2016 repress. Electronic Sound is George Harrison's second solo album, and the second and final record released on the Beatles' short-lived Zapple Records (an offshoot of Apple Records), before it was folded at the insistence of The Beatles' then-manager Allen Klein. Released in May 1969, it features two lengthy pieces - one per side on the original vinyl release - performed on the Moog synthesizer. Portions of white noise from "No Time or Space" are used throughout "I Remember Jeep", one of sev…

Limited and numbered edition of 100 copies on clear vinyl. From 1983. Neuronal radioactivity, supported by ancestral sounds that emanate from atomic testing flows that absorb a loss of fallen energy. The mutant nucleus emits subtle scents of chemical processes for synthesizing the listener decay. Considered a high-water mark of early industrial, Maurizio Bianchi Aktivitat went against the grain prevalent at the time; rather than pushing the boundaries of volume and pummeling rhythm (f…

** shipping within a few days** In an everlasting process that continuously repositions and reevaluates infinity as a consciously unachievable but ultimately rewarding goal since the early '90s, David Maranha's music has been riding that arc with ferocity and aplomb. A unique vision that has been translating the eternal in a sprawling language through countless performances, approaches and records like Marches of the New World and the Roaratorio released classic Antarctica. Always the unse…

LP edition of Rizan Said's King of Keyboard, originally released as a CD by Beirut-based Annihaya Records in 2015 (END 011CD). Reissued by Discrepant in collaboration with Annihaya. ''There is no other Syrian dabke musician that has enjoyed the local, regional, national, and international recognition that Rizan Said has, and for that, the world is lucky. Rizan is a musical ambassador from a disappeared Syria, and this is not to be taken lightly. Once upon a time, not too long ago, Syria w…

Restocked. In the late 1970s and through the 1980s there was a lot happening on the German "post Krautrock underground" that few people knew about, lots of independent artists doing their own thing, either via small labels or doing it themselves. Circles were one of these bands. Based on the Frankfurt suburbs, they consisted of the  multi-instrumental duo of Dierk Leitert (synthesizer, sequencer, drums, bass, guitar, voice, saxophone, flute) and Mike Bohrmann (guitars, bass, synthesizer) plus a …

CD Edition. 10,001 Dreams” is a perfect distillation of Paul Marcano’s musical essence: thoughtful, psychedelic, pop-oriented music but with a deeply progressive ear for song structure and the intuitive glow of a well-crafted lyrical refrain.” (Jack D. Fleischer—10, 001 Dreams, Liner Notes) A thematic sequel of sorts to the sci-fi psych odyssey exploring cosmic ideology that was the British Columbians debut—LightDreams’ Islands In Space—10,001 Dreams from 1982 finds its leader, Paul Marc…

2025 stock A linchpin of Montreal's experimental community for over two decades, Jean-Sébastien Truchy has performed with Fly Pan Am, Set Fire to Flames and Avec le soleil sortant de sa bouche among countless others as well as co-running the presently defunct Los Discos Enfantasmes label. After a string of tape releases on LDE, Digitalis, Sic Sic & others, Transmission in an Expanse of Firelight, Hear Me! is Truchy's first proper full length record. Combining elements of Musique concrète, field …

A new long-form offering of poignant, isolationist machine music from Secret Boyfriend. Eschewing the cryptic and compact song-sketches that characterised his 2013 Blackest Ever Black LP, This Is Always Where You’ve Lived, Ryan Martin instead guides us through vast interior topographies and nerve-damaged ambiences that comfort and deceive like memory itself. Beginning with "The Singing Bile" – minimal synth submerged and subjected to an almost oceanic pressure – the tracks are mostly crude, exte…

2003 release ** The first ANTS international production comes with the new project by David First, one of the champions of the US experimental scene. It's a set of four long pieces, generated by the coupling of frequencies, pulsating drones designed to emulate and induce various states of brainwave activity. A static form that slowly modifies itself, in time. A new experience!

2012 release ** "Gridshape is an intersection of heavily distorted violent sounds with points of kinetic aural quietness through the interaction between digital electronics and guitars. Franz Rosati: Electronics, distorted guitars. Francesco Saguto: Classic, distorted, prepared guitars."

Sì is the first release by Routine. Recorded between 2000 and 2013 and composed by 2009, this work sprout by love for organic, raw, electroacoustic sounds and the merging of the typical song structure with musique concrète.

He is now the head of the electronic music department at Brooklyn Colle…

In the follow-up to The Reoccurrence (2015),  Arek Gulbenkoglu presents End-music:  a series of insular sonic imprints via use of tape detritus, voice and abused electronics. End-music continues Gulbenkoglu’s fascination with sound at its most elemental level and comprises three sculptural pieces in which textures are examined from different angles, and threads are pulled bare. This is a transparent and tactile music that accumulates, shifts and contorts.

First and foremost, Surrender, Render, End is an electro-acoustic dialectic, unremittingly engaged in a pugilist conflict between art and accident. The Swiss noise-composer Francisco Meirino began working on the skeleton for this piece in 2014 as a multi-channel, modular synth patch, which has been in an ongoing state of modification through public diffusions and private rumination. Meirino posits the album as a metaphysical puzzle of manipulated tape, atonal synthesis, and concrete sound. He is…

FloodLines was recorded live at Cafe Oto as part of "Touch presents" on January 31st, 2016. Simon Scott is a sound ecologist and multi-instrumentalist from Cambridge, England. His past albums include Insomni(Ash International) and Below Sea Level (Kesh/TouchLine). His work explores the creative process of actively listening, the implications of recording the natural world using technology and the manipulation of natural sounds used for musical composition. He plays the drums inSlowdive and has r…

Jürgen Karg began his music career in the 1960s as a bassist for German jazz legend Wolfgang Dauner. It was not until the 1970s that he switched his attention to electronic music, launching himself wholeheartedly into exploring the genre and building up an extensive collection of synthesizers over a five-year period. His efforts culminated in the 1977 Elektronische Mythen LP, a mighty opus of experimental music that reveals new aspects every time it is played. This is its first reissue. The tech…

"German experimental electronic composer Asmus Tietchens isn't exactly the first person most people think of when they discuss synth pop. In fact, even among hardcore electronic music fans, he's more known for his longstanding dedication to academic electronic music in the spirit of Stockhausen and Pierre Henry, and in fact holds a position at the University of Hamburg. However, having also worked with Tangerine Dream's Peter Baumann, Conny Plank, Cluster, and Thomas Köner, he's had more than a …

Continuing with the ongoing re-release series of all early Asmus Tietchens vinyl albums between 1980 and 1991, "E" was originally released on LP by Dom in 1988. This CD reissue includes both tracks from the bonus 7", "U", that came with the first pressing of the LP, plus two unreleased tracks from that period. As always the original cover artwork is reproduced as a fold out poster. The booklet includes editorial remarks on the release. Ltd x 600 copies.

Haren is a Brussels commune where deserted industries have supplanted the farmlands. Here, plenty of rail hubs bind and unbind while planes don’t take off anymore from its missing airport, but from nearby Zaventem.Despite it being unattractive though desirable, I felt immediately at ease over there, at the frontier of abandonment & forgetting ; I could listen to & gaze at desolate spots with a constantly renewed amazement of still being in Brussels.The Wanson factories where I have recorded in 2…

At last, in stock now!! Urban Sax's third LP was recorded in 1982 & 1985, and released in 1985 on Celluloid, and it is an absolute diamond - sharing Julian Cope words "Everything starts with this massive (and I mean it...we're basically talking about something the size of an orchestra here) wash of sound, like something dropped wholesale out of the trippier parts of Ligeti's material in the "2001" soundtrack. Then we get swept into the primal repetition of a simple motif...very Magma-like, save …

LP version. Includes CD. Three guitarists, three generations, one album. Günter Schickert, Jochen Arbeit, and Dirk Dresselhaus are all renowned Berlin guitarists. They epitomize three generations of experimental musicians; Schickert personifies the krautrock of the 1970s, Arbeit 1980s post-punk, and Dresselhaus the neo-electronica of the late 1990s and 2000s. Their artistic approaches may differ according to their diverse musical backgrounds, yet what they have in common is a fundamental in…

Half of Indonesia's Senyawa (the band's sole instrumentalist, Wukir Suryadi) with a solo release for Morphine. Engineered by Rabih Beaini. Art direction by The Tank Boys.The unique tone and twang of Wukir Suryadi’s homemade bambuwukir - a hollow tube of bamboo with strings and pick ups played like a guitar/sitar - recorded at Weltkulturen Museum, Frankfurt, by Philip Albus in October 2015, is twisted and serrated into a pair of gripping tracks, following an unsteady, zig-zagging and buzzing …

One half (the vocal force) of Indonesia's Senyawawith a solo release for Morphine. Engineered by Rabih Beaini. Art direction by The Tank Boys.

Go Go Theurgy, the first Anna Zaradny’s album in eight years, consists of two majestic compositions. Strikingly charismatic and intense, they teem with sensuality and anxiety, while their palpably dense and detailed texture is constantly filled with tension and sense of urgency. The crystal-clear narration of these structurally complex pieces creates a framework for Zaradny's uniquely intricate and emotional sound. This music celebrates performativity and defies genre limitations. Although brave…

Alga Marghen presents a reissue of Intersystems' Free Psychedelic Poster Inside (1968). Intersystems occupied a difficult-to-reach critical nook between the many tropes that had established to frame the various artistic trends of 1960s. Announcing itself with a quivering beam of fluorescent sound, the beginning of Intersystems' Free Psychedelic Poster Inside feels as though it's slowly piercing right through your frontal lobe. Blake Parker's poetry is a dark glimpse into mundane domesticity …

Alga Marghen presents a reissue of Intersystems' Peachy (1967). The sound work of Intersystems cannibalized stray bits of McLuhanism, psychedelia, Cagean experimentalism, and even the modernist gestural strains of nascent electronic music, yet it was all couched within a very particular DIY ethos. Peachy pushes the meticulousness of Number One Intersystems (NMN 093-1LP) even further and, as such, represents a more balanced amalgam of Intersystems' various disparate stylistic and emotional elemen…

Alga Marghen presents a reissue of Intersystems' Number One Intersystems (1967). Intersystems' works evoke the heightened awareness, intermittent psychosis, intellectual over-stimulation and giddy nihilism of an acid expedition. "Orange Juice and Velvet Underwear" may indeed be the most typically "Psychedelic" cut of Intersystems entire catalog. Its saturated crypto-Indian drone and bent acoustic guitar notes, are upstaged by Parker's lurid-sounding declamations and Mills-Cockell's fierce …

Claudio Rocchetti is one of the key figure in the european experimental scene. An enthusiastic traveler and a deep resercher, Rocchetti had created his strong sonic universe made by fragile melodies and electro acoustic incursion. Kennedy Pantheon : Alte Meister is a time travel made by field recordings, stolen tales, historical documents and interviews, the composition is vivid and filmic, mixing real memories and fictions combining sounds far meaningfully and in time. The result it lies not in…

For the first time, the music of French electro-acoustic lynchpin, Jérôme Noetinger is played by an instrumental group, Ensemble Phoenix Basel with uniquely dynamic, rugged results for Poland’s Bocian Records. In June 2012, Ensemble Phoenix Basel commissioned me to create a work for them to play. It was the first time in my life I had received such a request. After several months of reflection, I accepted and began working on a way of communicating a music with other musicians.Not knowing classi…

Illuminant/Glory is a wild awake, which marks the transition to a new perception of the self. A solitary trip towards the discover of the feral nature which ideally leads to death (Illuminant) and to rebirth (Glory) of whom embarks on this trip.  Through sampling in real time floor-tom, voice and synths, the listener is buried under layers of percussions, drones and mantras, dragged further down ("Come down with us") to exorcise the fear of what he is in nature. Only confronting with death…

1997EV is an experimental psychedelic post-apocalyptic project born in the late 90's and led by Andrea Ev.Since the beginning, the project focused into experimenting several heavy-on-drones and drum machines recordings, flowing from both a surreal trance-impro style to a subliminally cosmic free-pop-folk industrial song.1997EV recent efforts refocused towards even outer recesses and post-technological wanderings. Sound has become even more distressing and anguish an immanent existential t…

In the pieces featured on this record, I have chosen simple electronic means - the kind that are commonplace, accessible, cheap, and easy to use - and I put them to work in a mostly-theatrical way: a situation of representation, one that is unique, new, and creative, where the focus lies in esthetics and poetics instead of in technological prowess. An imagination of otherness, where you don't know anymore whether the other is the soundworld produced out of time in the 'black box' of electronics …

Superb re-issue of 2nd cassette release from 1983! The true futuristic/bruitistic industrial machine sound from this French master! Comes in "heavy duty" oversized deluxe cover, lim./numb. 500 on black 200gr. vinyl. "Bruitism is the representation of a living, biological body, not unrelated but on the contrary intimate to the substance. The nature/technique gap is totally, in The Art of Noises, the most accomplished form of a reconciliation with industrial mechanization. By highlighting the a…

BLUES ALIF LAM MIM IN THE MODE OF RAG INFINITY/RAG COSMOSIS is a new composition from Catherine Christer Hennix's expanded just-intonation ensemble, the Chora(s)san Time-Court Mirage. This expanded ensemble includes vocalists Imam Ahmet Muhsin Tüzer, Amir Elsaffan and Amirtha Kidambi, an expanded brass section with the addition of Paul Schwingesnschlögl and Elena Kakaliagou as well as the additon of Marcus Pal and Stefan Tiedje on electronics.Packaged in a lavish, oversized letterpressed jacket …

A single forty-six minute piece recorded at the Moderna Museet in Stockholm in March 1976, during an eight-day festival Hennix organised and named after the intuitionist mathematician Brouwer. Two amplified Renaissance oboes and a sheng against sine wave generators she built herself. It was the group's only documented public performance.

The Ligurian duo St.Ride, composed of Edo Grandi and Maurizio Gusmerini, is one of the most ambiguous and lest framed bands of Italian experimental music. Their first works came out for some labels but the rest has all been self-released on cd-r for Niente, diy label that the two members use for their side projects. The only thing that counts is their music, an out-and-out studio made of unexpected events. From the acid, electronic strokes of Primitivo to the successful mix between On-U Sound ta…

Recorded in Athens in July 2014, the second album by 300 Basses extends the trio's move from free improvisation toward fixed composition. The investigation here turns on minimal but precisely framed actions: the beating patterns generated by long tones at slightly detuned pitches, the unstable timbre that emerges when reed sustains are layered with bowed cymbal, the slow permutation of a reduced interval set. A sound world built from infinitesimal elements, dense in vibration and microvariation.

Abstract Metabolismus side project which is sure to fry your mind and bring change to the chemical connections in your organism. Edition of 80 copies.

Infinite Greyscale announce a new 10" record by The Beacon Sound Choir, a project instigated by multi-instrumentalist Peter Broderick. Recorded at Beacon Sound, a record shop and label in Portland, Oregon, Sunday Morning Drones is a work of improvised vocal drone in two parts.Comprising over 30 singers, Sunday Morning Drones explores the oscillating harmonics of the choir as individual voices coalesce into that of a group. Through an assembly of voices joined in song, the two tracks here resonat…
