Infinite Expanse continues its excavation of forgotten Czech sound archives with ‘Selected Ambient 1988–1989’ by Dia Archa – a project that briefly surfaced in the late 1980s and early 1990s before dissolving into obscurity. Formed by Michal Kořán and Filip Homola, Dia Archa emerged from the same circle as Richter Band, Jaroslav Kořán, and Modrá, tracing an overlooked lineage of post-industrial minimalism and domestic ambient experiment. Working at the tail end of the socialist era with almost n…

Degraded, faded cities now empty of people. You can hear household appliances in the kitchens still talking, but only to each other. The phrases are distorted, unclear; broken English , Japanese and a few Korean and Chinese automated voices, syllables, shopping lists, play lists for dinner and recipes. Somewhere one of the machines is dialled in on an isolated pre Buddhist monk chant, distant like from a high cliff meditation cell. The flow of the wide, long Black Mother River Kali Gandaki below…

Meditations is a set of 8 works based on the experience of meditation practice. Music made for both meditation and reflecting the realities of a life of daily practice. The breath, the quietness, the listening, the distracted dissonant and consonant thoughts that pass through. The texts throughout the pieces are fragments of the Buddhist Heart Sutra, the shortest and created from a mixture of traditions and sources, produced long after Buddha's death and meant to be chanted or sung as a ritual a…

“I keep thinking about this idea that once you think you’re on the path, you’ve lost the path,” says New York musician Devin Shaffer, explaining the ethos behind Patience, her first studio album. “There is no certainty, there is no knowing. It’s all about surrender.” Written between 2021 and 2023 and Shaffer’s move from Chicago to New York City, Patience mirrors life’s highs and lows on the search for spiritual meaning, purpose, and connection. For the first time, Shaffer leads a group of sensit…

Trinity, the third collaborative album between Lawrence English and Stephen Vitiello, continues the pair’s patient, pliable musical explorations while marrying them with a unique collaborator—one per track—to map new territories. Trinity presents five collaborations with acclaimed artists who work at the edges of sound and genre: Chris Abrahams (The Necks), improvising turntablist Marina Rosenfeld, Brendan Canty (Fugazi, The Messthetics), multidisciplinary artist Aki Onda, and the late contempor…

Free Waltz compiles tracks recorded between 2016 and 2024, drawing inspiratio…

Tip! Welcome to the 20th Century: "My point of departure for the octet was to treat the ensemble as a flock of clarinets and develop swarm-like scenarios. At the same time, I thought of the 8 players as a kind of acoustic 8-channel-installation with the musicians surrounding the audience. This could be seen as an expansion of the stereo analogy we sometimes work with in The International Nothing. While The Nothin’ is all about developing a very personal language of new sounds with self-invented …

*300 copies limited edition* Melatonia marks the seventh full-length release from the drone duo Pausal, celebrated for their work on labels including Barge Recordings, Students of Decay, Own Records, Dronarivm, and Infraction.

The album emerged during a period of transition and upheaval for both members, dividing t…

*300 copies limited edition* The transoceanic partnership of 36 (UK) and Black Swan (US) yielded one of Past Inside The Present’s first truly essential releases in 2019, just a year into the label’s existence. In Four Parts succinctly establishes a beautiful but shadowy gravitas that is core to the PITP catalog, and that each artist has explored throughout successive releases in numerous, genre-defining ways. We are proud to present a limited, black vinyl reissue of this long-out-of-print suite …

*100 coipes limited edition* Five years after their landmark début, Mirrored (ZDR, 2020), Drew Sullivan (Slow Dancing Society) and Zach Frizzell (zakè) present Stars & Silence, a double album that invites internal exploration and deep meditation with its fluid blend of rich ambience, hypnotic IDM, and melodic finesse. “Everything we do is about reconnecting with the resonance and energy that we are made from,” Sullivan states, and in each of the album’s passages, we feel the pulse of an expandin…

Mark Fell inaugurates his new label - The National Centre for Mark Fell Studies - with his first solo electronic material in years; a slinky, ravishing volley of unique dance drills that have been in the works for over a decade, feeling somehow like Derek Bailey dissecting Singeli, or Autechre and Hermeto Pascoal dancing in hyperspace. There’s nothing else quite like it. Back on the ‘floor for the first time since dealing a pair of deep house 12”s with DJ Sprinkles, sending a contemporary classi…

Yara Asmar’s new album, “everyone I love is sleeping and I love them so so much”, presents 11 pieces recorded over the past year between the small town of Alfred in upstate New York and Beirut. These sometimes fragile and tentative sound sketches reflect the times as Yara steps out, as if onto ice, into a new life on a new continent. She works with unfamiliar instruments, new materials and new sounds to build on her intimate style; homemade mechanical music boxes and a personal archive of family…

In collaboration with Milan Records and Sony Music, Waxwork Records is proud to present the premier vinyl release of Bugonia Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by Jerskin Fendrix.

For Bugonia, Fendrix has crafted a soundscape brimming with sweeping strings, bold brass, thundering per…

In Star Trail, José Luis Hurtado sculpts a luminous universe of sound—music that resembles light itself: expanding, reflecting, distorting. Through multilayered “parametric counterpoint,” space triumphs over time, revealing textures that shimmer between structure and spontaneity. Each work—Electric Dust, The Untitled 3S, In the Space of Time, Mutual Gravity, and the title piece Star Trail—unfolds as a sound installation of infinite possibilities, where every gesture refracts into new meaning. Bo…

Sounds, Archaeologies brings together works by Isabel Mundry that understand listening as an active, participatory process. Arising from the experience of a transformed acoustic environment, the composer opens her music to a dialogue with history, material, and cultural grounding. In the title piece for basset horn, violoncello, and piano, Mundry excavates the “sediments of our musical history” – sound becomes an archaeological find linking past and present. Balancing reflection and intuition, s…

In Naturstudium III, Luis Tabuenca, together with Les Percussions de Strasbourg, explores the sonic worlds of the Baschet sound sculptures—resonant bodies of metal, glass, and wood that oscillate between instrument and architecture. From their dialogue emerges a new musical grammar and hybrid notation that seeks to capture the fleeting nature of these resonances. Recorded by Neu Records in immersive sound, Naturstudium III is more than documentation: it is a spatial experience of vibration, reve…

A long-form drone piece by David First built on the 16th to 32nd harmonics of G, performed by the twelve-member ensemble The Western Enisphere, with liner notes by Sarah Hennies.

Super rare Japanese original by bassist Isao Suzuki. Much in demeand by collectors and original issue copies sell for $$$! Dusty groove says: "A really inventive little record from Japanese bassist Isao Suzuki -- and a set that, like most of his best 70s work, really defies any sort of easy categorization! Suzuki's got a wonderfully wide range of ideas running through his music -- at one level a really close-up and personal interprtation of the bass that makes for some beatiful solos (including …

ASMR for Suicidal Thoughts marks Varg2TM back in collaboration with Chatline, an enigmatic figure long in orbit of Northern Electronics. Recorded live to tape, the record resists comfort. Contained within are two harrowing demonstrations that drag on emptiness, anxiety, and abject pleasure. And though terse and severe, that very void becomes the vessel for its mottled meaning. Unopen to exploration, 'ASMR for Suicidal Thoughts' locks the listener into its own saturated atmosphere. Stripped back …

*300 copies limited edition* Even though you can’t hear it, infrasound fills the air. And because the atmosphere doesn’t absorb it like regular sound, infrasound comes from hundreds, if not thousands, of miles away. If humans could perceive frequencies lower than 20 Hz, then changing ocean currents, wildfires, turbines, receding glaciers, industrial HVACs, superstorms, and other geophysical and anthropogenic sources from across the planet would be part of the quotidian soundscape of our lives, w…

There are very few albums in the psych/punk/hard rock/private presses strata that garner the sort of universal awe and accolades that Fraction’s almighty Moonblood LP does, and even fewer records in the world that could be dubbed ‘Christian Rock’ incur such fierce devotion. Indeed some records just meteorically lift themselves out any genre tag with brilliance and sheer defiance--and Moonblood is surely one of them. Based in LA, Fraction was a ragged collection of working-class musicians--the li…

Laura Cetilia's cello works evoke the sense of crossing the threshold between traditional classical music and experimental soundscapes. Within an acoustic resonance that respects the natural reverberations of a space, rippling waves of subtle disturbances conjure a mixed sensation of classical roots and a refreshing encounter with the unknown. This offers a glimpse into a vast and profound world that is uniquely Cetilia's own. 'gorgeous nothings' is an album of three pieces composed by Cetilia, …

Third album by the Jérémie Ternoy Trio, Survol à basse altitude (“Low-Altitude Flight”) extends the story of a group that, for over twenty years, has moved beyond the well-trodden paths. Away from noise, effects, and speed, the trio continues its quest for clarity, balance, and meaning. Around Jérémie Ternoy (piano, compositions), Nicolas Mahieux (double bass), and Charles Duytschaever (drums), an open space for dialogue takes shape — one where listening drives everything, where each sound finds…

*50 copies limited edition* Descending from the first volume, Variierende Töne vol.II retraces the essential threads of the label, this time through two parallel perspectives: membranes + machines. A continuity of path, where past and future blur into new readings, into sounds that move between repose and tension, between presence and absence. The work is divided into two movements. Side A: an immersion in organic matter—field recordings, acoustic research, surfaces shaped by Hanna Maria & Matti…

*180 gr., 350 GSM gatefold covers, embossed front cover, 4 vinyl colors, each numbered to 100 copies, large poster, downloadable bonus CD, personalized copy + number selection* It is not with sheer joy, but with overwhelming jouissance that we undertook the demanding task to reissue on vinyl the behemoth that is called Anabelas. Heralded in its contemporary 70s music press in Argentina as a phenomenal release, and venerably revered globally for many years to come by progrock aficionados as a bes…

"Richiamare" is an attempt to create a bridge to the past, a connection between absence and precariousness as a vivid action of the present. The French Suite No. 3 by J.S. Bach is a piece that accompanied me for many years during my growth and studies as a musician. It made me confront the difficulties of the instrument, the need for dedication and the tendency to reach a higher stage of awareness. Many years later, that same piece resonates in my memory in a different way. It has created its ow…

** 2 LP Set + Dedicated Tote Bag Special Bundle Price ** In the summer of 1976, a peculiar album appeared in Italian record shops bearing no artist name - only the cryptic moniker Elektriktus. The music posed a question that wouldn't be answered for decades: who had created this hybrid of jazz sensibility and kosmische synthesis? The answer was hiding in plain sight. Andrea Centazzo - recognized figure in European free improvisation who had shared stages with Steve Lacy, Evan Parker, and Derek B…

Music, said Zen patriarch Hui Neng, "is a means of rapid transformation." It takes us home to a natural world that functions outside of logic, where harmony and dissonance, tension and release work in surprising ways. Weaving memoir, travelogue, and philosophical reflection, Sudden Music presents a musical way of knowing that can closely engage us with the world and open us to its spontaneity.Improvisation is everywhere, says David Rothenberg, and his book is a testament to its creative, surpris…
