Felicity Mangan's debut vinyl String Figures and label founder Colin Andrew Sheffield's latest opus Serenade represent the full spectrum of electroacoustic innovation—from quasi-bioacoustic environmental hybrids to plunderphonic archaeological excavations.

Super Limited edition. Housed in heavy gauge single sleeve with insert on transparent aqua marine vinyl. The legendary Nurse With Wound, helmed by the visionary Steven Stapleton, returns with Living Oysters, a mesmerizing collaboration with Irish experimental musician Diarmuid Mac Diarmada. This limited edition vinyl release presents a heady freerange mix of krautrock, experimental and toe tapping psychedelia, leaning towards a slightly more rock orientated sound that pushes the project into exc…
2000 release ** Limited edition of 500 hand numbered copies. Packaged in mini-LP sleeve. "In all six tracks of this CD, Murayama uses a cymbal, a snare drum and small objects (as well as his voice on track 6). Four of the pieces (2-5), recorded in Tokyo, were composed by Murayama based on collaborations with Soundworm (Shoji). Several clusters of two or three mikes were deployed in different areas of the studio, with one of the mikes of one cluster placed outdoors. (In addition, there were two c…
On October 30, 2021, Brainwave Music No. III was recorded live as part of a series of ten groundbreaking Brain Wave sound installation performances by Ilpo Väisänen and Dirk Dresselhaus (die Angel). The event took place in the evocative setting of the Life on a Leaf House in Turku, Finland.
At the core of this performance was an interactive system driven by brainwave interfaces. Harnessing the performers’ neural activity, the system enabled Väisänen and Dresselhaus to directly process and shap…
The perfect marriage between psychedelia, pop and experimental sounds.
This unique album by Bill Holt, first released in 1974, sounded way ahead of its time and became an international cult classic in the following decades.
A perfect example of what it was called “Head Music” at the time, Dreamies consists of two large suits full of Lennon-esque vocals, sound collages, early electronics and proto-sampling.
Glasgow-based Effective Dreaming—the solo project of Scottish artist and musician Iain Ross—unveils Dream Catalogue Vol. 1, arriving June 21st, 2025 (Summer Solstice) via Swedish experimental label Fluere Tapes.
Issued as a limited run of 50 cassettes, each adorned with hand-worked, corroded copper sheet inserts and labels, Dream Catalogue Vol. 1 feels less like a release and more like an unearthed artefact: weathered, humming, quietly alive. The materials echo the music’s exploration of fragile…
This collaboration between Colombian Drone Mafia and Gibrana Cervantes is the beginning and end of a fragile geography, like the magic and mafia of our platanal, a bridge between the Americas. CDM is the new alias of Nyksan, Bogota-born DJ, sound artist and co-founder of TraTraTrax. Here, he joins forces with Mexican composer and violinist Gibrana Cervantes, one of the most outstanding string voices sounding across the most vital electronic and avant-garde music scenes of recent years. Together,…
ARBORE is the collaborative project of French-born, Berlin-based artists Diane Barbé and Laure Boer, navigating the wide spectrum of electroacoustics, instrument building and radical improvisation. "Genuinely loose-limbed and exquisitely zonked, Diane Barbé and Laure Boer's ARBORE debut marries electroacoustic sound design to basement psych-folk, where homemade Vietnamese zither, flutes and whistles float around gloopy analog synths like some lost Nate Young plays Folkways record, or the deepest…
"As a concoction of whirring, electronics-strewn field recordings, this over fifty minute piece is intoxicating in its intimacy, like drifting half asleep through various conversations, rituals, prayers. As a piece which considers the “complex entanglements of migrant stories, memory, identity, otherness”, it feels urgently, cacophonously important, a sonic insight into our shared humanity" — Spenser Tomson In this project, Paul and Masimba capture almost five years of conversation as they stood…
Gryphon Rue returns to Soap Library with Playing the Beetles, a sonic adaptation of a performance of the same name with Ka Baird and Qasim Naqvi at Roulette Intermedium in November 2023.
Through a color-mapping system that matches non-toxic paint on the beetle shells to clothing worn by the performers, the highly experimental piece musically interprets the behavior of live beetles (the bugs, not the band.) Under the watchful eye of a live camera feed connected to software, beetles explore their…

2007 release (RARE) ** "The trio's first collective improvisation on Alexandre Pasquino's film "Walkin' LA" at Ramuntcho Matta's. The vibe is right, the playing is there, the atmosphere relaxed. Recordings of improvisation sessions with Simon's visits to Paris as an excuse. Making music for the pleasure of drifting on the edge of styles and forms. All recordings come from acoustic and electro-acoustic instruments (guitar, bass, sax, flute, spoon, vocals, traditional instruments, etc.). The group…
2005 release ** "Here we are, grappling with the twin-needle turntable, the forced-groove vinyl, the ambient feedback, and everything else. The tracks reproduced and mistreated in the eleven excruciating episodes of the mini are this time by AMK. It's only right to recommend the album to fans of the most stripped-down and minimal dark ambient music."
