Tera Tera
Hyperjazz Records presents the self-titled debut album from Tera Tera, an unexpected collaboration between two visionaries of the Italian music scene. Drummer Jacopo Battaglia, founder of the cult Italian trio Zu and collaborator with Mike Patton and The Bloody Beetroots, joins forces with guitarist Adriano Viterbini, founder of the rising sensation I Hate My Village and collaborator with Rokia Traorè and Bombino. Born from two intense jam sessions of pure improvisation, this album emerged throu…
Travelling At The Speed Of Time
*300 coipes limited edition* Only a clarinet sings – minimal, quivering, wavering. Breathing mad notes in the cracks between notes, weaving a dazed, fuzzy kind of magic. The latest recordings by Museum of No Art are tripping – floating in suspense, somewhere out in the irrational corners of the world inhabited by the haunted elegance of Ben Bertrand or Bernhard Herrmann. But still, entirely her own – a quiet revolt of classical clichés in search of a new dawn for lunatic woodwinds. She sings thr…
Inedit
In the verdant countryside of Seine-et-Marne, within the exposed beams of an 18th-century farmhouse, a collection of unreleased treasures lay dormant for over two decades. Now, Trad Vibe Records presents Inedit, a remarkable testament to the creative freedom and spontaneous brilliance of Cortex, one of France's most influential jazz-funk collectives. This essential reissue illuminates a forgotten chapter in the group's history, revealing the raw genius that would later inspire hip-hop producers …
Hyperrealist Music, 2011-2015
"Hyperrealist Music, 2011-2015" is a selection of late masterpieces by Noah Creshevsky, a proponent of "Hyperreal Music," which opened a new door to cyber-human music.
Forgetting is Violent
Forgetting is Violent, Patrick Shiroishi’s latest solo LP, is his most immediate release yet, expanding the scope not just of his music but of his extramusical considerations. Where his past releases on American Dreams reckoned with racism against Japanese Americans or presented Shiroishi’s saxophone as heard in a parking garage, Forgetting is Violent considers racism as a whole, historical and ongoing, with the urgency it deserves. Here, for the first time, we hear Shiroishi joined by a support…
Melopea
Super tip! Black Truffle is pleased to announce Melopea, presenting two new pieces highlighting the incredible voice of Amelia Cuni (1958-2024), the great Italian singer, based in Berlin in later life, whose mastery of the classical Indian dhrupad developed in parallel with a commitment to contemporary experimental approaches. After two stunning archival releases documenting traditional dhrupad performances in India in the 1990s (BT079 and BT092), the two side-long pieces here embody the freedom…
Songs and Bodies
'Songs and Bodies' is best described as hypnagogic post-rock, an impressionistic blur of dissociated riffs, jazzy rhythms and half-heard voices that casts a beguiling digital silhouette of '90s indie music. The album began as a personal experiment, a question that emerged as Piotr Kurek cast his mind back to the era that birthed bands like Gastr del Sol, Bark Psychosis, Labradford and The Sea and Cake. Curious how this music might sound in today’s cultural climate, he started recording sketches …
The Cosmic Tones Research Trio
Tip! Tip! Tip! On their self-titled second album, The Cosmic Tones Research Trio—featuring Roman Norfleet, Harlan Silverman, and Kennedy Verrett—dives deeper into the spiritual soundscapes that first defined their genre-defying approach. Based in Portland, Oregon, the trio crafts a transcendent listening experience rooted in both meditative stillness and rhythmic propulsion.
Blending cello, alto sax, piano, flutes, and an eclectic palette of textures and percussions, the album channels a sacred …
Sasquatch Landslide
Pick a small spot (a point) in front of you (a small knot of wood, a dog down the way). And tightly focus on this spot. And now slowly unfocus your gaze. Widen your gaze. Pan out without moving your eyes. Take it all in.
Lettres d'amour
Vocalist Linda Oláh and guitarist Giani Caserotto met in 2008 in the innocent infancy of their respective careers. Since then, they have formed the duo Lovers, that plays an electroacoustic music which elegantly maneuvers between several different musical genres: Improvisation, classical music, jazz and pop.
Kizaki Ondo
"Kizaki Ondo" is a folk song from Nitta Kizaki town in Gunma, north of Tokyo. Played annually by local performers at the Bon-Odori traditional summer dance festival, it features unabashed lyrics about prostitution along with a rhythmic drive sure to appeal to fans of contemporary electronic genres as well as aficionados of traditional musics. The first track is a wildly echoing vocal version recorded in 1980, redolent of humid summer nights; the second track, recorded in 1981, is an instrumental…
The Jar
*2025 stock. 200 copies limited edition* Serving as a metaphor for the relationship between time and human proximity, The Jar asserts itself as a sound journal of mundane everyday life moments and conversations with loved ones, recorded by Alagoa after his departure from Portugal in 2019. Following a strong influence from the early stages of acousmatic and concrete music, the album unfolds into an experimental mixture between electronic ambient music, field recordings, vocal sampling, and heavy …
Mentocome
Edition of 300. Sold out at the label. In the twilight territories where industrial decay meets visionary electronics, certain recordings emerge from the shadows carrying the weight of forgotten futures. Such is the case with Mentocome's self-titled album from 1992, a spectral transmission from Düsseldorf's underground that has remained largely obscured for over three decades until now. This haunting collection of post-industrial chamber works represents one of the most enigmatic and prescient …

Original copies, unplayed ** Roberto Donnini is an architect, visual artist, and musician who has realized several remarkable avantgarde LPs from the 1980s and 1990s, pure droning soundscapes with a sophisticated blending of a rich instrumentation performed by an incredible cast of guest players.

In C
* Limited edition of 750 individually numbered copies on gold vinyl. Includes insert * In the history of Western art music, few compositions have achieved the paradoxical feat of radical simplicity coupled with profound transformative power. Terry Riley's In C, composed in 1964, stands as the most deceptively modest yet revolutionary work of the twentieth century, a single page of musical notation that fundamentally altered the trajectory of American composition and established the foundation of…
A Rainbow In Curved Air
• Limited edition of 750 numbered copies on yellow vinyl. 180 gram audiophile vinyl • In the pantheon of American experimental music, few works possess the historical gravitas and enduring influence of Terry Riley's A Rainbow in Curved Air, released in 1969 on CBS Records' short-lived "Music of Our Time" series. This album represents nothing less than a seismic shift in the trajectory of Western art music, establishing compositional and technological precedents that would reverberate through fi…
Jazz In Silhouette
One of the great enigmatic figures of jazz, Sun Ra's persona as philosopher, showman and space enthusiast often overshadowed his purely musical accomplishments as one of the most prolific and creative composers and big band leaders in the business. The current release contains one of Sun Ra's most exceptional and highly regarded albums of the 1950s: Jazz in Silhouette. Although the exact recording dates are unknown (no details were given on the original LP back cover, which included no liner not…
More Wealth Than Money
*2025 stock* Normil Hawaiians had a transformative 1982. With two 7” singles and a 12” EP under their belts they suddenly found themselves disillusioned with the increasingly generic sounds surrounding them, so they forced the hand of change and began reaching out with that very hand. The band’s true constant in Guy Smith soon found himself with a new crew of musicians, Simon Marchant, Noel Blanden and Mark Tyler. Normil Hawaiians’ communal take on post punk quickly sprouted leaves from its mout…
Broadsides
In 2023, sound artist and composer Weston Olencki toured across the American South. Beginning in their hometown in South Carolina, they snaked a circuitous path from the mountains of West Virginia to the banks of the Mississippi River. As the miles accumulated, so did the initial seeds of new work. Instruments and artifacts they acquired hitched a ride in the backseat, while songs and sounds filled their portable recorder: water in its various states, the familiar insectoid buzz of those summer …
Inaudible Works 1994-2008
What have we here? 16 pieces of hard-to-classify music, created during the period 1994-2008, a cornucopia of playful, intelligent, questing and eminently listenable electronic music from Osaka-born artist Hyu, who released two albums on Nobukazu Takemura's Childisc label, in 1999 and 2002. Although a member of the turn-of-the-century generation of artists subsumed under the rather vague term "electronica", his work stands apart in many ways, particularly in his unique exploration of microtonalit…
