Moltitudine in Labirinto
Bomb! 200 copies, clear vinyl. Valuable vinyl reissue for this historic four-handed work by Gigi Masin and Giuseppe Caprioli. The concept of multitude combined with the figure/symbol of the labyrinth suggests orders of thought relating to the multiple states of being that inhabit the dark labyrinths of the soul, the hidden regions of the human psyche. All in Multitude In Labyrinth leads us to look for keys to understanding the ultimate meaning of a test as enigmatic as it is powerful. A congerie…
Seti Non Tael Tene
The encounter between Ramona Ponzini and Maurizio Bianchi yields a work poised on the threshold between evocation and vertigo: a sonic device unfolding through stratifications, resonances, and semantic as well as acoustic collisions.Maurizio Bianchi, a pioneer of the Italian industrial scene, chisels soundscapes built from abrasive, material noises, dissonant cadences, and atmospheres both dust-laden and rarefied yet simultaneously dense. The listener moves across these terrains as if navigating…
Northern Michigan Snowstorms
"Northern Michigan Snowstorms" is an auditory journey that captures the serene beauty and introspective magic of stormy winters nights in the countryside. Each track transports listeneres to cozy cottages nesteld in tall pines. Music that mirrors the serene solitude of a snowy evening, where time slows, allowing the listener to be enveloped in a cocoon of sonic wonder. Ambient layers mimic the gentle wishpering of the wind through snow covered branches. Eight tracks of blurry loops, soft pads, a…

Songs of Compassion
*300 copies limited edition* "Songs of Compassion" is a project by United States of Alchemy, bringing together Dorothy Moskowitz, Francesco Paolo Paladino and Luca Chino Ferrari in a musical landscape that moves between psychedelic balladry, chamber music and delicate electronic soundscapes. The album explores the shades of night and the subtle vibrations of an almost intangible emotional dimension, where music seems to arise from inner listening rather than from conventional compositional struc…
Dadayama
*300 copies limited edition* With "Dadayama", His Majesty The Baby presents a work that stands at the crossroads between music, sound poetry and the theatrical spirit of the historical avant-gardes. The project unfolds as a conceptual suite built from fragments, quotations, soundscapes and vocal interventions that openly engage with the traditions of Dadaism and Surrealism. The album is the result of a long creative process coordinated by Francesco Paolo Paladino, who also oversaw the artistic p…
Sea Songs
The compilation "Return to Acapulco - Music for Hotels Vol. 1" (13 / Silentes), curated by Vittore Baroni in the summer of 2024, included 16 songs composed by 16 musicians to provide soundtracks for the various areas of a typical seaside hotel.

Raising the bar, for the 2026 …
L'Uccello del Paradiso
Big Tip! These three previously unreleased tracks reflect the cultural influences of a very young Riccardo Sinigaglia. In particular, the Anti-psychiatry movement founded by Ronald David Laing, author of the influential books The Politics of Experience and The Bird of Paradise. As well as Jung's theory of archetypes, a subject explored in depth in the writings of Elémire Zolla. The compositional processes of concrete music are fundamental, while the extensive use of fragments from other cultures…
Voyeur Tape
101 Copies. Recorded in July 1980 and issued shortly thereafter on Andrew Cox's YHR Tapes with the catalogue number YHR 005, Voyeur Tape was the first MB cassette to cross the Channel into the British industrial underground, preceding by a matter of months its companion Cold Tape, which would follow on the same imprint as YHR 006 before year's end. Together the pair formed Maurizio Bianchi's decisive entry into the small mail-order network through which European industrial music was circulating …
Cold Tape
101 Copies. Recorded in the autumn of 1980 and originally issued the same year on Andrew Cox's YHR Tapes in the United Kingdom, Cold Tape marks the moment Maurizio Bianchi's music first crossed the Channel into the British industrial underground. After a feverish run of self-released cassettes that spring and summer under the MB name, working from his home in the Mantuan town of Pomponesco, Bianchi entered into correspondence with the small network of European cassette imprints that had begun to…
Atomique Tape
Edition of 101 copies. Recorded in June 1980 and self-issued the same year on cassette, Atomique Tape belongs to the legendary first wave of releases under the MB name, the moniker Maurizio Bianchi adopted that spring after closing his earlier project Sacher-Pelz. Across roughly twelve months, working from his home in the Mantuan town of Pomponesco, Bianchi produced an extraordinary run of self-released tapes that would, almost immediately, place him at the centre of the international industrial…
Industrial tape
This is where it begins. Recorded in May 1980 and self-released the same year as catalogue number 01, Industrial Tape is the founding document of the MB project, the first cassette Maurizio Bianchi issued under his new name after closing the Sacher-Pelz chapter. Working alone in his home in the Mantuan town of Pomponesco, twenty-four years old, equipped with little more than an analogue synthesiser, a tape machine, and a small bank of effects, Bianchi laid down four pieces that would set in moti…
There is no longer any turning back
There is no longer any turning back is an excerpt from ”The Aphorisms of Zürau”, a posthumous work by Franz Kafka. The work represents a path without obstacles, a descending abyss toward ourselves, toward the roughness of our deepest selves that we cannot explain and probably cannot confess. The individual track titles make up another excerpt by David Foster Wallace from an interview with David Lipsky: «The part of me that thought I was different or smarter or whatever almost killed me.»
All tra…
Below/Light
"Below/Light" by Filer Coleman is a selection of ambient works by Jim Filer Coleman. It represents an antidote, or perhaps a counterpart, to the more aggressive music that he may be more known for such as Cop Shoot Cop and Human Impact. These tracks were recorded over a span of a few years, slowly evolving and seeking definition. Electrocoustic in nature, the approach was always exploratory and playful, searching for balance and connection with the natural world.
Jim Coleman was an instrumental …
Frequencies In The Fog
Sound trails, minimal structures built with pads, discreet electronic elements, slow, deep and enveloping bass lines, backgrounds of confused voices treated in reverse, circular movements alternating with liquid stasis and quiet... Creaks on layered sound substrates of indecipherable nature, which seem to emerge from a thick blanket of fog that reveals fragments of real landscapes here and there, ready to disappear from view again after a few moments, once more hidden by clouds of steam in const…
Hydor LP
Up To 23 is an electronic music duo formed by Marco Buffetti and Francesco Fincato. “Hydor LP” is a sonic journey diving into the ever-changing nature of water. From vast seascapes to the depths of the underwater world, the album aims to capture the power and tranquility of this elemental force, shifting between dark tones, ethereal visions and cinematic moods. The last two tracks feature a collaboration with Enrico Coniglio, whose guitar parts lay a foundation for fluid and hypnotic soundscapes…
The Gentle Whale
The acquatic and marine imagery drawn by the titles and the artwork for “The Gentle Whale”, Francesco Lurgo’s second LP, the first one for Silentes, are a metaphor for a sound that is liquid and like the sea is constantly shifting from the quietness of intimate ambient moments to waves of maximalist sonic pressure, always looking with admiration to the creative world of contemporary soundtracks. From this sonic fluid, arpeggios and themes played by melancholic post-rock guitars and plucky synths…
The Defiance of Self
*200 copies limited edition* After "The Disintegration Of Silence", marked as a continuation of the work between visual artist Stefano Gentile and Belgian ambient musician Dirk Serries, Dirk returns to Stefano's Silentes/13 label with a new album, entitled "Defiance Of Self". In the wake of its predecessor, Dirk worked on this album in January 2024 using his motherboard of pedals and an electric guitar to create this slightly darker and experimental album. Once again performed and recorded entir…
Music For Bus Stations
Tip! Much needed repress! Music For Bus Stations is an astonishing work that pours into the soul of those allowing themselves to be transported in a dimension where sound turns into background noise. Sound becomes part of us, of our movements, our thoughts, our looks and our silences. There is no reason for resistance. Let's be silent. The noise around us is quite good.
"Generative sonic backdrop for bus stations. Designed to enhance space and portray a mod of progressiveness, grandeur, and ethe…
