Olímpia
**150 copies** "Part of a long steady lineage of Portuguese romantics, Pedro Magina breaks a five-year hiatus after releases on Not Not Fun and Mental Groove. When we first heard these songs, we were mesmerized by their mellowness. Inspired by many changes in his life over the last few years, “Olímpia” is a straight to the heart record, mixing lounge atmospheres, Balearic heat and the blissful “I don’t give a shit feeling” about what’s happening out there. This is not a 2020 record. This is a fo…
9.22.07
**2022 stock** "The first time I heard this it took me on a total journey and it blew my head off. I couldn't believe how good it was! Concert Silence is the live duo of Matthew Cooper of Eluvium and Charles Buckingham and this album is the first of their manipulated fruits to surface. They're both into live sound manipulation, so this performance was organised and here is the mastered music. It's quite different for Infraction as the vast majority of the output on the label has been ambient but…
An Idea And Its Map
**2022 stock. Edition of 400 copies ** Drape is an ambient duo comprised of Ryan Gracey and Spencer Williams. They have been crafting soundscapes since 2004. Their debut, 'dream words' (Gears of Sand) saw a limited CDR release in 2009. It was well received and garnered comparisons to Stars of the Lid, early 70's Tangerine Dream as well as late 80's space ambient. Their follow-up was an interesting pairing on cassette - a split w/ experimental artist Odd Nosdam. 'An Idea And Its Map' marks a refi…
Auriemma
** Edition of 50 copies ** The duality of what Joe LiTrenta & Miki Kizh have created with 'Auriemma' is revealed with the first as well as the 100th listen. 'Auriemma' is undeniably influenced by the passing of 2 brothers who were close to the artists. Rob & Aidan died in separate accidents a few weeks from one another. So the result is a somber, haunted recording but it somehow retains some optimism throughout each of its sprawling tracks. Chords appear out of the air, and then expand for what …
Rain Furniture
*2022 stock* "In this project, we find Matthew Cooper, moonlighting from his Eluvium dayjob, communing with Charles Buckingham on a project dubbed Concert Silence - a recording captured then released. Word had hardly spread among ambience-chasers and Eluvium-spotters before it was withdrawn, taking on a mythical Shangri La-like aspect, to be ever-pursued - spoken of with a faraway wistful look. Generally speaking these tracks work in a far more subtle way than on the album... The short opener 'W…
Varying Degrees Of Alive
**2022 stock. Edition of 200 copies ** ‘Lantscap’ is a collaboration between Ian Hawgood and Warren Kroll (Forrest, High Tides) which mostly focuses on guitar and vocal loops processed through stomp boxes. Their work has been compared to the ‘Mirror’ releases of Andrew Chalk and Christoph Heemann. ‘Varying Degrees Of Alive’ was mastered by James Plotkin, with photography by Toshiba Watanabe, and was released on white and baby blue vinyl on the Infraction label in 2013. Their follow-up is due out…
Let There Water Air
** 2022 stock. Edition of 200 copies ** Spencer Williams and Ryan Gracey's 2nd full length LP as Drape on Infraction. Analog orchestras and guitar notes that expand for minutes on end. The first two tracks on Let There Water Air are awash in a guitar and cello haze, rising up on 'new mountains' like the morning sun cresting over the horizon. When it gets quiet, as in with the opening of 'Interiors', it is a stark-like Cage piano piece with the sounds of the piano repair shop these tracks were r…
Black Lake
** Edition of 150 copies ** Previously issued in Poland in 2017 on the Requiem Records imprint as a CD only, "Black Lake" gets the vinyl treatment here. A pressing of 200 copies, with 150 copies on 180g black vinyl and 50 copies on gold vinyl. The sleeve will be a thick tip-on style with OBI with printed inner sleeve. Design and layout by Timothy O'Donnell. Bartosz Dziadosz may need some introduction, as although he has been extraordinarily prolific over the past 15 years, most releases have bea…
Forage / Presence
** Edition of 100 copies ** Drape's 3rd album for Infraction. This is a double vinyl & digital issue of the limited cassette release 'Forage' (Baro, 2016) on one LP, and then a new album 'Presence' on the 2nd LP. Spencer Williams and Ryan Gracey have expanded their sound with each successive release. Forage/Presence finds the duo (with contributions from Doug McDiarmid) working in an almost ethereal folk realm, using acoustic guitars, piano, woodwinds, female voices in addition to painting mini-…
An Ascent
Scanner (British musician Robin Rimbaud) has been inventively active in Electronic Music since 1991 and been involved in a bewildering range of musical activities covering sonic art, concerts, installations, recordings and dance scores. His impeccable sonic credentials have seen him work with such luminaries as Bryan Ferry, Michael Nyman & Laurie Anderson. His debut DiN solo album comes at a rather strange time for many people. The onset of a global virus has shut down much of the world around u…
Hyperincandescent
Tip! The DiN label via its founder Ian Boddy has its roots in the analogue electronica of the German Berlin School. However over the course of 100+ albums the music released on this UK based imprint have pushed far beyond this musical heritage. The electronic music scene is ever evolving and a new, younger generation of musicians involved in the burgeoning modular synth scene are untethered from the past and able to wander freely into unexplored worlds of sonic soundscaping.Just such a musician …
G. Steenkiste & U. Schütte
*100 copies limited edition* These two pieces, recorded in sessions in Ghent, Belgium and Hamburg, Germany, represent the first musical collaboration between long-time friends U. Schütte (half of the German duo Phantom Horse, with several releases on Umor Rex) and G. Steenkiste (aka Hellvete). In this work, two specific traditions of the avant garde of modern electronic music of the meet elegantly: the systematic, evolutionary and minimal construction of harmonic and solemn forms, with the patie…
Stonewalling
“Stonewalling” offers a collection of electroacoustic pieces taking as input the Mexican vernacular music from the golden age of Mexican cinema of the first part of the 20th century. In those films, music was used as communication due their poor verbal communication-skills. This is an album about communication, about the impossibility to do so to resolve conflicts. In the technical side, some of the sources used as layering in the tracks come from radio frequencies taken from explorations into t…
Demonstration Takes & Retakes
Tristan Disco was an ephemeral Japanese project led by Takayuki Shiraishi (BGM, who released material on the Japanese experimental label Vanity Records, MLD) and focused on making dub-influenced Post-Punk. In 1982 they elaborate a no-wave full of unrehearsed breaks and cavernous vocals. Boundless dark jamming sessions through shades, effects and reverbs always submerged by a tense nervous bassline. On the B side Krikor delivers a hard-hitting Industrial reconstruction of "Social Dance" perfect t…
Germinal
*110 copies limited edition* The debut LP by Outliers, "Germinal," offers a kaleidoscopic blend of lo-fi sensibility and hi-fi substance. The duo delivers on its namesake by deviating from musical norms. Using atypical rhythms, atonal sounds, and shifting forms, their music creates an inviting familiarity. Outliers' music can call a number of genres home: electronic, ambient, psychedelia, minimalism. No matter what you label it, "Germinal" will soothe your psyche with its shimmering inner light …
The Space Between
* White vinyl. Ltd 2022 repress * Joanna Brouk’s golden new age / modern classical Moog & electric piano masterpiece is reissued on vinyl for the first time, following a resoundingly-praised 2016 compilation that revolved around its titular, 21 minute highlight.Now replete with the original 1980 tape edition’s three B-side works for synth, saron (gamelan) and bells, The Space Between is a sublimely reclined and contemplative record for troubled minds and times that beautifully resonates with a c…
Zibaldone IV of CVX
"We’ve reached book IV in Rupert Clervaux’s series of “Zibaldone” audio diaries, at which point we find him telling a different kind of story. “The first three all had very specific themes, while this one feels a little bit looser and doesn’t have just one thematic thrust,” he tells me, which maybe explains why listening feels a bit like annotating. I’m underlining, emphasizing, drawing arrows from here to there, highlighting symbols and noting motifs, realising, questioning, eureka-ing. An impr…
Shade Of Impulse
*2022 stock. 200 copies limited edition* “Shade Of Impulse” is the first album for Frank Crijns on Moving Furniture Records. For the music on this CD Crijns has coined the term “N-bient”: ambient that refers to nature (here Water) and acoustics (here passages by classical ensembles). On the album several characters of sound collide, combine and interact with each other. A “N-bient“ sound canvas of (mechanical) sound-fields, natural ambient, electronic textures and acoustic ensemble playing, all …
Artefact
*2022 stock. 200 copies limited edition* Codespira1 is the alias of the Stockholm based composer Mattias Petersson. After finishing several years of classical piano studies in the mid-nineties, he eventually ended up in the Swedish capital holding a diploma in electroacoustic composition from the Royal College of Music there. The Codespira1 moniker was inspired by a documentary about fractals in nature, and was originally conceived as a placeholder for electronic live performances recorded more …
Waanzintraan
*2022 stock. 200 copies limited edition* We are really happy and proud to present the second album by Bas van Huizen for Moving Furniture Records. After Kluwekracht he now returns with Waanzintraan where he goes further with his explorations in the harmony of noise. In his own words Bas had to say the following: "Waanzintraan is the first collection of music I produced in China. It even features some processed field recordings I made in Shanghai and Xi'an. I mostly explored noise though. Not as …
