Musiques Tourbes
*200 copies limited edition* Sound artist, instrument builder and field recordist, Diane Barbé makes their return on forms of minutiae with “musiques tourbes”, a weaving of wetland soundscapes and biomimicking synthesis. Concerned with interspecies conjunctions while nurturing the planet as a finite verdant space, Diane Barbé plays with experimental music, listening practices and activism to bring attention to delicate environmental phenomena, that, despite their minute size, translate profoundl…
Musik vom Nebengleis
Mega Tip! ** Incredible compilation assembled by, and including nonetheless than Brannten Schnüre. Gathering together unreleased tracks by Vox Populi! Limpe Fuchs, Läuten der Seele, Christoph Heeman and more, this is the most pleasant surprise we could get from Quirlschlängle. Still two months before Christmas, but the greatest gift is already here. ** "Nebengleis“ is one of those strange and rare German words that seem to be born both out of the dust of a bureaucratic, functional grammar and a …
Klusterfuck
Biiig Tip! This is a strange one. Originally conceived as part of an anarchistic publication, the tracks culled from two live performances at separate locations in London’s Shoreditch got as far as the test pressing stage as long as 5 years ago and then forgotten. The publication never materialised and the cut lacquers and metalwork lay languishing in a dark corner on a dusty bottom shelf in the pressing plants storeroom. Forgotten until we were presented with a hefty bill for production and s…

III
Tip! *200 copies limited edition* "Yesterday it started to rain… The smell of damp tarmac rising up through open windows, a smell which is uniquely evocative for us all depending on our individual histories: a suburban pavement, a school playground, a basketball court. The rain cut through a band of low pressure that had been lying over the city for days, pinging rhythmically off metal, causing rolling tyres to hiss and spit. The music that soundtracked this meteorological shift was the debut fu…
Sueños acuáticos
Water ripples all around, and echoing sounds stretch out into a shady sub aquatic habitat. Its dark corners slowly burst into view as cresting noises reveal fresh caverns teeming with liquid life. This is Sueños Acuáticos, the latest sonic exploration from Lamina, a musical project by French artist, Clarice Calvo-Pinsolle. Built from years of carefully gathered field recordings, the album constructs immersive, detailed soundscapes where watery environments, caves, and forests intertwine with dig…

South Winds
2003 release ** "South Winds presents the results of a recording session Christof Migone undertook with Le Petomane (Joseph Pujol 1857-1945). Le Petomane performed his fart fantasia at the Moulin Rouge in Paris where, to much acclaim, he would imitate musical instruments and with his 'second mouth' hum recognisable tunes. For South Winds, Le Petomane and Migone sought to explore these somatic winds as a response to Artaud's ontological formulation: "the depth of my being is the volume of my body…
On Air
No Noise Reduction, a collaboration project between Rafael Toral and João Paulo Feliciano, operated throughout the 1990's and early 2000's. In the Summer of 1995, João Paulo Feliciano and myself did a more focused effort on extended improvisation pieces, each with either guitars or circuit-bent toys and various effects (including tape echo Copycats). We did a mini-tour performing only in radio stations, as live broadcasts. Back then we were really excited about experimenting new things and that …
Oordeel
This collaboration was bound to happen someday! Out of mutual respect and admiration for each other’s work Asmus Tietchens and Frans de Waard decided to work on some music together. The result is “Oordeel" (dutch for "judgement") – eleven tracks of diverse character and subtle beauty. From distorted groans and gritty pulses to delicate and abstract sound layers Tietchens and de Waard have created a fascinating sound world of bizarre beauty.

Bwa Ba Baw Boi
*2024 stock* Dwarf Lift Dwarf is a two-headed cerberus with crumpled masks of celestial rascals. His chirps sound like the call of a freshly deconditioned post-Hawaiian pizza. One mouthful leading to another, creepers and castrated quarterbacks arch perilously over putrid swamps where the spoils of a lucid duty-free tourist languish.
The intentions are clear: to emerge virtuous from the winter of 2020, accompanied by the priest of priests Flavio Bagnasco le Cremovo, aka Cremyeuse, on the double-…
Moot!

The album spans psych, alternative rock and post-punk mixed with their signature electronics and sampling practice.
The record was made as an experiment, to be enjoyed,…
