Alt i Stykker
Danish composer and sound artist Peter Jørgensen’s new album Alt I Stykker continues a trajectory into an expansive and highly personal sound-world. A remarkable series of compositions hewn from a multi-faceted mirroring of musical elements and life events. Alt I Stykker (All in Pieces) resonates perfectly as a title of his three new works. It hints at the emotional turbulence of their genesis and their passage into being through a rich complement of approaches and collaborators. This album furt…
Art Takes a Holiday
Performing throughout the 1980s as Art Carnage to the gloomy hipsters of Portland, Attilio Panissidi III decided he needed a vacation. The result of his creative escape became Art Takes a Holiday, an album of fabricated FM synthscapes and MIDI environments that embrace elements of smooth jazz, new age, and pop. Attilio had been playing in bands since he was thirteen, and had opened live shows for countless acts, from The Shangri-Las to Bruce Hornsby. The experience of producing, performing, as w…
Songs Hurt Me
**400 copies** Discos Transgénero is proud to announce the re-issue of Marnie Weber's classic first solo LP, Songs Hurt Me, originally published in 1989. This seminal album was an important part of the Los Angeles post-punk performative art rock scene.

These songs were born from Weber’s earliest performance art characters: a deer, an old woman, a manic courtesan and a butterfly. Songs Hu…
Oak House
**200 copies** Behind Oak House stands mysterious D.

A New Beginning
**100 copies, 2019 stock** Recorded in 2012, 'A New Beginning' documents the latest phase of the ongoing collaboration between Celestino and Jams P Valentine, a partnership that also yielded 2009’s 'Sky Burials'. The compositions on this Secret Courts album were created through a staggered, elastic process, with Celestino weaving sonic backcloths on which Valentine could embroider a response. The production is conversational and complementary, but yields a panoramically conceived sound world – t…
Traveller
**250 copies** Love All Day follows up last year’s Planetary Peace reissue with Warren Sampson’s little-known ambient masterpiece 'Traveller'. Hailing from Minnesota and inspired by the early work of Brian Eno and Jon Hassell, Sampson infused their compositional modes with a self-effacing and distinctly Upper Midwest approach that is equal parts isolated and expansive. 'Traveller' was recorded in a bedroom closet studio on a four-track TEAC reel-to-reel between the late 1970s through the mid 198…
