Squash
Limited to 200 hand-numbered copies. Packaged in a squashed can with 2 sets of nuts and bolts holding the package together. Inside the package is a paper strip insert. The essence of Aube's artistic philosophy has never been more distilled, more physically incarnate, than in Squash, the 1995 cassette that transmutes the humble sound of compressed metal into a meditation on materiality, reduction, and sonic design.
Originally released in a limited run of 100 copies on Chocolate Monk UK via Aube'…
Good Night
On January 11, 2010, I received a message from a woman who introduced herself as a friend of my good buddy Aki Onda. She was going to be part of a music night at a space in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, called Death by Audio. She asked if I’d be willing to do a solo set there as well. That’s how I came to be leaning against a doorframe, after having played my own set, listening to Margarida Garcia on her electric double bass. Her music was original, soulful, thoughtful, and laden with mystery. Upon …

Stripping back to just their voices and instruments, this collaboration delivers finely nuanced interplay where Golia’s rich spectrum of woodwinds weaves organically with Mines' deep rhythmic foundation and expressive vocal textures.
Holy Trinity
Rooted in Altman's exploratory practice, she weaves clarinet alongside a sparse palette of preparations, objects, tapes, and feedback. She crafts a series of pieces that are at once delicate and textural yet bold and expressive that reflect both the unique acoustics of the space and her subtle, inquisitive approach to sound, offering a contemplative and tactile listening experience that blurs the line between instrument, environment, and intervention.

Lucciole
Lucciole is Silvia Tarozzi’s luminous follow-up to the intimate reflections of Mi specchio e rifletto and the deeply rooted folk dialogues of Canti di guerra, di lavoro e d’amore with Deborah Walker. Here, Tarozzi draws together voices, memories, and musical lineages to create an album where avant-garde composition, personal narrative, and collective resonance exchange freely. The album opens with a radiant brass ensemble—chosen for its popular, celebratory, spiritual sound—and closes with the P…

poèmes de bouche:
because they were conceived with the mouth as if they were to be spoken in tongues

“murmurs” and not “murmures” to recall murmur, the demon that teaches philosophy and keeps murmuring up in the head
Folklore & Concepts

Infused with tape, synths, prepared piano, horns, and voice, the album melds shamanistic energy with surreal group interplay, creating an unpredictable and stubbornly original sonic tapestry.
