Kodemusik 1
*Limited edition of 25 copies.* Second volume of the Kodemusik series of limited edition releases containing repurposed or "upcycled" morse code training records. Each release has two records that can be mixed together and eg. slightly pitched differently.

Formerly lecturer in electronic composition and history at t…
Borrowed Tongue
Borrowed Tongue is the debut solo album by Korean singer-songwriter Minhwi Lee. It’s a mysterious, strangely compelling thing, an album of rare poetry, and remarkably self-assured. Originally released in November 2016, the album made waves, winning best folk album of 2016 at the 14th Korean Music Awards. Its eight songs, written and predominantly arranged by Lee, don’t reveal their secrets easily, or at first blush; rather, they take their time slowly to unfurl in her listeners’ worlds. There ar…

I want / I have to share my life with you
*40 copies ultra limited edition* Eight-channel sound installation. Voice, three machine learning algorithms. In 2020 with my colleagues we’ve started EOLA - an Experimental Opera Laboratory where we use different machine learning algorithms and hours of my voice data to create a new experimental opera.This fact made me think not only about future of music in general but particularly how the relationships between artist and instrument going to develop. In ancient times humans used to inspirit an…
Thunder Perfect Mind
*Edition of 300 copies* The original release of Nurse with Wound's gargantuan "Thunder Perfect Mind" in 1992 coincided with that of Current 93's homonymous genre-defining album. Legend has it that the gnostic name initially appeared to Steven Stapleton in a dream as the title of Tibet's then still nameless upcoming album. Both records feature contributions from David Tibet, Colin Potter, Rose McDowall, John Balance of Coil, Alan Trench of Orchis and Joolie Wood amongst others. The title and the …
Tales From The Trenches
*250 copies limited edition* Mostly known for his work as founder, vocalist and main songwriter for The Legendary Pink Dots, Edward Ka- Spel has long forged an equally prolific career as a solo artist given to sometimes exploring similar sonic realms as his group but clearly working at such a pace the need to channel ideas and songs in this capacity must be enforced. And just as well too, because Edward Ka-Spel is one of those rare and exceptional artists whose high workrate doesn’t betray a kee…
Walzer Für Ein Dreieck
Art-Record / Handmade Art Edition of 100 Copies in Box with 4 Prints & 2 Inserts. This is the first vinyl record by the legendary Rolf Julius (1939-2011) whose work is largely focused on “small music”, or sounds so subtle they’re barely discernible. One of the most significant artists in the border areas of music and fine art, Julius, like John Cage, works with the term of "silence", and sound is a liminal listening experience. The sounds in Julius' works have spatial and physical qualities such…
Black Creek
*102 copies limited edition* For anyone who's spent real time in the heavier quarters of the many-chambered underground in the last three decades, Andrew Nolan is a recognizable name. "Black Creek" represents an early entry in his most recent strain of solo work, which draws on dub and hip hop filtered through a studied lens of industrial dread (or maybe vice versa). Originally released as a cassette in 2021 by Seith Communiti, it's now presented as a limited LP in screen printed covers. The mus…
India Vibrations (Revisited)
Tomáš Niesner has been making a name for himself in recent years by way of his solo ambient/drone excursions and the intricate melodicism of his collaborations with Jakub Šimanský. But it was “India Vibrations,” a digital self-release of lo-fi manipulated field recordings captured during a trip across North India, that really caught my ear: the cacophony of street festivals juxtaposed with the solemnity of houses of worship, all recorded on an “obsolete cellphone” and then looped and layered, ab…
Hudson River Wind Meditations
Tip! “I first composed this music for myself as an adjunct to meditation, Tai Chi, and bodywork, and as music to play in the background of life, to replace the everyday cacophony with new and ordered sounds of an unpredictable nature. New sounds freed from preconception. …over time, friends who heard the music asked if I could make them copies. I then wrote two more pieces with the same intent: to relax the body, mind, and spirit and facilitate meditation.” - Lou Reed
Lou Reed’s final solo album…

Air II - Travelling Without Moving
The second volume of the Air series is even more abstract, stringing together eleven untitled chapters in a zero gravity journey aptly dubbed “Traveling Without Moving: The Trip.” The album lives up to that loose aforementioned tagline, imagining an ever-elusive search for meaning in the interzone Namlook never really abandoned. A lot of live recorded percussion in conjunction with environmental sounds is giving this album a more human touch. Over 60 minutes in one go, eleven "trips" on this wor…
