Psyché
Drop a needle on Psyché's debut double-sider and you'll see visions, or rather Mediterranean visions, be they of waves of heat shimmering above dunes of sand, or of women dancing around a bonfire on a rocky plain, or of bushy cliffs overlooking emerald-green and turquoise sea. The name Psyché is of course ancient Greek for 'soul' or 'mind', signifying the band's love of psychedelic funk, but also the wide range of Mediterranean influences – from Southern Europe to the Balkan Peninsula, and from …
Ta Yu Ta I
"I listened to the demo recordings for the “Ta Yu Ta I” CD. The track begins with the sound of a stone, and, for a moment I doubted my ears, thinking that it was the iwafue stone flute that I had lost overseas in 2005. The flute actually used on this recording was a replica on an ancient flute, one of three that have been handed down within my family. But until that moment when I heard the sound of it echoing inside my skull, I had completely forgotten about it. It was my living flesh that breat…

Tales from an Underground River
*270 copies limited edition* "Tales from an Underground River" is a record that has transformed many times before it was ready to be released in Fall 2022. Here is its diary. 2019 - Winter. Enrico Coniglio gave birth to it, musically speaking, in 2019 when he recorded two long and multi-layered sets of improvisation with piano, guitar and synths. This material was, as is true with any other OttS record, sent to Matteo Uggeri. He added and removed sounds, arranged tracks with a few beats and a wi…
The Soundtrack of Your Secrets
Born and grown over the past two years, built on Bellucci's piano and Uggeri's sounds and beats, "The Soundtrack of Your Secrets" is a work that penetrates inside the soul of anyone willing to let go. Unreservedly, without any limits. Until we are naked... looking inside ourselves. Deep inside.
"Ten lines to tell what goes on in here. Ten lines to find words for it all: for each of the panorama of shadows and color, for each of the thunderstorms of noise and sound and electric shocks, for this b…

Op.1984 (160C) Goodday, Mr Orwell, Green Ear Year
Previously unreleased Henning Christiansen work from 1984. A dedication to George Orwell.
Kaze ga Kanjō o Hakobu. Subete ga Kawarudarou
“Kaze ga kanjō o hakobu. Subete ga kawarudarou” is Tokyo-based musician Fuantei’s debut and first album for 901 Editions. The music describes ephemeral, everyday moments that evoke deep and suspended emotional states. A frivolous and trivial time fragment made memory, the embrace and realisation of change, the reverberating lights of a habitual sunset.
風が感情を運ぶ。すべてが変わるだろうKaze ga kanjō o hakobu. Subete ga kawarudarou.The wind carries emotions. Everything will change.

Orchestrated by A Hawk and A Hacksaw and released on their label."
Between Earth and Sky
A mystery begins. A journey. A vision emerges. Free, intuitive music, played spontaneously in the present moment, without any prior arrangements. I invited musicians, some of whom I’ve known and trusted for a long time, such as Fabrizio Ottaciucci, with whom I’ve enjoyed collaborating on and off since 1987. I met Fabio Mina in Bogliasco in 2007, and since then our paths have crossed more and more frequently. He has made a marvellous musical development. Then there’s Francesco, whom Fabio knew, a…
Rust Voor De Stilte
1996 release ** "Rust Voor de Stilte" means "Quiet before the silence" and is inspired by fading memories and unattainable desires. "Rust Voor de Stilte" is music from the soul that speaks to the heart. Bittersweet strains reminiscent of music box melodies combined with elegant rhythms are just some of the elements that set this work apart from other contemporary ambient releases. Emmanuel Tuts-Schiemsky’s cool mixture of beauty and melancholic grace is a journey through experimental sounds.."
Poem of the Atoms
“Not only are the galaxies spinning, but also the stars within the galaxies, and the Earth is spinning, and the Earth around the sun and the moon around the Earth. Pretty much the whole universe is spinning.”"This statement by the astrophysicist Noam Libeskind together with the aphorism, attributed to Heraclitus, "Panta Rei" (everything flows) and especially the Poem of the Atoms by the Sufi poet Rumi were the sources of inspiration for my new musical project. Jalal al-Din Rumi was also the foun…
Systeme
Finally the 5th album of the imaginary German quartet - as always via Denovali. Although the title "Systeme" suggests a perhaps rather distant-cool album, it is the most personal and concentrated soundtrack so far created by Thomas Bücker from Münster in his "E-Smog-Playground" studio. In 2008, the quartet still flirted with cyrillic-mysterious melancholy and red wine-swilling trakl melancholy. 15 years and four albums later, it seems almost cynical to simply continue at this point. Because: lat…
Morning Brings The Light
This album is about the micro world of a garden in a small coastal town. For two weeks either side of the 2021 summer solstice Kieran Mahon routinely made field recordings of his garden from pre-dawn until the first stirrings of people beginning their days. “After ending up with hours of recordings”, Kieran explains, “I then spent a long period listening and immersing myself in the environment - the ebb and flow, the subtle changes in atmosphere, the conversations between birds and insects, the …

Anemic Cinema
An "anemic cinema" might not make literal sense, but a renowned avant-garde film bears this title, by French-American artist Marcel Duchamp, focused on images of rotating swirls and discs. Junya Tokuda's latest project takes its name from the film, and its highlight track, "Parallax View" stands out on Anemic Cinema. It's an auditory depiction of a parallax—the perception of an object's position changing depending on where it's viewed from. The continuous thumps create the perception of "Paralla…

Etudes From a Starship
Voin Oruwu is a project driven by Ukrainian artist Dmitriy Avksentiev. Etudes From a Starship is his second album and has been inspired by astral themes. The album invites the listener to join a fantasy universe created by the simple power of music. This music is clearly ambient - and cinematic - but also dark and mysterious. The tracks are diversified and sometimes feature surprising passages such as Decay Instability for its furious bass line sequence and Acid Clavi 2110, which sounds as being…
Magina
“Miki Yui (Tokyo, 1971) is an artist, composer and performer who has been living in Germany for some years, mainly in Dusseldorf, where she studied at the prestigious Kunstakademie, and in Cologne, where she first seriously started working with sounds (small sounds, as she calls them). Lastly, she has accentuated the more visual aspects of her research, which by now is characterized by the use of diverse – yet complementary – “media” such as sound itself, drawing, the written word, silence... Yu…
