Asymmetrical Music
The new cd with Norwegian composer Eivind Buene and his composition, asymmetrical music. This is Sofa first release with a written score, but it doesn't mean that improvisation is abandoned. On the contrary, asymmetrical music focuses on the meeting point between composition and improvisation. The two soloists, Ivar Grydeland guitar and Ingar Zach Ð percussion, are improvising as a duo but also on another level, with the written score. The members of the Ensemble featured on this disc are also v…
Complete Piano Music Vol. 10 - Etcetera
“The interpreter is a very important person indeed in Cage’s piano music, and a top international expert like Steffen Schleiermacher is a must for a complete recording such as this one: he knows the nuts and bolts and all the fine nuances.”
Angel Tears in Sunlight
Angel Tears in Sunlight is Pauline Anna Strom’s first album in over thirty years; an assemblage of music that refracts the expansiveness, and minutiae, of imagined realms while embracing the kaleidoscopic echoes of our distant epochs.
The capacity to collapse time might elucidate the enigma of Pauline Anna Strom. A mystic force in music, emerging during the dawn of new age as the Trans-Millenia Consort, the pioneering synthesist channelled primordial energies into future-facing sound through a s…
De Tragedie Van Een Liedjesschrijver Zonder Woorden
*2022 stock. 300 copies limited edition* “De tragedie van een liedjesschrijver zonder woorden” (The tragedy of a song writer without words) is the first normal CD by Orphax. This album contains music that has been written between April 2005 and July 2007 and retouched again in 2008 and 2010. The period these songs were written was one with many transitions in the live of van Erve. It was the end of his student years, the begin of his working years, a period where he struggled with an at that tim…
The Fire Still Burns
** 2021 Stock ** 45 years after his debut album Valley of Search (1975/India Navigation), jazz saxophonist Alan Braufman returns. The Fire Still Burns has that gritty, forthright sensibility we hope to hear in sonic collaborations borne out of beauty and struggle, but there’s a populist ease that comes with age and reflection. Put simply it’s natural music – complementary, individual, and full of the sweet, hot taste of celebration.
Metabolism: A Salute To The Energy Of The Sun
Another offering from fringe pop combo BIRD NAMES. The band is a duo, of sorts, comprised of PHELAN LA VELLE & DAVID LINEAL, though a cast of characters have helped them along. They explore a pop sound that touches as much on the naïve as it does the borders of avant-experimentation. The album is 12 songs of Beach Boys "Smiley Smile", psychedelic rhythms, & dense, lo-fi pop songcraft.(SAKI)

Putredini Obnoxius
'Putredini Obnoxius' was the tenth Capricorni Pneumatici album, originally composed in 1991 for the Portuguese label Putrefactio but never published at the time. 26 years later it comes to light in this first edition, released from the original 1992 master tape. This CD is part of CP 30th anniversary releases. A "lost album" therefore, for the Milanese duo dedicated to a ritual ambient and psycho acoustics fused with ideas gleaned from the writings of Aleister Crowley. The manipulated voice of …
Predictability Failure
Sergey Senchuk aka Tungu was born in Chernihiv, Ukraine in 1999. He started playing in the spontaneous-intuitive band Kollektiv, and in the hard core bands Remorse and Keepleer 18. He begun to record using the nickname Tungu with his first release "Opus Hereticus"in 2013. His idea was to make of Tungu a project that would contain field recordings, cut ups, samples and live instruments. Four albums were recorded since then : "Dense arrays" 2014, "Ilf and Petrov with us" 2016, "Burst of exsessive …

I Try To Be Another Dancer
"Brussels is a highway where rainbow-fuelled melancholia kids race its track, mountain and road bikes. Endless summers cherish the collective chosen chaos of the city; every corner displays wild micro-natures, buzzing insects, and rare weeds fourishing organically; tape hiss and AM radio compression are the soundtrack of everyday life. And hear! Originated in the Brussels DIY, indie rock and noise scene, a new kid on the block appears: Another Dancer.
They deal in utopian music - of the open, we…

Klaipėda
*200 copies* Klaipėda is located in the west of Lithuania, right on the shores of the Baltic Sea. I lived there from September 2011 until July 2012 and during those months I was regularly recording in the city and the surrounding rural areas. I got very fond of these locations and all the sounds I recorded are very significant and dear in my memory. Throughout the changes of the seasons, varying between human-made and industrial to “natural” sounds caused by birds, water, wind or plants, the aco…
My Greatest Love
CD version. We Release Jazz present a reissue from Geneva's Boillat Thérace Quintet, the My Greatest Love album, featuring bebop and hard-bop legend Benny Bailey and available for the first time since 1975.

One band that beautifully captured this energy was Jean-François Boillat and RaymondThérace's Boillat Thérace Quintet whose self-t…
