Uni-O-Mythica
*50 copies limited edition* "This is music from the mythical dreamland, where the stories from another realms are living their reality like they have always lived, freely in an endless space. These stories, colours, sounds and visions are connected to our DNA, to our soul and memory. It´s the area where we are all connected, in a spiritual union with this multidimensional existence, which we project daily to our everyday world". Most of the sounds on this album were made with Korg Minilogue XD s…

Tip! *2023 stock. 100 copies limited edition* Euphotic brings together three seasoned sonic experimenters, each with a unique approach – put in simple terms – natural, physical, and imaginary. Natural - bones, driftwood, stones, sand, wind and water; physical - gravity, friction, resonance, kinetic forces; imaginary - technological circuitry making hitherto imaginary sounds real via plotted electricity.

Unlimited Dream Company
Unlimited Dream Company is the latest barrage of rhythmic industrial noise from Iker Ormazabal Martinez. The release is 40 minutes of tense sleep paralysis in which piledriver basses, blown out kicks, slicing synths and growls of feedback straddle sub pressure drones. IOM’s voice is minced by this machine churn: the infernal drill master swallowed up and regurgitated by his nightmares in a fugue of recoiling anguish. Bringing to mind the great Esplendor Gemoterico, IOM channels a torrent of frus…
Hand / Fist
Noise Against Fascism flexes their tendons, clenches their fist and pulls back from the brink to deliver a blistering cacophony of harsh electronics for a new release on Brachliegen. Hand/Fist is aural struggle against a feeling of contemporary socio-political melancholia, manifest in two differing approaches to confrontational noise and bludgeoning tone. In the wake of a relentless decimation of social communality, Mathias Kristersson cites the importance of art and utopian ideals for both the …
Break Down
Brachliegen are proud to present Break Down, the first release from Sakostamu, the collaborative project of Vasilis Sakkos (Casual Nun) and Tasos Stamou. The pair layer chanting vocal groans, wandering bells, weaving drones and haunting plucked strings through a four track tape recorder; this ritualised process builds a rich textual palette, burrowing deep to create a den of sonic transcendence, a place where shared cultural histories and individual wounds are broken down and confronted. A work …
pearly
Pearly is a fizzing, hallucinatory noise release from Tom Betteridge, consisting of two oleaginous sound poems, entirely improvised with minimal stitching and post-processing. Phantasmatic vocal improvisations are mulched into something oblique to speech, becoming sharded utterances part-lost in swathes of noise. Working with cassette tape recorders & close miking techniques, Betteridge upends the standard listening hierarchy of aural objects; tipping the scales, the human voice brushes against …
Seismograf
*150 copies limited edition* In line with his recent body of work, Uwe Zahn bundled minimal compositions telling narratives situating in the melodic realm of ambient music. On first sight, it seems common that one can enter or construct such stories through the melodies these compositions offer. However, melodies never stand on their own – maybe only theoretically – but in fact truly reveal their magic through the sonical context they’re embedded in. To Zahn, a crucial part of his practice is al…
Tabulatura (Volume 2)
