Sirens
"When I was 22 I managed to acquire Techno Animal’s Demonoid 12" at a local record store, Rocking Horse Records. I can still recall the intensities of sound that marked the first moments of listening to it. The sense of bass as a tactile surface, that rolling groove and the howling sine waves and dub sirens that scorched with a type of sonic burning sensation that to this day makes my hairs stand on end. A year later I heard Ice’s Bad Blood, from there I discovered The Bug through a release on W…
Parada
**300 copies** Brilliantly relentless LinnDrum productions made as a sort of homage to Prince’s Parade album; forty minutes of virulent, Afro-Latin polyrhythms that sound something like Prince producing free jazz jungle with Jamal Moss and the Príncipe gang. Lisbon-based Bruno Silva enacts pure voodoo with extended, restless LinnDrum workouts that take Prince’s distinctive LM-1 signatures as a starting point for loose-limbed tribal jams that flow with the colour of the Brazilian carnival and the…

Not Knowing
Costa Monteiro's fifth solo accordion album, and the one in which he deliberately reverses his earlier recording strategy. Where previous works placed microphones almost inside the instrument to foreground materiality, structure and deconstruction, Not Knowing instead treats the accordion as an object in space, with the architecture of the recording room becoming essential to the work. The result blurs the limits of identification, holding the instrument's identity in productive uncertainty.
Horizontal Alliances, Vertical Conflicts
Nine years after Play Cat's Cradle, Rose and Sandy return to the same ecclesiastical source - here an auto-harp from the same convent - for a second extended collaboration, again played and processed live. The album divides into nine spectral bands functioning as strings to be stopped, muted or amplified, and reads the intervening years as a shift from devotion and idealism to entropy and conflict. The acoustic body remains, but its overtones now turn cold, shrill, fractured.
Fean
**200 copies** Fean started as a musical artist-in-residence project in a little church in the Frysian village Katlyk. The group consists of Jan Kleefstra, Romke Kleefstra, Mariska Baars and Rutger Zuydervelt (Machinefabriek), who also form the quartet Piiptsjilling. For Fean they are accompanied by Belgian guests Annelies Monseré, Sylvain Chauveau and Joachim Badenhorst. The Fean project gets its inspiration from the ecological decay of peatland in the Dutch province Friesland and in other part…
Spaces
**200 copies** "Spaces is a series of compositions based on recordings in museums. Each work builds on a binaural recording of the environmental sounds a museum and each has been processed based on different concepts. The approach for processing and adding of electronic sounds was inspired by an artwork that was hanging in the museum space. So space and artwork form a unity. As a composer and mastering engineer I am extremely sensitive to the sounds around me. But I’m also a keen visitor of muse…
Obscurum per oscurius
The Latin title - 'explaining the obscure by means of the more obscure' - frames a collection of drones composed by Kouw across an extended period, in which the initial moments of inspiration are deliberately obscured in the final material. Long-form ambient drone work, mostly close to alien stillness with the occasional submerged rhythmic emergence, the album positions itself in the alchemical lineage where the act of explanation projects further mystery into what it claims to clarify.
Siticidelhous
Companion volume to Parkustomnie, drawn from the same 2016 sessions at the Conservatorio Jesús Guridi in Vitoria-Gasteiz. Guionnet (church organ) and García (electronics) again use volume as a compositional variable: the music is engineered so that at low playback levels the performance feels restrained and exquisitely subtle, while at high volume entirely new sonic strata emerge in overwhelming detail. Electroacoustic improvisation that turns the amplifier into part of the score.

La Décorporisation de la Réalité
**numbered edition of 40 copies** "I often wander in huge empty Buildings. I realize I once squatted this Building and lived in it for a while, but I completely forgot about it. Now I’m here, the Rooms are a bit filthy and covered with Dust. The same Dust there was when I first came here. There’s still the old Machines from the previous Factory and the Content of their Storage, abandoned. Months later, after having forgotten about my Home again, I return and realize it’s been evicted. I feel a b…

Muzikë Muusika
**numbered edition of 40 copies** "Little by little, the mass turned like a slimy and forceful nausea, a kind of immense influx of vegetable and thundering blood. And the small fibers trembling at the edge of my mental eye, broke off with a vertiginous speed of the tense mass of the wind. And all the space trembled like a sex organ which the globe of the burning sky was battering." Wendingen 1918 is dedicated to the Dutch Architectural Magazine ‘Wendingen’ from 1918 and the Work and Life of Anto…
