Baraka
** Special mirroring/olographic cover. Edition of 300 copies ** After his participation in a masterpiece such as Popol Vuh’s Hosianna Mantra, in the early 1980s Klaus Wiese produced a series of seminal works in the field of ambient-drone and healing music. The first of these, Baraka, was released on tape by Acquamarin in 1981, and already contained all the aspects of his future research into the mysticism of sound. Wiese shares the path with other German explorers such as Michael Peter Hamel, …
"Pop" Record / Evolving
"Pop Record/Evolving" is a unique 7-inch vinyl single by Roger Clark Miller, released on RRRecords in 1994. It transforms the pops, clicks, and surface noise from worn records into an evolving sound composition.
Originally conceived in 1985 as a one-of-a-kind acetate under Fun World Product 003, the RRRecords edition pressed 1,000 copies, now out of print (OOP). Inspired by John Cage and Marcel Duchamp, Miller isolates these "flaws" as source material, allowing the record to change with each pla…
Split
Andy Bolus (UK) is a special case of a multidisciplinary artist, the aural part of which presents an extensive discography and hundreds of live concerts under the Evil Moisture moniker. Superficialy, there is always this specific harsh essence that he creates either as Evil Moisture or Olympic Shit Man (along with Mark Durgan), but deeper inside "Abnormal loves in School Of Meat Cutting", a psychedelic concrete cave noise takes hold. An amazing atmosphere of sound in the vein of a small basement…
Cirque
Huge Tip! The Circus is a place of lights and colors, but also of shadows, even darkness. Admittedly, it delights children and makes adults laugh. But you only need one rainy autumn evening near a circus tent and the smell of fodder to think of the sadness of the clowns, the endless training of the animals and the freaks who are hidden in some caravan... cinema, the essence of the circus – movement, light, danger and burlesque – will have been admirably rendered in Notes on the circus by Jonas M…
A Thousand Leaves
A Thousand Leaves was Sonic Youth's 10th studio album and the group's first major effort to be recorded at their own Echo Canyon studio in NYC. Free from the constraints of paying for costly studio time, the band was able to work at their desired pace and experiment at will. The result was an album born out of improvisation, chiefly characterized by the guitar interplay between guitarists Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo. The album title was inspired by Walt Whitman as Moore explained, "The same w…
Patterns of Consciousness
2023 repress, edition of 500 copies, gatefold sleeve. Essential re-press of Caterina Barbieri's debut double LP. Patterns Of Consciousness is the powerful second full-length from analog synth composer Caterina Barbieri. Gorgeous high resolution analog textures and algorithmic melodies unfold under Barbieri's careful control, exploring the basic nature of sound and consciousness.

The Velvet Underground & Nico
*45th Anniversary Edition,180 Gram, Gatefold* Over Half a century later, this record still slays; if any album is deserving of the "classic" tag, it's The Velvet Underground & Nico. Lou Reed's affected vocals, Nico's female Lugosi-style recitations, John Cale's droning strings, Moe Tucker's minimal kit - this landmark work laid down paths that musicians today are still trying to follow. Just pick any track: "I'm Waiting For The Man," "Sunday Morning," "Venus In Furs," "All Tomorrow's Parties," "…
The Gowanus Recordings
*2025 stock* This eclectic group features the legendary multi instrumentalist Daniel Carter as well as the scientist/pianist Matthew Putman, drum wizard and 577 Records co-founder Federico Ughi, together with the brilliant up-and-coming member of the New York downtown scene, Texas-born clarinet player Patrick Holmes plus veteran bassist Hilliard Greene, a mainstay of the avant-garde for the last 20 years.
Unlockings
John Butcher is interested in particular people and their personalities. He prefers not to work in a generic situation, where there's an agreement in advance to play a certain kind of thing, and the music cannot swerve in a sudden fresh direction.
As he told me a few years back: "What got me so interested in the type of improvising I ended up really spending time on was, at least at a personal level, there was a feeling you could start from scratch. Now you might well be mistaken, and rediscover…
Lower Marsh
The record can be considered a sort of farewell note to one of London’s most crucial venues for improvised music and sound art after its unexpected closure in late 2023 due to gentrification. John Butcher had previously collaborated with these three musicians in different contexts, but Unlockings documents a first-of-its-kind quartet line-up.
"I wanted a new combination, but made of players I’d worked with over the years" says Butcher. "Choosing is probably 75 % about the player and 25 % about t…
Telepatia Liquida
2024 stock. This project is the exciting, unusual and at times unexpected result of five musicians from different backgrounds getting together and making music. This unlikely group that features a scientist on piano and an array of musicians from different places around the world is able to communicate on a level that is not only beyond planning and speech but also rational thought. The resulting music goes from moments that are exquisitely soft to deep juicy grooves. When studied attentively, i…
Dancing Across The Scalpel's Steel
Archival recording from James Light and Ronald Elster (AGONAL LUST and DH).
Produced in ronald elster’s living home under the duress and showings of ‘death file’, and ‘traces of death’.
Alternate soundtrack to catskills mountain men classics.
Mineral
The Red Trio: Rodrigo Pinheiro (piano), Hernani Faustino (bass) and Gabriel Ferrandini (percussion), plus two guests; Gerard Lebik (tenor saxophone), and Piotr b (trumpet). Sweeping from turbulent to intimate with with a fluid sort of dialogue that could only come from players well versed in the art of improvisation.
Some Other Place
*2025 stock* "“We are the place in which we dwell.” In a universe such as improvised music where, particularly in an ensemble, chance plays some kind of role, Agustí Fernández and Barry Guy did not by chance name this opus Some Other Place, paradoxical as it may seem at first sight. Much rather, it is a deliberate plight to give to this composition a title that brings up the notion of otherness, which is markedly present in both their careers. Many areas were scoured, at times under the command …
Four Spheres
On this maiden recording, Chicago-based bassist Jason Roebke leads a new quartet, featuring his original compositions and a stellar lineup. The music, which was brilliantly recorded at Steve Albini's legendary Electrical Audio and expertly mixed and mastered by Alex Inglizian at Experimental Sound Studio, is performed by veteran reed player Edward Wilkerson Jr., whose own bands Eight Bold Souls and Shadow Vignettes were among the great ensembles of eighties/nineties Chicago, extending the AACM t…
Autour du Lac d'Asselt
*300 copies limited edition* Timo Van Luijk with percussionist Kris Vanderstraeten, together for an enchanting exploration of liminal psychoacoustic space. "Playing with Kris always reminds me of doing expeditions in a lake. Some kind of under water sound fiction observing sonic creatures. This album is a live recording (28-01-2012, Kunstencentrum Belgie, Hasselt,Belgium) which to me always felt like one of the best concerts we did. As with our previous album Arrêt au Lac Chimère Vincent de Rogu…
Jetsun Mila
Beautiful extended ambient work from Eliane Radigue, a composer known for her work with magnetic tape and Arp Synthesizer, and who studied under Pierre Schaeefer and Pierre Henry in the late 50's. Her compositions are often drone-like, impeccably crafted electronic sounds which seem to move in a continual flow around the listener. She has created many meditative works since the late 1970s, mostly based on Tibetan Buddhist subject matter.Jetsun Mila is inspired by the life of Milarepa, a great yo…
Présence Humaine
On the occasion of famous French writer Michel Houellebecq's new album release, Tricatel reveals a special edition of his cult first album Présence Humaine, in a blue vinyl limited edition. The album has been arranged and produced by Bertrand Burgalat, who is also the music composer of the album.
Tacet
Last copies araound, long deleted..."One of the best-kept secrets in the very wonderful Futura Records catalogue of the late 60's/early 70's (remember Red Noise, Horde Catalytique Pour La Fin, Jacques Berrocal, Semool, Chêne Noir, Mahogany Brain and the others?), this album even missed attaining the cult obscurity status of some of those mentioned, remaining basically unheard because of the difficulty of even getting aware of its existence, not to mention the quasi-impossibility of tracing a cop…
Zürahümnah
For two decades, Bart De Paepe has navigated the psychedelic underground, creating a singular artistic path through labels like Astres d’Or, Ultra Eczema, and No Basement Is Deep Enough, and through collaborations with Sylvester Anfang’s funeral folks, Louise Landes Levi, Timo van Luijk, and Raymond Dijkstra. Zürahümnah distills his expansive vision into four immersive tracks that blur the line between light and darkness, time and reverie.
