Which is the more productive situation for improvisation: the shock of the first time encounter, unhindered by history or habit, or the long-term association and the evolution of more complex interactions? It's an unresolved, perhaps even undecidable, question. This recording brings together four improvisers together in a multi-layered situation which combines multiple permutations of the untried and the familiar. The four had never all played together before but the quartet contains various his…

'Murdúchann’: Where layered vocal transformations summon siren songs and sonic phantoms from within the source. The word ‘Murdúchann’ comes from a Middle Irish word evoking a siren-like being—a sea singer or mermaid. It derives from ‘muir’ (sea) and ‘dúchann’ (chant, song). The singing melodies said to hold sway over seamen were characteristic of the sirens of classical mythology—likely imported into Irish literature via Homer’s Odyssey. "Over the past decade I have been working with a vast sour…

Visionaries in Mexico have sought ways to look beyond the stars for millennia. Ancient civilizations like the Maya and Aztecs designed their cities as gigantic star maps, orienting their buildings to mark equinoxes, solstices, and zenith passages. This inquisitive form of meaning-making through art has long been endangered—first by Spanish colonizers; then by the Mexican government’s throttling of artistic expression in the late 20th century; and now by the violent anti-Mexican sentiments of the…

*100 copies limited edition, black vinyl* In continuation of our deep-dive into the diamond vaults of US Prog, it is with great pleasure that we bring you the first reissue of the 2 ultra rare albums by the Detroit-based October. This is a deliciously eclectic combo of sonic explorers whose recorded testament consists of a string of pebbles that crystalized in a collectively interminable quest for that eccentrically elusive eureka moment. Fueled by King Crimson and Yes, but also by the improvis…

The mighty Argentine progsters Bubu make a triumphant comeback with their 3rd and final album El Ultimo Cortejo. Composed in part based on notes discovered by the band’s mastermind Daniel Andreoli in his parents’ basement, dating back to the Anabelas (1976) period, and in part on newly infused sonic elements by the evergreen lineup that boasts some of the finest upcoming musicians from Buenos Aires’ rampant neoprog scene, El Ultimo Cortejo carves new pathways in Bubu’s evolutionary trajectory by…

*300 copies limited edition* Berlin-based percussionist and vocalist Teresa Riemann presents Can I stare at you publicly?, a new collection of solo works for percussion and voice. The pieces are meticulously composed, while their origins lie in improvisation, and improvisation remains part of the way Riemann performs them. The compositions stay open, allowing her to interpret them differently each time and keeping the music in a state of movement rather than fixing it into a final form. On “The …

Aux Armes returns with Siege, a merciless and deeply charged new album released by Minneapolis-based label Phage Tapes. Built from punishing industrial electronics, stark rhythmic structures, and an atmosphere of permanent confrontation, Siege is music shaped by endurance. Its nine tracks move through tension, resistance, sacrifice, and remembrance, balancing mechanical force with a stark emotional weight. There is no release from the pressure: every pulse feels like a warning, every repetition …

Last year, the long-awaited self-titled debut finally appeared on vinyl. Now the series continues with Enter Now The World, the second album by Jouni Havukainen's project. Originally released by Cold Meat Industry in 1992, it remains, for many listeners, the project's masterpiece. The elements that defined In Slaughter Natives were already present on the debut. On Enter Now The World, everything became larger, heavier and more detailed. Thunderous percussion, heavy electronics, brass and string …

Martin Pyne’s new release, the double album Trios, focuses on his unique approach to the vibraphone. The album places his playing in the context of two contrasting trio lineups. In Vampire Coast Trio Martin is joined by one of his favourite drummers, Johnny Hunter, along with the extraordinary double bass player Michael Bardon. Together they make music with a truly transparent texture, full of both space and sonic detail together with richly lyrical melody and counterpoint. Martin says, “Michael…

Open Up The Door is the sixth release from Das Rad, and continues our group’s progression from studio based instrumental music to live performance unit - featuring the sublime voice of Peter Rophone alongside the multi instrumental talents of the other players. Some years ago Martin Archer came up with the term Improg for this music – progressive rock music rooted in group improvisation, but brought to fruition through extensive post production editing and arrangement. Almost all of this album w…

Manara is a trio that emerged from a love of poetry, a shared interest in the musical traditions of the Middle East and poetry as political resistance. The musicians had worked together before separately – Alya and Khabat performed together in Suleimaniyah, Iraqi Kurdistan as part of the Space 21 Festival, and Alya and Pat have improvised together in several ensembles over the past decade. Alya had arrived at a time where she was desperate to explore the performance of more poetry in her mother …
