Sur Les Bords
*300 copies limited edition* Dominique Grimaud, a historical figure in French musical avant-garde, is known as a founding member of Camizole and Video Aventures, two groups that profoundly shaped the underground scene of the 1970s in France. Camizole, formed in 1970 in the wake of the May ’68 protests, stood out for its improvised performances and happenings, inspired by the Living Theatre and characterized by radical expressive freedom and a rejection of commercial musical conventions. The grou…
Dis Qu't'as Tort
*300 copies limited edition* "Dis qu’t’as tort" is the latest venture from Tagubu (Denis Tagu, formerly of Hellebore, Look De Bouk, and Toupidek Limonade), realised in collaboration with Klimperei (Christophe Petchanatz, known for his work with Pierre Bastien, David Fenech, and Palo Alto, among others).

Everyday Infrasound In An Uncertain World
*300 copies limited edition* Even though you can’t hear it, infrasound fills the air. And because the atmosphere doesn’t absorb it like regular sound, infrasound comes from hundreds, if not thousands, of miles away. If humans could perceive frequencies lower than 20 Hz, then changing ocean currents, wildfires, turbines, receding glaciers, industrial HVACs, superstorms, and other geophysical and anthropogenic sources from across the planet would be part of the quotidian soundscape of our lives, w…
Rumanikos, Kokin, Mixolydian, Kourd Atar, Pigmy, Slendro
In a sonic dialogue that balances delicacy and depth, Clinton Green and Barnaby Oliver explore the shifting textures of acoustics and resonance. Employing bowed aluminum bowls, strings, and a grand piano, their work unfolds in patient layers that probe the very essence of sound and its environment, evoking an atmosphere of quiet tension and subtle transformation.
Blindfold test
Movement, unpredictability and found sound take center stage as Clinton Green and Ernie Althoff bring together turntable constructions and hand-built kinetic instruments. Their joint work finds a magnetic middle ground between gentle percussive chaos and immersive, floating textures—highlighting the overlapping of machine logic and human touch.
Stable Processes with Slow Ornaments
Theo Alexander’s Stable Processes with Slow Ornaments, released by Flung Records in 2025, is a 36-minute single-movement work for viola, bass clarinet, and eight tape players. The composition fuses acoustic and electronic textures, unspooling as a patient meditation on resonance, memory, and the slow shifts of sound in space.
La Munglesa
*70 copies limited edition* In the mid-1960s, Teresa Viarengo, one of the most vivid memories of Piedmontese folk repertoire, confided this song among many others to Franco Coggiola and Roberto Leydi. The ballad is also mentioned under the title “Un'Eroina nei Canti popolari del Piemonte” (A Heroine in the Folk Songs of Piedmont) by Costantino Nigra. It is a bloody story in which a count marries Munglesa, the daughter of a baker, takes her to his castle and, along the way, confesses that he has …

*80 copies limited edition* Music by Zarabatana (Bernardo Álvares, Carlos Godinho, Norberto Lobo and Yaw Tembe), Orca, Chica, P. Feijó, Daniela Rodrigues and Julián Pacomio. Mixed by Mestre André. Mastered by Giuseppe Ielasi.
Mantra
2014 release ** "Composed in 1970, Mantra, for two pianos and ring modulation, was one of the decisive turning points in Karlheinz Stockhausen’s career. The 70-minute piece not only signalled a break with the text-based intuitive works, relying heavily on improvisation, that had come to dominate his output towards the end of the previous decade and a return to fully notated scores, but also introduced the idea of melodic formulae, the “mantra” of the title, which Stockhausen would eventually dev…

Sans Loup
Ambroos De Schepper and Pepijn Gyssels became roommates when PiP first moved to Brussels in 2021. Both paid close attention to each other’s musical approach and interests. One year later, Ambroos moved out. When he swung by to pick up some boxes, they decided to record something for the fun of it. Between May '23 and November '24 they continued experimenting with textures and improvisations. This collaboration has become the deepening of a friendship and a way to maintain it at the same time.

Viptronic
*2025 stock. 300 copies limited edition* Salo Ra II is a new duo of Topias Tiheäsalo and Jussi Lehtisalo. Taking inspiration from the old vacuum tube televisions and the decayed industrial landscape of the city of Salo, the duo’s debut LP Viptronic creates a beautiful and an intuititive balance of seemingly incongruous sounds: overdriven zither-noise and unearthly electronic basso continuo blend touchingly with the resonances of electric guitar’s open tunings. Dedicated to whoever who has ever b…

Drawing upon an eclectic range of influences, Construction of a Planet is not merely an album—it is an immersive experience. Across its evolving structures, listeners are invited …
Fumarola
For the third time, they had been sent to this forsaken land. It was neither east nor west, neither north nor south. They said it had once been a kingdom, somewhere in the heart of the old continent, something they had pieced together from the ruins scattered across jagged hills sprouting here and there from the ground. Everyone else went islands, dived to the seabed, drilled at the poles, and explored waste in the east, but these two were sent here again, as if someone were trying to get rid of…
Fudo
Introducing "Fudo," the acclaimed album by the avant-garde duo Mapa, now available in a specially remastered vinyl edition. "Fudo" stands as a pivotal work in the landscape of experimental electronic music, blending elements of punk energy, jazz improvisation, and electro-acoustic soundscapes to create a deeply evocative sonic journey.
Originally released to instant underground acclaim, "Fudo" is the fruit of the creative partnership between Paul Wirkus and Marcin Dymiter. The album delivers a d…
rely
Here is 'rely', a new album by Eric Wong & yan jun. They use voice, breath, sine tones and noise. For those of you who have attended one of their performances, or heard 'dichotomic language' the sounds may appear familiar, but to me the space and interplay between them on 'rely' feels very different. In March and April of this year I saw yan jun perform three times, for the first time, and it has changed how I hear the record. I was initially struck by how close everything sounded, and now I hav…
Engine Songs
'Engine Songs' is the latest album of improvisations by the duo of Tara Cunningham & Caius Williams, after the release of 'Demo's' in 2022. The album is rich with the harmonics and fluttering oscillations of detuned strings, layered over sprawling textural effects that poke out at moments and shift focus in an instant. They're able to move between tones and dynamics in a way I'd quite happily listen to endlessly - It's exciting to listen to. The album was recorded and mixed by Caius Williams and…
Prynhawn Da!
Artist, composer and researcher Max Syedtollan arrives on bison with 34 minutes of merrie-making madness, written for a parade-performance by basketmaker Lewis Prosser and informed by the tradition of masked mummer’s theatre. Written to be blasted off the back of a lorry, ‘Prynhawn Da!’ accompanied a troupe of huge wicker figures - Parsnabler o Grog, Vogum Gertlin, The Woman with The Big Head and Goyle Cornett - as they paraded down the streets of Newtown, Swansea, Cardiff and Caernarfon as part…
Vox Flora, Vox Fauna
“Vox Flora Vox Fauna” is an invocation in which Ece Canli channels the voice of Earth itself. A ritual of breath, rebirth, bone, and buried memory. Like the most transcendent moments of Dead Can Dance, the soundscapes are primitive, tribal, atmospheric, and utterly cathartic: echoes of a wounded planet, mourning and resisting at once. They unleash the raw force of Gaia, vibrating through ancient rhythms and spectral chants that seem to rise from the soil itself. In an age of collapse, this is mu…
