Gyorgy At The Space Bar
*2025 stock. 100 copies limited edition* During a 4-day residency at kunstencentrum Nona, april 2023, Ocean Eddie worked together with Swedish vocalist Sofia Jernberg (The End, Trondheim Jazz Orchestra, Mette Rasmussen), recording new material for their 2nd album.
Adding vocalist Sofia Jernberg, the trio challenges itself, pushing the orchestral unbalanced combination of instruments even further. Written music, played from the perspective of free musicians, the music can be described as minimal,…

Zethson is a member of groups such as Goran Kajfes’ Tropiques, Martin Küchen's Angles, Fire! Orchestra, Vathres, and more. The duo met in Athens when Tropiques played at the legendary record store, gallery and concert venue Underflow, where Veliotis was …
Kalpa
Kommun, led by Swedish guitarist Finn Loxbo, resides in the tension between the experience of circular time; an elongated now, and the expectations contained within our linear perception of time. The ensemble explores the tension between the individual’s own lines and the collective meaning-making. Every sound is equally important, concrete in itself, as much a building block as a decoration. The ensemble collectively improvises phrases that are formed together as a singular element. They are di…
Anasýnthesi
Herzog | Muche | Nillesen is a trio featuring Matthias Muche (trombone), Etienne Nillesen (extended snare drum), and Constantin Herzog (double bass). Their music operates in the liminal space between improvisation and composition, where shifting textures and microtonal structures unfold in slow- motion transformations. Drawing on minimalist, spectral, and extended instrumental techniques, their sound is less about individual gestures and more about emergent sonic phenomena— where the interplay o…
For Translucence
The debut album from Whitney Johnson & Lia Kohl has evolved over several years from their initial practice of free improvisation on viola and cello into (for the moment), this: a neophonic orchestral expression. At once stimulating and soothing, For Translucence is a living, breathing meditation in which layers of acoustic strings, synthesizers, field recordings, radio and sine waves illuminate each other as they twine and grow.

El retorn de l'escolta - A la memòria de Marianne Brull
This recording is the document of the concert that took place on March 15, 2023 at L’Auditori de Barcelona in Sala 04-Alicia de Larrocha.
It is therefore a document as faithful as possible to what happened that day when for the first time Doneda, Ninh and Andorrà were on stage.
Michel Doneda and Lê Quan Ninh, a stable duet for more than thirty years, have set up a space for joint creation based on a radical concept of listening that avoids any extramusical narrative to focus on the conformati…
Water Futures
About the album“Water Futures” refers to the buying and selling of stocks based on the speculation that potable water will soon become a scarce resource due to the accelerating climate crisis. The sonic content within the album aims to reinforce the existential discomfort that this is a potential reality.
About the soundsEach track on this album is achieved using combinations of reeds, straws, saxophones, saliva, water, and air in various proportions. No electronic effects were used in the makin…
Deep Talk In A Shallow Creek
This recording was made June 3, 2023 near Kingston New York while standing in the Stony Kill. In part one, John and Evan improvise with and against each other and nature. The raging water is a dynamic barrier at once the audible center and distracting noise. Part two showcases audio’s ability to fool the senses, by slowing the playback speed we can challenge the figure/ground relationship.
"If there is a need for constant sound I like a creek. They are reliable, if rain-dependent. Of making soun…
Orbweaver
Leaping from a twig, a spider lays a strand of silk in the open air. Intuitively, it traces a design, reactive to its environment but guided by something deeper. As it works towards the center, something resembling a home emerges, intricate in its design and inevitably imperfect. The web comes to represent the creature’s creative response to the world and its needs within it. Artmaking and music- making emerge from a similar nerve: through the impulsive drive to create a space for one’s self, cr…
Klangkorpus
*2025 stock. 200 copies limited edition* "Strings and Stamps. When two become one. A cliché from romantic texts, perhaps, but also an apt saying for the duo that has created the music on this album. They come from different backgrounds and traditions but have both found ways to break free from those conventions without making an ostentatious break—instead, it feels entirely natural and deeply organic. A new realm has opened up for us and for them, where their strings intertwine like a shared cli…
Gap Of Ginn
*2025 stock. 300 copies limited edition* The fiddle player Hans P. Kjorstad from Oppland and the cellist Ernst Reijseger from the Netherlands met each other in the winter of 2022 after the concert series Blow Out! in Oslo invited Kjorstad to come and play with whoever he wanted. The choice was simple, Reijseger's background as a pioneering improviser since the 70s (ICP, Amsterdam String Trio, Clusone 3+++) plus the later years' explorations of the interplay between sound and image in collaborati…
The Quiet Sun
*100 copies limited edition* "Composer and percussionist Sarah Hennies and composer and bassist Tristan Kasten-Krause make music rooted in observation. Timbres across percussion and string instruments gradually meld into one; pitches gently float into consonance after bristling in dissonance. With The Quiet Sun, their debut duo album, the two musicians present two pieces that survey their nuanced approach to sound as it grows over time. The album, recorded at Issue Project Room, presents two wor…
Beyondddddd The Notessssss
Tip! *200 copies limited edition* In the depths of Geneva’s Fonderie Kugler red-lit-boudoir, stand four grand pianos surrounded by divinities. The two elder Erard brothers are tuned down a quarter tone lower than their neighbours, a twin pair of gleaming and valiant Yamaha’s. Charlemagne and Seppe both sit facing each other, managing the 428Hz tuning from the tip of their left hand, while the right hand controls the conventional 440Hz machine. This four-piano fantasy was born a few years ago, w…
Villa Hügel
For over half a century, Sven Åke Johansson and Rüdiger Carl have explored the boundaries of music together. Villa Hügel captures a rare moment: a concert with no audience, recorded in 2020 in the library of Villa Hügel during the 2 x Kippenberger exhibition. The few present could only experience it in-house via TV transmission. Carl on accordion, Johansson on percussion, cardboard, and crackle box—an interplay of structure and openness, sound and silence. This release follows Johansson’s exhib…

Añagazas, estratagemas, jugarretas y tretas
*2025 stock* "Ricardo Arias & Violeta Garcia Anagazas, Estatagemas, Jugarreta Y Tretas eh? MC Amazing duo set, recorded in Bogota, Colombia, in March 2020. Garcia plays cello and Arias plays bass balloon. Garcia’s cello playing has plenty of freak register exploration going on, and it’s almost shocking how much sound Arias is able to get from his inflated bladder. You’d think it could be a sort of gimmicky thing to do, but there’s some real majesty going on here. Sounds totally great and it’s a …

Intimate guitar recordings made at C Haxholms home in the countryside. This tape to me feels like a quite unique snapshot into the Artists daily life, But at the same time the music feels very composed and thoughtful. A very sweet and heartwarming tape
Journey to the Cave of Guanyin
The inspiration for these pieces comes from the Chinese folklore of Guanyin, a deity whose name translates to ‘the one who perceives all the sounds, or cries, of the world’. Also known as Guanshiyin 觀世音, she is the embodiment of infinite compassion. I grew up knowing of Guanyin as a female deity, but recently discovered that she had transformed through the centuries from the male Hindu bodhisattva, Avalokiteśvara. I instantly found an affinity for this gender-fluid figure, who was said to have a…
