Live at the KiMo Theater Albuquerque 1979
On Live at the KiMo Theater Albuquerque 1979, Cecil Taylor leads a newly reconfigured Unit through a rare Western American performance of volatile grace and immense detail. Piano, alto saxophone, violin, bass, cello and multi-instrumental percussion form a shifting, luminous organism - less gladiatorial than Taylor’s 1978 bands, but no less radical in its freedom.
Live at Pageant : Soloveev
The date was May 10th, 2025: a warm spring day in Philadelphia, and a damned hot night over at Bainbridge and 6th. Inside the Pageant Soloveev gallery an evening of music presented by Open Mouth Records was escalating fast. Sharing the bill were Strapping Fieldhands’ Jacy Webster (a rare live appearance!), living legend Roger Clark Miller (Mission of Burma 5eva!) and, right in the goddamn middle, Body/Head’s Bill Nace + Purling Hiss’ Mike Polizze faced off in a taishogoto/guitar duo for the very…
Röntgen
"Röntgen" is Ø's (aka Mika Vainio) subliminal, minimal techno classic, and was featured on the first Sähkö Recordings release in 1993. Spatial, silvery-sharp, and reduced yet frenetic, it's a blueprint of drum machine and synth work that helped redefine an era in techno. This special-edition 12" also features a full-side cut of a previously unreleased Ø track from 1995. The untitled B-side carries the same approach as the title track—minimal TR-808 and acidic synthesis—but in contrast to the har…
Cold Calling on the Spirit Line
A transmission from the borderlands of sound, Cold Calling on the Spirit Line brings together the singular musical world of Perzeptiverdampfkesselqualmtbesinnlich and the unmistakable voice and imagination of Edward Ka-Spel. Strange, intimate and quietly unsettling, the album unfolds like a late-night conversation with the unknown. Its songs move through fractured landscapes of dream logic, spectral electronics and shadowy atmospheres, where familiar signals become distorted and every message se…
Energy Center (Book)
In Energy Center, Ed Hazell tells the essential story of Studio Rivbea, the Lower Manhattan loft where Sam Rivers and Bea Rivers made radical music possible on its own terms. Drawing on new research, photographs, posters and an unrivalled sessionography, the book restores 24 Bond Street as a home, school, rehearsal room and self-determined cultural engine.
Tellus: The Audio Cassette Magazine, Vol. 1
Long before streaming services, podcasts, or even the compact disc, there was Tellus—a radically ambitious publication that imagined recorded sound as an exhibition space. Founded in 1983 in downtown New York, Tellus transformed the humble audio cassette into a magazine, commissioning and publishing new works by musicians, composers, visual artists, poets, writers, choreographers, and performers who were reshaping the boundaries of contemporary art. Each issue invited listeners into a world wher…

Tip! *2026 much needed repress!!* Thorn Wych is a musical instrument maker and musician based in the Lancashire town of Bacup, specialising in work made from tree branches. Particular to her interest are UK native trees; so far Wych Elm, Lime, Wild Cherry, Oak, and Yew.

Her pieces consist main…
Memorial
»Memorial« grew out of Nate Wooley’s work alongside Annea Lockwood recording the Columbia River, and in particular from a visit to Kettle Falls in northern Washington, once one of the river’s great salmon fishing and meeting grounds and a place of enormous importance to the Sinixt and other Indigenous peoples of the Upper Columbia. The falls disappeared from view following the construction of the Grand Coulee Dam in 1940, submerged beneath what is now Lake Roosevelt, yet beneath the still surfac…
Bella Wakame
*200 copies limitede edition* Roughly two years after the release of their initial statement of intent, debut single “Toutpartout PT2” with its hypnotic ripples, Andi Haberl and Florian Zimmer aka Bella Wakame have successfully channeled the magic of a 2024 live recording (captured at Berlin’s Donau115 & Silent Green) into their first proper studio offering. You can hear inspirations ranging from Bitchin Bajas, Jeremiah Chiu to Groupshow (Jelinek, Leichtmann, Pekler), the hypnotic, intricate bat…
NK012
*150 copies limitede edition* Originally released by Umor Rex on cassette in 2015, NK012 documents the first-ever musical meeting of Berlin-based musicians Aidan Baker (Nadja, Canada), Andrea Belfi (Italy), and Erik Skodvin (Svarte Greiner / Deaf Center, Norway). Now, more than a decade later, the album is available on vinyl for the first time, newly remastered for the format by Rafael Anton Irisarri. This marks the third release in a series of four special, limited reissues to be released in 20…
Derma
*150 copies limited edition* Derma emerges from my dialogue with music, space, and silence. It is an immersive sonic experience where every gesture is guided by the here and now—by raw emotion, sensory perception, and the act of creation itself.
Through the use of extended techniques, the performance evolves into a unique, unpredictable path where distinct soundscapes merge into a deep, continuous flow. The core of the sound lies in the tactile relationship between the drum skin and the objects …
Efterbörd
*2026 stock. 180 copies limited edition* Crematorius returns with Efterbörd, a dense and uncompromising work of death industrial, power electronics, and dark ambient released by Minneapolis-based label Phage Tapes. Originally connected to material recorded under the Crematorius name in 1987, the album marks the project’s first substantial new statement in nearly four decades.
Across nine suffocating tracks, Efterbörd drags the listener through a landscape of saturated drones, corroded electroni…
An Act Of Self Mutilation Is An Act Of Freedom
*2026 stock. 200 copies limited edition* IRM presents An Act Of Self Mutilation Is An Act Of Freedom, a work that transforms inner conflict, physical intensity, and emotional extremity into a radical statement of liberation. Released through Phage Tapes, the album inhabits the unstable space between violence and vulnerability, collapse and renewal, destruction and release.
Rather than offering easy catharsis, IRM confronts the listener with an uncompromising sonic language—raw, abrasive, and dee…
Music To Watch Seeds Grow By 009: Patricia Wolf (Yarrow)
‘Yarrow’ is a bouquet of new music by Portland, Oregon-based musician and field recordist Patricia Wolf, marking the label’s ninth release and the third of Season Two. These works are her reflections on the life cycle of plants and their dynamic ecological relationships. Yarrow (Achillea millefolium, Asteraceae) is a flowering plant with a broad geographic range that includes North America and Eurasia. Yarrow connects Portland and London, where these songs were created and produced. Wolf wrote a…
Displaces
On Displaces, sound artist Francesco Fabris fashions a high‑dimensional cartography of memory, hyperobjects and matter, where langspil, biophonies and geophonies are folded into phased time‑space, drifting between suffocation and release in an eerily tactile sonic ecosystem.
Far Away Worlds
*2026 stock. 150 copies limited edition* Sounding waves between the inner and outer spaces, electromagnetic forces from the breathing ether.
Close Your Eyes, See Black
*150 copies limited edition* "Close your eyes, see black" is a slow descent into the depths, like freediving or deep anesthesia taking us to the sunken center of ourselves. When the darkness is too dense, when visibility is too low, what we had imagined as a privileged observation point becomes a lookout over the void. We must resurface to understand, with the new awareness that we cannot find everything within ourselves. Re-emerged, once again we ask ourselves how far we can see.
Athanor
*150 copies limited edition* Within him lies a chamber made of attention rather than walls. There, a quiet warmth works without flame, loosening certainties, refining what has settled into form. Nothing is forced; everything is listened into being. A tone, a shadow, a fragment of light; each pass through him as trace rather than possession. The world is not captured but accompanied, allowed to breathe, to fade, to re-emerge altered. In this inward vessel, transformation is a discipline of patien…
L'Anticristo (O L'Accettazione Del Male)
*2026 stock. 150 copies limited edition* This new album titled "The Antichrist or the Acceptance of Evil" is a project that is particularly important to me. It's a difficult theme, discussing violence, which exists in each of us, and how we make it seem normal by accepting and justifying it. Unfortunately. It is an imaginary story of a person—whether man or woman doesn't matter—who, by experiencing violence, discovers themselves.
Sing A Beast
*2026 stock. 150 copies limited edition* Sing-A-Beast is the debut solo album of Mariella Modonese following numerous collaborations with various exponents of the Italian research scene. The album contains 10 tracks conceptualized, composed and performed by Miriam and produced by her son Fabrizio Modonese Palumbo (Larsen, ( r ), Blind Cave Salamander,...) portraits of different animals organized into a sort of bizarre bestiary containing short spurts and long elaborate musical suites as well as …
