Complete Acousmatic Works — Vol 1 (16CD Box)
Epic box set containing 16 CDs, presenting more than 40 works and 18 hours of listening, including never released before music by Denis Dufour and texts in a detailed booklet. There is a title buried in this collection that serves as its unspoken manifesto: Notre besoin de consolation est impossible à rassasier - Our Need for Consolation is Insatiable. Borrowed from Stig Dagerman, it names a 67-minute work from 1989, but it might equally describe the impulse behind this unprecedented undertaking…
Steady State
In a sonic dialogue that balances delicacy and depth, Clinton Green and Barnaby Oliver explore the shifting textures of acoustics and resonance. Employing bowed aluminum bowls, strings, and a grand piano, their work unfolds in patient layers that probe the very essence of sound and its environment, evoking an atmosphere of quiet tension and subtle transformation.
Ethiopian Modern Instrumental Hits
** Repressed, 180gram vinyl. Reissue of the original Ethiopian vinyl compilation. ** "Ethiopians' deep-seated ethiocentrism, the legacy of a thousand years of history, has contributed in no small way to their music's strong national identity, particularly impervious to any African influences. Latin influences, so pervasive in the great musical centers of West Africa and the Congo, have been similarly rebuffed, despite the brilliant attempts of a musician like Mulatu Astatke. He was the first and…

Talk to the Sea
2026 small repress. The highly-anticipated second release from the Music From Memory label takes you into the world of Italian musician Gigi Masin.

Having met with little commercial success in Italy at …

U TA
In November 2017, something extraordinary happened in Shibuya. As Shuta Hasunuma began conjuring otherworldly sounds from a single Buchla Music Easel modular synthesizer, Keiji Haino—one of Japan's most uncompromising experimental voices—responded by singing "Kimigayo," the Japanese national anthem. What started as an unplanned encounter between two visionary musicians has now crystallized into U TA, an album that brilliantly captures the haunting and complex interplay of Haino's resonant …
Ethiopian Urban Modern Music Vol. 2
2024 stock. Alèmayèhu Eshèté is no less than one of the great voices of the heyday of modern Ethiopian music, the swinging sixties which, in this country, went on until the fall of the Emperor Haile Sellassie 1 in 1974. On a par with Tlahoun Gèssèssè, Bzunèsh Bèqèlè or Mahmoud Ahmed, Alèmayèhu is a star at the top level of the constellation that once lit up the wild nights in the capital.

Le Diamant De L'Herbe
*Text in French* A short story by Xavier Forneret, set to music by Nurse With Wound. A wealthy Romantic, Xavier Forneret published his writings and theater at his own expense.

Could Le diamant de l'herbe, a short story here set to music by Nurse With Wound, seems to prove him right...
