Aged Fractures And Dead Ends
*2022 stock.* Is it really dead? : yes, this release marks the end of Stratvm Terror. But what an end! Massive sounds of drowning liquids, mechanized background noises, brain mangler soundscapes and harsh abrasive amplifications. Playing this loud will probably make you deaf, but what else is there to listen to after experiencing this. 'Aged Fractures and Dead Ends' is a vast collection of various archive material produced by the Stratvm Terror constellation Peter Andersson (Raison d'être) and T…

Subject To Potential Errors And Distortions
*2022 stock. Limited edition of 300 copies.* "...a beautiful collection of music that at once is emblematically peaceful and yet also vibrates with an undeniable substratal energy." – Disquiet On his fifth solo album Fadi Tabbal delves deeper into the theme of alienation in a suffocating city. Composed and conceived almost entirely at his home in Beirut during Covid-19 quarantine, the record is his most intimate yet. While his previous solo work consisted solely of guitar pieces, this time Tabba…
Canticles Of Bliss
*Limited edition of 200 copies. 2022 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. By the beginning of August of that year I had everything wrapped up. An additional guitar was added to a track, as well as a mutated brass recording was featured on another. I us…
Dialog
AI-31 sees the debut release from a new collaboration between Samuel van Dijk (Netherlands) and Rasmus Hedlund (Finland). Both key proponents to the scene in Northern Europe, they come together with mutual understanding and a common vision to sound. Dialog acts as a conversational exchange that sees the interplay of dynamic frequencies, evocative imagery and contemporary sonic art. Spread across four sides, the album as a whole exists as a kind of metaphysical process, eternally growing and cont…
In Macrospace
*Limited edition of 120 copies. In process of stocking.* "In Macrospace“. The monolithic album debut by Hamburg-based DJ x producer x electronic music activist Baze.Djunkiii, the essence of 25+ years on the scene and continuous research in sonic fields reaching far beyond your regular club music.A dark and threatening journey through the realms of brooding DeathAmbient, cold, hostile sci-fi atmospheres and an innate feel of darkness, doom, desolation and industrial wastelands covered in toxic fu…
Woo'd Early
*2022 stock.* For a year, in 2015, Matthew Sage (aka M. Sage) cataloged near-daily recordings made with a very narrow creative constraint; electric guitar and a few pedals, all recorded and mixed directly to cassette 4-track. Eschewing the often complex studio gadgetry and computer editing that he relies on for his primary project, Free Dust became a respite that offered room for technique to fall away and for pure expression to surface. He collected and released more than two-and-a-half hours o…
We Were Never One
"We Were Never One" is the new album of The Star Pillow, whose last release dates back to 2019 with "Music For Sad Headbangers" (Midira Records). This last album is the original soundtrack composed for the homonymous contemporary dance performance by the austrian choreographer Karin Pauer with whom Paolo Monti has already collaborated for the performance "this is where we draw the line“ which premiered at the Donau Festival/ Krems 2019 and was performed in Romania, Austria and Italy. The tracks …
Plastic Love
*40 copies limited edition. 2022 stock* Can noise be romantic? Is it true that high volume sound helps to meditate? Can noise music be highly emocional? Will density make us float? It is these and others questions that Peak Bleak propose to answer in “Plastic Love”. Created from electric emanations, from three transformers captured with an electromagnetic pickup, modulated and reworked in real time in Desterro’s basement. Roughness, feedbacks and hauntings from fragmented melodies. Ephemeral noi…
Of Which One Knows
Of Which One Knows is a collection of works by Natalie Beridze that sit outside the easy categorisation of ‘al-bum’. They are of course, an album, but they are more than that, in that they represent a kind of multiplicity in sound, an accumulation of experience, of emotion, of life, transposed into sound. It is only together that the stories that sit between them might start to be assembled. Spanning a decade and a half, these works chart a trajectory of investigation and curiosity that charts t…
Deafened By The Noise Of Time
Pierce Warnecke’s work springs forth from the nexus of sound and vision. With Deafened By The Noise Of Time, he undertakes a deep interrogation of sound, which mirrors many of his approaches to visual ma-terials. Seeking to test how elements of music are altered through interference and deterioration, he uses a range of methods to reveal new densities, timbres and melodies from within his original source materi-als . Rather than becoming fragmented or overtly degraded though, Warknecke’s work on…
Too Ne
Yui Onodera’s work is patient. He invites a sense of dwelling with his pieces, an encouragement to pause and to allow sound to swell up around you. On Too Ne, he charts out a very specific sonic exploration. Across these five works he creates a lilting passage of sound, a liouidous flow that confirms the adage of Ambient music existing as constant, but never solid. Too Ne also invites a sensing of the self, in that the works ask us to examine our own memories as a way to unlocking a deeper reson…
Electro Nova
Like a rediscovered Viking burial ship, Electro Nova compiles near-mythical drone recordings produced in 1998 and described by Helge Sten aka Deathprod as some of the most important music to ever come out of Norway. It’s the work of Kåre Dehlie Thorstad and compiles two of the earliest releases on Smalltown Supersound, back when it was basically no more than a bedroom operation. It’s taken over two decades, but finally the label have given the material a first ever proper release on vinyl, compl…
Beneath Bridgewater
*200 copies limited edition* The Bridgewater Triangle is an actual 200 square mile forest and swamplands within Massachusetts, USA, an area known for paranormal activity, including UFOs, Bigfoot, Thunderbirds and ‘Pukwudgies’ – or spirits of the forest. ‘Beneath Bridgewater’ soundtracks the fictional experience of a rescue search team lost within the notorious Bridgewater Triangle.
It’s 1982 and a 19-year-old man has gone missing at Freetown Fall River State Park, located within the Triangle. A …
The Exquisite Corpse Shall Drink the New Wine
*Edition of 300 numbered copies Die-cut cardboard outer sleeve, color print inner sleeve + poly-liner sleeves.* "The exquisite corpse shall drink the new wine", wrote the French Surrealists almost 100 years ago, and from this missive stems the parlor game in which we partake here. Through obscuring the tower itself, they cobble together meandering staircases in which to ascend with absent-minded haste; spontaneous line-weaving amasses figures and phrases into new planes of thought, therefore hol…
R.S.F.
*In process of stocking.* 'Meth.O.Tapes' catalogue opens up on a programmatic framework in the form of Gil.Barte's first LP. Developped as an experimental exploration rather than a narrative, this object called « R.S.F » is a recollection of intriguing sonic pictures. Tracks neither really start nor they finish, pieces of an apparently unreasolvable puzzle like pages of a fantastic bestiary long forgotten.
Now Right Here
*2022 stock* The duo Minit (Jasmine Guffond and Torben Tilly) have taken a slightly more melancholic turn for their first release on Staubgold. Their two previous efforts released on the Sigma label were more abstract. This one marks an increase in lushness, smoothness, and dreamy near-melodies. In fact, Now Right Here could be described as a cross between Fennesz's Venice and Rosy Parlane's Iris. It has the filtered instrumental/melodic component of the former and the softer noise textures of t…
I II III IIII
*In process of stocking. 200 copies limiteed edition* The four pieces on this CD were written during travels, moving between places or being on the move. The first rough sketches have been developed further in different situations until they reached the final shape that can be heard on the album. These formations came about after many mood swings and rethinkings. Sometimes, the way to the final results was long, depending o the mood in the very moment, while working on the music. The manifestati…
Love Is Fine
*In process of stocking* This record is dedicated to Mark Hollis. It was thought for a long time and realized in four days of April in Quarto Escuro, in Porto. Everything at the first take, recorded with a lot of love and an unbelievable group of people. It was supposed to be ambient, but it ended up being free. The name is stolen from "Come Mellow, Love is Fine", a beautiful twistedfreak loop.
Composed and produced by Sal Grosso. Performed by Sal Grosso (electronics, percussions and harmonica),…
