Tip! “Logrende tunger” documents the first meeting between accordionist Kalle Moberg and saxophonist Kei Matsumaru — both extraordinary instrumentalists who pay great attention to the purely sonic qualities of their instruments, but also share a profoundly complimentary understanding of harmony and form. The duo was introduced by mutual friend and colleague Jim O’Rourke, whose inner ear suggested that the two might create something special together. And indeed, the recording O’Rourke made of the…
Joanna Mattrey on viola, Camila Nebbia on tenor sax, Camilo Ángeles on flute and Violeta García on cello, recorded live at Jazzwerkstatt Bern in 2024: strings, winds and breath in a shifting collective language.
Weston Olencki's compositions for the Quebec percussion trio Bascaille: tuned fiddles, homemade zithers, watershed debris, speaker cones and an upright piano in two long pieces of friction, resonance and lopsided pulse.
Cellist Elisabeth Coudoux and guitarist Chuck Roth, who plays unprocessed and unpedaled, in a free improvised duo of shifting densities, extended techniques and fragile silences, recorded in Philadelphia in 2025.
Solo guitar by Swiss improviser Florian Stoffner: six pieces he recorded himself at Bee Street studio, mixed by John Butcher, stretching the instrument's vocabulary through texture, space and spontaneous invention.
'Σ [sigma]' is the new album by composer, saxophone player and improviser Antonio Raia. The first chapter of a trilogy dedicated to Berlin — where Raia spent several weeks recording alongside producer Francesco Donadello in different locations — 'Σ [sigma]' reflects on the relationship between body, space and sound, understood as a performative gesture closely linked to the space that hosts it.
Recorded inside the Wasserturm in Prenzlauer Berg—the oldest water tower in Berlin, built in 1877—'Σ …
Second duo LP by Sarah Hennies and Tristan Kasten-Krause: two sidelong pieces grown from a live work played in darkness, singing bowls, gongs and double bass drifting into waltz-like pulses and field recordings. Numbered edition of 200.
Ithaca trio of Sarah Hennies, Willie B. and Keir Neuringer, three percussionists reaching into vibraphone, saxophone and piano. Eight studio improvisations, playful and energetic, held against a meditative core.
The debut album of the French master improviser from the early 80s finally available again! her impressive release-list over the years - solo, duos, trios, big projects – shows a range of works with most of the current improvisers, to new music (Cage, Scelsi) and dance and theatre with two main constants - playing live plus the celebration of improvisation. This album here shows in a wonderful way how it all started – a strong player with her voice and her instrument. Recorded at Studio Achille,…
*50 copies limited edition* »A Grey City With Its Beast« is a solo recording for choor khuur, composed and performed by Anqi Liu and recorded in San Diego in 2026. The choor khuur is an older Mongolian bowed instrument related to the morin khuur, yet it has its own construction and behaviour: a skin-covered body, horsehair strings and bow, a sound peg, and a Mongolian knife inserted between the bridge and body permit minute adjustments of tuning and timbre. Temperature, humidity, pressure, and t…
This is a set of improvised studies made on the Clavemusicum Omnituonum, a harpsichord designed in1606 by Trasunto with 31 keys per octave. With this 2016 copy made by Markus Krebs for Studio31(Basel), I let the music unfold out of the gestures the hands were able to make thanks to the newpossibilities - and obstacles - created by such a keyboard. As a classically trained harpsichordist, Irelished the opportunity to fully embrace the oblique angles opened up by the keyboard’s disorientinglayout,…
Lummer is the Swedish name for the now protected family of vascular plants (Clubmoss/Lycopodiaceae). Lummer grows slowly and the spores with which it reproduces can take 12—20 years to develop. These spores, known as Nikt in Swedish, were once ground into an extremely flammable light yellow “old woman’s gunpowder” that was used for early theatrical pyrotechnics. Volatile and explosive, Lummernikt requires careful handling. There is something of the small scale dangerous in Finn Loxbo’s Lummernik…
Four years have passed since the release of Jon Collin's majestic Bridge Variations on Discreet Music, arguably one of the most defining and well-received releases on the label. Works is the first LP under the Early Music artist name - first the title of a 2015 solo LP, then a name for a label before being used for a couple of recent cassette releases - and was recorded in Stockholm over a nine-month period last year. The main instrumentation is again the keyed fiddle - a traditional Swedish fol…
Which is the more productive situation for improvisation: the shock of the first time encounter, unhindered by history or habit, or the long-term association and the evolution of more complex interactions? It's an unresolved, perhaps even undecidable, question. This recording brings together four improvisers together in a multi-layered situation which combines multiple permutations of the untried and the familiar. The four had never all played together before but the quartet contains various his…
*2026 stock. 100 copies limited edition* "Bill Harris is a community builder first and foremost. As one of the founders of the Amalgam collective, he has helped to keep Chicago’s storied improvised music scene together through the dark ages of the 2020s.

*200 copies limited edition* Following the acclaimed Tectonic Plates, his celebrated collaboration with John Butcher and Mark Sanders, Alan Niblock returns to 577 Records with Sonic Breath, a striking solo work built from the elemental encounter between improvised voice and double bass. On Sonic Breath, Niblock treats the double bass not simply as an instrument but as a resonant environment for the voice. Breath, vibration, texture and gesture become the primary materials, allowing the music to …
*2026 stock* Following 'Passenger' (tsss tapes, 2023), Ted Byrnes & Jeph Jerman Play Drums is a further exploration of percussive collaboration. Recorded in much the same way (iterative file exchange), Play Drums is quite literal in its title. It is entirely acoustic, with both participants playing a conventional drum set, albeit *all* parts of it. The recording is dedicated to Tim Barnes, close friend and constant source of inspiration to both Ted and Jeph.
*100 copies limited edition* Flung is proud to present gwaith anwel, the first recorded document of the long-running musical partnership between violinist Angharad Davies and double bassist Dominic Lash.
