A unique collaboration, Just a Little Piece of Me / Dream Journal (for Udo) unites Swiss analog explorer Papiro and legendary psych innovator Sonic Boom for a mesmerizing 7" of dreamy textures and experimental pop.
Sergio Zevallos, a Peruvian artist based in Berlin, has been active since the 1980s, when he was a member of the Chaclacayo Group, one of the most radical artist collectives in Peru, dedicated to performance art. Since then, Zevallos has been interested in composing his own soundtracks, writing scores with invented notation, working with recitation of texts and recordings of people talking, elements that he later used as raw material for his compositions.
Zevallos' work has been developed in a m…
* First ever reissue * Bassist, composer, arranger, and film scorer Jorge López Ruiz was the living embodiment of Argentine jazz history. This recording, which was done in 1967 with a big band led by López Ruiz, represents a monumental work in Argentine jazz. The work is a concept album that takes a critical stance on the chaotic political situation and the military regime in Argentina at the time. It was banned upon release and directly led to constraints being placed on López Ruiz’s subsequent…
The year is 1971 and Mort Garson - already prolific in the emerging world of Moog synthesis through his zodiac series and the gentler Mother Earth's Plantasia - decides to peer into darker territories. Under the singular moniker Lucifer, he releases Black Mass, an album that remains his most unsettling and focused work.
This is occult electronics before the term had any real meaning. Ten pieces exploring supernatural phenomena through purely synthetic means - the Moog interpreting exorcism, witc…
In support of their forthcoming Bob Moog documentary Electronic Voyager, Waveshaper Media have produced a compilation LP of Moog recordings from the 1960s.

* 2020 Stock * Bob Rutman's life could be compared to the life of Odysseus, although we're not here to write his biography. Putojefe is happy to present his phenomenal Noise In The Library, recorded with the U.S. Steel Cello Ensemble, an all-steel string quartet established by himself in Boston in 1976.
The Ensemble consists of one Steel Cello and three Bow Chimes, played by Rutman and a rotating cast of guest musicians: in this instance, Daniel Orlansky –one of Rutman’s closest collaborators an…
In modern experimental music, and especially among a number of musician-composers emerging in America during the Sixties, a fixation on process and awareness became a structural hallmark, exploring the gradual change of sonic materials, built environments, and the human body. Though much maligned as a term by its practitioners, figures like Steve Reich, La Monte Young, Philip Glass, and Terry Riley were among these 'minimal' composers; askew of them were electroacoustic explorers like Alvin Luci…
With the composition series Intermorphologies, I explore multi-dimensional sound mutations and musical causalities generated electronically in realtime.
Everything you hear – every aspect that constitutes each sound, how those sounds resonate both individually and in combination, how they react and change with each other, how they are rhythmically / temporally organized, and how these sounds move through acoustic space – have been subjected to gradual change operations. All sounds synthesize the…
* Edition of 300 * Come When The Raven Calls is the second album by Suzanne Langille and Neel Murgai after more than two decades performing together. Langille fuses the rawness of American spiritual blues with Murgai’s trance-like percussion and multi-note vocal overtones. The duo are unmatched in their timeless approach to song, a structure they summon from a tinder of melody or thundering charge of the Persian daf. A lyricist as well as vocalist, Langille is devoted to the spoken word. She pul…
Mort Garson's road to the sublimity of Plantasia meant a decades-long journey through an underworld of sophisticated, international, string-laced arrangements - over a thousand writing, conducting, and arranging credits - to arrive at this set of queasy-listening revelations. A Canadian-born composer, arranger, songwriter, and pioneer of electronic music who worked until his death in 2008, Garson's knack was to exist in both worlds: super-commercial and way out. Via his wizardry, the synthesizer…
Six years before the release of his landmark Mother Earth's Plantasia, composer and arranger Mort Garson met experimental film director Skip Sherwood, who was interested in an electronic score for his new movie, Didn't You Hear? While not much is known now about the exact nature of their collaboration, we have Garson's magnificent score as a record of those heady, early days after his life-changing discovery of the Moog synthesizer. This stands as one of the first-ever all-electronic movie score…
A sequel to the cult 1975 Australian space rock album Monster Planet. In 2013 The Roundtable curated a dedicated program redocumenting the music of Australia’s legendary space rock band Cybotron. A new generation of electronic music enthusiasts and krautrock fans alike had been introduced or had perhaps been reconnected to the unlikely yet incredible sounds of Australia’s unique brand of ‘kosmische musik’. This archival series included Steve Maxwell Von Braund’s groundbreaking solo album Monster…
The Sea Is Rough is only a single (released as a 12’’ EP, played in 45 rpm) that features 2 pieces, recorded by the Russian power-pree jazz outfit Brom (Бром) with Japanese legendary trumpeter Toshinori Kondo, known for his collaborations with innovative improvisers around the globe like Peter Brötzmann, Han Bennink, Henry Kaiser, Bill Laswell and Paal Nilssen-Love. This promising meeting of Brom and Kondo was recorded at Orange Studio, Moscow in March 2019. The first version of the title-piece…

The name Karbé Dinel may not be immediately familiar to even dedicated followers of experimental music, but this mysterious artist delivers a contribution to the MMXX series that stands proudly alongside the more celebrated names in the roster. Indeed, part of the pleasure of a curated series like this lies in the discoveries, the artists whose work might otherwise have escaped attention but who reveal themselves, given the platform, as fully formed creative voices with something essential to of…
Tip! **Edition of 50** At the end of 2019 Jarra already surprised us with his IsoMonads tape, but now he ventures even deeper into the void with For A Moment Nothing Happens. One moment you can only perceive small and cautious footsteps moving through an inaccessible, icy universe, while the next an infernal cosmic mechanism switches into overdrive. Indeed, for a single moment nothing seems to happen, but then Jarra pulls out all the stops. Subtly and patiently he immerses his listener in a delu…
Farfalla Records allows you to discover again the music of Roger Webb (aka Paul Dupont) with this album that could have been the perfect soundtrack for a crime film of the 1970s, alternating powerful tracks with jazz-funk rhythms and melodic tracks with light/romantic themes. Tapestry was recorded for the London based recording company Chappell Recorded Music and released in 1977 exclusively for professional use.
**232 copies** John Truscinski has made a solo recording called ‘Bridle Path’, and it’s document of a journey, a singular meditation, a universal landscape soundtrack. Reflections and refractions of sound swim around in their own subtlety. A conversation gets out of its own way, using an unknown language of letting go. A focused void. Drone slabs and microtones bend and waver, slipping beneath the surface of sound. Using a a mini brute and Korg synthesizer, John carved out time to occasionally s…
**250 copies** The sound of the violin is a product of tension and release; the hair of the bow pulls back the violin’s string over and over again and, when the tension gets too great, it releases. The resulting vibration disturbs the air around it which travels in waves, exciting our ear drums and becoming sound. This confrontation of energy with air—the alternation of potential and kinetic energy—occurs over and over again in microcosm: catching, holding, tensing, and releasing. As listeners, …
