WVLT
WVLT is the newest sonic addition from WNDFRM (Portland-based, Tim Westcott), an album of eight distinct explorations exploring the many facets of experimental IDM. Tim Westcott’s practice is rooted in an acute, nearly forensic attention to sound. Subtle tones, sculpted drones, and lean percussive gestures, always pursued with a patient ear and obsession with sound design. With previous releases on Prologue, Home Normal, and Dragon’s Eye Recordings, and several live performances at Mutek, a new …
Tokyo
Wolfgang Muthspiel and his trio with Scott Colley on bass and Brian Blade on drums (“Together they have something of the empathy of the Bill Evans trio” – Downbeat) goes into its third recording-venture swinging, setting the stage for what may be the group’s most adventurous trio recording with a delicate reading of Keith Jarrett’s “Lisbon Stomp”. Throughout the album however, the Austrian guitarist and his American cohorts turn the spotlight towards Wolfgang’s captivating originals, touching on…
Wrong Filament
Wrong Filament embodies Robert Piotrowicz’s creation of fictional traditional music — not studied but invented, a utopian and oniric construct that becomes tangible in sound. These imagined traditions act as communal forces of music-making, resisting dominant structures of power. The album unfolds in six dense compositions built on rhythm, repetition and minimal melodic gestures that draw on archetypal patterns of Eastern European traditions. Entirely synthetic yet strikingly instrumental in cha…
In Memoriam Alvin Lucier
The influence of Alvin Lucier’s work on acoustic phenomena and the interplay between sound and space is difficult to overstate. His legacy continues to echo through the work of countless composers and sound artists today. Lucier’s music is marked by a sense of childlike wonder and sonic simplicity - shifting our perception from what we hear to how we listen.At the heart of his compositions lies the sine wave: the purest, most elemental form of sound. Clarinetist Dries Tack pays tribute to this …
Àlbum

Kōri no ryokō / Jäämatkailu
Water can retain or wash away memory; flowing or freezing. It gives life and shapes earth, while frozen imprints of an ancient past are waiting to melt – back into sound or fluid motion, or simply to dissipate and disappear. For their split release, Yoichi Kamimura and Olli Aarni offer two distinct reinterpretations of a performance recorded live at the Temppeliaukio Kirkko – a church in Helsinki built directly into solid rock and bathed in natural light – meditating on glacial landscapes and wa…
Two Lonely Space Pilots
There's a moment, early in Two Lonely Space Pilots, when time seems to stop. Not pause - stop. The saxophone sustains a note that hovers somewhere between breath and pure tone, while scattered percussion marks territory in the emptiness like footprints on an unexplored planet. This isn't background music. This is Hekura - a Barcelona-based duo who've spent years learning how to make silence speak and stillness move. Ernest Pipó and Edu Pons met during their jazz studies at Taller de Músics in Ba…

El Nirvana
*200 copies limited edition* You are probably familiar with the pop-psych Nirvana from the 70s and almost certainly with the renowned outfit of the same name from the 90s Seattle grunge scene. However, somewhere in between the above emerged in Buenos Aires a combo of classically trained musicians with a passion for leaving their own mark in the then burgeoning prog/psych/folk scene.
Despite their short life span between 1976-1978, El Nirvana quickly rose to an acclaimed band among their more wel…

22 BĪJA
*22 copies limited edition* To paraphrase Éliane Radigue's famous double 7" record, the two discs you hold in your hands are designed to be listened to either separately or simultaneously, synchronously or asynchronously.

For those who enjoy listening to music diff…

xAj3z
SoiSong is the bright, stunning, and short-lived project conceived in 2007 by Ivan Pavlov (CoH) and Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson (of Coil). The duo combined Pavlov’s uncompromisingly-visceral digital aesthetics with Sleazy's decadent, dark and whimsical approach to creation. Primarily located on the Eastern Pacific Rim, the two named the project after the Thai word for ‘two’ (song), as well as the seedy red-light quarters ("gloomy Soi’s, or alley-ways") of Bangkok. Together, they developed a un…

O Tilli
*2025 stock. 200 copies limited edition* Donnimaar is a music and visual arts project by Marie Kølbæk Iversen. The focus is on the magical songs of West Jutland that were documented in the 19th century by the Danish folklore collector Evald Tang Kristensen.

Paysages Avec Figures Absentes - Nachlese IV, Nachlese Vb (Liederzyklus)
Paysages avec figures absentes - Nachlese IV “...Paysages avec figures absentes... was written for the violinist Isabelle Faust and dedicated to her. In this piece, I wanted to approach writing for violin and ensemble differently, and not reproduce the same relationship present in “...prisme-incidences...”. Here, it is more a question of a sort of antiphony, of responses. Often while writing the piece, in order to remain within this framework, I restrained myself from developing the solo violin …
Les Mortes
*2025 stock* The project is a musical composition that employs the technique of deriving and expanding upon the fragmentary. It is an investigation that is, in advance, lost in the midst of stories that come back again and again, told in disorder, illuminated from other angles or revealed by new links. Les Mortes is a sonic saga that brings together three musical ensembles with different aesthetics navigating among these bits and pieces of a whole of which we have only the echo.
Stories of a fun…
