Concert For Bats,Voices And Natural Sounds
*200 copies limited edition* In an alternate universe, Italian sound archaeologist Mariolina Zitta would be recognized alongside Bernie Krause's bioacoustic investigations and Pauline Oliveros's deep listening practices. This rare vinyl edition - limited to 200 copies - reveals an uncompromising researcher of prehistoric sound working at her most intimate and visionary best. At the close of the 1980s, Zitta abandoned conventional musicology for a singular obsession: excavating the acoustic orig…
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…
Monastero
*75 copies limited edition* Emerging from the resonant stillness of a centuries-old monastery, Monastero unfolds as a series of improvised modern compositions — each track a spontaneous dialogue between space and sound. The instrumentation drifts fluidly between structure and abstraction, allowing reverb-soaked tones and percussive textures to breathe and bloom within the natural acoustics of stone walls and vaulted ceilings, giving the music a haunting, sacred dimension.
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.
Le Camion De Marguerite Duras
*100 copies limited edition* "The road is a wrinkled timeline. Uncanny flatness conceals unfolding textures, transparent layers and open tabs. The truck cuts the landscape, tracing the road with a line of mad logic that composites time, space, thought. On “Le Camion de Marguerite Duras,” French duo Jean-Marie Mercimek have returned with a road movie for the blind. Composed and recorded by Marion Molle and Ronan Riou over six years across France and Belgium, this unlikely distillation of microton…
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…
