Ton
2012 release ** Limited edition of 150 copies. "Ton is the project of Dimitris Damaskos (aka Damcase) and Haris Koutsokostas (Vokal Idiot). The duo creates a diverse audio environment blending analogue sound sources with field recordings and lo-fi samples with sine waves & high pitched tones.

Three:four Split Series Volume 3
2025 Stock. Last copies. Annelies Monseré always has had the urge to record many versions of one song and then remaining deeply in doubt which version to choose. For this release, she did not chose. (Though this is not completely true - there are still more versions of the song - including an a cappella version) She was interested in how different arrangements, tempo's, melodies and structures changed the expressive and aesthetic qualities of the song, convinced that no version is more 'essentia…
7 Runs (In Arc Mental Styling)
*200 copies limited edition* "On the new album 7 Runs (In Arc Mental Styling), Max Eilbacher juggles a series of electronic tones, carefully sculpted and spaced to form what the Berlin-based composer describes as “a structural mirage made from constant movement.” Following a conceptual compositional algorithm, Eilbacher’s effervescent, repetitive digitally constructed electronic tones seem to endlessly rise across two side-long climbs that bend and twist like a barber pole. It’s a quality extenu…
Process Of Elimination
Process of Elimination explores sickness as a teacher for anti-capitalist modes of being; a rewilding of the self. The product of an attempt to be indestructible, this sickness has an unknown diagnosis. The only route to determine the indeterminable is via a process of elimination. Eliminate the noise so it may quieten and make space for listening to what whispers underneath, allowing a return to the present moment. Slowness and queerness as technologies, questions as answers and mysticism as a …

O Comme Icare
1992 release ** "Eric La Casa and Sylvie Larouche's first album of lush, cinematic ambience and unsettling atmosphere from 1992. La Casa's sense of drama and timing might sound familiar to those who know his (entirely excellent) later work with field recordings."
Pong
2010 release ** "The main instrument on this CD is the organ, which sounds in fast mechanical sequences a bit unusual for our ears and more typical for the Berlin school of electronic music. Simple compositional structure meets vivid expression, liturgical atmosphere and a sublime metaphysical line running through the whole concept of the project. Some parallels can be drawn with the CD of the Sphere Rex project, released in 2009 by the same community of labels. And it is no coincidence, as bot…
Falling Down Fearless Of Bruises
1999 release ** "Zonk't comes from Paris and is led by Laurent Perrier who used to be in Nox, Cape Fear and ran the Odd Size label and store. He is now recording under this pseudonym, and also uses the alias Heal."

Approaches #1
“approaches #1” is a study based on electronically amplified objects. The first phase is the selection and microphoning of objects that are familiar in everyday life and in the context of music. The second phase is the alienation and merging. Live, the tracks run through effect pedals, creating a continuous drone. “approaches #1” is a shallow monster that is both demanding and highly immersive. - rsn

Purr
2006 release ** "All tracks on Purr have originally been composed for choreography. Laurent Perrier, the mastermind behind Zonk t, has reconstructed the tracks for his third release to make it a coherent album to listen to. And he definitely succeeded in that. The musical outbursts of the Frenchman are very minimalistic and could best be categorized as ambient. The fact that he uses only minimal sources and sounds for his creations doesn t mean that the tracks are boring, predictable or easy. O…

2011 release ** "Live recordings from Syntjuntan’s first two years. Music especially composed for textile accessories. The music is tangled with lace and long stitches, embroidered with electronic sounds, square waves and curled noise. Syntjuntan is an ensemble of female composers, musicians and instrument builders.
