On Live in Europe 1968 & 1972, Marion Brown leads a borderless quartet through two rare European concerts, pairing his singing alto with Gunter Hampel's vibes, Barre Phillips' bass and Steve McCall's drums in a sound that hovers between lyrical free jazz and chamber‑like intimacy.

*250 copies limited edition* Venus is a new LP by Swedish group Organ of Corti and marks their fifth release on Dead Mind Records. For the occasion, Chinese-American vocalist and musician Audrey Chen enters the magnetic world of Mattias Gustafsson, Dan Johansson and Joachim Nordwall. While tape turns and circuits hum, these six pieces slowly unfold. Familiar fragments are repeated until they lose their origin. Synthesizer tones drift through layers of magnetic residue, while Chen's voice appears…

Sold out at the label. Sparkling or Silent finds crys cole and Oren Ambarchi pausing their restless, always‑on‑the-move discographies at a curious angle, as if turning the light slightly to see what has been glinting at the edges all along. Both artists have long carried an electroacoustic sensibility in their work - in cole’s hyper‑attentive treatment of small sounds and negative space, in Ambarchi’s use of guitar and electronics as malleable matter rather than fixed instruments - but here that…

Following two remix EPs featuring reworks by Mad Professor, Peaking Lights and Danilo Plessow, Sensible Soccers return with Camminando di Notte, an album exploring the space where instrumental electronics, organic rhythms and dub-inflected textures converge into a sound of warm, hypnotic and subtly disorienting beauty.The album opens with “Chuva Morna” and "Balsinha Mentirosa", setting the tone with softly played guitars, hazy electronics and rarefied percussion. Rather than moving towards a con…

The long and prolific career of Piero Umiliani, also consisting of dozens of collaborations for television and cinema, has given (and is still delivering, given the amount of material that is finally coming back to light) a long series of experimental albums and music libraries that showcase his songwriting skills, as well as a natural curiosity towards avant-garde and more ‘difficult’ sounds. We can attribute to the second category this “Percussioni ed effetti speciali”, a title that clarifies …

Zeena Parkins' 1992 album recorded in New York: electric harp, keyboards and tape with Ikue Mori on drums, Chris Cochrane on guitar, David Shea, and her sisters Margaret and Sara on cello, violin and voice.

"Historically, ensembles combining taishōgoto and bagpipes (at least inside the milieu of “jazz”) have been on the tame side. The Winkler Twins, Dagnabbit, CUZ and other such units pandered to the bowtie set so exclusively that many people have all but dismissed the instruments as hopelessly moldy or even (in the words of critic Milo Fine) “tools of fascism and complacency.” That said, it is my pleasure to announce that the duo of William “Bill” Nace and Dave “David” Watson has made a mighty eff…

Featuring Alexander von Schlippenbach and Aki Takase both on piano, recorded at Cafe Amores in Yamaguchi. Japan in August of 1995. Although Ms. Takase and Mr. Schlippenbach have been married for many years (she moved to Berlin in 1987), it seems as if their music collaborations began in the early 1990’s.

Beautiful edition! Takis was born in 1925 in Athens. Preferring, as a matter of principle, to teach himself rather study in a institution, he left Greece in 1954 and lived as a citizen of the world, traveling through Europe and the USA. Some of his earliest manifestations in the 1940s consisted of explosions carried out in open places. His first Signals date from 1954: they were rods consisting of piano wires which created musical vibrations as they stuck against each other in the wind. In fact …

*In process of stocking* 'Felicia Atkinson’s music always puts the listener somewhere in particular. There are two categories of place that are important to Image Language: the house and the landscape. Inside and outside, different ways of orienting a body towards the world. They are in dialogue, insofar as in the places Atkinson made this record—Leman Lake, during a residency at La Becque in Switzerland, and at her home on the wild coast of Normandy—the landscape is what is waiting for you when…

Space Afrika, the Manchester/Berlin-based duo of Joshua Tarelle Reid and Joshua Inyang, make raw, intensely detailed, visceral music with shades of ambient, trip-hop, techno, and modern classical, drawing spacious urban dubscapes from the contours of their city. 'Quiet Storm', the duo's highly anticipated follow-up to their 2021 LP on Dais Records, expands on its predecessor’s sound and scale in every direction as a sprawling, collaborative vision shaped with profound patience and intention. The…

Its members rank as some of the most celebrated and distinct free improvisers in Europe, e…

On Testing the Waters, crys cole follows water through five electroacoustic chapters of drift, friction and slow transformation. Field recordings, instruments and electronics seep into one another, forming a 2023 WDR 3 commission where trickles, resonances and submerged textures continually retune the ear, making movement feel tactile, uncertain and quietly alive.

*300 copies limited edition* "Silver Tendril" like his recent work, it focuses on the nuances of the sound's "physicality." The intensity of the '90s returns in a refined form, withadded nuance and subtlety. Where "Pulse Demon" emphasized that raw directness (which alreadyforeshadowed the Harsh Noise Wall), "Silver Tendril" develops rhythmic structures within whichsonic chaos suddenly erupts. This is not TNB-style chaos, but rather a gradual breakdown, a perverse shift from structure to chaos.

Outre-nuit as Outre-noir by Pierre Soulages, the greatest nuances on subtle variations. The programme can be listened to in one go between Clara's two compositions, it's Xnoybis, an extraordinary performance by the great Giacinto Scelsi - a piece that makes you feel like you're listening for the first time - Giacinto Scelsi's Xnoybis (1964) is a journey amongst the reliefs contained within one single pitch. Written in three parts, the piece is an instinctive approach to the sound spectrum (the t…
