***120 copies*** Nuova Superficie is a duo of Giovanni Lami and Enrico Malatesta. Horizontal actions in progress, a slowly change and a melt all over the course of the performance, this is the ground idea in the duo. Sound originates from several speakers placed in the space in an eterogenous way, and – in general – from different diffusion points, amplified or not, analog or acoustic, in a non-referential movement. The one and only need is to produce a simple sound-mass, seemingly static but un…

Angel Rada, pioneer of experimental electronic music in Venezuela, has always been a restless mind, an experimentalist with his feet firmly planted on the ground of the art, his particular mix of sound design, cultural avant-garde attitude and spiritual inquiry led him to explore an impressively rich sound universe throughout his more than 20 productions (one of the most extensive in his country) making him the cult musician he is today.El Palmas Music, an independent record label in Barcelona, …

Pink Fairies at their absolute best. Remarkable psych freaks make loud noise. Space rockers in some incredible form here, reaching for maybe the highest points in their recorded career. Although unsung by many, Pink Fairies are legendary to space rockers everywhere.

*2024 stock* Originally released in 1991 Dondestan was remixed and reappraised in the studio in 1998 as Dondestan Revisited. Wyatt claimed he ‘ran out of words’, so by basing half of the album’s tracks on her beautifully fragmented lyrics, he began a songwriting collaboration with wife Alfie Benge that continues to flourish to this day.

Samuel Andreyev’s music is incredibly varied, from the sparse resonance of the Sonata da Camera, the ‘cartoon music’ – as the composer puts it -of Vérifications, characterised by primary colours and strong instrumental timbres; the Sextet in Two Parts which in contrast focuses on minute timbral shadings; and of course the cantata for solo voice and ensemble which is the title track of the album. Performed by Ensemble Proton Bern, conducted by Luigi Gaggero with the magical soprano voice of Peyee…

By the end of the 1970s Linval Thompson had cut out a successful dual career for himself as both singer and producer. Naturally he moved in the dub field as well, getting further use out of rhythms he used in his other works. Dub had begun strictly as an album format with limited pressing runs for scene insiders, but it had swiftly gained the interest of the rank and file reggae buffs. 'Negrea Love Dub', originally released in 1978, is a cornerstone in the reggae dub scene. Linval Thompson produ…

The book, a celebration of the German production music library’s 60th birthday, is a collaborative venture between the label and Disco Pogo.

Years in the making, the first full length album by Piercing follows releases on notable labels such as No Rent and Detachment Programs. Output by this project has been somewhat limited and selective due to it's time consuming nature and nitpicky process of preparing loops derived from specific source sounds, which are then painstakingly shaped into melancholy and melodic tape degraded noise compositions that strive to put the listener in a palpably surreal or transcendent atmosphere. All of the…

Tip! *50 copies limited edition* Tirature Teatrino is proud to present: Fonometrie Audio-dittico for voices, electrophones and electronics, Fonometrie is the result of long-standing collaboration and recording sessions edited and composed by Jacopo Sabar Giacchino (UBE) and Luca Albrecht ‘Praux’ Praussello in Amsterdam's Oudek Studio between 2022 and 2023.

*200 copies limited edition* Exactly two years after “They Cast No Shadows” comes “Tertium Quid”, third CD from the LHAM project headed by Bruno De Angelis (Mana ERG) and Giuseppe Verticchio (Nimh) which once again leads the listener through complex and enthralling instrumental sound textures. The richness of the album’s arrangements and the sophistication of its harmonies are striking, alternating between calm stillness, quasi orchestral crescendos, fragments of darkness and restlessness follow…

*200 copies limited edition* The road does not end: it abandons us, and in its abandonment it invites us to pause, listen, and wander within what cannot be possessed, only perceived. "The Dead End Road" is a journey along a road that leads nowhere, immersed in dark and suspended atmospheres - a path that leaves us alone with our listening. Through field recordings and electroacoustic textures, sounds emerge, dissolve, and recombine in restless spaces, between memory and presence. Each track is a…

*200 copies limited edition* The series of double albums by Gianluca Becuzzi for St.An.Da/Silentes, which began in 2020 with "In Between", continues. Like its predecessors, "American Requiem" combines drone guitar with sacred themes, creating compositions with a dark and captivating mood. This time, the theme of faith and death in the land of capitalist materialism par excellence, the United States, is placed at the centre of the work, with the use of a mix of traditional country-blues and avant…

** CD + 21x21cm 48-page booklet in Italian, ltd. 200 copies ** "It often happens that crime stories are able to influence the larger history that surrounds them, but very few are those that managed to change aspects of society and pass through more than five decades unharmed, at least in terms of fascination. The whole story of the Monster of Florence is one of them. It is impossible not to get entangled or at least to be captured by it, if one delves into its pages of far-fetched features and t…

*Bilingual English-Italian* "Put your music group together. Paint your own picture. Write your own book, your own poem." These are original English texts and Italian translations by American Mike Watt, born in 1957. You should already know the author, or at least I hope you do: he is one of those who were there in California to light the fuse under the ass of rock in the late 1970s and the early 1980s. He played bass with the Minutemen, and it was partly because of him and his band that the punk…

Tip! Remarks on Process was recorded in May 2024 at Westbahnstudios Vienna. The project was a week-long performance workshop led by Mark Fell with members of the Austrian ensemble Studio Dan. Throughout the week, procedural systems were developed to explore group behaveiours and emergent musical aesthetics. This led to a performance on the evening of the final day which is excluded here. Each day was recorded in its entirety and this cassette contains edited excerpts from the sessions in chronol…

*100 copies limited edition* Spoken word, synth, modules & beats invite the listener into an electronic landscape where smell is colour and sound has weight. 'Momentary Lapses' is the second collaborative album from London based artists BAG (Jody DeSchutter and Daniel Allison), and Collapsing Drums (Charlie Behrens).  This is a deeply artful work that is simultaneously engrossing and challenging, and one that benefits from repeated listening.

Each copy is signed in the artist's blood and numbered by hand.  Includes the longest version of the album (62 minutes) with an alternate tracklist. Extended versions of "Two Sisters" and "Sweat of the Sun", two bonus tracks ("I'm New Here" + a secret track unavailable elsewhere).

**2025 Stock** The Bog, released in 2025, finds Cisfinitum (Evgeny Voronovsky) excavating the mythological and sonic depths of the toad—a figure recurring in folk legends, alchemical texts, and ancient rites. Built on a foundation of re-processed field recordings captured in swamps and wetlands, the album takes the acoustic reality of frogs, amphibians, and environmental ambiance and transforms it via intricate sound design into a single, immersive composition. The result is a brooding, hypnotic…

Finnish Neofolk / Ambient project Nest by Aslak Tolonen and Timo Saxell, well known far beyond the mentioned genres. Every connoisseur Agalloch, remembers beautiful split Agalloch / Nest from 2004 , which is literally killing its brevity, fans Skepticism likely heard interpretation «The Gallant Crow» from Nest.

Orchis is an English Dark/Acid Folk band consisting of Tracy Jeffery (who also sings with Cunnan and J Greco's SQE), Amanda Prouten and Alan Trench (Cunnan, SQE, Twelve Thousand Days(with Martyn Bates), Temple Music). We have so far managed to release four albums to date starting in 1994 with The Dancing Sun (cryptanthus /World Serpent), which was more a collection of formative pieces than anything else, then in 1997 the concept album that was A Thousand Winters (cryptanthus / World Serpent). Ma…

**2025 Stock** In A Thousand Words, Bvdub (Brock Van Wey) crafts his most ambitious single work to date, unfolding one uninterrupted composition across nineteen movements and some five hundred audio channels. This monumental endeavor was performed live in a single take, a testament to Van Wey’s longstanding commitment to authenticity and deeply felt emotion. Rather than a sequence of discrete tracks, the album presents itself as a living meditation on memory, longing, and the often ambiguous way…

An’archives are thrilled to present the debut album by Tokyo avant-pop duo Jyuriaano, Dreaming Glass.

To write these few lines, we spoke to saxophonist François Jeanneau, an old friend of Jacques Thollot who also played on several of his albums, including the “Watch Devil Go” which interests us here. He told us a story which, according to him, sums up the personality of Thollot. A noted studio had reserved three days for a Thollot recording session. The first morning was devoted to sound checks and putting some order in the score sheets which Jacques would hand out in a somewhat anarchic manner…

Luxe, spaced-out drone music from Phillip Sollman (Efdemin), including a charming drone-pop take on Jane’s ‘Fine Day’. In his post-techno phase Phillip Sollman continues to spread his wings and double down on his interest in minimalism following collaborations with Oren Ambarchi and John Gürtler in the past few years, and more recently on his percussive study ‘Monophonie.’ The title for his new suite with Dial kinda gives the game away; it’s very minimal, in the school of thought developed by li…

On Raw Power, Iggy And The Stooges compress lust, nihilism and amplifier abuse into eight songs that still feel like a structural flaw in rock itself, James Williamson’s scorched‑earth guitar and Iggy’s feral charisma defining the template for punk and everything unwholesome that followed.

November 1978. Henry Cow disbands after a decade of music that redefined the boundaries of experimental rock. November 2022. Four founding members return to the stage. Not to look back - but to improvise the present. Fred Frith (guitar, violin, electronics), Tim Hodgkinson (keyboards, saxophone, lap steel, electronics), Chris Cutler (drums, percussion), John Greaves (bass, vocals): the original core reunited under the name Henry Now. The key is in the name - as Clive Bell noted in The Wire, this…

Bečva is a river located in the Eastern part of Czech Republic. In September 2020, several chemical leaks into the river caused the poisoning and subsequent death of 40 tons of wildlife in the waterway – an unprecedented catastrophe. Growing up in Přerov, Bečva was an ever-present part of Tomáš Niesner’s youth and this environmental disaster affected him deeply. In an effort to understand the river better and inspired by Werner Herzog’s ‘Of Walking in Ice’, Niesner set out on a journey from the …

Kindling #1: Parazoan Mapping #2 by Taku Unami and Eric La Casa is the first edition of an ongoing series of artist-run digital+paper sound-art releases, only available as a newspaper plus digital file. Through their individual practices, Taku Unami and Eric La Casa have contributed greatly to what we think about how we listen and practice sound and music, and often indirectly challenging where these two tightly linked categories might collide or overlap. Parazoan Mapping #2 continues their publ…

"Kindling is super excited to share our latest edition created by Arek Gulbenkoglu, who we think has produced some of the most consistently interesting sound works for fixed media in Australia over the last decade or more. Creating wilfully obtuse or even opaque works which are sonically thought-provoking and perceptually pleasurable by equal measure. While Arek has released a string of fantastic works on respected labels such as Penultimate Press, Regional Bears, Index Clean, Careful Catalog, a…

"Last year, a consultant from the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors took stock of my home in Bristol. He told me the survey would be sent as a pdf via email; I asked him for the audio recording of his spoken notes. The visiting field recordist graciously gifted it to me.Around the same time, we had a security camera fitted. My daughters commented that the audio sounded like “Daddy’s music.” I can now travel anywhere in the world while producing field recordings of my home. ‘How Buildings Le…

*100 copies limited edition* Twice Removed is the tangible-auditory outcome of a collaborative artistic "game" between Texas-based multidisciplinary artist TJ Norris and Dutch sound artist Jos Smolders. The process was a dynamic, cyclical exchange: the artists first exchanged and paired images; Norris then initiated the text, to which Smolders created the associated sounds. All materials—images, text, and sound—were continuously shared and paired between them. Each artist responded in turn, addi…

Marking the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, Brian Eno’s classic ambient excursion with his brother Roger Eno, and studio whizkind, Daniel Lanois, re-enters the vinyl orbit for the first time since 1983, bolstered with booster pack of previously unreleased material. Conceived as a soundtrack to Al Reinert’s 1983 documentary, For All Mankind, the wide-eyed wonder of Apollo has taken on a life of its own as one of Eno's best loved and most influential ambient trips, especially for t…

"Collapsing Drums tells the stories that matter in a post-pandemic world" - The Wire Collapsing Tape is a sprawling 23 track compilation which celebrates 5 years of the Collapsing Drums label via a diverse pool of artists working across experimental music. It’s really hard to condense the amount of sounds going on in the 90 minutes — but here’s a brief attempt: there’s abstract vocal play (Elaine Mitchener), warm squishy electronics (Luke Sanger), frenetic turntablism (Mariam Rezaei and Dali de …

"As a concoction of whirring, electronics-strewn field recordings, this over fifty minute piece is intoxicating in its intimacy, like drifting half asleep through various conversations, rituals, prayers. As a piece which considers the “complex entanglements of migrant stories, memory, identity, otherness”, it feels urgently, cacophonously important, a sonic insight into our shared humanity" — Spenser Tomson In this project, Paul and Masimba capture almost five years of conversation as they stood…
