Silence Will Never Die
*120 copies limited edition* Martina Berther and Philipp Schlotter return to Hallow Ground with their second collaborative album since 2023’s stringent exercise in drone minimalism, »Matt.« »Silence Will Never Die« was recorded at the same church in the Canton of Glarus that lent its name to the duo’s debut.

Coupled to often despairing or melancholic lyr…
Chinatown Hennessy
*50 copies limited edition* "When I had carefully considered that the misery of this life would only be ended by blissful death, I observed that human wandering on earth should be compared . . . to the restless sea, which, when churned up with agitated waves, causes incessant danger to the corporeal ship propelled here and there on an uncertain course, and causes the sailor . . . to be utterly ignorant of how he might by chance bring his ship to an unknown port of good fortune. Thus it happens t…

Jewels
Kitchen. Label is proud to present Jewels, the debut album from Tokyo-based composer Ryuuta Takaki, emerging from a new chapter in the city’s alternative wave.

His music unfolds as a living system of shifting harmonies, fractured rhythms, and unexpected turns. At the core of Hiele’s practice lies a deep fascination for contrast, where his soundscapes act as both anchor and disruption, sharpening the emotional depth of images and spaces, a sensibility that extends into his collaborations with filmmakers, visua…
Ambient $
Mythology has a recurring theme: creating ambiguity by rearranging worlds and creatures that normally don’t belong together. Centaurs, Minotaurs, Hydras and so on: mockery and mystery intertwine into entities that are in equal parts magnificent and ridiculous. Referencing this idea in the present, Loris S. Sarid conjures 12 compositions simultaneously showing traits of dreamlike trap, candy-flavoured New Age and Spoken Word. The lines between spiritual and mundane, drama and parody are bent and …

Remnants
"I don’t keep photographs, old letters, keepsakes or memorabilia. I have sound-files, thousands of them, un-used, un-heard: folders of field recordings; sonic sketches; experiments that failed but weren’t deleted. The files are saved on hard drives or the cards of obsolete pieces of equipment replaced – bit by dusty bit – with something new, clean and shiny. A remnant is what’s left over when the greater part it once belonged to has been used up, removed, or destroyed. I think of my sound-files …

Melanesia
2025 stock A journey back in time, maybe thousands of years ago, somewhere in the isolated islands of Melanesia. Here, just like a sound alchemist, Roberto Musci transforms organic nature elements into a unique sound performance of self-estrangement.
In the artists’ laboratory, we will discover a melting pot of ancestral ceremonial sounds collided with contemporary chamber music and experimental-electronic methods based on music research. Among these, ethnical music of the populations of Kanaki…
