November 89
The album ‘November 89’ comprises a selection of very early GAS tracks, some of which date back to the late 1980s. They were first released in 2008 as a CD insert in the art book ‘Wolfgang Voigt GAS’, published on Raster-Noton.
Just like the photographs in the book, these pieces are early precursors that would evolve in the ensuing years with the albums ‘Zauberberg’ and ‘Königsforst’ into a style-defining, audiovisual “Gesamtkunstwerk” (total work of art) comprising hypnotically focused forest i…
Around Here, The Birds Plant The Trees
A blackbird at dawn inspired a living score: Natalia Beylis’ work, ‘Around Here, The Birds Plant The Trees’, is a 52-minute longform journey about land stewardship grown from the sounds and textures of a single field in Leitrim, Ireland. This recording of 'Around Here, The Birds Plant The Trees' captures the piece as it existed on Friday 12 December 2025. I mention a specific date, because the score for this work is constantly shifting and provides a new variation each time it is played, echoing…
Satori
*2026 repress!!* The Flower Travellin' Band's first musical outing, Challenge, was released in 1970 and was essentially a series of covers of Cream, Hendrix, Big Brother and Jefferson Airplane material. However, Satori appeared a year later and forever changed the way the group would be perceived, both in Japan and in the musical world at large. Possessing the vision to select Akira "Joe" Yamanaka as their vocalist, the Flower Travellin' boys elevated themselves above other Japanese bands of the…

St. John Green
The album “St. John Green” is the only release by the American band of the same name, and is regarded as a minor cult classic of 1960s psychedelia. It was released in 1968 by the small label Flick-disc. Released at the height of the flower power era, the record perfectly captures the musical and cultural atmosphere of the late 1960s. The album blends various elements typical of psychedelia with sonic experimentation, garage lysergic influences and a free-spirited approach to songwriting.
Stone Angel
“Stone Angel” is the self-titled album by the English folk group Stone Angel, released in 1971 on Seashell record. The group hailed from the rural counties of Suffolk and Norfolk, and the album deeply reflects that setting: deeply rooted traditional English folk, but with a psychedelic touch typical of the era. Simple acoustic arrangements (guitar, dulcimer, female vocals),intimate and pastoral atmospheres, featuring ballads and ancient melodies, a slight ‘acid folk’ vein, similar to bands such …
Six or Seven Ways Towards Becoming Undone
The duo of Camila Nebbia and Chris Corsano brings together two fiercely creative voices from the international improvised music scene. Nebbia’s searching tenor saxophone lines meet Corsano’s explosive, highly textural percussion in a set of spontaneous exchanges of raw expression. Their music moves fluidly between delicate detail and surging intensity, driven by deep listening and fearless experimentation. The result is a striking dialogue where every gesture reshapes the sonic landscape in real…
Studio Recording
The new release by Ochibonoame captures the trio’s raw and searching approach. With Makoto Kawashima on alto saxophone, Louis Inage on bass, and Naoto Yamagishi on drums and percussion, the group navigates the volatile terrain of silence and eruptive energy. Their music unfolds as an intuitive dialogue, where fragility and abrasive sonic bursts collide in real time. The result is a deeply visceral document of spontaneous creation, rooted in the underground spirit of Japan’s improvised music scen…
Vi la pampa arder
The trio of Luciana Bass, Ezequiel Jaime, and Federico Isasti brings together three distinctive voices from Argentina's adventurous improvised music scene. Centered on Bass’s expressive sonic palette, their music is both volatile yet deeply attentive, fueled by Jaime’s exploratory playing and Isasti’s highly responsive drumming. They move freely between sparse textures and intricate collective energy. This release documents a trio deeply attuned to one another, forging form and intensity in the …
Distractions for Trumpet & Ajaeng
On Distractions for Trumpet & Ajaeng two radically distinct instrumental traditions converge in a study of texture, fragility, and focus. Kelley’s whisper-quiet trumpet tones and microscopic bursts of air intertwine with Kim’s bowed ajaeng, its coarse, resonant grain stretching and splintering in real time. The result is a taut, immersive dialogue that transforms subtle gestures into seismic events and invites listeners into a heightened space of deep listening and unpredictable detail.
M.U.U.N.H. 31.04.1982 + A Journey Through Sound, Silence and Return
Bringing page and tape into the same charged zone, this bundle pairs A Journey Through Sound, Silence and Return with M.U.U.N.H. 31.04.1982, uniting Maurizio Bianchi’s most ascetic industrial vortex with Raffaele Pezzella’s definitive monograph. Together they form a single, immersive dossier on sound as extremity, withdrawal and unresolved return.
A Journey Through Sound, Silence and Return (Monograph) (Book)
Few figures in experimental music embody rupture as completely as Maurizio Bianchi. A Journey Through Sound, Silence and Return traces his arc from ferocious early industrial extremism to a radical withdrawal and enigmatic comeback, revealing an artistic ethic where creation, renunciation and re-emergence form one continuous, troubling gesture.
M.U.U.N.H. 31.04.1982
Recorded at a pivotal moment in his trajectory, M.U.U.N.H. 31.04.1982 captures Maurizio Bianchi refining sound into a stark environment rather than a composition. Static yet volatile, it strips electronics to bare impulses, anticipating isolationist ambient and dark drone while remaining rooted in the brutal materiality of early industrial experimentation.
War Poem
On War Poem, Chris Connelly turns antique tape machines into artillery: a single, accidental loop blooms into side‑long, grief‑stricken immersion, where scorched industrial sonics and stark anti‑war outrage fuse into something brutally intense and unnervingly beautiful.
Tomorrow
TBM is proud to present Tomorrow, the new piano trio album by Hideo Ichikawa, a musician defined by two distinctive facets: the consummate technical pianist and the composer whose work shines through innovative, lyrical expression.
