Ribbon
Tim Olive returns for his third album on Notice, a rare solo outing from this avid collaborator. “Ribbon” is a document of his highly developed relationship with amplified object manipulation, in a manner most cathartic and engaged, and yet informed by compositional sensibility. This release is constructed from multiple tracks of a variety of sound sources recorded in his studio in Kobe, Japan; these tracks have then been edited and layered, in shifting densities and evolving textures. Despite t…
Playbacks For Dreaming
Russian synthesist Vladislav Dobrovolski conducts ruminative k-hole analog and electronic swamps on this evocative tome, blending surrealist cinematic cues with fairytale gusts of expertly-tweaked synth music.
Majestic Noise Made in Beautiful Rotten Iran
It's an all electronic affair, harmonically maximalist, predominantly symphonic synthetic, requiring active listening. Some pieces function as challengers of musical structural habits, provoking the short attention span culture, others present
a problem-solution scenario, collectively via
a neoteric noise aesthetic and detailed melodic weaving. Ultimately, the objective was to engineer an assortment of works full of sound, euphonic and vivid in nature.
Nostalgia Por Mesozóica
Tip! **300 copies** Nikolaienko's “Nostalgia Por Mesozóica” is an exploration of "experimental exotica" consisted of synthesized tropical attributes — an artificial landscape isolated behind the glass frame. Reminiscent of recording techniques and sonorities ubiquitous in the 60’s and 70’s, it could conceivably have been intended as a soundtrack for the Mesozoic Era exhibition at your favorite Natural History museum.

Ptomaine 1
Asmus Tietchens is a sound artist and composer from Hamburg, Germany. He got interested in Musique Concrete by listening to a German radio programme when he was 10 years old.

All Those Born Must Die
**Edition of 125** The investigative sound artist Jeff Surak is quick to point out that this title should not be interpreted in a negative sense. merely a neutral observation. in fact, themes of detached inquest about disintegration have been quite welcome here at the helen scarsdale agency. surak has been a fixture within the experimental community for many years, curating the sonic circuits festival, programming for rhizomedc, and running his own zeromoon label. his own work manifests non-lin…

In a truly monumental rising, Art Into Life delivers “«…»”, the first new album to appear by the legendary French composer and performer, Anne Gillis, in 28 years. Released in limited editions of 300 copies on LP and 200 copies on CD, sculpting entirely singular and visionary tapestries of sonority at the borders of noise, industrial, and music concrète, it encounters an artist of towering importance at the height of her powers, and is unquestionably one of the most exciting new releases of the …
Les Troubles
*100 copies * Pentiments makes its first foray into the 7 inch format with a new and vivid work by the indefatigable French sound artist Guido Hübner, AKA Das Synthetische Mischgewebe. Borrowing its title from the identically named epistemological text “Le Trouble” by French polymath Francois Dagognet, the two-part work puts forth an intricate and compacted compendium of the electromechanical vocabulary that DSM has made his calling card. Contained within are deft-handed tradings back and forth …
Phonotopies (Paris)
Tip! that bring together two established composers for the first time. On one side (who knows if it is side A or side B?) we find Silvain Vanot, who was at the forefront of 90s French indie rock alongside the likes of Dominique A and Jean-Louis Murat. He has also collaborated with Jim O’Rourke. The other (side B or perhaps side A?) goes to Pierre-Yves Macé, a stalwart of the label. A composer of instrumental (his work is regularly performed by the Ensemble Intercontemporain) and electroacoustic …
It Feels Great But The Planet Is Dying
In Micah Pick and Benjamin Mauch words...The title for this album is an actual snippet of conversation that occurred on the first day of 2020. In the midst of recording music together in Richmond, VA, we took some time to get some fresh air, and were enjoying the unseasonable warmth of the day, but also were reminded that although it felt pleasant in the moment, the warming of the planet is a far from pleasant experience. As enthusiasts of outdoor recreation we have enjoyed warm days in the mids…
A Waste Of Red Meat
**200 copies** A Waste of Red Meat responds to the question “what does it mean to be human in the face of technology?” with a brief answer: exactly what it always has meant. To be slightly more specific, what we know as a human exists as an entangled body of tangible and intangible objects, institutions, forces, and histories. And the internet didn’t change that. We have always been these entanglements. The only difference now is that modern technologies have joined in. To explore this idea, Pe…
Ostensione
**200 copies** Ostensione is the act of showing or demonstrating something that usually can't be shown. Something that is not visible or tangible.

Percussive, clanging metallic textures weave in and out between orchestral passages reminiscent of early prog and German electronic music. Many times…
Taciturn, Moribund
Taciturn: inclined to silence; saying little. Moribund: in terminal decline; lacking vitality or vigor. Cobbled from tapes in various states of erasure, the four tracks of “Taciturn, Moribund” tell a sort of blurry and obscured ghost story. Like a faded photograph, only far less romantic. Largely unrecognizable sound sources, like memories, wither and crumble. Their impressions remain lurking under a hazy veil of tape hiss. What eventually emerges is a tapestry of anxious expanses, interwoven w…
