**200 copies** "This project represents a distillation of our field recording and life adventures during the course of 5 years that we have known each other. Over those years, we’ve spent countless hours on field recording missions, recording sessions, concerts, and touring together. With this in mind, we decided to narrow our focus for this project. Initially seeking out sound environments in and around in East Vancouver, we became focused on large transportation hubs such as shipping yards and…

**150 copies** "The Verde River Valley is located in central Arizona, in a transition zone between low desert to the south and high mountains to the north. It has been my home for the past 17 years. Walking though the uninhabited areas outside of town, one encounters a wide variety of plant life: cactus as well as pine trees, creosote and crucifixion thorn, winterfat, mullein, snakeweed, hackberry, yucca and agave. There is also a plethora of debris from hundreds of years of human presence. Scat…

**200 copies** "The Lithuanian-based composer made a pilgrimage to the Ancient Greek temple of Artemis in Aulis, Greece and this is what ensued. At first the extremely faintly audible granular rumble may have you immediately popping on a pair of headphones, but at about two minutes into this 43 minute singular composition a layer of drone accompanying a tectonic flicker starts to make its presence. Slow-going the constant jetstream wall becomes the canvas for manipulations that emulate opening a…

**200 copies** "The basis of these pieces were field recordings made in the Kosciuszko National Park during summer. This national park covers alpine and sub-alpine areas, and as such provides an unusual environment within the typical low lying bushland and desert of greater Australia. It covers the highest peaks on the continent, and as such is a diverse environment that covers everything from heavily wooded valleys and riverways, through to rugged grasslands high above the treeline. There is a …

**200 copies** "In the mountains near my home here in Tucson, Arizona is a place of many memories and emotions for me. Coming upon it years ago, I instantly felt a connection to the spirit of this place. To see the changes through the years as been a gift despite the grueling 12 mile ascent from the desert floor with way too much recording gear in my pack. It can be extremely quiet there at times despite the air traffic which is inevitable being so close to a major metropolitan area. The work co…

**200 copies** "Louisville, Kentucky, sits along the banks of the Ohio River, where the river cuts through the limestone and begins to drop away toward the Mississippi. The hills that rise above that river are honeycombed with caves. It was in one of those caves on the outskirts of the city that Ten Years Under the Earth was recorded.In March 2016, Tim Barnes invited Haptic to come down from Chicago to perform with him at Dreamland, the performance arts space that he curated in Louisville. We we…

**200 copies** "An exploration of sound, from near and far / From concrete to abstract, being attentive, focused and patient… / Living each moment / A bird in the sky, an insect on my camera case / The sun appears and disappears with the clouds / A global vision from the tiny and distant / Just to hear…" - Ludovic Medery, 9 June 2015"One can tell what this disc is about by focusing on the capital letters.  eMERgences is about the sea.  In a piece of semantic irony, the artist’s last name also cr…

**200 copies** "The field recordings of Holme were made from Jan/Feb of 2016. Due to being on a very tight budget all these sounds were recorded onto a Tascam DR-05, a portable, lightweight, handheld device, and then arranged with computer software. I wanted to retain the original sound as much as possible, while still manipulating it in some way. I also did not want these recordings to be ‘normal’ recordings of wind, sea, etc, I needed to put my mark on it. The longish drones heard throughout t…

**200 copies** "Suntria is a soundscape composition orchestrated, fundamentally, through the use of audio fragments captured from distinct locations of Sintra’s forest, near Lisbon, Portugal. Since remote ages, Sintra’s mountains (in Portuguese, Serra de Sintra) are known as locations of worship and devotion. It is reputed that the Celts, Visigoths, Moorish and Romans were among the people who inhabited and praised these oneiric landscapes before the Lusitanos (the later Portuguese). Throughout …

**200 copies** "This album uses field recordings made along an approximately 4km stretch of North Dublin’s Royal Canal, between Ashtown and Phibsborough. They were made with a Sound Devices 702 recorder, a Zoom H4N recorder, a Samsung smartphone, and using DPA 4060 omni-directional mics, hand-built binaural mics (made by engineer Dave Hunt), and JRF contact mics and hydrophones. These recordings were made, on and off, over a period of about one year, at various times of day, in order to capture …

The first ever vinyl release available from Ruth Anderson - one of the most fascinating and influential figures in 20th and early 21st century electronic music.

Camizole imprint returns with this genuinely mental album recorded in France circa 1982! We've seen a lot of oddities reissued over the last few years, but few come close to capturing the bewildering brilliance of this bizarre album, resurfacing now on a first-ever vinyl pressing

States grew from a live-electronics setup developed by Tijs Ham (Tapage) in 2016: analogue feedback routed through digital manipulation to form a self-balancing, self-generating chaotic system, capable of producing its own deep melodic and textured material once the performer steps back. The 2017 sessions at Steim with bass clarinetist Gareth Davis insert a reed voice into this recursive system, opening it to spacious interplay between acoustic gesture and the autonomy of the patch.

Two compositions on the social and ritual function of music, drawn obliquely back into the experimental frame. The first piece, L'Anglard de St-Donat, takes a Central-French mazurka recorded from Alfred Mouret as its hidden source, building solid drones and recurrent structures from bowed and struck metal objects with quasi-melodic counterpoint. In Le désir the strategy inverts: detuned organs provide the rigid harmonic context within which bowed metal sticks are tuned.

Follow-up to Atsusaku (2016) by Gareth Davis (bass clarinet) and Merzbow. The earlier theme of mechanical compression is here extended into a meditation on the fears of mechanisation in the natural environment: North Sea wind farms, Southern Californian industry, the survival of animals in overrun habitats. Three tracks of impenetrable manipulated field recordings against saturated bass clarinet midrange and Merzbow's analogue/digital crossfire, with brief recognisable voices flashing through.

The Winter Trilogy and The Big Fall trilogies were realized between 2015-2019 in the Netherlands and implemented into a sequence of live shows during the same period. Both inspired by cultural sonic imprints, the Winter Trilogy (computer & accordion) and The Big Fall (computer & analogue synthesizer) explore the potential and the antitheses between analogue versus digital while expressing a personal view of particular rural landscapes.

Long-form duo work by Jon Wesseltoft and Lasse Marhaug, ongoing since 2008 as an investigation into psycho-acoustics and the phenomenology of sustained sound. The Hex of Light, recorded in 2013, consists of two stringently close-knitted pieces built around microtonal frequency interaction and slowly unsettling shifts; each gradually blooms within its own sonic time, exposing binaural beats, ghost overtones and microscopic tonal motion. Trance-inducing drone in the most rigorous sense.
