Coalescence
A mild-mannered engineer by day, Michael Carlson is an experimental computer musician who focuses on drone ambient music and field recording; revolving around tracker programs since the early '90s, informed and inspired by the eclectic styles of music he listens to. The results sometimes hold the listener in stasis, other times guiding the listener through undefined vistas, always with the intent to reward patience. 'Coalescence' is the culmination of several years of exploration, experimentatio…
No Shadow of Turning
"A cavernous dive into a stark melancholia, ancient plaintive melodies summoned from transcendent chant, out-of-body guitar, rumbling canvas of wind, a stray dog barks either to warn or direct us to the eerie salvation beyond the wilds" - Raphi Gottesman, Buddha's Hand
Written, recorded and re-composed during a two-week residency at fara hoprich in martínkovice, czech republic, between 14 and 25 october, 2024. performed live in the forest as an improvised dimensional audio collage at "když proml…
Obreel
Obreel emerges as a compelling meeting point between three distinct yet profoundly complementary voices within contemporary ambient and experimental electronic music: Pepo Galán, Joachim Spieth, and Markus Guentner. The result is an album where rich textures, delicate fragility, and architectural clarity coalesce into compositions of meditative depth and luminous resonance.
Stillform
Stillform is a meeting of kinesthetic restraint and sonic precision. The album’s aesthetic lives in reduction - sparse motifs are carved out with care, micro-rhythms and attenuated textures bloom and dissolve with measured control. The collaboration reflects both artists’ shared interest in how minimal elements can create profound aural spaces: Onodera’s spatial sensibilities and Arovane’s keen melodic structuring converge to offer a listening experience that is simultaneously intimate and expan…
Nocturna
*2026 stock* Nocturna is the first collaborative album between New Zealand musician Andrew Thomas and German artist Joachim Spieth. Inspired by fleeting moments of beauty in nature, where light illuminates and then disappears into the shadows, Thomas began composing on the piano during Summer in the Southern Hemisphere. Gathering piano fragments like treasured relics, he passed them on to Spieth some months later, as Summer was now dawning in the Northern Hemisphere. Spieth wove the piano’s deli…
Spectral Passage
*2026 stock* With Spectral Passage, rhubiqs delivers a deeply immersive concept album that traces a psychological journey from turmoil to clarity. Inspired by artists like Tim Hecker, Fennesz, Sarah Davachi and William Basinski, the record layers guitars, synths, pianos, samples, field recordings, strings and brass into shifting soundscapes that mirror the mind’s passage through anxiety, trauma and renewal.
Opening with dense, disorienting textures (Infinite Dusk, Endless Nights), the album grad…
Low Harmonics
*2026 stock* Following his Affin debut Dolere in the summer of 2024 and his collaboration with Joachim Spieth and Markus Guentner on Arcadia, zakè returns to the imprint with his second solo album, Low Harmonics. As the title suggests, the record sinks into the lower depths of sound, shaped by heavy bass currents, low frequency drift, and slow moving vibration. Low Harmonics extends the reflective world introduced on Dolere, which explored how time stretches during periods of sorrow and how soun…
Vestige
Vestige continues Joachim Spieth’s refined exploration of spatial sound and textural depth. Building on the sonic language developed throughout his recent works – including Retrace – the album expands the dialogue between ambient atmospheres and dub-infused detail. The result is a composition of weightless intensity: a sound that unfolds in motion, inhabiting both vast hall spaces and microscopic frequency shifts. Driven by the question of how much presence can reside within a single, minimal so…
Aegis Of Silence
*2026 stock* With rhubiqs we welcome a new artist from the United Kingdom, who makes his first appearance on the Affin label with the album “Aegis of Silence”. Musically, the project moves between the poles of warm electronica, post-rock and soft ambient sounds, which are miraculously merged into a melodious body of work. rhubiqs' sound works fit into the existing affin sound garden on the one hand, but shine with an independently developed signature that is able to set its own accents.
Deep Triskell
Following Sans fin sans fond (BZH010), an introductory EP released in 2026 on les Disques de la Bretagne, This LP on Éditions Gravats is Maxime Primault’s (High Wolf, BZMC) debut album as Deep Triskell. Sacho Fest, New Trad Festival, Instants Chavirés, Mofo Festival… Deep Triskell came into shape through a series of live performances, each one bringing the project one step closer to its current sound, that Primault defines as “stoner-trad” (as in traditional): a sonic matter that is dense, abras…
HH
*100 copies limited edition* Time spent in hospital rooms. The weight still unfolding. The uncertain future. More questions than answers. Pieces of my heart, heard through the sounds of HH. For my wife. Shaped by what we are moving through together. An attempt to meet pain with love. Keep going. Try to rest. When can we. Holding each moment close, celebrating it as if it were both our first and our last. Knowing that love, in its truest form, is never measured by grandeur but by the depth of wha…
Unconsciousness Silence
Unconsciousness Silence is the latest ambient exploration from Japanese sound artist Chihei Hatakeyama. Known for his ethereal guitar drones and textured soundscapes, Hatakeyama creates immersive sonic environments that unfold slowly, inviting deep listening and introspection. This release continues his signature approach, blending delicate melodies, subtle electronics, and spacious ambient textures into a meditative journey.
everything in watercolour
Everything in Watercolour is a luminous and intimate ambient work from vocal artist and songwriter Anita Tatlow. Known for her instantly recognizable ethereal voice and immersive collaborations across the ambient and electronic spectrum, Tatlow crafts music that feels both weightless and deeply emotive.
Blending soft vocal layers with gentle synthesis and spacious production, the album unfolds like a series of delicate washes, where tone and texture drift in slow motion. Rooted in her backgrou…
Le Ciel
*2026 stock. 50 copies limited edition* The work Le Ciel shows a chronology of views of the sky over Marrakesh. The dramaturgical sequence of the images served as an inspirational anchor point for the ambient artist Neozaïre: for each of the six chapters, an individual sound composition was created from abstract samples taken from old record singles with Maghrebi music found on site. The synthesis of photography and sound is further intensified in six film sequences that spring from the image se…
You Know That It’s Real If You Feel That It’s Real
*2026 stock. 50 copies limited edition* “A scorching sun in the cold of winter. Gazing into Hackney skies. Glances, soft impressions, a tune on repeat. Touching, ever so gently. It's still so wonderful to feel.“
Neozaïre's second EP – or call it a mini album – for Private Sphere is all about an euphoria-fuelled and emotionally charged introspective. Leaving the exotic and sun-soaked realms of its predecessor, the seven short chapters of this new EP draw the artist’s signature soundscapes and moo…
Hotel Excelsior
*2026 stock. 50 copies limited edition* Neozaïre’s EP “Hotel Excelsior” is a hommage to the light, iridescent and shimmering. A continuously moving narrative interweaving a glistening, radiant heat with positive mysticism.
The four compositions on this EP represent the second part of a six track cycle that found its start with the release of last year’s “Pop Ambient 2021“, Kompakt’s highly renowned anual ambient music compilation curated by Wolfgang Voigt. “Hotel Excelsior” marks the debut publi…
Sonnailles
With Sonnailles, Franck Vigroux bends his rigorously sculpted electronics toward the body, fusing sequence‑driven structures, spectral voices and brute sonic impact into a tense, physical grammar of movement and memory.
Inferno
Tip! *Triple gatefold sleeve* »Inferno« retains its characteristic melodies and atmospheres, drawing on the esoteric influences of »Societas X Tape« (the BoC 2019 NTS mix for Warp Records’ 30th anniversary) as well as the dark atmosphere of »Tomorrow’s Harvest«, which is further intensified by the increased use of spoken-word recordings. The first BoC album in thirteen years has a running time of seventy minutes.
Capri
*200 copies limited edition* Originally released in 2009, Capri is a concept album composed of fragmented vignettes, lost minutes and scenes from an idyllic imagining. A collection of brief moments, suspended shimmers, and frail settings, Capri was never meant to be more than its own thin veneer; a naked and subtle wash of saturated and semi-transparent colors, rolling as gently as ocean waves against rocky beaches, of fading afternoon sunlight, of momentary experience. Peaceful yet isolated, qu…
