Fever
Canyon's album 'Fever,' released on the Ikuisuus label in 2008, is an obscure freak folk record characterized by its enigmatic and experimental soundscapes. The album merges traditional folk elements with unconventional textures and moods, offering a captivating auditory experience for listeners who appreciate rare and avant-garde folk music.
Thylacine
Drawing from Tasmania’s rugged landscapes and the spectral absence of its lost fauna, Clinton Green composes a series of site-specific sound works that fuse kinetic turntable setups with ambient field recordings. The album is an evocative journey through environmental improvisation, blending mechanical invention, wildlife acoustics, and subtle instrumental textures into a narrative of listening and ecological reverence.
Steady State
In a sonic dialogue that balances delicacy and depth, Clinton Green and Barnaby Oliver explore the shifting textures of acoustics and resonance. Employing bowed aluminum bowls, strings, and a grand piano, their work unfolds in patient layers that probe the very essence of sound and its environment, evoking an atmosphere of quiet tension and subtle transformation.
Stable Processes with Slow Ornaments
Theo Alexander’s Stable Processes with Slow Ornaments, released by Flung Records in 2025, is a 36-minute single-movement work for viola, bass clarinet, and eight tape players. The composition fuses acoustic and electronic textures, unspooling as a patient meditation on resonance, memory, and the slow shifts of sound in space.
Exhibit A
Dan Melchior is great randomizer of a musician. Born in the UK, based in the US for the last 20 years, his discography ranges from raw garage rock to avant garde tape collages, visiting a whole lots of other points in between. Exhibit A is his first collaboration with P.G. Six (aka Pat Gubler) the wonderful New England based multi-instrumentalist, who has previously appeared with Wet Tuna (FTR 364LP, 2018), Weeping Bong Band (FTR 313LP, 2018), MV & EE (FTR 167LP, 2015) and Joshua Burkett (FTR 19…
Den Oändliga Historien
*300 copies limited edition.* Blod, the enigmatic Swedish folk collective, announces the release of Den Oändliga Historian (The Endless Story), a new album that represents both the band's darkest exploration yet and paradoxically their most uplifting work. Recorded during spring 2025 and released on Förlag För Fri Musik (catalog number 033), the album showcases an expanded lineup featuring core members Gustaf Dicksson, Elin Engström, Julia Bjernelind, Magnus Jäverling, and Erik Ridelius, alongs…
Archipelago
Jonas Kocher returns to solo work with Archipelago, his third solo album, following Solo (2011) and Materials (2009). Across seven improvised pieces, Kocher explores the tension between control and unpredictability, between the organic and the mechanical. The result is a captivating music where precision meet raw physicality, and where each moment unfolds with striking immediacy. Rich in contrasts and textures, Archipelago navigates through resonant chords, fragmented melodies, sharp attacks, ha…
One Another
“The body’s relation to the social is inseparable from, and of the same relation to the world, not a relation of objectification but a carnal intertwining prior to any reflective judgement.” -Rosalyn Diprose
Conversation No. 1 / Collecting Rocks From The Places We've Been
Conversation No. 1/ Collecting Rocks from the Places We’ve Been is a solo for bass clarinet which can be performed as a duo, trio, or maybe someday with many, many bass clarinets, or in collaboration with other artists. Katie Porter is interested in creating systems of music that she can exist in together, for herself and others, music that collapses and expands on itself, where we are free to choose the phrases, iterations, and lean into the occurrences of overlapping tones, vibrations, multi-…
Arteria
Over the past decade, saxophonist Makoto Kawashima has consistently established himself as one of the most compelling improvisers in contemporary music. His unique approach to solo performance aligns him with the tradition of groundbreaking Japanese saxophonists like Kaoru Abe, Tamio Shiraishi, and Masayushi Urabe. Operating at the fringes of improvised music, Kawashima's artistry unveils a delicate essence, placing equal focus on silence and minute detail alongside intense expressions of tone a…
To Hit A Pressure Point
Lao Dan's innovative approach to music seamlessly intertwines elements of rock, free jazz, and noise with textures of Chinese folk music, creating a unique tapestry characterized by improvisational and aesthetic tension. His fearless transgression of genres, infusing Chinese folk-tinged free jazz with the raw energy of punk, results in a compelling and dynamic listening experience.
Music For Writers
Music for Writers is a wordless collection of pieces meant to accompany thought and inspire another way. It is music made in both stillness and motion, music that listens as much as it speaks. Each track offers a space—open, textured, often slow-moving—where ideas, images, and feelings drift in and out. It's a record I've been thinking about and wanting to make for a long time - my first solo instrumental album. The album was recorded across places—Brooklyn, Berlin, Latvia—using a minimal setup:…
Styx
Arriving just four months after his previous release, Tombed Visions obsession with the work of guitarist Takashi Masubuchi continues with the release of 'Styx'.
Microcanonical Ensemble
Microcanonical Ensemble is an album woven with subtle paradoxes, balancing stasis and movement, resonance and decay, improvisation and composition, precision and raw performance. While the echoes of Morton Feldman, Jürg Frey, and the Wandelweiser scene whisper through their music, the group's contrasting approaches, coupled with an openness and fragility, create a sound that is rustic and fallibly human.
With purely acoustic instrumentation, the quartet of Takashi Masubuchi, Wakana Ikeda, Tom So…
Looms & Legends
"How and why do we continue to make art in this bizarre time? Let me try here to offer a small break from insanity. I do believe that for listeners in our small pond, focused attention on sonic expression might help the individual keep a connection with their humanity and reinforce positive human endeavors—love, empathy, and truth-seeking. These seemingly obvious pursuits now need support as they are so unbelievably at risk. I offer this music as an aural refuge for mind and body. Such small bre…
Line Drawings
*75 copies limited edition* Layered improvisations converge to form a duo of longform drone harmonies, composed entirely with the bow chime. This esoteric instrument, comprising a large stainless steel resonating sheet paired with an array of tuned rods, produces a rich spectrum of tones and pitches when bowed. The recording emphasizes its deeply resonant qualities, unfolding in a continuous sonic line — fluid, unbroken, and immersive.
Peace And Happiness
The legendary double bass master is not appearing in our catalogue for the first time, but for the first time we have the honour of publishing music that has not appeared on Paul Rogers' albums many times before. A recital for solo double bass! If one could wish for the bass to speak, we believe that it does so most fully and poignantly when played by this wonderful master.

Meshes Of The Evening
"The beauty and power of Meshes of the Evening doesn’t come from isolated passages or specific exchanges, no matter how exciting and satisfying they may be. What has riveted me each time I’ve listened to the music is how Davies and Beins occupy a single space together, totally aligned and in a zone that makes time irrelevant. It would be wrong to say they’re in a shared trance because music that’s so detailed and subject to constant transformation requires a heightened awareness. Yet Davies and …
Ethereal Chant
The Lava Quartet—Berlin to Portugal—unites for free improvisation, blending creativity and extended techniques. Their debut album, "Ethereal Chant," showcases boundary-breaking, unpredictable soundscapes.
