Electronic / Modular Synthesizers

Four compositions by the Stockholm artist built from modular synthesizers, microphones and self-regulating systems: feedback held at a fragile threshold between order and instability.

In Cyano, synthesist and composer Emily A. Sprague questions self, other, ecology, and life in a distant realm. Conjured around the idea of an imagined planet whose inhabitants are rebuilding forbidden capacities for expressivity and emotional connection, Cyano is a meditation on visibility, psychic transformation, light transmission, and worlds beyond our knowing materialized through an intuitive use of modular synthesizers and voice.

*2026 stock. 104 copies limited edition* La Division Technique is a French electronics project founded and directed by Philippe Saintlos, which sounds like old-school electronics, dark soundscapes, minimalist synths, industrial ambient, with analog synthesizers, filters, strings, vocals and spatial sound recordings. A meeting in 2017 with the Rotorelief label led to the release of the album "Unexpected Works, Random Systems" from tapes-K7 of the 80s period. A succession of two-year concerts foll…

In a digital timespace stalked by the shifting and pixelating apex predator of Desire Optimization, fling ii has decided that a humble american neokrautrock n-gon of various part time participants lacks the resourcing and relevant domain knowledge to meaningfully compete with the Leviathan of Hypertargeted Urge Satisfaction. The market for pursuing what people actually want is supersaturated, leaving a marketable capability gap for those creating things nobody wants or asked for. 3 is an album e…

Discrepant presents Fantarombo, a new album by Giovanni Lami. While his previous works often moved through memory, residue, degradation, and dialogue with existing materials, Fantarombo takes shape as an unstable, bodily gesture. Sound is not recalled or reconstructed, but triggered, pushed, and set in motion as an active force. Lami approaches modular synthesis as a physical, hands-on practice rather than a technical exercise or display of system mastery. The modular setup becomes a responsive …

*200 copies limited edition* Rather inspiringly, Billy Gomberg is experiencing a career peak in his second decade of composition and improvisation. Through a practice that is humble and rigorous in equal measure, he has issued work with Students of Decay and Dinzu Artefacts alongside numerous self-released editions that document his evolving approach to modular synthesis. Though Gomberg has recently shared many longform recordings, capacity, his first proper album in four years, finds him zeroin…

Named after a now-shuttered nightspot that overlooked the beach on Italy's picturesque Tuscan coast, Maxime Denuc's 'Club Imperiale' is a work of speculative historical fiction, a record that imagines a point of creative symbiosis between the Catholic church and the ecstatic dancefloors of the early '90s.

*50 copies limited edition* In December 2025, I performed alongside Asmus Tietchens and Jetzmann at the final Hörbar Ausklang Festival. This cassette was produced for that occasion. It contains preliminary studies for my live modular synthesiser performance. The tape wasn't sold on the night, and its release ended up being postponed until now. At one point I had almost forgotten that I had even produced it. Now it's finally here—but what does that change?  The title Miszellen Band is derived fro…

Ali O’May and Frazer Brown met in early 2018 at an Electronic Music Open Mic in Edinburgh and quickly discovered a shared musical sensibility. Ali later gave Frazer a USB of stems from his extensive modular system; over summer and autumn 2019 Frazer used about a dozen of those stems to shape tracks across techno, lo‑fi, breaks, acid house and ambient. This collaborative process—Ali supplying raw modular material and Frazer instinctively arranging and producing it—became the Dohnavúr method, driv…

Acclaimed collaborators Sam Prekop and John McEntire unveil "Sons Of" a striking new album that marries warm, melodic songwriting with inventive production and textural grooves. Recorded with attentive craft and an ear for spacious, intimate arrangements, "Sons Of" marks a compelling chapter in the duo’s ongoing musical partnership.

Brussels-based Maloca presents Paradise Mountain, the new EP from Katatonic Silentio, DJ and production moniker of Italian sound artist Mariachiara Troianiello. Positioned in counterpoint to her darker, more visceral work, the record delicately folds Detroit electro and techno drum structures into a softened New Age glow, generating environments that breathe, shimmer, and slowly coalesce. Across the EP, tracks unfold gently, rife with wet modular tones, chromatic arpeggiations, and light-touch p…

*100 copies limited edition* Corum’s Web of Midnight traces an astral cartography and psychic linkage between the psychosexual laboratories of Wilhelm Reich’s Orgonon in Rangely, Maine all the way to the Mount Teide Volcano on the Canary Islands. Different facets of the album were recorded in these charged locations causing the music to erupt with an orgasmic and volcanic force, a subconscious blast and discharge of etheric earth energy channeled through shimmering electronica. Babbling voices t…

"A Small Life and Unnoticed Movements" was born from a live performance at Germi in Milan, later transformed in the studio through Fender Rhodes and subtle ambient processing. The six pieces are sonic micro-landscapes built around minimal gestures — a leaf’s trace, a small current, a dim light, an almost invisible presence. The music doesn’t describe nature; it follows its processes. It changes slowly, transforms without noise, and remains in a state of attentive listening. The project is accomp…

B. Chamber (Stratum A), by B. Close, is the first full length solo release by Los Angeles-based multi-disciplinary artist Brian Close. The first of two volumes assembled from some thirteen hours of music produced by Close while residing in Connecticut from 2021-2025, B. Chamber (Stratum A) offers a vivid, fractal afterimage of a prolific, specific time and space in the artist’s oeuvre. After leaving New York City early in the pandemic to a farmhouse in the countryside with dedicated spaces for m…

Minor Planets completes a trilogy of cosmically themed electro-acoustic albums by UK and Berlin based trio Twinkle3, 15 years in the making. This third installment is once again all about the unique synergies the group discover in combining free group improvisation with studio and musique-concrete techniques. The group's combined love of everything from Lee Perry to Noh Theatre via Karlheinz Stockhausen and King Sunny Ade lead them to respond musically to create a single universe where they all …

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…

Warren Walker + Francesco Geminiani present Easy Mountain Listening, an eclectic duo of jazz and electronic musicians. Flamenco footwork? Dub crackology? Arty ambient? All these 2.0 delusions brim at the heart of such an intriguing high-flying dystopian machination. The Easy Mountain Listening album Live at Oblicuo records the performance at OblicuoHIFI in Barcelona on January 5, 2024. The atmosphere is densely populated by a crowd of gentle ghost sounds where uncertainty empowers tranquillity.…

With Hungry Vortex, Polypores pushes his kosmische synth language into a delirious hybrid of polyrhythmic trance, cosmic jazz-prog and gently lysergic minimalism, four side‑long excursions that feel at once meticulously engineered and wildly feral. A hypnotic, deeply emotional capstone to a ridiculously fertile phase.

The devil’s in the details. It always was and it always will be. It’s there for those who seek it out.

*200 copies limited edition* "Jaime Fennelly, as Mind Over Mirrors, makes music that pushes the known to the lip of the unknown, where it rocks precariously and in exhilaration. He scrambles the familiar and tweaks the comfortable, not through aggression, but a throbbing estrangement. When placed at a distance, these require longer reaches to grasp. The reward for this effort is an enlarged field of perspective, experience, and also of feeling. This is deeply feeling music to feel deeply.  In al…

LP version. 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 def…

LP version. "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 approach…

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…

* Triple LP, edition of 82 numbered copies. * Yamazaki Maso began home recording in 1987, adopting the name Masonna for his solo noise experiments and founding the independent label Coquette, through which he issued several cassette releases. His debut LP and CD appeared on Kyoto's Vanilla Records in 1989-90, soon followed by ultra-limited 7-inch acetates, a split LP with Violent Onsen Geisha, and numerous compilation appearances. Drawing on hard rock, death metal, hardcore punk, grindcore, and …

Curated by Taiwan-based modular artist Ryan J Raffa, this compilation offers a vivid introduction to Taiwan’s thriving modular music scene.

After 25 years, Ian Boddy and Chris Carter’s rare underground classic Caged returns, remastered and expanded.

*300 copies limited edition* ugne&maria is a collaboration between Marija Rasa Kudabaite and Ugnė Vyliaudaite, both residing in Belgium. Their musical style is characterised by a multilayered, down-tempo, yet danceable approach, incorporating violin, synthesisers and sampling techniques. The duo’s live performance at Meakusma Festival in August 2024 completely blew us away. It was one of those rare moments when time seemed to stand still: the music, the atmosphere and the audience merged into a …

A bold journey through electronic experimentation, Parajekt finds Parajekt (Bernhard Hammer & Matija Schellander) shaping intricate soundscapes from drum machines, samplers, and modular synths. The result is an album that merges beat-driven textures, dub processes, and live immediacy into a compelling modern statement.

Developed over three years across residencies, tours, and periods of deep listening, “Your Whistle Tells of Landscape” finds Australian sound artist Alexandra Spence continuing her investigations into the perceptual entanglements of sound, place, memory, and imagination. Like much of the artist’s work, it unfolds at the liminal edge between the real and the imagined — between what is heard and what is remembered. Composed from a constellation of materials gathered across sites and seasons — snow…

*50 copies limited edition* »Downriver« unfolds like a dérive through obscured geographies, echoing the psychogeographic journeys of Iain Sinclair. Just as Sinclair’s writing blurs the tangible and the imagined, Sequences, the project of Antwerp-based artist Niels Geybels, drifts into spaces where memory and environment overlap. Single-take recordings stretch into slowly mutating drones, fractured textures, and ghostlike voices that seem to seep in from unseen thresholds. The atmosphere is one o…

*2025 stock* 'Silvo' presents a series of musical compositions in which the artist intricately explores the evolution and transformation of harsh sounds into a musical narrative, employing dissonance, glitches and textural intricacies in a melodious manner. The creation of piercing sounds and densely inhabited spaces imbued with intensity proved a fruitful source of inspiration, evoking the sensation of capturing moments of implosion and suffocation. The distinction between cacophonous noise and…

The Danish label Arbitrary presents Framework / Zwischen Remixes – a remix by German artist Jan Jelinek and one by musician & label founder Mads Emil Nielsen originally made for a digital compilation, now published on 7" vinyl (arbitrary22). For the CRXSSINGS release, Jan Jelinek remixed Nielsen’s Framework 10, a track from the Framework Book/CD (arbitrary01) based on sequences/recordings of sine waves and noise. Side B: a rework by Mads Emil Nielsen of Jelinek’s voice collage and electronic sou…

Limited Anniversary Edition: hand numbered, White vinyl, 500 copies available! Released in 1975, this second full-length stands as perhaps the most uncompromising statement in the Heldon catalog - a work that refuses all concessions to accessibility while remaining utterly compelling from first pulse to final fade. Where the debut balanced Pinhas's most extreme impulses with moments of relative calm, Allez-Téia feels like an artist completely unleashing his vision without concern for consequence…

An endling is the final member of a species. When an endling dies, the species is extinct.

*300 copies limited edition *Since the late aughts, Helsinki-based multi-instrumentalist, linguist, and skateboarder Olli Aarni has released a steady stream of diverse and remarkably consistent recordings via labels such as Mappa, Longform Editions, Cotton Goods, Laaps and Superpang. “Koko Maailma” constitutes a major new work in his discography, finding a fertile middle ground between what might be understood as his two primary compositional modes: organic/chaotic/aleatoric music and rule-based…
