I
**Edition of 60** "Growing up means your mental models of the world are more likely to match observable results in the 'real world'. Or to say it differently: Growing up means, your plants are not dying anymore. I am not sure we have grown up quite yet, but maybe embarking on a 25 minute free form improvisation, with the tape rolling, relies just as much on what you know, as trusting the things you do not know yet. Just as much being in touch with the grown-up as the child in you and the partner…
Affective Room Tones
** Glass mastered CD. 6-panel digisleeve (coated 350gms cardboard). Matte finish. Text by Xavier Veilhan. Designed by Mote Studio ** “When Xavier Veilhan kindly invited me to consider which artists to involve in his amazing Studio Venezia project, one of the first names I had penciled in was Nicola Di Croce. Between the many sound artists that I know and admire, Nicola has the unique quality of always provoking an original dialogue between his theoretical reflections and his practice as a…
Dust Bunnies
** Glass mastered CD. 6-panel digisleeve (coated 350gms cardboard). Matte finish. Designed by Mote Studio. Photography by Fabio Perletta ** Dust Bunnies is Giovanni Di Domenico's first solo release for 901 Editions. Recorded in Oude Kerk Charlois with the majestic 1784's Hess pipe organ and in Klangendum / Worm studio in Rotterdam, the album beautifully merges acoustic and synthetic sounds. As pressurized air flows through the pipes, the music reminds us of desertic wind, evoking introspective p…
Work After Machinery
Alleged Witches debut album, Work After Machinery, breaks down centuries of human labour into an eight-part instruction manual for company best practice, stock control and tips for the optimum commute. The final break from nature, it's Pagan funeral marches, insect rhythms and doomed ambience for one last trip up the river. Artwork from Bill Connors.
Try Again
**Purple vinyl edition** Distorted classical choral recordings, synths, processed guitar… The exquisitely complex human-machine interface experiments conducted by Stefano Pilia are kept in a delicate balance by John Duncan‘s lyrics and the soulful quality of his vocals, for an album of electroacoustic songs that are a unique blend for both artists. Seeds and memories from the past are re-actualized in the present through a machine electroacoustic compositional process creating a dark, gloomy and…
Riddled with Absence
** Edition of 250 ** Dalibor Cruz's debut LP traces his families bloodline to the mountain town of Siguatepeque and the native people of Honduras, teaming these ancient rhythms inside the framework of the midwest's noise scene. The artwork is an original piece by Gabrielle K. Brown.
Mana
** 200 Copies ** St.an.da. presents Mana by Gianluca Becuzzi. "In anthropology, the concept of mana identifies a supernatural impersonal power. It manifests itself through men as power or superiority, bestowed upon them by spirits. Sound is the musician's magic gesture. Through the choice and development of a language, the artist shapes the step of his entry into that mysterious realm. In this work, the search for a maximalist and minimalist form at the same time allowed me to make experience of…
Crónica de un Secuestro
** 2021 Stock ** Elevator Bath is well pleased to present "Crónica de un secuestro," the proper debut album from multidisciplinary artist Susana López. These compositions were created in March 2020, during the lockdown, as the artist understandably experienced feelings of isolation, of being cloistered against her will. Perhaps this explains the album's attention to space. The notions of movement and exploration pervade the early pieces on this epic collection. The expansive drone and panning rh…
Tracey Feels Worse
** Limited edition compact disc packaged inside a full-color, 4-panel digipak with spot gloss printing ** Elevator Bath is honored to present the first ever release of sound work from famed music writer Massimo Ricci. Known as an individualistic reviewer - or, as he puts it, a "composer using words as main instrument" - in the meantime Ricci keeps researching, dissecting and altering sounds, something he has been doing since the late 60s. "Tracey Feels Worse" consists of a single 35-minute piece…
Seize / Marre
**2021 stock** Backwards present two exclusive tracks from great American artist Benoît Pioulard. Seize & Marre were composed based on lyrics and recordings that Benoît Pioulard originally created at the age of 16, in the years 2000-2001. Another 16 years on, he has revisited those early efforts through the eyes & ears of his adult self, having spent that time sculpting a creative identity across five albums for Kranky and numerous collaborations with the likes of Rafael Anton Irisarri and Kyle …
A Thousand Steps
* Edition of 100 copies * De Santis Shabara is the unexpectable encounter of two different experiences in life and music: Apulia-born percussionist, producer and instruments creator Daniele De Santis (GRÜN, Dromoscope) and Indonesian performer and vocalist Rully Shabara (Senyawa, ZOO). As an imaginary dialogue spoken in an ancient tongue from the two opposite corners of the world, the music of the duo combines different tactile timbres and vibrant harmonics of percussion instruments with the re…

The Swedish-born, UK-based minimalist electronic composer releases debut album in early 2019. “Eternal Words” is the debut solo album by Tomas Nordmark, an experimental Swedish composer, sound artist and designer living and working in London, United Kingdom. Nordmark was educated at the University of Linköping in Sweden where he studied Audio Culture and Contemporary Art. His compositions and works have been featured in short films, theatre plays and in exhibitions. Nordmark will release his deb…
Kaze ga Kanjō o Hakobu. Subete ga Kawarudarou
“Kaze ga kanjō o hakobu. Subete ga kawarudarou” is Tokyo-based musician Fuantei’s debut and first album for 901 Editions. The music describes ephemeral, everyday moments that evoke deep and suspended emotional states. A frivolous and trivial time fragment made memory, the embrace and realisation of change, the reverberating lights of a habitual sunset.
風が感情を運ぶ。すべてが変わるだろうKaze ga kanjō o hakobu. Subete ga kawarudarou.The wind carries emotions. Everything will change.
Un Fiocco di Neve
“Un Fiocco Di Neve” (Italian word for snowflake) is one of the possible crystallisations of an ongoing project called Nucleazione (Nucleation), started in 2017 and consisting of the accumulation of over 200 sound files and silences pulled together and randomly overlapped with no control. The five compositions of this album originate from a series of auto-generative methods, which I found brought me to new listening experiences in the process of composing. I trace my steps back to a decentered, l…
12 Connectedness
Second Sleep presents 12 Connectedness by Yosuke Tokunaga. The Distance is forcibly cut. The Time is repeated. The Speed is stretched. Some material "something" uses concepts to repeatedly connect and divide.
Essential Anatomies
**2021 Stock** After a break in recording of nearly fourteen years, the improvising duo of Colin Andrew Sheffield (samples, processing) and James Eck Rippie (turntables, samples, processing) returns with "Essential Anatomies," comprising two substantial new pieces of evocation.
Working exclusively with samples, Sheffield and Rippie sculpt primarily with commercial recordings to turn aspects of plunderphonics and electronic sound art into a form of abstract beauty. Their work together has always …
Angel Tears in Sunlight
Angel Tears in Sunlight is Pauline Anna Strom’s first album in over thirty years; an assemblage of music that refracts the expansiveness, and minutiae, of imagined realms while embracing the kaleidoscopic echoes of our distant epochs.
The capacity to collapse time might elucidate the enigma of Pauline Anna Strom. A mystic force in music, emerging during the dawn of new age as the Trans-Millenia Consort, the pioneering synthesist channelled primordial energies into future-facing sound through a s…
Wayfinding
Wayfinding is Christopher Bissonnette's sixth solo studio release and his first, of hopefully many, for 12k. The album embodies an evolution of Bissonnette's work, moving from an exclusively synth-based series of explorations to an amalgam of electronics and acoustic methods. Each track seeks to find grandeur on a diminutive scale. Bissonnette's focus has shifted from sweeping pastoral drones to introspective passages with delicate melody and elusive harmonies interlaced with studio and field re…
