The Heaver
“I was going to be a neo-deconstructivist but mom wouldn't let me”. Writing about Grisha Shakhnes’s music is quite a difficult task. Grisha is involved with the independent music scene since 2008, at first under the name Mites and then with his real name. All these years, he is practicing on music composition, using mainly field recording, tapes and lo-fi electronics, keeping a beautiful balance between real time composition and experimentation. Grisha's sound work has a very personal character …

Awa (Expanded)
*150 copies limited edition* Satomimagae breathes new vitality into Awa, her beguiling debut album, revisited and expanded for its tenth anniversary. Originally recorded, mixed and mastered by Satomi between 2011 and 2012, Awa conveys the keen-eared, wide-eyed DIY approach to the songcraft that underpins Satomi’s signature combination of lyrical haze, acoustic guitar and environmental artifacts. More of a deep reverberation than a big bang, Awa is one of several origin stories within Satomi’s un…
Another Night In Peru
The first new album from Florida based audio composer Wave Temples in almost 6 years. A synthesized soundscape of distant waves and deep ocean trenches. Sounds that evoke tropical nights and distant sunrises, quietly portraying a horizon between the turquoise tones of the sea and the shimmering coral-red burning streaks of the sky.

Its Own Phantom
Tip! Edition of 100 copies, with risograph printed j card "Five years after the magnificent Valosta Valoon LP (FTR 331LP, 2017), Finnish multi-instrumentalist, Niko Karlsson is back with a new swab of sound that is even more organic than its predecessor. This time out the focus is more on acoustic strings and percussion, with a minimum of machine-driven sounds, even when things get cinematically tense (especially on the B-side). But the bulk of Niko's new tape (which he had first suggested be re…
Frog Bones & Noodles
Frog Bones is the original Frogman music that Dean sent to his mate, Supreme Vagabond Craftsman, over which to write a story over in 2015. It was predominantly composed with an EMS Synthi AKS and an Oberheim Two Voice synthesizer, plus some crunky Watkins Copicat tape echo. Much of it didn't make the final album cut. This version has been slightly edited down to a reasonable length.
Noodles is a selection of short jams and demo ideas that were/are to be the basis of a new solo project. But Dean …

Grillito
*100 copies limited edition. In porcess of stocking* Andean inspired home recordings from Tomás Tello - solo and with friends. ACA (roughly translated as right here) is a new project by Tomás Tello enabling him to collaborate with whoever crosses his paths creating a truly mystifying journey of highland mysticism crossed with late night bonfire jams, whichever way you look at it Tello keeps the South American experimentalism torch flying high above in the starry sky. Tomás had this to say about …
Sleep Patterns of The Discontent
*50 copies limited edition. In process of stocking* One can be a discontent – that is, an insurgent or a revolutionary – but there is also that more literal, personal meaning of the word which may be in most cases equally applicable to those to which we refer here and, in either case, there is a sort of disruption implicit, as in a hypnopompic state.» A non–linear mix by Michael Anderson / Drekka, with portrait interludes by Mark Trecka. Performed and mixed live 21 October 2015 at The Artifex Gu…

"Prairie spells, a ribbon wove" is the outcome of a long-distance collaboration. The four 11-minute tracks are a sonic document of the exploration and reconciliation of geographic disparity, the distance betwee…
The Descending Spirals of Time
*50 copies limited edition. In process of stocking* Florian-Ayala Fauna is a Buffalo, New York-based trans-femme, intersex interdisciplinary artist who knows something about productive darkness and antagonizing binaries, and who shies away from neither the sublime nor the terrifying. Her latest full-length is a sonically and emotionally deep exploration of magic and pain.

Songs of Reunion
*50 copies limited edition. In process of stocking* "Drekka’s contribution, "Songs of Reunion" is comprised of two 18-minute sound palindromes sourced from Anderson’s archive of ensemble recordings made in the early 2000s. Anderson says that these sound pieces are an expression of his “love for drone and gathering together players to meditate on one idea for extended durations of time.” These pieces are meditations on recurrence and thought as sound. It is a sonic wax and wane, an endless, minut…

It is a collection of live recordings made at the opening of a sculpture/film installation by my friend Andrew Perry Davis, entitled 'Clan of the Cave Mouse' .

'Live'
*100 copies limited edition* "Live is a product of trusted musicianship and spontaneity where the central desire is to see what people do with space collectively under conditions where there is no prescribed direction. This is a white label release under a subsidiary label called cow: Music and it comes off two hours of recording and roughly twenty-eight minutes make it into the album. Throughout this record, Williams plays a frugal acoustic role and much of his contributions take shape in the p…
Pin Down the Dust
*Limited edition tape* “Pin Down The Dust'' is the first meeting of Nighte - Christina Carter (Charalambides) and Mari Maurice (more eaze) - and it feels both automatic and natural. The collaboration stems from a spontaneous decision by the duo to start playing together weekly. “That's how this music was made,” explains Carter, “with gut feeling as the guiding principle. Mari understands the music I've made on such a deep level that playing with her feels so natural.”
By its very nature, intui…
