Flora
Tip! Following their 2024 reissue of Hiroshi Yoshimura’s classic album, Surround, Temporal Drift proudly presents the first-ever reissue of Flora, Yoshimura’s underappreciated ambient classic.
Flora was originally recorded and completed in 1987, and remained unreleased until 2006, nearly three years after Yoshimura’s passing in 2003. The album is chronologically and stylistically a follow-up to his acclaimed 1986 works Green and Sorround, wherein Yoshimura continues to play with the ambience of …
Soundscape 1: Surround
"If Surround can be listened to as music that’s as close to air itself, allowing us to enter each listener’s sound scenery, or as something that exists within a new perspective, expanding the middle ground between sound and music, and transforming it into a comfortable space, it would be much appreciated."- Hiroshi Yoshimura
Originally released as an album in January 1986, Surround was recorded by Yoshimura as a commission from home builder Misawa Homes, intended to function as an “amenity” desi…
Approaches #1
“approaches #1” is a study based on electronically amplified objects. The first phase is the selection and microphoning of objects that are familiar in everyday life and in the context of music. The second phase is the alienation and merging. Live, the tracks run through effect pedals, creating a continuous drone. “approaches #1” is a shallow monster that is both demanding and highly immersive. - rsn

La Timidité des Cimes
*50 copies limited edition* Mtua is the moniker of Matthieu Reynaud, a composer and sound artist based in Lyon. He is an enthusiast of long, contemplative forms, he works on the physicality of sound matter, carving out its contours and striving to breathe his own narrative into it. As a member of the SILO and Groovedge collectives, MTUA's musical practice focuses on the ability of oscillations to sculpt atmospheres. His sound installations draw on surrounding acoustic phenomena to transcribe the…
Avant le Rivage
*50 copies limited edition* Avant le Rivage takes us back to the poetics of a liminal space in its original definition : a place of transition, of change ; a place that contains the source of a reverie. At the heart of Mélodie Blaison's music, the shore is not seen as an elementary boundary between water and land. Rather, it is a crossroads of prolific inter-relations, a breeding ground for heterogeneous temporalities that invite disembodied contemplation. In this way, the sound materials used b…
The Well-Tempered Diffusion Model
*50 copies limited edition* In recent years, much has been written about artificial intelligence and how it can be used. In the art world, these apprehensions have quickly turned into workers' struggles which, beyond criticisms of AI as a tool, have brought to the forefront the flawed relations of production between art commissioners, work instruments and artists. This syndrome of the gargantuan appetite of the capitalist hydra within the cultural and creative industries has, however, left in it…
The Problem
*50 copies limited edition. 2025 stock* In 1948, Claude Shannon published his theory of the entropy of information. At a time when the telecommunications system was analogue, this engineer from Bell Laboratories formalised mathematically that the quantity of information transmitted affected the quality of the signal. What remains was lost information, a leftover message trapped in the meanders of electrical installations. Listening to The Problem makes you think you found a cabinet of curiositie…
Surface
*50 copies limited edition. 2025 stock* "As the tracks are in connection with each other, please listen to the whole album, don't skip between tracks. I started recording "Surface" after finding an old picture of me.I had forgotten that particular period of my life. When I looked at that picture, time stopped, I was catapulted backwards in slow-motion flashback, as if I was lost between two parallel times.Then I tried to rebuild this specific moment with the tracks of this album. During the reco…

The Journey Like Never Before

Flow of Adhisthana

2005 release ** "The glitch isn't going to go away. Despite occasional predictions by those in the electronic community that the musical devices of tiny clicks, pops and 'stuck CD' effects - pioneered by the likes of Autechre, Matmos, Fennesz, Raster-Noton and Oval - are just a passing trend, these techniques seem to have ensconced themselves as an established feature of the musical landscape. Perhaps one reason for the longevity of these software-driven effects is that they provide an extremel…
Legionowo
2005 release ** "Brasil and the Gallowbrothers Band is the new, second project by the collective after One Inch of Shadow - Dominic Savio, Mirt - musicians known for numerous productions released under the banners of various labels, including the Cat Sun they founded.

Explorations 85-95
2007 release ** "Quite unexpected. but surely long awaited comeback of this mysterious Swiss-based project. returning to the musical scene with the new album released after ten years of oblivion. This is another masterpiece of minimal analogue synth-sound alchemy. a journey through Batchas acoustic world allocated in the deep space between two acoustic radiators of stereosystem."
Anti Matter Society
2002 release ** Limited edition of 555 hand-numbered copies. "In more than one case, Europe beyond the Iron Curtain has generated interesting groups, especially in the fields of industrial and esoteric music: just think of names like Laibach, Autopsia and ACTUS. Fellow countrymen of the latter, the Slovakian Simulacrum record their second work for our Amplexus, endowed with a distinctive character that, while remaining within the scope of a very dark ambient ritual, distinguishes them from the l…
Nekkuja
*2025 stock* While she was waiting for her last album 'Pripyat' to be released, Catalan composer and producer Marina Herlop was restless. She was concerned about her (by then) uncertain music career, and felt emotionally unmoored. "Some days I used to sit on the balcony of my flat to catch some sun,” she explains, "I would close my eyes and start visualizing myself as a gardener, pulling out purple weeds from the soil, every bad memory or emotion I wanted to expulse being one of the plants." As …
Sexy Tears
'Sexy Tears' is a bold departure from Tristanne's (fka Tristan) critically acclaimed pop-jazz debut Wellif and lets you veer into uncharted territory, from the first tone, the bittersweet and haunting violin tones fade in on opener 'Steady Mouth'. In a split second, Tristanne lets you vanish in a dazzling matrix deep down a rabbit hole, a place where Piero Umiliani's 70s sleazy giallo era sensually resonates with Oneothrix Point Never goldwave frequencies. With a whisper of panting tension, her …
