The Flicker
*50 copies limited edition* "Tony Conrad has always been a constant inspiration for both Glen and myself and one of the main reasons we started making drone music in the first place. When Paul Williams contacted me last year about the relaunch of Table Of The Elements, I proposed a screening of the Tony Conrad documentary followed by a performance of our duo Mertens & Steenkiste. As a filmmaker myself, I wondered if it would be possible for us to score one of Tony’s films, more specifically his …
Den falmede dag
A new year, some fresh Kashual Plastik. Absolute organic. The campfire is burning, FM radio in the air, with not so frequent frequencies. Gently waiting for the flood that brings no water. An accordion weeps, an organ cries, sweet acoustic guitar chords, a dancing piano, a shy voice, singing intimate stories. Sacred white noise in the off. Bits of found sounds in the accounts.

Radis
Black Truffle is pleased to present Radis, the first recording by the Oslo-based trio of Andrea Giordano (voice and organetto), Kalle Moberg (accordion) and Jo David Meyer Lysne (guitar and snare drum).

Pieces For Broken Piano
Pieces for Broken Piano turns a weather‑wrecked 1916 Gebrüder Stingl grand into an accidental “prepared” instrument, as Miroslav Beinhauer navigates new works by Terry Riley, Philip Glass, Milan Knížák, Gordon Monahan, Elliott Sharp, Milan Gustar and Yoon‑Ji Lee written specifically for its fractured voice.
Issue 86 (Magazine)
Audion 86 arrives as a concentrated blast of deep listening culture, a 44-page A4 issue that treats the margins of rock, jazz and experimental sound as its natural centre. First published on 6 February 2025 in simultaneous printed and pdf editions, the magazine continues Audion’s long-running refusal to follow fashion, pursuing instead what its editors call “explorations in sound and music” - the points where history gets strange, regional scenes bloom in isolation, and aesthetics mutate far fro…
