Ocarina Solo
Stefano Portello is an artist who works with music and ceramics. For years, Stefano has been shaping ceramics to give shape to small ocarinas that he builds and plays himself. Each ocarina is born as a unique piece, becoming a perfectly functioning musical instrument. Its shapes are essential and inspired by nature. The melodies he plays are simple, repetitive, almost hypnotic. They do not seek virtuosity, but evoke a sense of calm and a return to the essential. Stefano Portello's work is an inv…

Rosa di Luce
When you’re immersed into something you never actually realize if the essence will project as bright as the efforts, as deep as the process and as loud as the intentions. WOW, the Roma Est duo of China and Leo Non, have never had to create magic or delve into mystique along their meandering path, it’s just been a long solemn wait for what life throws at them and actually sticks. Cause and reaction, because the essence is quietly there when the clamour fades away. Their new album ‘Rosa di Luce’ i…

Hrafnamynd
Balmat 17 marks both a return and a new frontier. It is the second album on the label from Patricia Wolf, whose 2022 album See-Through is one of the most beloved in Balmat's catalog; it also marks the first time that Wolf has turned her hand to a film soundtrack. The results are every bit as magical as fans of the Portland, Oregon, composer's music might expect. Hrafnamynd--Icelandic for "raven film"--is a new feature-length documentary by experimental filmmaker Edward Pack Davee. Shot on a mix …
Fried Brains
"The trio Rapid Zen creates a dynamic blend of really unique music by fusing rhythmic patterns with audio experiments. They achieve this by combining a layer of turntable sampling and scratching that provides a distinctive and varied sound interacting with a broad palette of different techniques on double bass, percussion, and voice. Fried Brains is the first release of the project." - Vito Camarretta
''Don’t hold your breath in anticipation of instant karma or rapid enlightenment, but with such…
Edge Runner - Noema
Giovanni Di Domenico as a master of his instruments produces bulky sound rugged and dark atmospheres but also plainly beautiful through stark contrasts. Improvisation is therefore more as a state than an outline or shape, the timbre is the actual carrier of the form, drone is the crucial element. Edge Runner is sophisticated, refined even, balanced despite its obvious unwillingness to compromise, carefully crafted regardless of the mad surface structure. Noema consists of a live recording of an …
felix culpa
According to legend, Orpheus was the son of Apollo, the Greek god of music. His father gave him a lyre and, from an early age, Orpheus played so well that he surpassed even his father's skill. It is said that when he played, the objects around him came to life, so enchanting was his music. Orfeu is the Portuguese translation of ‘Orpheus’, and is above all the intimate project of Alexandre Casato, who has been developing it in secret in his bedroom for several years... Alex is the guitarist behin…
lésion étrange
Lesion Etrange is a guitar-drum duo from Lyon (France). Alex (Tombouctou, Schleu, Torticoli...) is a master of the guitar, capable of taking you into a torrent of sounds with a venomous distortion and an aura of the East Coast of the USA. He's a sucker for the sound of Arab On Radar and Hammer Party, and an admirer of Shield Your Eyes' or Us Maple's incredible telepathic sense in concert... His sidekick on drums is Jo (Schleu, Neige Morte...), who is also a sound avalanche catalyst. As straight …

Insolence

Rammed Earth
A delirious plunge into absurdist tape collages and haunted electronics, this long-buried artifact resurfaces with eerie timeliness—a disorienting mix of degraded loops, dark humor, and fractured noise. A grotesque masterpiece of West Coast sonic dadaism.
Rules For Living
CD3 transform familiar sounds into primordial folk art with Rules For Living. The duo's melted reconfiguration of popular styles creates mysteriously ahistorical music - ancient yet pertinent, stripped to skeletal essence.
An Aesthetic - Experiments In Tape
Lunar Module are thrilled to announce the release of a new Hawksmoor album from Bristolian musician James McKeown, 'An Aesthetic' – Experiments In Tape. 'An Aesthetic' is a testament to McKeown's dedication to exploring the boundaries of sound. By layering the wow, flutter and warble of tape artifacts, he crafts a sonic landscape that echoes the ethereal hiss and mist drenched ‘rural psychedelia’ of Bristol's own Flying Saucer Attack, as well as the early hauntological, experimental landscapes o…
Pro Fake No Reject
An ace technician who studied at the New England Conservatory, Erez Dessel is in no way conservative. Indeed, his bracing approach to the keyboard and deeply intuitive sense of form can be explosive, uncorked energy summoning references to Cecil Taylor and the Don Pullen/Milford Graves duets, and an almost Russian Romantic darkness – imagine an improvised Mussorgsky – offset by keen emotional intelligence, with joyful melodicism and an airborne quality. And nestled within Dessel's playing there'…
