Saturno Magico (LP)
Brazilian-American power trio São Paulo Underground (Rob Mazurek, Mauricio Takara, Guilherme Granado) align their chakras with Tenerife electronic pranksters Tupperwear (Mladen Kurajica, Daniel Garcia) for an anything goes EP session of tropical jazz, Chicago post rock, and general head scratching psych chants. Recorded live in 2016 in a disused kerosene tank in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands after a week-long residency. Now recompiled by the Keroxen label and presented here in its ripes…
King of Keyboard
LP edition of Rizan Said's King of Keyboard, originally released as a CD by Beirut-based Annihaya Records in 2015 (END 011CD). Reissued by Discrepant in collaboration with Annihaya. ''There is no other Syrian dabke musician that has enjoyed the local, regional, national, and international recognition that Rizan Said has, and for that, the world is lucky. Rizan is a musical ambassador from a disappeared Syria, and this is not to be taken lightly. Once upon a time, not too long ago, Syria w…
D-A-D
Maybe it’s too much to ask for a moment of your attention. As we grow older and keep diving into this era of information, disinformation, fake news and all that, we also tend to take a step back and listen to the intents of those social media adverts that tell us to slow down, breathe in, breathe out, enjoy everything around you a little bit. So, if it’s not too much to ask, you can press play and start enjoying D-A-D. If you’re doing that, you can even stop reading this, because you don’t need …
Stridulations
For stridulations, Pali Meursault confronts recorded and performed sounds, composition and improvisation: field- recordings of animal communication (insects, birds and bats recorded in France, Japan and South America over almost ten years) mix and dialog with the ‘sonification’ of fluorescents tubes. Orthoptera, hemiptera and chiroptera recorded in Japan, France and Brazil between 2007 and 2016. Electromagnetic fields of prepared fluorescent tubes sonified with pick-up coils and process…

Onta
“Pogus is very pleased to release its second recording by composer Dimitri Voudouris, a South African composer of Greek birth. As Massimo Ricci wrote in his Touching Extremes review of the first Pogus release: "Voudouris is interested in the 'research of cognitive psycho-acoustic behavioral patterns in humans and the behavior of sound in relationship to continued environmental changes'. Don't let the composer's difficult description fool you into thinking about some kind of cerebral pretentiousn…
Empty Pool To No One
**Edition of 200** Here, Asha Sheshadri and Christian Mirande record together as Open Corner. Vocal accounts of mundane suburbia and human despondency by Asha, under a woven forest of pops and cracks and creaks courtesy of Christian. In a way the texts are reminiscent of Robert Ashley's Au Pair pieces -- from the second Atalanta CD (LCD 3303CD) -- overrun by the swamp of a broken dishwasher and a leaking wine fridge. Emotionally and sonically claustrophobic. A unique take on voice and sound: in-…
Slime Zone
Slugfield is a trio with Maja Ratkje, Lasse Marhaug and Paal Nilssen-Love. They've been playing for some years, but the first release is available now.
Dun

Exquisite music by a trio described in The Wire as 'three young musicians re-inventing improvised music'. Matt Davis and Bechir Saade, who are quietly building reputations for themselves as two of the rising stars of the improv world, are joined by newcomer Matt Milton whose quiet, careful violin playing underpins these three beautiful pieces.
First recordings: 1950s
A remarkable discovery of over 75 minutes of Morton Feldman's music. This disc represents 13 unrecorded early works spanning 1950 to 1953, many previously unpublished. Highlights: his only works for magnetic tape, 'Intersection,' realized in 8-channels by Feldman with John Cage and Earle Brown. Considered lost, the work has been restored and presented here for the first time in 40 years. Also: his score for 2 cellos to Hans Namuth's film of Jackson Pollock, presented in its entirety including na…
Saturations
Saturations is a composition by Danish multidisciplinary artist Niels Lyhne Løkkegaard, and features a clarinet choir consisting of 19(!) clarinet players. Niels Lyhne Løkkegaard (b. 1979) considers his work to be a basic research in realities working within the domains of imaginary & physical sound as well as other non-sonic media, and since 2012 Niels Lyhne Løkkegaard has experimented with creating music that lets the instruments transcend their inherent sonic norms and reappear in another for…
After Hours
The much-anticipated blast-off release for Charles Speer and his band. Recently rewarded 5 stars in Time Out mag by the music editor, this album is a landmark in laid-back blues and country songwriting, feat. members of NNCK and Sunburned.
Movement

For several years, Herndon lived and learned techno music as party dweller and performer, eventually returning wide-minded to the States to pursue a Masters in Electronic Music at Mills College. Under the guidance of network pioneer John Bischoff, Roscoe Mitchell, and …
Shades of Eternal Night
Field Recordings from Syros, Greece and Southern California in 2015 and 2017. Piano performed by Reinier van Houdt, recorded in The Wild Beast, CalArts, June 2015Inside image by Michael Pisaro / Thanks to Keith Rowe.The sounds come and go against a backdrop of silence and stillness; the silences aren’t long but there’s a definite sense of a canvas only partially filled. Frequently, sounds are allowed to reverberate and decay into nothingness. It’s perhaps this quality that most communicates a se…

Recyclopaedia Britannica
** 2021 Stock ** Sucata Tapes presents Recyclopaedia Britannica by People Like Us. Amazing to think it is almost 20 years later that we write this. This represents an earlier life of PLU, some of which carries through to now, some left long behind... We've supplied artwork and text (by Drew Daniel, Steve Thrower and Graham Duff) for both versions of the release.
“The work of People Like Us rests gingerly between two dangerous positions: on the one hand, the risk of fashioning merely stylish past…
Le Marais
Besoins Premiers presents the Le Marais. Once upon a time in a strange, distant world... Three characters Anouar, Guillaume, Jacques and their acolytes went in search of the original swamp to make a break with the urban beliefs. From an urgent need to leave town for a journey, they said to me that a call of the forest leads their willing. Le Marais as one named it in French, is a place of stagnant water, generally shallow and invaded by aquatic or herbaceous vegetation. It is an uncommon wetlan…
La Morte Young
* Limited Edition of 200 hand-numbered copies * Exit the haunted by the desolation latent drones of their previous productions: guitars and electronics in the red, screamed voice in walls of hyper-free noise, La Morte Young piles up the abrasive strata and breaks all the dikes with anger, offering an atomized vision of rock, as a reprise of the beginning in a primitive and violent version, only for the duration of a stunning 7’’. Philippe Robert
