Mectpyo Box
**Edition of 200, very last copies available** Maurizio Bianchi - aka M.B. - began composing in 1979, working in the lineage of Pierre Schaeffer's musique concrète: a practice rooted in the concrete manipulation of recorded sound rather than traditional notation. His stated aim was "to produce technological sounds and in such a way to work on complete realising of the modern decadence". From his early tape works as Sacher-Pelz to the LPs issued between 1981 and 1984, M.B. developed a singular co…
Cold Calling on the Spirit Line
A transmission from the borderlands of sound, Cold Calling on the Spirit Line brings together the singular musical world of Perzeptiverdampfkesselqualmtbesinnlich and the unmistakable voice and imagination of Edward Ka-Spel. Strange, intimate and quietly unsettling, the album unfolds like a late-night conversation with the unknown. Its songs move through fractured landscapes of dream logic, spectral electronics and shadowy atmospheres, where familiar signals become distorted and every message se…

Live at the Brand

Paysages Planétaires
Paysages Planétaires on Alga Marghen may be the great unrecognized masterpiece of ethno-electroacoustic music, a 3CD box that arrived in 2004 with almost no fanfare and has waited two decades for ears ready to hear it. Henri Pousseur and Michel Butor, collaborators across forty years and more than twenty works, here achieve something that resonates uncannily with Jon Hassell and Brian Eno's "Fourth World" concept. Yet Pousseur, the serialist pioneer who worked alongside Karlheinz Stockhausen and…
Anti-film Reworked
*300 copies limited edition* A compilation of tracks constructed using audio from an anti-film project originally conducted by The New Blockaders.
Moder
Henriette Eilertsen's solo debut from 2021, "Poems for flute", is regarded by many as one of the classics in the Motvind Records catalogue. Since then, many concertgoers have also been thrilled by the flautists fresh trio, with Joel Ring (cello & electronics) and Øystein Aarnes Vik (drums). Finally, we are all approaching the opportunity to dive deep into this warm, mysterious and alluring sonic bath. Henriette Eilertsen Trio's debut album "Moder" is characterized by captivating compositions, an…
Knotting
Since its debut on two releases from 2011 and 2012 (the live Hit & Run with Joe Talia and the studio Audience of One), the epic structured improvisational piece ‘Knots’ has formed a staple of Oren Ambarchi’s live performances. Like a jazz musician searching for ever-new ways to play a standard, the guitarist has repeatedly brought the piece to life in a variety of settings ranging from guitar/drums duets to a large ensemble replete with string section, with each iteration bringing with it new va…
Baquet Wheel
Kyoto trio Kukangendai return on Marionette with Baquet Wheel, five tracks of purely acoustic minimalism recorded live through Taku Unami’s binaural microphone. Through collage-like repetition the band fold jazz, krautrock, blues and Tuareg into one unified, timeless rhythm – primitive, precise, and impossible to place in time.
Kunstkopfindianer
CD deluxe, gatefold mini LP replica with obi & Japanese insert. Fantastic work from avant saxophonist Hans Koller – rare material that stands with the best Free Sound albums he released for MPS in the 70s! By this point in his career, Koller was really exploding with talent – a sax player who first begun in the postwar years with modes that were more California modern, but expanded and changed throughout the 60s – to the point where Hans was one of the most open-minded, freely-creative musicians…
Unfamiliar Music (Paris)
Sold out at the label. Sparkling or Silent finds crys cole and Oren Ambarchi pausing their restless, always‑on‑the-move discographies at a curious angle, as if turning the light slightly to see what has been glinting at the edges all along. Both artists have long carried an electroacoustic sensibility in their work - in cole’s hyper‑attentive treatment of small sounds and negative space, in Ambarchi’s use of guitar and electronics as malleable matter rather than fixed instruments - but here that…
Goin’ Home
Albert Ayler did it once, and only once. On February 24, 1964, in New York, on the same day as the session that would become Spirits, he recorded a program of spirituals and standards with no screaming, no glossolalia, no demolition of form: "Goin' Home", "Ol' Man River", "Down By The Riverside", "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot", "Deep River", "When The Saints Go Marchin' In", "Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen". Songs of suffering and salvation, played with a devotional restraint that hits harder th…
R.N.A.O Meets P.O.P.O
Deluxe vinyl reissue of R.N.A. Organism's sole LP, remastered by Stephan Mathieu from brand new transfers of the original reel-to-reel tapes. Pressed by RTI, and housed in a hefty Stoughton tip-on sleeve, this edition also includes an expanded insert with an illuminating essay by producer Kaoru Sato. A key document of the late ’70s experimental music scene in Kansai, Japan, R.N.A. Organism’s R.N.A.O Meets P.O.P.O (first released by legendary Osaka label Vanity Records in 1980) is a hallucinatory…
Siena Sessions
One of the critical figures in Chicago's creative music scene, alto saxophonist Nick Mazzarella has been a mainstay for over 25 years as a leader, composer, and player. This gorgeous recording was made at Shape Shoppe Paradiso, the Italian studio of former Chicagoan Griffin Rodriguez. Mazzarella was introduced to bassist Silvia Bolognesi by cellist Tomeka Reid, and he began informally playing with Silvia and drummer Cristiano Calcangile in 2016. Seven years later, Bolognesi invited Mazzarella to…
Bugs
*100 copies limited edition* Inspired by macro photography, field recordings and the hidden world of insects, "Bugs" explores the fragile boundary between nature and electronics. Built through instinctive improvisations with analog synthesizers, acoustic instruments, drum machines and environmental recordings, the album unfolds as a collection of immersive sonic landscapes suspended between twilight and darkness. Rather than describing the natural world, "Bugs" magnifies it, transforming tiny mo…
Crusta Arcana
*200 copies limited edition* "Archimboldos have clawed their way out of the starcaves of their primordial past and into the tranquil light of a coral garden on their third full length album, Crusta Arcana, a gumbo stewpot of transcendent electronica suffused with tribal rhythms and liquid ambience. Across a stereo field smeared with tolling bells, post-industrial folk percussion, and tinkling keys, Archimboldos soundtrack a science fictional journey, not into the depths of space, but deep beneat…
