A Symphony For Amiga
Music for Amiga is Vito Ricci’s first vinyl record of original music in decades. This project was made on the Commodore Amiga (with it's infamous sound chip) composing all the pieces on Music Mouse - Laurie Spiegel's pioneering software from the mid-80s.
A Heart So White
Three years on from their debut collaborative album “Passive Aggressive“, Jonny Nash and Suzanne Kraft return with their second full length album, “A Heart So White”.
“A Heart So White” represents a continuation of the working philosophy adopted during the recording of their debut; immersion in an unfamiliar recording environment with a limited set of tools and the goal of exploring the possibilities that lie within these limitations. The album was written and recorded in the Willem Twee Concert…
Haunted, Non/Haunted
The Doberman crew has been relentlessly touring the U.S. for years now, existing as a traveling band of frequent collaborators and changing lineups, consisting of often radically different artists across many different states, that has resulted in a sonic path and sound unique all to their own. After dozens of recordings on Easy Listening (Green), Mastermind (Denmark), I Dischi Del Barone (Sweden), No Rent Records, and countless self released CD-Rs and tapes, this LP marks a dark and twisted tu…
Experimental & Parametric Music 1976-2017
Through 'Experimental & Parametric Music 1976-2017', more than 40 years of the Joris De Laet's work are unveiled. We discover here for the first time the great coherence of this work: from 'Signalisations' (1976) to 'Mnemosyne pour une acousmaman' (2017). The twelve compositions are annotated and explained in detail by the composer, as well as a kind of wild autobiography.
Inspired by the deep control on electronic sonics, he has been defining his work since 1979 as 'Parametric Music,' music whe…
Sssseegmmeentss Frrooom Baaari
Stochastic music for percussion and synthesizers from New York avant conceptualist and keyboardist Charlemagne Palestine, here on voice, piano & electronics, with the Italian duo Trrmà a multifaceted project formed by Giovanni Todisco (percussion) and Giuseppe Candiano (synthetizers) in two side-long works of irregular rhythm, complexity and dissonance that build and recede in a suspenseful journey. Recorded in 2018.
Radio Music Extended (Based on John Cage's Radio Music)
The composition Radio Music Extended, performed by Opening Performance Orchestra, draws upon the concept John Cage brought to bear in his piece Radio Music from 1956. In collaboration with the Tesla Museum in Trest, whose collections include unique exhibits of radio electronic and audio-visual devices, the 72-minute piece Radio Music Extended came into being during a private live performance in July 2018. The seven members of Opening Performance Orchestra and two alternating guests operated 13 h…
Everything Starts
Since the early 90's, the Belgian duo Silk Saw has pioneered nearly unclassifiable electronic music at the forefront of experimental and avant-garde.
Their 12th album is a contiguous expansion of the universe created in 'Imaginary Landscapes', the previous album published on Kotä in 2015, blending sweet and bitter in languorous and enigmatic melodies that float on intriguing polyrhythms. With the release of 'Nothing is Finished' on Sub Rosa, Marc Medea and Gabriel Séverin are back home, since th…

Terry Riley and Don Cherry Duo
Another incredible treasure from the vaults of Cologne radio, recorded in late February 1975. In this duo improvisation Terry Riley's organ intersections just define the geometry of the hyper-dimensional space where Don Cherry's outwordly trumpet lives. Mantric and evocative, we could go on and on listening to the very same track all day long, it could last forever...In 1975, pioneering minimalist composer Terry Riley and jazz trumpet cosmonaut Don Cherry joined forces for a magnetic performance…
Cross the Desert
**200 copies** Looking for the desert, awaiting abandonment, marrying detachment: essential steps for those who ardently want new dawns and new lands to get lost in. First of all losing the common coordinates, the secure footholds, the consolidated certainties, forgetting scores, borders and judgments. A laying down, on the one hand, of the external conventions in order to make room and give light to the unexpected, to what pulsates underground, unheard. On the other hand, a putting aside of one…
Pedreres
New album from Nad Spiro in a special vinyl edition co-released by Geometrik and Munster Records. In her new sonic fiction, Rosa Arruti, aka Nad Spiro, reveals an unusual dimension of her work, using just one guitar and four pedals on her sonic explorations through the lost quarries of Montjuïc, the legendary mountain of Barcelona. Armed just with her guitar, Spiro activates subterranean echoes, spectral loops, and secret vibrations on an initiation trip through invisible labyrinths. Enigmatical…
Mixing Colours
Empathetic ambient siblings Roger & Brian Eno gently experiment with synaesthetic sound-colour pieces inspired by Schubert on 18 MIDI visions recorded over the last 15 years. It’s super sweet stuff, a necessary balm for current states of psychic anxiety. “Roger and Brian Eno explore the nature of sound in their first ever duo album, Mixing Colours. The album’s eighteen soundscapes invite listeners to immerse themselves in the infinite space that lies below their surface. Coming out on Deutsche …
When Only Shades Remain
Andrea Marutti (Amon and Never Known, among others) and Giuseppe Verticchio (Nimh) have teamed up again for this new Hall of Mirrors monumental release. Textural, noisy, profound dark ambient with some pretty 'melodic' patterns hidden behind layered noises and evolving drones. Astonishing, to say the least.
Altered Nights
Third CD from the acclaimed collaboration between Andrea Marutti (Amon, Never Known, among others) and Giuseppe Verticchio (Nimh). Spread out over two CDs and totaling over 100 minutes, there's a lot to absorb here; organic, textural ambience that's murky and abstract, uncurling like tendrils of smoke before coalescing into a simulacrum of shadowy figures, to turbulent, more immersive post industrial sounds that prowl the depths of subterranean caverns and forgotten, still radioactive ruins. Fea…
Forgotten Realm
Second chapter in the Hall of Mirrors saga, a project that hides the fervid minds of Giuseppe Verticchio/Nimh and Andrea Marutti/Amon. Another long and fascinating journey among the ruins of lost and ancient civilizations, among desolate landscapes forgotten by time.
Reflections on Black
Hall of Mirrors is a new musical project formed by Giuseppe Verticchio (Nimh) and Andrea Marutti (Amon). The music is in the similar vein to the respective works of these two Italian artists. Consequently it provides a handful of dense, droney, shimmering electronic sequences that dissipate into distortion and black noises.
Tape from Oort Cloud
Tip! **200 copies** Sedimental is honored to partner with Skell to release the latest majestic work from Mike Griffin’s Parashi: Tape from Oort Cloud. Griffin has honed an aesthetic that few are capable of attaining let alone comprehending: elegence and refinement fused to intense, sonic, noise-based electronics and sound sources. Over the two sides and four tracks Griffin conjures complex, heavy and nuanced terrain that triggers buried images and emotions without being emotional and that acts a…
Etudes From a Starship
Voin Oruwu is a project driven by Ukrainian artist Dmitriy Avksentiev. Etudes From a Starship is his second album and has been inspired by astral themes. The album invites the listener to join a fantasy universe created by the simple power of music. This music is clearly ambient - and cinematic - but also dark and mysterious. The tracks are diversified and sometimes feature surprising passages such as Decay Instability for its furious bass line sequence and Acid Clavi 2110, which sounds as being…
Eleven Minarets
**300 copies** Previously released as part of Arab Quarter by Soleilmoon back in 1996, 11 Minarets, is a focused exploration on one theme which allowed Bryn Jones to push the boundaries of his music deep into new areas. As on his other albums released at around the same time, the volume is pushed to the limit. With this album, Muslimgauze continued to define his own genre, and without a doubt there simply were no imitators, wannabes or pretenders. The artwork for this album contains elements of …
