Stürm Ins Leben Wild Hinein!
This album is pure weird Alpine-Folk music with martial drinking-songs, alpine battle-hymns and strange fairie-tales out from the deepest Austrian and Bavarian forests, all embedded in a breath of black Monty Python humour. A pearl of pure Alpine Folkmusic!

Fans For Fans
*200 copies limited edition* A 'monolithic' experiment in extremely minimal non-music constructed in two long parts. If the first part is dominated by a background based on a single sound rich in harmonics that oscillates on its own wave-like vibrations, resting on a substrate of what can be at the same time a synthetic pink noise or the real 'capture' of a natural quasi-silence, in the second part a few sounds of a more overtly electric/electronic matrix, a tangle of faint high-pitched looped e…
Notturni
*200 copies limited edition* "Notturni", Germinal's second album, deepens and pays tribute to more distinctly dark ambient influences while maintaining a firm focus on compositional minimalism. Forgotten loops and samples, buried melodies, rattling refractions and mysterious litanies delineate misty country settings and dreamy urban situations, which can be traced back to a minimum denominator: nocturnal landscaping.
Alain Pierre – Quitte à me tromper (Book)
A stark and contemplative tribute to composer and intellectual Alain Pierre (1948-2024) by Belgian artist Tim Onderbeke. Published shortly after Pierre's passing, this volume collects 69 black-and-white photographs taken on June 1, 2016, at Pierre's residence and studio, located behind the iconic VRT building in Brussels. Presented without captions and arranged in a purely figurative sequence, the photographs document Pierre in his most natural state—moving through his home, engaging with his ar…
Architecture educates! – Au contact de l'art (Book)
BIlingual Edition (Texts in French and English) An education turned around by art: famous English anthropologist Tim Ingold invites us to consider the arts as the very basis of an education in the 21st-century, an education that might begin to address the profound social and ecological crises we face.
"Under the acronym of STEM, education in the many disciplines of science, technology, engineering and mathematics has been harnessed to the relentless demand of the neoliberal economy for knowled…

Azimuth
Azimuth is the first full-length collaboration from Tyresta (aka Chicago-based Nick Turner) and cellist Simon McCorry (Gloucestershire, UK), featuring a quintet of impressionistic arrangements that combine swells of harmonic guitar with delicately composed strings and accents of modular synth. The resulting formations convey both the acoustic resonance of chamber music, and the experimental wash and warmth of shoegaze, making for a unique creation that is equal parts meditative and narrative.

Mutants In Siberia
Petr Vrba and Joke Lanz met each other many years ago while standing in the cue for the Hermitage museum in Saint Petersburg Russia. They never made it into the museum, instead they went to eat Solyanka soup and drunk red wine from Georgia. That’s when they decided to join forces and create a power duo w/ electrified trumpet, turntables, electronics and voice. They have toured Czech Republic twice and performed several times in Vienna and Berlin. Mutants In Siberia is their debut album recorded …
Chamaerops
Shrouded in mystery just like their magical compositions Torino’s collective Heart Of Snake are joined by Mira for their first release in six years, the enchanted ragged vibration of ‘Chamareops’, a 40 minute opus that just like the cold-hardy palm that lends its name to the album, blends classical guitar, desert folk, meditative exotica and distant island lullabies that withstand the test of time.
Originally led by Vincenzo Marando (Movie Star Junkies, Krano, Similou), Alberto Danzi (I Residen…
Bodytalking
Most intros to a Richard Ramirez album mention he's an artist that needs no introduction. Presenting a brand new album with five tracks of harsh noise, low end drone thrumming, crunchy textures and good old fashion sleaze. Further indication that Richard remains one of the most consistent and important artists in noise.
Beat
Temporary Offer. Recorded for Berry Gordy's short-lived Workshop Jazz imprint and recorded at the Hitsville USA studio, Roy Brooks (joined by fellow Detroit natives George Bohannaon and Hugh Lawson, along with Blue Mitchell, Junior Cook, and Eugene Taylor) injects a Motor City soul-jazz groove into the hard-bop root of this engaging 1964 album. Manufactured at Third Man Pressing in Detroit MI 180g audiophile quality vinyl
Please Come to Me
Masma Dream World, the experimental project of Devi Mambouka, returns with Please Come to Me, an album steeped in mysticism and raw emotion. Sounding by turns meditative, tortured, and exultant, it transmutes the abyssal language of devotion and the divine feminine through cavernous electronics, spine-chilling noise, and a powerful voice that succumbs to forces beyond her control. It makes the void sound like an embrace, and the embrace immortal.

Some Other Place
*2025 stock* "“We are the place in which we dwell.” In a universe such as improvised music where, particularly in an ensemble, chance plays some kind of role, Agustí Fernández and Barry Guy did not by chance name this opus Some Other Place, paradoxical as it may seem at first sight. Much rather, it is a deliberate plight to give to this composition a title that brings up the notion of otherness, which is markedly present in both their careers. Many areas were scoured, at times under the command …
Disc Rot
Long and intermittent running duo of Discrepant head honcho Gonçalo F Cardoso and Angela Valid's Alex Jones, with sometime collaborator Phil Laney aka Kenny Hosepipe joining in somewhere along the way, Hair & Treasure crossover from Sucata Tapes to Discrepant wax via 'Disc Rot'. Described by the duo, in their cryptic and scatological fashion, as "a fetid spread from the buttery catacombs of Hair & Treasure", one can only speculate on the mindset, if not for the scenario, for these file swap reco…

Jasnovidec & Tarnovski
During hot and mid pandemic August 2021, duo of Daniel Jakeš and Michael Nechvátal, know under their stage moniker of Jasnovidec, went to Pardubice for artist residency at notorious location of Divadlo 29 (Theater 29), key Czech location for worldwide avant garde experimental music and theater.

On a few of the occasions they wer…
