Invisible
On Invisible, Mike Majkowski delivers a set of six immersive compositions situated at the intersection of ambient dub and textural electronica. Spanning 2019 to 2025, the album’s subtly evolving loops and enveloping atmospheres invite a deep listening experience, foregrounding mood and sonic presence over melodic statement.
10
2023 marks the tenth year of Music From Memory; a decade of groundbreaking archival releases, cross-generational collaborations and long-standing creative partnerships with our ever-expanding community of artists. To celebrate this milestone, earlier this year we asked our roster of artists to submit a piece of music for an anniversary compilation. As submissions gradually came in, we were blown away by what we received and slowly began to piece them together into what was to become “10”. Featur…
The Stone
Mega Tip! Purple Trap, the powerful trio of Keiji Haino (voice, guitar), Bill Laswell on bass, and Rashied Ali (drums), recorded live on stage at The Stone. Recorded in December 2005, this furious live album by what can easily be called a super group remained unreleased till in 2023 Bill Laswell made it accessible in a rough-mixed digital version for his bandcamp subscribers program exclusively. For this vinyl version, the music has been newly mixed by Dirk Dresselhaus (SchneiderTM) and mastered…
Distant Space Confined
Like crystal radio receivers powered by leaking car batteries randomly attuned to pick up garbled slices of hyper carrier waves, the magnetic stereo tape release Distant Space Confined on Hospital Productions echoes the dark and deep distant time death throes of entire worlds in seemingly empty space. Faint signals which relate cataclysmic events millions of aeons back or forward, catapulted in angles which should not exist, through the cracked veneer of a holographic sideshow universe.

Seddok, L'Erede di Satana
In 1960, when Armando Trovajoli composed the soundtrack for Anton Giulio Majano's horror film Seddok, L'Erede Di Satana (known internationally as Atom Age Vampire and Lycanthropus), the landscape of electronic music was still in its infancy. The Moog synthesizer wouldn't reach commercial availability until 1964. Wendy Carlos' groundbreaking Switched-On Bach was still eight years away. Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, and the entire krautrock movement lay a decade in the future. Yet here was Trovajoli…
Poems From A Rooftop
Oliver Doerell and Roger Doering's Dictaphone might not be the most prolific project around, but what they lack in frequency they make up for in sheer impact. 'Poems from a rooftop' is their third album in ten years, and is the first to feature new member Alexander Stolze on violin. The dusty, haunted jazz of 'M.=addiction' and 'Vertigo II' is still visible, but joined by Stolze's shimmering string tones, giving the already rich sound a further layer of depth.
The title 'Poems from a rooftop' co…
Melle-Aan-Zee
Melle-Aan-Zee is the latest lo-fi recorded collection of improvised pieces by Ghent-based occasional psych folk, kraut infused jam collective De Regering Van Treffelijke Zaken, which seems to continue to give birth to compositions that defy convention and exceed expectations. Just as their sporadic meet-ups seemingly cannot be planned, their enigmatic worlds of sound unfold through pure improvisation, sense of experimentation, a confluence of coincidences and reasoned skits. There's a special ki…
Folklore & Concepts
Folklore & Concepts, the latest release by Smegma—now five decades into their outsider avant-garde career—extends the band’s legacy of ritualistic collage, spontaneous improvisation, and anti-academic noise. Infused with tape, synths, prepared piano, horns, and voice, the album melds shamanistic energy with surreal group interplay, creating an unpredictable and stubbornly original sonic tapestry.
Paris 1942
"Difficult as it may be to imagine, there was a time when Sun City Girls did not exist. Prior to the Bishop brothers teaming up with drummer/shaman Charlie Gocher to form SCG's classic trio lineup, there were various ad-hoc assemblages of local Phoenix-area freaks and weirdos – groups which existed only long enough to play a single gig, open mic or house party before disbanding without a trace. Hatched from this milieu was Paris 1942, a short-lived band formed by guitarist Jesse Srogoncik that i…

The Vestige
The Vestige is the first fruit of a new intergenerational collaboration between Giuseppe Ielasi, a quietly prolific key contributor to the European experimental music scene for over twenty years, and Jack Sheen, a young composer-conductor-sound artist from Manchester whose recent projects have seen him moving seamlessly from enigmatic chamber music composition and installations to conducting the London Symphony Orchestra.
Their materials and working methods differ significantly, with Ielasi havi…

Strategic Structures
Strategic Structures unites Kat Epple, Bob Stohl, and Robert Rauschenberg in a 1989 suite where metallic sculptures and lush electronics intertwine.

Round Sky

The album’s three compositions subtly merge analogue synthesizer, harpsichord, spinet, bass, flute, and guitar in landscapes of nuanced minimalism. Methodical in structure yet alive to spontaneous beauty, the record unfolds as a quietly luminous meditation on the complexities of harmony and texture.
In the Depth of Illusion: A Soundtrack for Nervous Magic Lantern
"Ken Jacobs, an essential figure of avant-garde cinema, and I had over-a-decade-long collaboration. We first performed fo his Nervous Magic Lantern project at the Argos Festival in Brussels in 2007. Before flying to Europe, Ken invited me to the top-floor loft on Chambers Street in TriBeCa, where Ken and his wife, Flo, have lived and worked since 1965, to experience a private screening. He turned on the apparatus and the image flashed onto the screen: geometric patterns — something of a Rorschac…
