Ashmadai
*2025 stock* "Two adepts of the sonic arts return with a morality play in four sides. Gone are the appeals to the winged serpent, the tree of life, or other past luminaries; these days they can be seen in consort with only one: Ashmadai. It is said that Ashmadai is not to be feared. When you say to it: 'In truth thou art Ashmadai,' it will give you a wonderful ring. It will teach you geometry, arithmetic, astronomy and mechanics. When questioned, it answers truthfully. Released on two twelve inc…
Dead-Loop
*2025 stock* Tim Barnes’ latest full-length: DE∆D-LOOP (AMI 038R/W), is his first solo release since 2002’s All Acoustics. DE∆D-LOOP offers another arm in Barnes’ wide-ranging body of music and work, as well as supplying an additional thread connecting the House, pop and sound art conversations the album engages. In many ways DE∆D-LOOP is House music that takes a sideways approach to the language of dance music. As both a concept and a practice, Barnes aims to turn House on its side, reconsideri…
You Think You Really Know Me
2024 repress! Gary Wilson's monumental 1977 LP reissued with the original cover art (care of Owen Maercks's well-loved copy), delicately laid out by Scott Allison. Which makes it, perhaps, the last copy you'll ever need. You Think You Really Know Me (also the title of Michael Wolk's 2005 documentary about Wilson) was Wilson's second LP, but the first he recorded as a vocalist, hewing to his own bizarre vision -- a syncretic collision of romance, new wave cocktail jazz, heartbreak, disco porn-sou…
Only Birds Know How to Call the Sun and They Do It Every Morning
Kaj Duncan David’s new album ‘Only Birds Know How to Call the Sun and They Do It Every Morning', made with the Danish contemporary ensemble Scenatet, is an extraordinary work of sui generis avant-garde electronic music, exploring the relationship between language and three interrelated themes; human development, altered states of consciousness and AI / machine learning. Employing voice (vocoder, talkbox), synth, EWI (electric wind instrument), MIDI guitar and MIDI percussion, ‘Only Birds Know Ho…
To Step Outside And Keep Walking
1994 release ** Packaged in oversize cardboard sleeve. A four-artist compilation of electronica experimentation, this album includes pieces by Randy Grief, Art Simon, Contact with a Curve and Jocelyn Robert.
La Vostra Ansia Di Orizzonte
2017 release ** "Salvo Lazzara and Stefano Giannotti, two artists at opposite ends of the spectrum, but with strong musical and literary interests in common, meet between writing and improvisation, electronic landscapes and acoustic creations. A series of out-of-form and unreassuring stories is born, poetic and sound experiments, almost micro-radio-dramas, between ambient and free jazz, singer-songwriter and cultured avant-garde."

Noise \ ... [Lärm]
2002 release ** "noise\ ... [lärm] consists of five performances from the avant-garde ensemble for compositions created by three Noise musicians: the legendary Masami Akita (who performs on his two compositions, "Crack Groove" & "Yahowa Stackridge"), the equally as legendary Zbigniew Karkowski (responsible for "Monochromy" & "White," the latter of which Karkowski remixes), & Dror Feiler (responsible for "L'extension du domaine de la lutte")."
Neural Frequencies
2007 release ** "Spectral modulations refer artificial synthesis of psychophysical filters, while electro hypnotic segmentations unclose multiple external stimuli of pauperized dimensions. The neural degree is shading the higher method of frequencies, but the turgescent preceptive instruments autoregulate the recognizable discomfort. The normalization method is already remitted to the infected acquisition: it's the lacerating beginning of the epileptic end, realized in the year 2005."
Guitarrhagia
2011 release ** Limited edition of 150 copies. "A tasteful masterpiece using only acoustic guitar!"
Japanese Avant-Garde
2002 release ** "Most music in Japan has little to recommend it; it is a sonic equivalent of those brutal concrete towers or the transitory chaos of multi-storey teen-fashion emporia in Aoyama. But a sonic underground thrives, creatively if not financially, and perhaps it should be compared with the shabby Golden-gai drinking dens of Shinjuku, faint reminders of a lost time when desire and transgression shared endless cups of sake with political and artistic radicalism... How is it possible to l…
The Bellow Switch
2009 release ** "'The Bellow Switch' features the remarkable sounds of Sarah Kenchington's mechanical instruments. All the instruments were played by Sarah, and the sounds were then recorded, edited and arranged by Daniel Padden (Volcano the Bear)."
untilted mini-CDr
2010 release ** “A very short album, only eight minutes, with a contained, almost contracted minimalism, this TNZR001 will pass like a comet in your CD player. Visible and audible from a distance only with the help of a telescope, suffused, slightly dissonant, rarefied between pauses, silences and microscopic buzzes, this work could satisfy fans of Bernhard Günter but also lovers of certain contemporary music for its leaps between synthetic dissonant chords and more relaxed concrete textures. It…
Space And Place
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…
Prequel Oct. 1998 - Mar. 1999 + 1
2008 release ** "This is the first album by Mitsuru Nasuno (Altered States, Fushitsusha, Ground Zero, Korekyojinn, etc.), the top bassist in Tokyo's most cutting-edge scene, also known as the groove master. As the title suggests, the recording took place between 1998 and 1999. Two of the tracks (the third and fourth) were already included in the 10-disc box set "Improvised Music from Japan." This work is the complete version, so to speak. This complete version, which has finally seen the light o…
A Pauper's Guide To John Cage
2011 release ** Packaged in oversize paper sleeve. "A Pauper's Guide to John Cage, on the budget Another Timbre Byways imprint, originally intended to feature lesser-known musicians. Across its 44 minutes, it features two compositions by Anett Németh played by the composer herself alone on a range of instruments and equipment. The album opens with the brilliantly-named title piece, which has an underlying drone/hum (maybe produced by "domestic electronics") over which Németh plays well-spaced pi…
