Early Works
Italian composer Lorenzo Senni unleashes his first album on the world, and it's a minor masterpiece in ear-searing digital manipulation and exuberant sound design. There's something very much reminiscent of the golden age of Mego about all this, and in addition to the more commonplace Fennesz influences evident on 'pool5' and the like, you'll hear wild and inventive takes on the sort of material explored by Pita, General Magic and Farmers Manual. 'spckrft' is a vicious piece of sonic demolition,…

Ministry of Excess
Obscene data and expressive concepts: while being sober all the time, Kashual Plastik launches the “Ministry of excess”. A 21-track strong tape compilation of unrestricted musical memoirs, created by individuals with no memory. Transportive noise, catching sounds from all hums. Experimental sculptures, fractured in research. Hunting the sub-consciousness of things. Instinct acting from an inner necessity. Making familiar objects be as if they were not familiar - and vice versa. On the bill KP ac…

Frequencies For Leaving Earth Vol.2
Kevin Richard Martin(The Bug/King Midas Sound/ Zonal), today launches his own digital label, Intercranial Recordings, with the simultaneous, twin release of ‘Frequencies for Leaving Earth Vol.1’ and ‘Frequencies for Leaving Earth Vol.2’. Both volumes were composed, mixed and produced during the lockdown period. Kevin spent this surreal, intense time, rebuilding his studio and retreating into these alternate sonic realities… Volume 1 is epically slow. Three graceful tracks that are as beautiful …
Heimito Künst
Synthesizers, field recordings, magnetic tapes together with percussion, various microphones and stringed instruments fill the listening of this musical elegy. In his debut album Heimito Künst takes us inside kaleidoscopic sound visions in which, between references to the darkest and most disturbing kraut sound and experimental sequence plans based on noise polyrhythms, he makes us glimpse wave structures that lead us directly to breathe the author's panic dust . The album was recorded live with…
Textuur 1
*200 copies limited edition* "This album is part 1 in a series where I investigate processes with which to strip sounds from their original context and slice them into tiny bits. By doing this, sounds are separated from their source and as such severed from what they originally represented. What’s interesting and challenging for me in this project is to find the crossover area where representation disappears, and the sound becomes an abstraction. The moment when this happens varies depending on …
Signs Remixed
2024 stock. In this album, legendary New York electronic music producer Hprizm (Antipop Consortium), also known as High Priest, reworks Gerald Cleaver’s acclaimed ’Signs’ (577 Records, 2020). Throughout, Hprizm expands the sonic boundaries of the original work through dream-like, transcendent electronic manipulations. Hprizm’s album is an innovative rework of Gerald Cleaver’s debut electronic project, building off of Cleaver’s long career as an accomplished Jazz percussionist.Born and raised in …
The Moon and the Melodies
Almost forty years after it was initially released, 'The Moon and the Melodies' by Cocteau Twins and Harold Budd is reissued on vinyl for the first time – remastered, from the original tapes, by Robin Guthrie himself.
Where The Sidewalks Are Safe For The Little Guy
NM is very, very satisfied to announce 'Where The Sidewalks Are Safe For The Little Guy', a new release from tape recordist, conversationalist and punk music vocalist Mark Groves (Index Clean, Red Wine and Sugar, Voice Imitator) as Absurd Cosmos Late Nite.
Folded Volume 33
NM presents a new work from Naarm/Melbourne producer Rita Revell, 'Folded Volume 33'. Her flawless, uncategorisable self-release ‘Depozit’ (2022) and subsequent live shows led us to virtually demand more material from this largely mysterious, protean sound assembler.
Stoned in Stockholm
ICR distribution present a new Nurse With Wound LP, a live recording from Stockholm 2016. This live set was recorded in Sweden in 2016 and features Stapleton, Liles, Waldron & Potter.

One Day
*2024 stock* In the summer of 2007, Jones visited Foster in South Korea and did a series of shows there and in Japan, both as their duo English and in other combinations. In Tokyo, they made time in their schedule to spend a day recording with Nakamura, and “One Day” documents the results, as captured by recording engineer Taku Unami at Kid Ailack Hall. Three lengthy improvisations showcase a unique collective aesthetic, dense and organic, pointillistic but rough, focused but not overly polished…

1982
I stayed in Iwate, where I was born, for a few days and created some sound materials using limited materials and old media. Over ten years ago, Iwate was devastated by the Great East Japan earthquake. Many old things that remained in my memory became rubble, dismantled, and new scenery was there. I bounced every song from “1982” straight onto an old tape recorder.
This album that comes out of my interest in sonic "degradation and rebuilding". I treated the guitar and synthesiser in a lot of new …
Two Cycles
Billy Bultheel's debut solo album is an ambitious distillation of the composer's,' sprawling litany of influences and his unique approach to site-specific composition. A compilation of pieces created between 2016 and 2023, the album is a forceful testament to Bultheel's expansive performance practice and collaborations with cutting-edge visual artists like Anne Imhof and James Richards. Drawing inspiration from industrial music and metal as well as medieval and baroque polyphony, Bultheel devise…
Black
'Black' is a musical eulogy to Amy Winehouse, a heartfelt memorial to a sorrowful demise. Its an album of predominantly beatless ambience possessed by the ghost of 'Back to Black'. Fragmented moods and hypnotic drones melt together as its circular beauty is set adrift, floating away into an endless void, where the original only remains in spirit alone. It doesn’t make particular sense why I was drawn to this idea and compelled to immerse myself in the original song, and her life in general, but …
