Time Machines II
Tip! When Peter “Sleazy” Christopherson passed away in 2010, he left several projects in different stages of completion. In 2014, seven of these tracks were assembled by people close to him and released as Time Machines II on a limited deluxe memory stick. The edition sold out almost immediately and has since become a collector’s item.
Despite its title, Time Machines II is very different from Coil’s 1998 drone classic. More varied in sound, it recalls instrumental Coil works such as The Restitu…
Contrary Motion
Scanner reworks an hour of Nurse with Wound material into six pieces named after homeopathic remedies: radio static, processed voices and squeaky guitars in an echoing maze. Double vinyl, the fourth side etched by Babs Santini.
Dead Mind Records Bundle
A comprehensive survey of experimental sound practices across generations, geographies, and aesthetic approaches. This four-release bundle from Dead Mind Records presents vital documents of uncompromising artistic vision: from contemporary electronic collaboration to archival excavations of ambient and industrial histories.
Musica Divina is a collaborative sound art project formed by Haare and Vincent Dallas. Rooted in long-form improvisation and environmental textures, the duo created 2 immersi…
Minutiae
Minutiae is the first full-length release form Stockholm’s Ināra Quartet, made up of brothers Kasper (guitar, banjo, mandolin) and Mauritz Agnas (bass, cello), Johan Graden (piano, harmonium, synths) and Mischa Grind (percussion). Drawing on wide performance and composition experience in free improvisation, jazz, and composed new music, the quartet have carved out a unique niche where radical approaches to rhythmic organisation and group interaction are wedded to immediately accessible, folkish …
Sound City Joburg - South Africa's Township Soul 1969
It feels as if it were yesterday. In 2002, after returning to Frankfurt from a record-hunting trip to Johannesburg, I put one of my new South African discoveries on the turntable and jumped into the shower. Suddenly, the record player erupted into a terrible noise, as if someone were hammering the needle. I ran out, dripping wet, and discovered that the stylus had hit a deep cut carved into the vinyl. A Kenyan friend, Dan Ojwang, had sent me to a record shop opposite the Market Theatre in Newtow…

Σ [sigma]
'Σ [sigma]' is the new album by composer, saxophone player and improviser Antonio Raia. The first chapter of a trilogy dedicated to Berlin — where Raia spent several weeks recording alongside producer Francesco Donadello in different locations — 'Σ [sigma]' reflects on the relationship between body, space and sound, understood as a performative gesture closely linked to the space that hosts it.
Recorded inside the Wasserturm in Prenzlauer Berg—the oldest water tower in Berlin, built in 1877—'Σ …
Caperea
Two familiar faces within the Kohlhaas fold—Stefano Calderano as part of the trio McCorman (2023), and Giovanni Di Domenico through his solo works "Polvere di rabbia" (2021) and "Stella Maris" (2025)—join now forces on "Caperea". Bridging Rome and Brussels, where Calderano and Di Domenico are respectively based, the record marks the first collaborative LP by the two musicians. Born from a shared sensibility and a mutual curiosity for non-linear structures, what began as a brief two-day session o…
Volume 1
Weekend With Friends is a collective featuring Jacopo Buda (trumpet, electronics), Alberto Brutti (double bass, electronics), Mattia Bellei (clarinet, electronics), and Demetrio Cecchitelli (flute, guitar, electronics). At its core, the project thrives on organic improvisation and the fluid freedom to drift across diverse musical languages. The result is a captivating, symbiotic dialogue among the musicians—weaving a sonic narrative that is simultaneously cinematic and introspective, yet inheren…
Chance Meeting On a Dissecting Table of a Sewing Machine and an Umbrella

Prisoner's Cinema
Second duo LP by Sarah Hennies and Tristan Kasten-Krause: two sidelong pieces grown from a live work played in darkness, singing bowls, gongs and double bass drifting into waltz-like pulses and field recordings. Numbered edition of 200.
Bagelfårs
Second album by the Finnish free jazz quartet Fågelbörs: sax, trumpet, bass and drums in an Aylerian spiral of chaos and joy, with marching band reveries and slow blues dissolves. Limited edition of 200 LPs on Monk's Hood.
Symphony of Waste
What happens over the lifecycle of a commodity? Where do its components come from? How are they extracted, processed and put together? Where does it travel? How is it used, thrown away, re-used, broken apart and reconstituted? These are the questions at the heart of Rubbish Music’s Symphony of Waste. Over four years as Rubbish Music our practice has intervened in modest ways in the lives of discarded commodities. Packaging has lived on as instruments, tin cans have been re-purposed as tools for …
Spartiti Spariti
Tip! Spartiti Spariti is a composition in which diverse practices and experiences converge and overlap: the processing of ‘concrete’ sounds, magnetic-tape collage, field recording and the manipulation of acoustic instruments. At its core lies a profound investigation into the ecology of sound, understood not as mere phenomenological documentation but as a radical experience through which identity is rediscovered. The work’s genesis is deeply rooted in the composer’s biographical memory and in th…
