New Arrivals
Abhaile
Compositions by Finola Merivale for field recordings and electronics, with Catherine Sikora's tenor saxophone moving through shifting sonic environments between stark minimalism and dense, evocative layers.
Rêver, murmurer, dire
Solo recording by French trombonist Christiane Bopp, who uses voice, mutes, bass drum and objects to turn the instrument into a field of whispers, drones, fractured melodies and sudden eruptions.
Nature's God
Believe, four Australian improvisers, Peter Farrar, Novak Manojlovic, Clayton Thomas and Laurence Pike, who also produced: free jazz momentum and creative sound making recorded in Sydney in 2023.
May
Pianist Irene Aranda's trio with saxophonist Don Malfon and vocalist Ami Yamasaki, whose echolocation vocal practice meets Malfon's extended saxophone techniques in an absorbing improvised language.
Angles 4
Martin Küchen's trio Angles, with Ingebrigt Håker Flaten and Kjell Nordeson, joined by vibraphonist Mattias Ståhl of Angles 9: four Küchen compositions recorded in Stockholm in April 2024.
3 X 1
Third album by Glass Triangle, Zeena Parkins on electric harp, Mette Rasmussen on alto saxophone and voice and Ryan Sawyer on drums: a studio session moving from delicate passages to dense, kinetic interplay.
Translúcidas Criaturas Pulsantes
Colombian reed player María Valencia, on alto saxophone and clarinet, and Argentine cornetist Leonel Kaplan in an intimate improvised duo recorded in Belgrade in 2025, patient and full of textural invention.
The Mortgage Burn
Weston Olencki's compositions for the Quebec percussion trio Bascaille: tuned fiddles, homemade zithers, watershed debris, speaker cones and an upright piano in two long pieces of friction, resonance and lopsided pulse.
Selva Oscura
Solo cello and voice by Julia Biłat, recorded live near Berlin: splintered harmonics, rough bow textures and resonant drones in improvised compositions that move like a passage through shadow.
Rosenberg Museum
Four CDs from Jon Rose's Rosenberg Museum, the decades-long project around the violin: homemade and hacked string instruments, true and invented violin stories, and 37 tracks from the museum now housed in central Australia.
Limbo
New compositions by Camila Nebbia for her sextet The Hanged One, with Julia Biłat on cello, Arne Braun on guitar and Andres Marino on electronics: intricate structures and open spaces with her tenor saxophone at the centre.
Tomaten auf den Augen
Cellist Elisabeth Coudoux and guitarist Chuck Roth, who plays unprocessed and unpedaled, in a free improvised duo of shifting densities, extended techniques and fragile silences, recorded in Philadelphia in 2025.
Puxe Means Pull
Drummer and percussionist Sofia Borges and saxophonist Yedo Gibson in a tense, searching duo recorded in Lisbon: objects, prepared sounds and tenor and soprano lines in improvisations built on texture, pressure and close listening.
Lapilli
The saxophone and drums duo Sbatax, Bertrand Denzler and Antonin Gerbal, joined by Jean-Philippe Gross on electroacoustic device: a ferocious live set from Instants Chavirés where free jazz drive meets loops, feedback and crackling interference.
...Is In the Air
Jessica Pavone's sixth solo viola album builds on the open strings and their sympathetic resonances, with electronic effects as a playing partner and guest appearances by Fred Frith on guitar and Joe Lally on bass.
Bijou
Solo guitar by Swiss improviser Florian Stoffner: six pieces he recorded himself at Bee Street studio, mixed by John Butcher, stretching the instrument's vocabulary through texture, space and spontaneous invention.
Time Machines II
Tip! When Peter “Sleazy” Christopherson passed away in 2010, he left several projects in different stages of completion. In 2014, seven of these tracks were assembled by people close to him and released as Time Machines II on a limited deluxe memory stick. The edition sold out almost immediately and has since become a collector’s item.
Despite its title, Time Machines II is very different from Coil’s 1998 drone classic. More varied in sound, it recalls instrumental Coil works such as The Restitu…
Contrary Motion
Scanner reworks an hour of Nurse with Wound material into six pieces named after homeopathic remedies: radio static, processed voices and squeaky guitars in an echoing maze. Double vinyl, the fourth side etched by Babs Santini.
Dead Mind Records Bundle
A comprehensive survey of experimental sound practices across generations, geographies, and aesthetic approaches. This four-release bundle from Dead Mind Records presents vital documents of uncompromising artistic vision: from contemporary electronic collaboration to archival excavations of ambient and industrial histories.
Musica Divina is a collaborative sound art project formed by Haare and Vincent Dallas. Rooted in long-form improvisation and environmental textures, the duo created 2 immersi…
