Two pieces with music by Ryoji Ikeda and voice and words by Michèle Lamy: Echoes of Rights, recorded in Los Angeles in 2022, and Echoes of Nights, recorded in London in 2026. Red vinyl, 500 copies.

The closing chapter of Fred Warmsley's Ded trilogy: ten tracks between ambient, drone and noise, with Ryuichi Sakamoto as guest producer. Hand-numbered edition of 500 on 180 gram vinyl, co-released with Ojas Music.

Three string works written between 2020 and 2023, performed by Ensemble Modern: a nonet locked in seven-eight, a piece that splits sound the way a prism splits light, and a score written in mirror notation. Ikeda's electronic precision, played on bowed strings.

Ten tones for ten bodies in orbit. Nothing else. The Solar System is one of Ryoji Ikeda's most reduced objects, a 12" containing ten locked grooves, each cut with a single sine wave at a frequency assigned to a different planet. Where Code Name: A-Z took language as its source, this record takes celestial mechanics, and pares it down to the purest signal available. It was produced by The Vinyl Factory in 2015 for the UK premiere of supersymmetry, Ikeda's large-scale installation shown at the Bre…

**Clear vinyl, 26 locked grooves, edition of 500 - 2026 repress** An alphabet reduced to its bones. Twenty-six words, twenty-six frequencies, twenty-six grooves that never end. Code Name: A-Z is Ryoji Ikeda at his most austere and his most physical, a record that treats the vinyl disc not as a carrier of music but as an instrument in its own right. Ikeda's position in the landscape of experimental sound needs little rehearsal. A founding presence in the Kyoto collective Dumb Type and one of the …

On Elyria Sound, Michael A. Muller reduces his language to one guitar, one room, one storm‑lit reel of tape, turning newly invented tunings into a hushed cycle of lullabies and laments that hold both the comfort of home and the certainty of its passing.

Published by 180 Studios in 2025, this limited edition booklet accompanies data-cosm [n°1], the monumental new installation commissioned and produced by 180 Studios as part of their long-running creative partnership with Ryoji Ikeda - a collaboration that has spent more than a decade pushing at the boundaries of sound, light, and human perception.

In his absorbing short films, Kahlil Joseph (b. 1981) conjures the lush and impressionistic quality of dreams with particular reverence for quotidian moments and intimate scenes. Fly Paper (2017) is a film that departs from Joseph’s admiration of the work of Roy DeCarava (1919 –2009), a photographer and artist known for his images of celebrated jazz musicians and everyday life in Harlem. Joseph’s film also touches on themes of filiation, influence, and legacy, marking a personal reckoning that i…
