Quelques idées d'un vert incolore dorment furieusement
For more than fifteen years, Toc – the Lille-based trio of Jérémie Ternoy (Fender Rhodes, Piano Bass), Ivann Cruz (guitar) and Peter Orins (drums) – has been pursuing a singular sonic quest where the energies of experimental rock, the unpredictability of improvised music, and a constant drive toward excess converge. On stage as on record, Toc invents a telluric and ever-shifting music, built from flows, ruptures, and accumulations, where hypnosis and chaos feed off one another.

Learning
‘Learning’ - Sophie Agnel’s first solo LP, feels like the dark, physical inversion of her excellent ‘Song’ which came out on Relative Pitch earlier this year. Sinking her unique sound into vinyl for the first time, the LP arrives as Agnel recovers from a brain tumour - a shocking discovery that will require Agnel to start again with the piano. It’s a terrifying prospect, but Agnel has been here before, having reorientated herself almost entirely away from her early classical training over the la…
Traveling Light
From out of the dark, the crackle of feed back birdsong signals a return to the land of sound environments exclusive to the music of Rafael Toral. A year and a half after his epochal electric guitar album, Spectral Evolution, Traveling Light finds him sharpening his focus, moving boldly from abstract forms to concrete compositions in the form of a set of jazz standards. Based on Toral’s discography, this may seem an unlikely endeavor, but happily, Traveling Light transpires to be one of the majo…
Àlbum
Urpa i musell feel very fortunate to announce the reissue of Àlbum by Joan Saura (1954-2012), originally released on compact disc by Nova Era – Música Secreta in 1998.
Kōri no ryokō / Jäämatkailu
Water can retain or wash away memory; flowing or freezing. It gives life and shapes earth, while frozen imprints of an ancient past are waiting to melt – back into sound or fluid motion, or simply to dissipate and disappear. For their split release, Yoichi Kamimura and Olli Aarni offer two distinct reinterpretations of a performance recorded live at the Temppeliaukio Kirkko – a church in Helsinki built directly into solid rock and bathed in natural light – meditating on glacial landscapes and wa…
Two Lonely Space Pilots
There's a moment, early in Two Lonely Space Pilots, when time seems to stop. Not pause - stop. The saxophone sustains a note that hovers somewhere between breath and pure tone, while scattered percussion marks territory in the emptiness like footprints on an unexplored planet. This isn't background music. This is Hekura - a Barcelona-based duo who've spent years learning how to make silence speak and stillness move. Ernest Pipó and Edu Pons met during their jazz studies at Taller de Músics in Ba…
One Another
“The body’s relation to the social is inseparable from, and of the same relation to the world, not a relation of objectification but a carnal intertwining prior to any reflective judgement.” -Rosalyn Diprose
Conversation No. 1 / Collecting Rocks From The Places We've Been
Conversation No. 1/ Collecting Rocks from the Places We’ve Been is a solo for bass clarinet which can be performed as a duo, trio, or maybe someday with many, many bass clarinets, or in collaboration with other artists. Katie Porter is interested in creating systems of music that she can exist in together, for herself and others, music that collapses and expands on itself, where we are free to choose the phrases, iterations, and lean into the occurrences of overlapping tones, vibrations, multi-…
Putting A Hand On The World
"In late 2022 I became a father and lost my own father in quick succession. This music represents a conversation between my selves who met at that nexus of birth and death, sharing what they felt about the past, the present, and the future. The pieces are very intentionally set in different seasons and sonic environments so as to welcome the listener to this metaphysical meeting point for musical ideas and emotions."
Replace The Population
"I had the privilege of meeting Wadada Leo Smith after a show, ‘Everyone thinks the trumpet is made out of brass — it’s really made out of air.' This recording is my exploration of that concept."
Open Space
I recorded Open Space with in a single continuous take: my cello, an amp, and a distortion pedal. I was watching a film that was a static shot across a very large canyon, the light slowly shifting. I hope it offers the listener room to breathe and dream.
See You When I Get There
See You When I Get There is Amy Cimini’s first solo viola album. While playing in noise bands and experimental projects for over 25 years, she has developed a sonic palette for the amplified viola that combines overtone-rich distortion with percussive techniques nestled in reverb and delay effects meant to fill large acoustical spaces. Overall, this record embraces noise abstraction as much as a tuneful directness, that evokes Cimini’s fellow experimental string players, historical protest musi…
Against Proper Objects
On their debut release, Foster shifts fluidly between tongue slaps, overblown tones, and powerful tenor saxophone screams, while Crawford alternates between non-idiomatic splatter, frenzied banjo maneuvers, and dense, elusive bursts of tangled noise. Meanwhile, Sullivan crafts a metallic clatter that establishes its own expansive sonic territory.
String Figures, Serenade (2LP Bundle)
** Special bundle, Black Vinyl ** For the first time, Elevator Bath presents two complementary masterworks of contemporary sound art in an exclusive bundle offer. Felicity Mangan's debut vinyl String Figures and label founder Colin Andrew Sheffield's latest opus Serenade represent the full spectrum of electroacoustic innovation—from quasi-bioacoustic environmental hybrids to plunderphonic archaeological excavations.
While Mangan maps the liminal frequencies where wetland ecosystems meet electrom…

*22 copies limited edition* To paraphrase Éliane Radigue's famous double 7" record, the two discs you hold in your hands are designed to be listened to either separately or simultaneously, synchronously or asynchronously. Similarly, the sides of these two discs can be played at any speed and in either direction. It is also permissible to scratch the record, block the arm to form a loop, intervene freely... The only limit is that set by your turntable.
For those who enjoy listening to music diff…
Landscape Music 5
*2025 stock. 200 copies limited edition* And the cloud passes overhead. A drone crosses, reminding us of the whole summer outside. You just have to look up. Over the wall, can’t you see the courtyard and the hill covered with pines, at the base of which lie ancient barns that have better withstood the test of time than the castle. The fountain’s jet still makes its noise in the basin, under the gray stone watchtower. From here, the path always leads to Grand’rive under the damp cover of the beec…
Tristesse Apotropaïque
*17 copies limited edition* Tristesse Apotropaïque is the mesmerizing new sonic statement from the trio Apparet! (Jeanne Gorisse / Julien Goussina / Marina Levallois), released via the adventurous nanopublisher MMLI. Recorded live in Lorfou just before the winter solstice, this unique project brings together Gorisse’s double bass, Goussina’s piano, and Levallois’ imaginative synthesizer and effects setup, born from a spontaneous, joyful musical encounter that channels playful experimentation and…
Immersion Libre
*97 copies limited edition* Free immersion is a practice that consists of freediving as low as possible and then climbing back up by gripping the rope that serves as a guide. No help, no artifice, everything happens with the strength of the arms. The fall into the depths is dizzying and the feeling of freedom, total.
4+1 pieces of double bass played with a bow, without artifice, recorded almost in one go. This record is deliberately abrasive without being aggressive, and reserves surprises of so…

Lore
*2025 stock. 43 copies limited edition* MMLI proudly presents Lore, the latest sonic offering from Cigve, an artist whose work folds shadowed textures, forgotten myths, and fractured harmonies into an immersive listening experience.
Both austere and deeply emotive, Lore moves between spectral ambience, brittle dissonance, and moments of fragile melodic clarity. The work feels as though it has been unearthed from an ancient archive, where memory and invention blur. Each track evokes the sensati…
