Across … in Grief and Detail
Across … in grief and detail presents Michael Hersch at his most concentrated and exposed. Composed between two shattering personal crises, these three compact works push his already uncompromising idiom into a realm where every sound feels physically paid for. Writing for soprano, violin and bassoon in shifting combinations, Hersch strips away any sense of orchestral distance; what remains is a chamber theatre of proximity, in which the smallest inflection of the voice, the slightest change in …
Buenos Antwerp
On Buenos Antwerp, Elko Blijweert and Anla Courtis turn a chance Borgerhout encounter into a two‑part psychedelic correspondence, one acoustic, one electric, a cross‑Atlantic guitar séance wrapped in Dennis Tyfus’ cut‑and‑paste visual delirium.
Synths, Sax & Situationists (Music From The French Underground 1973-78)
France's near-revolution of May '68 kicked the country's small but vibrant counter-culture into overdrive and birthed a local underground music scene. The bands it spawned made music with far less rock purity than groups from the UK and US - their influences foregrounded improvisation, disjunction and genre-blending: Soft Machine, Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa, free jazz and radical politics. The introduction of the synthesiser in the early 1970s added fuel to the fire. This six-track compilation inau…

Live at IUCC - Complete Series
Few copies available. The Los Angeles based pianist, band leader, and composer, Horace Tapscott, always stood apart from the pack. A true visionary who was fiercely principled and independent, across the 1960s, '70s, '80s, and '90s, leading his legendary Pan-Afrikan Peoples Arkestra, he produced a tour de force of sound, seeded by social, political, and community-based action. For the entirety of their run together, Tapscott and his Arkestra, which continues to this day, were among the most impo…
Morgenmusiken
On Morgenmusiken, Green Cosmos expand their small‑town German jazz into a quietly epic, Coltrane‑lit cosmos, braiding modal vamps, Indian classical colour and spacious free improvisation into seven meditative journeys where silence and a single note carry as much weight as any crescendo.
Drawings, Collages, Paintings (Book, Softcover)
Drawings, Collages, Paintings reveals Adam Bohman as a visual artist every bit as singular as his music, collecting five decades of creatures, cowboys, food‑packet detritus and biro‑scrawled ephemera into a thick, disarming portrait of an English visionary working at the kitchen‑table edge of art history.

Or Gare: funeral procession music from Ryfylke, Norway
On Or Gare, Stine Janvin and Morten Joh slow time to a funereal crawl, reanimating Ryfylke’s “liksong” tradition as a ghost‑lit microtonal ritual where voices, synths and creaking percussion hover between lament, liturgy and quietly glowing electronics.

Act Against War
This album emerged from a chance encounter at Casa del Popolo in Montreal during the Suoni per il Popolo festival. Over the years Tim Daisy and Stefan Christoff kept in touch and in 2023 started exchanging more seriously about working on some music together. The conversations and exchanges over the years had revolved around trying to find pathways for collective action in the arts to support movements against war.
Particularly the two discussed and collaborated on a global radio broadcast to cri…

Macchina Che Respira
Piero Fogliati’s “Macchina che respira” (1990) is a kinetic sculpture built entirely around the realization of the author’s artistic utopia: imbuing lifeless machinery with the rhythmic and self-sustaining process of an organism. It is an apparatus of ontological interrogation, positioned at the final, unstable boundary between the organic and the artifact. In “Macchina che respira”, the fundamental function of life -respiration- is translated into an industrial imperative, forcing the observer …
