Ostranenie
Ostranenie is a collection of digitally manipulated, impressionistic piano miniatures — each named after blockbuster films and TV series. Improvised late at night as a reaction against passive media consumption, these pieces function as both homage and critique, navigating the space between classical impressionism and contemporary digital manipulation. They don’t just deconstruct traditional piano expression; they interrogate the emotional stakes of sound in an era where immersion culture flatte…
Solaris. Music inspired by Andrei Tarkowsky's movie
*200 copies limited edition* Few films in the history of cinema have achieved the haunting, meditative power of Andrei Tarkovsky’s Solaris (1972). This masterpiece of science fiction transcends the genre’s typical preoccupation with technology and speculative futures, reaching instead into the depths of human consciousness, memory, and the aching poetry of the unknown. Adapted from Stanisław Lem’s novel of the same name (in turn, one of the greatest masterpieces of speculative science fiction na…

Even As We Speak: The Music of David Van Tieghem
The American percussionist, composer, and songwriter David Van Tieghem (b. 1955) is something like a musical equivalent to astronomy’s “hypothetical astronomical object”: while evidence of an irresistible gravitational pull can be felt in deep reaches of the cosmos, its source is enshrouded in darkness, revealing glimpses of celestial power to astute observers. For David Van Tieghem, these observers include a dizzyingly impressive cast of landmark musicians with whom he has composed and performe…

Forming Haze [Recordings 1985/86]
"The Crippled Flower was a post-punk band from Düsseldorf - and they arrived late. However, unlike many young, unsuspecting, hairsprayed hopefuls from that time, in 1985 they could sense that the end of their era was approaching. They knew too much to want to take the world by storm. They were four individualists searching their own way. Each of the band members only found their calling after the time that they had spent together – but that's exactly what makes The Crippled Flower still seem rea…
Star Rover
Visionary Walter Maioli and electronic innovator John Zandijik’s 1980s late-night sessions fuse ancient flutes and cutting-edge technology, creating a cosmic soundscape that bridges ethnomusicology, psychedelia, and electronic experimentation.
Troupe Asnimer & J.H. Burch
A trance-inducing journey into Morocco’s Ait Bouguemez valley: multi-instrumentalist J.H. Burch joins the all-female Troupe Asnimer to revive Amazigh oral traditions. Their hypnotic choral songs, enriched with global instrumentation, bridge ancestral ritual and contemporary sound.

Albus
EXTNDDNTWRK is the enduring solo project of Andrew Fearn, who is more commonly recognised as one half of Sleaford Mods. While akin to his role in his main group with respect to primarily working with electronic sounds, samples and rhythms, EXTNDDNTWRK is a far more mannered affair whose approach is concerned with atmospherics, occasional tempered beats perfect for a late night drive along a deserted motorway, near-ambient swerves into neo-minimalism, crisp melodies and big grooves swollen with t…
Winter/Music for Zeitgeist Fighters
*300 copies limited edition* In 2021 US label Helen Scarsdale Agency released Kleistwahr's 'Winter' album on vinyl in an edition of 300 now more or less sold out, while 'Music for Zeitgeist Fighters' preceded it by a few years on Egypt's Nashazphone imprint also as an LP limited to 300 and equally hard to find these days.
Both albums are brought together on this limited edition 2CD release and feature, between them, five bonus tracks not previously made available elsewhere. Anybody paying enough…

[Track:Array]
2003 release ** "Built around three previous Ware singles, the eleven tracks here stay uptempo. While not the first to explicitly craft a record around the concept of driving (or highways, or autobahns), Schmidt conjures up the sleek German design of today by hotwiring its primitive arcade heart and making a driving game out of it. "Quest for Tires" starts off like the Commodore 64's classic Night Driver game, all simple white dashes on a black screen before the bass and distorted patches shift…
Rootless & Starbirthed
"This album has been a long time coming. We were lucky enough to do a tape in 2022 with Jeremy Hurewitz (aka Rootless) called what the truth leaves out. But this is the first time we’ve been able to work with long-time fave, Matt Lajoie, who appears with Ash Brooks as half of the no-longer-active duo, Starbirthed. The idea for this pairing was presented to us by Jeremy, who recorded the album at his cabin in southern Vermont in 2019. Jeremy’s Rootless project generally features at least a soupço…
I Was Thinking
*300 copies limited edition* "What a pleasure it is to hear this new album from France’s Jean-Baptiste Favory, long-distance associate of Los Lichis, presenter of France’s longest running avant garde radio show (Epsilonia), and a goddamn great musician. I Was Thinking is the solo third album we’ve done with J-B (preceded by Things Under and Ciels), and we think it’s the most varied and fascinating one yet. Using guitars, keyboards and electronics, Favory explores the edges between avant-rock, ex…
Nothing Is What It Seems
2011 release ** "Last effort of 2011 for Gianluca Becuzzi this Nothing Is What It Seems, which is published at the end of the year by Silentes with a splendid graphic based on photos by Stefano Gentile and artwork by Andrea Marutti; Claudio Rocchetti completes the team of collaborators contributing with “sound objects” in a couple of tracks. All the rest (composition, production and mastering) is by Becuzzi. Nothing is as it seems tells us the title, and leads us to think that the sounds we hea…

[In]visible Fields
2011 release ** "Gianluca Becuzzi is an italian electronic / electroacoustic composer and sound artist active since the first half of the 80’s. He released many albums and performed live around Europe during the last three decades under various names. Since 1999, his artistic production is characterised by a strong experimental imprint and by a clear aesthetic inclination towards abstract forms and micro / macro noises / sounds. He deals with electronic / electroacoustic composition, sound art,…
:existence
2001 release ** Limited hand-numbered edition of 500 copies. "This is the first real CD release from the German Anemone Tube, previously having released a load of tapes, vinyl and CDRs. Originally this was supposed to be Anemone Tubes last release, as Stefan was meaning to stop making noise and to concentrate on his graphic designing. Nonetheless, as the text 'A new beginning " in the inner sleeve of this CD suggests, Stefan has maybe decided to continue with Anemone Tube and apparently is prep…
Rust Voor De Stilte
1996 release ** "Rust Voor de Stilte" means "Quiet before the silence" and is inspired by fading memories and unattainable desires. "Rust Voor de Stilte" is music from the soul that speaks to the heart. Bittersweet strains reminiscent of music box melodies combined with elegant rhythms are just some of the elements that set this work apart from other contemporary ambient releases. Emmanuel Tuts-Schiemsky’s cool mixture of beauty and melancholic grace is a journey through experimental sounds.."
Regno Di Pianta
2004 release ** "Third Reutoff album, initially released in 2000 as a CDR limited to 100, has been finally re-released by Ewers Tonkunst. Being the darkest, gloomiest and most industrial album of the project, Regno Di Pianta has become one of the most sought after Reutoff release during last few years. Dense and sombre dark-ambient intertwined with noises and sprinkles of voice and cello samples stand in ones light leaving nothing but eternal dusk of the misty reign of suffer and solitude - the…
Il Sonno Del Sogno
2001 release ** "Italian act Runes Order (Claudio Dondo) started in 1988, and have released more than 30 releases in 3 decades. Here they present an evocative mixture of cold beauty and melancholic grace. Introspective, meditative, deep-hidden emotions, resulting in a classic Darkwave / Dark Ambient album. "Il Sonno Del Sogno" (the sleep of a dream) is the music from a performance of Element/i - Trapobana, which premiered in in a short and experimental version at the Teatro dell'Acquario of Cose…
Untree
2008 release ** "The minimalism that Andrea Sartori had proposed to us some time ago, rich in live sound objects, field recordings in tune with ambient, returns deprived of the connection with the dancefloor in this beautiful album by Mou, lips!, a sonic creation by Andrea Gabriele. The proposal inevitably hooks up with the sandy drifts of Boards of Canada in the very hot incipit Non è colpa mia! to then move on to a meditative journey made of acoustic guitars (for INstruments), trumpets and cla…
