Session Two
The very first live stream on 9128.live broadcast from the studio of Rafael Anton Irisarri, as he and Thomas Meluch (Benoît Pioulard) pieced together a completely live improvisation, christening the newly created 9128 airwaves in 2019 and setting the bar for many more live takeovers.
With one album between them as Gailes, and profound work individually (also together as Orcas), Rafael and Thomas are masters of the ambient craft, combining intricate field recordings, guitar, pedals, vocals, and h…
Extropy
Markus Guentner returns with his signature expansive ambient world-building, and the third concept album on A Strangely Isolated Place, titled Extropy.
Extropy marks the final chapter in an accidental triptych of Astronomy-related exploratory albums on A Strangely Isolated Place. From the creation of the Earth and the Moon in his debut album on ASIP, Theia; to the relationship, the Earth holds with the greater Galaxy in the follow-up album, Empire (2018). To now, Extropy, and the indefinite grow…

Untitled Tape / Untitled Work #1
300 copies 'Stunning, iridescent, nocturnal strums perfuse the durational sketches - highly immersive, beautiful gear that sounds something like Vincent Gallo and Iasos having a deep one.
Betraying their fine grasp of non-standard tunings, wandering feel for space, and aerosolised textures, these four extended, untitled pieces stem from a sort of communal feedback loop. Revolving Leon Brichard, Jesse Hackett and Jeff Wootton subsume a wealth of worldly musical coordinates into their sound, echo…
Since It Turned Out Something Else
This is the first long form solo artist release by Corker since 2013. Sounds collected and forgotten about to be then re found and used as seeds of new compositions. Neither acoustic composition nor electroacoustic but somewhere in between, the music was recorded in many different spaces from Japan to Berlin and France, often remotely, whilst finally put together in one room in London. Rooms and our current shifting relationship with them as well as using space as compositional material are some…
Flying Fish Ambience
*Limited to 100 copies. Comes in in a hand painted, paraffin, sea shell package with the bonus tape single “Saga of Capsizing Dolphins".* The rainforest spiritual enslavement environs conceived by Dominick Fernow and Philippe Hallais complement ‘artificial spaces’ and ‘synthetic nature’ through the decay of ‘digital rain storms’ and ‘falling comet bass drops’ - 'Flying fish ambience' is the duo's first studio album together after a series of tours, and builds the RSE sound into a deep hypnotic s…
Jellyfish Reproduce Black Magic
‘Jellyfish reproduce black magic’ is the companion ep to the ‘Flying fish ambience’ album by RSE. The nature of a ‘permanent record’ whether digital or encrypted in the fossilized remains of evolutionary anthropomorphic species or ‘economic DNA’ left behind only further supersedes ‘artificial reality’ of environmental imprints. The alternative ‘occult economy’ is both reproducing and perpetuating a lethal life force. The essential premise of RSE remains ‘artificial spaces’ and ’synthetic nature’…
Annular Silhouettes
With Annular Silhouettes, Brad E. Rose traces an undulating pathway through ideas of place, memory, and intergenerational exchange. The edition is a mediation on how perspective is shaped, and reshaped, in time. More so it explores how change is simultaneously incremental and accumulative. This is reflected in the compositional strategies he deploys. Elements arrive and pass with an almost subconscious logic. Their pace is measured, but entirely fluid, creating a sense of breathing or perhaps ev…
Moths & Stars
"Coming from a background as a performer and clarinet player, the opportunity to record my own music opened up a whole new context to think about music. Sounds are freed from being confined to one place, one time, or even one perspective. I wanted the recording to have a right-up-in-your-ear kind of intimacy - so close, that you could hear the beating of a moth’s wing, but I also wanted the listener to experience the expansiveness of the recorded space, like the vast night sky. The microphones …
