Start Merge Fade
* Edition of 200 hand-numbered copies * First material from Adrian Corker since 2013's 'Raise' album. This debut release on SN Variations is an experimental piece (Start Merge Fade) for cello, hammer dulcimer, tape and moog. Driven by evolving drones that emerge you in a trippy hypnotic state, the track slowly opens up into a cascade of harmonics, sound and noise.
Flip this over for two remixes of album cuts via Circle Traps and Richard Skelton. The remix of 'Changed' is a melodic and deep techn…
Balloon
* Edition of 250 on transparent red vinyl * Balloon was originally commissioned by the London Sinfonietta as an acoustic piece, and first performed at the Southbank centre’s Sound Unbound festival in 2019.
“This is an arrangement for synthesisers of many tunings. I called it Balloon because I had this image of thrashing a balloon with a baseball bat or something, rather than breaking or bursting it just sort of floats off - unhurt, even if you absolutely pelted it.”
Slide “ is old and one of my …

Cloaked Travels
Following her debut LP (kraak, 2018) and a string of tapes and 7-inches, Red Brut drops her second album, Cloaked Travels. It is a joined release by the Finnish labels Ikuisuus and Lal Lal Lal. In many aspects, Cloaked Travels is an amazing realisation of what Red Brut does best: molding the absurd, the amateurish, and the crude into beautiful and elegant sound pieces. These eight “songs”, organised in two suites, dwell between abstract avant-garde and pop sensibility. Working with cassette tape…

Vulgar Displays Of Affection
A body of water, a tributary river pushing and struggling to activate one final act, gushing into an ocean of pureness. Every bank you hit is a misstep, vulnerability, acceptance, sexuality, control and punishment, a catastrophic station of the cross experience where the mesmerizing is allowed to seep in. This is Luke Mawdsley’s debut for Maple Death ‘Vulgar Displays Of Affection’, a cathartic meticulous journey brimmed with emotion and failure.
The journey started in Liverpool, Luke Mawdsley’s …

Sound Like ... Vienna
* Edition of 300 * Sound performances in public space – an urban soundtrack for Vienna. Julia Bünnagel creates concrete records from molds of sidewalks and street surfaces in Vienna’s urban space. The Cologne artist brings Viennese architecture to life in her DJ set (turntablism). The turntable’s needle reads the architectural texture. The cast surfaces of the streets that are inscribed on the records mix with the sounds of the city during the performances Sounds Like… Vienna. – flooding the squ…
Vent
In a rain forest of moments. the eye hears what the ear sees. through each moment of Karin Johansson’s and Finn Loxbo’s music runs the firm conviction that all points and layers of sound – in true democratic spirit, carry the same weight. Or lightness. as precise as scattered bird calls may be crucial to the totality and the outcome of the drama as a whole, as cautiously do they take care of the phrased line by being extremely exact with the gaps and the charged rest, where that very thing appea…
Kredsbevaegelsen
Kredsbevægelsen was an A/V installation based on a video projection of a feedback generated from a video camera filming it’s own projected output and feeding back the light information of the space in between camera and projection, returning output as input and retransmitting, producing a discontinuance of difference between action and effect.
Frequencies of coloured light are scaled down to audible spectrum and quantised into harmonics. All audio dynamics, variation in amplitude, phase, frequen…
Tapetopia 003: GDR Underground Tapes 1984 - 1989
* Edition of 500 * In the short but tumultuous life of the East Berlin Impro-Punk band Klick & Aus, they played an amalgamation of Proto-Punk and Post-Punk influenced by acts from both East and West including The Galloping Coroners, Captain Beefheart and Cabaret Voltaire. The Klick & Aus sound breathed restlessness and petulance, like a company of soldiers always simmering for battle, but refusing to march in step. During the Christmas season of the waning Orwellian year 1984 the band recorded t…
Telyn Rawn
Dating back to the 13th century in Wales, the Telyn Rawn is a nearly forgotten horsehair harp; UK improvising harpist Rhodri Davies researched the instrument and its unique sound, commissioning the construction of a harp on which he performs 18 improvisations of impressive technique and sonority, launching his new Amgen Records label with this album named for the instrument.
"A Telyn Rawn is a harp strung with horse hair and predates the appearance of the triple, lever and pedal harps. The earli…

Artifex as a project was born in December 2016 with the participation in the centenary of the Dadaist movement. This anachronistic duo represents a Totally out of time, fascinating, dreamy ratio between Osaka and Genoa.
Ouverture Fantastique is an unreal aural journey. A 5 acts ritual progressively bringing the listener away from the weight of ratio…
