Thousand Leaves
Despite a 40-year age gap and the vast distance between Japan and Greece, pianist Masahiko Sato and guitarist Giotis Damianidis reveal themselves as kindred spirits on Thousand Leaves. Capturing their very first meeting—recorded live on February 2, 2024, at Jazz Spot Candy in Chiba, Japan—this album is a testament to the power of improvised music to dissolve boundaries of geography and generation. The rapport between Sato and Damianidis is so immediate and intuitive that one might imagine a much…
Reverie
*300 copies limited edition* After another long period of silence, Deaf Center return with two long-form, hypnotic pieces recorded in an intimate setting. “Reverie” can be seen as a follow up to 2014’s “Recount”, which saw two pieces of music created around their live-sets in different periods. This time, we are treated with a contemporary, raw live performance from October 2024 in Rabih Beaini’s studio, Morphine Raum in Berlin, during the 15th anniversary celebration of Sonic Pieces. This was t…

Feldman and Tobias Hume (performed by Luciana Elizondo and Guy Vandromme).
Unripened (demos And Rare Tracks)
One of the most important 'lost' music recordings out there, this is the original version of the classicl album - recorded in April 1966 - that Andy Warhol eventually presented to Columbia Records, who chose to reject the demos. The track order is different from the release, and the band didn't record "Sunday Morning" and "There She Goes" until later, so those songs aren't included here. Some tracks sound the same as the released tracks, and others are markedly different, and even a little rawer…
La Ragazza Fuoristrada
This is the second Piero Scattini's movie starring Zeudi Araya, filmed in a hurry to take advantage of the success of the previous “La ragazza dalla pelle di luna”. “La ragazza fuoristrada”, set between Egypt and Ferrara, Italy, deals in an unusual way with the theme of racial integration, still a taboo at the time especially in remote Italian provinces. Despite the fact that the title evokes the legendary "Dune Buggy" (the main character, Luc Merenda, is a journalist who goes to Egypt to test i…

Lacinia
Returning to Die Schachtel with his fourth full-length with the label, the Genoa born, Bologna based, guitarist and electroacoustic composer, Stefano Pilia, delivers “Lacinia”, a new, immersive cycle of compositions, delving deeper into the realm of metaphysical, spiritual, and divine meaning, weaving astounding arrangements of sonority from a palette of synths, strings, brass, organ, various electroacoustic instruments, and percussion. Resting at a refined intersection of the acoustic and elect…
Chitinous
Big Big Tip! Certainly one of the most obscure and perhaps one of the most fascinating work of the English jazz revolution. Master of ceremonies is cellist Paul Buckmaster, known for his work with the Third Ear Band and for his (later) collaborations with Miles Davis, David Bowie and Elton John. Chitinous is his the only album as leader and it was recorded between 31 March and 13 April 1970, by an orchestra of no less than 51 players, with violins, violas and cellos. In this enormous line-up we …
Stasis Sounds For Long-Distance Space Travel III
*200 coipes limited edition* Among the many kind remarks and deeply personal stories that have been shared with zakè and 36 about their beloved series, Stasis Sounds For Long-Distance Space Travel, perhaps the most succinct and poignant is one from a fan, regarding the first installment: “I was terrified of space travel, until I heard this album.” In those few words, the complex themes and contrasts that the artists explore through their comforting hymns of cosmic scale are summed up beautifully…

I Can Hear The Grass Grow
Ecstatic presents I Can Hear The Grass Grow, the transportive new album from Mancunian duo Celestial. Expanding on the bucolic dreamstates of their previous work, this latest release unfurls like dawn mist over dewy fields, steeped in fragile fingerpicking guitar aching with hushed intimacy.
Where Listen to the Sky traced the heavens, I Can Hear The Grass Grow sinks into the earth—its organic, fungal textures blossoming in layers of acoustic and electric guitar, droning harmoniums, and shimmerin…
French Archives Vol. III 1964-1989
An absolutely astounding accomplishment, Black Sweat's 4 LP Box set of previously unreleased material by Ariel Kalma - French Archives Vol. III - is a mind-melting immersion into the composer and saxophonist's radical experiments and stunning ambient harmonics made between 1974 and 1985. Venturing far beyond the territories for which he is most well-known, the collection takes great strides to accurately framing ambient and New Age musics as rightful extensions of the avant-garde, and is easily …
The Years After
*200 copies limited edition* "Our first album we made together, "The Days After", was initially released on Three Poplars in 2003. Then, afterwards in 2007 it was re-issued with a new version of the second track, "Flaxen", on Faraway Press.
After having found the earliest version of 'The Days After' in my archives last autumn, there was an excitement that grows with the beginning of something in the creative process and the sparkle of an idea that can never be recreated. Furthermore, there was …
This Is Like A Dream / Total Pleasure
Tip! Minty (named after the Polari word for ‘snooty’) was formed in 1992 around legendary designer, performance artist and muse for painter Lucien Freud, Leigh Bowery. Alongside friend, and designer Richard Torry and club promoter, musician and filmmaker Matthew Glamorre, Minty was conceived to present ‘actions’ on the fringes of music, art and fashion and to explode (sometimes literally) in the face of growing homogenisation. Inheritors of the Post Punk and New Romantic scene, Bowery and crew l…

Commemoration Songs
Huge Tip! Commemoration Songs is a soundtrack diary from the past few years, inspired by a world where everything is being commodified at the expense of human rights and making money has become the be-all and end-all of human existence. Amidst all of this, we still commemorate the people who were instrumental in building a system that can only survive by projecting violence on us. The album consists of 8 pieces, where free jazz saxophones meet warm analog synth sequences, compelling basslines an…
Pieces + Secrets of the Blue Bag
The two groundbreaking Anthony Moore LPs in bundle at a special price. **500 copies** Over the last few years, we’ve seen countless reissues emerge with the branding of “holy grail”. Some have deserved it, other have not. Needless to say, here at SoundOhm, we’re increasingly wary of throwing these words around, but the two albums before us, Anthony Moore’s Pieces From a Cloudland Ballroom, from 1971, and Secrets of the Blue Bag, issued the following year, deserve them with little doubt.
