Without Earth
Dive deep into the realms of psychedelic soul with the one and only The Moon! Born in the summer of love, the band debuted in 1968 with his first album Without Earth. Surrounded by a clear Magical Mystery Tour feel, the group covers two songs off Colours (another obscure American group) debut album. "Brother Lou's Love Colony" in particular has little sitar flourishes fulfilling the idea of a serious homage to the Liverpool four. The remaining 10 tracks are all originals with the solid hard rock…
Hoshi
Hoshi is the 7th album by the worldly Kaakinmaa based sound producer Tomutonttu. This compositional endeavour began with foggy intuitions about freed people in swings, house plants in hanging baskets and people being brought up by wild monkeys. Tomutonttu has been dealing with questions perhaps romantic by nature. Maybe my songs are farming music after all? What does my computer think about my music? Did electricity smell different in the 1980s compared to now? Other smells that could be related…

Interweaving folk, ambient and free improvisation, A Record of Living Beings playfully confronts traditional instrumentation (khæn, shakuhachi, voice, taishogoto, cello) with live tape processing and esoteric '90s software.

Agree To Diagree
A chance to spend several days in the gorgeous Chamber Music Hall of the Deutschlandfunk Cologne, recording your music, is surely a coveted opportunity for any musician. No wonder I was elated to receive such an invitation from the radio producer Thomas Loewner. Pondering the question of how exactly I would like to use the time in the studio, I decided to write a series of pieces for three ensembles, keeping the same rhythm group throughout, adding the rest as my writing progressed. The resultin…
El retorn de l'escolta - A la memòria de Marianne Brull
This recording is the document of the concert that took place on March 15, 2023 at L’Auditori de Barcelona in Sala 04-Alicia de Larrocha.
It is therefore a document as faithful as possible to what happened that day when for the first time Doneda, Ninh and Andorrà were on stage.
Michel Doneda and Lê Quan Ninh, a stable duet for more than thirty years, have set up a space for joint creation based on a radical concept of listening that avoids any extramusical narrative to focus on the conformati…
The Poets Walk
"Friendship as a principle. A superb case, like a quiver. Inside, magnificent clarinets. That's all it took for Joe Fonda, passing through Brest, in France, to invite their owner to play with him on his next visit to the US. After all, anyone who owns these beautiful instruments ‘can really play’. And that's how New Origin began. From the very first bars of Vers le soir, the double bass leaps onto the springboard, cast by an urgent call from the drumsticks. Urgency, energy, decisiveness—it all c…

Transients I/O

Based on field improvisations recorded from 2018–2020 in Murmansk (the largest city above the Arctic Circle) the two-part electro-acoustic album uses the sounds of objects across Murmansk to speculate on the identity of this remote city – and how its young inhabitants adjust to living there.
For Transients I/O, Kühne recorded site-specific musical improvisations with objects i…
Settlers
*2025 stock* Settlers, the latest release from sound artist & researcher Sergey Kostyrko, explores the social landscape of Murmansk – the largest settlement above the Arctic circle. Side A, Murmansk Soundscape, provides an uninterrupted window onto the city at work, a field recording cherry-picked from extensive research trips around the area. Meanwhile, Sounds of Migration on Side B presents a curiously dynamic noise composition – curious because it’s an automated sonification: one unedited tak…
