Solèra
"Astrùra’ and ‘Solèra’ are the “Bragos series”, two new Enrico Coniglio works dedicated to the lagoon of Venice. Named after the Venetian for two seabeds, the pieces are field recordings collected at the mouth of the harbor during a foggy spring day back in the 2009, on the northern edge of the lagoon. The environmental narrative is enhanced with both natural and mechanical drones, alluding to modern crisis and with a very precise aversion to nostalgia. The project goal of redefining a locative …
Gratitude
Martina Verhoeven has been working on the development of her own photographic style for about 20 years, almost parallel to this process Martina took up the electric fretless bass when recording the two criticaly-acclaimed 3 Seconds Of Air albums (with Dirk Serries). As her photography continues to grow, expand and develop, slowly mutating into collages on canvas, so does her approach to music. Switching from electric bass to double bass to piano, she slowly mastered a technique that's exceptiona…
Entretien
The project sources from "in black" images taken by Stefano Gentile. Takes that flow in the most hidden sides of the soul. Gianluca Favaron gives sounds these images with notes that don't let space to imagination. Fields recordings and electronics to tell the same visions. The same soulmoods. The work is released with a A/4 16 pages booklet featuring the workshop by Stefano Gentile and a cd with sounds by Gianluca. The edition is 230 copies limited.
Voyage Sacrifice
Master of screwed dub and altered ephemera, Black Zone Myth Chant acts as a dark interpreter for chemical elves on the sunless psychedelia of ‘Voyage Sacrifice’ for Félicia Atkinson & Bartolemé Sanson’s faultless Shelter Press label, under the slightly altered Black Zone Magick Chant alias. It's a whirlpool of fugged-out hallucinations and severely down-pitched vocals with an altered, kaleidoscopic quality - for our money the project's finest hour, residing somewhere between Popol Vuh, Hype Will…
Popsongs
'Popsongs' is the new project by Underthesnow. A collection of thoughts and sounds about pop. The cd is attached to a 40 pages 8" booklet that includes eleven collages by Stefano Gentile, two exclusive drawings by Massimo Giacon, an exclusive card designed by Lapo Belmestieri and writings (in Italian and English language) by Vittore Baroni, Manuel Gentile, Paolo Cesaretti and Marco Pandin.
Under The Snow is Gianluca Favaron: fields recordings, objects, mics, tapes, synth, analog and digital…
The Transcending Quest
**100 copies** 25th anniversary reprint on 10" golden vinyl of the 3" MiniCD originally released by Amplexus in 1994. Personally remastered in 2019 by Dirk Serries, this tiny Tribal Ambient jewel is finally available again as an ultra limited vinyl edition. The Transcending Quest perfectly represent the sound of Vidna Obmana, and in its 20 minutes it concentrates all the atmospheres and moods that were later developed on a fundamental album like The River of Appearance or on his nearly-mythical …
Terzo Mondo
Terzo Mondo (Third World for the ones unfamiliar with italian) was recorded in roughly five months, after researches and several attempts to give a follow up to 300mq, a mix of fractions of sound recorded, chopped, chewed, sampled and put in fermentation. The solution in the end went for the abandoning of the multitrack recordings for a sound that is dry, dehydrated, just Mono, ten live sessions captured on an ideal support coherent with the title of the album they have delivered. What co…
Farewell said I rising
Another lovely release from Upside label, responsible of the "fantastically primordial soup of dismantled and unstable rhythmic electronics and fractal synth patterns" as Boomkat said while reviewing Nastro / Here’s a very mysterious one-sider from Italian duo CYMBLS, their debut, so information about them is scant. There are five tracks on here which mix Italo-horror atmospheres with an earthy, freewheeling avant-minimal aesthetic as they melt between passages of bright, reverby organ, breathy …
Harmonikes Mundi
Duo devised by the magic drummer Paolo Mongardi (ZEUS!, Fuzz Orchestra) and the Grand Master of the 6 Strings Cristian Naldi (Ronin, Myse En Amibe). After their debut on the "AGGARBATOO Vol. 1”, split-tape with Belokurov VS Marziano and the first S/T CD (which came out in an amazing packaging made of steel and wod and limited to 100 copies), they finally release a full-lenght, out on vinyl and co-produced by Lemming Records and NO=FI Recordings.
This album comes as a long impro suite, divide…
Low Pitched Italy
"Low Pitched Italy" is Sammartano's debut album. Already known as the drummer of the cult italian act Cannibal Movie and as well part of Black Moss team for his precious support on stage for our Donato Epiro's "Fiume Nero" live set. Son of the outskirts, cellars and ruined buildings of Taranto, maybe the toughest and weirdest city in South Italy, he tells stories that talk about dreams (nightmares?) of new migrations, ancient legends of travelships foreword the "old" America, visions of g…
Darker Half
Finally available! An hazy, organic drone masterpiece. Originally released in 2010 on cassette with Bathetic Records, the imprint Black Moss is pressing a limited edition first vinyl issue of this album in a number of 300. With some ambient music having a ridged and non translucent quality, Lee Noble’s Darker Half is a standard for organic ambient compositions. The four drones that create the albums whole are dense in shape and scope, stretching into infinite forms of expression and color patter…
Ex-
Pequod are an acoustic quartet (Antonio Bertoni – double bass, Federico Robol – bass flute and soprano sax, Luca Santini – cornet, Massimo Valentinotti – prepared guitar) formed in 2010, conceiving their music on a continuous tension between writing and improvisation and focusing their research on the sonic interaction between objects and spaces. After five years spent performing and collaborating with some of the major figures of acoustic improvisation like Seijiro Murayama, Enrico Malatesta, B…
Tpeso
** edition of 200 ** Sebastiano Carghini is a musician whose research is mainly focused on the use of modular synth and the recording of physical objects. After his recent releases for Second Sleep, New York Haunted and Hideous Replica, he’s now for the first time on wax with this miscellaneous composition out of several recordings dating from 2014 through 2015. The result is a powerful and complex, unconventional collage, just as if a bunch of tracks were squeezed on it. Found objects, DC…
Mema Verma
[mema verma] is the final step of a study about an indian shruti box G (low) tuned, mostly used without emitting any note (as in the first two tracks, sampling and processing the breaths, whistles and noise produced by the reeds. The third track, is the only one in which the shruti is played in a more standard way, as well as its sound was recorded through a set of very old mid-range speakers, later sampled and processed. A split into three tracks but the whole project is sort of a metam…
Goldberg Variations
To the so-called experimental music audience, Claudio Rocchetti is widely known as an incessantly active avant musician (apart from his main solo project he is also part of 3/4HadBeenEliminated, Olyvetty, power quartet In Zaire, and brand new duo Geodetic along with Jukka Reverberi — just to name few of his side projects and collaborations), though he’s ever increasingly expanding his investigation into the fields of writing (Il cuore delle formiche) and installation (The Promised Garden).…
Blast Of Silence
Brand new David Maranha album, here with Gerard Lebik in a a sound performance held at Cave 211, Lisbon, January 2014 "An accumulation of resonances reinjected into an impressive granular continuum with a growing audio signal stretched to the limits of saturation. Music that leads to trance!
David Maranha His work encompasses sculpture, music and architecture. In 1986 he started to develop his work as a musician both as a solo artist and with several bands and has since released more than 30 a…

Conceptual nO!se
A great noise album made with analogue and digital sources "Proper brainfloss from indefatigable English noise demon Russell Haswell for the excellent Bocian Records. Following on from his cracking split with Pain Jerk and the outstanding '37 Minute Workout' for Diagonal, the five blizzards of 'Conceptual n0!se' also help to distinguish 2014 as a relatively prolific and vintage year for the venerable artist. It's full bore Haswell; an atonal, arrhythmic relish of blistering analogue and digital …
Volume Two
On the 2nd of two entrancing Beast volumes, modular maverick Koen Holtkamp (Mountains) further distinguishes his new, rhythmelodic velocity in four studio-based iterations, making a subtle contrast with the live performances of Volume 1, and beautifully exemplifying the distance travelled from his earlier works released by Type, Thrill Jockey and Umor Rex since the late ‘00s. Hemming the finest line between the ‘Process Music’ approach of ‘70s minimal/maximalists Jon Gibson and Steve Reich, and…
Millz Medz
Lose yourself in the circuitry of the original 1965 Buchla 100 with NYZ (Dave Burraston) as he utilizes Barbara Hero's Lambdoma tuning theories to create two slow, deeply layered, subconscious, organic and meditative compositions. NYZ's split 12" with ELEH (IMPREC 477LP) will be released at the same time as Millz Medz. David Burraston is an award-winning artist / scientist working in the areas of technology and electronic music, operating Noyzelab as an independent art / science music studio sin…
