Forest Of Tines (Egil Kalman Plays The Buchla 200)
*300 copies limited edition* Egil Kalman has levelled up on this one; we were stunned by his last solo opus, and on ‘Forest of Tines’, the bassist/synthesist has traded the EMS Synthi 100 for the Buchla Series 200, recording at Stockholm’s illustrious Elektronmusikstudion (EMS). Here, he builds on themes he explored on his debut with a generous 20 track double album that marks firmer lines between Scandinavian folk music and contemporary electro- acoustic minimalism.
Using woody, synthesised ton…
Selectie 02
** 2024 lucky restock, sold out at the source ** Recorded in 1975. Selected by Dennis Tyfus. This is the second in a series of Edmond de Deyster (who sadly died in '99) archival lp's. Edmond de Deyster left an incredible amount of reel tapes behind, full of beautiful analog synthesizer music. His family was kind enough to share this archive with us. It took me way longer than expected to get this second installment together, partly because I wanted to interview his relatives and other people who…
Infinite Probabilities (Particle 2)
"Quantum mechanics unfolds an intricate realm of limitless possibilities and probabilities, eluding easy definition. It paints a picture of the universe vastly different from our perceptible reality. What captivates me is the lens through which I perceive sound, akin to the principles of quantum physics—I don't merely hear the audible, but rather, I extract elements to construct novel auditory experiences. My profound interest in science, particularly quantum mechanics, originates around 2008-20…
Thunder Perfect Mind
Black vinyl, includes double sided poster. 3LPThe original release of Nurse with Wound's gargantuan "Thunder Perfect Mind" in 1992 coincided with that of Current 93's homonymous genre-defining album. Legend has it that the gnostic name initially appeared to Steven Stapleton in a dream as the title of Tibet's then still nameless upcoming album. Both records feature contributions from David Tibet, Colin Potter, Rose McDowall, John Balance of Coil, Alan Trench of Orchis and Joolie Wood amongst othe…

Into the Void
*33 copies limited edition* Archaic is the electronic music project of Jelle Groen and Pieter Hooghiem from the Netherlands. Their paths serendipitously intersected at a vibrant local cultural concert hall, where classical music, eclectic melodies and live performances ignited their shared passion for music, technology, and diverse musical interests. Their shared workplace with Willem Twee Studios (Netherlands), made them interested into the world of modular synthesis and the collaborative effor…
How To Cut A Thought
Celestino is the project of Portland based musician Gabriel Celestino Higgins. This latest offering, Beyond Enemy, expands the sound world he created so vividly on his previous edition for A Guide To Saints, Kindling. Darker than its predecessor, Beyond Enemy draws out the textural harmony of his previous records into decidedly heavier territories. A vague industrial overtone reigns throughout much of this edition, a smoggy beauty akin to light caught in tainted cloud. The edges of the tones are…
Conocido
Here are moments where growth and decay are indistinguishable, when it’s hard to say for sure if you’re falling to pieces or watching a sublime pre-language unfold. Lyrels’ 'Conocido' is this riddle frozen in time and expanded. Its five tracks are a seamless meditation not on how it is that something becomes nothing, or how nothing is built back into something once again, but on the very real power of that thin sliver of meaning that lies in-between. 'Conocido' exists in a space unafraid of dest…
A Night Residue
Four-panel offset printed j card with photography by Katie Day Weisberger and professionally dubbed chrome tape. Edition of 100. Recording in a bedroom studio in the very late evening on the brink of slumber, Pentros wanders the off-roads between electronic and acoustic spaces. In its improvisational unfolding, A Night Residue evokes the contingent atmosphere of dreams- aural atmosphere paradoxically defined by a cloud of melodic fragments. Disparate elements coalesce in moments of sharp lucidit…
William Suran
William Suran’s eponymous release is his second solo offering and the first with Love All Day. Suran (whose primary practice is as a visual artist) studied painting at the Kansas City Art Institute and now resides in Brooklyn where he makes extremely labor intensive and exquisitely rendered old-master level water color paintings of flowers, some of which have taken up to seven years to complete. Along with his painting materials, Suran keeps eight vintage tape echo machines and a guitar in his B…
Clarté Déserte
*100 copies limited edition on clear vinyl* New 10 track studio album by Andrew Chalk and Timo van Luijk, recorded 2020-2021 at Impression Lointaine and Kulta Saha.
"Forth unobserved I wentIn darkness and security,By the secret ladder, in disguise,In secret, seen of none,Oh night more lovely than the dawn!Lost to all things and myself,And, amid the lillies forgotten,Threw all my cares away"
Martin Rev
LP version. "Martin Rev's eponymous debut solo record was released in 1980, not long after the second Suicide LP appeared. It is one of the most seminal albums to have emerged in the early years of electronic music?. The tension between his hypnotic drum machine salvoes and Alan Vega's irrepressibly expressive voice on stage or in the studio created an electrifying mix, and yet these six supremely minimal compositions were no less impactful without Vega's voice. There is an enchanting simplicity…
Yö näkyy
*200 copies limited edition* 'Yö näkyy' comprises of 2 longform pieces where a minimalistic approach takes a central place. Short snippets and longer waves gradually go back and forth and slowly build up spaces where the listener can settle in easily. The touching softness of his work does the trick again and depicts the unique voice of the artist.
Olli Aarni is a sound artist living in Helsinki. He graduated in the Masters of arts in 2016 while he was already releasing his first work through l…
