Live at the Grange Hall [unauthorized]
Tip! The difficult to classify musical practice of Don Brown & Dan Reynolds is presented here in this unauthorized 2008 live recording of an 8 piece ensemble realizing 4 different compositions at a Grange Hall in Gresham, Oregon. An outstanding group of musicians/others, who were very active in the Portland region during the time and receptive to the ideas of Brown and Reynolds, assembled to record these 4 works which were composed decades apart. An essential piece of the Brown/Reynolds/Old/Holy…
The Overture To Life
New album by swedish composer Lars Boutrup!
Khandroma
Marking the launch of Ubi Kū - a brand-new imprint exploring the links between Buddhism, spirituality, and contemporary creation - Soundwalk Collective returns with “Khandroma”, the latest in their longstanding series of collaborations with Patti Smith. Rooted in extensive research and field recordings made across Upper Mustang (formerly Kingdom of Lo), in Nepal, during 2016, this absolute stunner weaves transcendent and immersive sonic tapestries that radically rethink the terms and possibiliti…
Música del Desierto
Música del Desierto was commissioned by Desert Museum of Coahuila to mexican artist Antonio Russek.
Sculptures From Under the City Ice
Tip! “Sculptures From Under the City Ice is a sort of longing, I think,” Christian Winther says of his third full-length solo record. This statement is cryptic but somehow poignant, poetic, and also a little weird. And so is Sculptures From Under the City Ice. Winther is a highly sought after guitarist and tireless collaborator in the Norwegian avant garde scene. His previous solo release was awarded album of the year by Klassekampen in Norway. He has toured extensively throughout Europe, Japan,…
Instrumental Ensemble - Soundtrack For Imaginary Movie Vol. 1
C'mon Tigre announces their new instrumental project, Instrumental Ensemble - Soundtrack for Imaginary Movie Vol 1. This album offers an alternate view of cinematic music: a soundtrack composed for a fictional film using a challenging and inventive method. This project investigates an alternative approach in which music shapes and guides visual storytelling. It's the first in a series of albums dedicated to as-yet-unmade films, enabling listeners to explore music as a key component in cinematic n…
Phase Murmur
Over top of Gillespie's nimble, pointillist drumming (he also plays piano and harpsichord), Hunerberg employs flute, organ, bass and balloon (that's not a saxophone on "Cucumber"). The disorienting opener "Cro Magnon/Two" recalls Kraftwerk precursor the Organisation, or contemporaries like Faust. There's a strange, disconsolate atmosphere to the proceedings, almost as if the air had been sucked out of a recording session booked for some avant-garde jazz heavies. Instead of Impulse, Phase Murmur …
Golden Showers / Catastrophe of the Infinite Regress
Crazy 7" by NYC's freaks Peeesseye! On Evolving Ear.
Fighting False God
Of Tanz Victims formed in the early 80s when industrial music was taking off in parts of North America. What started things off for OTV was a 7″ vinyl of gritty, looped and guitar-laden industrial that felt fresh and alive, with the name Fighting False God. On the 30 year anniversary of its first issue, Artoffact Records will release a remastered and redesigned edition of this Canadian classic.

Certain Materials
Debut release from this Australian modern primitive duo. With lyrics cut from dated astronomy texts & ping pong vocal rounds soaked in reverb, Primitive Motion create their own brand of spontaneous, steam-powered electronic pop. Their moves recall Joe Jones’ readymades, Joe Meek's I Hear a New World & the minimalism of The Door and Window, as preset keyboard, voices and cosmic flute intersect with machine / human beat systems across the four songs on Certain Materials. Primitive Motion is Leight…
Untitled
Seven inch split between Fugu & The Cosmic Mumu and Death Sentence: Panda!
Unremembered
*2024 stock* A meditation on memory, innocence, and the haunted grandeur of the natural world, Unremembered recalls strange and beautiful happenings experienced during a childhood in rural Massachusetts: a houseguest takes sudden leave in the middle of the night; a boy makes a shocking discovery on a riverbank; a girl disappears in woods behind a ranging farm; ghosts appear with messages for the living. Through Bellows's moving words and images and Snider's vivid, fraught, astonishing score, the…

Los Angeles resident John Wiese is a member of LHD and Sissy Spacek, and both have been freelance members of drone metal unit Sunn O))).

subject:empty
Debut release of destroyed industrial hip hop. In Spite of Dreams is music for subjective realities. In Spite of Dreams is Gerritt Wittmer. Limited edition CD packaged in Digipak.
Eel Asp Flaps Feet
Fifty years after I first encountered the music of Orchid Spangiafora, it is a pleasure to be  listening to new work by this most bonny of modern sound manipulators.  Like Flee Pasts Ape Elf (FTR 096), which we reissued in expanded form in 2013, Eel Asp Flays Feet (the title of which is an anagram of the earlier set) is an assemblage of immaculate invention. It manages to produce a unique splotch of confusing analog surrealism in an increasingly digital world, and Robert Carey (aka Orchid himsel…
N​​​å​​​r Man Ser Inn I En Annens Hjerte
Tip! Nærværet is a Scandinavian collaboration by Mattias Gustafsson (Altar of Flies) and Andreas Barsleth (Jordmenneske). If you are familiar with their individual works, you’ll know they operate on the same wavelength. On ’Når Man Ser Inn I En Annens Hjerte’, they’ve created something truly beautiful: serene landscapes of tangible presence. Comforting sounds, gathered from rural surroundings blend seamlessly with restrained, still instrumentation. These elements are manipulated with tapes and l…
How to Rescue Things
Restock due on February "Charlie Parker's first album with a string section landed in 1950, ten years after his debut recordings. Although the overtly lush arrangements of Charlie Parker with Strings were Parker's idea, the record must've been something of a relief to producer Norman Granz, especially when the sides went on to become Bird's best-seller, by a long shot. The record (and its follow-up) sparked something of a jazz-strings virus, infecting Nina Simone, Paul Desmond, Clifford Brown, a…
Circles Of Song
For two hours, the public and passersby are invited to freely join the singing improvisations directed by three choir leaders: Liévine Hubert, Tom Mannaerts and Baptiste Vaes.In this moment of collective singing, people who do not know each other will share the same tune, creating spontaneous complicity through rehearsals. Circles of Songs is a performance by Raffaella Crispino, commissioned by BOZAR Center for Fine Arts Brussels, performed on the 21st of December 2022, as part of Rebirth/Third …
