Being Below
** 160g black vinyl record housed in a full color, reverse board jacket. Color labels. Record placed in white paper innersleeves. Limited edition of 150 copies ** Celer's Being Below is a mini-album of short songs created with digital and analogue instruments, recorded in 2020. Written with a structure that reflects shifting states, overlooking the past and future as a split pathway with the present endlessly fluctuating between. The pangs of rumination. An exercise in loop-less writing. Mastere…
Speak, You Also
When we can no longer move forward or look outward, some reflect and seek truth in themselves – some sharing, through the language of music, what might be impossible to say through words.
Ashvin

Aquilone Grattacielo DJ Mix
From Pacific City Discs, to you the listener, this summer, a DJ mix of fantasy and splash-energy is coming to you in a small edition of vinyl. Fantasy writer/recording artist, Francesco Cavaliere, while visiting his seaside childhood vacation location, was extended an impromptu invitation, to DJ an 80s swimming club. He had this to say about his experience:
“I was at Shangri-La and a boy and girl from the bathhouse in silver swimsuits and sand-colored streaks waved me over with a drink and aske…
Cannibal
Cannibal is the trio of artists-musicians Cary Loren, Cameron Jamie and Dennis Tyfus. Culled from a recording made live in Antwerp, each of the fifteen songs-episodes on this - their first - record is a protracted pulse of the band's energy and radical point of entry to a teeming flux of erratic electronics, deranged-incantatory narration, harmonica, jaw harp, dollar bin records, found poetry, vocal sound techniques, etc. A uniquely disorienting tour de force of the lower forms of music and a ha…
All Moments
NNA is proud to present our 50th release, Matt Carlson's All Moments long-playing record. Where 2011's Particle Language LP acted as a study in texture and density within experimental synthesizer music, All Moments finds Carlson engaging with the more traditional musical materials of melody, harmony, and rhythm, calling to mind his work as one half of Portland, OR duo Golden Retriever. The pieces on this record range from shorter pop études to longer, more open improvisatory synth studies, r…
Varispeed Hydra
* Limited edition of 300 * Los Angeles based artist Evan Caminiti returns with the follow up to 2017’s Toxic City Music. Living in the wrong timeline, dreaming of possible utopias; Varispeed Hydra beams in like a collection of broken transmissions, terrestrial sounds melting into the abstract and rising again as vaporous specters. Three years in the making, the album was recorded utilizing a variety of electroacoustic processes and honed in live performances ranging from the sound art setting of…
Introduction to an Apology
** Limited to 100 LPs, comes with a two-sided insert and download code ** The hallmark of Jason Calhoun's music--either under his given name or under the naps alias--is an emotional resonance that allows fragility and perseverance to occupy the same space. Though humble in his approach, calhoun has done something quietly extraordinary in building a body of work that, unlike so much music that seeks to transport you elsewhere, instead asks you to check in with yourself. Recent cassette releases …
Technicolor Skull
* Bloodred 180 gram LP, limited to 666 copies. * Technicolor Skull is an experiment in light and sound, exploring the psychic impact of a magick ritual in the context of an improvised performance. With Brian Butler on guitar and electronic instruments, and Kenneth Anger on theremin, their collaboration is a performance contained inside a ritual of unknown origin, tapping into occult stories that extend musical language into initiation. Hidden messages escape through gesture and light, manifestin…
Matiere
* Comes with a poster by artist Alice Gilardi * Light Of Other Days presents Noémi Büchi's debut Ep: «Matière». This album is the result of an extensive study with a modular synthesizer as her instrument of choice mixed with field recordings of sounds and noises surrounding her every day life . Apart from being a student of Electroacoustic Composition and listening to tons of music, Noémi finds most of her inspiration in long nature walks through nearby forests and foggy hills situated close to …
Departing In Descent
Anyone who's cast even the most casual eye over their ever expanding catalogue will have realised that one thing Past Inside The Present do best is bring artists together for unexpected and inspired collaborations. Departing in Descent is the first collaboration between James Bernard and Bvdub but their creative conversation effectively started as far back as 1994 when the latter bought Bernard's Atmospherics album in 1994 when it was "mistakenly stocked" in his local house music store. He says …
Papercuts Theater
"Operating from his base in Cincinnati, violinist and noisy dronester C. Spencer Yeh has released music under the name Burning Star Core for over 15 years. He’s worked with a long list of collaborators and toured extensively, the fruits of which resulted in Papercuts Theater. Broken into four equal parts (constituting four sides of the double-LP edition), the material collaged from shows recorded over the past seven years. If the release info is to be believed, Yeh used recordings from 66 differ…
Figures without ground
200 copies Figures Without Ground is the third in a series of three releases, across three labels and three formats, representing a total of six compositions. The first two releases in this series were Music for Cinema (cassette, YDLMIER), and Mild Disappearances (CD-R, Songs From Under the Floorboards, a sub-label of Intransitive Recordings). The two sides of Figures Without Ground represent a major transition from one mode of composition to another.
The cover of the album is a porcelain piece…
6
Repress on white wax limited to 165 copies. Bulbul's Manfred Engelmayr and Dieter Kernhave enjoyed an especially bizarre career path, having a stint on that great Austrian basecamp for laptop noise, Mego (their 2004 Drabule EP) and recording a further five albums within the past ten years. This latest record boasts a production job from Patrick Pulsinger and, perhaps least likely of all, guest spots from Carla Bozulich. That's right: Pulsinger and Bozulich together at last. The alt-country singe…
At The Door
Limited edition of 118 copies. Henning Lahmann on Ezra Buchla's At The Door: "Ezra Buchla creates immersive, intricate, and at times overwhelming soundscapes carried by masterful viola and synth renditions, broken up only by his dark yet soft, almost hushed voice."
Body Traffic
* 300 copies limited edition * Jon K and Elle Andrews’ MAL imprint returns with an LP from one of the London experimental underground's best kept secrets, Rory Salter aka Malvern Brume. His music is rare, eccentric and mysterious - somewhere between Coil's bleak ritual magick and the BBC Radiophonic Workshop's most experimental, minimal fringes. Malvern Brume operates just beneath the radar, occasionally turning up at Café OTO lineups and on a smattering of releases for Low Company, Alter, Infan…

Originally released in 1992, Der Abend Der Schwarzen Folklore is the third Massaker album, originally released by Rough Trade Germany. According to Caspar Brötzmann, the title track and Bass Totem are the band’s most accomplished songs. It’s certainly the most sonicly refined of their albums, recorded during a residency over several weeks at the pastoral site of Conny Plank’s studio near Cologne, and produced by Ingo Krauss and Bruno Gebhard, who had worked with the famed Krautrock producer unti…
Champ (10 operations)
Cello solo. Recorded on January 15, 1977. Originally released as a limited edition audio cassette (10 copies). Yves Bouliane studied double bass with Roland Desjardins at the Montreal Conservatory in the early 1970s. Not yet twenty, he had been improvising with Robert M. Lepage since 1969. Together, they formed the Trio Expansible, a group that evolved continuously in the early part of the decade (Roger Boudreau, Vincent Dionne and other improvisers succeeded one another during the few years tha…
Live im Haus des Rundfunks

After follow-up performances at the Bundeskunsthalle Bonn as well as the Hamburg Elbphilharmonie, Gregor Schwellenbach, Daniel Brandt, John Kameel Farah, Paul Frick, Erol Sarp and Kai Schuhmacher made a guest appearance at the invitation of Radio Berlin Brandenburg in the iconic Haus des Rundfunks…
Outros Espaço
The edition that marks the start of the brand-new Comets Coming, a label linked to Groovie Records and A Traineira, could not be more suitable: it is that Rodrigo Brandão, like his grandfather Herman Poole Blount, dust of stars that the world knows as Sun Ra, may have his feet on the Earth, but he has definitely a sidereal head.Brandão arrived recently to Portugal, but already left a strong mark in the most adventurous Lisbon scene, having performed several concerts in which his language has bee…
