Tip! Turin is a city of crumbing facades and fading surfaces. A memorial to regal splendour and industrial boom. Behind every door is a different world. Pass through a grand double-door in the southern part of the city into a quiet courtyard, through into a small room with a high ceiling and cracked white coving. The room holds a modest studio set up, everything laid out as if the occupant just left. It’s a workshop, littered with blank cassettes, sepia-tinted journals and unidentified family sc…

How do we listen when we know the human is absent? Neue Deutsche Kunst present a collection of music created for their own films, from Bubblegum Pop (literally - the first track is about Kaugummi), Dada Chanson, sugary Psychedelia, Cartoon Prog, Fake Jazz - documenting a period of Unheimlichkeit in the technological development of humankind. The music was neither composed nor recorded, no soundwaves were moved, no microphones abused. Absurd lyrics speak of non-reality, LSD, violence and revoluti…
On Mount Analogue, Bill Laswell and P.ST assemble an international cast to translate René Daumal’s unfinished mountain allegory into a two‑disc sonic ascent: a six‑part electro‑acoustic “novel” and a mirrored peak of solo guitar visions from Henry Kaiser, refracted through Jodorowsky’s The Holy Mountain.
Un Ent Los is a composition of a total of 36 electroacoustic miniatures, for which Johannes S. Sistermanns has drawn from his wide-ranging audio archive.
The material of his composed, fleeting sound moments are sounds of the numerous musical instruments he plays and their electroacoustic transformation. In addition, field recordings from the Australian outback and the soundscapes of metropolises such as Shanghai, Hong Kong or New York can be heard, as well as the diverse resonance sounds that Si…
In between being one of the most recorded studio drummers of all time, the beat-maestro extraordinaire Bernard Purdie squeezed in a few sessions of his own. Purdie Good! was recorded early in 1971 by legendary engineer and audio obsessive Rudy Van Gelder, at his bespoke studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, and has all the quality hallmarks of that esteemed locale. Three Purdie-penned originals are balanced by three covers of hits-du-jour, utmost among them a blazing romp through James Brown’s…

On Tropos of Entropy, MNEM pushes Finnish experimental noise into a slow implosion: corroded tape loops, collapsing pressure systems and unstable, cosmic atmospheres sketch a world where structure erodes in real time yet focus never wavers.

Edition of 300. Comes with a 8-page booklet. In 1969, while American minimalism was consolidating into its most recognizable forms, Charlemagne Palestine was conducting solitary experiments with oscillators and sine waves that only now reveal their visionary scope. This was the New York of lofts and abandoned industrial spaces, of artists pushing sound toward its physical limits - a city where the boundaries between music, performance art, and bodily endurance were dissolving. Battling the Invis…

It is widely regarded by music critics as one of the greatest Brazilian albums of all time.
Geography lesson: "Riding the San Andreas" - living on a fault line, waiting for the shake. "Southwester Avenue Shuffle" - street-level LA, the neighborhood Tapscott never left. "On the Nile" - Africa, always Africa, even from a piano bench in South Central. Then the portraits: "Amanda's Tone Poem," "Sonnet of Butterfly McQueen" - dedicated to the actress who refused to play maids after Gone with the Wind, who said no when no was dangerous. "Yesterday's Dream" looks back. Thelonious Monk's "'Rou…

"Although alto saxophonist Noah Howard never quite managed to garner the reputation that several of his more well-known playing partners did, to those 'in the know', he was every bit as essential and extraordinary as Archie Shepp and Albert Ayler. A player and composer of direct and emotionally charged music, Howard's career saw him bear witness to some of the most tumultuous periods in jazz, giving voice to the cry for freedom – both musical and political – that characterised the late 1960s and…
On Third Night Sparks, Akio Jeimus, Risa Takeda and T. Mikawa bottle a one‑off Bar Isshee trio into a crackling nocturne of electronics and synths, where noise iconoclasm and poised, in‑the‑moment listening fuse into a single live current.
On Postcards from Arrakis, BeNe GeSSeRiT turn early‑’80s bedroom electronics into a fractured sci‑fi cabaret, where Alain Neffe’s minimal, skewed backdrops and Nadine Bal’s bilingual/imaginary vocal spills collide in short, surreal missives from a parallel cheap‑cosmic Belgium.
