A Single Point of Light
**Limited Edition of 150 copies on black vinyl** "A Single Point of Light is Ben Shemie’s second solo LP and the follow up to A Skeleton, which was released with Hands in the Dark in early 2019. While the frontman of Canadian band Suuns gave us a cold, experimental sort of pop with his first album, centered around the idea of a genderless, raceless character, this record focuses on the perception of light, both figuratively and literally. The way it is created, moves and breaks apart, how we can…
Telematic Concert
"The Telematic Concert brought together American electronic music pioneer Pauline Oliveros with Argentinian experimental musician Alan Courtis of Reynols, improvising across continents for the Deep Listening Institute’s Dream Festival in October, 2009 — Oliveros in person in Kingston, NY, Courtis piped in digitally from Buenos Aires.The resulting exchange of Oliveros’ accordion drones and expanded instrument system with Courtis’ unstringed guitar feedback, objects, and processing sounds as fres…
Didactic Music
**300 copies** "Experimentation and Italian library music are the coordinates in which Didactic Music is written, the second work of the solo project Mouse and Sequencers by Nicola Giunta (The Lay Llamas), published by Backwards. The Sicilian multi-instrumentalist makes a 'catalog' of genres that range among a melancholic bucolic-folk, documentary field recordings, fleeting expeditions in Space and small experiments in 'Sala Macchine', to quote Amedeo Tommasi.From the sidereal ambient music of A…
Cautionary Tales
2025 stock ** Limited edition of 200 copies. "Simon Balestrazzi is one of the leading names in the European post-industrial scene. Starting from the unforgettable T.A.C. to the most recent projects, such as Dream Weapon Ritual and A Sphere Of Simple Green, he has built a personal and recognizable sound paradigm over time. In recent years he has also explored more purely electroacoustic dynamics, producing the excellent Redshift and the equally interesting Licheni, a collaboration shared with Nic…
Teredo Navalis
**in process of stocking** "This work represents a further step into my on-going research on the Venetian Lagoon. I was interested to keep an ecological perspective while focussing on a precise aesthetic. In fact, I considered field-recording practice as a tool for critically investigating the territory. The album is based on sounds recorded via electromagnetic sensors, binaural microphones, hydrophones, contact and condenser microphones. It combines compositions where the sound of water, in its…
Chimeratorium
**100 numbered copies in gatefold sleeve, to be released in June 2020** Chimeratorium is based on an audio dream that Deison had. He dreamt about making a new piece together with John Duncan: they were in a large room, in an old church, sculpting frequencies repeatedly for hours. Sounds and frequencies have been then recreated in the studio according to that particular event, becoming the long beautiful suites Theta Waves and Portal, the latter being a collaboration track by both artists.John Du…
Mechanical Fantasy Box
"Patrick Cowley (1950–82) was one of the most revolutionary and influential figures in electronic dance music. Born in Buffalo, Cowley moved to San Francisco in 1971 to study music at the City College of San Francisco. By the mid '70s, his synthesizer techniques landed him a job composing and producing songs for disco diva Sylvester, including hits such as "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)." Cowley created his own brand of peak-time party music known as Hi-NRG, dubbed "the San Francisco Sound." Hi…
Mega Wave Orchestra
**500 copies. Lovely crafted tip-on sleeve. Remastered from Master tapes** The music on this compilation was, for the most part, originally released privately in Geneva as a box set containing five LPs by The Mega Wave Orchestra and five prints by the artist Richard Reimann. The Mega Wave Orchestra, the brain-child of musician, mathematician and composer Christian Oestreicher, was conceived as an multi-media electronic music big-band. It was comprised of seven keyboard players Christine Schalle…
Gateway Summer Sound: Abstracted Animal and Other Sounds
**New vinyl reissue remastered from the original 1979 master tapes, packaged in classic Folkways-style tip-on jackets with liner notes.** Ann McMillan did not record prolifically, but she was at the vanguard of electronic composition in New York in the 1970s. A student of groundbreaking composer Edgard Varèse, McMillan’s primary medium was magnetic tape, which she manipulated to create surreal soundscapes. On Gateway Summer Sounds, her debut album released on Folkways in 1979 and recorded at the…
Tropical Syndroms
**100 copies** Tropical Syndroms is the second album by Thé Déluge, a.k.a. Vincent Caylet, also known as Cankun (Not Not Fun / Hands in the Dark). Like his debut album Forest Structures (Umor Rex, 2017), this new installment is an amalgam of sounds generated through multiple devices and analog synthesizers, loops and layers creating an incredible mix of textures, sounds that can almost be touched.In Caylet’s work, there is always a certain familiarity in the tones, there is an implicit nature pr…
The Beginning of Nothing
**100 copies** In just a few years and with a handful of releases, the Canadian producer better known as Yves Malone has earned himself a reputation. In The Beginning of Nothing he continues working with many layers of analog synths and a keen sense of drum machines to create atmospheres and textures extracted from late twentieth-century collective fears of a dystopian future. Created as a sort of score to an internal elegy, Yves Malone creates soundtracks of the daily fear, regret, and resignat…
The Eccentric Press
Two musique concrète symphonies of industrial sound, in which musical relationships emerge from sounds more often regarded as noise. All the sounds were recorded by Sounds of Changes, a pan-EU project capturing obsolete and endangered industrial and domestic sounds.

Freedom of Choice
Finally, after all that waiting, The Future arrived in 1980. Ohio art-rockers Devo had plainly prepared with their 1979 second LP Duty Now for the Future, and now it was go time. Propelled by the new decade's high-tech, free-market, pre-AIDS promise, 1980's Freedom of Choice would rocket what Devo co-founder Gerald Casale calls his "alternate universe, hermetically sealed, alien band" both into the arms of the Earthlings and back to their home planet in one scenic trip.Before an artistic and com…
Leila Nova
Ko Shin Moon's third LP puts the use of samples on a background layer and asserts his place as an instrumentalist. Leïla Nova presents itself as a nocturnal digression where analogical synthesizer, rhythm box, vocal tinkering, and colorful instrumentation are mixed together. Psychedelia, electronic variations, dance music, synth folk, and filmed approach, blend with traditional Greek, Afghan, Lebanese-Syrian, Turkish, and Indian revisited repertoires. The artwork is designed by Lebanese artist R…
Live At Kathy's B-Day
Numbered edition of 200.John Olson (Wolf Eyes, American Tapes, etc..) and Spencer Yeh (Burning Star Core) live.
Domestic Economy
The playful confidence that exudes Finlay Shakespeare's practice is flagrantly laid out on Domestic Economy, his extraordinary debut full-length. Domestic Economy displays two eventful sides evidencing the unique musical approach Shakespeare has developed in such a short period of time. Let's get some facts straight, Finlay is young. And talented. His programming skills belie his years and one can detect a sharp appreciation of historical electronic pop whilst simultaneously developing a canny u…
Agitations: Post-Electronic Sounds
Oscillatorial Binnage's "Agitations: Post-Electronic Sounds" is an 11-track album of post-digital, post-electronic music. The recordings are deeply acoustic - no electronic processing features anywhere. The sounds are produced by the experimental manipulation of repurposed recycled objects subjected to electromagnetic force fields. The 'infinite world of the real' offers up richly unpredictable effects, with fields of vibration producing psychoacoustic flourishes, along with spontaneous, arbitra…
Solemnities
Finlay Shakespeare is a freak. With this, his second album for Mego Editions, he confirms this. As a one man band it often strikes the listener as bewildering that he can do all this; the programming sits firmly in the realms of genius, the constant punch of melody upon melody leaves a pleasant sting of surprise and as a lyric writer there’s a part of his moniker that seems apt.
Polymeter
Chris Korda’s new album Polymeter is unique as entirely composed in complex polymeter sequences, a unique way to compose music with a new generation of algorithm, inside which Chris injects DNA of neo classical, ambient and jazz music. This refreshing album will please both those who are into complex musical composition, conceptual music and who are just seeking for a beautiful, emotional and accessible, unique, musical moment. This is a “In your hearts not the charts” album, as Irdial Discs onc…
