Inaudible Works 1994-2008
What have we here? 16 pieces of hard-to-classify music, created during the period 1994-2008, a cornucopia of playful, intelligent, questing and eminently listenable electronic music from Osaka-born artist Hyu, who released two albums on Nobukazu Takemura's Childisc label, in 1999 and 2002. Although a member of the turn-of-the-century generation of artists subsumed under the rather vague term "electronica", his work stands apart in many ways, particularly in his unique exploration of microtonalit…

Uscire da Fuori
**Edition of 200** Electronic composer Marco Papiro confirms his eccentric and multifaceted personality. The sound articulation of his analog synthesizers flows into in an artificial hyperrealism of great thematic and expressive variation. The tracks unfold between ascending cosmic moments, more ecstatic meditative tones, symphonic planetary floods, exotic Afrodelic and psycho-Andean drifts. Papiro synthesises and converts echoes of acoustic wind instruments (oboe, recorders, bamboo flute), whil…
Troupe Asnimer & J.H. Burch
A trance-inducing journey into Morocco’s Ait Bouguemez valley: multi-instrumentalist J.H. Burch joins the all-female Troupe Asnimer to revive Amazigh oral traditions. Their hypnotic choral songs, enriched with global instrumentation, bridge ancestral ritual and contemporary sound.
Uranus - Tibetan Singing Bowls
** Edition of 300 copies ** In the late 1980s, Klaus Wiese (Popol Vuh) deepened his connection with Tibetan culture. The result is a series of works solely dedicated to the universal purity of the Singing Bowls. Uranus, perhaps the most rigorous of these, is an intense meditation on the trans-personal sphere of the VI chackra. The music becomes like a single harmonic chant, the reflection of a constant flow of divine light, which transforms the psyche and dilates the secret passages of the hear…
Hegel
Hegel by Lucio Battisti offers a boundary-pushing, introspective journey through philosophical concepts, poetic abstraction, and experimental electronics. Its eight tracks unfold with Panella’s cryptic lyrics, reflecting on beauty, identity, and the passage of time within meticulously programmed synth-pop arrangements. As Battisti’s final work, it stands as a compelling testament to the possibilities of Italian songwriting and sonic innovation.
Cosa Succederà alla Ragazza
Cosa Succederà alla Ragazza by Lucio Battisti deepens the exploration of electronic sounds and playful, surreal wordplay from Panella. The album, centered around the mysterious figure of the “girl,” combines pulsating, synthesized arrangements with a cut-up poetic style, producing a work both hypnotic and elusive. Through eight tracks, Battisti turns pop into a puzzle, rewarding repeated, attentive listening.
L'Apparenza
L'Apparenza by Lucio Battisti marks a pivotal moment in his career, expanding on electronic and lyrical experimentation begun in his Panella phase. The album’s multilayered arrangements and poetic ambiguity invite listeners into an abstract space, where meaning slips between lines and melodic innovation comes to the fore. With tracks like A portata di mano and Lo scenario, Battisti tests the boundaries of Italian pop, offering an album that is as challenging as it is rewarding.
Don Giovanni
Don Giovanni by Lucio Battisti redefines Italian pop with a distinctive synthesis of minimal electronic textures and enigmatic poetic imagery. With Panella’s elliptical lyrics foregrounded, the album resists straightforward interpretation, instead encouraging listeners to linger over its paradoxes and musical subtleties. Each track oscillates between melodic openness and experimental abstraction, weaving a soundscape that is both contemporary and timeless.
La Sposa Occidentale
La Sposa Occidentale by Lucio Battisti marks a further evolution in his sound, with surreally poetic lyrics from Panella and a sonic palette that merges synth-pop and dance electronics. The album presents a concept around a female protagonist, while adopting minimalist visual cues—a white cover with a stylized drawing—and delivering tracks of subtle complexity and rhythmic invention. The result is a sophisticated and enigmatic work that expands the boundaries of Italian pop.

Chitin
*50 copies limited edition* »Chitin« captures Berlin-based duo Narval (Peter Strickmann and Evgenija Wassilew) in a series of recordings made during a 2025 residency in the village of Schöppingen, Münsterland. Known for their use of everyday objects, self-built wind and percussion instruments, feedback systems, and small-scale electronics, Narval treat the performance space itself as a collaborator. In Schöppingen, this meant farmhouses, a parish church, a sculptor’s studio, and surrounding corn…
Roto
*50 copies limited edition* With »Roto«, Derek Piotr revisits the aqueous terrain first explored in his 2016 album »Drono«, where the paradox of water’s stillness and perpetual motion was refracted into looping voices and glitching textures. Conceived as a »spiritual successor« and recorded in 2019, the album has lain dormant for six years before surfacing on Discreet Archive. That stretch of silence seems to have deepened its charge – the sound feels unearthed rather than made, like a whirlpool…
Downriver
*50 copies limited edition* »Downriver« unfolds like a dérive through obscured geographies, echoing the psychogeographic journeys of Iain Sinclair. Just as Sinclair’s writing blurs the tangible and the imagined, Sequences, the project of Antwerp-based artist Niels Geybels, drifts into spaces where memory and environment overlap. Single-take recordings stretch into slowly mutating drones, fractured textures, and ghostlike voices that seem to seep in from unseen thresholds. The atmosphere is one o…
Who Owns The Dark?
Demdike Stare & Cherrystones unveil a long-in-the-making darkside fantasy weaving atmospheric and loose-limbed cuts recorded at labs in London and Manchester, brilliantly shaking a bush of ghostly trig points ranging from the Mars rehearsal tapes to Minimal Man, Randy Greif’s cut-ups, Conrad Schnitzler’s industrial prototypes and ‘70s ECM sides – with vocal contributions from Ssabae’s mesmerising Laura Lippie.
In dazed pursuit of styles heard on Cherrystones’ DDS tape ‘Peregrinations in SHQ (Sup…

Founded in 1981 by Bruce Licher and Mark Erskine in the underground parking garages of UCLA - …
