Persistence of Sound presents the second album by Rubbish Music (Kate Carr and Iain Chambers), the duo upcycling waste into immersive electroacoustic music. “As we go about our daily lives, malodorous monsters are const…
Rebelòt
Angelo Bignamini is a musician and sound artist from Italy. His musical research focuses its attention on the relationship between sound and its deterioration. For this purpose he uses analogue devices (especially tape recorders and feedback) as the main tools for manipulating digital sound. He recently returned to the acoustic guitar as an implement for inner investigation through improvisation on open tunings. His works are published by independent labels all around the world. Angelo Bignamini…

Vestigial Gamelan
Tip! *100 copies limited edition* This album is the third in a series of experiments exploring the magnification of the insignificant sounds. The chaotic but inherently repetitive patterns created by the interaction between the objects has been realised through a minimum of gestural action by way of a number of distancing strategies, such as the use of hand drills, film winders and motorised drills/screwdrivers. Astasie-abasie is a project of Ian Andrews which evolved out of a long running perfo…

The Academy In Peril
John Cale was never very kind to his solo debut, Vintage Violence. When it was released in early 1970, Cale had been out of The Velvet Underground for less than two years. He wanted to prove he could be the songwriter, the person penning the words and melodies behind which a band could work. “I was masked on Vintage Violence,” he wrote much later. “You’re not really seeing the personality.” Indeed, Cale’s personality as a polyglot seemingly interested in everything emerged more and more on his n…
Mist on the Window
The ultimate improbient that pursues the original human way of dealing with sound, imagining the very sounds that emerged from people's activities long ago. This is the first vinyl release of a 2007 masterpiece by Ken Ikeda, known for his collaborations with computer music pioneer Carl Stone, David Toop, a leading figure in the British experimental music scene, and Japanese jazz saxophonist Akira Sakata.

Layers 1975-2004
It is a sincere honor and a privilege for Full Spectrum Records to announce the release of ‘Layers: 1975-2004,’ a retrospective collection of recordings from Texas abstract music legends Onions. An unsung and mostly hidden collective who paved the way for so much of Texas’ sprawling free and experimental music lineages, Onions is the ‘nom de guerre’ of a network of musicians and artists centered around its primary exponent, Dan Clark AKA Lienad Kralc and his musical partner Greg Cain aka Gerg Ni…

Led by his childhood experience, Jorge Queijo prints memories of travels and paths on the album themes with no limits in the discovery of new spaces and sound possibilities of the instruments used.
Inland Empire (Império Interior): A Compendium Of Experimental Music Made In Portugal Vol.3
*2024 stock* Inland Empire (Império Interior), or the last brushstroke in a triptych that gazed at the stars, sowed winds and, finally, sought the geographical limits of a country.
Going over the obvious lynchian reference, the last of Wasser Bassin‘s compendiums dedicated to experimental music produced in Portugal brings to light the electronic abstractions of Caranguejos; the irreverent drones of Ehxispê, creative alter-ego of Rodrigo Vieira; and from the banks of the Côa, instead of rock engr…
Meelkop - Hohmann
Tip! *111 copies limited edition in special packaging* "Last year, Martijn Hohmann bumped into Roel Meelkop (Thu20, Kappotte Muziek) at a concert, and as two like-minded musicians would do, let’s work together on music. Hohmann mailed drones and field recordings to Meelkop, who did his magic (as in processing and adding sounds of his doing). Upon completion, a second round of new sounds and new reworkings resulted in four pieces of music, each around 15 minutes, so a solid hour of music. I have …
Emigré
De Fabriek Teams up with the great Ausland (Roberto Auser) for this wonderful journey. It's an album that travels the globe in search for a common language, only to find a Babylonian Confusion of Tongues
Heirloom
Heirloom is the first Lisa Ullén solo recording to appear on LP and exploits the two-sided nature of the physical format with two variations of the same three-part suite, exploring what it means to be ‘in between’ — be it genre, method or identity. The combination of Ullén’s deft control, patience and unconventional technique makes ‘Heirloom’ a sublime, ravishing listen. The LP is pressed on clear vinyl in an edition of 300 copies and housed with a photo of the small box of the possessions she b…
Electric Totems
"Surrealistic games helped us to compose this album: the collective collage in the two longest pieces of the album, the exquisite corpse in the central short pieces, and in all, the automatic writing whose musical equivalent could well be free improvisation.
In the scorching heat of a Valencian August, we raised two electric totem poles. Dr Truna's took the form of his cosmic bull, a great roaring and improvising sculpture; mine, equipped with blowers, was made for the occasion and then dismantl…
Mondo Skull
*17 copies limited edition* L3NR$ is a game of hide and seek. A furious zig zag ride through dimensions, harmonies and sounds. Born from a wide arsenal of sources, kaleidoscopic tape cutups and self build electronic instruments to more drone heavy passages played on the majestic 3 meter high. Spectral organ, secretly kept in a inconspicuous kitchen in Berlin Neukölln. It is nothing but a magical trip to the unknown - not for the faint-hearted.
You Never End
You Never End is the third album from Valentina Magaletti, Tom Halstead and Joe Andrews (Moin) out via AD 93 on the 25th October. Its title alone expresses the teetering and shifting nature of both the album and band. This record marks the Moin’s shift into a new phase with vocal collaborations across the album from Olan Monk, james K, Coby Sey and Sophia Al-Maria.
The album’s collaborators all have voices that are alluring in their own right whilst hard to pin down: from james K’s ethereal, rev…
Alluvial
*2024 stock* Crafted throughout 2004 and early 2005, Rösner’s original source material stems largely from instruments (guitar, percussion, analog electronics), and through his detailed processing and production methods he’s been able to counterpoint a desire for raw digital overtones against earthy acoustic qualities.
The results are simply a pleasure for the ears – course passages of hiss and electronic splutter give way to lilting moments of sheer melodic beauty. With strong humming bass heavy…
