Uranian Void
Uranian Void by Jessika Kenney is a radiant synthesis of voice, mystic poetry, and Javanese gamelan textures. Recorded in Los Angeles and produced by Kou Records, the album entwines Persian and Indonesian texts in a transcendent meditation on annihilation, devotion, and rebirth, revealing Kenney’s voice as both ritual conduit and cosmic instrument.
Tulpa
Tulpa by Charmaine Lee transforms voice, electronics, and feedback into a vivid organism of noise, song, and silence. Produced by Randall Dunn and released on her label Kou Records, the album bends improvised vocal gestures into sculptural form—an intimate encounter between body and circuitry that questions where identity begins and resonance ends.

Ratsnake by Chloe Kim is a daring solo percussion suite that channels years of improvisational research into a visceral, highly personal language.

Hard Ware
Patrick Cowley’s Hard Ware is a ten-track time capsule from the late disco era, weaving together raw synth grooves, industrial textures, and playful electronic vamps.

Simultaneous
Simultaneous reveals Pamela Z’s fascination with the intersection of speech and music, blending voice, electronics, chamber ensemble, and video into an immersive, multi-layered exploration. Through looping, gesture control, and narrative fragments, the piece meditates on simultaneity—how overlapping events and speech form new harmonies and meaning.
Infinity Gradient
Infinity Gradient unites Tristan Perich’s meticulous 1-bit electronics and the grand timbre of James McVinnie’s pipe organ in a sustained, seven-part exploration of sonic architecture. This hour-long symphony envelops listeners in a hybrid sound world that fuses mathematical clarity with the emotive breadth of the organ, traversing austere pulses and prismatic harmonic clusters with exceptional scale and subtlety.
Paperopolis
A conjuration between our favourite dreamweaver Spencer Clark and Italian psychic traveller Mondo Riviera, Lorenzo's Oil present an oracle of aural travelogues between seen and unseen worlds on 'Paperopolis'.
Two likeminded individuals on their distinct but complementary quest for the netherworld, Clark and Riviera's meeting of the minds projects sonic artefacts assembled from lucid dreaming keyboard pads, narcotic late night TV rhythms, spiralling sequences and mangled voices.
