Upcoming releases
Fantarombo
Discrepant presents Fantarombo, a new album by Giovanni Lami. While his previous works often moved through memory, residue, degradation, and dialogue with existing materials, Fantarombo takes shape as an unstable, bodily gesture. Sound is not recalled or reconstructed, but triggered, pushed, and set in motion as an active force. Lami approaches modular synthesis as a physical, hands-on practice rather than a technical exercise or display of system mastery. The modular setup becomes a responsive …
Terminal Fascination
Dark Entries release Terminal Fascination, a retrospective release of the music of Camille O’Grady, subversive artist, leather witch, punk poet, and gender saboteur. O’Grady cut her teeth in New York’s burgeoning punk scene at clubs like CBGB’s, where her band Leather Secrets would share the stage with acts like Television. She became one of the few women to be welcomed into the Mineshaft, Wally Wallace’s legendary Manhattan gay BDSM club. Towards the end of the 70s, she would trek west to San F…
Explain Yourselves
IVM Trio is made up of percussionist & composer Sébastien Forrester, producer & visual artist Mika Oki, and artist & producer Apulati Bien. All three sit within the French-Brussels axis, united by a shared love of free improvisation, sparse atmospherics and rapturous club mutations. Explain Yourselves is a genuinely exploratory record — abstraction and contemplation sit side by side, as the trio dives into the micro-precision of computer music while mirroring organic, environmental schemes. Thes…
Infangthief
Seven years after 2019’s ‘The Dusk Loom’, Petrels returns with a pair of new albums, Infangthief and Outfangthief. The first of these releases, Infangthief, was originally written and recorded in 2022, before being reworked in light of a subsequent album, Outfangthief, due to be released later this year. The two albums act as companion pieces, mirrors revealing facets of the other, overlapping in sound and subject matter. Though Outfangthief may have been written after Infangthief, it is no mere…
Channel 4
*250 copies limited edition* First release from Channel 4, a new Berlin–London based quartet. Emerging from the duo Paroxysm (Werner Dafeldecker & Roy Carroll), whose work has been developing since 2019. The group grew out of a 2025 Ireland tour with saxophonist John Butcher and was completed after a London concert and recording session with violinist Angharad Davies.
Drawing on decades of shared history — including Dafeldecker and Butcher’s long collaboration in the influential group Polwechsel…
aground
*250 copies limited edition* At low tide boats near the shore are no longer carried by the water but rest aground. Only after high tide recurs do they function in the way they are intended to. Boats may touch ground while approaching the shore at unknown depths. This is something to be avoided in order to keep the boat sound and safe. A boat moving towards the shore where the ground comes nearer and nearer was the image for me at the time of writing the score. It became the title of the piece – …
A Grey City With Its Beast
*50 copies limited edition* »A Grey City With Its Beast« is a solo recording for choor khuur, composed and performed by Anqi Liu and recorded in San Diego in 2026. The choor khuur is an older Mongolian bowed instrument related to the morin khuur, yet it has its own construction and behaviour: a skin-covered body, horsehair strings and bow, a sound peg, and a Mongolian knife inserted between the bridge and body permit minute adjustments of tuning and timbre. Temperature, humidity, pressure, and t…
Del Soffio
Like a breath that expands and slowly fades away, “Del Soffio”, Aniello Perduto’s debut for Maple Death Records, takes shape as a single composition lasting just under fifty minutes, stemming from an open score performed at the prestiguous AngelicA | Music Research Center. Amid echoes of European free jazz, electroacoustic improvisation, minimalism, and contemporary music, the trio brings to life an essential and instinctive sound in which every sonic gesture is guided by mutual listening while …
Temporary
Berlin-based Dutch-Italian composer and musician Aimée Portioli aka Grand River presents the new album Temporary, returning to the renowned Editions Mego label with her most expansive and focused LP yet. Rooted in existential ideas of impermanence and flux, Temporary is a deeply emotive work centred on the rich interplay between resonant guitar work and innovative electronics. Written in the wake of profound personal grief and loss, the album sees Portioli infuse her music with a raw, expressive…
Hildegard: Vision in Vision
*200 copies limited eidtion* Boston based The Pandora Consort, a dynamic force in early music, is excited to release a 16-work album of their sought-after concert program, Hildegard Reanimated: Vision in Vision (Hildegard Von Bingen) with a dedicated performance recorded in the stunning acoustic Sanctuary space at Epsilon Spires in Brattleboro, Vermont. The release is a collaborative effort of Sedimental, The Pandora Consort and Epsilon Spires with In-Situ Polyculture Commons who sponsored the p…
Half of Dust
*200 copies limited edition* Wolfe's debut solo LP documents the personal and distinct sound and approach equally to both her abstract sonic instrumental meditations and her understated and haunting song craft and guitar playing. The release, to be experienced as a whole, melds the deeply personal and the cosmically timeless in a complete and holistic way. Amber Wolfe is best known as one half of Zizia (w/ Jarrod Fowler) including their collaboration Pisaura with Michael Pisaro-Liu released on S…
Sion Transcriptions
Window into the performance of someone else’s hands, traced and cut up in pieces, computer-aidedrecomposition into never-ending patterns, hocketed between worn keys and machines, the spacesounding in answer. I’m wondering what the Alps above the Val d’Anniviers are up to, moving when noone’s looking, approaching and receding, their parallax caught by melody, valley bells sing in antiphony,transmitting their beautiful view. Arranged into four parts, Sion Transcriptions’ skips, splices, and dances…
Nonalith
“This album resulted (like many things) from experimentation, and actually from composing etudes formyself to practice justly-tuned chords. From that starting point I began to think about space, not justspace like the silence around sound events, but also the hollow, resonant spaces in my sinuses andmouth, and the space where the sounds were recorded, or the space where the sounds were listened to.I wanted to show the many colors of the sounds, even the hidden ones, like Pauline Oliveros who sai…
Studies in Tonality*
This is a set of improvised studies made on the Clavemusicum Omnituonum, a harpsichord designed in1606 by Trasunto with 31 keys per octave. With this 2016 copy made by Markus Krebs for Studio31(Basel), I let the music unfold out of the gestures the hands were able to make thanks to the newpossibilities - and obstacles - created by such a keyboard. As a classically trained harpsichordist, Irelished the opportunity to fully embrace the oblique angles opened up by the keyboard’s disorientinglayout,…
Walk in Praise of All Metals
Recorded in rural eastern Washington State, Walk in Praise of All Metals reflects the raw expanses of the‘Channel Scablands’, a region which gladly bares the scars of ancient volcanism, ice age floods, &hydroelectric power. Like the landscape—born of cataclysm, yet steady in its austerity, the music speaksthrough sustained resonance and momentary intersections. Structure emerges through sharedharmonics, with passages from Matt Sargent’s re-tuned guitar (13-Limit just intonation) activatingsympat…
The Great Liberation Through Hearing
The Great Liberation Through Hearing (1995) is scored for amplified, just-tuned string quartet and digitallytransformed human voice. Generated from a phonetic analysis of the names of Buddhist deities describedin The Tibetan Book of the Dead, the piece explores connections between Eastern mantric science andWestern linguistic structuralism. It brings together the compositional linguistics of Kenneth Gaburo andthe intonational theories of Harry Partch through two simultaneous mappings of the anal…
Patterns
Inner Channel lands on Indefinite Boundary with the surrealist Patterns EP – an immersive tour of polyrhythms, fourth-world analog synthesis and wasteland jazz processed through an unfiltered view of reality. Patterns builds on and expands from Inner Channel’s debut release Culture On Wind, released in 2024 on Diskotopia, with more nuanced instrumentation, hypnagogic production and monistic lyrical avenues.
Cutting a salient path from the winding intersections of no-wave, dub, and outer-dimensio…
Today's Special
On Today’s Special, Hanne Lippard and Renato Grieco turn speech into score and accompaniment into acoustic typography. Reduced, exacting compositions for voice, viola da gamba, piano and Wurlitzer shadow the rhythm and contour of language, transforming wordplay, online debris and intimate anecdotes into a dryly comic, strangely moving suite of musical rhetoric.
Live at the KiMo Theater Albuquerque 1979
On Live at the KiMo Theater Albuquerque 1979, Cecil Taylor leads a newly reconfigured Unit through a rare Western American performance of volatile grace and immense detail. Piano, alto saxophone, violin, bass, cello and multi-instrumental percussion form a shifting, luminous organism - less gladiatorial than Taylor’s 1978 bands, but no less radical in its freedom.
Live at Pageant : Soloveev
The date was May 10th, 2025: a warm spring day in Philadelphia, and a damned hot night over at Bainbridge and 6th. Inside the Pageant Soloveev gallery an evening of music presented by Open Mouth Records was escalating fast. Sharing the bill were Strapping Fieldhands’ Jacy Webster (a rare live appearance!), living legend Roger Clark Miller (Mission of Burma 5eva!) and, right in the goddamn middle, Body/Head’s Bill Nace + Purling Hiss’ Mike Polizze faced off in a taishogoto/guitar duo for the very…
