Early Years
2011 release ** "Live recordings from Syntjuntan’s first two years. Music especially composed for textile accessories. The music is tangled with lace and long stitches, embroidered with electronic sounds, square waves and curled noise. Syntjuntan is an ensemble of female composers, musicians and instrument builders. Our purpose is to meet women’s curiosity about technology and electronics, to encourage them to build instruments by themselves and otherwise facilitating their own experimentation.…
Musica Porosa
2004 release ** "The second CD, "Musica Porosa" features Karlheinz Stockhausen's son, Markus Stockhausen, now one of the most famous European jazz trumpeters, along with the talented clarinetist Tara Bouman. The seven sections that give life to the composition "Porosity" seek a trait d'union between the serial music of Stockhausen senior and the chamber jazz of the Ecm brand, especially in the fifth and sixth sections."
Essays On Radio: Can I Have 2 Minutes Of Your Time?
2005 release ** "Compiled by @c's Miguel Carvalhais, Essays on Radio: Can I Have 2 Minutes of Your Time? brings together 39 artists from the experimental electronica scene, paying tribute to or drawing inspiration from the oldest electronic media. Each piece is exactly 120 seconds, which creates a rather frantic pace; the listener soon loses track of whose contribution will play next and the music turns into a nearly uninterrupted continuum of juxtaposed sonic statements. The artists touch base…
Rakhilim
2003 release ** "One of the first albums by mysterious extravagant darkwave project [2003], that sounds somewhere between melancholic psychosis and a child’s play - like a bizarre orchestra from an alien world, charming with multidimensional electronic magic, exotic ethereal vocals, positively hypnotizing layout, yet maintaining an esoteric charge that lurks deeper, delving into caballa and magic of numbers, hidden under macabre jolly mask, equally inspired by 80-ies flavored electronic avantga…
Grains Of Voices
2025 stock The idea of Grains of Voices was born when Åke Parmerud was commissioned to write a work for the Swedish Radio. A journey around the world, recording the different inflections of the human voice then followed and the material was processed in the studio to make this electro-acoustic composition.
Grains of Voices is an electro-acoustic mix, a collage of voices from all over the world – singing, talking and shouting. The work was premiered in the Dag Hammarskjöld auditorium, in the UN…
Failed State Of Mind
2010 release ** "Jazkamer’s “Failed State of Mind” CD offers up nine tracks each clocking in at exactly 3:20 a piece, recorded between 2008-2011, across three different countries (Norway, Agrentina, and Vietnam – all couldn’t be more different), and collaged together to a cohesive yet disjointed album of mellow, weird ambient noise.The album reaches from field recordings of birdsong to beautifully amorphous feedback compositions, to up-tempo live drums meandering around quietly in the background…
Seplophobia / Post-Mortem Junkie
2008 release ** Limited to 76 copies. "Nice reissue of the long out-of-print and completely essential split cassette on Stop-Eject. Roughly fifteen minutes from each, a sinewy, ghoulish, plague-ridden mortification of industrial thud and graveyard horror. Recommended."
Untitled
2005 release ** "Obsessive electronic music to tell the end of the world chronicle. A project of electronics with strong colors where the occult imprint lives..."
Anti Matter Society
2002 release ** Limited edition of 555 hand-numbered copies. "In more than one case, Europe beyond the Iron Curtain has generated interesting groups, especially in the fields of industrial and esoteric music: just think of names like Laibach, Autopsia and ACTUS. Fellow countrymen of the latter, the Slovakian Simulacrum record their second work for our Amplexus, endowed with a distinctive character that, while remaining within the scope of a very dark ambient ritual, distinguishes them from the l…

2007 release ** Oversize card sleeve. Featuring: Teho Te.ardo, 3eem, Frammenti Trax, Nenia, N., Atrax Morgue, Cupio Dissolvi, Devis G..
Of Ghosts And Goblins
Ikue Mori's album "Of Ghosts and Goblins" is a collection of instrumental miniatures inspired by Lafcadio Hearn's Japanese folk tales, featuring themes of ghosts, goblins, and the supernatural, with tracks like "Fragment," "A Passional Karma," and "Lafcadio's Garden". Lafcadio Hearn is an author who spent much of his life researching, documenting, and preserving the ancient folk tales of Japan. He published a series of books in the late 19th and early 20th century including In Ghostly Japan, Kwa…
Sexy Tears
'Sexy Tears' is a bold departure from Tristanne's (fka Tristan) critically acclaimed pop-jazz debut Wellif and lets you veer into uncharted territory, from the first tone, the bittersweet and haunting violin tones fade in on opener 'Steady Mouth'. In a split second, Tristanne lets you vanish in a dazzling matrix deep down a rabbit hole, a place where Piero Umiliani's 70s sleazy giallo era sensually resonates with Oneothrix Point Never goldwave frequencies. With a whisper of panting tension, her …
Baby, It's Cold Inside
'The fun years', comprised of multi-instrumentalists Ben Recht and Isaac Sparks, have been making music together since the turn of the century, producing intriguing interrogations of ambient, drone, post-rock, and turntablism. Originally released in 2008 on the now-defunct Barge Recordings, 'baby it’s cold inside' is perhaps the high watermark of their discography. Equally concerned with microtonal nuance and harmonic intensity, it is both a product of its time and something well past it. The ch…
Starlight
Julius Smack engages in a dialogue with a fictional AI assistant to create an album using the prompt, “Make an album that tells the story about the origins of Julius Smack.” Starlight emerges as the imagined response, envisioning a world where beauty and violence intertwine, and memories and dreams are excavated to craft stories.
In a near-future Earth, where artists are among the planet’s last inhabitants, a symbiotic relationship has formed between humans and AI—each relying on the other for n…
Decomposition: Fox on a Highway
While working a job that required frequent drives between Philadelphia and a remote warehouse to sort furniture, Brendan Principato, the artist behind the project Saapato, noticed a fox on the side of the highway that had been struck dead by a car. Its vibrant red coat stood out against the asphalt. Day after day, the fox remained there, gradually transitioning from serene lifelessness to an unrecognizable state, a haunting reminder of nature’s cyclical processes. This encounter sparked a year-l…
Greater honeyguide
Fraufraulein, the San Francisco duo of Billy Gomberg and Andy Guthrie, are master world builders. Their work is immersive — it wraps around you like a warm coat, guiding you deep into a trance-like state. Time moves in slow circles, folds in on itself, and unspools like caught fishing line. It’s tempting to say Guthrie and Gomberg construct a new reality with their work, but I think they’re revealing the contours of familiar territory, gluing together a complicated mirror more than constructing …
Conflict / Re-Conflict
2015 release ** "What happens when music becomes a weapon? For his project "Conflict Music - The Soundtrack of World Cultures", composer and film director Christian von Borries deals with the role of music in military conflicts. In doing so, different perspectives and facets such as military training, music as weapon, music in future wars are picked up on and artistically processed. Musically, early incarnations of military march music as well as scores and compositions from distinct artists suc…
These Graves
2005 release ** "Justin Meyers of Devillock distinguishes himself from the mediocre masses with the release These Graves, or, if one combines the track titles, “The Blood From,” “These Graves,” “Weigh Forever,” “On Rotten Creatures”. To me, the mark of a good noise, experimental, or ambient disc is the ability to make me uncomfortable. To take me out of the daily comfortable reality and make me feel fear, dread, hate, melancholy – this is the reason I listen to noise. These Graves combines drone…
Drafts
2007 release ** Dawid Szczesny is a sound artist located in Wroclaw, Poland. His music is mainly based on samples of old vinyl records.
Conversations
2017 release ** "Following his critically acclaimed Paraphrases album from 2012 and the more electronic based recordings as Field Rotation, Christoph Berg joins Sonic Pieces with the first new material under his own name in over four years. Conversations essentially expresses contemplation, consciousness and the urge for retreat from the sometimes overwhelming present times. The musician’s genuine approach to minimal chamber music acts as a fading scenario of nostalgia and memory to rely on, sim…
