Un Hombre De Buenos Aires
Jazz, funk, and bossa vibes kiss each other, all wrapped up in JLR's trademark cinematic feel. In his colourful Un Hombre de Buenos Aires, recorded in 1978, JLR puts the political outcry of his early 70s works aside and focuses on his love for the city of Buenos Aires. Jorge López Ruiz gets far less credit than he deserves. His crucial role in shaping Argentina's jazz history should place him right next to Gato Barbieri and Lalo Schifrin, who found success abroad. It's an honour do dig deeper in…
necesse est numquam revelare stercorem tuum
Michael Speers and Luciano Maggiore make music contemplating the kernel of black metal.
Hand Signals
*2023 stock* Since reactivating in the wake of the essential 2009 archival BUFMS box set, 'Induced Musical Spasticity', Bren't Lewiis Ensemble have released more than 40 titles of the finest avant ear wonk around. Much of this activity has proceeded with relatively little fanfare. Perhaps the number of releases is intimidating to some, or maybe well-adjusted society simply has little need for (in their own words) "screeches, recitations, injured vocalizations, inexplicable flurries of bleeps, bl…

In contrast, "Moss King" is a smaller, more intimate affair, full of fuzzy new age moog drifters and self-c…
Carpet Cocoon
*2023 stock* Iceblink is a homespun, intimate project conjured by Lynn Avery in Minneapolis. As a trans woman, everything she creates is about her experience and Lynn describes "Carpet Cocoon" as her comfort album, music to retreat to in the winter. Informed by her passion for mixtapes, oddities and crate digging blogs, the album is eclectic yet cohesively spun around the aesthetic of a bedroom new age album. Sonically, it has a fuzzy and rounded vibe incorporating nylon string guitars through v…
Interdimensional Generated Space
Tip! *Limited edition of 200 copies.* As per Marta Zapparoli own words: " After a long research focused on the Natural Radio phenomena (VLF) coming from the Northern Lights, I realized a live performance that inevitably inspired me to compose a piece for this release. The piece is composed with recordings I made in Norway mixed with studio recordings, using a self made crystal radio, in combination with a specific light, detectors, motors, and antennas, to simulate a technological audio version …

With a short story by English comics writer John Reppion and narration by UK voiceover artist Peter Baker. NPNB provide the score for a sweet-but-creepy, femme fatale parable in the '70s English folk horror style.

Níjar
Less than a year after the release of the album Rade, Paolo Angeli surprises with the sounds of his orchestral guitar, putting them at the service of a classic of Spanish literature: Bodas de Sangre, by Federico García Lorca. Níjar - recorded for the most part in the same studio session as the previous album and completed in February 2023 - goes back to the roots, that is, to the chronicle event that inspired the poet to write the work and that, in fact, took place in Níjar, in Andalusia. The Sa…
Transmissions From The Radio Midnight
Tip! *200 copies limited edition* This project, entitled Transmissions From The Radio Midnight, started around 2006, when I acquired a Sony TCM F59 — an AM/FM radio and cassette recorder combined in a slim, handheld body. Since then, whenever I went on a trip, I would throw it into my suitcase and take it around with me. No matter which country I was in, upon returning to the hotel room I made a habit of listening to the radio into the late hours of the night. As soon as I would snuggle into bed…
In The Afternoon
e is sky is a collective born out of these first collaborations between Melbourne based experimental composer Corin, electronic-pop musician Sui Zhen and music producer Casey Hartnett. They create score and sound design to tell stories and convey moods, connecting with art, film, multimedia, cultural artefacts, places, spaces and people. Where previously this music could only be heard via a location-aware app we now invite listeners to engage with the pieces outside of the gallery setting.

Guitar Cultures
Tom Mudd follows up Brass Cultures with another collection of genre pushing electronic music. Sitting between the hermetic focus of Bill Orcutt’s solo guitar recordings and Autechre at their most abstract, this is an album of forward thinking and richly evocative music. Mudd moves between impossible technical sketches in the vein of Derek Bailey to more considered harmonic works, that although created with algorithms and code presents a sound world full of humanity and imperfections. On Guitar C…
