Profuse, Comfortless And Antique
A key figure among the burgeoning Worcester, Massachusetts noise scene, Seamus R. Williams crafts crude electro-acoustic sound collage made of murky tape loops and low-end electronics.

Corrugated
An intricate collage of manipulated found and appropriated sounds taken from a series of concrète reel to reel tape experiments recorded throughout 2012 and 2013 in White's hometown of London.
Macro
Ultra-limited early Robert Turman archival release, Macro was originally going to be titled Roots, because it really goes back to what I was doing 40 years ago, just more modernized technique. I had always taken small snippets of tape and records, repeated them, slowed down, modified, and layered etc, Macro was all done on the computer. I'd been thinking about how in the old days, pop songs were always between two and three minutes long. Most of my music has always been longer extended pie…

Obscure early 80s Italian electronic LP /The latest release by the Parisian label is thanks to a fluke find by an Antinote family member, who by pure chance, unearthed an unreleased guitar and synth musical jewel from Italy circa 1984.

John, Betty and Stella
John, Betty and Stella is a collaboration between Krojc and Fischerle, two musicians who feel best wandering around stylistic eclecticism. The record is a radio drama based on vintage audio material for learning English. Krojc and Fischerle cut out textbook roleplaying activities from the source material on old vinyl and processed and adapted the clips. The result is a funny and surreal collage of dialogues, sound effects, and music resembling a series of skits. The recordings are saturat…
Warm Glove
Luca Sigurtà has been composing electronic music since the early 2000s; Warm Glow is a great step forward in his compelling and very personal musical journey. On Warm Glow, Sigurtà's emotional electronic noise is mixed with slow-paced rhythms and delicate flows of analog synth. It's an original sort of trip-hop-noise-ambient, marked by remarkably melancholic melodies and beautiful digital and analog sounds. With a passion for silence and noise, Sigurtà has previously released on Fratto9 Und…

Presage
Limited to 300 copies."Presage is an LP less split than twinned, like stars, each side pulled into a mesmerising gravitational dance by the other's backspin. Black Dirt Oak and Jantar, siblings of sibilance and site, complete one another's sentences in a dark and uncanny psychic psalmistry. For their part, Black Dirt Oak stomps out a series of chthonic ur-grooves, filthy bare feet splintered by silicon shards and splashing in puddles of molten rare earths. They kick up a black angel dust of deca…

Recorded in 2013 in the mausoleum of Norwegian sculptor and painter Emanuel Vigeland (1875-1948) in Oslo, a recording space that is famous for its acoustics and its long and full-sounding reverb. These three tracks utilize both the delicacy and the power of acoustic instruments and human voice in relation to the unique recording space. Otherworldly and eerie but also with a great primal expressive force. Perfo…
