Cuspa Llullu
* Edition of 300 * For its second collaboration release, Daniel Menche & Anla Courtis go further and deeper into their previous steps. “Cuspa Llullu” is an intense journey through a kaleidoscopic sound labyrinth which seems to come from nowhere/everywhere.
Side A moves into metallic corridors with multi-layered surfaces which keep changing until its last second. Side B begins outdoors but somehow it soon starts visiting several inner regions until it reaches its final climax. But what is exactly…
Vlakverdeling
* Edition of 200 * Cinema Perdu returns with his third album for Moving Furniture Records Vlakverdeling. He further explores the human impact on the landscape, as he did on previous albums Interventions in a landscape and Amsterdam CS.
"During my regular trips to the Dutch province of Friesland I became more and more aware of the strict demarcations in the Dutch landscape. Each time I travelled up and down the polder, the atmosphere of the landscape changed. These changes of atmosphere where not…
En De Stilstaande Tijd
* Edition of 300. Pressed on clear translucent vinyl in spot-varnish artwork * With 'En de stilstaande tijd' (roughly translated: 'And the frozen time' / 'And the stillness of time') Orphax (Sietse van Erve) returns with a new work that further explores the themes of time and perception of the listener. The new album follows in line with Orphax works like 'Time Waves', '2.20' and 'Live Circles', with added emotional depth. In this sense 'En de stilstaande tijd' is a continuation of 'Piano Music'…
The Age Of Space
* Edition of 200 * Joel Gilardini is an experimental guitarist and sound designer, based in Zurich (Switzerland). His solo ambient oriented works are often based on the use of live‐looping and instant composition techniques. It’s a very unique biosphere of ambient, drone, dub, doom elements and morphing soundscapes. Joel Gilardini opens at Montags for Nik Bärtsch’s Ronin/Mobile on regular basis at Exil club (Zurich/CH), and has taken part to Y2K International Live-Looping festivals in Zurich, Pa…
Polarities
Brussels’ based media saboteur Yann Leguay operates with conscious ambiguity at the intersection of music, sound art and installation. Depending on the context you could as well describe him as a performance artist, a musician or a visual artist. He has little interest for such definitions and feels all the more unobstructed in his work, ready to hop from one domain to the other freely. On this release for Tanuki records he presents two contrasted pieces. The A-side, entitled “Here I am / A port…
On Amorphous Dawn
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…
In Between
* Edition of 200 * The shaman, the witch and the artist are three different figures, united by the desire for transcendence. Overcoming the material contingencies of one's context through the magic-creative gesture, which makes the will real, is their ultimate goal. The shaman, inducing the trance, seeks contact with the higher entities.
Through the ritual, the witch intends to bend nature to man. The artist, through his work, creates allusions, images, hints of worlds hidden outside and inside …
Isola/Azione
** 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…

G2, 44+/x2
Room40 present a reissue of Phill Niblock's G2,44+/X2, originally released in 2002. Matte laminate embossed sleeve; includes insert card and 24-page book with liner notes from Bill Meyer, interview, and photos. Design by Traianos Pakioufakis.
Liner notes from Bill Meyer: "In 2001, Phill Niblock wrote, 'You should play the music very loud. If the neighbors don't complain, it's probably not loud enough.' In 2019, Niblock can no longer host his annual six hour-long solstice concert at the Experimen…
Feeling The Spirit
“Like La Monte Young and The Incredible String Band stuck in an elevator." In the process of relocating to Den Bosch's Willem Twee Studios, The Transcendence Orchestra let love slip deftly out of its gate and reverberate around the walls of the studio's main hall, a high ceilinged former synagogue in the city's old town. Working intensively to capture its echoes, they coaxed it to appear in pipes and strings, directed it through resonant circuits and shepherded it round the room with beaters, ho…
The Koln ConZert Live 2008
**In process of stocking** Recorded live at the Stadtgarten -2008. Composed and played by Merzbow and Richard Pinhas. In 2008, guitarist and rock electronics innovator Richard Pinhas performed in Koln a duo concert with notorious 'noise' artist Merzbow. Merzbow’s collaboration with French pioneer Richard Pinhas features some of his best music and gleefully amplifies the psychedelic tendencies of both composers.It is fascinating to hear these two imposing figures interact.
RG Rough - Makoto Kawabata
**In process of stocking** A collaboration between Makoto Kawabata ( leader of the legendary Japanese psychedelic band Acid Mothers Temple) and the French/British multi-instrumentalist RG Rough. The pair create an unsettling sonic jungle in which Makoto's guitar drones multiply, intertwine and collide with a wide variety of electronic and concrete sounds and percussion. On two occasions a soft, sleepy sounding voice comes out of nowhere and whispers a strange lullaby which soon disappears under …
'Rückverzauberung' Live In London
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…
Alpha Lemur Echo
Mycophile Records presents a live concert by Jim O'Rourke - Guitar, Electronics, Michael Prime - Electronics and Eddie Prévost - Percussion. Track 1 was recorded live at Jackman's Lane Centre, London 1994 and Track 2 was recorded 27/8/90 in Catford.
A Static Place / Remain
**200 copies** Schwebung presents a 2CD edition of Stephan Mathieu's A Static Place and Remain, originally released in 2001 by 12k and Line, respectively. "A Static Place is about the journey of sound. Between 1928 and 1932 the earliest recordings of historically informed performances of music from the late Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque era were etched into 78RPM records. I used some of these records from my collection, playing them back with two mechanical acoustic HMV Model 102 gramophones. …
A Symphony For Amiga
Music for Amiga is Vito Ricci’s first vinyl record of original music in decades. This project was made on the Commodore Amiga (with it's infamous sound chip) composing all the pieces on Music Mouse - Laurie Spiegel's pioneering software from the mid-80s.
Cross the Desert
**200 copies** Looking for the desert, awaiting abandonment, marrying detachment: essential steps for those who ardently want new dawns and new lands to get lost in. First of all losing the common coordinates, the secure footholds, the consolidated certainties, forgetting scores, borders and judgments. A laying down, on the one hand, of the external conventions in order to make room and give light to the unexpected, to what pulsates underground, unheard. On the other hand, a putting aside of one…
When Only Shades Remain
Andrea Marutti (Amon and Never Known, among others) and Giuseppe Verticchio (Nimh) have teamed up again for this new Hall of Mirrors monumental release. Textural, noisy, profound dark ambient with some pretty 'melodic' patterns hidden behind layered noises and evolving drones. Astonishing, to say the least.
Altered Nights
Third CD from the acclaimed collaboration between Andrea Marutti (Amon, Never Known, among others) and Giuseppe Verticchio (Nimh). Spread out over two CDs and totaling over 100 minutes, there's a lot to absorb here; organic, textural ambience that's murky and abstract, uncurling like tendrils of smoke before coalescing into a simulacrum of shadowy figures, to turbulent, more immersive post industrial sounds that prowl the depths of subterranean caverns and forgotten, still radioactive ruins. Fea…
