Construcao
Construção (Portuguese for 'Construction') is the eighth studio album by Brazilian singer-songwriter Chico Buarque, released in December 1971. It was composed in periods between Buarque's exile in Italy and his return to Brazil. Lyrically, the album is loaded with criticisms of the Brazilian military dictatorship, especially with regard to the censorship imposed by the government at the time. It is widely regarded by music critics as one of the greatest Brazilian albums of all time.
Sonidos Y Modulaciones De La Selva
Italian sound artist Marco Shuttle debuts on Astral Industries with AI-39. Alluring and evocative, ‘Sonidos y Modulaciones de la Selva’ is a journey deep into the Amazon rainforest, seeking to capture its power and vastness, but also a rumination on the problem of its impending destruction.
In this album Shuttle sees the continuation and further ripening of an ongoing creative process, utilising both audio and visual documentations as source material. On this occasion most of the field recording…

The Pavilion of Dreams
2025 repress. For five decades, Harold Budd stood on the forefront of the West Coast avant-garde. Born in Los Angeles, he studied with Schoenberg-pupil Gerald Strang and began teaching at CalArts in 1970. While searching for his own voice, he was influenced as much by abstract expressionist painters as by John Cage and Morton Feldman. In his work, Budd brought delicate, slowing-moving melodies to the foreground – creating a new musical language based on “eternally pretty music” and smooth surfac…

New Forces is proud to present Richard Ramirez Volume 1, a 5-CD boxset compiling some of the best work by noise legend Richard Ramirez.
Depli
It's probably safe to call Mr. Andre Almuro an unsung hero. And while his scantly available catalog certainly provides reason why, its contents offer ample argument to the contrary. Not long after the conclusion of his apprenticeship to Pierre Schaeffer, he began crafting in what could easily be called the Almuro aesthetic: sparce pieces built from limited sound elements, often timbrally altered percussive sounds, slowly paced and coated thick in reverb and tape echo.While Dépli does not quite m…

Recorded by Christoph Heemann in Aachen, Germany at the Ludwig Museum in 2000 on the occasion of the 1000 year celebrati…
The Wrong Echo
2010 release ** "Canadian sound artist Steve Bates works with hi- and lo-tech instrumentation and equipment to produce a restrained, delicately abstract electronica. ”Everywhere Little Explosions” encapsulates his methodology: a two-note piano motif is looped and fed through distorting baby monitors and computer software until it becomes a sort of psych-fuzz mantra. Bates favours sounds that confound the ear by occupying the exact midpoint between the synthetic and the natural, such as the digit…

After his first album, "Osci" (LP, SmallVoices 2005), produced by Gianluca Becuzzi, he got a lot o…
