‘Déplier la cervelle secrète’: 12 pieces created from recordings of sequences, (almost) all from the same analogue synthesiser.  Material from a single source put to the test of composition, in  what could be described as a power struggle: faced with the  fragmented inertia of the sound material, searching for resources,  relationships and combinations. In this compact and eruptive material, the pulsating sound patterns reveal new intentions. The result is this album, born of electroacoustic ‘so…

"The Dreamcast tracks were composed and recorded in a week, while learning to use a K.-O.2 sampler, which was later discredited. They somehow replay the state of virtual projection that a console or idea-image of a game console intensifies over time, only to be forgotten when other means begin to channel these projections. It's a capture of a fairly basic kind of consumerist regression, let's say. But it's also a way of reconnecting with the characteristics of image rendering, body forms and env…

*200 copies limited edition*  Stärker, the France / Canada based duo of Frederic Arbour and Martin Dumais returns with "Spectral", their most fully realized work to date. Known for shaping a world of pulsating analog frequencies, brooding atmospherics and industrial tinged techno, the duo expands their sonic reach with a record that moves with sharpened precision, wider depth and a more deliberate sense of immersion. Described as crafting fierce, dense, widely reverberating techno, Stärker estab…

*300 copies limited edition* Beyond Sensory Experience announce "In This Our Life", a new album that extends and deepens the austere, melancholic sound they have refined since their formation in 2001. The duo continue to balance sparse, cinematic atmospheres with richly layered textures and haunting melodic motifs. "In This Our Life" follows a sequence of records that critics have described as immersive, melancholic and beautifully unsettling, works which place the duo among the most discreetly …

*2025 stock* Utah Kawasaki's 36th solo album following his previous "Songs I Played 2" released in 2013. “Based on a web page that analyzes the non-disclosed NRPN (MIDI message indigenous to a device) specifications of the Alesis Micron digital synthesizer, I implemented a program that changes its configurable parameter value little by little (like floating in a space that has [Number of Parameters] units of dimensions). I ran that program and let it go on, and recorded two sessions each for an …

The Austrasian Goat started as a black metal outfit that was meant to be anti-nationalist (and of course anti fascist) but that proved ultimately too taxing a fight to have within the genre’s flawed genetics… but The Austrasian Goat never died and comes back as beautiful and bold as ever, its fur now bruised but gilded. The Austrasian Goat is Julien Louvet, who has expertly mastered most of our latest releases, channeling his music from Metz, capital of Austrasia.

*300 copies limited edition* Although La Porta Ermetica has not yet released many albums, the roster is far from unknown. Featuring the talents of Adriano Vincenti and founding members of the legendary group Ain Soph, this Italian super group means business. "Horti Lamiani" is a show of strength and a real piece of ear candy for those waiting to hear new ritual frequencies. The sounds themselves are a testimony to the long-running experience of those involved. Tasty throbs and basses are mixed w…

*100 copies limited edition* El-Hadra is more than ambient music - it’s a sonic ritual that leaves a permanent mark on the soul. This album has transformed the way many perceive sound, becoming a personal landmark for countless listeners. Originally recorded in the late 1980s, it fuses elements of Sufi trance with hypnotic tabla rhythms, meditative zither, and deep ambient drone to form a truly transcendent experience. Listening to El-Hadra is like entering a space beyond time - a journey one ca…

Fantasma was conceived by Mount Fog for the sound installation CHIARA • dispositivo di ascolto a distanza, a site-specific art project curated by Standards, held in September 2021 around the ancient Chiaravalle Abbey in Milan. The idea behind the intervention was to use the iconic lantern tower of the abbey as a “listening device”, through a specially developed sound diffusion system. As an environmental work, the installation could be freely experienced in the surroundings of the monastery, fad…

*100 copies limited edition* This album came together across different moments and shifting moods, moving in opposite directions and never fully settling much like the sudden, restless bursts of a bora wind. Each track belongs to a different time and a different inner weather, carrying its own distance and temperature. Within these shifting winds were the quiet weights of regret, the faint traces of shame, and the strange urge to believe without question in certain things, even when nothing felt…

*100 copies limited edition* After Kites, Sister, and Mask, House of Strength marked the fourth collaboration between choreographer/dancer Roshanak Morrowatian and composer Rutger Zuydervelt. The performance — and, by extension, the music — has a strong ritualistic quality and can be seen as an inclusive celebration of both spiritual and physical strength. Drawing inspiration from traditional Iranian percussion as well as contemporary club music, the score bridges old and new worlds, shifting be…

*150 copies limited edition* Like all concerts by Conrad Schnitzler, this one is unpredictable and always captivatingly beautiful. A masterfully crafted mix of four solo works, all located in close proximity to the RR album itself. There are few such works in the entire discography, and most of them are included in our top 100.

*150 copies limited edition* 'Memory' is a saturated, multifaceted poem, a work of sound art set against a backdrop of shimmering cosmic space. It is a sonic excursion into memory, reflecting both the light and the darkness of our consciousness. Moving forward and transcending many boundaries, Conrad Schnitzler remains true to the mood established at the very beginning of this 60-minute cinematic work.

LP version. "Control was created during a phase of Schnitzler's work in which his friendship with Peter Baumann (formerly of Tangerine Dream) allowed him to try out and use new electronic sound generators and peripheral technologies. He never used these innovations merely for their own sake, but always put them at the service of his artistic flair for experimentation. His signature style is clearly recognizable on Control. The album seems to be a kind of compilation of different musical approach…

One of the most striking and enigmatic works to appear on Discreet Music in recent years. There is a long tradition of artists who have tried to set scripture to music and failed magnificently - the failure itself becoming the subject, the wound becoming the work. Carrie DeCunzo Mirande's debut album belongs to this lineage. In the twenty-four days before Christmas 2024, she read the twenty-four chapters of the Book of Luke and attempted to respond in sound. Two piano pieces emerged - one inspir…

Spider Taylor crawls over to Dark Entries with Surge Studio Music, an album of archival gay pornographic soundtracks. James Allan Taylor was born into a working-class family in Los Angeles in 1951. Nicknamed “Spider” by his father due to his frantic energy, Taylor was a natural-born guitarist, gifted with perfect pitch and a voracious musical appetite. Throughout the 70s, he expanded his musical repertoire, playing in bands ranging from country to post-punk, like his outfit Red Wedding, while al…

*300 copies limited edition* 'In a fugue state’ finds pedal-steel guitar maestro Joe Harvey-Whyte collaborating with tape loop sound scientist Paul Cousins on a warped ambient excursion into the subconscious. Originally written and recorded in one night, the eight tracks of hypnotic electro-acoustic music explore the concept of memory and time. The duo study how we remember and misremember things; forming an imperfect reorganisation of time, events and emotional states. This album exists at a cr…

*2025 stock. 190 copies limited edition* Runes Order, the enigmatic force fusing industrial metal with ritualistic electronica, announces the release of their electrifying new album, RE:Murders. This masterpiece plunges listeners into a sonic abyss where ancient runes collide with modern malice. RE:Murders reimagines murder as metaphor – not gore, but the ritualistic slaying of the old self. From the pulsating opener "Rune of Reckoning" to the climactic closer "Echoes of the Erased," the album w…

*2025 stock. 60 copies limited edition* After a split cassette in 1997, «Bees» is in fact the first collaboration ever between the two historical Italian experimenters Deison and Devis G.

*200 copies limited edition* Paperbark is the ambient project of Jon Mulville, who has been shaping rhythmic and textural soundscapes since 2016. His music is rooted in memory, as a way to process emotional fragments.

"Light Behind Me" marks his first CD release and only his second appearance o…

*2025 repress* 2014's »Sea Island« was recorded over two years. While many of these compositions were performed live extensively prior to recording, others were constructed in the studio and are being heard for the first time here. Musically, the album represents a range of compositional approaches. Murky, densely textured depths of sound are explored with subtle pulses and pings woven within, contrasted with composed or improvised moments of acoustic instrumentation making a move into the foreg…

*2025 stock. 190 copies limited edition* Soundtrack to the theatrical performance Malagrazia by Phoebe Zeitgeist, directed by Giuseppe Isgrò with dramaturgy by Michelangelo Zeno. Stefano De Ponti crafted what reviewers called a "devastating and unsettling" sound architecture using cello, synthesizers, guitar, organ, electronics, springs and field recordings. The play explores two brothers confined in a post-apocalyptic space - part bunker, part island - where they reinvent their unknown family h…

*2025 stock. 190 copies limited edition* In 1988 Christa Päffgen, better known as Nico, one of the most influential and charismatic female figures in all contemporary popular music, died.

**Edition of 200** Electronic composer Marco Papiro confirms his eccentric and multifaceted personality. The sound articulation of his analog synthesizers flows into in an artificial hyperrealism of great thematic and expressive variation. The tracks unfold between ascending cosmic moments, more ecstatic meditative tones, symphonic planetary floods, exotic Afrodelic and psycho-Andean drifts. Papiro synthesises and converts echoes of acoustic wind instruments (oboe, recorders, bamboo flute), whil…

*300 copies limited edition* Yamila presents her second album on Umor Rex, Noor. Following Visions, Yamila returns with a work that merges nature-experience listening with expansive musicality. Noor was born from her time in an ecologist community, where she sought refuge in stillness, learned from animals, and tried to forget the human. In this communion with nature, she discovered a new compositional approach: reducing acoustic noise to allow unheard voices to emerge, transforming music into a…

*93 copies limited edition* Giancarlo Drago's The Tapes project unearths Nastri Dimenticati ("Forgotten Tapes"), a collection that bridges the project's original 1982-1992 incarnation with its 2016 revival. These rediscovered recordings showcase the raw experimentalism that defined Drago's teenage years, when toy instruments and primitive recording techniques created accidental masterpieces. The cassette format returns these sounds to their original medium, emphasizing the materiality of magneti…

*2025 stock. 190 copies limited edition* "Voices" is a project born as a live performance for solo voice and loop station. The study of tribal rituals of some primitive cultures has been the main source of inspiration for my work. As various anthropological texts affirm, shamanic rituals are not based solely on music produced by rhythmic instruments (rattles, tambourines and other percussions). It is often the shaman's sing that induces trance. He uses his own voice, producing guttural, hissing,…

*2025 stock. 190 copies limited edition* Daniele Ciullini turns domestic space into toxic environment with Poisoning At Home, where household sounds become vectors of contamination. The album transforms the familiar into the threatening, revealing the poison already present in daily life through manipulated recordings of everyday objects and spaces. Each track identifies another source of domestic toxicity - from electromagnetic radiation to chemical off-gassing, from information overload to soc…

*2025 stock. 200 copies limited edition* Massimo Mascheroni's ODRZ project reaches a numerical milestone with ODRZ80, though whether the title references age, BPM, or esoteric significance remains characteristically ambiguous. What's clear is that this release represents a mature statement from one of Italy's most consistent experimental voices, building on decades of exploration in industrial and electronic territories. The album showcases Mascheroni's evolved approach to sound design, where ha…

*2025 stock. 300 copies limited edition* Daniele Ciullini dissects contemporary society's plastic facades with Cosmetics For Mannequins, eight tracks of manipulated field recordings, toy instruments, and automatic voices that expose the mechanization of human interaction. Recorded at home in 2020 and reworked in 2023, the album reads like a dystopian manual for modern existence. Titles like "Work Addicted (No Personal Life)" and "Mass Loneliness" reveal Ciullini's sardonic perspective on digital…

*2025 stock. 300 copies limited edition* "While I breathe" - the Latin title encapsulates Tam Quam Tabula Rasa's existential approach to sound creation in this eleven-track journey through sonic isolation tanks.
