2011 release  ** "Last effort of 2011 for Gianluca Becuzzi this Nothing Is What It Seems, which is published at the end of the year by Silentes with a splendid graphic based on photos by Stefano Gentile and artwork by Andrea Marutti; Claudio Rocchetti completes the team of collaborators contributing with “sound objects” in a couple of tracks. All the rest (composition, production and mastering) is by Becuzzi. Nothing is as it seems tells us the title, and leads us to think that the sounds we hea…

He released many albums and performed live around Europe during the last three decades under various names. Since 1999, his artistic production is characterised by a strong experimental imprint and by a clear aesthetic inclination towards abstract forms and micro / macro noises / sounds.

*2025 stock* "Music and musical releases can be controversial for many reasons. Lyrical content, shocking covers, too loud, too quiet: David Jackman’s music is controversial for none of these reasons. His music isn’t noisy or silent, with no lyrical content or a shocking cover. I am not on any discussion group online and never was, but I can imagine a discussion with the topic: “Is David Jackman doing the same thing over and over again?”. I don’t know the answer, but I can guess. We can say the …

*300 copies limited edition* Recorded in early 2015 and originally released as a micro edition cassette on World News Records, No Language is the debut collection of songs by Melbourne's Caroline No. The group's unique, beguiling sound sits somewhere between archetypal Dunedin pop and languorous, textural improvisation. No Language was spontaneously recorded with one microphone and the serendipity of the session proves tactile in the listening experience. Heavily reverbed laughter, coughing, fit…

*300 copies limited edition *Since the late aughts, Helsinki-based multi-instrumentalist, linguist, and skateboarder Olli Aarni has released a steady stream of diverse and remarkably consistent recordings via labels such as Mappa, Longform Editions, Cotton Goods, Laaps and Superpang. “Koko Maailma” constitutes a major new work in his discography, finding a fertile middle ground between what might be understood as his two primary compositional modes: organic/chaotic/aleatoric music and rule-based…

*300 copies limited edition* John Davis is a sound artist and filmmaker based in the Bay Area. Active since the mid-aughts, he has published recordings on labels such as Root Strata and Digitalis, as well as on his own Bimodal Press imprint. “Landlines” sees a return to the SOD catalog for Davis, following a full-length release in 2013, and may be seen as somewhat of a spiritual successor to that album. In all of Davis’ work, there is a specific pastoral sensibility that feels firmly rooted in t…

*Limited edition of 100 copies.* This album, crafted entirely on a subharmonic framework and meticulously processed through tape manipulation, stands as Concepción Huerta’s sharpest work to date, undoubtedly her most abrasive, intense, and exhilarating. Her signature remains intact: an approach deeply rooted in drone, musique concrète, and hauntingly visceral textures. Conceptually, Huerta’s sonic vision evokes an image of open veins, not human veins, but those of the earth itself, the open vein…

The Hotel is proud to present its first release – Roots of Empathy, the debut album from London artist Henry Cyer. Written and recorded over the span of four years, the project manifests itself as an album of songs, a collection of photographs and a series of music videos. Roots of Empathy explores fear as an entity – both personal and impersonal, alien and familiar, real and dreamlike. The album pulls the listener into a mystical otherworld, where the self is dissolved and projected through a m…

After previous under-the-radar releases on the fabled Low Comapny and The Trilogy Tapes, Zaheer now appears under his own name on Thomas Bush's Men Scryfa. The sixth Screfys release, an image of wingless flight through flowing darkness. Focused Buchla studies exploring the process of unbelieving and realisation of the ultimate heretic as the self.  Zaheer Gulamhusein is a Leicester-based musician and lifelong student of esotericism, with previous releases appearing under the aliases XVARR, WASWA…

2007 release ** "Here is a record that sounds so retro that it seems modern and obsolete. Be Invisible Now! is the musical project of Marco Giotto from Treviso, a guy with a past in various bands, a collaboration with With Love and a passion for vintage instruments from the 70s. Neutrino, his first record, is played entirely with deliciously old-fashioned analog instruments. Vintage Roland and Korg keyboards, tube synthesizers and theremins at full blast. The result is a cosmic kraut journey wit…

2008 release ** Limited edition of 300 hand-numbered copies. Packaged in an oversize three panels cardboard sleeve. "“Weiß” is a split of two projects: Austrian B-Machina and German-Bulgarian Miel Noir. Miel Noir which was created in 2007 is a side project of Dimo D. founder of Svarrogh and playing in Allerseelen and Sturmpercht. Miel Noir’ sound, concept and atmosphere differ from Dimo’s main project Svarrogh, it’s another way and another music. Miel Noir performed live for the first time on ML…

David Jackman / Organum unveils a new chapter in his exploration of monumental, shifting sound structures with this latest release on Die Stadt. Picking up where works like Flames of Fire left off, the artist continues his singular journey into the alchemy of resonance and time, crafting immersive experiences that hover between density and dissolution, weight and weightlessness. The first disc draws the listener in with the familiar Organum signature—a thick, metallic drone humming with harmonic…

This is the seventh and last release in the Die Stadt CD series. Even though David Jackman gets the credit in the title, the music itself is pure Organum electronics—dense, noisy, and exactly what fans would expect. Emerging as a meditative gesture within the long and enigmatic arc of David Jackman’s output, Steadfast stands as both a summation and a deepening of concerns that have occupied him for decades. Issued as a double CD by Die Stadt, the release captures Jackman—best known for his work …

David Jackman (Organum) presents "Flames of Fire", a mesmerizing 47-minute composition titled 'Flames of Fire & Stars of Lighte the Sun Ariseth'. The piece unfolds with a metallic hum, evoking the resonant vibrations of a sitar, before dissolving into vast, shimmering drones that stretch into infinity. Departing from his work as Organum Electronics, this recording embraces a more organic sound while retaining subtle electronic textures. A sinuous, undulating tone weaves through the composition, …

300 copies. A Typical Night in the Pit is a collection of new music by Los Angeles' Nick Malkin. It is an album that finds the artist absorbed in the density and chaos of the urban complex. It is unquestionably an "LA album", but not the LA of hi-fi listening bars and twinkling, Instagram-ready new age. Rather, Malkin navigates something more akin to the LA found in the films of Robert Altman or Alan Rudolph -- overheated, tense, hazy, frayed -- with blue-lit, nocturnal compositions that at time…

300 copies limited edition With Contemplative Figuration, Broshuda pushes his amorphous, impossible-to-pin-down music in exciting new directions. Stitched together in various European cities over the last few years, it is the artist's most dynamic and ambitious release thus far, drawing equally from musique concrete, beat research, ambient, tape collage, and spoken word. Episodic in nature, the collection functions well as a sort of impressionistic travelogue, with romantic, hazy atmospheres coa…

*300 copies limited edition* New solo album by Eric Lanham (aka Carl Calm) of the Caboladies. Over the past fifteen years, Florida-based multi-instrumentalist Eric Lanham has quietly generated a diverse and remarkable body of work both as a solo artist and in group settings. From the disorienting drone/collage ecstasies of Caboladies, his trio with Christopher Bush (Flanger Magazine) and Ben Zoeller, to wildly divergent solo flights under both his own name and as Carl Calm, Lanham's carefully me…

*300 copies limited edition* Iggy goes West! Soda Gong welcomes back Kansas City-based musician Iggy Romeu with his latest collection as Mister Water Wet. Cold Clay from the Middle West is a (characteristically) sharp left turn from his last two records, with Romeu offering up a surprising and addictive mélange of crackpot Americana and smoky noir beat science. "Cold Clay Suite" opens the record, a five-part ride into the sunset that features Cooder-esque guitars, cat-gut fiddle, horse-hoof perc…

Non Standard Institute is a piano drone project by sound engineers Max Loderbauer (Sun Electric) and Tobias Freund (Pink Elln, Sieg Ûber Die Sonne), both prominent techno producers whose careers date back the mid-1980’s. Compared to their earlier work in, “Plays Non Standards” is an exploration into a completely different direction. The music is based on the sounds of the grand piano played by Loderbauer and the subtle electronic “treatments” by Freund, with the help of vintage Roland DEP 5 and …

*150 copies limited edition* Written during a period of geographic and artistic transition, Country Music traces Severin Black’s movement from London to Berlin, unfolding through cycles of isolation and adaptation. Composed on the city’s periphery, the album’s material was continually dismantled and reassembled, reflecting a process of both artistic and personal reconstruction. The album marks a shift in production methodology, moving away from the immediacy of summed live takes toward a more de…

*500 copies limited edition compilation with insert* This is a limited double-LP collection of artists who've been on either Fourth Dimension Records or Lumberton Trading Company, or are even indirectly associated. The title, based on the name of a childhood '50s sci-fi film favourite, not only reflects the bringing together of these two labels but also the fact that most of the artists they are concerned with tend to navigate a wide range of ideas and approaches. The 2LP also began as a reflect…

"This is the enigmatic description given by zakè (aka Zach Frizzell) of B⁴+3, a reimagined and expanded edition of B⁴ (Zakè Drone Recordings, 2023), which was originally composed to accompany a limited series of striking, chiaroscuro art prints created by the artist. While the suite may conjure grayscale melancholy, it is characteristically brimming with texture and depth. Anyone familiar with Frizzell’s worldly catalog of tape-saturated drone knows that each volume exists in its own unique clim…

"Generations" by Amsterdam based artist Origin ST is an introspective exploration of the various emotions which he went through during the pregnancy and birth of his first child - fear of change, anxiety, surprise, excitement, longing often all happening at the same time." - Origin ST

Around this time last year, Marc Ertel joined the stage with the PITP brethren James Bernard, zakè, and From Overseas for a live performance at the Gothic Chapel in Indianapolis, US which was eventually released as a limited vinyl LP. Since then, Ertel has been quietly working on new solo arrangements along with new compositions that will be part of an imminent Dawn Chorus and the Infallible Sea record. Just a few months after the Gothic Chapel performance, Ertel was invited to play a live set a…

Uoiea is a collection of meditative and textured minimalist ambient drone pieces created using only a Squier Bass VI and guitar pedals. Where in most of my compositions I tend to add layers and fill as many frequencies as possible, I opted instead to embrace the space between notes, the subtleness of the Bass VI's highest tones, and the general feeling of drifting slowly. The track names are nonsense pseudowords - descriptors of feelings and experiences that do not exist. This is an album for fl…

"hypnotism I" has held a special place on my hard drive since shortly after the release of mountain ambient IV. Like the piece itself, it evolved slowly and delicately. Each layer pulled me deeper into this hypnotic state of composition, listening, and re-composition that lasted for several months. Sometimes it would sit for weeks, patiently, before I added another small piece. The end result was so powerful, especially after such a long time, that I started putting everything new next to it in …

1996 release ** "In deference to this age of “environmental consciousness”, “Breathing”, says the insert, is “recycled and/or scavenged” pieces that once inhabited another form. The composer is Al Margolis, who appears on electronics, tapes, effects, piano, sampled flute, vocals, wind, cello and strings. He is joined by didjeridu, oboe and organ. The album beds itself in deep wind or breath like sounds, with an electronic, industrial, and dark edge."

** Edition of 250 ** In his essay ‘The Meaning of My Avant-Garde Hillbilly and Blues Music’, Henry Flynt talks about how his music should be analysed as an intellectual tribute to the music of the autochtone, setting aside plain folk references, but adopting academic insights to mold the music one makes as a folk creature. Much of Flynt’s discourse applies to the music of Glen Steenkiste’s Hellvete. Over the past twenty years he has been thoroughly investigating both the ethnic musical language …

"Wind Rust is the debut collaboration between zakè (aka Zach Frizzell) and Almøst Silent (aka France’s Guy Teixeira), comprising a quartet of long form pieces inspired by weather systems, erosion, and decay. Teixeira’s work spans many genres, but recent ambient drone albums for Post. Recordings and Healing Sound Propagandist brought him closer into Frizzell’s orbit, leading to an extensive exchange of ideas, and a mutual embrace of methods and styles. On Wind Rust, Teixeira worked primarily with…
