In Darkness Let Me Dwell
"It’s a lovely album, best played at the end of the day; the lights are still out when the day turns into evening, and darkness slowly falls". - Vital Weekly
Raspad
*50 hand-numbered copies* Raspad is the debut cassette by Lisa Viktorova (wjerstean), an artist living in Armenia since 2022. Darkly unsettling yet profoundly intimate, this album resists easy genre definitions. Born out of a time of legal persecution, it weaves together reflections on a tangled reality shaped by ongoing war and an elusive, uncertain future. Through her project, Lisa explores the interplay between the explicit and the hidden, between words and phonemes, between sound and speech.…
Postales
*110 copies limited edition* "For this new record I've been inspired by some of the most breathtaking landscapes in Spain. These are 11 tracks where, like musical postcards, I've tried to reflect the beauty of the Irati Forest in Navarra, the Flysh of Zumaia in Gipuzkoa, the Albufera of Valencia, the Gorafe desert in Granada or the Somiedo natural park in Asturias, among other amazing places." - David Cordero
Samba Esquema Novo
Back in print ! First released in 1963 on Phillips Records, this was Jorge Ben's debut album. "Samba Esquema Novo", which translates to 'New Style Samba' deliberately sets a new standard in Brazilian music. A beautiful, fresh and vital combination of Ben's percussive guitar and smooth/rough voice backed by Big Band style horns, percussion (the great Dom Um Romao) and strings. In 2007, it was listed by Rolling Stone Brazil as one of the 100 best Brazilian albums in history, but It would be enough…
Metamusik Festival Berlin ‘74

Born to a musician family in Hoshiarpur in the northwestern state of Punjab, Khan moved with his family to Lahore in Pakistan after the 1947 partition of India, becoming a child musical prodigy.

Binus
In a collaboration lasting several days in Novi Sad, Belorukov & Zlanabitnig explored the acoustic and electronic sound combinations of their instruments as well as ambiental sounds and field recordings in the immediate surroundings of the city. This was not just a direct musical collaboration.

Ganglions
Tip! *2025 stock* "On Ganglions, Badrutt sculpts sinusoidal sounds, internal and external feedback as well as voice inputs and other sources into two pieces of otherworldly music. The release takes the listener into the realm of an arthropod central nervous system and its nerve cells processing tactile and visual information (Supraesophageal). The B-Side – Suboesophageal – showcases a more primitive, destructive approach that could well be aligned with a nerve cluster that processes environmenta…
Nyctalopia
The trio Gaudenz Badrutt (electronics), Jean-Luc Guionnet (alto saxophone) and Frantz Loriot (viola) met for the first time at the Biel/Bienne-based “Joyful Noise” encounters in December 2018. Very quickly, the three agreed on a formal and sonic understanding, giving the trio a distinctive sound, combining and interweaving different sonic aesthetics, from electroacoustic to acoustic improvised music.
In February 2020, the trio continued its musical journey for a residency at Instants Chavirés i…
Sauerkraut
*2025 stock* In 2013, the collaboration of electronic musician Gaudenz Badrutt and saxophonist Ilia Belorukov began in a trio with accordionist Jonas Kocher, and in 2014 the album Rotonda was released on Intonema. Since then, time has passed, Badrutt and Belorukov have toured also as a duo, Belorukov later switching to a modular synthesizer.
In March 2019 in Biel/Bienne, the duo fruitfully worked in a new context, looking for fresh ways to interact, not only with each other, but also between ele…
Štiri Dela
*2025 stock* "The CD surprised me because it could be listened to with many ears. At first I felt I could not separate it from contemporary composed music, soon after that I could still place it in the context of contemporary improvised music, and finally the fantasticness of a journey that takes the best both worlds have to offer revealed itself to me. Much of the merit can be attributed to the sensible arrangement of the four movements, which, despite being at least superficially similar proce…
Orchadia
Ambient explorers SWIMS unpeel another heady debut, with the maiden effort by Korean artist Soo Kyung Kim, also known as soo:k. The curtain raises on Orchadia with an elysian glow: electro-acoustic compositions painting a golden topography of impossible fruit and uncanny astronomy. soo:k's utopic brushwork finds obvious comparisons in the work of Hiroshi Yoshimura, and his meditations on the glacial pace of hidden, verdant spaces. Frida Kahlo's portraits of everyday life, intertwined with pain a…
Zonal Disturbances II
Following Dirk Serries’ recent albums the composer continues to explore different sonic terrain. Still on the electric guitar with a motherboard of analog pedals, the 4 tracks on Zonal Disturbances II start to give signs of a new signature style of ambience Dirk is constructing. Organic, brooding and eerie. All recorded live on the spot creating music that still showcases the artist’s fondness for minimalism and slow repetitive clusters of sound while tying connections with his roots in industri…
Acusmatica (Book)
*OBS!!! book in Italian language* In questo approfondito lavoro, l’Autore, da lungo tempo attivo sulla scena della ricerca musicale, ripercorre gli sviluppi delle sperimentazioni fonografiche e l’esperienza dei “padri fondatori” della Musica Concreta e della Musica Elettronica – da Pierre Schaeffer e Pierre Henry a Karlheinz Stockhausen e Iannis Xenakis – fino alle tendenze attuali, per la definizione di una nuova arte sonora: l’Acusmatica.
Sediment
Sediment is an assemblage of field recordings made in the Swiss canton of Jura on a single day in August 2022. Jura's rock and limestone formations create a complex topology which hosts a diversity of sound spaces; human, more-than-human, geophonic, subterranean and extra-terrestrial. By walking and driving through this landscape curious pockets of activity are revealed to the listener. The layers of strata that make up Jura; earth, rock, forest, cables, pipes, factories, planes and radio towers…
The Mute Fortress
*200 copies limited edition* Francisco Meirino's The Mute Fortress plays with the time and space of its sound materials.
He expands, unfolds and unwinds the ghostly voices that circulate in a jigsaw puzzle of sequences that the mind assembles as it sees fit.
