Fioritures
*35 copies limited edition* On Fioritures, Lamasz offers his debut for Le Mont Analogue, transforming fragments of classical music into a quietly immersive work. Rooted in material drawn from thrifted cassettes, the six pieces unfold through looping motifs that drift and dissolve, gently enriched with drones, field recordings, and tape textures. The result is a cohesive, meditative reverie, where each moment slowly erodes into a suspended, near-weightless state.

The Organ is the Worlds Greatest Syntesizer
**Limited edition of 222 copies, black vinyl two color screenprinted cover** At eight o'clock on a March morning in 2024, as Amsterdam awakened around it, Charlemagne Palestine took his place at the console of the Vater-Müller organ in the Oude Kerk—the city's oldest building, a Gothic monument dating to 1306—and opened a portal. What emerged over the following forty-plus minutes, now captured on this limited edition LP, stands as one of the most concentrated distillations of Palestine's six-dec…

Taking Place
Asked to create a solo album, Adia started looking for a creative way to re-invent her solo saxophone music. Her new improvisations are inventive pieces which take advantage of the full range of her instrument and different playing techniques, but also the sounds of her surroundings in the unusual locations where she recorded – the echo of a silo, the clucking of a chicken coop, or passing cars. These sounds inspired the music, creating a dialogue with the environment.
Lines in the Sky

Phren
On Phren, Marta Salogni and Stefano Pilia build a shared electro‑acoustic architecture where guitar, tape machines and field recordings circulate like memory in motion. Signals move through modular processes, echoes and Revox loops until origin and reflection blur, turning six slow‑unfolding pieces into a living study of sound, time and feeling.
Dinosaurs With Horns
Rick Potts and Joseph Hammer met at a Halloween party in 1982. At the time, Joseph was making tape loops and recording with Points of Friction, while Rick already had many years of freakdom service under his belt with the LAFMS. They began collaborating on new recordings, with Joseph providing loops and Rick playing an Optigan borrowed from Joseph. The Optigan, made by a toy manufacturer for home use, is a primitive 1970s sampler that plays prerecorded discs ranging from exotica, pipe organ and …

SIC
On SIC, Nurse With Wound and Aranos construct a cold, roaring ambient symphony from metallic percussion, numbing drones and disembodied voices. Long unavailable on vinyl, this edition restores a quietly menacing work where sound sculpture and slow-moving ritual converge, suspended between dread, dream and industrial weather.
From the Ruins of the Literal: Critical Organology, Timbre, and the Poetics of Affect (Book)
Sarah Davachi's first book, From the Ruins of the Literal: Critical Organology, Timbre, and the Poetics of Affect, published by her own Late Music imprint. The title is borrowed from Paul Ricoeur, whose account of metaphor locates meaning at the point where literal sense gives way. Davachi turns that idea on the study of instruments and timbre, disciplines she sees as long governed by empirical, neuro-cognitive and modernist assumptions. Her objection is not that measurement is wrong but that it…
