*100 copies limited edition* 'Infinite Branches' explores multi-textural sound illustrations that encompass an array of calm tones and gentle movements.

Mastered by Taku Unami. "I bathe in the lake and walk through the forest in the rain. Sleeping outdoors, I feel as though I’m closer to the Earth. How do we maintain connection with each other? How do we communicate in ways that transcend language? I often reflect that so many of us are trapped in our own cult…

Though modern, “avant-garde” jazz is an ensemble music often based on collective improvisation, solo performance is its own extraordinarily fruitful sub-area of investigation for the creative improviser. Without a reactive, interpretive partner (or several), the solo recital blurs the lines between composition and improvisation as the performer enters a world of unfettered development. Greene has been performing and recording solo since the 1970s, and these settings have yielded some of t…

Following well-received releases on labels such as Satatuhatta, Krim Kram, and White Centipede Noise, Cyess Afxzs debuts a new series based on the novels of Philip K. Dick. It is tempting to describe this work as post-noise. But such verbiage is reductive at best.

This is a cassette released by American noise artist Dead Door Unit from the country's experimental/noise label Tribe Tapes in April 2024. Contains two 2-minute Lo-Fi junk harsh noise songs using field recordings and tapes. A sound lover's feast. The reincarnation of the individual sounds would be enough but the scalpel is applied in broader strokes.

"The weave of events rises and falls creating an undulating flow like a living river of aural dramas." 46-minute program, handmade packagingJohn Olson, Max Julian Eastman, Creighton Jenkins

*2024 stock* This album recorded in 1967 by the Electronic Music Studio (EMS) of the University of Toronto exemplifies early experimentations in electronic music. It was the first studio of its kind in Canada (founded by Dr Arnold Walter) and the second in the North American Continent. The abstract songs are eerily captivating. Liner notes include explanations of how the songs were created, as well as biographical information on the members of the EMS.

Renowned as both choreographer and dancer, Merce Cunningham (1919–2009) also revolutionized dance through his partnerships with the many artists who created costumes, lighting, films and videos, and décor and sound for his choreographic works. Cunningham, together with partner John Cage, invited those artists to help him rethink what dance could mean, both on the stage and in site-responsive contexts. His notion that movement, sound and visual art could share a “common time” remains one of the m…

Quartet Records, in collaboration with GDM and EMI General Music, presents a completely revised and remastered edition of Ennio Morricone’s classic score for the 1974 French polar directed by Robert Enrico and starring Jean-Louis Trintignant, Marlène Jobert and Philippe Noiret. As the United States was brewing its own Watergate scandal, American filmmakers reflected on corrupt politics with the cultivation of the paranoia thriller—movies where singular protagonists come up against vast governmen…

Tip! *In process of stocking* "On "When the Streets Were Quiet", composer, bassist, and bandleader Max Johnson turns the focus to his finely wrought chamber music. Active in many contexts, Johnson is voraciously eclectic and impressively versatile. The works on this collection betray little overt reference to his wide range of stylistic activities, instead zeroing in on his craft centered approach to composition. With an emphasis on counterpoint, imitative textures, structural markers defined by…

This is his sixth solo album. "My work in the past five years has been grounded in recording and playing outdoors, trying to communicate the meaning of being in a particular location and finding meaning in interacting with whatever sounds or elements are equally present. I'm still excited by all of it! This …

*2023 stock* The first album by the Teru Sakamoto Trio, whose beautifully lyrical piano music has enjoyed exceptionally long sales. This is a new standard work of Japanese jazz that is highly acclaimed even overseas.

Composed and recorded at the edge of the Sahara, Jeff Burch searches here for an unfamiliar beauty in old timbres. As a child of migration, over the course of this new work he transfigures pre-mercantilist folk song of nomadic deserts, through to the deep meditations of our early cities.   With the strength and shape of eternity, hushed voices and yawning flutes ascend to radiant vibrations of levantine string and tamazgha percussion; coalescing in a seductive din that traces great arcs across o…

“I guess this is my indie rock record,” jokes Chicago electronic musician and composer Brett Naucke - he’s referring to his new LP Mirror Ensemble, created in conjunction with Windy City mainstays Natalie Chami (TALsounds) and Whitney Johnson (Matchess). The album is still leagues outside the confines of “indie rock,” and yet - with its embrace of other collaborators and robust instrumentation - it’s a major departure from his earlier, fully synth-based output, even if modular synthesizers still…
