Aeris
Aeris is the ninth ECM New Series album to feature the vibrant and highly expressive music of Erkki-Sven Tüür. Olari Elts, a long-time champion of Tüür’s compositions, conducts the Estonian National Symphony Orchestra in compelling, intensely-focused performances of Phantasma, De Profundis and Tüür’s tenth symphony ÆRIS, a vast drama of shifting energies and interactions, which is scored for horn quartet and orchestra. The symphony is in four movements that transition seamlessly. Tüür: “Each mov…
Tramonto
Recorded live in Birmingham during a Contemporary Music Network tour in 2002, Tramonto finds UK pianist John Taylor (1942-2015) in celebratory, outgoing mood, fronting one of his most dynamic and quick-witted groups, with US musicians Marc Johnson and Joey Baron – the energetic team that would later collaborate on the critically-lauded ECM recording Rosslyn. Here the repertoire features the well-known Taylor tunes “Pure and Simple”, “Between Moons” and “Ambleside” (heard in an epic 15 minute…
In Memoriam Alvin Lucier
The influence of Alvin Lucier’s work on acoustic phenomena and the interplay between sound and space is difficult to overstate. His legacy continues to echo through the work of countless composers and sound artists today. Lucier’s music is marked by a sense of childlike wonder and sonic simplicity - shifting our perception from what we hear to how we listen.At the heart of his compositions lies the sine wave: the purest, most elemental form of sound. Clarinetist Dries Tack pays tribute to this …
Two Lonely Space Pilots
There's a moment, early in Two Lonely Space Pilots, when time seems to stop. Not pause - stop. The saxophone sustains a note that hovers somewhere between breath and pure tone, while scattered percussion marks territory in the emptiness like footprints on an unexplored planet. This isn't background music. This is Hekura - a Barcelona-based duo who've spent years learning how to make silence speak and stillness move. Ernest Pipó and Edu Pons met during their jazz studies at Taller de Músics in Ba…
Minyo Groove 1963-1979 - Japan Meets Latin, Rock, Rare Groove & Funky Vibes
Active as a professional DJ in Japan since the late eighties, DJ Yoshizawa Dynamite is also a renowned remixer, compiler and producer. An avid record collector and an expert of Wamono music, Yoshizawa has published in 2015 the now-classic Wamono A to Z records guide book, which instantly sold-out. The book unveiled a myriad of beautiful and rare records from a highly prolific, but still then unknown, Japanese groove scene. He has also selected a large part of the music in our highly acclaimed Wa…
El Nirvana
*200 copies limited edition* You are probably familiar with the pop-psych Nirvana from the 70s and almost certainly with the renowned outfit of the same name from the 90s Seattle grunge scene. However, somewhere in between the above emerged in Buenos Aires a combo of classically trained musicians with a passion for leaving their own mark in the then burgeoning prog/psych/folk scene.
Despite their short life span between 1976-1978, El Nirvana quickly rose to an acclaimed band among their more wel…
Surfing On Sine Waves
Originally released in 1993, Surfing On Sine Waves is the second album released under the Warp Artificial Intelligence series (the series also includes the two titular compilations, as well as contributions by Autechre, The Black Dog, F.U.S.E. and more).
Surfing On Sine Waves is also the sole album released under Richard D. James’ (aka Aphex Twin’s) Polygon Window alias. The name “Polygon Window” originally appeared as a track name under Richard D. James’ other pseudonym The Dice Man, as the tra…
Tracks
Frode Gjerstad, Alexander von Schlippenbach, and Dag Magnus Narvesen's first trio recording is powerful convergence of avant-garde improvisation and deep jazz sensibilities. Gjerstad’s fearless saxophone work, Schlippenbach’s adventurous piano explorations and Narvesen’s dynamic drumming create spontaneous compositions that betray a deep mutual respect.
One Another
“The body’s relation to the social is inseparable from, and of the same relation to the world, not a relation of objectification but a carnal intertwining prior to any reflective judgement.” -Rosalyn Diprose
Conversation No. 1 / Collecting Rocks From The Places We've Been
Conversation No. 1/ Collecting Rocks from the Places We’ve Been is a solo for bass clarinet which can be performed as a duo, trio, or maybe someday with many, many bass clarinets, or in collaboration with other artists. Katie Porter is interested in creating systems of music that she can exist in together, for herself and others, music that collapses and expands on itself, where we are free to choose the phrases, iterations, and lean into the occurrences of overlapping tones, vibrations, multi-…
22 BĪJA
*22 copies limited edition* To paraphrase Éliane Radigue's famous double 7" record, the two discs you hold in your hands are designed to be listened to either separately or simultaneously, synchronously or asynchronously. Similarly, the sides of these two discs can be played at any speed and in either direction. It is also permissible to scratch the record, block the arm to form a loop, intervene freely... The only limit is that set by your turntable.
For those who enjoy listening to music diff…
Landscape Music 5
*2025 stock. 200 copies limited edition* And the cloud passes overhead. A drone crosses, reminding us of the whole summer outside. You just have to look up. Over the wall, can’t you see the courtyard and the hill covered with pines, at the base of which lie ancient barns that have better withstood the test of time than the castle. The fountain’s jet still makes its noise in the basin, under the gray stone watchtower. From here, the path always leads to Grand’rive under the damp cover of the beec…

Lore
*2025 stock. 43 copies limited edition* MMLI proudly presents Lore, the latest sonic offering from Cigve, an artist whose work folds shadowed textures, forgotten myths, and fractured harmonies into an immersive listening experience.
Both austere and deeply emotive, Lore moves between spectral ambience, brittle dissonance, and moments of fragile melodic clarity. The work feels as though it has been unearthed from an ancient archive, where memory and invention blur. Each track evokes the sensati…
Black Flights
*300 copies limited edition* A new devastating alliance in the Italian Power Electronics / Industrial underground. Black Flights marks the first collaboration between: Uncodified, Funerale Classico Italiano (aka Giovanni Maffeis, long-time collaborator of Brighter Death Now), and Wertham / Caligula031.
Black Flights delivers everything you'd expect from this trio: structured, oppressive patterns, high-octane harsh frequencies, distorted field recordings, and vocal. The album is a cold, methodica…

O Tilli
*2025 stock. 200 copies limited edition* Donnimaar is a music and visual arts project by Marie Kølbæk Iversen. The focus is on the magical songs of West Jutland that were documented in the 19th century by the Danish folklore collector Evald Tang Kristensen. The project is rooted in the partially forgotten and repressed ethnographic material, which also includes traditional songs that Marie Kølbæk Iversen’s great-great-great-great-grandmother passed on to Tang Kristensen, and which, in their narr…
The Disc

A sort of time capsule curated by Joyfully Waiting / Nathalie Rebholz. …
Les Mortes
*2025 stock* The project is a musical composition that employs the technique of deriving and expanding upon the fragmentary. It is an investigation that is, in advance, lost in the midst of stories that come back again and again, told in disorder, illuminated from other angles or revealed by new links. Les Mortes is a sonic saga that brings together three musical ensembles with different aesthetics navigating among these bits and pieces of a whole of which we have only the echo.
