2003 release ** "Microsounds, in which every single and minute tone has found it's place, which nevertheless sound warm and human. Or, even more true, electronic sounds with a gargantuan dynamic that help hyperspeeded cyberfreaks to come down and drift in an ocean of sound. What a beautiful thought. Austria melancholic, warm atmosphere and sometimes reminds me of works by Pole, Rhythm and Sound (and other Basic Channel related stuff), and the laptop compositions of Fennesz, Oval or Pimmon."
Tip! *2025 stock* Noise Toys are a series of ready-to-go synthesizers created by the long-running Brooklyn circuit-bending trio Loud Objects, who are known for building and programming their own audio hardware. The Noise Toys are portable versions of the music chips Loud Objects use in their live performances, and come in five different glitched-out sonic flavors. Each Noise Toy is programmed with its own 1-bit generative sound pattern, armed with an old-style toggle power switch, two buttons th…
Tip! *2025 stock* Tristan Perich's 1-Bit Symphony is a dazzlingly low-fi electronic composition in five movements on a single microchip. A complete electronic circuit utilizes on and off electrical pulses, synthesized by assembly code, to manifest data as sound. The Wall Street Journal wrote, “Its oscillations have an intense, hypnotic force and a surprising emotional depth.” The device treats electricity as a sonic medium, making an intimate connection between the materiality of hardware and th…
Tip! *2025 stock* Circuit board with headphone jack, packaged in a card tray, housed in a jewel case which includes a poster. The device plays back 32 minutes of low-fi 1-bit electronic music. The final track plays indefinitely until switched off, starting at the point given above. Album gives its length as ∞. Matte-black circuit board with surface mount parts. FCC Part 15 compliance text and CE certification screen printed on rear.
Tip! *2025 stock* Tristan Perich's circuit album, Composition for Three Small Speakers, comes as an electronic device that plays its three-channel music live. Following on his previous circuit albums (1-Bit Symphony, Noise Patterns, 1-Bit Music), Composition for Three Small Speakers is both a composition and a performance. When turned on, its music is synthesized in real-time by code programmed by the artist. Making a physical connection between code and hardware, the music was written to be pe…
Diagonal welcomes Scott Gordon to the fold. Scott has previously released on Editions Mego as one half of Oto Hiax, a collaborative project with Mark Clifford of Seefeel (Warp Records). He's also released a series of EPs and one album under his Loops Haunt alias via the Black Acre imprint. For his Diagonal debut, Scott offers up "Metals", a double EP of sorts: two sides of wax with two separate titles, "And Away" on side one backed with "Tilts" on side two. Each set is a study in using mechanica…
*30 copies limited edition* Kali's touch transforms and annihilates, dissolving the bounds of time and form. In this wake, what must vanish within is revealed—shadows of limiting views and chains to the past. Space is carved out for the unknown. Through this kaal nritya, the elemental truth of existence emerges, timeless and formless, beyond all veils.
On Friday, 10 January 2025, Fickle, the third album by Tacet Tacet Tacet, the solo project of the Italian artist currently based in Utrecht (Netherlands), Francesco Zedde, will be released.

*300 copies limited edition* Suffocating, the hidden child of Plastik Man, Farmer’s Manual and Warp. The glitches could just as well be the disgusting sound system of the club crackling under the humidity as a rhythmic pan too well timed to be honest. From durations to sound grain, the gloves are removed. The standards are far behind, the pleasure vibrates from the ears to the lower abdomen. The listener manages to get lost on a straight line, the perfect labyrinth according to Borges, but the e…
*37 copies limited edition* Formen's second album, "Dialektik," approaches the ambivalence of our contemporary society through the possibilities of sound design. The individual tracks, as well as the album as a whole, are filled with emotional contrasts, conflicting timbres, and inherent ambiguity. By bringing together opposing ideas, the album attempts to develop its own aesthetics, combining seemingly contradictory concepts such as noise/harmony, dysfunction/function, analog/digital, nature/te…
*50 hand-numbered copies* The voice from the box said, "What if the ultimate border situation between garbage and art is actually laughter? (...) The literal yoga of excrement (排泄物的瑜伽), a coprolitic essay on how we, as listeners, encounter 'objects of fear,' process them, and transform them into sound. It's 石头 in our ears."I said, "But 'for our purposes,' it seems to me that 'just a lonely voice' is needed."Onufr Gaptev said, "For those who take a vow of silence, any word is shit compared to the…
Twin Color - Vol 1 marks the grand return of Murcof to producing a full-length album in all its glory and generosity, nearly two decades after the release of Cosmos in 2007. Celebrated for his classical, minimalist textures and unique soundscapes, Murcof has established himself as a master of modern ambient music alongside Tim Hecker, Alva Noto, and Johann Johannsson. With this new album, Murcof takes a bold step forward, embracing a distinctly cinematic and dystopian narrative influenced by the…

In 2007 an Italian film festival invites Mouse on Mars to score a film of their choice. The organizers claim to be able to clear the rights for any movie the band chooses. Werner Herzog’s fictional documentary Fata Morgana, which merges footage of several desert explorations by Herzog and his team into one continuous association, has long been a band’s favorite. The film comes with a soundtrack by Mozart, Leonard Cohen, Third Ear Band and field recordings. Andi Toma and Jan St. Werner are sent a…
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,…
*30 copies limited edition* Two pieces for modular synthesizer and a deviated nasal septum. Recorded and mastered by Velleity. Black 2-sided HQ lathe cuts in full-color printed sleeves with inner sleeves.

Included in the DVD-format edition is a booklet with texts by Fennesz himself, Denis Blackham & Jon Wozencroft, with unseen photographs from the original 2004 sessions. The booklet also reproduces David Sylvian's original handwritten lyrics for 'Transit'. This "stunning…
On his third album as Etelin, Alex Cobb explores the intricacies of separation and belonging using field recordings and electronics, reconfiguring the dividing line between what is artificial and natural in the process. Maintaining a sense of playful reverence and lurking melancholy in its glitchy pastoralism, Patio User Manual hums with a meticulous and singular energy. From the loops and static pulses of "The Chemistry of Cobalt" to the tension and release of "Electrical Sailing," the listener…
Unequal cycles searching for synchronous experiences: On his new album »Pounding«, Frank Bretschneider tells of distance, convergence and congruence in a continuous, ever-changing flow of events. What is often considered to be an unquestionable dogma in club music (for which Bretschneider has provided significant impetus since the 1990s) – the groove – appears precarious, unstable, and in motion. Pulse and accent are volatile encounters and have to be found again and again for short, delightful …
