Big tip! 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 alchemy of contemporary political anxieties illuminated…

*300 copies limited edition* Poetry and music in an annually changing Frisian-international ensemble — that’s It Deel, a residency project by the Kleefstra brothers. After three previous sessions and releases with Jacaszek, Eivind Lønning & Espen Reinertsen, and Karen Willems, this beautiful project finds its conclusion with a fourth collaboration. In the summer of 2024, the Kleefstras invited cellist Joana Guerra and violinist Maria do Mar de Brito Lopes for a week-long creative residency at a …

*150 copies limited edition* Richard Youngs is neither a stranger to Fourth Dimension Records or creating music from a disparate array of sources that then fall somewhere near that space where immersive drones converge with something altogether more frayed, ravaged or disquiet. 'Zerkelus', named after an imaginary Babylonian king, comprises two lengthy side-long parts, with the first being akin to something of an extended orchestral tune-up utilising voice, oboe and indiscernible sources to crea…

After months of silence, Pancrace returns with Papotier - a mesmerizing acoustic ritual where a baroque organ becomes a speaking entity. Recorded in a 14th-century church, the album conjures a world where sacred airs and absurd gestures merge, collapsing the divide between voice, instrument, and myth.

“Mine is the Heron” is the new Tom James Scott record, the first document of his solo work since 2017. Over the past decade, the UK-based composer has released a diverse body of recordings via labels such as Bo’Weavil, Carnivals, Where To Now?, and his own impeccably curated Skire imprint.

“Gyropedie,” Anne Guthrie’s third record for Students of Decay, takes us further into her hermetic practice, wherein expertly captured field recordings, French horn, and electronics are woven into potent and richly imagined electroacoustic environments. In Guthrie’s own words, “Quite literally a record of pilgrimage from East to West. Remnants of Midwest and East Coast soundmarks, instruments sold to lighten the travel load, sketched out and then buried under the new. Winter birds and crunching …

Vetter came from the recorder, where his work on multiphonics and microtones drew new pieces out of Stockhausen, Kagel and Bussotti. Here it is pianos and overtone singing, the upper partials pulled away from the fundamental until they read as a separate line.

*200 copies limited edition* Laden with abstraction - one foot in the ethereal, mysterious, and ancient past, the other arching into unknown futures yet to be seen - “Gatha” is a total world, imagistically rising through sound. Saz, tanpura, sarangi, autoharp, synths, bells, flute, percussion and numerous other acoustic sound sources, intertwine in a droning, delicately percussive tapestry, amounting to a brilliant musical hybrid, the depths of which few have realised since the days of La Monte …

*300 copies limited edition* "The Other World was recorded in the spring of 2023 by Greg Norman at his home studio in Chicago. Each track was done in a single take without editing or manipulation. The recordings were made using a Stratocaster running into a minimal effects chain, which was then fed into a small solid state amplifier and captured by a pair of stereo microphones. I was interested in a sound palette that was very blanketed and gray, which led me to cut the high end tone of the guit…

"Gardenia is an existing land located at the Limpopo province of South Africa, right at the border with Botswana. The place's real name is Mmabolela and it's a private nature reserve covering 6500ha of subtropical savanna and part of Limpopo River. In November 2019 I had a chance to visit the location and participate in an annual residency for composers and sound artists called 'Sonic Mmabolela', initiated and curated by Francisco López. We lived in an isolated property in the middle of savanna …

A live trombone laid over recordings of the same material played in three places on the north side of Chicago: an apartment in Rogers Park, the shore of Lake Michigan, and the sanctuary of St Vincent De Paul. The rooms do a good part of the composing.

A landmark, of sorts. Polarlys is the first original release in the catalog of Musica Per Immagini - a label built on excavating the buried archives of Italian library and film music now turning, for the first time, toward the present. The choice of artist is telling. Heinrich Dressel is the alias of Valerio Lombardozzi, a Roman composer and producer who has spent over two decades building one of the most coherent and quietly influential bodies of work in Italian electronic music. Co-founder of …

Long after the year 4000, it's highly likely the sun will shine a different light. Equatorial rain belts may have turned into white-ash flotsam. Animal forms will have undergone a major metamorphosis, with only the memories of danger still archaically intact. Razen tackle the theme of reincarnation hypnosis on Hier L'an 4000, their new album for Hands In The Dark, set for release September '23. Inspired by the writings of Donoso and Slauerhoff, by 1940s SF drawings, sky burials and a fantasy of …

White vinyl Limited Edition to 300 numbered copies When two musicians of this caliber come together, expectations run high - and Double Consciousness not only meets them but transcends them entirely. Oren Ambarchi, the Australian guitar alchemist whose work has redefined what the instrument can do and mean, joins forces with Belgian drummer Eric Thielemans, a player whose sensitivity and restraint have made him one of the most sought-after collaborators in European improvised music.

*300 copies limited edition* Signal, Erik Enocksson and Kristofer Flensmarck's new collaborative work is an electroacoustic composition for voice and electronics – a contemporary echo of late twentieth-century avant-garde text-sound compositions – methodically burrowing its way deeper into a seemingly mundane existence, through alphabetical sequence, all the while revealing its inherent mystery:All förlust / all ilskaall meningslöshet / all skönhetAll natur / all rädslaall skit / all stillhet / …

As long as you come to my garden is a tribute to the Armenian troubadour Sayat Nova, through his lyrics and freely inspired by the cult movie about his life: "The color of the pomegranates" (Nrran Guyny, 1968, USSR) directed by Sergei Parajanov.The feature film tells the life of the poet, who lived in the seventeenth century, from childhood in the royal court, to retirement until his death in the monastery of Haghpat, through a series of episodes, static like paintings that do not tell but show,…

Konrad Zuse, who built the first programmable computer (the Z3, in 1941), suggested that the universe is a computer: underlying the known laws of physics is an algorithmic system like a cellular automaton whose computational output is the matter and energy that make up the universe. In this theory, the world is computed through the interaction of billions of simple elements, and the directional time and 3D space that we experience are emergent properties of this computation. The computation is d…

Haarvöl's fifth album for the label, departing from their previous trilogy. The work draws inspiration from the silence and solitude experienced during the heavy Portuguese pandemic lockdowns, while celebrating the act of coming together again - and is the first Haarvöl record composed live in the same room rather than by exchanging files at distance. Seven pieces of drone microsound and ambient electroacoustic writing whose titles describe a quiet, indecipherable tone under post-real time.

This extraordinary summit meeting brings together three of the most distinctive voices in contemporary experimental music: Charlemagne Palestine, the grand patriarch of drone and sustained tone; Oren Ambarchi, whose guitar work ha…
