New Arrivals
Die Fantastischen Abenteuer von Pawel Denda
On Die Fantastischen Abenteuer von Pawel Denda, Pawel Denda surfaces as a lurid, possibly fictional shadow-figure whose “lost & found” tapes collapse sacrilege and kitsch. Framed as SataniK Industrial-Pop from a corrupt Polish priest’s secret box, the album spins a blasphemous, pulp-noir mythology into jagged, future-facing noise theatre.
Canvas on Which It Is Impossible to Paint
On Canvas on Which It Is Impossible to Paint, Tungu and Hui-Chun Lin stretch improvisation to the brink of impossibility. Lin’s fiercely physical cello dialogues with Senchuk’s cut‑tape, bass and environmental ghosts, while Makigami Koichi’s voice skews the frame further, turning the duo’s third chapter into a volatile, detail‑rich sonic palimpsest.
The Commission
The Commission marks forty years of Capricorni Pneumatici with an eerie convergence of sound and image. A new CD of liturgical trances and mechanical nightmares intersects with Tomislav Török Terek’s London installation, where ritual ambient, police sirens and Tunguska dreams fuse into one destabilizing, cavernous listening experience.
Broken Man / Willow Tree / Just A Dream
*2026 stock* Peanut Rubble was a power trio from Buckinhamshire, a rural area a few miles northwest of London. This Radio Luxembourg Studios recordings were made back in 1968, being an early sample of british heavy music one year before Led Zeppelin released their first album.
They used to play in college/university circuit, airbases and youth clubs with 100w Marshall stacks, being too loud for some of those clubs. They supported bands such as Status Quo, The Pretty Things, Arthur Brown or Pink …
Pillars
On Pillars, Francesca Flora & nobile build a haunted architecture out of nothing but voice and machinery. Flora’s sighs, screams and murmurs are dissected and reassembled into slow-motion laments and grotesque lullabies, as if Ballard’s singing statues had learned to confess, choke and glow from within.
The Fullness of a House
On The Fullness of a House, Nial Morgan turns cheap fans, glasses and wood into a nervous, breathing architecture of sound. Domestic surfaces vibrate, stall and shimmer, yielding a quietly gripping electroacoustic diary where technical fatigue, spatial resonance and emotional ambiguity are held in fragile equilibrium.
Vos
The most recent album by Vrouw! The hand-picked tracks comefrom improvised recording sessions in which a fox spirit watches over the web of voices and sounds.
Five voices, five languages, one attitude: the all-female-collective Vrouw! comes from Berlin – and their music refuses any origin. The musicians form a network of noises, voice and structure from improvised material. Amplified everyday objects, self-made "microphone hats" and a bass that holds everything together - the result is a sound b…
God Is Good
It's been years now. OM have done their time in the desert, and ever-changing, are returned. Today, they say, God is Good. Are you surprised? Perhaps you've haven't understood what OM was saying to you. But perhaps you felt something... It's true that the one way pursued by OM leads in many different directions. It is a mystic path. Songs come from innumerable sources, filtering through the external and the internal. OM albums are rituals, personal convictions transcripted into verse. Playing th…
Advaitic Songs
More than a decade after its initial release, Om's Advaitic Songs continues to stand as a towering achievement in heavy music's ongoing evolution - a record that demolished preconceptions about what drone-doom could become while establishing new possibilities for consciousness-expanding composition. Where God Is Good represented the first step in a more ornate and sophisticated direction for Om, Advaitic Songs achieved a level of composition that would have been impossible to foresee from the du…
Materia
Italian sound artist Giulio Aldinucci returns with his 5th album on KARL: „Materia” is unsurprisingly a truly masterfully composed and sound-designed ambient masterpiece that adds perfectly to a series of critically acclaimed albums like “Disappearing In A Mirror” (2018) or “Shards Of Distant Times” – some of which made it onto several year’s best lists.
The Call
On The Call, Henry Grimes refuses the “leader date as reward” narrative, stepping out as a co‑equal melodic force with Perry Robinson and Tom Price in a trio document where free jazz means deep listening, not just full‑bore blaze.
Trio
On Trio, Lowell Davidson explodes the piano tradition from the inside out, trading clustered storms, sudden lyric breaks and pregnant silence with Gary Peacock and Milford Graves in a one‑off 1965 session that still feels dangerously new.
The Will Come Is Now
On The Will Come Is Now, Ronnie Boykins finally moves from Sun Ra’s bass chair to the centre of the frame, leading a septet through six originals where earthy groove, cosmic harmony and astonishing arco work reveal the band’s quiet architect as a full‑blown composer.
Stilla Dagar, Stilla Nätter/Stille Dage, Stille Naetter
*200 copies limited edition* Swedish-Danish collab album of lush, low key new age/ambient DIY gold, based mainly on synth, piano, saxophone, spoken word and field recordings. Marvelous peak summer music. A private press style/no label release distributed by Discreet Music.
With the released LP “Stilla Dagar, Stilla Nätter / Stille Dage, Stille Naetter Limited Edition,” the split release by Gustaf Dicksson, Post‑Tragic, Sonja Labianca, and Frida Johanne takes the next step in their creativit…
Oresme
*300 copies limited edition* Percussionists Mika Kallio and Janne Tuomi have each spent decades at the edges of Finnish improvised music. Oresme, their debut duo on Mustik Motel, takes its name from the 14th-century philosopher who argued that all perceived motion depends entirely on where you stand. Nine tracks navigate that same double territory: outward into astronomical scale and inward toward something quieter and untranslated. Two percussion setups, one vibraphone, and a great deal of room…
Alight
Tahmela Six returns with Alight, a bold new release that ignites the senses from the very first note. Blending atmosphere, energy, and emotional depth, Alight is a journey through motion and feeling—where brightness and tension coexist, and every track moves like a spark catching fire.
With its distinctive sonic palette and tightly crafted songwriting, Tahmela Six explores themes of transformation, momentum, and the moment before something changes forever. Alight doesn’t just play—it draws you i…
Felix
The great master, improvisational pianist, and musical polymath Steve Beresford; John Edwards, one of the most important double bassists on the global free improv scene; and Mandhira de Saram, an exquisite violinist and former member of the renowned Ligetti Quartet, come together. “Felix” is the recording debut of this trio, which, since its formation a few years ago, has become a regularly performing ensemble. Recorded at London’s Vortex club in January of last year, the album demonstrates how …
Oblic
"Among all the paradoxes of communication, which improvisational musicians explore continuously as connoisseurs to create magic, there is the fact that they speak at the same time (something we are generally discouraged from doing). Not only that, but they have the quartering ability to listen and hear each other while speaking at the same time. Reversal of the situation for better sharing: to hear each other better, to hear everything better, it would really be better if we all got into the hab…
Bee Space
There aren’t many all-female vocal groups in the world of improvised music, even fewer of them are working bands, and there are very few projects that are anything more than that. VoiceACT, conceived by Anna Gadt, is exactly that. VoiceACT is, above all, a platform for artistic exploration, generally without specific stylistic characteristics, but operating according to the sacred principle of free creation, to which each invited artist contributes whatever resonates in their improvisational sou…
Hear This
In March 2022, Joe Fonda and Silke Eberhard met at the Downtown Music Record Store in New York, and just six months later they were on stage together with Austrian drummer Emil Gross in Berlin. The Josilemi Trio was born. The collective trio's compositions and improvisations are powerful, driving, elegant, structured and refined, combining diverse influences with improvisational inspiration. It is music that is completely connected to the moment and yet totally future-oriented. It is Music for h…
