Additive Inverse
* Stunning collaborative work of field recordings and electronics by Jos Smolders and Jim O'Rourke * What if sounds were to fold in on themselves? Quite quickly after being 'born', even. Only to be released back into the 'normal' world of linear proj…
Orphax Reworked (4CD Box)
Four-CD box collecting reworks of Orphax's 44 Sketches of 44 Seconds, in which Sietse van Erve handed forty-four short source sounds to friends with an open brief to take them outside their usual practice. The contributing artists - TVO/Ruaridh Law, …
Field Reports
First collaborative album by Philipp Bückle and Martijn Pieck (Cinema Perdu), grown out of their shared track for the Moving Music compilation. The vocabulary fuses field recordings with heavily treated modular synthesis to construct what the artists…
Rat Licker (7")
*300 copies * 2020 has been one of the worst years in recent history: a global pandemic with deadly outcomes, hateful police brutality leading to cold-blooded murder of countless black people and a wack conspiracy theory about a satanic, pederast net…
48 Hours
Third release in the MFR Contemporary Series. The Vonnegut Collective combines a recording of Thomas Adès's Piano Quintet (2000) - a dense, time-warping work requiring forty-eight hours of rehearsal - with a new commissioned piece by Tullis Rennie bu…
Choosing Freedom
Second solo album by Gagi Petrovic, mastered by Jos Smolders. The pieces are performed on GEST, an instrument Petrovic designed himself with STEIM: a light-sensor interface that translates hand gestures breaking light beams into commands for a granul…
Recalcitrance
Philosopher of science Isabelle Stengers has studied the operations of states and their mobilization of technical practices to serve a presupposed general interest, which involves the production of rules and norms. Such rules and norms are blind to f…
Vauville
Debut album by the young Belgian composer Ryan Van Haesendonck, mastered by Stephan Mathieu. The pieces grew from a week spent on the quiet beaches of Normandy, then continued in Brussels after his move from Antwerp. The vocabulary combines field rec…
Soleils Noirs
First in a series of collaborations between artists already on the label. Bruno Duplant on church organ, Alfredo Costa Monteiro on synthesizer, composing remotely a single long-form piece. The vocabulary moves between mass, flow and slow combustion: …

* Edition of 200 * With his new album “Continue” Richard Chartier presents four minimalist compositions with a focus on deep drones and apparent silences. The music is subtle, delicate and at moments fragile. Full, with details, like delicate pattern…
Foliage
Foliage is a long-form graphic music score by Elliott Sharp, consisting of eighty risograph prints offered as abstract instructions open to any number of realisations by any instrumentalist or ensemble. Sharp works in the lineage of post-1945 graphic…
Worn Tape
Imanishi's first album for the label, presenting eleven miniatures built from small sounds drawn from his immediate environment: paper, objects, radio, field recording, microphone. The work is abstract in vocabulary but warm and slow in effect, a del…
Paranon
Two compositions built on what van den Broek terms parameter canons of sine wave generators. The canon, classically a counterpoint device producing imitations of a line after a temporal offset, is here transposed onto pure electronic material: custom…
Dedans / Dehors
An exercise in musique concrète in the Luc Ferrari sense: not soundscape, not reportage, but the deliberate assemblage by montage and superposition of recorded sequences drawn from disparate origins, composed into a continuity that functions as sonic…
Paintings
Final work in a trilogy (Sketches, Drawings, Paintings) marking Philipp Bückle's return to music after closing his Teamforest project. Recorded in 2014 across Copenhagen and Dortmund, the album combines a visually organic sensibility with experimenta…
Nobody Ever Escaped From There
Follow-up to There Was Hardly Anybody There (Spina!Rec, 2016). Belorukov moves once again away from improvised saxophone toward electroacoustic studio composition. A central role is taken by Boris Shershenkov's reconstruction of the Variophone, a 193…
Moving Music - Sounds From the Rocking Chair
Compilation that grew out of the label's December 2019 crowdfunding campaign. Twenty-four musicians contributed across sixteen tracks, mixing solo pieces with ten new collaborations (TVO & Jos Smolders, Radboud Mens & BJ Nilsen, Kouw & Petrovic, and …
Ridge Of Humming Spoils
Final volume of Haarvöl's trilogy. After the noisy beginning of Bombinate and the move toward the periphery of Peripherad Debris, the trio arrives at the frontier as a psychoanalytic empty signifier: an edge that holds both interior and exterior. The…
Various Weights
First collaboration between Frans de Waard and Martijn Comes, deliberately built without an underlying concept. Each artist supplied the other with a pool of source sounds: de Waard sent Comes Korg MS20 and Koma Field FX recordings and field material…
