Finger Pointing To The Moon
*In process of stocking* This is not your typical noise album. Harsher palette familiar from previous Mogao releases has been put momentarily aside. Approach now is more intimate with two lingering tracks painting the picture of abandoned landscape, where the flock of electronic birds are swimming amongst the analog warmth of broken piano ambience, echoing the names of Brian Eno and David Tudor in mind. And this is the painting you can touch, feeling all the rough textures and cracks in the canv…
Bain D'Etoiles
*300 copies limited edition* ' t Geruis is a discreet musician from Belgium, working in the field of ambient, with a grainy texture from some lo-fi recordings. This is his third solo release on a label but coming from his first works (recorded between august 2020 and march 2021). His words on Bain D’Étoiles below: "This album is about searching for wonder. Stories that give a sense of adventure. A vague memory of a discovery, something that lurks in the forest. The night falls over you like a wa…

Vairagya

An innovator of sound textures, Stancati is a multifaceted musician. Explore the dark minimalism of “Vairagya,” along with bright openings and rhythmic progressions. Like faces of a prism, the refraction of the musician's intimate universe slowly leads us into the artist's subconscious, the den of aesthetic isolation, a poetic expression through…
DAK009
**100 copies** The material on DAK009 is compiled from home recordings, all recorded straight to cassette, mixed in real time without overdubs. However, there are a few edits in order to conform with limitations of duration, re side two. Spencer Herbst, starting his musical foray as primarily a drummer, has spent the last 10 plus years creating a musical swath. The musical acumen created from a small arsenal of varied electronic components & tape recorders, that will hopefully outlive its maker.…
Dias da Aranha
It is no surprise that the most populated Serpente record to date is also his most vibrant and emancipated. With collaborations from Maxwell Sterling, Kelly Jayne Jones, Pedro Sousa, Vasco Alves and Gabriel Ferrandini, “Dias da Aranha” is a leap from previous releases like “Parada” and “Fé/Vazio”, both on Ecstatic. If you’re keeping in touch with Portuguese electronic music, then Bruno Silva’s music should be no stranger to you. If you’ve also been keeping tabs on his evolution throughout our ca…
Constellation
Arbitrary presents the first in a series of remix collaborations and releases by Mads Emil Nielsen and Chromacolor, a project from the German sound artist and producer Hanno Leichtmann.Mads Emil Nielsen’s Constellation (side A) was created by combining several granulations and textures based on a single short recording, extracted from improvisations made with the Buchla synthesizer at EMS, Stockholm – combined with randomly looping orchestral samples, edited and produced in his studio in Copenha…
Puzzle Music
**in process of stocking** “Puzzle Music is the desire to create images out of diverse pieces of sound. To collect timbral colours in a gradient procession and connect them until they create reason. Principally not knowing how the image will turn out, or what the picture even is. It is the act of placing sound shapes next to one another in the hope that clarity will gradually be revealed. When grouping the songs together I was thinking of them as mechanisms in a timepiece. I have something of an…
Resonant Bodies
Music From Memory are excited to present the latest chapter in their ongoing collaboration with seminal Spanish ambient musician Suso Saiz. 'Resonant Bodies’ is Suso’s seventh album project with the label and again raises the bar of his musical output, embracing a conceptual approach of which Suso himself says the following: “A body vibrates producing a sound that reaches another body and makes it vibrate and generate a new sound that makes another body vibrate that generates another sound... Im…
Alfabetiere Majakovskij!
*300 copies limited edition* "Alfabetiere Majakovskij!" is another piece in the trans-media (and also trans-publishing) project conceived by Arlo Bigazzi and dedicated to the futurist poet.

Il futuro viene dal vecchio ma ha il respiro di un ragazzo" (Materiali Sonori), which includes a CD with the theatrical sequence in which…
Allure
2007 release ** "This EP is the 3rd in a series of 3 EPs in the series "Neither Speak nor Remain Silent" by Fovea Hex, who by this time was all centered around the artist Clodaugh Simonds, who was the lead singer for a progressive folk band in the 70s called "Mellow Candle". They only released one album in the 70s, and then another one in the 90s. They were obviously not a very well known band, and I can't speak of their music since I haven't heard it. The reason why this was brought to my atten…
Music For Abandoned Cold War Places
*Limited edition of 200 copies.* Since the 1978 Brian Eno album Music For Airports, subsequent attempts to produce music to create sonorous ambient textures and/or to describe environments through sound have been numerous.

Ruoho, Heikki Lindgren, Andrés Faliu, Dani Kloob, Adriano Ragni, Matteo Scaioli, Evgeny Pustota, Valter Abreu, Jarko M. Hedenius, Janne…
Cloud Holding
Cloud Holding is NYC-based Bryce Hackford’s fifth full-length work, and his first with Futura Resistenza. Seven figures emerge out of recorded improvisations with a group of musicians: Ka Baird, Shelley Burgon, Alice Cohen, Michael Hurder, Dominika Mazurová, Camilla Padgitt-Coles. The instrumental utterances (including the original instrument—the voice) of these varied talents are gently treated and coaxed by the composer, nudged into little sculptures of sound which express an always drifting …
The Tao Of Cwmdonkin Drive
"Having witnessed with awe his sagacious feline-managerial skills with music and musical psyches of many a stripe (including *cough* my own), I was certain that Andy McAuley was the right person to orchestrally illuminate my semi-inchoate ego-laced narrative. Zooming in and out of rainbow-hued classical fractal frequencies like an electronic-inculcated dervish and weaving keyboard themes (one composed by Saichairí McAuley), Udu-fronted percussion and vibraphone from the Terpsichorean Martin Pyne…

Liquid Rhythm
Three years after Stroom TV released his debut album Modified Perspectives, Kolàr released, Loops & Pieces, a documentation of sounds he has been working on in the period 2017-2020. According to Kolàr, this tape, also his first release for Dauw, was full of vaporous drafts transforming into solid forms with the help of time and distance. Compared to his previous work, the music on Loops & Pieces is much more stripped down and minimal, yet the dreamy character remained.
On Liquid Rhythm, we see K…

ZAMPLER001
**100 copies** We were about to release “Textures & Lines” (by Drumming GP, Joana Gama & Luís Fernandes) when the Covid-19 crisis hit Portugal hard. A tour had been organized around it and it was obviously cancelled, but we kept the street date anyway. On the same week we decided to try and not hold back any of our future releases, respecting our previous schedule as a way to support the artists we are working with, thinking about the current situation but also the unpredictable future. With tha…
