The Mild Temper
On The Mild Temper, Kevin Drumm stretches his language of drones, electronics and micro‑acoustics across six hours, fashioning vast, slow‑shifting fields of frequency where restraint becomes a kind of pressure and detail blooms only if you stay. Mastered by Jim O'Rourke.
Methylmercure
One of the most important sound sources in history, a relic of a bygone era.

Fulgurite
*2026 stock* This album was recorded in Paris, late 2013, by four members of the Unmapped collective. Since the foundation of Unmapped in 2007, the collective was dedicated mostly to interaction between traditional instruments and computers.

In Fulgurite, the live computer side of Unmapped is represente…
Dendermonde
*2026 stock* Dendermonde represents an ambitious encounter between acoustic and electronic elements, mixed together in a unique and hybrid sound territory, oriented towards psychedelia and post- rock.

Gendyn Suite
*2026 stock* The pieces that make up this collection were composed with the Gendyn algorithm – GENerative DYNamics.

Sound is generated ex-nihilo – from nothing – through mathematical expressions that are characterized by initial conditions defined by the composer, setting in motion th…
Folklore Activist (Magazine)
Ben Edge’s paintings capture a unique vision of British calendar customs and folklore. Although we have seen a resurgence of interest in these matters of late, when he began painting folk traditions in the last decade, Ben was an anomaly by virtue of placing such subjects at the centre of his practice.

Hodori Rocks: Uncanny New Wave Sound From The 88 Olympic Land
The 1980s for Korea began with “Seúl, Corea,” and the promise of hosting the next Olympic Games brought a sense of hope even amid political instability. That optimism also spread to Korea’s arts and culture, including the gayo pop scene, which was recovering after the 1975 marijuana scandal and the restrictive “gayo purification movement.” A key symbol of renewal was Cho Yong-pil’s single “Short Hair” (단발머리), which felt like a sign that the 1970s were over—and that mood influenced Korean pop mus…
