Five years after his first quartet release “Kora” (Aut Records, 2021), Giacomo Zanus returns with a new album titled “wandering away is safer than getting lost on your own.”
Composed and produced by the italian guitarist, “wandering away…” is a collection of little stories — postcards and travel notes that evoke faces, places and sensations to immerse oneself in, get lost in and ultimately rediscover.
Emblematic figures such as Calvino’s silent Palomar — almost a manifesto for the entire project…

A road that waited fifty-two years to be walked. Recorded in Trieste in 1973 and never released, Dove Va La Tua Strada? is the lone document of Exit - a band that vanished without leaving an official trace, now resurfacing through Black Widow Records in a highly limited edition of 400 copies. This is Italian prog archaeology of the purest kind: not a reissue, but a first appearance, half a century late.
The story of its recovery has something novelistic about it. In the summer of 2021, at the Tr…
Bomb! 328 pages hard-cover book, large format + 2CD of previously unreleased recordings. Keith Tippett (1947-2020) occupies a singular place in the history of British improvised music - a pianist of extraordinary range whose work moved fluidly between free jazz, large-scale orchestral composition, and solo improvisation of rare depth. Born in Bristol and trained first as a chorister, Tippett arrived in London in the late 1960s and rapidly established himself as a central figure in the city's cr…

The first-ever vinyl release of Gérard Grisey’s Vortex Temporum (to our knowledge). Movements I and II appear as a single track to preserve their spectral continuity. The LP features cover art by Dariia Kuzmych and comes with a zine of her ballpoint drawings, merging time and human tissue.

With Heat, Société Étrange extends its work around repetition, groove and cyclic structures, shaping an instrumental music that is both hypnotic and enveloping. Without any radical shift, the Lyon-based trio subtly moves towards more melodic and more cinematic forms, revealing warmer, more textured and sometimes more luminous atmospheres.
Formed by Antoine Bellini (electronics), Romain Hervault (bass) and Jonathan Grandcollot (drums), Société Étrange builds here a more diffuse trance, driven by …
The archive is not neutral. In 2019, Andrea Centazzo discovered unlabeled tape reels in his mother's attic in Udine - boxes assumed lost seven years earlier. What emerged from these deteriorating reels, transferred by engineer Sergio Tomasini during COVID lockdowns, was unexpected: unreleased recordings from the original Elektriktus sessions of 1973-76, alongside other archival materials including previously unknown collaborations with Steve Lacy and Evan Parker from the same period.
Centazzo's …
Iterae is issued as a multi-disc edition designed for both shelf and wall—referencing the scale of the vinyl LP while quietly subverting its familiar expectations. The format distributes the album's material across four 80mm compact discs. Each disc can be played independently or sequenced freely, extending the music's own recursive methodology into its physical presentation. A full-sized compact disc is included on the rear for continuous playback. The design incorporates an integrated rear wal…
The experimental landmark Opera by FNTC returns in a remastered CD edition, nearly forty years after its original cassette release on Staalplaat in 1987. A striking document of Europe's late 80s cassette underground, Opera captures the collective at their most adventurous - merging spontaneous composition, sound collage and performance art into a single immersive experience. As a member of the Fluxus movement, Willem de Ridder brought his conceptual sensibility to the project, pushing the bounda…
"Another window opens - and with it, another singular mystery of modern impressionism joins the catalogue of Les Disques Omnison. Classicaly trained yet reshaped by Paris experimental and improvisation scene, Jeanne Gorisse pushes her "bass" practice further on her second solo album, a follow-up to her 2024 debut "Immersion Libre". Alongside the double bass, she explores bowed electric bass, and re-records herself to tape on several tracks; creating an intimate dialogue between the acoustic and …

If you check the credits of The Rolling Stones' Goats Head Soup LP from 1973 you'll find a certain "Pascal" listed on the percussion section. That is none other than Los Angeles based artist Nicolas Pascal Raicevik (1933-1994), aka 107-34-8933, aka Head, aka Nik Pascal, aka Nik Raicevic. Besides his hitting the bongoes on the Stones album, Nik was a great artist on his own, both as a painter and as a musician. As a musician, he was a pioneer in the use of synthesizers, preceeding the Berlin scho…
Zweistein's trippy Kraut psych experimental masterpiece from Philips Records 1970, arguably one of the most sought after Kraut titles, period! Remastered from the original tapes, absolutely essential! With roughly a half century between us, the revolutionary spirit of the 1960’s is easily lost - watered downed, its energy and truths rubbed clean by the ubiquity of the pop machine. Our contemporary vision of the past rarely resemblances the true zeitgeist of the day. The 1960’s was an era defined…

As a result, two LPs were issued on Polydor Germany in 1971 and 1972, right before forming Slap Happy with old school pal Peter Blegvad and Dagmar Krause.Secrets of the B…
Tip! *200 copies limited edition* If there are still living legends of contemporary noise, Rotat would certainly be among those that would have to be named. Tero Trogen, a raging lunatic from ever-expanding Suomi, started in 2015 and quickly rose to the highest ranks of the scene, being backed by some of the most prestigious and reliable labels currently active. Revolving around its usual blend of perversion, insanity and an uneasily black form of absurd humour, the project presents „Somnambulan…
*200 copies limited edition* Once Dunkelheit started focussing on Noise and Power Electronics, the laws of attraction caused many a great new artist to cross our path. One of the discoveries we are most proud of bears the name Spur On To XS. After a highly acclaimed debut and a convincing live show, the new full-length „Sacrifice as the Cornerstone of Society“ presents this ambitious dutchmen at the top of his game. Even those who may have found the debut a tad too unpolished should love what he…
The 2nd volume of "Music for Piano and Strings" by Morton Feldman is performed by The Smith Quartet with John Tilbury, presenting "Patterns In a Chromatic Field", and "Piano, violin, Viola, Cello", on DVD audio to allow for the length of these large works
Several lifetimes ago, when I was nineteen, I was interviewed by Wilfrid Mellers for a place at York University. That I failed to win a place may have been due in part to the confinement of our discussions to the music of Morton Feldman. Wilfr…
