Dialektik
*37 copies limited edition* Formen's second album, "Dialektik," approaches the ambivalence of our contemporary society through the possibilities of sound design. The individual tracks, as well as the album as a whole, are filled with emotional contrasts, conflicting timbres, and inherent ambiguity. By bringing together opposing ideas, the album attempts to develop its own aesthetics, combining seemingly contradictory concepts such as noise/harmony, dysfunction/function, analog/digital, nature/te…
Didactics of the Prepared and Amplified Drumset
*2025 stock. 100 copies limited edition* Pascal Lopinat's prepared and amplified drumset, with which he has been experimenting and touring for a few years now, can seem very intimidating at first: a minimalist drumset, intricately wired effect pedals, loud amplifiers, loads of small microphones and a drummer in the middle of it all. This album aims to elaborate on this setup and the process of its sound creation. The album consists of 27 musical ideas based on different combinations of instrumen…

A Root Or Mirror, Blossom, Madder, Cracks; Together
"[..] With Rebecca Bruton’s piece, the melody/ harmony is transmuted into something psychedelic by manifesting its essential indivisibility from the shifting textures of the music as a whole. There’s often an ephemeral virtuosity to this music, an intricate (sometimes opaque, sometimes disorientingly transparent), florid weave of sound. But this virtuosity doesn’t assert dramatic effects; there are gestures here, but they’re the movements of sounding bodies, not the quasi-meaningful gesticulatio…
Waterfall
Sun & Rain is a fully collaborative quartet that thus far has practiced a painstaking process of co-composing music together. Because of this extreme sense of collaboration and only working on the music when all four members were physically together, the album Waterfall took six years to compose. Beginning in 2014 the band gathered at Laplante’s residence in Vermont for semi-annual rehearsal retreats. These were not particularly relaxing retreats, as the band held themselves to a rigorous work e…

O Most Noble Greenness
"O Most Noble Greenness is a collaboration across centuries between Du.0 and Hildegard von Bingen, a German abbess and composer from 1100 A.D. Though separated from the composer by the remove of time, language, geography, and instrumentation, we nevertheless felt Hildegard’s presence as a living, breathing source of inspiration. Channeling Hildegard’s visceral embodiment of natural and mystical imagery, we deconstruct her song "Item de Virginibus" to uncover new sonorities and form. Throughout t…
Slapstick In The Birdroom

High-energy guitar, drum and horn music with an absurdist performative edge. The sound of a tornado hitting a Guitar Center." - Orb Tapes
