Out (Version) / Love (Version)
Modern Love with a new 7” series reserved for asymmetric bangers and pop diversions, opening with a double A-side from Andy Stott, his first single in 11 years. Inna bare, dancehall style ‘Out (Version)’ on the A side feels out skeletal drums and stabs for a pure adrenaline rush in the dance. On the AA, ’Love (Version)’ cranks martial drums for propulsion; a euphoric rhythm searching for a vocal. Aye it’s a special one. Some heat coming in this series, keep it locked.
Ein schwärzeres Schwarz
The two tracks featured here are a further development from the Die letzte Musik vor dem Krieg 7" (DS70) using the new work with piano sounds and it's one of the best works of Organum yet in our opinion. Edition of 500.
"Pop" Record / Evolving
"Pop Record/Evolving" is a unique 7-inch vinyl single by Roger Clark Miller, released on RRRecords in 1994. It transforms the pops, clicks, and surface noise from worn records into an evolving sound composition.
Originally conceived in 1985 as a one-of-a-kind acetate under Fun World Product 003, the RRRecords edition pressed 1,000 copies, now out of print (OOP). Inspired by John Cage and Marcel Duchamp, Miller isolates these "flaws" as source material, allowing the record to change with each pla…
Arne Nordheim: Selected Works for Television 1967-1974
Arne Nordheim (1931-2010) is widely regarded as Norway’s best-known composer after Edvard Grieg. But did you know that he was a multidisciplinary artist and that his work inspired several of the country’s greatest visual artists? Arne Nordheim’s art extends way beyond the confines of music. Throughout his life, he also worked closely with other art forms, such as theatre, fine arts, ballet, film, literature, architecture and installation art. In 1955, a journalist asked the young, up-and-coming …
I-I
We are thrilled to introduce the world to the innovative sounds of the Japanese improvisational music trio ‘I-I’. Composed of three exceptionally talented musicians, Kazuhisa Uchihashi (guitar, daxophone, pedals), Mitsuhisa Sakaguchi (synthesizers, pedals) and Tatsuhisa Yamamoto (percussion).

If You Can't Wander The Waffle Wonder In Drizzle
*2024 stock. 300 copies limited edition* "On his new album 'If You Can't Wander The Waffle, Wonder I Drizzle', Joshua Burkett takes hushed conversation and quietens them further. Listening to it is like reading under a blanket by candlelight. Yet an eerie buzz and hum cloaks the album, a lonesome spirit that's never comfortable or comforting.
Burkett is a pioneer of free folk alongside Tower Recordings, Dredd Foole, and Sunburned Hand Of The Man. This 'New Weird America' haze from from the early…
TV cello
Of the famous "TV Cello," conceived by Nam June Paik for Charlotte Moorman as a "living sculpture," this CD offers an in-situ recording released on one of the three days inaugurating the Paik retrospective at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, on the 11th, 12th and 14th of September in 1982. This version contains, respectively, the "TV Cello Duets" with Paul Garrin and the "Concerto for TV Cello and Videotapes," largely improvised, "including a tape collage by Ornette Coleman prepare…
Four Full Flutes
Here is the complete CD catalog of this superior NYC composers collective label (aka Experimental Intermedia); although pretty low-profile, there are some amazing releases on this label in the spirit of long, droned tones and advanced new music composition. Don't let the title to this Niblock thing throw you off -- this is massive trance music and a key work in the unspecified field of "pure sound". "...adjacent tones beat violently against one another while clouds of harmonics hover above the w…
The Enlightening Beam of Bobby Brown
Rvng present one of their most unique releases to date with a limited art zine and cassette that shines light on the work of psych musician Bobby Brown. Bobby Brown exists beyond being. Bobby’s documented music covers a dynamic emotional and spiritual terrain, his vocals, ever prominent, traverse six octaves of sound. Bobby’s understanding of — and unbending faith — in physics and technology manifest in unbelievable instrumental and intellectual innovations. Bobby’s dedication to the fundaments …
Waiting For The Bomb
2024 stock. LP version. Eccentricity in music is tricky in that it's difficult to embrace it in moderation. There's risk of having it come off as either overly (and gratingly) deliberate, or teetering over the precipice into full-blown novelty. Pere Ubu co-founder Allen Ravenstine's Waiting For The Bomb is one of these rare exceptions where peculiarity, nuance and genuine warmth align in such a way that it's perched right on that edge and all the more evocative because of it. One of the album's …
Chopin & Lazkano: Préludes
This double portrait places Chopin’s beloved Préludes in nimble counterpoint with new ensemble works from Ramon Lazkano, translated by Maroussia Gentet and Ensemble Cairn under Guillaume Bourgogne. The result is both homage and reinvention, unlocking resonances between eras through lyric immediacy and textural experiment.
Paris Quotidien (CD+booklet)
For two years, Eric La Casa has been recording the urban sonic environment of Paris from the windows of his own apartment. Between a temporary inventory and a musical documentary, Paris Quotidien is the result of this long experiment. Includes a 60-page documentation booklet with photographs.
Interieurs
**200 copies** Éric La Casa probes his inner sound environment through the recording of his Parisian apartment, an artist's studio and the empty spaces of a museum.
For more than 20 years, while listening to the environment, Éric La Casa (born 1968, Tours, lives and works in Paris) has been questioning the perception of reality and has expanded the notion of what's musical today. Through his aesthetic of capturing sound, his work fits equally into the fields of sound art and music. As a result o…

Barrières Mobiles
*100 copies limited edition* "Following the 2015 attacks, all entrances to public buildings – schools, churches, mosques, synagogues, museums, town halls, police stations, etc. – were reinforced by these metal barriers, without any prior consultation with local residents nor with their being given any indication of how long they would remain in place. The public space has been covered with these barriers, which, over the last decade, summer and winter, day and night, have become the symbols of l…

Idoli Controluce / E La Donna Creò L'Uomo
Beat Records is pleased to re-release on CD the OSTs by Ennio Morricone for the romantic comedy films Idoli controluce and …E la donna creo’ l’uomo (aka Volles Herz und leere Taschen). In this score, Morricone alternates pleasant, lounge-flavored tunes (“Sophisticated boy," “Relax in solitudine," “Rendez –vous”) with romantic themes (“Le meno importanti," “Le cose più importanti”). This CD reissue, lasting 51:04, includes for the first time the Baroque-flavored piece “Villa Madama,” which was fe…
Sherter Solo
"On the night of December 18, 2021, Mamer and his newly formed psychedelic folk band Mask were about to record a live album at Shenzhen B10 Live, a few audiences were invited. Before the recording, Mamer improvised on sherter for nearly 40 minutes. This album was therefore born. Xêrtêrmin / Sherter Solo may be, or should be the world’s first sherter solo album—although we don’t want to overemphasize it for the sake of sales. Most of the time, this ancient Kazakh instrument is used as a tenor dom…
The Sounds of Sound Sculpture
In 1973, the Sound Sculpture Show took place at the Vancouver Art Gallery. An LP audio catalogue (with a booklet) of the exhibition, entitled “The Sounds of Sound Sculpture”, was released in 1975 under the supervision of the Canadian sound sculptor John Grayson and US composer David Rosenboom. Grayson had edited an important early book on the field, “Sound Sculpture”. The LP included rare takes of Rosenboom and Grayson, amongst others, playing famous pieces by pioneering sound sculptors includin…
Bending Your Sauna
In 2022 New Forces received a pair of discs in the mail from Nick Forté (Rorschach, Raspberry Bulbs, Half Mortal) that contained the initial creative burst from his new project Green Tea. The albums were astonishingly well crafted and could hardly be considered "demos"; indeed, they felt like masterworks that emerged out of thin air, blending psychedelic harsh noise with ambient and new age music in a way that felt incredibly fresh and exciting. As the artist describes it, "I knew I was working …
