The Tinnitus Chorus
The Tinnitus Chorus, a new album from Michael Scott Dawson, is a collaborative ambient project reflecting on his personal experience with tinnitus. Joining forces with an eclectic cast from the worlds of experimental folk, jazz, and electronics, Dawson weaves tape loops, gentle melodies, and field recordings into a quietly unified journey through sound and vulnerability.
Tract: A Composition of Agitprop Music for Electromagnetic Tape
"A Composition of Agitprop Music for Electromagnetic Tape" by İlhan Mimaroğlu is a collage of political sound art blending revolutionary texts, manipulated electronics, and the vocal performance of Tülay German. Recorded from 1972–74, it transforms agitprop tradition into a radical meditation on freedom and dissent.
Halki Pilvien
*2025 stock. 300 copies limited edition* "Halki pilvien - transl. Through the clouds - brings exactly what one expects from the clouds. It is a collection of soft and gentle movements, as playful as a ‘Jan Anderzén type of music’ is always. A collection of patterns that solidify for just a brief moment in time, before sublimating in the back of the mind. This album is in constant motion. Push play. A warped piano and cartoonish SFX’s might foretell a hyperreal approach to music. Yet while the ch…
Downriver
*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…
Letters Home
*100 copies limited edition* Letters Home is the first PITP full-length from Tennessee-based Slow Blink (aka Amanda Haswell), who aptly describes her compositions as “tape loop weather patterns”. Across the arc of its two half-hour-long pieces, individual melodic elements build into dizzying, cyclical symphonies of melting colors and shapes. Haswell cites bowed guitar, piano, bells, recorder, and toy synthesizers as her primary sound sources, but through her array of effects pedals and tape ma…

Skaeliptom
Sincere dysphoria is a disarming tonic, and 'Skaeliptom' is steeped in it, if not fortified by it. Quietly appearing on the Periferin label in 2013, Varg's debut recording presents with grave intent filtered through a pacifying melancholic haze. A remastered version now arrives on Northern Electronics.
Originally disclosed on cassette with a ziplocked excerpt of a cindered church, 'Skaeliptom' is a depressive tour of Varg's early experiments. As if bleached unconscious by northern winters, his t…
Chiffons d'azur
*140 copies limited edition* Fragile nostalgia, immersive drone, and magnetic tape. Recorded March/June 2024 between Montreal and Paris. Music by Pier-Luc Tremblay & Théo Martin.
Oxide Manifesto
"Oxide Manifesto is intended as an audio sketchbook, which explores a particular method of creating music. It aims to link obsolete machines and experimental composition. In recording it, I embraced as many techniques of working with magnetic tape as possible. I gave myself the freedom to lean into the perceived flaws of tape as a recording format. Often we hear ‘it’s not about the equipment’. But on this album the equipment is in equal focus to the music. Wow, flutter, wonky pitch, abrupt edits…
Arboreal Frippery
*60 copies limited edition* Ohio-based tape manipulator Meadow Argus (Tynan Krakoff) returns with over 60 minutes of memory mulching sound stew. The main aural sources stem from a momentous summer 2009 trainhopping/hitchhiking trip around America's West Coast with Tynan's brother Max, a seminal coming of age experience. During the trip, Tynan carried a microcassette pocket recorder and captured hours of raw audio. These memories are collaged & juxtaposed with found tapes & other family recording…
Tape Cuts II
*2024 stock. 50 copies limited edition* "The second tape started to develop when I was looking for a way to play Tape Cuts live. A track was composed and its shapes were repeatedly explored. The final form was ultimately recorded in a single take on 1/4 inch tape, mirroring a live performance and celebrating one moment in time.
After completing this recording I was faced with a mass of tape loops left hanging on the wall, the wreckage of the composing process. Layers and layers of sound buried a…
Long Song 11-12-22
The second Taming Power release on Input Error. A collage of recordings from 2006 and mixed down in 2022, presenting a single long form, ambient piece incorporating tape manipulations, feedback and drone.

Tránsitos Sónicos - Música electrónica y para cinta de compositores peruanos (1964-1984)
Tip! This compilation offers a first overview of the early works of electronic and tape music created by Peruvians between 1964 and 1984. This period marks a technical and aesthetic evolution that allows us to understand the development of electronic music in the Peruvian context, from an initially internationalist model to a more situaded one. The first phase occurs in the 1960s, when many composers migrated outside Peru in search of advanced training and access to knowledge and infrastructure …
