Past present (tone poems across time)
'Past present (tone poems across time)' is Mark de Clive-Lowe's exquisite new solo album and his debut for Greg Boraman's Impressive Collective label in partnership with BBE Music. Previously the pair released the Pharoah Sanders tribute album 'Freedom', and the equally lauded 'Hotel San Claudio' in collaboration with Shigeto & Melanie Charles. A deeply personal sonic exploration by Mark, "past present" is a reflection on family, heritage, and healing which was created in tandem with retracing h…
Remembered in Exile: Songs and Ballads from Nova Scotia
Màiri Morrison and Alasdair Roberts collaborate with Canadian bassist/musical arranger Pete Johnston on a set of traditional songs with Scottish roots collected in Maritime Canada by folklorist Helen Creighton (1899-1989). Recording in Nova Scotia with Pete and a group of Canadian players, Màiri and Alasdair sing these far-travelled Scots ballads and Gaelic lyrical songs with poignancy yet playfulness, the gravity of exile ever alive in their hearts.
Pillar of Fire / Capernaum
This is the first collaboration between Al Cisneros (OM, Sleep) and David Eugene Edwards (Wovenhand, 16 Horsepower).
De l’art d’induire en erreur
The music of Fabien Lévy thrives on ambiguity, paradox and sonic illusion. With a deep interest in cognitive perception, he creates complex textures where clarity meets mystery, virtuosity blends with playfulness, and every composition becomes a daring exploration. Influenced by spectralism and his mentors Grisey and Risset, Lévy embraces musical allusions – from visual arts to world traditions – creating pieces that challenge and transform the listener’s perception. Whether through kaleidophoni…

Hoshi
Hoshi is the 7th album by the worldly Kaakinmaa based sound producer Tomutonttu. This compositional endeavour began with foggy intuitions about freed people in swings, house plants in hanging baskets and people being brought up by wild monkeys. Tomutonttu has been dealing with questions perhaps romantic by nature. Maybe my songs are farming music after all? What does my computer think about my music? Did electricity smell different in the 1980s compared to now? Other smells that could be related…
Agora

Connected with Tetsuya Maruyama, curator of the upcoming tape release, through this very dog. (Both Maruyama and t…

One missed out of the collection of dinte radio shows committed to tape as part of 10 year anniversary celebrations last year.
Settlers
*2025 stock* Settlers, the latest release from sound artist & researcher Sergey Kostyrko, explores the social landscape of Murmansk – the largest settlement above the Arctic circle. Side A, Murmansk Soundscape, provides an uninterrupted window onto the city at work, a field recording cherry-picked from extensive research trips around the area. Meanwhile, Sounds of Migration on Side B presents a curiously dynamic noise composition – curious because it’s an automated sonification: one unedited tak…
Conditions: 1218-0719
*2025 stock* Released as part of Sonic Acts Academy 2020 and available for digital download and as limited-edition vinyl, Conditions : 1218 – 0719 is the first release by Mækur, the collaborative project of Maiа Urstad, Eva Rowson and Anton Kats. During the Academy, Mækur transformed the space at De Brakke Grond into a radio studio, playfully engaging with FM and AM broadcasting formats.
In their speculative performance they shared excerpts from the release, which includes recordings from the Mæ…
Country Music
*150 copies limited edition* Written during a period of geographic and artistic transition, Country Music traces Severin Black’s movement from London to Berlin, unfolding through cycles of isolation and adaptation. Composed on the city’s periphery, the album’s material was continually dismantled and reassembled, reflecting a process of both artistic and personal reconstruction. The album marks a shift in production methodology, moving away from the immediacy of summed live takes toward a more de…
EP3
Tip! Jakarta’s avant-garde collective Uwalmassa returns with EP3, a mesmerizing 12” vinyl release that further cements their status as pioneers redefining the boundaries of gamelan tradition. Released via the forward-thinking Sundial imprint, this EP is not merely a collection of tracks but a bold manifesto—a sonic bridge between Indonesia’s ritualistic past and its electrifying, experimental future.
For the uninitiated, Uwalmassa operates at the intersection of reverence and rebellion. Rooted i…
Statue Falls
Renowned for some beautiful guitar work, as Translucent Envelope, Portland based artist Bob Desaulniers explores the more abstract side of sound managing to hold together a sparkling synthesis of agitation and precision, detail and roughness, perfecting a formula that has already been leading phenomenal releases out on Chocolate Monk, among others.
When Worlds Collide (2LP)
*500 copies limited edition compilation with insert* This is a limited double-LP collection of artists who've been on either Fourth Dimension Records or Lumberton Trading Company, or are even indirectly associated. The title, based on the name of a childhood '50s sci-fi film favourite, not only reflects the bringing together of these two labels but also the fact that most of the artists they are concerned with tend to navigate a wide range of ideas and approaches. The 2LP also began as a reflect…
Cutting Together Apart
"I imagine that one of the first things I heard in the world was the explosion of a Russian ammunitions factory on the outskirts of my hometown. It blew up the night I was born a new GDR-citizen. I´m not sure I heard a noise when the Wall came down, but it still echoes in my body. The echo contains many frequencies. Some of them sound like Gabber playing in my childhood room over the speakers my grandfather once stole from a Leipzig radio station. Some of them sound like me and my friends runnin…
Generations
"Generations" by Amsterdam based artist Origin ST is an introspective exploration of the various emotions which he went through during the pregnancy and birth of his first child - fear of change, anxiety, surprise, excitement, longing often all happening at the same time." - Origin ST
Live at Black Circle
Around this time last year, Marc Ertel joined the stage with the PITP brethren James Bernard, zakè, and From Overseas for a live performance at the Gothic Chapel in Indianapolis, US which was eventually released as a limited vinyl LP. Since then, Ertel has been quietly working on new solo arrangements along with new compositions that will be part of an imminent Dawn Chorus and the Infallible Sea record.
Just a few months after the Gothic Chapel performance, Ertel was invited to play a live set a…
Uoiea
Uoiea is a collection of meditative and textured minimalist ambient drone pieces created using only a Squier Bass VI and guitar pedals. Where in most of my compositions I tend to add layers and fill as many frequencies as possible, I opted instead to embrace the space between notes, the subtleness of the Bass VI's highest tones, and the general feeling of drifting slowly. The track names are nonsense pseudowords - descriptors of feelings and experiences that do not exist. This is an album for fl…
Issue 124: Barry Gray (Magazine + 7" White)

We're bundling the magazine with a superb six-track white vinyl EP featuring some of Gray's classic sci-fi theme tunes and incidental pieces too.
Gerry and Sylvia Anderson produced some of the most exciting children's television of the 1960s and 1970s. The list of their programmes – 'CAPTAIN SCARLET', '…
