Time Lapse Of Wet Fire
*50 copies limited edition* Visionary experimental project Orphan Parapet announces the release of its latest full-length work, Time Lapse Of Wet Fire, a daring exploration of sound, memory, and atmosphere.

Time Lapse Of Wet Fire unfolds like a halluc…
Soil Leaf Root
"As a concoction of whirring, electronics-strewn field recordings, this over fifty minute piece is intoxicating in its intimacy, like drifting half asleep through various conversations, rituals, prayers. As a piece which considers the “complex entanglements of migrant stories, memory, identity, otherness”, it feels urgently, cacophonously important, a sonic insight into our shared humanity" — Spenser Tomson In this project, Paul and Masimba capture almost five years of conversation as they stood…
Inner Day
For his second solo album, master drummer Jim White travels further into expressionist landscapes of private meditation; his vehicle, an evocative duet of keyboards and drums alongside his debut as a vocalist. Translating his formidable percussive intuitions through this dialogue has given Jim a fresh compositional voice. Inner Day is like a state of nature, evoking peace and tension, rest and disquiet, all aloft on the wind of new discovery.
In March 2024, Jim White released his first-ever solo…
The Oracle
Big tip! *300 copies limited edition, includes download card* Acclaimed New York-based composer Lea Bertucci offers The Oracle, a striking, vocal-focused collection of music that spans six tracks of adventurous sounds steeped in mysticism and imagination, over three years in the making. Her first purely solo endeavor since 2021’s much lauded A Visible Length of Light (Cibachrome Editions), The Oracle breaks new ground within the scope of Bertucci’s singular voice as an artist.
The Oracle is an al…
A Book of Waves
"After playing together for years, our tide was turning. What began as a happy rhythm of show dates in Berlin, from cozy trios in Klaus’ home studio to ten-piece ensembles at Ausland, was now ebbing away thanks to Andy’s move to the US. Whenever an accustomed pattern shifts it can take time to readjust, to find the gravity that will pull to shape an orbit again. What had been working well between us remained on both our minds for a few years after: the tension between complimentary forms and ref…
Piling Against Twenty Centuries of History
A decaying transmission of lo-fi textures, fractured drones, and dark ambient noise. uœrhe crafts a sonic archive of entropy and memory—where time collapses into static, and history hums beneath layers of analog dust.
Three Pieces for Field Recording & Processed Piano
2025 stock Sounds sourced, prepared and composed 2020-2021.Mixed, mastered and recorded to tape early 2022.
Pohreb
Richard Hronský’s “Pohreb” uses intimate soundscapes—wood, radio, bird songs—to evoke childhood memories and the grief of loss, transforming personal audio diaries into a universal meditation on change, tradition, and time’s passage.
Baboon and Chest
From the frayed edges of sounds that once hummed and the lingering ghost of forgotten amplifier feedback & the unanswered answering machine message echo, Glands of External Secretion return with their most different album until the next one. "Baboon and Chest" is a four-pronged stumble through the usual-yet-unusual and weird-yet-no-weird delightful auditory wreckage. This "collection" stitches together echoes across time, from 1987 to 2025 and from San Francisco and Long Beach then to Edinburgh …
String Figures
String Figures, Felicity Mangan’s debut solo LP on Elevator Bath, blends tactile drones, electronic tones, and wetland field recordings into inventive, emotionally rich compositions. Using string timbres and digital processing, she crafts angular, ambient pieces that are both varied and cohesively poetic.
Heilun
Following three full-length collections and a transcendent series of individual long form works, Iceland’s Hyldýpi makes his Past Inside The Present debut with Heilun (tr: “Healing”), a set of seven pieces that flow across 90 blissful minutes. Formed only with guitar and a modest selection of hardware, each movement is an improvisation born from a state of meditation. According to the artist, these sonic sculptures are “inspired by the raw nature [of Iceland], both within and without… I feel as …
Anthology Of Experimental Music From Australia
*100 copies limited edition* For over a decade, the Sound Mapping series has traced the evolving landscapes of experimental music across the globe. This chapter turns its ear to Australia, a continent whose sonic expressions are as vast, isolated, and idiosyncratic as its geography. The artists featured in this compilation explore a wide terrain of auditory possibilities, from shimmering drones and granular textures to fractured electronics and abstract field manipulations. There’s a rawness her…
Planetarium
An aural exploration of the solar system by Sonologyst, using data from NASA's probes.
Cyclical Tombeau
Zach Rowden presents Cyclical Tombeau on Second Sleep, a haunting exploration of repetitive structures and drone that transforms the double bass into an otherworldly sound-making device. Through prepared techniques and extended bowing, Rowden creates circular funeral dirges that blur the boundaries between acoustic instrument and spectral presence. Connecticut-based Rowden has established himself as one of the most innovative voices in experimental bass music, known for his work with Tongue Depr…
Katatonic Silentio
Captured in the immersive cocoon of the Hypnose Room during the 2023 edition of La Nature, this debut release on Fleur Sauvage is a raw transmission of Katatonic Silentio’s improvisational live ritual. Split into four parts across two 12” records, this work moves between experimental abstraction, textured noise, and cinematic ambient. Tension runs like a thread through each piece—sometimes humming beneath the surface, sometimes rupturing into visceral sonic peaks that leave you breathless. Deep …
Quilted lament
Under the right conditions, half-remembered dreams can meld seamlessly into hazy present moments. Time spent alone can be an emotional blank canvas, and an opportunity to deconstruct sense and feeling; a patchwork of snippets both rooted in memory and abstracted from reality. The title of ‘quilted lament’ perfectly captures the way Gretchen Korsmo and claire rousay’s overlapping missions come together to do just this. Worn polaroid melodies and snatched everyday noises seem overheard through win…
Cabanes
It has been almost seven years since the release of Alpestres, the impressive debut by Matthias Puech on Hands in the Dark. While that first experience took us on a mystical journey through fascinating fictional landscapes, 'Cabanes' lets its narrative unfold in a confined space: eight pieces each resembling small structures or makeshift shelters that, while enveloping and isolating the listener, remain open to their surroundings. These are not merely interiors; they are handcrafted spaces throu…
Adorable Ruin
2025 stock ‘Adorable Ruin’ is the second release of Stokholm-based composer and electronician Siri Jennefelt under her Nev Lilit moniker, and her first one to be released on vinyl. Each composition of the release starts with a drone that seems to be of a similar design, but brings us into vastly differing worlds. Jennefelt’s blend of large, primal drums and meticulously crafted synthesis, that moves independent of each other, makes a fitting canvas for her extensive arsenal of haunting, dystopi…

Both Birdsey and McColm are part of an extended New Haven (CT) musician family (think of Stefan Christensen, Shirese, David Shapiro, Center, Figured, Tongue Depressor etc.).

A New Astronomy
2006 release ** "A New Astronomy is the reissue of a CD-R limited to only 100 copies released in 2005 by Sub Pop and which serves as a pleasant appetizer while waiting for the new album scheduled for 2007. Dedicated to the do-it-yourself astronomer Giovanni Paneroni, who lived in the first half of the 20th century and theoretician of a new astronomy antithetical to the Copernican one (flatness of the earth, smallness of the sun, nothing but a sphere 2 meters in diameter and weighing 14 kg!), A N…
