Pendulum
A note from Carlos... "I initially recorded all tracks in California between 2024 and 2025. The tracks were then sent to various locations around the world to each collaborator for completion, before returning to me in California for final touches.

The final version was then multiplied and spread all over the world until it reached your ears, the…

Tapestry Of Noise

Slowdown’s 6CD expansion assembles long, previously scattered or hard‑to‑access works into a single, overwhelming fabric that moves from twitching tape‑loop delirium to fully seared harsh‑noise architectures.
Early discs re…
Malign Seeds
There was no premeditated methodology in place when Swedish electronics manipulator Joachim Nordwall and American guitar mangler Aaron Turner decided to collaborate on an album together. Initial experiments involved Turner submitting improvised guitar compositions to Nordwall for dissection and reassembly. While these exercises yielded interesting returns, the project truly began to bloom when Nordwall pitched several beat-oriented tracks for Turner's perusal. Beginning from a place of structure…

The Tapscott Sessions Vol. 6
October in Los Angeles. Horace Tapscott sits down, plays for 38 minutes, gets up. No audience, no applause. Just Tom Albach and his tape machine. This is how monuments get built - one session at a time, one composition at a time, nobody watching. "Ancestral Echoes" opens - nearly thirteen minutes tracing lineages back through time, the piano as time machine. Then Roy Porter's "Jessica," a beautiful detour into someone else's melody, proof that Tapscott could interpret as powerfully as he compose…
