New Arrivals
Ensemble A
Ensemble A is a turbulent meeting of three fiercely individual improvisers - Ignaz Schick harnesses live electronics and turntables, Anaïs Tuerlinckx dismembers and reinvents the piano, and Joachim Zoepf twists reeds into guttural shapes. The result is a volatile sound collage, sometimes blunt-force, sometimes eerily restrained.
Oneiric
Oneiric evokes drifting memories and waking dreams - an album created by Jane in Ether where recorders, piano, and violin/voice entwine in gauzy, tactile improvisations. Their music moves in soft spirals, trading clarity for a haze of overlapping tones and near-silence, aching toward something just out of reach.
The Last Sacrifice
The Last Sacrifice by Mike Lindsay—co-founder of Tunng and the creative force behind Lump—offers a meticulously crafted folk-horror soundtrack that doubles as a standalone listening experience. Written as the audio companion to Rupert Russell's sinister true crime tale, Lindsay’s score winds through moods of spectral dread and rustic eeriness, shaped by analog warmth and otherworldly textures. The resulting album is immersive and haunting, deftly blending traditional English folk motifs with chi…
Where to From
Where to From marks the much-anticipated solo return of Hildur Guðnadóttir, a composer-collaborator equally versed in spectral pop, avant-garde, and soundtrack work. Reaching beyond her acclaimed film and TV scores, Guðnadóttir crafts nine intimately reflective pieces for strings and choir—drawn from years of voice memos and melodic fragments—where minimalist restraint meets moments of luminous warmth. The album’s texture hovers between Scandinavian melancholy, sacred choral atmosphere, and a me…
Betsy Jolas: Femme le soir
Femme le soir immerses listeners in Betsy Jolas’s world of memory, inquisition, and fleeting radiance, performed by Anssi Karttunen (cello) and Nicolas Hodges (piano). These pieces unravel at the tempo of spoken thought, suspending lyrical lines in unhurried motion and sudden illumination.
Sarah Nemtsov: Tzimtzum
Tzimtzum imagines four sweeping new orchestral canvases from Sarah Nemtsov, weaving Ensemble Nikel’s hybrid-electric force with WDR Sinfonieorchester’s expressive palette under Peter Rundel. Her music traces broken cycles - rupture, echo, and repair - through deeply textured instrumentations and bold structural arcs.
Selected Works 1985-2005
Selected Works 1985-2005 by Gabrielle Roth & The Mirrors assembles eleven transformative pieces from two decades of percussive ambient innovation. This 2025 repress captures their hypnotic blend of ceremonial rhythm, improvisation and deeply spiritual overtones, threading together global traditions and ecstatic energy to create immersive soundscapes meant for both movement and contemplation.
New Conference Call
New Conference Call brings together Gebhard Ullmann, Uwe Oberg, Joe Fonda and Dieter Ulrich for an engaging session rooted in deep listening, spirited interplay and exploratory textures. Their varied compositional voices and dynamic rapport yield music that stretches from reflective lyricism to intricate rhythmic conversations, underscoring their ability to blend innovation with ensemble empathy.
Death in the Urban Jungle
Death in the Urban Jungle by Lance Austin Olsen is an expansive electroacoustic tapestry, weaving copper plate, shruti box, tape fragments, and wordless voice into a narrative of decay and emergence. Resonances and silences shape a listening experience as tactile as it is elusive.
Liminal Spaces
Liminal Spaces, by Ed Jones and Emil Karlsen, sketches a quiet but complex dialogue between saxophone and percussion. Their communication is fluid, as fleeting motifs and rhythmic fragments surface and dissolve, inviting the listener into the shifting boundaries of spontaneous improvisation.
Moon
Moon sees Simon Rose and Nicola Hein map a shifting terrain between breath and electricity. Baritone saxophone and microtonal guitar unfurl in subtle layers, crafting a microcosm where fragility and abrasion lie side by side, always moving, always searching.
Within (2) / Appearance (2)
Within (2) / Appearance (2) by Michael Pisaro-Liu presents a contemplative exploration of duration and silence, foregrounding gradual transformation. These extended works for guitar and double bass, created with Michael Francis Duch, reward patient listening and engage with resonance and subtlety over spectacle.
Raiser
Raiser captures a 2013 Bronson session of Sissy Spacek—Phil Blankenship, Charlie Mumma, and John Wiese—in Los Angeles, channeling an intense fusion of harsh noise and noisecore. The album is a relentless, cathartic experience: shriek-laced blasts, searing electronics, and disintegrating metal fragments, all reassembled into monstrous, meticulously pieced sound collages. The result is sonic destruction made compositional, a full-spectrum assault that melts into jittery static and transformed debr…
Porch Music
Porch Music documents No Hope Orchestra, an ambitious large ensemble led by Paul McCarthy and featuring core members of the Los Angeles Free Music Society. Recorded live at The Box gallery concert in Los Angeles, the project harnesses a vivid assembly of improvisers—Mitchell Brown, Elaine Carey, Dennis Duck, Ace Farren Ford, Juan Gomez, Mike Gonzalez, Joseph Hammer, Keith Lubow, Nathaniel Mellors, Joe Potts, Rick Potts, Trevor Rounseville, Alex Stevens, Molly Tierney, and John Wiese. This releas…
Le Grand Couturier
Le Grand Couturier debuts with a self-titled album that threads together imaginary exotica and daring contemporary experimentation. The trio crafts a distinctive palette of analog warmth, improvisational spirit, and whimsical elegance, resulting in a record that both intrigues and soothes with its lush arrangements and unpredictable textures.
Get Out
Get Out by Pita unfolds as a seminal work in laptop-based experimental sound, capturing the raw interplay between digital entropy and sonic melody. Rehberg’s compositions navigate between turbulence and clarity, aided by precise electronic manipulations and a single-minded commitment to his artistic vision, setting a benchmark for subsequent generations of experimental musicians.
"Chaire" and "Live at Pomigliano D'Arco - 1973"
Chaire is an album built on compositions written between 1974 and 1983, newly arranged, restored, and recorded by Cervello with voice tracks of Gianluigi Di Franco restored from archival tapes. Centered on the multifaceted meaning of its Greek title—blessing, greeting, care—the album moves between memory and present, fusing Mediterranean roots, symphonic structure, and visionary arrangements into a contemporary progressive suite. Paired with Live At Pomigliano D'Arco - 1973, which documents a hi…
Melos
Cervello's Melos stands as a singular gem in the Italian progressive rock canon. Released in 1973, the album draws inspiration from Greek mythology, weaving Mediterranean folk elements into intricate prog rock compositions. Dominated by dense flute harmonies and shifting time signatures, Melos envelops listeners in a dreamlike blend of mythic storytelling, technical virtuosity, and poetic lyricism.
Star Dream FM
Dylan Henner’s album "Star Dream FM" is an experimental ambient suite woven from choral textures, marimba, processed voice, and impressionistic electronics. Presented as a fictional radio transmission of Henner’s adolescence, its 41 minutes blend memory and invention, immersing listeners in shimmering sonic vignettes that blur the boundaries between personal nostalgia and collective dream.
Neverlasting
Bilders' Neverlasting, released in October 2025 via Carbon and Grapefruit, is an album of literate, restlessly inventive art-rock led by New Zealand poet and songwriter Bill Direen. Blending hard psychedelia, gothic folk, and lyrical commentary on personal and planetary adversity, the record’s 15 songs showcase Direen's songwriting at once timeless and deeply rooted in the underground spirit of Aotearoa.
