At Source
Caterina Barbieri & Bendik Giske's At Source resounds music as wellspring, that which is essential and unknowable, and yet utterly primary. It finds two acclaimed composer-musicians building a world together in self-contained collaboration between analogue synthesis and an extended approach to the saxophone that conjures its own universe of sound. It is at once intimate and cosmic, drawing on the challenges and possibilities of their artistic exchange, tearing down technique to access all the ex…
LIve at Oblicuo #2
Live at Obliquo, recorded in october 2025. This performance by nara is neus has been taking listeners to their different but indeed so close intimate worlds. The tracks in this album are not so straight anti climax textures evolving into some kind of emotional noise that stays well beyond your spleen and ideal.
Any Colour You Like (LP)
Rare original 1985 debut LP on Supporti Fonografici by one of the best Italian minimal/synth wave bands.
Oda
Vic Bang's "Oda" arrives quietly - it was waiting for the right moment. The eight tracks are shaped by listening, by circling around sound instead of chasing it... you can definitely hear patience in the pacing, a willingness to let ideas linger, to let all the small motifs breathe.
The album moves with a softer and more deliberate rhythm than much of Vic's earlier work, as the sound world here feels concentrated and cohesive, built from a limited set of elements that gradually reveal themselves…
Sunset and Forever
Sunset and Forever finds Cindytalk once again stepping into the faultline between collapse and renewal, extending a project that has always treated the band itself as sculptural material to be broken apart and reformed. From the earliest days of Camouflage Heart and In This World, Cinder’s vision fused post‑punk dissonance, industrial dirge, and abject rock deconstruction with a strangely luminous vocal presence – the same voice that threaded through early This Mortal Coil and Cocteau Twins reco…
Convex
Convex is one of a series of LPs that Schnitzler released himself in the 1980s. It is one of his LPs that convey virtually no visible information. Only the title is printed in large letters on the cover of Convex, and in tiny letters that are easy to overlook, it says: "Cover Conrad und Richard." The labels on the original LP indicate that one side is called "Convex" and the other "Concav." That's all the information there is."On Convex, as on many of his other albums, Schnitzler definitely used…
Control
"Control was created during a phase of Schnitzler's work in which his friendship with Peter Baumann (formerly of Tangerine Dream) allowed him to try out and use new electronic sound generators and peripheral technologies. He never used these innovations merely for their own sake, but always put them at the service of his artistic flair for experimentation. His signature style is clearly recognizable on Control.
The album seems to be a kind of compilation of different musical approaches. Tracks 5…

Succumb freely to these splendid close-knit wafers of electro-acoustic intensity. It's the 15th publication - out of 24, one for each hour of a day - produced by &records (Michel F. Côté & Fabrizio Gilardino).
Palétuvier (Rouge)
2010 release ** Musically, the trio succeed in conveying a true “Heart Of Darkness” soundscape with their playing, painting a dark green hell where we can feel the moss and fungus dripping down our backs, and Werner Herzog is never more than five feet away in his questing canoe. The music also suggests the grandeur, the solitary and unknowable nature of these grand old men of the forest who probably keep the secrets of the ancients locked up in their thick bark. Truly atmospheric! It's the 14th …
Torn Tongue
2002 release ** Edition of 160 in a 6.75" round three panel cardboard cover. Recorded 1997-1998 in Cambridge, MA and Nijmegen, NL. All sounds taken from the spoken voice of KS, recorded in Gainesville, Florida, in different acoustic environments.
Keyboard Suite II
Suite II in the series expands upon their established pallet, integrating more field recordings and studio processing to their dulcet keyboard melodies. As a storm approaches from the distance - keyboards saturated by tape into distortion, bursts of noise from idiosyncratic electronics, aleatoric stuttering - MARV grants us an album’s worth of sonic sublimation.

Nite Closures EP
Mark Fell inaugurates his new label - The National Centre for Mark Fell Studies - with his first solo electronic material in years; a slinky, ravishing volley of unique dance drills that have been in the works for over a decade, feeling somehow like Derek Bailey dissecting Singeli, or Autechre and Hermeto Pascoal dancing in hyperspace. There’s nothing else quite like it.
Back on the ‘floor for the first time since dealing a pair of deep house 12”s with DJ Sprinkles, sending a contemporary classi…
