New Directions In Music 2
Morton Feldman’s New Directions in Music 2 is one of the true cornerstones of modern classical music. Originally released in 1959, the album captures Feldman at the very beginning of his radical journey into sound, space and silence, developing the sparse, floating language that would go on to influence generations of experimental composers and ambient musicians alike. With cover artwork by abstract painter Philip Guston and clear parallels to the chance-based ideas of John Cage, the record perf…

These themes, often presented with a prophetic tone, resonate with …

What emerges is a porous sonic territory shaped by memory, landscape, and experiment…

Nothing ever changes except the means through which this successful illusion is maintained.

From the anointing ritual of ecstatic pain engrafting the mental germ, to its own epiphany, and to the final revelation: the w…

Grain of Light
*150 copies limited edition* Robin Storey’s journey through sound is inseparable from the evolution of post-industrial and experimental ambient music itself. As a founding member of the seminal collective Zoviet France, formed in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1979, Storey helped shape a new sonic vocabulary that blended ritual abstraction, primitive sampling, and immersive atmospheres. When Storey launched his solo project Rapoon in 1992, he distilled that experimental spirit into a more introspective …
Vala, or the Four Zoas
On Vala, Or The Four Zoas, Capricorni Pneumatici push their FM-synthesis ritualism to a more dreamlike, narrative plane, fusing DX7 and CX5 timbres, cave-born concrète, and ascetic tape manipulations into one of their most enigmatic, Blake-shadowed works.
Trad, Gras Och Stener: A Collective History (Book)
Huge Tip! 400 pages, 387 Images. The story of the legendary Swedish psych rock band Träd, Gräs och Stenar is also a defining story of alternative culture. Across multiple incarnations, the musicians of this iconic group (whose name translates to “Trees, Grass and Stones”) have drawn on their roots in jazz and the avant-garde, the iconoclastic art and theater of the 1960s, and the back-to-the-land “green wave” movement to blaze a pioneering trail across fifty years of endlessly improvisational, r…

Mystic Siva
Formed in 1967 in Detroit, the band Mystic Siva consisted of four teenagers - none older than fifteen - who released a single self-titled album, recorded in a single day in 1970 at the band's self-managed V.O. Studios.

Second Sight
Whenever the term “Free Jazz” gets mentioned, the same questions more or less present themselves: “Is this easy to listen to?” “Is there structure, or is this just a few friends playing over each other?” “Is this another Coleman/Taylor/Dolphy homage?” Yes; yes; maybe—who cares? Free Jazz is (in my definite opinion) the last bastion of music (and maybe even art as a whole) where true innovation is not only still possible but also extremely well-executed—if done right. Enter “Second Sight” by Oslo…
