Un Giorno in una Piazza del Mediterraneo
In the late 70’s the Italian music scene recorded a renewed interest in a sound research involved to a stimulating fusion of popular elements, jazz improvisation and suggestions of the middle-oriental classical heritage. Starting from the experience of Aktuala the idea of a common "Mediterranean air", that could compare and harmonize rhythms and timbres of various regions, enlivened a large number of musicians.
In this context, it also placed the short history of Zeit and of his main mem…
The Oracle
Big tip! *300 copies limited edition, includes download card* Acclaimed New York-based composer Lea Bertucci offers The Oracle, a striking, vocal-focused collection of music that spans six tracks of adventurous sounds steeped in mysticism and imagination, over three years in the making. Her first purely solo endeavor since 2021’s much lauded A Visible Length of Light (Cibachrome Editions), The Oracle breaks new ground within the scope of Bertucci’s singular voice as an artist.
The Oracle is an al…
It’s All Breaking Apart
The six compositions on Soundwalk Collective’s new album, It’s All Breaking Apart, are based on field recordings from Berlin clubs, particularly Berghain, blended with additional sounds processed through modular synthesizers, ambient noise, fragments of conversations, and new vocal performances, both sung and spoken. The album features collaborations with Anika, Gudrun Gut, Elvin Brandhi, and Nina Kraviz. The opening track, The Crowd, is a collaboration between Soundwalk Collective and legendary…
Terp Interrupted
This audio recording is a new experiment, and simultaneously recalls a line of inquiry from the early practice of Christine Sun Kim. By inviting her to make a record, the curators proposed a return to her work with audio—to a series of artworks that were characterized by the sensorial vibrations and bodily experience of sound, for which she often employed voice. “I can feel [my voice] inside of my body, and in this way it is accessible to me.” Alongside an embodied connection to Deaf culture, th…
Written in Blood
Repress of a noise classic! Written in Blood by Slogun!
Few records capture the feeling of the wind coming off the water on the edge of lower manhattan, the dead zones by chinatown, the piers, the highway and under the bridges. the solitary parts of the city where men can truly feel alone surrounded by the machinery, concrete and elements called gotham. in a catalog of originality written in blood stands, cutting, biting and tearing into your mind with confrontational voices that truly make you …
Music For 18 Musicians
With Steve Reich’s Music for 18 Musicians, the French ensemble Links presents a classic of the 20th century: Written in 1978, it was Reich’s first work for a larger ensemble. From today’s perspective, it is an icon of American post-minimalism which has not lost any of its fascination.
Rhythmic precision, a large dynamic spectrum and a unique range of colors guarantee for an unforgettable listening experience.
For Samuel Beckett
1999 release - For fifty-five minutes the great American composer Morton Feldman weaves his tapestry of sounds, a pattern always the same and yet never the same, an iridescent, thick fabric, full of details, although these never distract the listener's attention. Feldman met Beckett only once in his life (though Beckett later sent him a postcard on which the composer discovered the text for his opera Neither). He created music of a beguiling tonality and beauty, inspired more by painting and lit…
Rispecchiato in Quarzo
Rispecchiato in quarzo, Dal nero immenso, lèvita, and Traspare assente albore unfold as structured sequences of transformation—transparent, hypnotic, fairy. Each solo instrument (piano, contrabass clarinet, bass flute) interacts with multi-layered electroacoustic textures built entirely from acoustic sources. These “electronics” remain sensitive and natural, shaped through breath, resonance, and subtle manipulations. An 1876 Steinway, spectral clarinet multiphonics, and whispered flute tones for…
A Dog Is a Machine for Loving
Hall’s debut merges field recordings, piano, spoken word, and spectral analysis to craft vivid soundscapes exploring kinship, intimacy, and trauma.
Tönendes licht
In tönendes licht., Klaus Lang imagines the Gothic cathedral as a resonating body shaped by the architectural principles of hierarchy and proportion. Performed by Wolfgang Kogert and the Wiener Symphoniker conducted by Peter Rundel, the work creates a unique interplay between the physical structure of the cathedral and the ephemeral presence of the music, evoking the medieval understanding of light and sound as pathways to the divine. Inspired by the ideals of Gothic art, Lang explores the conce…
Tenor
There are lots of outstanding Joe McPhee LPs. Nation Time being chief among them, but there's also Pieces Of Light, Oleo and Topology. The Poughkeepsie, New York-based multi-instrumentalist, by now an international star of free music, has amassed a daunting discography, no doubt. If you want to peer deeply into the soul of Joe McPhee, however, there's no way around it, you need to spend some quality time with Tenor.
" Tenor is McPhee's first solo record. He did not set out to make it. It was an …

Just Say The Faith
2024 stock. While an undeliable impression was left in Zoviet France, Robin Storey, a founding member of that seminal group and the man behind Rapoon has continued to leave giant footprints across the landscape of darkambient music. “Just Say The Faith” comes from a very cold and damp place, perhaps inside an ancient abandoned church, where long shadows fall across gnarled tree roots and forgotten voices echo from dusty corners. The colors are black and brown, the elements are Earth and Water, a…

Faust
Few debut albums arrive with the kind of self-contained logic and radical spirit found on Faust's self-titled 1971 statement. Released at the height of rock music's imperial phase, it marked the beginning of a project that would sidestep genre and expectation entirely, offering instead a fractured, exploratory take on what popular music could become. This Bureau B reissue offers a fresh opportunity to engage with one of the most curious and uncompromising records of its time. Faust emerged from …
