Naples, 1977. Luciano Cilio's sole recorded work is pure magic - four "quadri" where strings, woodwinds, wordless voices and solitary guitar trace the edges of silence. Closer to Arvo Pärt and Morton Feldman than to any Italian prog, yet entirely its own universe. Music that breathes, suspends time, breaks your heart without raising its voice. Decades ahead of its time. First ever remaster from the original tapes.

The Italian band's 2005 debut mini-album, issued on CDr and never reprinted, now on vinyl for the first time with two tracks recorded in 2021. Neofolk, neoclassical and ritual music. Numbered, Steinklang.

On the 30th anniversary of the Victo Festival Anthony Braxton took to the stage for a magnificent solo performance on the alto sax, performing 8 spontaneous compositions and an 8+ minute version of "Body and Soul", seamlessly crossing lyrical and complex approaches to the horn using his unique intervallic, trimbral and diagrammatic language, a stunning and embraceable accomplishment.

Radio Species’ “Compressed Knowledge” offers elusive, collage-based soundscapes—stuttering loops, fragmented speech, and ambient noise—evoking speculative reconstruction and experimental archaeology.

On Phren, Marta Salogni and Stefano Pilia build a shared electro‑acoustic architecture where guitar, tape machines and field recordings circulate like memory in motion. Signals move through modular processes, echoes and Revox loops until origin and reflection blur, turning six slow‑unfolding pieces into a living study of sound, time and feeling.

The second album by Pork Pie, the European jazz-rock group of Jasper van't Hof, Charlie Mariano and Philip Catherine, recorded in Brussels in 1975 and released by MPS in 1976, with John Marshall on drums and Bo Stief on bass.

Dr. John Chowning (b. 1934) is a pioneering computer musician, composer and professor who, in 1967, discovered the FM synthesis algorithm. This breakthrough in electronic music allowed for  simple, yet rich timbres described as sounding "real." With this discovery, Chowning composed singular, dramatic electronic music and changed the timbre of music forever. Chowning utilized the potential of computers to synthesize sounds according to programmed instructions. The composer's use of his own FM al…

The acquatic and marine imagery drawn by the titles and the artwork for “The Gentle Whale”, Francesco Lurgo’s second LP, the first one for Silentes, are a metaphor for a sound that is liquid and like the sea is constantly shifting from the quietness of intimate ambient moments to waves of maximalist sonic pressure, always looking with admiration to the creative world of contemporary soundtracks. From this sonic fluid, arpeggios and themes played by melancholic post-rock guitars and plucky synths…

*2025 much needed repress!!! 200 copies limited edition* Glow World is Rod Modell's new project resulting from his collaboration with Taka Noda. The duo delivers what could be an example of perfect elegance and musical refinement, but the resulting sounds are once again dirtied, ruined and ravaged by a noise capable of deafening us, sounds that come from afar, that seem to fade away but suddenly illuminate the world around us, which lands on us and which no longer belongs to us, leaving us lost …

A tenth of a second of an Alpine ibex's whistle, stretched by algorithms to two long sides of glitch, spectral drift and granular grain: the first solo LP by Berlin cellist and sound artist Tilman Kanitz.

*In process of stocking. Limited edition of 200 copies.* Enfold was created over the span of four months in the early morning hours. Its structure alternates between mechanistic dub techno rhythms and sections of deeper ambience. Each of the three names listed within the album's track titles symbolize multiple hours of improvised source material. Field recordings appear throughout the album's duration. Thunder, rain, wind, and cicada sounds are prominent. The fifth track contains processed recor…

*200 copies limited edition* Gathering its most vivid elements, and drawing inspiration from the most emotionally touching mixtures of electronic synthesizers, driving rhythms - always 'clever' and sober - and melodic para-ambient offshoots, Like the Snow creates an album with almost 'epic' connotations, for its ability to involve and for the intensity of the emotions it is able to convey. At times sweetly melancholic and introspective, at times 'charged' with irresistible dynamic energy, but al…

This is an unreleased and “lost” new album by Deison and Mingle conceived in 2014 /15 right after the recording and the release of their debut collaboration-album "Everything Collapse[d]". After the passing of Andrea Gastaldello (“Mingle”) in 2021 and founding these forgotten tracks led us to think that this work should have been listened to understand the essence of the original album. Published by a co-production of three label who have released various works by the duo in the past (Loud!, Fin…

Four LPs, a CD and a 120-page book from the Zurich festival for Alvin Lucier's 85th birthday in 2016: Lucier performing I Am Sitting in a Room and Music for Solo Performer, plus premieres and late works with Curtis, La Barbara, Ambarchi and O'Malley.

"Below/Light" by Filer Coleman is a selection of ambient works by Jim Filer Coleman. It represents an antidote, or perhaps a counterpart, to the more aggressive music that he may be more known for such as Cop Shoot Cop and Human Impact. These tracks were recorded over a span of a few years, slowly evolving and seeking definition. Electrocoustic in nature, the approach was always exploratory and playful, searching for balance and connection with the natural world. Jim Coleman was an instrumental …

One more new Gianluca Becuzzi release on Silentes, this time in collaboration with Luigi Turra. Composer of musique concrete and graphic designer whose main interest is the musical balance between silence and the tactile perception of sound, Turra’s works were published by labels such as and/OAR, Unfathomless, Non Visual Objects, Smallvoices and many others. A lot has already been written about Becuzzi, here we would just like to remember his historic Darkwave / Industrial project…

Here comes Gianluca Becuzzi’s fourth release on Silentes. This electronic / electro-acoustic composer and sound-artist boast an enviable curriculum: active since the first half of the ‘80s as founder of the historic Darkwave / Industrial project Limbo, since 1999 his artistic production is characterized by a strong experimental imprint and by a clear tendency toward abstract aesthetic forms and micro/macro noises/sounds. Among his recent artistic production - in addition to what he has pu…

'Verrückt' was originally a split cassette release with Criminal Party from back in 1987 on the Japanese label Lunatic Propaganda. M.B. better known as Italian power electronics/avant-garde/noise artist Maurizio Bianchi contributed one side of the tape. Original copies are scarce, to say the least, so M.B. himself reissued it as a CDr and now St.An.Da. give it the vinyl treatment. Captivating '80s underground cassette music, bordering on ambient with its bubbling dreamlike soundscapes.

*300 copies limited edition CD in 6-panel digisleeve* There are roads, paths that inevitably end up joining and there is not always an explanation that is dictated by a precise logic. in fact, there can be many reasons why one decides to take a common path, and in a musical world - which is extremely fragmented - one does not exclude chance or even the sum or escalation of those favourable circumstances that sometimes seem to be inevitable. Thus a simple empathic trigger was all that was needed,…

*200 copies limited edition* "Notturni", Germinal's second album, deepens and pays tribute to more distinctly dark ambient influences while maintaining a firm focus on compositional minimalism. Forgotten loops and samples, buried melodies, rattling refractions and mysterious litanies delineate misty country settings and dreamy urban situations, which can be traced back to a minimum denominator: nocturnal landscaping.

* Edition of 200 * Overgrowth: We consider technology as a tool at our disposal, while it has become the environment around us and takes only care of efficiency. So, nowadays, the technical apparatus became more important than men and their needs. It has no purpose, or a vision for a better mankind future. It only "works".

Öppet Två presents saxophonist Lars-Göran Ulander, who made a big impression on this series' curator in 1982, when he witnessed a solo concert at an art exhibition. Ma…

Originally released in 2000, Iron grew out of Pavlov's teenage fascination with heavy metal and the underground record-exchanging community of the late Soviet era. At fourteen, inspired by Iron Maiden's “Running Free,” he picked up a six-string guitar brought to him by his grandmother and decided that he and his friends could also play that kind of music. Before long, they were rehearsing in a Soviet youth club with whatever equipment was available, looking for the sound they heard in early heav…

Ahead of their final studio album 'Danceteria' coming out later this month, we have the one and only Soft Cell on the cover of the latest Electronic Sound. There's a 16-page Marc Almond interview inside the magazine and we're bundling the issue with an exclusive blue vinyl seven-inch by the synthpop superstars.

LP version.If cellist/composer Janel Leppin’s wonderful and widely celebrated 2022 solo debut album Ensemble Volcanic Ash was a creative eruption, her follow up To March Is to Love is a glowing magma flow that greatly expands her singular band’s sonic terrain. The project thrums with immediacy as Leppin and her all-star sextet honor their musical ancestors and reflect on disquieting times.  Bandcamp Daily declared “There’s no end to the melodic intensity of Ensemble Volcanic Ash. Even at its lus…

By the end of the 1960s, Charles Lloyd was one of the biggest names in jazz. His quartet with Keith Jarrett, Cecil McBee and Jack DeJohnette reached far beyond the usual jazz audience, while Forest Flower became one of the first jazz recordings to sell a million copies. In 1970, at the height of his career, Lloyd disbanded the quartet and withdrew to Big Sur. He continued to make records from time to time, but largely disappeared from the jazz scene while following a more inward and spiritual pa…
