Canto+
Room 40 presents Canto+ by Beatriz Ferreyra. "I’m not really sure when I first heard Beatriz Ferreyra’s music. My best guess would be in the early to mid 2000s when I was working alongside the curatorial team at Liquid Architecture. Given the focus of the festival at that time, GRM and musique concrète more generally was very much a point of focus. That said, it wasn’t until this decade that her work was sharply in focus for me (and I am guessing a great many others). In 2017, I had the great pl…
La Finestra Dentata
Papiro’s approach to music is never technical, but always personal. Since the mid-Nineties, he has released a handful of noteworthy albums, each carefully put together and seemingly self-contained, yet all sharing an unmistakable musical language and a certain escapist aura. La finestra dentata (The Toothed Window), is no exception. It includes both studio and concert recordings from 2016–2020. The sounds on this album appear infinite and full of marvels, ingenious in portraying imaginary creatu…

Nebula - MMXX-20
Shiva Feshareki is a British-Iranian experimental composer and turntabist, noted for solo efforts, as well as her work alongside classical orchestras. Her only full-length to date, New Forms, issued by Resist back in 2019, makes her contribution to the MMXX series, Nebula, a much-needed expansion of her available works.Deploying the turntable with a stunningly skilled hand, Nebula is a work of orchestral scale made from the most minimal means. Merging a vast number of heavily manipulated sound-s…
1883 - Sound Model I - MMXX-19
Predominately working as a film director and visual artist, since the late 2000s Carlos Casas has occupied a remarkable double life with his work in sound, producing a handful of full lengths and EPs over the last ten years that span the worlds of musique concrète, electronic, electroacoustic, and ambient musical composition.Casas’s contribution to the MMXX series, 1883 - Sound Model I - his second release with Matière Mémoire - is an uncanny electroacoustic composition that incorporates field r…
Komora - MMXX-18
Bérangère Maximin is a fascinating figure on the French experimental electronic music scene. Having studied electroacoustic composition under Denis Dufour, since her move to Paris in the early 2000s she developed a highly individualized practice of acousmatic composition, creating tape works for dance and experimental cinema, as well as a small, carefully crafted discography that has appeared across highly regarded imprints like Tzadik, Sub Rosa, and Made To Measure, among others.Maximin’s contr…

Viscount Gort - MMXX-16
In our small corner of the world, Oren Ambarchi needs little introduction. He is among the most important and prolific figures within the contemporary landscape of experimental music. First appearing as a drummer on the free jazz scene in Sydney, Australia, during the mid-1980s, by the 1990s Ambarchi had followed the gravity of an intense creative curiosity, subsequently reemerging as visionary electroacoustic pioneer focussed largely on the guitar.With a small group of peers, he helped spawn a …
Aéroproducts
**150 copies, clear vinyl** Rotorelief presents a reissue of Alésia Cosmos' Aéroproducts, originally released in 1985, with bonus material. In the '80s, Alésia Cosmos was one of those pioneering groups that invented a handful of things: uprooted electro, pop-shifted funk. With some synths, rhythm boxes, magnetic tapes, crazy guitars and hallucinated voices, they rocked the underground for four years, with two albums, playing live in France and Europe. The dazzling epic of the magic combo has bec…
ae³o & h³ae
**500 copies only, already sold-out at source** Drone: as with anything else that rarely changes, it's necessary to latch onto subtleties. What minimal suggestion put forth by a drone is so easily applied to pretty much any impression you might have that, predictably, describing one often leads to vague subjectivities bordering on bad poetry. And as much as I'd love to go around proclaiming my love for "deeply resonant, holy abysses" (not), I wish there were an easier way to communicate the real…
