Intuitive Fields
Zach writes his dreams, his grand inner music emanating directly from his soul and offering it to the world, guided by his intuition. Nine abstract, ambient, and celestial tracks, evolving with his sensitivity, conducted like an intimate orchestra, revealing his landscapes and skies. Sweetzak takes us on a journey within himself and questions our emotions in this first album with complex textures, like a glimpse into what moves him.
Ever Expanding
*200 copies limited edition* "Ever Expanding" unfolds like a fissure in the continuity of the real. Each sonic fragment carries the memory of an archaic gesture, while also heralding a form yet to come. Nothing asserts itself, yet everything emerges with the gentle force of an apparition—unstable configurations that breathe in the space between the familiar and the elusive. The pieces overlap without collision: each remains distinct, yet surfaces within a shared field. What arises is a multiplic…
I Know Your Voice, but It’s Hard to Find in the Crowd
*200 copies limited edition* "I Know Your Voice, but It’s Hard to Find in the Crowd" is a concept album centered on the use of the voice. What shape does the voice take when conveying an emotion? The compositions in this work are made up almost exclusively of voices—an extensive spectrum of voices that sing, speak, whisper, processed through Auto-Tune, or emerge from WhatsApp messages, VSTs, analog and digital keyboards from the ’80s and ’90s, field recordings, and samples from films, TV, and Yo…
Fade, Remain
*200 copies limited edition* In its apparent bare simplicity, “Fade, Remain” is Iluiteq's most uncompromising and intimate album to date. Delving into the universal human condition of experiencing a loss and coping with a new phase of life, Iluiteq have released a new collaborative album, co-written with renowned Italian producer and musician Eraldo Bernocchi. The album juxtaposes the condition of “fading”, meant as leaving or departing, with the notion of “remaining”, either physically or spiri…
Alphane Moods
Australia-based musician Mark Gomes presents the debut full length under his own name for Soda Gong. “Alphane Moods” finds Gomes employing strategies that will be familiar to listeners of his work as Blue Chemise– elegiac, loop-based modes of composition and a predilection for concise etude forms– that manifest here with a strikingly different scope and intent, shifting from expressive abstraction into more conceptual terrain. Over the course of fourteen widescreen tracks, he navigates the gap b…
Coalyqsta
*75 copies limited edition. 2025 stock.* Have you ever wondered about liquid crystals’ consciousness? We bet you haven’t. Then, are you familiar with the concept of panpsychism, the view that all things have a mind or a mind-like quality? Well, you should be pretty curious about it now, and Bamboo Shows may have some of the answers!
Introducing Metra.Vestlud on the label via his ‘Coalyqsta’ LP, Bamboo Shows is happy to provide you with a vivid sensory experience of other forms of sensibility whi…
Ljóstillífun
Ljóstillífun is the latest album by musician/sound artist Pan Thorarensen. The album is inspired by Iceland's flóra, its plant kingdom, and the country's mysterious natural landscapes. The title, Ljóstillífun, translates to Photosynthesis in English. Pan extensively incorporated field recordings of nature using specialized microphones during the album's production. He combined these with various handcrafted electronic instruments, synthesizers, and sound design techniques to create a truly uniqu…

Taba
Taba, the new album from Japanese musician, songwriter and traveller Satomimagae, unfolds as a series of vignettes that document both the personal and the universal, seen and unseen. Observing and absorbing the fleeting scenes and sounds of life flowing outside of her home studio, Satomi sings beyond herself, in an orbit of souls and systems both in the present and in the strange flux of memory, leaving linear songwriting to rest for circuitous stories expanded and expansive in tone and texture.

Unearthed

The Blind Sublime
Andrew Ostler’s fifth album for the Expert Sleepers label continues his trajectory away from a sound largely based on synthesizers towards orchestral textures and heavily processed saxophone. Building on the string arrangements of his previous LP “Dots on a Disk of Snow”, and taking a heavy dose of sax drone from the earlier “Four Drones for Saxophone and Modular Synthesizer”, this record also adds a full choir, taking the music to another level of spiritual intensity.
The first side of the LP p…
Quiet Pieces
'Quiet Pieces' initiates Abul Mogard’s personal imprint Soft Echoes with a definitive self-portrait of calm, contemplative, and discreet inner landscapes made audible. It is the first solo album on vinyl in four years.
Cestrum Nocturnum
*300 copies limited edition* Panos Alexiadis is a sound artist based in Athens, Greece, active in the field of contemporary electro-acoustic music. He founded and co-curated the tape label Thalamos, a home for exploratory sounds, where some of his own works also found their place. Marking a return after a period of (sonic) reflection, Cestrum Nocturnum is an album of remembrance and renewal. Through a lattice of self-sampled piano, fragmented voices, field recordings, and transient digital trace…
Generations
"Generations" by Amsterdam based artist Origin ST is an introspective exploration of the various emotions which he went through during the pregnancy and birth of his first child - fear of change, anxiety, surprise, excitement, longing often all happening at the same time." - Origin ST
Live at Black Circle
Around this time last year, Marc Ertel joined the stage with the PITP brethren James Bernard, zakè, and From Overseas for a live performance at the Gothic Chapel in Indianapolis, US which was eventually released as a limited vinyl LP. Since then, Ertel has been quietly working on new solo arrangements along with new compositions that will be part of an imminent Dawn Chorus and the Infallible Sea record.
Just a few months after the Gothic Chapel performance, Ertel was invited to play a live set a…
Uoiea
Uoiea is a collection of meditative and textured minimalist ambient drone pieces created using only a Squier Bass VI and guitar pedals. Where in most of my compositions I tend to add layers and fill as many frequencies as possible, I opted instead to embrace the space between notes, the subtleness of the Bass VI's highest tones, and the general feeling of drifting slowly. The track names are nonsense pseudowords - descriptors of feelings and experiences that do not exist. This is an album for fl…
Hypnotism
"hypnotism I" has held a special place on my hard drive since shortly after the release of mountain ambient IV. Like the piece itself, it evolved slowly and delicately. Each layer pulled me deeper into this hypnotic state of composition, listening, and re-composition that lasted for several months. Sometimes it would sit for weeks, patiently, before I added another small piece. The end result was so powerful, especially after such a long time, that I started putting everything new next to it in …
My Heart, My Beloved
Zakè Drone Recordings is very proud to present My Heart, My Beloved, a special collection commemorating a landmark birthday in the life of label head Zach Frizzell’s wife and main inspiration, Julia. Three artists – awakened souls, Benoit Pioulard, and zakè himself – each offer a pair of recordings, cumulatively covering a vast emotional territory and sonic palette.
awakened souls (aka Cynthia and James Bernard, veterans of Frizzell’s Past Inside the Present label) based “Valleys and Peaks” on J…
Wounds of Melody
*200 copies limited edition* Furtherset, the musical project of Venice-based composer and visual artist Tommaso Pandolfi, debuts with his first album for Kohlhaas, the sixth in his career, 'Wounds of Melody'. A layered image of devastation and beauty, where Renaissance tears merge with the incandescence and violence of phosphorus, the artwork is the first encounter in the emotional itinerary that unfolds in the five tracks making up the LP. Over its forty-one minutes, the album's beatless but me…
