The punishment of the tribe by its elders'
Pisaro's fascinating composition created with guitar, bass, percussion, radio, electronics, and field recordings, using long gaps of silence resolved through a dynamic set of rich audio sections."The most convincing way to avoid reality is to lose yourself in the prickle of the field recording, as if it were bubble wrap. Here, technology chafes against a world of waves, pulses, and impacts, leaving to the ear and the imagination the task of estimating reality from scratch (at 12:35, a storm defi…
Ricefall
Gravity Wave, a new CD label, curated by composer Michael Pisaro, designed by Yuko Zama. Icefall (2), a 72-minute piece for 64 separate tracks of rice falling on objects. This recording is the second part of a trilogy of the first disc length works by Stuart and Pisaro (an unrhymed chord is the first part, and A wave and waves is the third). The dynamic range of the recording is extremely wide. In the second of the four sections, there is a storm of falling rice that is certainly the loudest mus…

Animistic (for Donatella)
Animistic [for Donatella], CD album in DVD case with 7 full colour photo cards. This CD contains two pieces, 'Animistic (for Donatella)' concentrating on mixing location recordings with 'played' objects to obtain a complex soundscape in three parts that is inspired by the idea of an animist understanding of nature.

Experimente
Dive back into the primal heart of Krautrock with Amon Düül's "Experimente", a stunning collection of rare and obscure live material excavated from the same incendiary late '60s sessions that birthed their legendary debut Psychedelic Underground. This previously unreleased treasure captures the band's unbridled spontaneity, delivering a sonic assault that's as hypnotic as it is feral.
Amon Düül's jam sessions on Experimente are pure, unfiltered ritual – predominantly instrumental eruptions domin…
Kite
*200 copies limited edition* Mysterious lycanthrope and sound-explorer from Gothenburg, Sweden and surrounding forests - behind the name Ratvader is the composer Oscar Sidoff Rydelius. Discreet Music crossed paths with Oscar for the first time during 2025, a chance meeting that resulted in the enchanting 14-track album Kite now released on Gustaf Dickssons in-house imprint Frihetens Förlag. Evocative and strangely moving soundtrack-style compositions that at times feels like the medieval bastard…
N.Y.C.
One of the most distinctive and influential instrumental ensembles of the 1980s, Steps Ahead injected urgently needed vitality into a stagnating fusion landscape with their own brand of intelligent, living jazz. With N.Y.C., their debut for Intuition, the group returned in an electrifying new incarnation and with a dynamically reimagined sound.
Co-founder Mike Mainieri assembled a constellation of seasoned virtuosos for this session: drummer Steve Smith (known for his work with Journey and his o…

Bang, saxophonists Bilal Abdur Rahman and Henry Warner, bassist William Parker, and percussionists Rashid Bakr and Khuwana John Fuller played incendiary free jazz more clearly indebted to the New York avant-garde of the precedin…
Kozmické Louky
On Kozmické louky, Magdaléna Manderlová turns a Silesian floodplain into both subject and collaborator, braiding on‑site field recordings with electroacoustic composition and invited responses to chart a living, climate‑shaken wetland as it listens back.
Drawings, Collages, Paintings (Book, Softcover)
Drawings, Collages, Paintings reveals Adam Bohman as a visual artist every bit as singular as his music, collecting five decades of creatures, cowboys, food‑packet detritus and biro‑scrawled ephemera into a thick, disarming portrait of an English visionary working at the kitchen‑table edge of art history.
Composer, alone
Composer, alone by Jürg Frey (performed by Reinier van Houdt) is a luminous retrospective stretching across three discs and 35 years. Twelve solo piano pieces—fragile yet substantial—trace Frey's evolution, distilling time and silence into crystalline musical objects. Van Houdt’s touch brings warmth and clarity, illuminating the invisible architecture within Frey’s sensitive landscapes.
Les Stances À Sophie
On May 28, 1969, four American musicians — reed/wind players Roscoe Mitchell and Joseph Jarman, bassist Malachi Favors, and (accompanied by his wife, singer Fontella Bass) trumpeter Lester Bowie — boarded the ocean liner S.S. United States, bound for Le Havre, France. After landing five days later, they moved on to Paris, where they got to work. On August 22, 1970, in the waning days of their stay overseas, the group, with Bass on vocals, would record their second release for EMI’s Pathé Marconi…
Lustres
Our approach to making records has always involved an exchange of individually created sounds, which are joined together through live improvisation, studio recording, and the use of diagrammatic visual scores. Over the last several years, we have been interested in expanding very small fragments of these discreet pieces of audio into long-form compositions. This process has resulted in a new approach to how we build tracks from the ground up. In this particular workflow, one of us is largely resp…
Vita Nova
On the top of the list of Kraut uderground artifacts, a definite oddity plenty of abstract execution of psychedelic soundscapes, dark Classical textures and Jazz/Fusion, as cohesion is completely absent, however there is a certain charm coming out of this. There are more in the vein of Egg and Amos Key, creating atmospheric soundscapes complemented with powerful jams, featuring organ and clavinet in evidence and swirling around jazzy workouts, light improvisations and mellow Kraut Rock experimen…
Désinances
Désinances is a collection of pieces taken from two contrasting recording sessions. The first was intended as a set of raw materials made specifically for a collaborative project with Franck Vigroux, and provided the impetus for the making of this album, with the second following on shortly afterwards. Both occasions yielded different musical results, yet possess a similar intention - owing something to the liminality of crepuscular daylight and the nighttime darkness during which they were both…
