share the musical projects in which the artists participated.
When we listened to the compilation for the first time, we were pleasantly surprised by its d…

"What strikes me again, even now, is that rock from the late '60s through the early '70s remains the most compelling — whether Western or Japanese. In the mid-1960s, British groups like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones swept across the globe, while in the United States Bob Dylan famously swapped his folk guitar for an electric one, igniting the folk-rock movement. From the surge of new energy among young people in Britain and America — entwined with hippie culture, drugs, and the radical momen…

This movement, known as Musica Popular Brasileira (MPB), reflected a blend of modernity and a lifestyle that was both cool and metaphysical.
