I Know the Number of the Sand and the Measure of the Sea
I Know the Number of the Sand and the Measure of the Sea is the first collaboration of Lea Bertucci and Olivia Block. This collaboration was set into slow motion some years ago, in 2017, when Lea and Olivia connected through an interview facilitated by writer Steve Smith. In 2022, the artists finally had a chance to collaborate, performing an improvised set at Pioneer Works in New York City. Since then, the New York based Bertucci and Chicago based Block remotely built out ideas stemming from th…
Papotier
Marking the final chapter of a visionary trilogy, “Papotier” sees Pancrace return in full force. A haunting exploration of breath, language, and acoustics, recorded around a historic Silbermann organ in Alsace, the album is a radical statement of sonic identity - fragile, fearless, and gloriously unclassifiable.
Last Blues
*150 copies limited release* "A mysterious folio of sonic snapshots, as much recaptured as composed, by Jon Dale’s project, Moth, in Adelaide in the late ’90s and early ’00s.
From the ready means of guitar, amp, and tape, a congruous but diverse selection of unnamed tracks emerge - musical moments borrowed from oblivion with the as yet unfulfilled good intention of returning them. Their sounds evoke abstract polaroids of winter seascapes flecked with spare, brittle detail, or the scaly-winged fl…
Eventual
*Lathe Cut, Limited Edition, 66 copies. clear, 180g vinyl* 'Eventual' is the first album by double bass player Gonçalo Almeida and 'knob twidler' Rutger Zuydervelt. It's not exactly their first collaboration though, having released two EPs, 'Doze Ruinas' and 'Jangadas', and being colleagues in Hydra Ensemble (with cellists Lucija Gregov and Nina Hitz). When film maker Lex Reitsma commissioned Rutger Zuydervelt for the soundtrack of his documentary about photographer Koos Breukel, Zuydervelt prop…
III: Paz en las rupturas
Tip! *250 copies limited edition* The Kriego is the joint project of musicians and sound artists Fernando Feria & Emiliano Cruz. Born from cultivating similar creative interests in sound art, improvisation, and composition, the duo weaves a sound born of noise, ambient, and free improvisation; exploring various formats and using the electric guitar as their main mean of expression. The project emerged in October 2021 in Mexico City with the presentation of their album I at Casa Patricio, later p…
The Lost Tapes
*Limited edition of 50 copies* The Lost Tapes offers us some secret homemade gems recordings from the 1980s rich Spanish underground. The Spanish transition from fascism to democracy was not as smooth as they wanted us to believe. Still, there were many traumas to deal with, and noise music was the perfect medium to channel them. If noise in the 80s Japan was the acceleration of transgression resembling the economic boom that was going on in the country, Marcelo Expósito has worked through the u…
Astro-Darien
*2025 stock* Astro-Darien is a 26-minute sonic fiction about the break-up of Britain narrated by synthetic Scottish voices and framed as an eponymous video game. It is the 2nd vinyl release on Hyperdub’s sub-label Flatlines and its dark green 10” comes packaged in a triple gatefold sleeve, with artwork by Kode9’s long time collaborators Lawrence Lek & Optigram. Whereas the first release on the label, Mark Fisher and Justin Barton’s ‘On Vanishing Land’, wove an audio essay around a walk along t…
On Vanishing Land
*2025 stock* Hyperdub launch new sub-label, Flatlines, for the vinyl and digital release of On Vanishing Land, an audio-essay by Justin Barton and the late Mark Fisher. OVL evokes a walk along the Suffolk coastline in 2006, from Felixstowe container port ("a nerve ganglion of capitalism") to the Anglo-Saxon burial ground at Sutton Hoo. A walk under immense skies, through zones of deep time and within sunlit, liminal terrains, into the eerie.
Everywhere there are charged atmospheres, shadowy incu…
Panoptikon
Panoptikon is a suite of vocal & electronic music composed by Maria W Horn for an installation in the disbanded Vita Duvan panopticon prison (The White Dove Prison) in Luleå, Sweden. From the opening of Vita Duvan in 1856 until its closure in 1979, prisoners were detained for theft, perjury, drunkenness, domestic violence, and vagrancy. More than fifty women were charged with miscarriage & abortion (which was labeled as child murder); however, they did not spend much time at the prison before fa…
Turnar
Acclaimed Icelandic theremin musician Hekla returns with Turnar, her third album of devastatingly heavy, spectral soundscape-songwriting, entering a sublime paranormal plane of haunting dread. Now augmenting her virtuosic solo theremin work with cello, voice, and the sacred church organ of Icelandic master Kristján Hrannar, the evolution of Hekla’s unique magic summons new worlds with Turnar. The album was recorded partly in (and named after) a medieval castle tower in rural France, its ruinous …
Kroppskännedom
*100 copies limited edition* In his late forties, Andreas Malm is releasing his first solo album. So where has he been hiding all these years? In plain sight, it seems. The past few decades, he’s been a staple in the music scene of Malmö, Sweden. From the free-rock outbursts of Fria Konstellationen to the tapedrones of Amph, the synthscapes of Skeppet and probably best known, the minimalist rockquartet Eternal Music Society: it’s fair to say he’s been around. Just not all by himself. As Kroppskä…
We Saw Your Figure Cast Aside From Heaven, Falling Toward Us
*40 copies limited edition*
A wistful eye in blank space,Floated through a preposterous mess,The pupil succumbs to the darkened mirror,Asking for the angel's plea,Staring fixedly at dead screens inside an empty hall
Rex / Extremum
Rex / Extremum probably marks a new direction for the Swedish tape loop and synth trio Organ of Corti. The tension is still there but the sound is clearer, more separated and hi fi in the most lo fi sense. This is things falling apart, and for you deeply into bad vibes. Two tracks. The Mississippi river on the cover. Just can't go wrong.
Organ of Corti is Dan Johansson (Sewer Election), Mattias Gustafsson (Altar of Flies) and Joachim Nordwall (iDEAL). They have a common interest in repetition, h…
Snowblind
The intrepid composer and field recordist Jacob Kirkegaard is no stranger to perilous and hostile regions of the world. His 4 Rooms invoked the radioactive decay through the amplification of architectural resonance in Chernobyl, Ukraine; and he has ventured to the arctic environments of Greenland on a number of occasions to document that barren, icy territory. His recurrent use of shadow and mystery through his work both as metaphor and as extended sonic technique reflects the complex, existenti…
O Most Noble Greenness
"O Most Noble Greenness is a collaboration across centuries between Du.0 and Hildegard von Bingen, a German abbess and composer from 1100 A.D. Though separated from the composer by the remove of time, language, geography, and instrumentation, we nevertheless felt Hildegard’s presence as a living, breathing source of inspiration. Channeling Hildegard’s visceral embodiment of natural and mystical imagery, we deconstruct her song "Item de Virginibus" to uncover new sonorities and form. Throughout t…
Separate In Space
*100 copies limited edition* Dauw welcomes back the multidisciplinary artist Zander Raymond to the label with a reissue of his debut album ‘separate in space’. Previously only available on USB/digital, it's now presented in a remastered version for cassette tape alongside a risograph interpretation of the initial artwork.
“I’m listening to the album right now. Are you? If so, you’re likely awash in the humble glow of these tracks, which seem to wonder and wander in equal measure. Yet there are a…
Road Extends
Road Extents, the latest offering from Cadaver Eyes on Orthodox, is a bold and challenging release from the veteran duo of drummer/vocalist David Opp (Barbara, Carnation Dingthang, Heart & Crossbone Records) and no-input-mixer virtuoso Eran "Zax" Sachs (Dumitrescu's Hyperion Ensemble, Asher.Zax). Over the past two decades, Cadaver Eyes have been exploring the experimental terrains introduced by John Cage and Gordon Mumma, using unpredictable electronic systems to crack apart and access sheer cos…
Einschlagskrater
Split 7” by Norbert Möslang and Ralf Wehowsky on Meeuw Muzak!
Henry House
CD housed in 6 panel digisleeve. 12 pages booklet and Obi. Henry House is a recurring dream song. Combining closely tuned instruments and sinetones, tape-music editing techniques, field recordings, and voice, this eighty-minute, five-part song cycle is an evolutionary step away from the spontaneity of the free jazz/noise aesthetic usually found in the music of Nate Wooley. Henry House expands on the ecstatic, durational work found in Wooley’s Seven Storey Mountain, a six-part composition that ha…
Dissolution Seedlings
The members of House on Fire met Ben Richter in 2019 while we were all attending CalArts,and as our ambitions as a group grew, we wanted to work with someone who would engagethe latent, unexplored possibilities of our instrumentation. The piece sprawls - musically,temporally, physically. Each movement reconfigures the group around a spare set ofinstruments, in each permutation pulling out new composite sounds. Wells plays cello and bassmelodica simultaneously, Andrew tunes a C# drone, Richard pl…
