Air de repos (Breathworks)
A double vinyl and a catalogue that constitute a proper extension of the exhibition with which the Capc in Bordeaux continues to question the forms that the museum can take (here transformed into a temporary breathing assistance machine) by developing the idea of the exhibition as an atmosphere, with the aim of creating a renewed awareness of what it means to breathe, not only on an individual level, but also on a collective one, at a time when the world is living in a climate of generalized asp…
Sub.terra
2003 release ** "The Foundry is pleased to announce the SUB.TERRA Project, a full length CD featuring remixes/recyclings of Interstitial's epic 'sub. Terra' piece. Contributors include vidnaObmana, Vir Unis, Saul Stokes, Michael Bentley (eM), and, of course, the inspirator Interstitial (John Koch-Northrup). The starting point, 'sub. Terra', is a composition that blends ambient textures with adventuresome trumpet excursions into a truly unique hybrid sound. As John (Interstitial) tells it, 'sub. …
Interweaving #1
“interweaving #1” is the sound-aesthetic result of an improvised session by rsn and NAGEN. With a setup of stereo guitar, bass, electric kalimba, selfbuilt instruments like the "portanuum", sampled field recordings and some little synths, seven songs or sound collages were created, which combine the drone and ambient of rsn with the improvisational art of NAGEN. “interweaving #1” is a dynamic sound experience with a focus on noise and drone, but much more.
The Salamander Treaty
Over the years, Andreas O. Hirsch has shaped a distinctive sound, exploring the possibilities of the electro-acoustic instruments he constructs. The Carbophone as well as the Electrified Palm Leaf are plucked instruments akin to the African Kalimba or Mbira. In combination with effects and loops, Hirsch creates an experimental space, influenced by early electronics, Asian and African music as well as the possibilities of editing and collage. The majority of the pieces on The Salamander Treaty we…

The Séance At Hobs Lane
The next in an ongoing series of Ghost Box back catalogue re-issues, Séance at Hobs Lane is an overlooked classic of British electronics. Its sinister atmospherics are comprised of VCS3 synthesizer squalls, howling guitar, skronking sax, and oddly haunting keyboard and cello melodies. The album has a similar eccentric and disturbing atmosphere to the work of great mid-century British experimentalists like Desmond Leslie, Daphne Oram or Tristram Carey.
Hobs Lane is the fictional tube station whe…
Styx
2025 stock ** "The 7th full-length album from the Russian masters of "stockmarket industrial". "Styx" is the most mainstream-oriented work in the Cyclotimia discography. The music here is free of experimental and academic explorations traditional for the band; here the emphasis is made on the rhythmical component. Inexorable like an economic recession and steadfast like a financial indicator chart, eleven compositions depict the sickly technogenic reality of the planet wrapped by networks of glo…
Tapes Singles And Remixes
2010 release ** "This first CD album presents the old tracks restored from tapes, as well as exclusive remixes made by Guido Hübner (Das Synthetische Mischgewebe). It's a wonderful excursion into the world of underground noise music which is sometimes extreme but always interesting and unpredictable. Thi is a very special appearance in our personal music research, and is a real discovery for all the fans of the experimental music genre. The Oval Language is a project existing since 1987, created…

Al-Zulfiquar Shaheed
People believe that the magic of Muslimgauze works best with looong tracks. Think the same? Then "Al-Zulfiquar Shaheed" is exactly for you! 75 minutes of mellow eastern-style hypnotism. Consisting of only five parts, the album shows Bryn's ability to create lengthy and detailed compositions filled with Arabic percussion, droning keyboards, vocal samples and ethereal atmospheres. A strong rhythmic, yet melodic album, that should be in the collection of every Muslimgauze fan. Definitely one of Bry…
Altarwise
2009 release ** "We are very pleased to present the latest recordings by Birds Of Tin: a project we have long admired and fate finally brought us together. The two lengthy tracks of "Altarwise" were recorded in late 2004 and remastered earlier this year. The first track is a 30-minute experimental work that gradually moves through a wide range of sounds (echoing chimes, mysterious noises, subdued clanking, drones). The second piece is an epic 46-minute composition of deep ambient/drone music tha…
Jack Ruby
2025 stock When Don Fleming was doing the initial transfers of the tapes we’d gotten retrieved from Randy Cohen’s barn, every evening seemed to bring a new surprise. But nothing was a bigger jawdropper than the material which makes up the second LP of our Jack Ruby archival series.
The central core of the album is the sixteen-and-a-half minute track, “Destroy/Lost”, recorded at the band’s rehearsal space in January ’74. Robin Hall vocalizes and Boris plays electric viola, but the bulk of the pie…
Further Opinions about Death
*200 copies limited edition* This is the second collaborative album between Matteo Uggeri (based in Milan) and Andrea Bellucci (from La Spezia). Their first work, "The Soundtrack of Your Secrets", was developed amid the well-known challenges of the pandemic, between 2020 and 2022. The last song of that album was titled “Opinions about Death”. Afterward, Matteo faced an even more difficult period in his life, accompanying his mother through her final days after a long illness that had lasted sinc…

In The Shelter Of Chaos
2000 release (light storage wear) ** "Chaos As Shelter, from Israel, is one of those bands that don't really need to be presented. He has fastly become a big name in the ambient industrial world thanks to a handful of releases on various labels around the world."
Disc Rot
Long and intermittent running duo of Discrepant head honcho Gonçalo F Cardoso and Angela Valid's Alex Jones, with sometime collaborator Phil Laney aka Kenny Hosepipe joining in somewhere along the way, Hair & Treasure crossover from Sucata Tapes to Discrepant wax via 'Disc Rot'. Described by the duo, in their cryptic and scatological fashion, as "a fetid spread from the buttery catacombs of Hair & Treasure", one can only speculate on the mindset, if not for the scenario, for these file swap reco…
Berceuses des Deux Mondes
"As our ears wander into the cacophony of a saturated world, drowned by the dissonance and excess of noise that besieges us, Rien Virgule invites us to explore sonic interstices, to slow down and resist the frenzy. With ‘Berceuses des deux mondes’ (‘Lullabies of the two worlds’), the deafening fires of the din are extinguished, the volume of the over-amplified world calms down, and music becomes a refuge. We listen as we contemplate a flickering candle flame, tinged with a luminous melancholy. T…
Cosa Rara
A prolific and limitless musician, performer, composer, and sound artist, Lucrecia Dalt challenges both genre and form, pulling apart familiar elements of pop and experimental music and reassembling them in unexpected ways. Breaking through to a wider audience with her acclaimed 2022 album ¡Ay!, Dalt has also made a name as a composer for film and TV, including her original, acclaimed scores for HBO’s series The Baby, Cannes 2024 feature film winner On Becoming a Guinea Fowl, and the forthcoming…
Gnäw II
Tip! “We draw a magic circle and accept a new set of rules that reigns from there,” says Arash Ghasemi in describing the foundation of Gnäw, his duo with Simo Hakalisto. Hakalisto and Ghasemi first met in Milano, but they were born and raised in Finland and Iran, respectively. Gnäw melts together these musical roots with various chips and splinters from the different musical worlds and genres they have collected along the way. While Ghasemi brings an understanding of the vastness of the desert, …
