Embracing imperfection as a creative force,…
And the Sun
As humankind strives to create artificial intelligence what will faith, love, or morality look like to a nascent consciousness? Will it be capable of understanding its creators who often hold logic and superstition within themselves? In return how will humans comprehend its hallucinations? And the Sun, a ball of hot plasma oblivious to our existence continually burns hydrogen until it runs out and swallows its three closest neighbours. Fresh from his music (as featured on these records) being pi…
Cobra
"On a remote gravel-covered spit of land on the east coast lie the abandoned buildings of a government facility for weapons testing and experiments with radar. In the mid 1960s this site witnessed the construction of an over-the-horizon radar, a technological marvel bouncing signals off the ionosphere, built to covertly monitor the activities of other nations. The reflectivity of the ionosphere is a function of frequency, time of day, time of year and of the solar cycle. In essence, a sympathy f…

Siona
2006 release ** Limited to 150 handnumbered copies.

This is a collaboration between Flutwacht and Vincenzo Bossi, two projects from Germany, and Siona is already their eighth release. Siona was "performed and recorded live without audience", which suggests a number of options, of which a live, one-take performance is probably the most likely. This C…

Lagarriga from Barcelona, Spain after his beautiful 3“CD „Now there’s a weird taste in my mouth“.

Pink
2015 release ** "Maria da Rocha's name may not be familiar to jazz and improvised music lovers in Portugal, because this Lisbon-based violinist and violist has worked primarily in the Berlin and Stockholm circuits, and much of her dedication has gone to interpreting the great composers of contemporary, classical, and baroque music. In her own projects, however, she embraces the processes and aesthetics of improvisation, and it was in this context that we heard her at Creative Fest late last year…
Whitby
David Boulter, best known as a long-time member of Tindersticks, returns to Clay Pipe Music with Whitby - an evocative mini album inspired by the stark beauty and unsettling calm of England’s North Yorkshire coast.

"I’m constantly inspired by my surroundings, or memories of them," he says. "Sat on an almost de…

Njurra Wänja
"The process of making music together in Hand to Earth is unlike any other we have experienced. It is not free improvisation but it is not composed either. It is somewhere in between, and it feels like ‘weaving.’ Through Hand to Earth, we weave the threads of our different histories, different lives, and different perspectives together, and become family. Daniel weaves the ‘Manikay’ (public songs) in his first language, Wagiläk - into the syntax of our shared practices. He talks about the ‘rak…
Moonbuilding Summer 2025 (How Did We Get Here?) (Magazine + CD)
Good lord, Moonbuilding Issue 6 has taken its sweet time. But don’t look at us, this handsome A5 zine has a mind of its own. Magic like this is out of our hands. Or as ABC’s ‘Poison Arrow’ put it, “she comes when she comes”. But it’s here. Finally. And anyway, in the grand scheme it’s best not to ask how it’s happened, but how quickly you can get your hands on a copy.
So what have we got? Well, taking pole position on the cover of the Summer 2025 issue is the utterly unique Loula Yorke. In our b…
