Fiat Lux
“Creative collaboration could lead to tension or disagreements, but here it’s all about freedom, joy, and acceptance. Deeply rooted in respect and love. And that radiates through the music. I lived the process, but I hope people will feel that vibe.”
— Robbie Kuster
Melos
Melos is an ongoing series of site-specific works for organ and electronics. By merging sampled organ tones with sustained chords, it creates evolving, immersive textures unique to each venue. Each piece explores and expands the organ’s expressive limits through electronic means.
Dragon's Return
LP with obi strip, incl. booklet. Australian composer Oren Ambarchi and Norwegian guitarist Fredrik Rasten present Dragon's Return, a compelling new score for Eduard Grecner's 1967 Slovak cult film of the same name. Released via Viernulvier Records, this collaboration emerged from a live performance at the Videodroom Festival during Film Fest Ghent in October 2024, where the musicians premiered their improvisational soundtrack alongside the restored black-and-white parable. What began as a singu…
Dimension Scrolling
"For his first Mondoj release, Finnish musician Olli Aarni journeys to the wide oblique, where shapes are implied by slants of light previously thought impossible, coming from sources dispersed and hidden. The paranoid eye turns them into phantasms: distant pop songs, fields of fair folk spinning vocoded fudge, an exquisite tasting menu, the shiny towers of an inflatable castle protruding from underground. Scientific inquiry reveals spoken word, diatonic harmony, wide stereo fields, spectral she…
Testing
AMM collaborates with Sachiko M on Testing (Matchless Recordings), documenting sessions between the British collective and the Japanese sound artist. The work explores intersections of improvised acoustic techniques and sine wave electronics, presenting careful negotiations between established experimental practices and minimalist electronic intervention.
Eikon
Two years following his work 'Monumento Fiume', Giovanni Lami returns to Kohlhaas with a new release, once again investigating the intricate relationships between memory, the sonic medium, and decay. 'Eikon' originates from a series of acoustic cello recordings, subsequently disassembled and transformed by Lami, resulting in a unique deconstructed and layered object, lying somewhere at the intersection of soundtrack, decomposed ambient and video game music, shaped through the use of samplers, a …
Melma_Mire n.1
*60 copies limited edition* Melma_Mire is Joe Rehmer’s solo project where he uses field recordings and samples recorded on, and manipulates through 1/8” magnetic tape via cassette tape loops. Performed with a 4 track tape recorder and various Walkmans, they are layered with live electric bass to create hypnotic drone music, strange atmospheric moods and complex, mysterious soundscapes.
Fried Brains
"The trio Rapid Zen creates a dynamic blend of really unique music by fusing rhythmic patterns with audio experiments. They achieve this by combining a layer of turntable sampling and scratching that provides a distinctive and varied sound interacting with a broad palette of different techniques on double bass, percussion, and voice. Fried Brains is the first release of the project." - Vito Camarretta
''Don’t hold your breath in anticipation of instant karma or rapid enlightenment, but with such…
Edge Runner - Noema
Giovanni Di Domenico as a master of his instruments produces bulky sound rugged and dark atmospheres but also plainly beautiful through stark contrasts. Improvisation is therefore more as a state than an outline or shape, the timbre is the actual carrier of the form, drone is the crucial element. Edge Runner is sophisticated, refined even, balanced despite its obvious unwillingness to compromise, carefully crafted regardless of the mad surface structure. Noema consists of a live recording of an …
The Heart Of A Whale
Paul Wallfisch has played in bands like Firewater and Little Annie, while Dana Schechter has logged time with American Music Club, Angels of Light and her own Insect Ark, among others. They’ve been friends since meeting in New York in the 1990s. Years later they forged a stronger connection as bandmates in Botanica and palying with Swans. Over the years Paul Wallfisch has been a prolific composer for film and TV, including Dummy, with Adrien Brody and Milla Jovovich (which the musician also appe…
Rules For Living
CD3 transform familiar sounds into primordial folk art with Rules For Living. The duo's melted reconfiguration of popular styles creates mysteriously ahistorical music - ancient yet pertinent, stripped to skeletal essence.
Papotier
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.
Encerclements
*2025 stock* "Bertrand Gauguet's "Encerclements" is a profound sonic meditation on the interplay of sound, space, and abstraction. Encircling the listener with a delicate, almost hypnotic web of frequencies, the album merges ambient minimalism with glitch and noise, creating a kind of auditory labyrinth. (…) Perhaps it’s fitting that Gauguet embraces such a stripped-down approach. The album doesn’t demand attention; it slowly captivates, much like a distant memory trying to find its way back int…
Delightfully Deceitful
"A note, a sound, an air, you can write them down and then leave them to be read or played; but you can also write nothing, just sit down, play your note, watch it flow and expand, add another to it and then another, and on and on. There may also be two of you: the second sits down, plays a note, watches it flow, adds another to it, and watches it drift and blend with the others. And then there can be three; the third arrives, sits down, plays a note, adds another, and another, and watches them …
