Gaute Granli + Contumace
Each year, cave12 publishes a recording from its sound archives. This album brings together two artists whose concerts took place a few months apart. This edition has chosen to juxtapose their performances which strangely respond to each other putting them into perspective as if by a mirroring effect activated by our memory.  Gaute Granli "Out there Norwegian guitarist-performer-singer, Gaute Granli, a true prodigy of (de)structured psychedelic song that we have been following since his beginnin…

... über Ursache und Wirkung der Meinungsverschiedenheiten beim Turmbau zu Babel
Mega tip! Even within the sprawling oeuvres of Sven-Åke Johansson and Alexander von Schlippenbach, both known for their innovative rethinking and broadening of artistic categories, the dramatic work "... über Ursache und Wirkung der Meinungsverschiedenheiten beim Turmbau zu Babel" ("... on cause and effect of the disagreements during the building of the Tower of Babel") remains a unique and rare enigma: What is it actually? Johansson has alternately called it a music drama, an opera, and a sings…
Slow Motion Summer
*120 copies limited edition.* A spell to slow down time, a drawing back of the veil between worlds, the way that a song also contains multitudes. Slow Motion Summer is a record fixated, both metaphorically and literally, on time. It draws on the way we experience time, weaving strands of recorded sound stretched and spun at a host of different speeds to both alter and extend our perception of the moment that's swirling around us. It's also a record obsessed with the secret world, with the infini…
T.O.
"Last time we heard the powerhouse duo of Chris Shields (Marcel du Swamp, Ro) and Alexander Holm (Sensorisk Verden label boss), they called an audience member during the show on a homemade telephone while shaking dice, giving each other unidentified signs and cues, and presenting their special flavor of musique concrete. Voice, tape, synth (?). Beautiful sound. New record is bonkers" - L. Dusk.
I want / I have to share my life with you

Abel/Kane
*200 copies limited edition* After having painted her own mythology out of antique myths and literature, Golem Mecanique began to work on biblical features. The vehicle is minimalist. The challenge, to go further with the instrument and the voice. For this album, Golem’s work focused in on a sound that enabled the abstract concept of Abel and Cain to become concrete, yet still built out of nothingness. Abel/Kane was composed as two acts of a march into a never-ending valley. Drone, voices, echoe…

Ne Lépj a Virágra
A year and a half has passed since Slovak-Hungarian artist Adela Mede self-released her debut album 'Szabadság'. Its liner notes described it as "a navigation", a search through "the personal, familial, cultural, folkloric and geographic of her past and present." Her second album, 'Ne Lépj a Virágra' no longer searches; here, she puts down roots and delves deeper into the earthy reality of her home, Central Europe. Mede sings in three languages with newfound conviction and grace – this is an alb…
Predictability Failure

His idea was to make of Tungu a project that would contain field recordings, cut ups, samples and live instruments. Four albums were recorded since then : "Dense arrays" 2014, "Ilf and Petrov with us" 2016, "Burst of exsessive …

Invisible Architecture

A Cappella
"Beginning in 2022, I started to process those layered, dense, dry, and beyond-words matters in the form of a voice diary. Gradually, I gathered a collection of 100 modulated voice recordings that were sealed on 50 cassette players. In June, these cassette players were set in my solo exhibition "100 Shits"(一百天的訴辯) staged at Hallucination in Kaohsiung. It allowed the audience to select how they would like the tapes to play. The exhibition also included a musical work entitled "A Cappella," which …
