White Nights
*200 copies limited edition.* At the same time, together with "News From Wormland" another, tenth part of the GT Archive Series is being relesed. As next chapter is a recording of the "White Nights" session, originally released on CDR by Die Schöne Blumen Musik Werk in 2003. It is considered by many to be one of the best albums in the Genetic Transmission discography. Dynamic, electrifying and strong material in the spirit of musique concrète. It is based largely on electroacoustic preparations …
Sorry Gold
*300 copies limited edition.* We present a new studio album from Gintas K. The artist in cooperation with Michelle O'Rourke and Emily Aoibheann composed and recorded music for Performance "Sorry Gold". In order to best present the subject and character of this interdisciplinary art, we will use the words of the author herself: "If aerial is the dance of industrial technology, what will the dance of biotechnology be? This new work reinvigorates performance as a living and speculative environmenta…
Artwork 51
*300 copies limited edition. In process of stocking* "Artwork 51" is the second album for Zoharum, a group formed by musicians known from the Rapoon, Pas Musique and Promute projects (also previously released by our label). The intercontinental trio consistently continues and develops its formula of psychedelic electronics, using quite similar instruments and sound objects. Just like on the "Welcome to Graceland" album, you can hear echoes of music close to the achievements of Cluster, Deuter or…
Skulls On The Plains Of Turkey
*100 copies limited edition.* On the latest album, Robin Storey once again invites us to a musical journey closer to the exotic world of the Orient, sparkling with many delicately woven miniatures, based on fragments of melodies, heard as if in the deep sleep phase, when sounds and images reaching us from a distance gently fill the space, giving the impression of an integral part of it. Out of nine tracks filled with tribal rhythms, vocals and a wide palette of colors, an extremely coherent, sli…
Compositions
Oslo’s Deathprod (aka Helge Sten) announces Compositions, his new album out January 27th on Smalltown Supersound, and presents its lead single/video, “Composition 1.” The first new Deathprod studio project since 2019’s Occulting Disk—“a mesmerizing, terrifying, and emotionally nuanced ‘anti-fascist ritual’ of an album” (Pitchfork)—Compositions is the result of an intense period at his legendary Audio Virus Lab studio in central Oslo. All tracks are released in chronological order – in other word…
Speak, You Also
When we can no longer move forward or look outward, some reflect and seek truth in themselves – some sharing, through the language of music, what might be impossible to say through words.
Electrons
*200 copies limited edition.* As the theory of the atom, quantum mechanics is perhaps the most successful theory in the history of science. It enables physicists, chemists, and technicians to calculate and predict the outcome of a vast number of experiments and to create new and advanced technology based on the insight into the behaviour of atomic objects. But it is also a theory that challenges our imagination. It seems to violate some fundamental principles of classical physics, principles tha…
naming the trees
*50 copies limited edition. In processof stocking. 2023 stock* "Naming The Trees (zero192) by J. Surak is a concise art statement, just ten minutes a side on the limited cassette. Apparently produced by a combination of methods: analog synths, patches, treated and prepared instruments, and a humidifier – maybe a field recording of one of these handy domestic beasts, unless he “trained” its limited mind to assist in the performance in some way. Furthermore, it’s got something to do with a dance s…
The Last Piece of Graphite
*300 copies limited edition. In process of stocking* Ideas are suggested and quickly abandoned. In their wake chance becomes intention. Clues that reveal themselves upon repeated listenings. This is not background music or audio as utility. Repeated plays will unfold their rewards and spaces yet unexplored. For this is the last piece of graphite. Recorded in the studio, in the woods, and on river banks using analog electronics, prepared objects, bass, double bass, guitar, and tapes, in Hamburg/W…
Ephemeral Dawn
*2023 stock* A morbid industrial classic haunts new buildings in the bleak form of “Ephemeral Dawn” by Anenzephalia. We take a look at this slow and tense mid-90s document that gives the same necrotic chills today as it did then. Here the dream dies!
Nested Russian Dolls Of Paranoia
Third and probably last volume from Gonçalo F. Cardoso’s most disillusioned moniker, Prophetas. Where the first tape, Reveal, Accept, Remember, Forget, revived mid 50’s ideas of weird hope (UFO sightings, suburbia, space race) and the second, Maury Island Reverie, explored early 90’s disillusionment through a sound world of mall culture, late night cable TV and rampant consumerism, this new work concludes de unplanned trilogy with a more randomised yet no hope approach to the sentiments and conc…
Astro-Noetic Chiasm X
"In listening to Astro-Noetic Chiasm χ by Zsolt Sőrés, one quickly has the impression that the sounds being heard are coming from an anomalous nowhere. As if they were not generated here but received from there. They simply sound otherworldly. So, what is their actual address in space and time, as well as the sender’s or the receiver’s? How are we to identify them?
We could of course try to single out the sonic settings and processes we hear according to the technology that produced them (uncon…
Stanford
Debut collaboration between Puppy38 (Hiroshimabend) and Alan Rider (Adventures in Reality, Stress, Dance Naked, Attrition, etc.) co-released by Opiumdenpluto and Adventures in Reality besides Fourth Dimension Records. This album brings together incredible electronic works designed to recreate the sound experience of the notorious Stanford Prison Experiment. About the music, Puppy38 himself says, "A dash of John Carpenter, whispers of early Cabaret Voltaire and a portion of gingerbread stuffed wi…
Exq I
Faitiche presents the album Exq I by Berlin underground techno legends Muellie Messiah & Punk not Punk, mainly known under their 100Records moniker. Weighing in at 36 minutes, the track was recorded in 2010, effortlessly intermingling dub, drone and collage, a blend achieved thanks to the duo’s jazz-inspired approach to improvisation.
Offworld Radiation Therapy
For the last few years Memnon Sa has been Misha Hering’s outlet for exploring the depths of his imagination. Using his London HQ, the now legendary Holy Mountain Studios (Spiritualized, Idles, 40 Watt Sun) as his own personal laboratory, he has released three sprawling albums: Citadel (2014), Lemurian Dawn (2018) and most recently the acclaimed World Serpent (2020). For his fourth album, and first on Shadow World, Hering’s efforts have been fully galvanized by the world he now finds himself livi…
Perpetual Care
The bulk of Perpetual Care, Early Fern’s third album for Métron Records, was inspired by memories of a time and place of great emotional significance. Early and their partner had been working at a rural farm in Central New York, living in a small campervan nestled in a valley between two long ridges, with flowing creeks and rocky waterfalls, surrounded by hemlock and maple trees. Unexpectedly they were evicted from this place of vast natural wonder and their lives were hastily upturned. Unable t…
BERG (Music For A Film By Joke Olthaar)
*2023 stock. In process of stocking* This isn’t a regular ‘original film score’ album. After working on the sound design and music for Joke Olthaar’s slow-paced BERG film, Hugo Dijkstal and Rutger Zuydervelt (aka Machinefabriek) decided to re-arrange the sound into one long 30-minute piece. In the film, Hugo’s auditory magic is blended with Rutger’s minimalist drones to create an immersive bed for director Joke Olthaar and cinematographer André Scheuder’s striking black and white footage of the …
Our Arms Grew Together (Music For A Performance By Marta & Kim)
*2023 stock. In process of stocking* After 'As Much As It Is Worth' and 'Engel', Marta & Kim asked me to compose the music for yet another dance/circus performance, 'Our Arms Grew Together'. This release presents an edited version of that score, tailored to the album format.
The starting point of the 'Our Arms…' soundtrack was a series of home recordings that Marta and Kim made on my request. As the performance deals with their (romantic) relationship, it made sense to incorporate their daily li…
