Black Ark (Book)
Black Ark is a 600‑page visual and textual immersion into Lee “Scratch” Perry’s legendary Kingston studio, assembled by Ishion Hutchinson, Kodwo Eshun, Lee Scratch Perry and Veerle Poupeye: a dense, collaged “house‑book” where dub’s sonic revolution is mirrored in murals, talismanic objects and layered histories.
Memory Loss
Sixth release in the MFR Contemporary Series. Greek trio Eventless Plot (Liolios, Giatas, Tsirikoglou), joined by bass clarinetist Chris Cundy, take recent research on music and Alzheimer's disease as starting point: that music helps both retrieve old memories and lay down new ones. Two long compositions are built from repeated patterns creating familiarity, then gradually layered with shifting tone combinations. Instrumentarium includes psaltery, tape (Revox A-77), modular and bass clarinet.
Everybody Else's Life Too
Were you to tap the lifeblood of Chicago music, you would find Josh Berman flowing liberally through its veins. Active on the scene for more than a quarter century, the cornetist, bandleader, and composer has helped retain the unique flavor of the city's soundscape, with particular attention to the music of its jazz past – groups like the Austin High Gang and the Oliver-Armstrong lineage and Freddie Keppard, as well as more recent figures from Lester Bowie to Wadada Leo Smith.
But Berman is more…
Dwaal / Wold +
Originally released by Ghent's Dauw tape label in 2016 and quickly sold out, here reissued on CD with two new interpretations added. The original is a pair of eighteen-minute pieces: Dwaal layers orchestral washes against radio static and erratic noise, while Wold spreads sparse piano notes over a bed of fine hiss, supported by wind and bird recordings from Vriescheloo. The reissue adds remixes by Benoît Pioulard (organ and guitar) and Nicola Ratti (synth sputters and rhythm).
Caveman
Caveman is a document of Stamou's live practice: two complete extracts of solo improvised performances using his 'portable electroacoustic studio'. The setup combines acoustic instruments (prepared zither, reeds, recorders, objects) with handmade electronics, modular synthesis and live-processed feedback loops, producing long continuous pieces built on sustained tonal textures and free improvised solos. What the artist calls ritual noise: a slow-burning, immersive electroacoustic atmosphere.
Obscurum per oscurius
The Latin title - 'explaining the obscure by means of the more obscure' - frames a collection of drones composed by Kouw across an extended period, in which the initial moments of inspiration are deliberately obscured in the final material. Long-form ambient drone work, mostly close to alien stillness with the occasional submerged rhythmic emergence, the album positions itself in the alchemical lineage where the act of explanation projects further mystery into what it claims to clarify.
Moving Music - Sounds From the Rocking Chair
Compilation that grew out of the label's December 2019 crowdfunding campaign. Twenty-four musicians contributed across sixteen tracks, mixing solo pieces with ten new collaborations (TVO & Jos Smolders, Radboud Mens & BJ Nilsen, Kouw & Petrovic, and others). The set holds together with surprising consistency across modular composition, minimalist ambient drone and electroacoustic experiment, functioning as a cross-section of the label's network at a precise moment.
Vauville
Debut album by the young Belgian composer Ryan Van Haesendonck, mastered by Stephan Mathieu. The pieces grew from a week spent on the quiet beaches of Normandy, then continued in Brussels after his move from Antwerp. The vocabulary combines field recordings of church bells, improvised organ sessions, urban recordings of the new city and saxophone passages by Silke Bull, layered into eight short pieces. Cinema-informed ambient on the theme of solitude and self-preservation.
Lights shimmered like whispers in the depths of the trees
Textures of belonging, relentlessly woven into the epigenetics, layer upon layer, building palimpsests of human existence that are both fragile and resilient, with nothing but a wobbly strand of DNA. The way our grandparents' experiences spill across our systems, the way their grandparents’ experiences formed them in the first place, like a busy cityscape humming in the background, keeping the flow, making things operate, and despite their physical peril, hearts still flicker and divulge poetry …
Love & Noise
Reemerging three decades on, C.C.C.C.’s Love & Noise hits vinyl for the first time, a still‑devastating artefact where Mayuko Hino’s charged electronics and Hiroshi Hasegawa’s Moog storms turn harsh sonics into something crushing, psychedelic and strangely exultant.
Ecophony Rinne
One of the most innovative and ambitious albums ever made, Genioh Yamashirogumi’s Ecophony Rinne is a sonic masterpiece featuring over 200 musicians that expanded the limits of what music and sound could do.
Einsjaeger & Siebenjaeger
Among the most luminous records ever issued by Popol Vuh, and one of the high points in the singular spiritual arc traced by Florian Fricke across more than three decades of work. Esoteric, reissuing the album on vinyl on July 31st, 2026 in a fresh cut prepared at AIR Studios, London, returns to print one of the essential statements of 1970s German music.
By the time Fricke entered the studio in Munich in 1974 with Daniel Fichelscher on guitars and percussion, Djong Yun on vocals, and Olaf Küble…
Archives Box 1983-2005
A spellbinding five-CD box set documenting the entire enigmatic production of one of the missing links in experimental electronic and prototypical industrial music: Anne Gillis. From her groundbreaking 1983 Devil's Picnic release through her 2005 installations and exhibitions, this comprehensive collection unveils the hidden world of a visionary French composer whose work anticipated much of what would follow in electroacoustic composition and sound art.
Since the early 1980s, Manon Anne Gillis …
Acustica
Composed between 1968 and 1970 and originally issued by Deutsche Grammophon in 1972, there are arguably few works within the canon of 20th Century experimental music as beloved and sought after as the Argentine composer Mauricio Kagel’s Acustica. Created for “experimental sound-producers and loudspeakers”, comprising electroacoustic material assembled on 4-track tape in 1969 at Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR) in Cologne, and acoustic material for 2 to 5 musicians, scored over roughly 200 filing-ca…
Industrial tape
This is where it begins. Recorded in May 1980 and self-released the same year as catalogue number 01, Industrial Tape is the founding document of the MB project, the first cassette Maurizio Bianchi issued under his new name after closing the Sacher-Pelz chapter. Working alone in his home in the Mantuan town of Pomponesco, twenty-four years old, equipped with little more than an analogue synthesiser, a tape machine, and a small bank of effects, Bianchi laid down four pieces that would set in moti…
Leg End
* Remastered repress. Comes with printed inner sleeve. * Leg End is the debut of Henry Cow, recorded at Virgin's Manor studios in May and June 1973 and released that summer. The band had formed five years earlier around two Cambridge students, Fred Frith and Tim Hodgkinson, and had spent the intervening time building a reputation in London's experimental margins, running their own concert series under names like Cabaret Voltaire and Explorers' Club, sharing stages with Lol Coxhill and Derek Bail…
Terreng
Long-form duo work between Balázs Pándi (percussion) and Jon Wesseltoft (electronics), shaped as an open landscape of contrasts articulating space in both time and depth. The two players alternately trade and merge their instrumental identities, generating zones of improvised openness alongside densely constructed electroacoustic narrative. The vocabulary moves between quiet, ritually framed rhythmic space and saturated information, held as deliberate counterweights.
Rest In Peace: The Final Concert
On Rest In Peace: The Final Concert, Bauhaus capture their 1983 Hammersmith Palais swan song across two discs, delivering gothic rock's founding quartet - Peter Murphy, Daniel Ash, David J and Kevin Haskins - at their theatrical, darkly charged peak before dissolving into legend.
Mushin
On Mushin, Susana Santos Silva and Vasco Trilla strip trumpet and percussion down to pure responsiveness, letting sound arise and vanish like breath in a Zen exercise, where every gesture feels both unpremeditated and utterly focused.
Kilkenny Electroacoustic Research Laboratory Anthology Vol. 3 - The Stray Sod
