Electronic / Drone

Organum Electronics ‘Quietude’ is another intense aural experience. A dense work, consisting of buzzing washes of electronic sounds, reminiscent of the very first Organum recordings. In common with other recent works, the piece uses a carefully chosen set of sound sources, overlaid and structured to form a tapestry of shifting textures. Recorded in 2021 and edited by Alan Jones at RMS Studios South London, the CD comes in a 4-panel Digisleeve with graphic artwork by Jonathan Coleclough. UK-based…

Organum Electronics ‘Darcknes’ is the sibling album of ‘Quietude’ (DS128). It is a similarly dense work, consisting of buzzing washes of electronic sounds, reminiscent of the very first Organum recordings. In common with other recent works, the piece uses a carefully chosen set of sound sources, overlaid and structured to form a tapestry of shifting textures. Recorded in 2021 and edited by Alan Jones at RMS Studios South London, the CD comes in a 4-panel Digisleeve with graphic artwork by Jonath…

‘A Cloud Of Light’ is the fourth album in the David Jackman / Organum Electronics release series on Die Stadt, and the first under his own name. The work sees him returning to calmer fields of sound which could already be heard on the acclaimed D. Jackman ‘Herbstsonne’ (DS119) from 2019, and the following Jackman ‘Silence In That Time’ (DS123) from 2020. Again the sounds of Tampura, Organ, Piano, Bells and Crows are the chosen sound sources, overlaid and structured to form a tapestry of shifting…

2007 release ** "The compilation of exclusive tracks by russian artists, intended for the presentation on “Bruit de la neige” 2007 festival by Studio Forum (Annecy, France). Some of them are good known in Russia and worldwide, some are just the newcomers, but all are showing the great potential of russian experimental music scene in the fields of electroacoustic, abstract electronic music, drone ambient and noise collages." Featuring: Kolpakopf, Bardoseneticcube, Exit In Grey, Cisfinitum, Instan…

Since its foundation, Indianapolis-based Healing Sound Propagandist has quietly built a catalog of nearly a hundred releases by a cadre of emerging and established artists, specializing in undiluted doses of textured drone and experimental ambient. To commemorate this prolific run, Retrospective [2019-2024] collects 76 standout tracks over five hours, from the warm tonal blankets of James Bernard (“Never Alone”), to the wispy, boreal loops of UK’s Pallette (“Für What”) and the womb-like warble o…

2005 release ** "First real CD from little known NZ knob-twiddler/sound-sampler/drone-minimalist in the footsteps of Peter Wright and Omit. Seht is one Stephen Clover, who has released a handful of drone-oriented limited lathe cuts under different names. Not as single-minded as you might think; Mr. Clover's approach to the drone thing uses different instruments to create a series of droning and repeating pieces that vary wildly in mood from each other, and sometimes pull a sudden internal switch…

“Variants” is a new chapter of Capricorni Pneumatici an esoteric post industrial project that started in Italy during the nineties. First of all you will be caught by the nice cover recalling Flemish painter Hyeronimus Bosh. You may see it as an introduction to the dark disquieting spaces crossed by CP during the 7 tracks of this work. The sound generated by live electronics, percussions and treated guitars subtly flows from one track to the other trying to overcome the opacity of the world of s…

2025 stock "Initial recordings for 'Canticles Of Bliss' started in October of 2019 at my home studio located just south of Indianapolis. At the start of 2020 I continued recording songs off and on up until late April where I then took a break and then picked up the guitar again in July. I used an electric guitar for the recordings while utilizing very little effects and a loop station. Quite a lot of the tracks I made ended up not making it on 'Canticles of Bliss'. As such, these eight selected …

Across the entirety of From the End of Time, the new album by Black Swan, an eerily desolate wind forms the base layer for swells of disembodied choirs, haunting piano, mangled tapes, and scores of other unplaceable, vividly textured sounds. According to the artist, its environment “is meant to evoke the aftermath of a collapsed society,” but does so while pulling every possible vestige of beauty from the ruins, with the reverent melancholy of a classical requiem. Like previous album Ghost (2024…

2025 stock "The Box" is a collection of the earliest and perhaps most cherished recordings by UK producer Dennis Huddleston, better known as 36. Written between 2005 and 2012, it compiles the albums Hypersona (2009), Hollow (2010) and Lithea (2012) into a 6LP boxset, alongside a bonus LP of exclusive and unreleased tracks titled Orphans. Originally written as a triptych, The Box showcases an incredibly eclectic, deeply emotional range of tracks, bridged together by that optimistic melancholy, wh…

*50 copies limited edition* While taking a nap and it leads me into very, very deep paths of consciousness, transforming our paradoxical sleep into an accumulation of misty layers which sometimes offers clearings of pastoral dazzlement. We go back to the surface then we dive back. We cannot see at a meter like in a fog of physically palpable density which would have the power to transport us without moving. Samuel says about his influences : I’m very influenced by film and visuals specifically. …

*50 copies limited edition* Watson was my Dog, we had him from a puppy, he chose us and can be heard through out these recordings. If you listen carefully you’ll hear him sniffing microphones, squeaking toys and barking in the garden. All caught whilst recording the different instruments that layers and weave themselves into the palettes that make the up the pieces. I even captured his breathing on my lap the last time he laid there. Some of the recordings started life over 30 years ago and with…

2007 release ** "Objekt4 was formed in 2003 by sweden's anders peterson with the aim of expanding cinematic sound design into music, by creating hybrids with field recordings and musical instruments/approaches. the objective was to create musical ambiance rather than ambient music. shades of night is objekt4's 6th full length release. objekt4 expands on his early albums with a hybrid approach between various nocturnal ambience, brilliantly combining unique sounds into something that transcends t…

Folded Into Boundaries is the latest release from Darren McClure, a collection of eight immersive compositions crafted between the summer of 2023 and the winter of 2024 in Matsumoto, Japan. Nestled within a basin and encircled by the towering Japanese Alps—mountains formed by the slow collision of tectonic plates—Matsumoto’s striking topography deeply influenced both the album’s title and sonic direction. McClure employs a dynamic interplay of sound erosion and texture, where layers of asymmetri…

Tip! Masonna is the solo noise project of Yamazaki Mazo, who, along with Merzbow and Emergency Staircase, has earned the respect of the entire world as an iconic figure of Japanoise. In 2002, Masonna, Christine 23 Onna, and Space Machine, the three units Yamazaki Mazo is involved with, released three albums simultaneously as the "Yamazaki Maso 15th Anniversary Freakout Triplex Series" to celebrate the 15th anniversary of their activities.

"I had quite the steep learning curve with digital audio and in 1998 got in charge of an traditional electronic music studio in France, just across the border from where I lived. Apart from setting up their collection of analog synths and g…

2008 release ** "Although not overly prolific in his output, Andrew Moon has added another installment to Utech Records' URSK series which fits in to the ethos that the project has established:  a disc of dark, ominous drone with a slight edge of noise.  Considering there have been contributions from such scene titans as Skullflower and Final, RST holds their own, and is idiosyncratic enough to stand out among the throngs of guitar drone projects."

2010 release ** "A dark space blues built from electric guitars, The Sunset Limited presents the next phase of RST's exploration of the limitless kinetic possibilities of that hallowed rock and roll instrument. Colossal rumbles and riffs arc across an expanse of darkness, lighting shadows of phantom cities, burnout survivors, fires burning in endless night. Here RST pushes its own aesthetic out beyond the void, building on the slow momentum of fifteen years staring into space, stone in hand, amp…

*200 copies limited edition* "Ever Expanding" unfolds like a fissure in the continuity of the real. Each sonic fragment carries the memory of an archaic gesture, while also heralding a form yet to come. Nothing asserts itself, yet everything emerges with the gentle force of an apparition—unstable configurations that breathe in the space between the familiar and the elusive. The pieces overlap without collision: each remains distinct, yet surfaces within a shared field. What arises is a multiplic…

2005 release ** "During the seven-million years of the Cyclops' sleep, the rutile mountain became a flower. The ocean-cloud has crossed the Pangaea, transformed to the rainbow dewdrop of a petal. Spiracle: An aperture for breathing, such as a whale's blowhole, the opening behind the eye of sharks, rays, and skates, or the tracheal openings on the sides of the bodies of certain insects and spiders."

*20 copies limited release* ERMETE is an ambient/drone project that blends sonic exploration with dark, retro-futuristic tones, unfolding over a fluid and immersive droning foundation. The debut self-titled album "Ermete" is composed of three distinct movements: "29°00′N 13°44′W (I-II-III)", the opening piece, is an extended composition divided into three parts. Its structure revolves around three evolving themes, emerging from a hypnotic and earth-shaking drone that underpins the entire track. …

*100 coipes limited edition* Among the many kind remarks and deeply personal stories that have been shared with zakè and 36 about their beloved series, Stasis Sounds For Long-Distance Space Travel, perhaps the most succinct and poignant is one from a fan, regarding the first installment: “I was terrified of space travel, until I heard this album.” In those few words, the complex themes and contrasts that the artists explore through their comforting hymns of cosmic scale are summed up beautifully…

"It was my first time performing at Chitei. The venue has a dark, almost secret-hideout-like atmosphere, with a sense of decay that resonated deeply with my emotional state at the time. The speakers were quite large relative to the space, so the sound would circulate and create feedback that doesn’t happen in other venues. By moving the microphone through the space and changing its position, the pitch and harmonics of the feedback would shift. Very few venues offer this kind of experience. To me…

2008 release ** Comes in a folded A2-poster sleeve. "The Belgian label Consouling Sounds, which specializes in guitar drone and has already released, among other things, the fantastic remix LP by N entitled "Bergen: Skizzen + Notiz" (Bergen: Sketches + Notes), has released the CD "Magnetic Fields & Zero Dimension Planes," a compilation that can confidently be described as a current overview of the genre. The opening track is a highlight, as "Amsterdam 2 Uhr Nachts" is the first sign of life from…

2007 release ** Limited edition of 199 hand numbered copies with unique paste-on covers plus 16-page A5 booklet. "Together with Museo Della Tortura (although the cover just says M.B. + M.D.T.) Maurizio Bianchi made seven tracks, 'psalmodian', which on the cover is explained as an 'experimental way how to interpret the psalms'. All pieces are about psalm 63, which is when King David was alone in the desert and God was still with him. This desolation is captured quite well in the music. Sometimes …

1996 release ** Packaged in an oversized A5 folded paper sleeve with a plastic cover. "As I compose music, I try to create a relaxing environment so that the listener can escape from the hectic world of today. So, sweeping sounds which are filled with warmth are the base of each composition. Later on, percussion was added, but again, the relaxing mood was the main idea behind each musical work. Mystic meanings and surrealistic concepts are not what you must seek in this kind of music but pure en…

1996 release ** Edition of 1000 hand-numbered copies. CD in a card sleeve held in an A5 (150x200mm) wraparound card folder. "Rarely an album comes along that elicits so many different feelings one is left speechless. Suspended Feathers achieves such sacred distinction. Executed with such meticoluos attention to detail, the music of Italy's Alio Die is afine art to behold. A splendid mixture of enchanting instruments, loops and environmental treatments combine to form a multiple layered ambience …

2010 release  ** "Five superb tracks of deep and evocative ambient music, enriched with echoes of ancient ritual suggestions. The immense spaces and the abyssal deepness of the sea, but also the sound of the bowels of the Earth, the colour of the sand of the desert, the energy of the wind, the strenght of all the Elements, the infinite cycle of day and night, of life and death… A long circular journey through interchanging atmospheres that shake and capture, dragging with energy, then leave room…

2019 release  ** "A sort of anthology that collects material recorded between 2006 and 2014. The album is titled, programmatically, The Bunker Years (2006-2014) and represents a bit of a "summa" of his art. Musically the album is wonderful: the settings are dense, magmatic and claustrophobic. It is a liquid, wavy and minimal sound that moves in electroacoustic and electronic territories. The initial “The Rule Of The Shadows” with its rumblings creates a bizarre and difficult to decipher acoustic…

2020 release ** Limited edition of 200 copies. "Sound pulses and pale metallic clangs, thin percussive incisions, impalpable high notes broken by thundering and flaying industrial noises. This powerful work by Gianluca Becuzzi breaks down the barrier between the “inside” and the “outside”. As in the third law of correspondence what is above is below, what is below is above, the barriers are broken down, the rhythm deconstructs and annihilates, they are explosions of a Tancredi Parmeggiani with d…

2009 release ** "Infinite Greyscale is delighted to present a new long-form composition by Anduin. Since 2008, Jonathan Lee has been releasing beguiling and dusky cinematic music to great acclaim. Last Days of Montrose House is a deeply impressionistic work that’s constantly changing scene and perspective. Like entering a long abandoned building, it suggests both physical space and the unknown.  The sound of a projector rolls to a foreboding rumble that invites the listener into a smoky, wide sc…

*300 copies limited edition* The Might of Stars Sublime is Dirk Serries' debut on German label Audiophob. Drawing from his oeuvre and experience in ambient and experimental music, projects like his Microphonics project, "The Might Of Stars Sublime" feels familiar, close to home, but simultaneously creates another dimension in his realm of ambient music. This album leads the listener through a trip of minimalism, a sense of grandeur, a specific harmonic quality and beautiful ambient music which b…
