Ritual Fever
There are moments of silent depth in which the winter of the scalpel of meaning and the spring of the sound-born, unleashed body look upon the world fully present. When the notes at last are heard, the ordered world is their indistinguishable score. The ritual of process is that which carries. The process of ritual is that which brings moments both transitory and immortal, apprehended by musician, seer, clairvoyant, herald; the welling tones that emanate from the crystal salt of shattered pri…
Perpetual Guest
For a few days at the end of July 2023, I curated a series of concerts and recordings in a few spaces in the historic, now-defunct Kreenholm Textile Factory in Narva, Estonia, a stone's throw from the Russian border. In Kreenholm's reverberant rooms, these sessions reflected on the layers of history, labor, conflict, and lives past and present that have shaped the factory and the constantly re-evolv- ing border city. A large and unexpected part of this project involved the restoration of an anti…
Icarus Tapes #1
*2025 stock* Icarus Records proudly presents Icarus Tapes #1: Bow, Icarus Live Session #59, a live performance recorded for the Icarus Radio Show, a weekly radioshow broadcast at Belgian radiostation Urgent.fm.
One afternoon in March 2019, a Ghent studio at the edge of an arm of the Scheldt river, the 5 musicians of Bow settled down and got ready. After a glance and a deep breath, the 5 fellows leap into the void.
Bow takes the gamble for this recorded radio session to improvise its music en…

The album emerged during a period of transition and upheaval for both members, dividing t…
Memoria
This collaboration between Colombian Drone Mafia and Gibrana Cervantes is the beginning and end of a fragile geography, like the magic and mafia of our platanal, a bridge between the Americas. CDM is the new alias of Nyksan, Bogota-born DJ, sound artist and co-founder of TraTraTrax. Here, he joins forces with Mexican composer and violinist Gibrana Cervantes, one of the most outstanding string voices sounding across the most vital electronic and avant-garde music scenes of recent years. Together,…
Time Lapse Of Wet Fire
*50 copies limited edition* Visionary experimental project Orphan Parapet announces the release of its latest full-length work, Time Lapse Of Wet Fire, a daring exploration of sound, memory, and atmosphere. Following a string of cult releases that established the artist as one of the most unclassifiable names in the underground electronic landscape, this new album crystallizes Orphan Parapet’s ongoing search for intensity, fragility, and abstraction.
Time Lapse Of Wet Fire unfolds like a halluc…
Bryter Layter
**2018 repress. Reissue on heavyweight vinyl in textured sleeve** With even more of the Fairport Convention crew helping him out -- including bassist Dave Pegg and drummer Dave Mattacks along with, again, a bit of help from Richard Thompson -- as well as John Cale and a variety of others, Drake tackled another excellent selection of songs on his second album. Demonstrating the abilities shown on Five Leaves Left didn't consist of a fluke, Bryter Layter featured another set of exquisitely arrange…
Hypotaedium
Hypotaedium is a 45-minute acousmatic composition consisting of 11 parts. The piece was conceived utilising the seven reverberation chambers at Tou Scene and the performance was recorded by Gaute Granli. This is Kjetil Brandsdal and Thore Warland’s fifth album and also the fifth in a series of records on Drid Machine Records featuring hand assembled and foil stamped Procédé Heliophore covers. Much like the source material that is re-worked, looped and cut-up throughout the piece itself, the cove…
Eventual
Los Angeles-based sound artist, composer and Line imprint curator Richard Chartier returns to 901 Editions with “Eventual”, his first solo album for the label. This work follows two collaborations with fellow American artist Yann Novak (“Undefined”, 2013), and Dutch harpist Gwyneth Wentink as Pinkcourtesyphone (“Elision”, 2016). “Eventual” probes the nuanced interrelations between sound and silence, engaging audiences in attentive listening and a heightened sense of spatial and temporal percepti…
Opus
In the autumn of 2022, knowing his time was running out, Ryuichi Sakamoto summoned every ounce of his remaining strength to give us one last, definitive performance. Opus is that performance - a solo piano concert capturing one of the world's greatest musicians in his most vulnerable and transcendent moment. Curated and sequenced by Sakamoto himself, the twenty pieces wordlessly tell the story of his life and his vast body of work. The selection spans his entire career: from his pop-star period …
Ipnagogico
Al Doum & The Faryds have always been an enchanting organism, a timeless land of wisdom, humility, brotherhood and love. Their blend of spiritual jazz, psychedelia and Afro-Latin rock holds a magical balance, turning their music into a tropical celebration filled with harmony and deep vibrations. A volcano of emotion, where the poetry of rising and falling voices becomes a gospel and soul illumination, echoing from faraway places. The expanded horn section — alto and tenor sax, soprano sax and b…
The Second Coming
180 Gram Vinyl - Limited Edition Lenticular Cover. Silver-Tongued Colored Viny. California, 1972. While Anton LaVey held court at his Black House in San Francisco, issuing pronouncements and recording The Satanic Mass for a growing cult of devotees, a more obscure ceremony was being committed to tape somewhere in Los Angeles. No press releases. No magazine profiles. No celebrity weddings or baptisms for the cameras. Just a man named Robert Jamra, an unknown organist, and a series of rituals so b…

Sphēra
Fusing decades of underground New York jazz with contemporary electronics, Daniel Carter and N/UM’s Sphēra takes listeners on a spontaneous and daring journey through generations of improvised music. A telepathic meeting between the mellowed out, octogenarian free jazz legend and an experienced trio at the peak of their powers, Sphēra coalesces into a whole far exceeding the sum of its parts.
Return of Black September
The excellent Black September, a continuous, five-part, 68-minute epic, is as formidably competent as ever, although more for the brooding, surreal nature of its soundworld than for its grooves, which here sound almost subsidiary. The soul samples and restlessly evolving minor-chord kaleidoscopes that unfold throughout the work is prima facie evidence of a musician on a roll. Boldly named after one of the most notorious Palestinian terrorist organizations, the group which carried out the Israeli…
Midnight Sugar
This is the monumental first album by Tsuyoshi Yamamoto, who later became one of the two major artists on the TBM label along with Isao Suzuki. A groovy and heartwarming popular disc by the Japanese piano trio

Dah Nah
