Art Programming
We are excited to continue our work with Art P / Art Programming by finally offering the first full-length work from this Bremen-based electronic group.

Paranormal Awakening
*200 copies limited edition* Ukrainian sound artist Tungu, a.k.a. Sergiy Senchuk, has long been operating in this domain and has a huge array of collaborations and solo work behind him, besides a background starting over two decades ago in metal and hardcore music.

Paranormal Awakening catches him collaborating with equally prolifi…

E.A.T.
Echo Libero is presenting a remastered version of the self-titled debut album by E.A.T., which was originally released in 1998.

E.A.T. consists of members of the band Dunkelziffer, including the high-profile keyboardist Helmut Zerlett and progressive drummer Reiner Linke. The group also features Boris Polons…

Mighty Truth
Old friends Julian Bates and Alex Gray -- working together as Mighty Truth for the first time since 1995's From The City To The Sea -- filled a car with old analogue synths, kids' noise toys, and collected field recordings, took a road trip down to hole up in an old water mill in southwest England's bird-twittery, bee-loud Quantock hills. Things got cinematic: unequal measures of early Weather Report, Wim Wenders, and Serge Gainsbourg kept them wonderfully lost in their imagined world. Back in L…
Counting To Ten Then Back Again
"I remember when at school on the last day of term, all the class would bring games in to play, but it always seemed that no one really knew the rules or could fathom out how to play some of them. However, a lot of the games had interesting artwork and fantastic layouts with all sorts of cards and paraphernalia, which I really enjoyed. Around the same time I received a magic set for Christmas. The packaging, images, type, colours on the box and instructions were wonderful. I would entertain memb…
A Small Life and Unnoticed Movements
"A Small Life and Unnoticed Movements" was born from a live performance at Germi in Milan, later transformed in the studio through Fender Rhodes and subtle ambient processing. The six pieces are sonic micro-landscapes built around minimal gestures — a leaf’s trace, a small current, a dim light, an almost invisible presence. The music doesn’t describe nature; it follows its processes. It changes slowly, transforms without noise, and remains in a state of attentive listening.
The project is accomp…
Flowers
'Flowers', the new EP from Elizabeth Davis, finds itself at the cross-section of many factors. In part, it’s the result of Davis’ obsession with a seminal folk song. But it also coincides with her rediscovery of the voice and language as an instrument. It was recorded during an autumn residency at Sternhagen Gut, the cultural refuge run by Gudrun Gut and Thomas Fehlmann, located deep in the Uckermark countryside halfway between Berlin and the Baltic coast. The six tracks on 'Flowers' all take Pe…
Putimt Ku Tuskaas
The album explores the historical and practical union of experimental in-situ field recordings and industrial drone work in its rudimentary form, while also constructing a narrative of live, on-site cymbal play in the style of Eddie Prevost and David Jackman. Putimt ku tuskaas draws a narrative of minimally intricate experimental field recordings and industrial drones while at the same time channeling a line of influence from the early 80’s French & Italian industrial movements and would not be…

In line…
Xerrox
Xerrox Vol. 1 is the third studio album by German electronic artist Alva Noto. It was released in 2007 as part of the ongoing Xerrox pentalogy, based on the concept of digital replication of source material.
Using the process of copying as a basis, the Xerrox series deals with the manipulation of data through endless reproduction. Due to the inherent fallacy of making copies from other copies, everyday sounds become so altered that they are hardly associated with their source material. As a resu…
