Ghost Tropic
Ghost Tropic is first and foremost the name of the third feature from acclaimed Belgian writer-director Bas Devos. The film tells the story of Khadija, a middle-aged cleaner who has no other option but to walk home through Brussels on a cold night after falling asleep on the last train. The journey is a reflection on motherhood and expectations, pride and unknown struggles, stories of the ghostly magic of a lonely night in a big city, of the kindness of strangers and the hurt felt seeing the vul…
Wolf / Worm
After two stunning singles (on S-S and Sacred Bones) HEBV are back in the 12" maxi-single format and are now allowed to stretch out in two very long songs of dark drone and acid guitars filled with just a few frantic vocals. Wolf starts as a straight punk song and evolves into a space odissey driven by monotonous drumming and filled by a hypnotic flute solo right before collapsing into an melancholic outro leaving us lost and confused. Worm is a wall of drone crawling and crawling for mi…
Cnl
**Edition of 300** Only if you know symmetry you can break it. Only where the dark has reigned, you can escape. Places have sounds. CLN is the album by Jochen Arbeit and Paolo Spaccamonti. CLN place is the city of Turin exoteric center joint. With two fountains depicting Po and Dora Riparia rivers, in perspective symmetry, and two twin churches exactly behind them, in San Carlo place. Through the lines of the tracks, two guitars stare at each other, but instead of chasing each other, they …
Symphony for an Intergalactic Brotherhood
**Edition of 300** The Star Pillow is the drone-ambient project of italian guitarist Paolo Monti. The project started in December 2007 with the aim of researching expressions and relations between sound, space and human emotions. The new album is composed of three improvisations, recorded and mixed at home by Paolo Monti himself. As the title suggests, the sound is an ever evolving series of guitar drones that seems to ascend above the terrestrial atmosphere, in search of other civilizatio…

Porta
Umanzuki is the youngest act to emerge from the current Italian Occult Psychedelia milieu. What was born as some sort of exotic free-jazz combo with the Sonic Birds EP, quickly developed into Tropical Nature Of Tiaso, a 35 minute-long improvisation built upon minimal electronics, diluted sounds and reduced synthetic rhythm. Porta, their newest effort, explores one more artistic metamorphosis. Focusing on a EP format the Florencebased trio has been able to shape the looseness of its prev…
Il Vento Disperderà la Schiuma
Boring Machine released the first work by Fabio Orsi after his move from native Puglia to Berlin many years ago. The record was the obsessive “Wo Ist Behle?” which reflected the heavy mark on Orsi who has been stricken and enthused by the psichedelic feeling of the long Berlin winter. Covered in snow, the most remote places of the city have the same hazy feeling of the hot summer days in Salento but the glacial weather gives a different perspective and transforms the atmosphere perception.Then w…

Omaggio a Marino Zuccheri
I've been talking about releasing music from this trio since I knew them almost seven years ago. Now it's time for me to let you know about one of the craziest projects I had the chance to put my ears on. Marino Zuccheri was the sound engineer of the famous Milan RAI Electronic Music Studio, where he helped to shape the music of great experimentalists like Berio, Nono, Maderna, Cage, Pousseur and many others. This 12” EP is an homage to the great figure …

Divus
Divus is a duo from Rome, comprised of electronic musician Luciano Lamanna (Lunar Lodge, Balance, LSWHR) and saxophone player Luca T. Mai (Zu, Mombu). The encounter of Lamanna and Mai is suprisingly far from their usual sound. Their influences coming from techno and jazzcore/metal are both left aside here, in favour of a more nocturnal and atmospheric sound. The use of synthesisers is sober and it’s accompained by long sustained notes from the saxophone. The music is so smokey and dark…
Tse-k
Maurizio Bianchi is back on vinyl! A new special limited edition from SmallVoices and the father of Italian industrial music, together with Land Use in this new chapter of his legendary career. An oppressive meditative obscure early-industrial symphony based on two monolithic pieces of thick throbbing stuff. A long deep trip into the darker meanderings of the human mind... good luck! From the liner-notes "Electro-neural mitosis for hypochondriac neurotronic waves and farraginous tone emissions, …
Illuminant/Glory
Illuminant/Glory is a wild awake, which marks the transition to a new perception of the self. A solitary trip towards the discover of the feral nature which ideally leads to death (Illuminant) and to rebirth (Glory) of whom embarks on this trip. Through sampling in real time floor-tom, voice and synths, the listener is buried under layers of percussions, drones and mantras, dragged further down ("Come down with us") to exorcise the fear of what he is in nature. Only confronting with death…
Distant Songs of Madmen
**Limited edition of 100 copies only on Red vinyl**A new Mike Cooper release is always a great event, and we are so happy to have it here! Distant Songs of Madmen was recorded live in Palermo and was my solo set in a concert organised by Lelio Gianetti and Curva Minore which included my trio Truth In The Abstract Blues and Eugene Chadbourne. My set was free improvisation; some cover versions of folk and pop songs and some of my own songs. The title of the record and some of the improvised pieces…
Nimiia Vibie
Aspiring to connect with a world beyond our consciousness and our planet, nimiia vibié sounds the interactions between a neural network, audio recordings of early Martian language, and microscopic footage of extremophilic space bacteria. Here, the computer is a medium, channeling messages from entities that usually cannot speak. However, it is also an alien of our creation. Drawing on nimiia cétiï, Jenna Sutela's project on machine learning and interspecies communication, the record manifests a …
Fake Synthetic Music

Created for variable spaces from theatres, to clubs and galleries, the backbone of Janvin’s projects focus on the physical aspects of sound, and potential dualities of the natural versus artificial, organic / synthetic, and minimal / dramatic.Fake Synthetic Music is Stine Janvin’s latest live perf…

Some Songs
Songs. Not Really. It's more about ghosts.The Ghost of the Song. Or we can substitute a more meaningful term: memory of song. Sound lost in space, refractions.

Featuring Stefano Pilia on guitar (from In Zaire and Massimo Volume). Limited edition of only 200 copies with a silkscreened jacket and silkscreened blank side of the vinyl.…
Un Giorno in una Piazza del Mediterraneo
In the late 70’s the Italian music scene recorded a renewed interest in a sound research involved to a stimulating fusion of popular elements, jazz improvisation and suggestions of the middle-oriental classical heritage. Starting from the experience of Aktuala the idea of a common "Mediterranean air", that could compare and harmonize rhythms and timbres of various regions, enlivened a large number of musicians.
In this context, it also placed the short history of Zeit and of his main mem…
