The Eraserhead. Music Inspired by the Film of David Lynch
*100 copies limited edition* When Eraserhead premiered in 1977, it didn’t just mark the beginning of David Lynch’s singular career—it rewired the language of underground cinema. A nightmarish journey through industrial decay, existential dread, and fractured identity, the film remains one of the most haunting works ever committed to celluloid. Shot in stark black and white, Eraserhead unfolds like a fever dream—where sound, space, and emotion bleed into one another in an uncanny, hypnotic dance.…

Meditate & Destroy + The Window
Special discounted bundle. Two essential releases from Les Disques Omnison redefining the boundaries of contemporary experimental music. On one side, HWYUIOD with The Window: ambient drift and processed sounds floating somewhere between the meditative expanses of Éliane Radigue, the expansive minimalism of early Kranky releases (Labradford, Stars of the Lid),and kraut-rock heritage, where post-rock textures merge with avant-garde electronics. On the other, Barzabal & Gatier with Meditate & Destr…

Pure Scandinavian melancholy—essential contemporary ambient.
Copkiller (Original Soundtrack)
Morricone's elusive 1983 score emerges remastered from original tapes. Featuring Johnny Rotten and Harvey Keitel, this psychedelic, percussion-heavy crime thriller soundtrack anticipates industrial music aesthetics while showcasing the composer's urban paranoia mastery. A crucial missing link in his evolution.
Indagine Su Un Cittadino Al Di Sopra Di Ogni Sospetto (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
Ennio Morricone's subversive 1970 masterpiece finally emerges in full stereo after 55 years. This restored edition of Indagine su un Cittadino al di Sopra di Ogni Sospetto reveals the composer's deliberately "imperfect" instrumentation—out-of-tune piano, mandolin, synthesizer—as radical social commentary. Essential archival triumph.
Garden Variety
"Garden Variety" explores interdependence and intimacy through the emergent behavior of percussion instruments. Inspired by Anne Carson’s concept of Eros, the series blurs sonic identities, creating a composite instrument from motion. Amplification invites listeners into a tactile, resonant sound world.

Hyperboréen
With Hyperboréen, we set sail for a dreamy, fantastical North, where the cold and the distant call for contemplation. Six other musicians accompany us on this journey. This strong atmosphere of mental and literary images resonated with the recording - isolated in the heart of the Puisaye countryside - of the six tracks on the album. The sounds of the instruments are deconstructed and reassembled in a process akin to electroacoustic editing, while they are joined by sounds from elsewhere, produce…

You're Beautiful
*100 copies limited edition* 'You're Beautiful' is the fantastical album of Berlin-based artist Laurén Maria. Part singer-songwriter ballads, part experimental collages, part poignant distortion-laden anthems, the album is like a journey of strange encounters in a mysterious woodland. Maria's mystical voice is our companion on this adventure, sometimes vulnerable, front and centre, at other times heavily processed and part of the fabric of the forest. On songs like "Zephyr" featuring Ludwig Wand…
Unusual Suggestions
Tip! *150 copies limited edition* L'eau des fleurs is happy to release this impressive homemade Gesamtskuntwerk by Finnish artist Jani Hirvonen. For these "Unusual suggestions", Jani, who did also this marvelous artwork, played himself all the instruments : percussions, kalimba, violin, radio, balalaïka, flute, kantele, electronic effects... These uncommon suggestions seemed endless. You can listen here and there some remains of avant-folk shapes but actually this LP is totally idiosyncratic in…
