Malagrazia_______Landfall
*2025 stock. 190 copies limited edition* Soundtrack to the theatrical performance Malagrazia by Phoebe Zeitgeist, directed by Giuseppe Isgrò with dramaturgy by Michelangelo Zeno. Stefano De Ponti crafted what reviewers called a "devastating and unsettling" sound architecture using cello, synthesizers, guitar, organ, electronics, springs and field recordings.
The play explores two brothers confined in a post-apocalyptic space - part bunker, part island - where they reinvent their unknown family h…
DeepeR
*2025 stock. 190 copies limited edition* Veteran electroacoustic composer Gianluca Becuzzi plunges into abyssal territories with DeepeR, a work that lives up to its title by descending into increasingly profound sonic depths. Active since the 1980s, Becuzzi brings his decades of experience in sound art and vocal experimentation to create an immersive journey beneath the surface of conventional listening.
Each track represents a further descent, where pressure increases and light diminishes, repl…
Let The Universe Fall
*2025 stock. 60 copies limited edition* Two distinct voices of Italian experimental music converge as Lyke Wake meets Noise Cluster in Let The Universe Fall, a cosmic requiem for a declining world. Stefano Di Serio's Lyke Wake, active since 1981 and known for expressing isolation and discomfort through symphonic noise, joins forces with Flavio Derbekannte and Arianna Degni Lombardo's Noise Cluster project.
Using an arsenal including Studiologic Sledge, Korg Micro X, E-MU boards, digital synths, …
Nastri Dimenticati
*93 copies limited edition* Giancarlo Drago's The Tapes project unearths Nastri Dimenticati ("Forgotten Tapes"), a collection that bridges the project's original 1982-1992 incarnation with its 2016 revival. These rediscovered recordings showcase the raw experimentalism that defined Drago's teenage years, when toy instruments and primitive recording techniques created accidental masterpieces.
The cassette format returns these sounds to their original medium, emphasizing the materiality of magneti…
ODRZ80
*2025 stock. 200 copies limited edition* Massimo Mascheroni's ODRZ project reaches a numerical milestone with ODRZ80, though whether the title references age, BPM, or esoteric significance remains characteristically ambiguous. What's clear is that this release represents a mature statement from one of Italy's most consistent experimental voices, building on decades of exploration in industrial and electronic territories.
The album showcases Mascheroni's evolved approach to sound design, where ha…
Involucri Policromatici
*2025 stock. 300 copies limited edition* Three generations of Italian industrial music converge in Involucri Policromatici, where legendary pioneer Maurizio Bianchi (MB) joins forces with Mulo Muto and Icydawn. The title, translating to "Polychromatic Envelopes," suggests the layered, prismatic approach to sound construction employed throughout this collaborative work.
Bianchi's historical weight as one of industrial music's founding fathers adds gravitas to the younger artists' contributions, w…
Cosmetics For Mannequins
*2025 stock. 300 copies limited edition* Daniele Ciullini dissects contemporary society's plastic facades with Cosmetics For Mannequins, eight tracks of manipulated field recordings, toy instruments, and automatic voices that expose the mechanization of human interaction. Recorded at home in 2020 and reworked in 2023, the album reads like a dystopian manual for modern existence.
Titles like "Work Addicted (No Personal Life)" and "Mass Loneliness" reveal Ciullini's sardonic perspective on digital…
Dum Spiro
*2025 stock. 300 copies limited edition* "While I breathe" - the Latin title encapsulates Tam Quam Tabula Rasa's existential approach to sound creation in this eleven-track journey through sonic isolation tanks. The project, active since 1987 and born in Rapallo from the minds of Luca Ferrarini, Marco Berisso, Paolo Gentiluomo, and Roberto Soprani, continues to explore the boundaries between consciousness and void with artwork by Massimiliano Bellini.
The compositions unfold like sensory depriva…
DIsassembled ELements
*2025 stock. 300 copies limited edition* Elena and Massimo's meeting took remotely place in hidden areas around Luce Sia label. Elena also deals with graphics for music, and both Elena and Massimo have seen their musical projects released by the Swiss label.

Concinnitas
*2025 stock. 200 copies limited edition* Concinnitas marks another chapter in Tam Quam Tabula Rasa's exploration of minimalist drone and dark ambient territories. The project, whose Latin name translates to "as blank as a slate," continues its philosophical investigation into sonic emptiness and fullness, creating compositions that oscillate between meditative stillness and overwhelming density.
Building on the foundation established in their previous Luce Sia release Dum Spiro, this work demons…
Pàthei Màthos
*200 copies limited edition* Experimental sound architects Tam Quam Tabula Rasa and Illusion Of Safety join forces for Pàthei Màthos, a boundary-shattering collaborative album that transforms raw noise into profound revelation. Drawing from the ancient Greek maxim "learning through suffering," this release confronts the listener with immersive soundscapes of tension, release, and hard-won insight.
Tam Quam Tabula Rasa, known for their tabula rasa-inspired deconstructions of ambient and industria…
Entités
2010 release ** Limited numbered edition of 142 copies. Special cardboard sleeve. Entities is the spectral realization of a process of transformation, or even a mutation, of a sound material stemming from recordings of tracks originally created to be played in concert. These works for voice, bass and double bass, processed with computer, were organically modified to insure their concrescence, their future, and confront them with the game of difference. After all, these entities come from everywh…
Botul À La Campagne
2014 release ** "There’s an incredible amount being offered up on Botul à la campagne, which takes ideas and brings out so much that the average musician wouldn’t think to do. Côté and Kese both manage to brilliantly bring forth so many different ideas and techniques, and string them all together into one coherent album package that just works. Botul à la campagne sees jazz music turn into dark ambient music turn into classical music without any notion or effort whatsoever. There’s some wonderfu…
Hidden
The inimitable Richard Youngs returns to Black Truffle with this third full-length for the label, »Hidden«. Like »CXXI« and »Modern Sorrow«, »Hidden« unfolds across two side-long pieces at once eminently listenable and possessed of the ›bloody-minded‹ dedication to having an idea and sticking with it’ that Youngs himself has identified as one of the key qualities of his work.
At the core of both pieces are rapid, randomised arpeggios generated with a Moog Grandmother, hypnotic patterns that woul…
Engravings
Created by electronic producer and composer Matthew Barnes, and originally released via Tri Angle Records, 'Engravings' received instant acclaim from the likes of Resident Advisor, Pitchfork, The Guardian and saw Barnes take his hypnotic live show across festivals like Sonar, Glastonbury, Unsound and Le Guess Who.
While much of British electronica is defined by its inner cities, 'Engravings' was recorded in Barnes' hometown on the banks of an ancient river in Merseyside, the album's earthy, orga…
Ailleurs
2012 release ** The achievement of Ailleurs is that by mutating its intonation and freeing the bass from its limitations as a purely rhythmic instrument a new interface appears. The reverberating result is of an expansive formula that evocatively builds on expected bull fiddle timbres the way a realistic photograph could be the basis for a surrealistic art. It's the 19th publication - out of 24, one for each hour of a day - produced by &records (Michel F. Côté & Fabrizio Gilardino).
Ctenophora
2011 release ** This release occupies a very rarefied and odd aesthetic, evocatively pitting flurries of remote-sounding electronics against thin sinews of violin. The disc oscillates between a type of ironed-out fiddle music (all ornamentation and melodic contours pressed neatly into fibrous drones) and crackling electrostatic emissions, synthetic hacks and bleats ― a renovated version of sounds from the bygone era of analog abstraction and punch-card operated computing. Said oscillation happen…
Ave <W>
2010 release ** Taking the form of a sumptuous and exquisite musical nightmare, Ave <w> is Tiari Kese’s first album. Recorded and produced by Michel F Côté, these enigmatic electronic compositions feature as well an array of conventional instruments such as piano, organ, strings, percussion, trumpet and vocals. A sonic treat for insomniacs, Ave <w> can also be experienced along with illicit substances or divine drinks, or both. It's the 10th publication - out of 24, one for each hour of a day - …
À L'inattendu Les Dieux Livrent Passage
2010 release ** Nine pieces of some great orchestral music. Moving slowly, like gentle minimal music, which slowly, over the course of these pieces built up. It combines improvisation (although sparsely here), with minimal glissandi and small melodies, which rise up from those gentle waves of heavily and heavenly layered small orchestral sounds. Think Olivia Block, but perhaps with a bit more improvisation in some parts. Great chamber music, relaxed atmosphere, jolly fine music. It's the 9th pub…
Sainct Laurens
2009 release ** The nine pieces are relatively short and in a strange sort of way quite noisy. Strange because the bigger part the music is acoustically made, but with that bit of amplification that makes all the scraping sounds wandering off every now and then in the realms of feedback like sustained sounds, this is certainly not an easy work to access. Its however one, I think, that is quite beautiful. The sustaining sounds produced by what seem to be the main instruments (saxophone and viola …
