Pleasure Ground
Twenty years on, Prurient's Pleasure Ground returns in the edition it always wanted. This is the hinge record in Dominick Fernow's catalogue, the one that opened the electronic chapter of the project: the scorched power-electronics of the early years meeting synth tones, slow doom weight and the meditative cold of Nordic black metal. Recorded in a single day, 14 February 2006, it first surfaced as a self-released double cassette sold at Carlos Giffoni's No Fun Fest in New York, then arrived in s…
L’Oreille Voleuse
On L’oreille Voleuse, Brunhild Ferrari opens her archive of “ear memories” to Eiko Ishibashi and Jim O’Rourke, who treat her magnetic-tape recollections as a living landscape, improvising a drifting, prismatic electroacoustic Hörspiel about time, listening, and theft as tender attention.
Dried plum music for the grim reaper / gathering tiny traces
I’m very happy to present a split cassette of two of my favorite tape music artists from Denmark. A half hour of strange magnetic signals, unidentifiable voices, and all round textural bless. Too quiet to be noise, too gnarly to be ambient, but absolutely perfect for this label.
With A Heartbeat
Originally released in 2003, With A Heartbeat brings together Pharoah Sanders, Bill Laswell and Graham Haynes in a collaboration that remains as elusive as it is forward-thinking. Now reissued by Glossy Mistakes, the album receives its first official vinyl edition, remastered and available both in standard black and a limited burgundy pressing.
At the core of the record lies an unusual but striking element: the steady pulse of a human heartbeat. Rather than a conceptual gesture, it becomes the f…
Real Fun
*300 copies limited edition* “Life with my son is real fun. For this album, my efforts to make music that documents or evokes moments of grace and gratitude focused more tightly on our time together. In finding inspiration there, the music sometimes became busier, sometimes more pensive. It’s all reflective. There are moments here when you can literally hear us at play, but more often I’m trying to musically articulate the feeling of ‘I’m so glad we’re doing this, right now, together.’

Clarity
To mark 50-years since a 22 year old Michael Gregory Jackson recorded his groundbreaking first release, "Clarity / Circle / Triangle / Square", recorded with the mind blowing group of his contemporaries Oliver Lake, David Murray and Leo Smith. This album is like no other I know, a new world, finding a perfect balance between multiple genres. Moved-By- Sound is very excited and honored to be involved in releasing the first reissue authorized by Michael Gregory Jackson since the original release i…
untitled
*50 copies limited edition* Leon Todd Johnson makes his Past Inside the Present debut with untitled, a three track collection of ambient adjacent instrumental pieces shaped by gentle guitar work, analog textures, and tactile instrumentation. Formerly recording as Airport People, the Indianapolis-based artist has spent years refining a patient, understated approach that feels both immediate and nostalgic.
Each composition balances warmth, restraint, and subtle detail. The music evokes memories th…
Bebe Godzilla
Keyboardist in some of the most talented french progressive bands Heldon, Magma & Weidorje, Patrick Gauthier recorded his debut album « Bebe Godzilla » with an impressive cast of guest musicians including Richard Pinhas (guitar, moog, mix), Christian Vander (drums), Bernard Paganotti (electric bass), François Auger (drums) & Didier Batard (electric bass) just to name a few. The result is an outstanding mixture of electronics, powerful zeuhl, and jazz-rock dominated by synthesizers. First time vi…
12 Conversations
Noton is pleased to announce12 Conversations, a collaborative album by Ryuichi Sakamoto and Alva Noto to be released on 18 September 2026.
A Moment Beyond
*200 copies limited edition* "A Moment Beyond" is the result of a dialogue between Gunnar Smoliansky's photographs (who passed away in 2019) and the composer and musician Danny Clay, initiated by IIKKI, between February 2026 and May 2026.
Danny Clay is a composer who often utilizes classical instruments, open forms, found objects, analog media, and digital errata in his work. He has collaborated with musicians and ensembles throughout the US, including Kronos Quartet, Eighth Blackbird, Third Coa…
Arc
In Arc, Yorkshire-born artist Kirk Barley explores alternative tunings and off-grid sequencing to shape fluid rhythmic and melodic systems that unfold into rich harmonic forms. Kirk’s fourth album under his own name and debut for Marionette continues his exploration of just intonation through a sparse but finely detailed palette of organic atmospheres, metallic shimmer and off-kilter rhythms. Across the record, glassy pads, gamelan metallophones, clarinet and guitar dissolve into fluid, dreamlik…
Sweetly Doing Nothing
Few figures within the long, strange arc of American experimental music have occupied terrain quite as singular as Tom Recchion's. Co-founder, in the mid-1970s, of the Los Angeles Free Music Society - the gloriously unruly collective of basement noise-makers, exotica obsessives, tape manipulators, and assembled-instrument visionaries whose lineage runs through Smegma, the Doo-Dooettes, and Le Forte Four - Recchion has spent the subsequent decades assembling one of the most idiosyncratic bodies o…
Album #1
Originally released in 1980 in very limited quantities, Salty Miller's sole album is a hidden gem of the Beach Music scene. Issued under the unwieldy Beach Music Records of the Carolinas, the album blends soul, disco, and mid-tempo steppers, all perfectly suited to Beach Music's signature dance, the Shag. The album was dreamt up after Miller had stepped away from the music industry, only to return years later, driven by a mix of disposable income and lingering creative regret. Determined to reco…
La Settima Donna
“La Settima Donna” (1978), also known as “The Last House On The Beach”, is a disturbing thriller directed by Franco Prosperi and set in a secluded cottage overlooking the Tyrrhenian sea, starring Florinda Bolkan, in the role of Sister Cristina, governess of five female students on a short vacation, rehearsing their Shakesperean end-of-year play. The unfortunate inhabitants of the house became soon hostages of three vicious criminals looking for a hiding place after a bank robbery, but the psycho…
Enthalpy
*300 copies limited edition* Pressure is the medium of wind players. Wind instruments all sound thanks to pressure differentials, whether that’s the rush of wind over a lip plate or a steady, buzzing exhalation through pursed lips. Ka Baird and Chris Ryan Williams (HxH) are wind players well- schooled in the power of using pressure and movement to amplify the mystery of an invisible force animating a metal tube. They augment their instruments, flute and trumpet respectively, with electronics, so…
Pop
"Pop, the album that has become widely recognized as the defining moment in which Wolfgang Voigt brought us into a clearing of his deep, psychedelic forest. A landmark release in the GAS odyssey that drew international attention, Pop was originally released in 2000 on the iconic Frankfurt imprint Mille Plateaux. Pop was heralded by Pitchfork at the time of release as being “an exercise in sonic texture… pure sonic velvet, the layered drone radiating a palpable warmth.”"Pop blossoms to life in on…
Open Symmetry
Announcing Open Symmetry; New York-based composer Tristan Perich’s first release on Erased Tapes. The 50-minute work for 3 vibraphones and 20-channel 1-bit electronics is performed by the dynamic French group, ensemble 0, who return to Erased Tapes following their 2023 collaboration with Peter Broderick. Perich’s music spans the electronic/classical divide, with explorations that pair string instruments, piano, organ, and other acoustic instrumentation with custom-built 1-bit electronics. Open S…
Turning Japanese: The Nakano Sun Plaza Radio Broadcast
Recorded in 1981, Turning Japanese captures Kraftwerk at the absolute height of their creative dominance, but sometime before their true induction into the household name superstar category of artists. Still representing a very forward thinking, boundary pushing and - as a result - specialist sound, this nine-track live recording feels like yesterday's tomorrow.
Opening with a stunning neo-classical synth overture, we're then taken on a journey through the mind of the man machine, an industrial …
Fragments: The Complete 1969 Salle Pleyel Concerts
On Fragments: The Complete 1969 Salle Pleyel Concerts, The Cecil Taylor Unit detonates across two uncut Paris sets: a newly unearthed, vividly mastered document of Taylor, Sam Rivers, Jimmy Lyons and Andrew Cyrille stretching free jazz into an overwhelming, architectural storm of sound.
To Magnetize Money and Catch a Roving Eye
**A 4+ hours labyrinthine work, previously unreleased** Jim O’Rourke is among the great voices of his generation - a true musical polymath, whose diverse efforts, since his emergence within the Chicago scene during the late 1980s, have continuously altered the creative landscape. Without him - from his relentless support of the careers of neglected artists, to contributions made within the vast and radical diversity of his output - now tracing across hundreds of releases - so much of what is, co…
