Tela
*2026 stock. 60 copies limited edition* Tela is the full-length debut of Stockholm-based composer Simon Hansson and was recorded in April 2024. Across its four movements, waves of pulsating feedback are woven into a dense sonic fabric. The title 'Tela' refers to plain weave, or simply cloth, reflecting the intricate processes of over-under interlay that structure the material. Recursive patterns and constant iteration unfold at a glacial pace, continuing Hansson's exploration that defines his si…

Cosmos Nucleus
On Cosmos Nucleus, Carlos Garnett turns his cosmic post‑Coltrane fire into a large‑ensemble manifesto: six expansive tracks where Pharoah‑like spiritual cries, funk currents and celestial brass fanfares coalesce around the incandescent “Mystery Of Ages.”
Balladyna
On Balladyna, Tomasz Stanko leads Tomasz Szukalski, Dave Holland and Edward Vesala through seven originals that weld lyrical, Slavic melancholy to volcanic free‑jazz undercurrents, forging a 1970s European classic that still feels startlingly alive.
Il Moto delle Onde
Tip! ** Edition of 55, glass-mastered CD in handmade cover featuring a unique collage made by the artist, also includes a numbered insert and a poster - all copies are different. ** After years of activity under the pseudonym Petroglifi Solubili, Italian sound artist Loris Zecchin releases his first album under his own name - a natural evolution that coincides with some of his most accomplished and fully realised work to date. Constructed using his characteristic toolkit - contact microphones, a…
Segnale Unico di Avvio
Tip! ** Edition of 100, glass-mastered CD, includes poster ** A new face from the furthest North-East of Italy, Trieste: the city of the "bora", a powerful and relentless wind that for many of its inhabitants represents a state of mind, more than a simple typical atmospheric event. Petroglifi Solubili is the project by Loris Zecchin (Solar Ipse fanzine), born in 2021 with a simple sampler (the legendary Roland SP-404) and gradually expanded with an equipment that includes a number of synths, gui…
Athos: Echos from the Holy Mountain
Huge Tip!!! Mount Athos, known as the «Holy Mountain,» is a monastic peninsula in northeastern Greece, central to Eastern Orthodox monasticism for over a millennium. Its twenty monasteries house around 2,000 monks dedicated to prayer and worship, which songs have echoed across the Aegean Sea for centuries, heard only by visiting pilgrims, isolated from conventional time and global events. After several years of research, and several visits to the retired community, we are happy to present our ne…
Utisetur I
*200 copies limited edition* Utisetur I is the sixth album by Canadian ritual project Undirheimar. Marking the beginning of an ambitious trilogy, this new work delves deeper than ever into the project’s uncompromising spiritual and sonic vision. Utisetur I unfolds as a six-part ritual chant rooted in the ancient meditative practice of Utiseta. Stripping away all instrumentation, Undirheimar constructs the entire album exclusively from layered overtone singing, creating a dense, immersive field o…
My Garden
*200 copies limited edition* My Garden marks the culmination of a long and meticulous creative process. Over the course of many months, Hugo Champion has carefully shaped and refined each sonic element, cultivating a deeply immersive body of work that stands among his most accomplished to date.
Rooted in a lush and evocative ambient aesthetic, the album will resonate instantly with longtime followers of Cyclic Law, while remaining highly accessible to new listeners. Subtle yet insistent, these r…
Ypnos
*200 copies limited edition* “Ypnos”, the Greek word for sleep, is reinterpreted here as something far more introspective and unsettling. Within the context of this release, it evokes a state of emotional isolation and spiritual withdrawal, a descent shaped by trauma. Rather than presenting trauma in a literal or narrative form, Fractalyst translates it into a kind of aural poetry, abstract yet deeply resonant. The album avoids fixation or glorification of suffering. Instead, it unfolds as a gra…
three melodicas
Sam Andreae, Li Song, and Rory Salter are UK based artists. All of them perform and present their works in a minimalist style, and they are all noteworthy figures among current artists who take an experimental approach. As the title suggests, this work consists of four performances using three melodicas. Silence and sustained sounds produced by the instruments appear and disappear, creating single notes and harmonics. They are performances of intense concentration, and at the same time, it is a …
Un Théâtre aux yeux clos / A Theater with closed eyes
French artist The Dead Mauriacs (Olivier Prieur) has been releasing many works based on a collage style. This album is the second release on zappak. "Un Théâtre aux yeux clos / A Theater with closed eyes" is based on a quite minimal collage style. There are some spaces like silence, and subtle electro-acoustic sounds are placed quite carefully. They sometimes whisper and other times roar. In between 45 minutes the curtain falls and rises, you might see a play that you have never experienced befo…
Silent Portrait
On Silent Portrait, City of Dawn distils their ambient language into a single, weightless frame: soft‑focus drones and hushed harmonics deepened by Marisa Grijalva’s bass shadings, mastered into luminous stillness and wrapped in equally contemplative artwork.
Piano Solo
It happens very rarely that you can praise a records without any reservations, this is the case here!!! A lot of ink has flowed across the page since the Vogue/Swing release (1955) of that founding solo record. The repertoire was made up of pieces that Thelonious was playing in New York over that period, but in trio or with a quartet, here his music shows nakedness, i should say crudeness, whisch is completely overwhelming. It is a balck and white photograph of what is happening inside Monk's he…
Des Femmes Disparaissent
Art Blakey was the new hero on the Paris jazz scene, thanks to his Olympia concert on November 22nd 1958, and his subsequent appearances at the Club St. Germain. People swore by his 'Blues March' and 'Moanin', so why not get him to do the soundtrack for the film Molinaro just finished? The only problem, albeit a major one, was that time was short, so an original score was out of the question: the Jazz Messengers would have to preach the good word by other means. Fortunately, the band's tenor and…
