Drifting
*300 copies limited edition* ‘Drifting’ is the very first collaboration between Andrew Chalk and Daisuke Suzuki, which has remained unsurfaced since then-their private recording in 1996. In early 1996 Daisuke sent Andrew a DAT tape which included some unedited pieces that he recorded with found objects in his garden. Those fragments of recordings inspired Andrew to make a spontaneous recording and he made a live mix directly to cassette recorder with his instinct and archaic vision. ‘Drifting’ i…
Soundsphere
Akio Suzuki has always been an artist in search of unexpected sound, and curiosity has been his guiding principle. Whether that be curiosity for objects, spaces or places, his work has been guided by a porousness and pliability which has allowed him to explore an enormous sonic terrain. This freedom has also allowed him to develop a language in sound that remains utterly his own. Nowhere is this more evident than in his approach to instrument creation. During the 1970s Akio Suzuki devised a seri…
Organic Music Society
** Temporary reduced price ** Quoting Dusted magazine "This is not a jazz album. This is the music of ritual. Any resemblance it has to jazz is purely coincidental and passing. This is the sound of utopia, of equality, of the universal egalitarian dream, of the earth, the water, and the life force in all its various guises." and "This is an album of education in practice. Don Cherry spent the summer of 1971 teaching at a youth music camp normally devoted to the study of classical music. Somewher…
Flowers Of Loneliness
Acoustic ambient from the headquarter. Late night recordings for sleepless recluses
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 …
The Martin Glass Affair
After a handful of early summer aperitivi, we're proud to present a handsome album of new recordings from Martin Glass. “The Martin Glass Affair” sees our quixotic star riding the sumptuous curves of the Amalfitana, channelling the sun kissed spirit of '60s Italian lounge, european radiophonica and Hitchcock’s riviera as he goes. Rekindling the magic of 2017’s cult classic “Pacific Visions”, this is lavish modern psychedelia for fans of Vegyn, Nana Sinephro, Visible Cloaks and Christobal Tapia D…
Music With Changing Parts
* First-time vinyl reissue, gatefold sleeve * Philip Glass, the great American composer, was already in his mid-30s before his first album appeared, and then only because he produced the double LP himself. Music With Changing Parts was the inaugural release on his own Chatham Square imprint in 1971. At this point, Einstein on the Beach, Glass' first opera, was still five years away. Yet in Changing Parts, one can already hear much of his vocabulary in full bloom: the buoyant arpeggios, the meldi…
Electric Salad
*Lucky restock* Originally released in 1996, Electric Salad captures Merzbow at one of his most intense and uncompromising moments. Masami Akita builds a dense sonic landscape from layers of distortion, feedback, electronic noise and shifting frequencies.The album pushes noise into a physical and immersive experience, where structure and chaos constantly collide. A powerful document of Merzbow's exploration of extreme sound as a raw and compositional material.

Conceived as a reader, this volume includ…
Laugh At The Devil
Tip! *2024 reprint* Dead Door Unit is the alias of Northeastern US artist Ken Geiger. The project follows in an exploratory vein of tape-recorded junk noise and field recordings. "Laugh At The Devil" is a work raucously out-of-time, bringing to mind the murk of mid-aughts Hanson releases or even the obscure malice of Dom Fernow's earlier work. Geiger breeds a fresh perspective through destruction and reassembly; "desperation."
Carte Blanche
*300 copies limited edition* "There is one world, no rules, no fixed ideals - not even chaos exists. Sometimes the awareness of the ridiculously short existence overcomes you, framed in sick trivialities. And yet there is hope in the midst of the absurd and this publication tells of it. No teaching! No warning! No example! Just a report." - Hospital
LP in quality die cut foil stamped jacket with inner sleeve. Black vinyl edition.

Dialoghi del Presente
Naples, 1977. Luciano Cilio's sole recorded work is pure magic - four "quadri" where strings, woodwinds, wordless voices and solitary guitar trace the edges of silence. Closer to Arvo Pärt and Morton Feldman than to any Italian prog, yet entirely its own universe. Music that breathes, suspends time, breaks your heart without raising its voice. Decades ahead of its time. First ever remaster from the original tapes.
Three Glasses
Composed by Takahiro Kawaguchi. Performed by Shinjiro Yamaguchi, Satoshi Kanda, Kanako Kawaguchi and Takahiro Kawaguchi. Droplets of water are set to drip from three infusion containers suspended from the ceiling, each at a different speed. Each of the three players produce sound by rubbing with their fingers a wine glass that catches the droplets from one of the containers, with the scale changing according to the amount of water that accumulates. The first track documents this process for te…
The Heart Is a Lotus
On The Heart Is A Lotus, The Michael Garrick Sextet with Norma Winstone trace a quietly radical path through British jazz: modal, spiritual and poetically inclined, with Winstone’s voice drifting inside the ensemble like vapor rather than standing in front of it.
Psychorazer
*In process of stocking. 200 copies limited edition* "An odd release that doesn't seem to follow any sort of a recognizable theme or singular approach to noise, just three random tracks pasted together. In the first track there's not much interesting variation within it. The second track is a cool Music for Films evoking electronic drone that's also 56 seconds long. The main course here is the third track, which is a massive beast of thick fuzz that has a very strange, "rattly" effect to it, ach…
Switched On Bob Moog and the Synthesizer Revolution (Book)
490 pages, hardback, with 60 black and white photographs. Foreword by Francis Ford Coppola. Published by Oxford University Press. Voltage control. Two words, and everything downstream of them: the oscillator that tracks a keyboard, the envelope that shapes a note's attack and decay, the ladder filter that gives a sawtooth its wet, vocal edge. These are the grammar of the instrument, and they are almost all his. Anyone who has turned a cutoff knob has touched Bob Moog's thinking. He died in 2005 …
