After the rain
*100 copies limited edition* Compositions for imaginary landscapes. Revisiting landscapes through music. The concept of landscape is a personal subjective case for each of us, as it exists from the moment a sensory frame is first observed and created through our gaze. The connection with a landscape is directly related to its sound environment, either from sounds that naturally pre-exist in it, or from sound interventions or music that enters it, creating a dynamic relationship. However, the way…
Testament
CD digipack. Fire! have always been about finding the essence by getting to the core of the music. Their 8th album sees the trio - for the first time on record - stripped down to the bare-bones essentials; with no flutes, no electronics, no guests and no extras, recorded live in the studio to analogue tape - the Steve Albini way - with the master himself at the controls in Electrical Audio in Chicago. Thus, this album stands as a true testament to the group´s expressive power and glowing intimac…
Socha
Czarnoziem is a band created by Dawid Dąbrowski (modular synthesizer) and Michał Giżycki (bass clarinet, saxophones). The duo boldly creates its own independent language, using the possibilities of a wide spectrum of genres - from experimental electronics, improvised music to echoes of free jazz and contemporary electroacoustic music. Czarnoziem's sound became more precise during an intensive process of rehearsals, sessions and concerts, it became expressive and texturally transparent: from stil…
Idiots
Last copies...** Heavyweight high-gloss embossed jackets with metallic Pantone. Each LP housed in polyethylene acid-free paper backed sleeves within consistently designed 12" sleeves for each record ** Adding to its already extensive discography, The Hafler Trio (now just solo) enlisted the help of Wire's Bruce Gilbert for their latest, Idiots. Grim and far reaching, this 2XLP moves at its own pace and draws the listener in with its slow, dark amble. Channeling both the natural and industrial wo…
Samling
Originally compiled as a two cassette release by Archivio Diafònico in 2016, now reissued as a double CD for optimum playback at your next MRI scan. Samling documents the earlier, "noisier" years of Arv & Miljö, collecting all compilation appearances from the project's inception in 2010 up to 2015. The project has since moved to a more ambient sound, having recently completed a stunning tetralogy of seasonal themed LPs (Svensk Sommar I Stilla Frid, 2018; Himmelsvind, 2020; Ensam Är Nattens Rymd …

Once you'll touch the sky you will never return to dust’ is the fifth studio album by Roberto Opalio, “the more sinister half of My Cat Is An Alien” according to Byron Coley.
Your Music Encountered in a Dream
Remember hearing music while dreaming, fully confident that you’ll be able to reconstruct it once awake? Music that, as it turns out, you were the sole witness. In retrospect, why ruin the experience by something so vulgar as hearing it a second time, much less having to share it? We don’t mean to alarm you, but David Grubbs and Liam Keenan have returned from the dark side of the pillow bearing Your Music Encountered in a Dream.
Eventual
'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 proposed to involve Gonçalo Almeida. Reitsma agreed and visited…
Without Persistent Environments
Realized in collaboration with Riley Leitch, this album is inspired by the listening interactions of chamber music, the immersive potentials of drone music, psychoacoustic phenomena, rational intonation, field recordings, and experiences of deep sound in deep time.
Illuminations
*Limited Edition CD in Digipack with Liner Notes.* "The Illuminations are a collection of solo and chamber works with a shared compositional language, written between 2016 and 2021. The pieces are composed as software scores, which build the musical work in real-time during each performance. Notes are introduced to the players on animated staves, slowly fading into view and then away again. Using opacity as dynamic, the musicians perform the animated staves as slow loops, with motives and contra…

BO
*120 copies limited edition.* "I'm on a jet ski. The river I'm on is dirty. Not like it was clean before, but there was some rain up north and now the mud got in the stream. Bunch of birds are hanging out on the piece of driftwood. The splash of dirty water from jet ski disturbs them from their limbo. They fly away, they squeal with displeasure. This river is all mine. Rain starts pouring. Jet ski is on full speed now, spitting the brown mud water out. Sound of a collapsing engine brings the jet…
Decomposition Study
Decomposition Study is a collaborative process. The instrument featured here is an arciorgano, a special microtonal organo di legno with two manually operated bellows and 36-key octaves across two manuals, constructed according to Nicola Vicentino’s designs from 1555. The notes of the music, written according to the rules of canonic contrapunto alla mente, are passed between two organists while four other musicians disrupt and amplify the organ’s airflow, acting similarly to cellular enzymes in …
Altars
*2023 stock*
A cycle of primitive and ethereal.Building monoliths as Altars. A Hearth.The main centre of these pieces are weathered landscapes, crumbling rocks, erosion eating away at stones, chaos of overgrowth, the deep time of constant crumbling and occlusion. Passage of storms, rebuilding of momentum, weathered souls.A cyclical altar, an eroded homecoming.A lyrical desolation.
From the artist:
"The narrative of the entire record is loosely based on the concept of deep time, a temporal scale …

Inauspicious
*200 copies limited edition* In a recent interview, the california artist Jim Haynes was asked to name his top five noise albums. In quick fashion, he listed Off Kill the King, Send, Desnos, Persona, and Carcinosi. Since then, he's equivocated on which albums to choose, but the artists behind such works remain as the adjacent signposts and landmarks to his own constructions of industrial noise. How those records connect to the output from haynes is found in their unique combination of smoldering…
India Vibrations (Revisited)
Tomáš Niesner has been making a name for himself in recent years by way of his solo ambient/drone excursions and the intricate melodicism of his collaborations with Jakub Šimanský. But it was “India Vibrations,” a digital self-release of lo-fi manipulated field recordings captured during a trip across North India, that really caught my ear: the cacophony of street festivals juxtaposed with the solemnity of houses of worship, all recorded on an “obsolete cellphone” and then looped and layered, ab…
