*50 copies limited edition* Torschlusspanik is the experimental moniker of the multi-talented, Tennessee-based artist Luna Mitchell. A follow-up to last year's "Intersexual Healing" on No Rent Records and her second release on Orb, this new tape features more of her unique and intricate style of sound collage that has come to be expected from this project. Garbled incantations, chopped field recordings, and the indecipherable in-between collide in beautiful, hectic harmony across these 8 new tra…

An exploration of the soundscape of coastal cities by the French-Lebanese artist.

First album in seven years from Maple Death Records founder James Jonathan Clancy (Italy/Canada), and the first under his birth name following previous ensembles His Clancyness (Fat Cat, Maple Death) and Brutal Birthday (Total Punk, Improved Sequence). In the interim between those projects and this latest, ‘Sprecato’, Clancy has refined and honed his vision —steadily and carefully drawing from a host of disparate influences to create a new kind of singer-songwriter album that bridges the divide …

*Limited edition of 200* Inspired by films he grew up watching and a passion for vintage recording equipment, Eyot Tapes has crafted ten pieces of music recording only to cassettes, using cassette loops, spring reverbs, tape delays and a modular synthesiser. Weaving in and out of different moods, with 'Edgar Rice Burroughs' stories never far from his mind, he takes you on a trip through an off world, tropical fantasy.

Penultimate Press is proud to present the debut vinyl release from Derek Baron. From Chicago, IL, now residing in Queens, NY Baron’s work muses on the interior and exterior via explorations of history, memory, listening, domestic ambience and the collective understanding of sound as amorphous matter. Crooked Dances presents a series of Erik Satie’s piano works as played in a flatshare with various interruptions by those who also contribute to the electricity, water and internet bills. It compris…

Their purpose is to offer guidance to grown-ups on how to have important conversations with children about sexuality, including masturbation, menstruation, the miracle of new life, and the wonders of marriage.

Tip! **Edition of 50** At the end of 2019 Jarra already surprised us with his IsoMonads tape, but now he ventures even deeper into the void with For A Moment Nothing Happens. One moment you can only perceive small and cautious footsteps moving through an inaccessible, icy universe, while the next an infernal cosmic mechanism switches into overdrive. Indeed, for a single moment nothing seems to happen, but then Jarra pulls out all the stops. Subtly and patiently he immerses his listener in a delu…

**80 copies** The Yorkshire based tape splicer and improvisor Stuart Chalmers has been using found cassettes to create his own sounds since his days playing with Cube Orchestra in Bristol. After moving to north east England, he has focused more on nature and sonic spirits – his latest effort for Ikuissuus has been recorded around various forests, mountains, bothies, shooting huts and old barns. "To truly understand nature you must lose yourself in it, but its then you actually find yourself. The…

*80 copies limited edition* Ikuisuus presents Lost In The Scenery by Sunhiilow

*70 copies limited edition* "Here are our musical ambitions given form by electric guitars, keyboards and digitally recorded loops. Here are also the ambiguities and uncontrollable elements of life. You’ll hear the late summer wind in the background, the wind-chimes hanging from the garden shed, the kids’ feet walking over the gravel, their voices in the distance. Both worlds make this single-take live recording a whole." - Opal SatelliteRecorded on August 22nd, 2022 in Hämeenkyrö, Finland

Vinyl edition of this American ambient modern classic.

**2024 stock. Edition of 200 with hand-numbered insert.** In the crowded field of guitar droneworks, UK musician Lee Stokoe could be said to be hidden in plain sight. For two decades, his solo project Culver and in-house tape label Matching Head have produced a consistent stream of releases without approaching anything near household-name status. This is due in part to a workmanlike, low-profile approach to recording and releasing music, despite time served in the mighty Skullflower. And then th…

In the last few years Tibor Szemző has been revising some of his past recordings, rearranging, changing instrumentation, remixing and remastering them for new releases on vinyl LP on his Fodderbasis label. Now he is releasing a new limited edition of the album “Invisible Story” on a 10’’ vinyl EP. The title refers to the collection of essays by Béla Hamvas (1897-1968) published in 1943. Hamvas was an outstanding Hungarian thinker even in the European context. Due to his anti-materialistic concep…

*In process of stocking* Technology for the Afterlife (aka Victor Groth) is an ambient/new age artist from Denmark, set to release his debut album Interpretations of Eternity on Cracki Records. The instrumental album explores the frontiers between faith and knowledge, consciousness and oblivion, past and future. It is about longing for a time when rationality and spirituality are not arch enemies, but one and the same. When there is neither science nor religion: Only mythology.

*2022 stock* “Il corpo” is the last movie of Luigi Scattini’s trilogy, which started with “La ragazza dalla pelle di luna” (1972) and then continued with “La ragazza fuoristrada” (1973), all skillfully orchestrated by maestro Piero Umiliani. Here we are dealing with an erotic-noir film which has many elements in common with movies like “Ossessione” (“Obsession) or “I diabolici” (Les Diaboliques) and it centres on the relationship between Enrico Maria Salerno and the sensual Zeudi Araya. Inevitab…

*300 copies limited edition* The fourth episode of the Test Pressing series compilations includes tracks from such artists as Memotone, Giuseppe Ielasi, Andrew Pekler, Roméo Poirier, Nikolaienko, Felix Kubin, Jake Muir, Felicity Mangan, Star Searchers, and Tarotplane. The first episode was released in 2012 as a debut Muscut record named so and intended to become a label trial, a test of the audience to check whether the world needs one more label with the following episodes in 2018 (Test Pressi…

This one takes us back! We originally reissued Waltel Branco's 'Meu Balanço' in 1995, it was one of the first releases to come out on Mr Bongo. It is a much-requested title with original copies becoming ever more-scarce and the price tag increasingly rising, so it feels fitting to present this stunning record once again for all to enjoy. Waltel Branco was born in Paranaguá, Brazil in 1929 and died in Rio de Janeiro in 2018. During his triumphant career he accumulated an impressive musical portfo…

*2022 stock. Limited edition of 90 copies. Includes an audio tape, comes with old scripts and is wraped in paper used at the performances which the recording is based of.* Only source for this recording is the sounds created at our rituals. Those sounds have been dissected and forged into a sonique dreamscape. Most of the instruments used at our performance include the human body in one way or another. For example my heartbeat during suffocation, brainwaves at the moment of piercing and thereaft…

With 2020 hindsight (and magic mics), we spy Wand in their late Plum/Laughing Matter quintet style, rolling up the west coast and rolling out the magic carpet. These nights spent communing with the crowds and jamming toward infinity (fittingly) promise that we’ll meet again, on nights like these further down the Möbius strip. But you knew this!!!

*2023 stock* On Pedro Vian's second album, the now Amsterdam-based artist opens up a new sonic chapter of his life, running through depths of emotions and feelings, traversing moments of euphoria, fury, serenity, hope and love. Recorded between 2014 and 2018, the self titled LP opens with a melodic flourish, drops down through mournful vocal driven pieces and lands on fast moving synths across a set of 12 deeply personal tracks. A follow up to Vian’s 2016 acclaimed debut album “Beautiful Things …

"The second LP of the band was posthumously released on Flamophone in 1970. It was released as a double LP that collected all their single & EPs output plus other material recorded during the band's short life-span. Great echoes of The Bee Gees are heard on their early 7" releases, but again retaining a strong own personality that makes it difficult to find such a unique sound in other bands. A double LP housed in a gatefold colorful sleeve in a limited edition of only 500 copies, plus an insert…

*2024 stock* Briefly, Ballare is an artist’s book created by Riccardo Benassi as a response to an unexpected and enlightening event: in a Museum visitors’ book the signatories made complaints – which soon turned to anger – with regard to a work by the artist in question. So Riccardo Benassi decided to transform an apparent obstacle into an actual trampoline, doing so in story form. The artist attempts to analyse the succession of events, his role as cultural operator in contemporary society and …

*Italian Language Edition* Era un pomeriggio assolato del maggio 1974 quando Roberto si ritrovò in un mercatino di ferri vecchi a Milano e… fu amore a prima vista. Non sapeva a cosa gli sarebbe servito quel vecchio e rugginoso tavolino, ma si fece guidare dalla sua passione per gli oggetti stravaganti e lo acquistò. Scopri il giro del mondo con un tavolino da Milano a Roma, poi Pisa e Venezia, e ancora Parigi, Berlino, Londra, Amsterdam, fino a New York.

*2024 stock*  Mottled sausages, icy landscapes with worms that seem to have died trying to make it over hurdles, portals to impossible lands: welcome to the accidental world of ceramist and drawer Anne Brugni. Anne Brugni's workspace resembles a sort of paper autopsy gone wrong, with marbled organs, multicolored hides and strange texts scrawled in shaky brushed script scattered around. We are witnesses to a new sort of Frankenstein, who pieces all of these disparate parts together to create new …

** Edition of 200. Artist book + CD ** n the year 2018 visual artist Ken Verhoeven presented his Friendship Paintings, a collection best described as “deconstructed designs for friendship bracelets”, at Trampoline gallery in Antwerp. The subject: the friendship bracelet. A wristband infused with meaningful (?) symbols. Symbols crafted thread after thread. One pulls a string, and … friendship happens. Or … friendship is being manipulated by symbolism. Not unlike a fetish. Ken Verhoeven upcycled t…

*Tiny Edge Wear* Very nice artists' book by Eric Lunde of poetry and wood-block prints.

It reveals the relationship between exclusively graphical scores and formulated sound collages. From the series Art & Theory of Künstlerhäuser Worpswede, Vol. 10.

“Force yourself to see more flatly.” - Georges Perec, Species of Spaces ‘The Broads’ is the name given to a wetland region of eastern England. The broads themselves are shallow lakes, formed from flooded medieval peat excavations, set alongside or within the courses of the rivers Ant, Bure, Thurne, Waveney and Yare. Navigation, holidays and nature conservation have shaped the region, with tensions arising from differing assumptions about what the Broads landscape has been, is and might be. The R…

I first saw these printed diagrams and drawings over thirty years ago, and the particular care and certainty they convey has remained with me since. Geoffrey Hutchings published just a handful of books, all addressing the search for geographical and topographical truths, and for the ways of recording and depicting these truths precisely and economically by the handwritten word and line. In addition to his contribution to the development of the teaching of field studies in Britain in the late 194…

Presented in tri-fold digipak sleeve. Alga Marghen presents the "sixSIXsix"th installment of its Golden Research Charlemagne Palestine archive series: CharleBelllzzz at Saint Thomas. These previously unreleased recordings of Palestine's "Bells Studies" are both some of his earliest recordings and some of his darkest and most accomplished works. In 1963, while attending The High School of Music & Art in New York, the 15-year-old Palestine was asked if he'd be interested in playing a 26-bell caril…

*Limited to 231 hand numbered copies* The Universal Veil is a duo comprised of Sam McLoughlin (Twisted Nerve/Pre-Cert Home Entertainment) and Folklore Tapes head honcho David Chatton Barker. Their improvised live performances with their own handmade "ritual instruments" are by turns meditative, trancelike, joyous and surreal. Helios/Hind is a fascinating sonic artifact which unearths lo-fi cassette recordings from several years of past performances and weaves them together into a new whole, usin…

Black Truffle is delighted to offer up a rare serving of unheard works by legendary Swiss artist Anton Bruhin. Active as a visual artist, poet, and musician since the 1960s, Bruhin has created important work in forms as varied as concrete poetry and landscape painting, imbuing everything he does with wit, humility, and absurdist humour. A recognised master of the jew’s harp (or Trümpi, as this ancient folk instrument is known in Swiss German), Bruhin’s sound work also encompasses tape collage, s…
