Why I Went To The Woods
With "Why I Went To The Woods", I retreated once again into my hauntological dream worlds. With the woods being the place one traditionally goes to clear one's head, I went there with these recordings to fortify myself with a deliberate rejection of the Now. Inspired equally by both the fictional filmed landscapes of psychedelic folk - the bucolic British countryside of the 1960s and 1970s which, though I've never witnessed in real life, still fill me with an inexplicable melancholic yearning to…
Creature Comforts
I started recording "Creature Comforts" with 'Allegiance' on the night of November 4th, as the election results were coming in. I found myself craving lullabies, but ugly and reflective ones, that saw the world with an acute sense of horror and bewilderment and bereavement. Lullabies that didn't protect me from these feelings - or rather did protect me, but did so through immersion. I finished recording on March 10th of 2025. Visual inspiration came from a series of mixed-media works by my gifte…
A Replica Screams
Welcoming elusive Japanese guitarist, Kouhei Fukuzumi, for his 3rd solo full-length as Ultrafog. ‘A Replica Screams’ emerges as a collection of drifting memories, a chain reaction of unique combinations of elements already present in the World. It embraces the idea that existence itself is positively shaped by serendipity and meaningful coincidences, and that we are all falling together, in time, and on time. The vinyl edition contains an original artwork poster presenting João Bragança Gil’s ‘T…
La Nouvelle Européenne Et Autres Territoires Affranchis Politiquement Trash
*100 copies limited edition* « In 2025, can we still be interested in and write about the music of a band of French musicians, very “underground” who were very young at the time in the early 1970s? » writes Xavier Béal at the opening of his review of Ian Thompson's brand new book "Synths, Sax & Situationists (The French Musical Underground 1968-1978)" in the webzine Rythmes Croisés (published on October 24, 2025).
The answer is certainly yes! And although the name of Pascal Chassin is still almo…
From Island to Island
Weaving a transient web, a dreamatorium with its own agenda thoroughly concerned about space—in—between, From island to island is a subtle sonification of deep musicality, real and surreal journeys, and a giant Maelström hiding the unknown multiverse. Invitation for the descent is open, but whether those journeys are imaginary or not, one thing is certain—both Anja Lauvdal and Manja Ristić must take the ferry home.
„Though separated by the sea between Croatia and Norway, the two artists have dev…
How Much Can We Understand
*2025 stock* "Fero Király's How Much Can We Understand maps out some of the foggy territory where technological systems intersect with organic complexity. The album's two sidelong tracks were generated using “a cellular automaton with code 357”, a computational model where simple rules applied to a grid of cells produce intricate evolving patterns that echo the inexplicability of natural phenomena. The result is as much a feat of cold engineering as a tender ode to musical minimalism. On side on…

Alexandra Cihanská Machová is a composer, electronic musician and sound artist from Slovakia. She has strong and persistent interest in rigorous listening to the world as a fundamental outlet for understanding and connection, leaning towards sonic ecology and politics, non-technocentric field recording, and exploring emotion in a post-digital environment.
z DNA
*2025 stock* "The latest album by innovative Slovak composer, Barbora Tomášková, offers a unique suite of sounds, where boundaries between acoustic traditions and exploratory electronics dissolve. The Slovak composer and performer’s practice revolves around innovative use of ’objets trouvé’ and western classical instruments via hefty electronic manipulations and many extended techniques. Taking its name from both the less common and stable form of DNA and the Slovak term for “from the bottom”, Z…
Robin Diamond's Lungs
An act of concentration rendered explosive, Debt of Nature’s Robin Diamond’s Lungs lunges at complacency, fusing short-form assaults with caustic wit. The album is a lungful of serrated textures, stuttering rhythms, and a throughline of existential urgency, driving headlong into the contours of disillusion and revolt.
Cybernetic Defiance and Orgasm
This anthology is the second compilation from EM Records of the works of the late Henry Kawahara, a media artist and electronic music producer who was particularly active in the Japanese cyber-occult underground of the 1990s, a scene linked with technologies such as 3D (binaural) recordings, brain machines, sound chairs, computer graphics and compact discs.
These tracks, produced 1990-95, include a series of recordings described as "Parallel Data Sounds" and "Sound LSD", a "new language system t…

On his solo album entitled 'Bower' 𝗔rto van Roey searches for mesmerizing fingerpicking patterns that evoke dense sound tapestries full of harmonics, with a fanatic urge to experimen…
Old Tales Retold
Austere and uncanny, Old Tales Retold finds Yan Jun and Taku Unami delving into narrative fragmentation and acoustic twilight, constructing an album that feels less like a recounting and more like listening in on the pulse of folklore as it dissolves. Sonic atmosphere fractures as much as it reveals, leaving the listener suspended between recollection and anticipation.
Independent Television
Independent Television unspools as a delirious, inside-out broadcast from the suburbs of perception. Arek Gulbenkoglu and Matthew Revert orchestrate a hall-of-mirrors soundtrack where the casual and the uncanny trade places, inviting listeners to attune themselves to the mutable psychic frequencies flickering just beyond the edge of comprehension.
Red Sky At Night

Between heritage and experimentation, the group deploys a groove from elsewhere: a…
Never Forget Me
Never Forget Me is the second release on EM Records from Angkanang Kunchai, one of the greatest Thai singers; the original 1979 vinyl release, now extremely rare, was a collection of her self-produced songs, backed by her own band. This radically independent stance, though admirable, caused the album to languish in relative obscurity, due to her lack of support from the business masters of the Thai music scene of the time. "Never Forget Me" is a plea to her fans, and although the original album …
