Recorded live in Birmingham during a Contemporary Music Network tour in 2002, Tramonto finds UK pianist John Taylor (1942-2015) in celebratory, outgoing mood, fronting one of his most dynamic and quick-witted groups, with US musicians Marc Johnson and Joey Baron – the energetic team that would later collaborate on the critically-lauded ECM recording Rosslyn. Here the repertoire features the well-known Taylor tunes “Pure and Simple”, “Between Moons” and “Ambleside” (heard in an epic 15 minute…
*2025 stock* A cross-generation and cross-genre collaboration bringing together two musicians who share a common city of origin and who find a common music thread in their distinct backgrounds. This beautifully recorded set of piano and bass duets and solos from the summer of 2023 in Athens, Greece, features a mix of original compositions and improvisations.
*2025 stock* The spark for this project was the release of the newly discovered 1965 Hasaan recording Metaphysics (Omnivore, 2021). Upon hearing these beautiful compositions by Hasaan, I immediately felt the need to transcribe and understand them. For the recording I felt compelled to present them alongside pieces by Monk and Hope, who, like Hasaan, stood out for their brilliant—yet unorthodox—writing and their highly personal approach to playing the piano. The two elder pianists also had a clos…
The influence of Alvin Lucier’s work on acoustic phenomena and the interplay between sound and space is difficult to overstate. His legacy continues to echo through the work of countless composers and sound artists today. Lucier’s music is marked by a sense of childlike wonder and sonic simplicity - shifting our perception from what we hear to how we listen.At the heart of his compositions lies the sine wave: the purest, most elemental form of sound. Clarinetist Dries Tack pays tribute to this …
Water can retain or wash away memory; flowing or freezing. It gives life and shapes earth, while frozen imprints of an ancient past are waiting to melt – back into sound or fluid motion, or simply to dissipate and disappear. For their split release, Yoichi Kamimura and Olli Aarni offer two distinct reinterpretations of a performance recorded live at the Temppeliaukio Kirkko – a church in Helsinki built directly into solid rock and bathed in natural light – meditating on glacial landscapes and wa…
*22 copies limited edition* To paraphrase Éliane Radigue's famous double 7" record, the two discs you hold in your hands are designed to be listened to either separately or simultaneously, synchronously or asynchronously. Similarly, the sides of these two discs can be played at any speed and in either direction. It is also permissible to scratch the record, block the arm to form a loop, intervene freely... The only limit is that set by your turntable.
For those who enjoy listening to music diff…
*2025 stock. 200 copies limited edition* And the cloud passes overhead. A drone crosses, reminding us of the whole summer outside. You just have to look up. Over the wall, can’t you see the courtyard and the hill covered with pines, at the base of which lie ancient barns that have better withstood the test of time than the castle. The fountain’s jet still makes its noise in the basin, under the gray stone watchtower. From here, the path always leads to Grand’rive under the damp cover of the beec…

*2025 stock. 43 copies limited edition* MMLI proudly presents Lore, the latest sonic offering from Cigve, an artist whose work folds shadowed textures, forgotten myths, and fractured harmonies into an immersive listening experience.
Both austere and deeply emotive, Lore moves between spectral ambience, brittle dissonance, and moments of fragile melodic clarity. The work feels as though it has been unearthed from an ancient archive, where memory and invention blur. Each track evokes the sensati…

*300 copies limited edition* Murder Corporation returns with a brand new full album after about 10 years of silence. You know exactly what to expect from such Italian monster! Harsh & Sharp Maniac Killer sounds... If you need more words, you don't need this album!
Vagabondage comes from my idle wandering through the city and my inner relationship with it - where the unexpected takes me – I take it - desire driven. Assuming the discourse between the ruins of my memory and my present idleness, I seek to let the events influence my choices in a way they unfold from this relation between my personal history and reflected in my music through my interaction with the city.
This album was recorded in three different places of Lisbon: SMUP, Desterro and Casa do Co…
In a spontaneous studio session, alto saxophonist Tim Berne met fellow saxophonist Masayo Koketsu and percussionist Nava Dunkelman for the first time, setting the stage for an improvisational encounter full of contrasts and surprising cohesion. Berne’s rich, dynamic tone, provided a grounded foundation, while Koketsu's innovative use of extended techniques and breathy, ethereal sounds—challenged the space with a more experimental edge.
Dunkelman, with her textural percussion, wove between the tw…
*2025 stock* The project is a musical composition that employs the technique of deriving and expanding upon the fragmentary. It is an investigation that is, in advance, lost in the midst of stories that come back again and again, told in disorder, illuminated from other angles or revealed by new links. Les Mortes is a sonic saga that brings together three musical ensembles with different aesthetics navigating among these bits and pieces of a whole of which we have only the echo.
Stories of a fun…

The Residents are an American art collective best known for their over 60 studio albums that were recorded over a period of over forty years. They also created some outstanding multimedia works, mainly three CD ROM projects and more than ten DVDs. Charles Bock was a pseudonym that Hardy Fox, co-founder and primary composer for the group, used from 2012 to 2017. About a dozen albums were released using that name until Fox started using his real name for his solo recordings. "GOD O" was the openin…

Multi-instrumentalist, visual artist, and scene creator, Jonathan Uliel Saldanha, has been releasing music under various guises for two decades.

Ever synthetic and digital, Uliel Saldanha's work-ethic never eases—having recently started a label of his own, Horror…
