Slow Reels combines Ian Hawgood's love of reel-to-reel tape machines and vintage synthesizers with James Murray's melodicism and richly textured digital sound design. Their Morr Music debut, "Farewell Islands", is an arresting, fluorescing album that blends full-frequency dronescaping with a slow-burning ambient minimalism.

Abu-l-Hasan al-Nuri primitive Sufi saint writes: "they possess nothing and are possessed by nothing" is the basis for five landscape studies, as an idea of ​​emptying the soundscape in its concept and also in its practice, a laboratory of environmental recordings and sampling. This work is visited by readings ranging from Céline to Novalis passing through Georg Buchner in his "Lenz" arriving at Arthur Schopenhauer, offering insights above all in his writings on music and in the "world as will an…

** Edition of 150 copies on risograph sleeves ** Dauw presents Great Prairie Plains: Studies of American Minimalism by Dylan Henner. The album starts with an arrangement of Terry Riley's In C. During his school-time, Henner was allowed by his music teacher - with plenty of persuasion, in an environment of mostly much straighter classical music - to study this piece. He not only had a deep familiarity with it, but also the pdf scores that he transcribed for his homework. The arrangement was creat…

** Edition of 120 Realtime Dubbed Cassettes on Chrome Tape ** Love All Day presents ‘Atmosfera’ a new album of electronic compositions from acclaimed artist & composer, Koen Holtkamp (of the duo Mountains, as well as the creator of solo works for labels such as Thrill Jockey, Type, and Umor Rex).

**  Limited to 100 LPs, comes with a two-sided insert and download code ** In recent years, Ned Milligan has pursued composition almost exclusively through chimes and cassette tape. Emphasizing live performance, this music was defined by equal parts improvisation and careful curation. His new LP, Enter Outside, demonstrates the tonal and textural qualities found on those recordings while expanding his palette with the inclusion of a singing drum. The title of this album--which can be interpreted…

"Lasting Clinamen is another step further in one of the most adventurous Polish experimental musician's quest for new sounds. In the four pieces on this CD Robert Piotrowicz takes his explorations of modular analogue synthesiser to a new level. While his previous releases were action packed experiments with the possibilities of the instrument, the new one is a statement from an artist who knows exactly what he wants to achieve. Robert has mastered his skills and feels confident with his tools, e…

**Packaged in a six-panel digipak, released in an edition of 200 copies.** Previously unheard brilliance from the late Matt Shoemaker. Work on "Mercurial Horizon" was largely completed during an incredibly fruitful period from 2008-2012, during which Shoemaker produced albums for The Helen Scarsdale Agency, Ferns Recordings, Mystery Sea, and Elevator Bath. He went on to finalize the material which would become "Mercurial Horizon" in 2015. Though unreleased until some five years after completion,…

**Minimax CD in full-color digipak. Edition of 200.** Exploded View is a stand-alone piece exploring the intricacies of manipulated micro-samples by two veterans in the art of sound collage. Colin Andrew Sheffield & James Eck Rippie work with turntables and samplers (both vintage and modern) in their ongoing experiments with the re-contextualization of found sounds. "Exploded View" showcases the duo's focus on fragments of audio - the shards of samples broken apart and re-shuffled, like the cut-…

**Released in a six-panel Digipak. Edition of 509 copies.** Matt Shoemaker's first full-length album for Elevator Bath is Soundtrack for Dislocation, an entirely self-contained account of a fantastically abstract and intensely personal vision. As with much of Shoemaker's work, this is an album permeated with a very potent sense of unease. And despite the fact that the use of field recordings is very minimal here, there is a no less organically tangible quality which only contributes to the feeli…

Spacious, Pan Sonic-adjacent minimalism on Noton from Italian producer Saele Valese. Like Sleeparchive or Alva Noto trapped in an abandoned underground factory - a vibe, basically.

** Edition 200. Comes with 350gsm card sleeve ** Alter is proud to present ‘Tendrils’, the first LP release from London based artist & musician Malvern Brume. After gathering some hushed praise from the UK underground for a couple of excellent cassette releases and strong local live performances, ‘Tendrils’ is the first definitive document of the Malvern Brume sound world. His instrumentation and sound sources would be considered familiar staples in the world of “experimental” music, but Salter …

**Full-color picture disc, released in an edition of 216 copies. 2021 Stock** A welcome return from Dale Lloyd with this, his first new release in three years. Akasha_for Record is a two-part composition, filled with highly dynamic intricacies very carefully arranged. Rich micro-detail meets subtle emotional resonance in a spellbinding work created specifically for the vinyl format. Akasha_for Record is an opulent listening experience, indeed, and one that will reward close, repeated scrutiny. T…

**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…

One third of the drone trio France and part of the La Nòvia collective, Yann Gourdon's practice focuses on acoustic phenomena and dynamic relationships with the environment. Having learned to play traditional music from Auvergne by listening to field recordings, Gourdon re-orientates tradition via minimalism, honing in on a place or location's unique vibratory fields, volumes and surfaces. Yann Gourdon: Hurdy-Gurdy. Recorded at librairie Pied-de-Biche Marque-Page (43) by Guilhem Lacroux. Artwork…

Special limited edition of 1000 copies on opaque light grey vinyl. For over half a decade, William Basinski and Lawrence English have been in regular contact with one another. During that time their paths have crossed repeatedly in various cities; Zagreb, Los Angeles, Hobart and more, in a variety situations. It was from these chance encounters – and the strange familiar of lives lived in transit – that their first collaboration, Selva Oscura, was seeded.  The phrase Selva Oscura draws its root …

** Cassette tape with an illustration from Helge Reumann, limited edition ** Formed by Swiss post-metal veterans from Knut and Abraham, strom|morts’ goal is to compose music inspired by their Alpine environment and its weather, which glides over impassive mountains, evolving with the seasons. Such a landscape encourages deep listening – minimalist musics whose subtle evolutions reveal themselves over several minutes, disturbing the perception of time passing or even provoking, through deep and s…

**Red cassette housed in a black double-flap cover featuring extended sleeve design** A "reflection on how diversity can [create] a sense of infinity”,  Giulio Aldinucci's No Eye Has an Equal sees the Siena composer delving into his extensive archive of electroacoustic compositions, and presenting four radical reconceptualisations of his own material; each one a view into the deeply personal atmospheres he has created, and perfected, over a decade of composing.Opener Brezza (Perduti arsi tramont…

* Edition of 80. Very last copies, in process of stocking. * Druuna Jaguar, the musical project of Portuguese sound artist Jorge Mantas, has always shifted its presentation based on the project's immediate surrounding, no matter how involved or abstract. A majority of the output by Druuna Jaguar is somewhat hard to come by, as most is released (and distributed solely from the small medieval enclave of Évora, Portugal) in rare limited editions through Mantas own experimental label, Atelier 5-7-5,…

**2021 Stock** Bob Bellerue's new double-LP, "Music of Liberation," is a careful and intricate album of textured drone and shapely noise. Like the greatest works by post-industrial masters David Jackman (Organum) and Steven Stapleton (Nurse With Wound), its power lies not in harshness, but in dynamic spectral intensity. These are minutely composed pieces with very great attention paid to timbral details and variances. Through the last few years, Bellerue has released a series of highly acclaimed…

**Full-color picture disc, released in an edition of 233 copies. 2021 Stock ** Much of Matt Shoemaker's recorded output prominently features the use of field recordings (see his "Tropical Amnesia One" CD), but in this case he has eschewed such grounded measures and has instead sculpted a two-part puzzle which seemingly exists on some other plane(t). Layer upon evolving layer of sonic phenomena is still the methodological trademark, but the content is almost entirely electronic, lending a great d…

** 515 copies ** Here, finally, is the gorgeous presentation that astronomy domine Rick Reed's music so richly deserves: Two black vinyl LPs, pressed on 180-gram virgin vinyl, with full-color labels, inside black poly-lined sleeves, housed in a matte-finish full-color gatefold jacket adorned with Reed's vibrant and fantastically evocative paintings. Included with each copy of this set is a full-color download card featuring access to high-quality MP3s of the complete contents of the vinyl record…

** 500 copies ** Tom Recchion’s Proscenium, released by Elevator Bath, is a beautiful piece of ambient/drone that was originally created for Janie Geiser’s play, Invisible Glass. Proscenium is a subtle and remarkably controlled collection of atmospheres. The air of mystery, deliberate pacing, the deep tones and unidentified sounds of Recchion's 2006 album Sweetly Doing Nothing have been explored even further here. It's a logical development but the results are unexpected and strikingly original,…

* Limited Edition 300 copies High Quality 180gr Black Vinyl * These musical compositions – which I called Istantanee (snapshots) – were realized with sonic materials issued from experimental studies on the expressive capabilities of the instrument arranged in such a way as to take account of the rhythmic and harmonic peculiarities of the material itself. To maintain the spontaneity of the original musical idea, each snapshot was recorded three or four times on different kinds of tape – the timbr…

** Edition of 100 copies, red vinyl with hand silkscreened cover ** Mai Mai Mai special release, recorded at Home during the period of Lockdown due to the Pandemic.  I am taking time to meditate and to imagine possible futures that we are all called to build as a collective, the time given by this Quarantine to rethink the world has we know it. These two long tracks represent a sound picture of this moment.  It's Meditation. "Isola" means "Island": we ended up being on our private and personal I…

‘Anomi’ is Sonja Tofik’s first full-length LP, and a continuation of her debut ‘Neuros’. Anomi is the Swedish word for the sociological term anomie, first coined by french sociologist Émile Durkheim in 1893. Described as ‘the condition in which society provides little moral guidance to individuals’, he suggested that for societies to function and their individuals to prosper, they need to be driven by strong and distinct norms, both social and moral. If absent, individuals are exposed to anomie,…

* 180 gram Vinyl * The title of Miki Yui’s seventh solo album “Aperio!” is derived from the latin origin of April, "aperire" meaning “to open” or “to reveal”. Hinting at the way her music unveils another reality which is hidden beneath the surface. The title also reflects the aperiodic character of the music, its irregularity. Like a magic word to reveal the mysterious cosmos, each song opens up another intimate world of wonders."All my work emerges from my physical experience, the inspiration o…

Following 2019’s New Atlantis LP under his alias Efdemin, Phillip Sollmann’s Monophonie is a project dedicated to uniting different strands of utopian music. His approach: combining and recontextualizing rare historical instruments of sonic research of Hermann von Helmholtz (19th century) with the self-designed, microtonal instruments of Harry Partch and metal sound sculptures of Harry Bertoia. The result is a psychedelic investigation into just intonation – alternative tuning systems that creat…

* Edition of 100 in A5 sized folder. * Somniātōrēs is is the second album I recorded about sleep. This is a follow up to the album Music for Thái Ngọc which was released in October 2016. For this album I reworked several pieces from the "Sæti" EP and the album "Suppressing an unpleasant feeling..." album as one new recording. While still being recognizable the sound has become even more dreamy and warmer, and there is more room for long sustained drone sounds. Already for a long time I wanted to…

New England's Lee Tindall has been a mainstay of the noise/electronic scene for some time. Working as Zerfallt and Belarisk, and in a variety of groups (including Astronaut with Daniel Lopatin), Tindall has been perfecting what he calls "Hy-Fy mutant music" for a decade, working on the fringes of a sound that has slipped in-and-out of focus.  As Belarisk, Tindall taps into the more melodic side of experimental electronic music, applying his expert-level technical skills to digital and analog syn…

Finally repressed! Then it was time for the man himself, Wolfgang Voigt. This, to put it simply, was a masterclass in ambient music. The sounds, beautiful; the transitions; perfect; the experience, unforgettable. The sound emanating from his quite simple set up filled up the church completely, in a room lit only by a few candles, his music shone through and brought everything to life. Everyone and everything became one with the music, moving with its ups and downs, delighting in it’s near perfec…

In 2019, Niblock can no longer host his annual six hour-long solstice concert at the Experimen…

**Edition of 600** A four track mini CD combining the never released two 10 inch's Maus (DS57) and Die Hennen Zähne (DS66). Die Hennen Zähne opens with Die Kralle actually a David Jackman track from his archive recorded in the early 1980's. Next is the title track Die Hennen Zähne, a joyful noise not unlike some of the TNB/Organum material incl. the sound of broken glass and tibetan horns, best to be experienced loud. Maus is the centre piece of this mini album and typical old school Organum. Th…
