Study Of A Dead End
*250 copies limited edition* The Mad Laboratory Of Anti-Matter is a free and improvised music duo based in Beirut. Created in 2022 by multi-instrumentalist Nadia Daou (NÂR) and clarinettist Paed Conca, an iconic figure on the improvised music scene.
Raw and industrial, the dark soundscape of this laboratory is an exploration of the void and everything that can be found and emanate from it: a sensory, physical, timeless experience. The trance-like quality of repetitive music is combined here with…
Bedlam
The English blues revival played a crucial role in shaping a new generation of performers and spawning diverse sub-genres. Emerging from this movement, the hard rock revolution ignited with the powerful riffs of Cream and their contemporaries, paving the way for a fresh wave known as the “British invasion.”
Among the impactful yet brief contributors to this era was Bedlam, a four-piece band that released a single studio album in 1973. At the heart of the band was the formidable drummer Cozy Powe…
Pivot Rotations
A continuous choreography of tape loops, motion, and quiet friction live recorded at Meakusma Festival and other shows.
Eternal Life Makes Your Past Grow Too Big
*100 copies limited edition* One Instrument welcomes Morning Seance, composer and sound artist, originally from Italy and based in Vienna. On this debut LP, Morning Seance traces a drifting narrative composed of unstable harmonies, fluid structures, and ghostlike forms. The album unfolds like a dream told in fragments, oscillating between fluctuating pulses and decaying transmissions, from nocturnal stillness to acoustic mirages. The first half of the record moves through zones of suspended tens…
Live at the Swing Club Torino Italy
"Although alto saxophonist Noah Howard never quite managed to garner the reputation that several of his more well-known playing partners did, to those 'in the know', he was every bit as essential and extraordinary as Archie Shepp and Albert Ayler. A player and composer of direct and emotionally charged music, Howard's career saw him bear witness to some of the most tumultuous periods in jazz, giving voice to the cry for freedom – both musical and political – that characterised the late 1960s and…
Retinal Rivalry
Retinal Rivalry is the soundtrack to Cyprien Gaillard’s new stereoscopic film, Retinal Rivalry (2024). It is an entrancing journey through Germany’s urban landscape and its layers of historical and social significance. Building on his previous exploration of the sculptural qualities of three-dimensional moving images, the work extends beyond the confines of the screen. By harnessing cutting-edge technology to its full potential, Gaillard offers an expanded, sharpened and deeply affecting novel v…
Holding on to Wonder
In times of infobesity and doomscrolling, maintaining a sense of wonder can be hard - especially for those who depend on it for their work. For all those involved in the arts, but also for anyone else who likes to be inspired by previously unimagined combinations of ideas, here is the perfect album: a sung conversation between artists, a voyage through the sonic multiverse, a musical invitation to re-widen those eyes.
On ‘Holding on to Wonder’, contemporary jazz corresponds with 70s cop show sou…
Through The Wall
A trickle of audio fragments exchanged between two locked down bedrooms becomes a flood of sound, emotion and connection.
Sùrtum
Massimo Silverio is one of the most distinctive names in the new Italian music scene, carving out a niche within the independent landscape with his unconventional idea of songwriting — influenced by the folklore of Carnia, electronic textures, and a highly personal approach to songwriting.
Surtùm arrives two years after Hrudja (2023), the album that established Silverio as one of the most intriguing emerging artists in Italy, blending the metalinguistic folklore of Sigur Rós, the gothic arrangem…
Stay Still
"A sociolinguist, composer, and writer, Erell Latimier explores the aesthetic, poetic, and political dimensions of language, with a particular focus on speech. In her compositional work, she engages in an infinitely precise process of setting her writings to sound, concentrating on the interaction between fragments of her texts—interpreted by voices—and sounds, whether collected or created, which are assembled into rich and shadowy semantic echoes. These disrupted discourses function as ghostly …
Døgnville
On Friday, September 5, Liv Andrea Hauge Trio releases its third album, Døgnville, on Norwegian label Hubro. The record explores the feeling of being “døgnvill” – a Norwegian term describing the sensation of being out of sync with time and reality, like during jet lag or insomnia. The music inhabits this liminal space between structure and freedom, consciousness and dream. Half of the compositions were written while pianist and composer Liv Andrea Hauge was bedridden with a high fever – in a sem…
Himmel Over Hav
Over the past 15 years, Hanna Paulsberg has established herself as one of the most vital and heartfelt voices on the Norwegian jazz scene. A highly sought-after saxophonist, Paulsberg moves effortlessly between musical genres in her many projects — from the pop/soul/jazz trio Gurls, which she co-founded and writes for, to the quartet Flukten, whose sound blends free jazz and folk influences. She’s also part of a Dexter Gordon tribute with Karin Krog, and has contributed to numerous projects with…

Farewell to the Night
Farewell to the Night by Ethan Syann is an immersive album released through the IIKKI label, offering a contemplative journey through ambient and cinematic textures. Spanning six tracks, it gently blurs the boundary between experimental soundscape and evocative minimalism, creating a space for reflection and nocturnal introspection. Its subtle layers and atmospheric depth exemplify Syann’s refined and measured approach to sound design.
Poco Prima dell'Aurora
Poco Prima dell'Aurora represents a significant collaboration between Ivano Fossati and Oscar Prudente, released in 1973. This transitional album weaves together folk-pop textures and progressive echoes, reflecting the vibrant creativity of Italian songwriting in the early seventies. Marked by solid arrangements and lyrical depth, its enduring freshness lies in both its authenticity and the synergy between two distinct musical voices.
Encounters of a Loving Kind
Nadia Cassini’s album Encounters of a Loving Kind delivers a distinct blend of disco, funk, and pop, vividly reflecting the stylistic tides of the late 1970s. Despite a muted commercial reception at the time, its catchy rhythms and Cassini’s charisma earned it a cult following, securing its status as a notable crossroad for fans of sensuous, groove-oriented European pop.
Jewels
Kitchen. Label is proud to present Jewels, the debut album from Tokyo-based composer Ryuuta Takaki, emerging from a new chapter in the city’s alternative wave. His music opens realms of mysticism, memory, and imagination, unfolding like radiant mosaics that echo symbolic traditions, Eastern esotericism, and a neo-Orientalist dreamworld. Takaki shapes music that moves between sacred stillness and ornate intensity. Though his creative path once passed through experimental hip hop and electronica, …
The Fantastic Jazz Harp Of Dorothy Ashby
This is the sixth album by Dorothy Ashby, a Detroit born jazz harpist who passed away in her early 50s in 1986 way before her time. She left us a rich legacy of music with this 1965 release being one of her milestones. The music is pure bright and swinging with a joyful mood. Dorothy Ashby performs her lines big time with her harp and captures your soul with the melodies she picks from its strings. She is always there upfront while the brass section mostly fills the background with colour if the…
