Flow
2006 release ** "In the artist's own words, Flow is an exercice of confrontation, a placing in context between voice and computer, all the idiosyncrasies of bare-naked human expression, altered, expanded and processed beyond its own flesh and blood. It also stages the possibilities and the impossibilities of relationships, or at least tries to pose some questions about the construction of our identity as a permanent conversation with others, through emotions that flow from rational collaboration…
Country Music
*150 copies limited edition* Written during a period of geographic and artistic transition, Country Music traces Severin Black’s movement from London to Berlin, unfolding through cycles of isolation and adaptation. Composed on the city’s periphery, the album’s material was continually dismantled and reassembled, reflecting a process of both artistic and personal reconstruction. The album marks a shift in production methodology, moving away from the immediacy of summed live takes toward a more de…
Oh! You Are So Naive!
2006 release ** "Oh! You are so naive! is the fourth album released by Mirt outside of the parent Brasil & the Gallowbrothers Band, and previously One Inch of Shadow. The album is a continuation of the path begun on the last mini-album – “Most”. This time, however, the whole is not based on a specific place, but on the fascination with twentieth-century revolutions and socialist utopia. Six songs about a revolt that never took place, about the hopeless immobility of today's rebels camouflaged so…
A Brief Audio History Of Agriculture
2005 release ** "This project began with an unlikely source: a t-shirt, which read 'if you eat, you have an interest in agriculture.' From conversations about the ways in which agriculture and farming practices have shaped our lives in North America derived primal ideas on a language to represent agriculture. Early in the spring of 2004, as the snow was just melting, I made some recordings of myself "playing" a derelict rusty piece of farm machinery abandon in a field. I was quite taken with the…
Decline
2010 release ** "The collaboration between the two industrial/dark ambient polish projects is a mesmerizing production of sorrow. The album is inspired by two poems: 'Madman' and 'Modern Icarus', aiming to tale the descending into the pits of madness of a man. However the result is not so strongly conceptual and linear and, honestly, sounds more like the descending into despair and the self-consciousness of it; but the technical level of the production is amazing and the album sounds good. The a…
When Worlds Collide (2LP)
This is a limited double-LP collection of artists who've been on either Fourth Dimension Records or Lumberton Trading Company, or are even indirectly associated. The title, based on the name of a childhood '50s sci-fi film favourite, not only reflects the bringing together of these two labels but also the fact that most of the artists they are concerned with tend to navigate a wide range of ideas and approaches. The 2LP also began as a reflection of the two labels coming together on 18 May 2024 …
Compiled
2008 release ** "Trance is the one-man project by american musician Mason Jones, known also as the founder of Charnel House label. During the 10 years of existence, he released 4 albums and numerous compilation tracks, which are often even more original and precious than album tracks. That's why we decided to gather them altogether for this release, which collects the most interesting material from the archives of the underground network. Mason Jones began Trance in 1987, and initially released …
Army Of Robots
2003 release ** "Early project from Jason Crumer (NIDWST, American Band, etc.) which reads somewhat like a gutter-soaked lo-fi version of the Amazing Grace album, coupled with some early noise excursions."
Chronik 1
2009 release ** "After issuing three releases, numerous film scores, and projects in the new media and audio-visual fields, Zurich, Switzerland-based Trepok rec. engages in a “European dialogue” with Chronik1, a stylistically diverse compilation of electronic music. Contributions come from Sweden (Utom Alla), Norway (Eiko), Denmark (Fibra), Austria (Ritornell), Italy (Giovanni Dal Monte), Marseilles (Philippe Petit), Portugal (Vitor Joaquim), and, of course, Zurich (Bit-Turner, Trepok rec. found…
Il Y A Les Ombres
Laurent Pernice delivers an album of light and shades. “Il y a les ombres” is a sonorous trip to the limits of perception, a place where voices murmur fragmented truths and where instruments, not used in a traditional way, dig the layers of unexplored territories. This new work (of the old member of Nox and current member of Palo Alto) summons the voices of Alan Dalmasio (Palo Alto) Judith Juillerat, Black Sifichi, Heloise Brezillon and Laura Garrato (Magma). This is not only a play of vocal con…
Ouroboros
On Katelyn Clark and Mitch Renaud's Ouroboros astronomical and astrological phenomena, concepts and symbols such as the Great Year or the Eternal Return serve as the starting points for sonic explorations and experimentations. Focusing on a uniquely tempered range of frequencies, from low-enddrone rumbles to airy pipe swirls, the duo develops a minimalist and highly evocative sonic universe on their debut album for Hallow Ground.
Working as composers, improvisers and curators in Canada's vibrant…
Future Research Journal Entries (Part 1)
UK-based Inhmost (aka Simon Huxtable) makes his Past Inside the Present début with Future Research Journal Entries (Part I), a document of cosmic proportions that offers a journey through weightlessness or, according to the artist, “a time capsule from a forgotten generation of space travelers”. Many of Huxtable’s works, including the collaboration with ASC, The Moons of Saturn (2021), have touched on similar otherworldly themes, but Future Research offers a particular richness of vision that br…
Ghost
Ghost is the ninth studio album by New York-based Black Swan, who employs an arsenal of analog recording devices and methods to blur the line between reality and memory. Inspired by musique concrète, ambient, and dark drone traditions, the twenty pieces in this continuous suite capture the experiences of a spirit navigating the physical world it left behind.
The dimensions of each movement come from careful consideration of the overall narrative: some are brief vignettes, while others are given …

Shortwave Encounters
* 400 copies, White Vinyl * Shortwave Encounters is Walter Maioli’s research on extraterrestrial sounds and radio communications started in Amsterdam during the orbital passage of the Comet Halley in 1986. This record is an imaginary interaction between a sender and a receiver, an attempt to create a logged communication between earth and space, combining radio eavesdropping and field-recordings as well as acoustic and electronic instruments, spanning from shells to bat calls, and from the ney f…
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. Although the two musicians come from quite different musical backgrounds, their collaboration for this release creates a dialogue of unique interest, in wich silence and intensity, sound in unison and in ba…
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…
