Tip! Jim O'Rourke and Jos Smolders teamed up again after their first collaboration, Additive Inverse from 2021. Over a period of three years, both artists worked in sessions of a day, each in their own studio.The result is sometimes like a warm cloud…
Broken Landscapes
Follow-up to Atsusaku (2016) by Gareth Davis (bass clarinet) and Merzbow. The earlier theme of mechanical compression is here extended into a meditation on the fears of mechanisation in the natural environment: North Sea wind farms, Southern Californ…
Cuspa Llullu
Second collaboration between Anla Courtis and Daniel Menche, recorded across Portland and Buenos Aires. Two side-long pieces traverse a kaleidoscopic sound labyrinth: Side A moves through metallic, multi-layered corridors in constant mutation, Side B…
States
States grew from a live-electronics setup developed by Tijs Ham (Tapage) in 2016: analogue feedback routed through digital manipulation to form a self-balancing, self-generating chaotic system, capable of producing its own deep melodic and textured m…
Focus Intensity Power
BJ Nilsen's first LP for the label, departing from his field-recording practice. Recorded during a Fall 2017 residency at Willem Twee Electronic Music Studio in Den Bosch, the five pieces document improvised sessions on modular synthesizers, tone gen…
Onder/Stroom
Title and concept play against Extrapool's short-lived Zonder Stroom programme (performances entirely without electricity). One bleak winter afternoon the trio decided to do the inverse, using every keyboard, synthesizer and piece of electronics they…
Terreng
Long-form duo work between Balázs Pándi (percussion) and Jon Wesseltoft (electronics), shaped as an open landscape of contrasts articulating space in both time and depth. The two players alternately trade and merge their instrumental identities, gene…
Saxophone Studies
Two long drone pieces built around recordings of improvised saxophone. The first is a seventeen-minute work derived from material James Fella sent Orphax in 2006: multi-layered and roughly cut, with non-harmonic multitones colliding in the room and e…
2
Second half of a two-part album by Mens and Kouw, recorded live in studio in December 2014 and following directly from the first volume. The two long-form pieces extend the duo's pursuit of precisely tuned analogue synthesis: deep, warm drone fields …
1
Mens and Kouw have worked together since 2001, when their first album emerged from the clicks 'n cuts vocabulary via raw mixer feedback recorded to minidisc and broadcast live on Amsterdam's Radio 100. The duo has since migrated into tonal and timbra…
The Hex of Light
Long-form duo work by Jon Wesseltoft and Lasse Marhaug, ongoing since 2008 as an investigation into psycho-acoustics and the phenomenology of sustained sound. The Hex of Light, recorded in 2013, consists of two stringently close-knitted pieces built …
Artefact
First album under the Codespira1 alias by Stockholm-based composer Mattias Petersson, trained in electroacoustic composition at the Royal College of Music. The project began as a vehicle for one-take electronic performances built around SuperCollider…
Various Weights
First collaboration between Frans de Waard and Martijn Comes, deliberately built without an underlying concept. Each artist supplied the other with a pool of source sounds: de Waard sent Comes Korg MS20 and Koma Field FX recordings and field material…
Quelques Instants D'éternité
First part of a new Duplant trilogy, after the pessimistic Élégie du temps présent / Sombres Miroirs / Insondables Humeurs cycle. The music remains imbued with mysticism and deep melancholy but turns toward a more luminous, hopeful register. The orga…
Haarlemmerhout
Polack returns to the park in south Haarlem made famous by Nicolaas Beets's Romantic 1839 novel Camera Obscura, and uses it as the field for an exercise in urban escapism. Local recordings (pigs from the petting zoo, birds migrating north from Africa…
Paintings
Final work in a trilogy (Sketches, Drawings, Paintings) marking Philipp Bückle's return to music after closing his Teamforest project. Recorded in 2014 across Copenhagen and Dortmund, the album combines a visually organic sensibility with experimenta…
Worn Tape
Imanishi's first album for the label, presenting eleven miniatures built from small sounds drawn from his immediate environment: paper, objects, radio, field recording, microphone. The work is abstract in vocabulary but warm and slow in effect, a del…
It Deel I
First album in IT DEEL, a multi-year project by the Kleefstra Bros (Jan Kleefstra on poetry, Romke Kleefstra on guitar) with Popfabryk, addressing the ecological degradation of Frisian nature. Each volume is composed in residency at the Thomaskerk in…

Second volume in the IT DEEL project. The Kleefstra Bros invited Norwegian duo Streifenjunko (Eivind Lønning on trumpet/electronics, Espen Reinertsen on sax/electronics) into the Thomaskerk in Katlijk, composing between improv, jazz and sound art. St…
Smolders / Delaere / Nijs
Composition trio between Jos Smolders (electronics), Guido Nijs (saxophone) and painter Koen Delaere, whose abstract pigment surfaces serve as compositional model. Five tracks named after pigments (Aureolin, Barium, Diarylide, Bianco di Titanio, Indi…
