"Composition and its performance can have an organic relationship, a balance between written and the improvised. Muriel Grossmann’s wide compositional and performing talents are clearly reflected in four-voice pieces such as Diversity and Quintessence, suite-like compositions such as Flügel and Echo, as well as brisk, energetic works like Andrew. The quartet composed of Radomir Milojkovic on guitar, David Marroquin on upright bass, and Marko Jelaca on drums, has become a sound lab — a group wher…
‘Monochromes II’ is a collection of thirteen solo piano pieces written and performed by Berlin-based composer/pianist Quentin Tolimieri between 2023 and 2025. This is Tolimieri’s second release on elsewhere music, following the 2022 triple album ‘Monochromes’ (elsewhere 022-3). In this new triple album, Tolimieri delves even deeper than in his earlier Monochrome pieces to explore the countless sonic possibilities and resonances that the piano can produce. Aiming to allow the inherently interesti…
Building upon a prolific period that has witnessed the French composer, vocalist, and multi instrumentalist deliver roughly a dozen remarkable releases overthe last five years, Delphine Dora joins Marionette with ‘L’ineluctable pulsation du temps’, what might just be her most astounding release to date. Comprising ten keyboard driven compositions across its two sides, in unfurling sheets of texture, timbre, and tone, Dora draws a constellation of touchstones into her fold — Impressionism, Minim…
A lucky restock of one of the most important archival releases in experimental music: "Apollo and Marsyas: Het Apollohuis 1980-1997, an Anthology of New Music Concepts" - a stunning double CD documenting nearly two decades of radical sound art and experimental performance. Het Apollohuis in Eindhoven was one of Europe's most vital centers for avant-garde music, and this anthology captures the extraordinary scope of programming curated by Paul Panhuysen from 1980 through 1997. From over 500 perfo…
Zos Kia’s music is an essential insight and archival piece into the early work of the industrial scene and particularly of Coil in their formative stages. Their recordings are even darker and more industrial-rooted than much of the Coil material that followed. The music is primal, brutal and reveals the interests that surrounded Coil/Zos Kia and the early years of Thee Temple ov Psychic Youth (TOPY) / Psychic TV...
John Gosling was an original member of Zos Kia (as Joan D'Arc), alongside John …
*100 copies limited edition* Pursuant to PQR’s reissue of San Michael’s and Gandalf’s albums (both sold out in a flash), and more recently of Midsommar’s debut, we continue digging into the gold reserves of the Swedish 70s underground to unearth the highly collectable album by Kontinuerlig Drift (meaning ‘continuous operation’ in Swedish). Just like Gandalf, this is a versatile album, equally split into ethnoprog, psychedelic and bluesy moments, all of which were indispensable facets of the band…
On Hot Five & Hot Seven at 100, Louis Armstrong’s seminal Chicago sides are reborn in vivid new mastering, letting his trumpet solos, daring rhythms and easy charisma speak afresh as the very moment jazz pivots into a true soloist’s art.
*30 copies limited edition* This piece is extremely subtle and contains extensive sections with silence and quasi-silence (obviously intentional and compositional). Virtually all its audio content is completely inaudible through laptop, smartphone or equivalent small speakers. Good quality speakers or headphones –as well as a very quiet surrounding environment– are highly recommended for ideal listening.
*50 copies limited edition* For almost a decade, starting in 1980, I worked almost exclusively with walkman recorders and cheap cassette players. From the beginning, sound recordings were intuitively for me "worlds in themselves", always markedly different from the original "reality", always full of their own thrilling features. I developed my own, very simple -but very efficient- techniques for sound transformation using only cassettes. I couldn't afford the prototypical "experimental" tools of…
Bill Frisell, Kenny Wollesen, and Carol Emanuel are The Gnostic Trio and their unique blend of minimalism, early music, and jazz has resulted in some of the loveliest music Zorn has ever created. “Sing Me Now Asleep” is their first CD in over five years and not surprisingly it explores some unexpected new directions—notably two ambient-influenced pieces in the spirit of Zorn’s Absinthe and Redbird, and a dramatic long form composition in the style of his cinematic file card works. Enhanced by th…
On In Filth Your Mystery Is Kingdom / Far Smile Peasant in Yellow Music, Dagmar Zuniga threads five years of Tascam‑4‑track recordings into a porous, tape‑hazed songbook: fragile transmissions where harmony, hiss and fingertip detail make lo‑fi feel widescreen.
With Nothing in this room is new except the dust, Ivan The Tolerable returns not to a room but to a weather-beaten tract of being — a north-facing interior where wind has a voice and the light is a thin animal nosing the corners. The trio who forged Black Water, Brown Earth and An Orphan Form — Oli Heffernan, Mees Siderius, and Elsa Van Der Linden — move here with the patience of creatures that have learned the seasons of each other’s blood. If the earlier records surveyed land, this one digs in…
Limited to 800 copies! Each book is numbered and signed by the author. Large format book. Descenes and Discords: An Anthology is a powerful time capsule of the birth and evolution of punk music through the pages of two influential fanzines: Descenes and Discords. These publications, originally printed and distributed in Washington, D.C. during the late 1970s and early 1980s, captured the raw energy, irreverent spirit, and revolutionary ethos of the underground music scene - first local, then nat…
*2026 repress* Recorded on February 28, 1971, at the Henie Onstad Art Centre in Høvikodden, Norway, this remarkable document captures Soft Machine at the height of their creative powers—performing two continuous sets that blur the boundaries between composition and improvisation.
On this evening, the British avant-garde ensemble unleashed an unbroken flow of sound—dynamic, exploratory, and charged with the band’s signature blend of jazz, rock, and experimental electronics. All instruments—exce…
When musicians are on tour, conversations naturally turn to music. Two years ago, whilst exploring the jazz kissas and record stores of Tokyo, woodwind maestro Chip Whickham and ATA mastermind and bassist Neil Innes discussed their shared influences of Yusef Lateef, David Axelrod and Alice Coltrane. Sounds and concepts percolated, and before long, both musicians were back in Leeds with The Lewis Express to record material for what would become Doo - Ha! (2025).
The compositions for this album we…
Gwenifer Live at WFMU was recorded on December 8th, at the tail end of Gwenifer Raymond's December North American tour dates. This session captures Gwenifer Raymond performing a stark, spellbinding selection of songs drawn from her critically acclaimed albums Last Night I Heard The Dog Star Bark and Strange Lights Over Garth Mountain. Widely regarded as one of the great folk artists of the 21st century, Raymond has earned international praise for her raw, hypnotic instrumentals rooted in Mississ…

On Music for Pulse Meridian Foliation, Joshua Abrams translates Lisa Alvarado’s immersive installation into gently spiralling sound: two violas, harmonium and electronics tracing slow, minimal arcs that feel like geology moving through the body, memory folding and unfolding in real time.
*300 copies limited edition* A lost jewel of 1970s Japanese psychedelia. Recorded by high school friends Minoru Sasaki and Masanori Nishigaito who spent their days rehearsing in a decrepit abandoned hospital, supported by their friends’ band Momonga. Self-released in 1974 in only 100 copies on the highly collectible Mountain Fuji Record imprint, most surviving copies have surfaced without jackets, further adding to the record’s mystique. For fans of private press psych and Japanese folk rock act…
