Forgetting You is Like Breathing Water
2026 stock Forgetting You Is Like Breathing Water, the self-titled debut from the duo of trumpeter Will Evans and guitarist, synthesist, producer and multi-instrumentalist Theo Trump, arrives like a vault revelation. It feels like a decades-old yet newly unearthed masterwork of gorgeous ambient improvisation, the sort of thing scholars live to research and shepherd into deluxe reissue.
The patient, crystalline chords that swell and resonate like a series of confessions; the textured brass murmur…
Minutiae
Minutiae is the first full-length release form Stockholm’s Ināra Quartet, made up of brothers Kasper (guitar, banjo, mandolin) and Mauritz Agnas (bass, cello), Johan Graden (piano, harmonium, synths) and Mischa Grind (percussion). Drawing on wide performance and composition experience in free improvisation, jazz, and composed new music, the quartet have carved out a unique niche where radical approaches to rhythmic organisation and group interaction are wedded to immediately accessible, folkish …
A Cold Night in Rome
On A Cold Night in Rome, Gregorio Bardini turns a 2007 Cold Spring event into a ritual of noise, flute, voice and historical residue. Ezra Pound’s metallic ghost, bagpipes, violin, distorted guitar and ethnic percussion converge in a live document that feels both industrial and archaic - a harsh, deeply human soundscape outside category.
Nouvelles Ethnologiques de l’Obscur Museum
On Nouvelles Ethnologiques de l’Obscur Museum, NEO Museum forge a fierce, finely cut collision of free jazz, radical rock and European avant-garde composition. Born in mid-80s Vandœuvre-lès-Nancy, the trio turns saxophone, guitar and drums into a compact laboratory of fractured forms, bristling improvisation and volatile collective invention.
Existence
Guitar solos by Shin'ichi Isohata and six duets with Otomo Yoshihide, electric and acoustic, 24 tracks recorded in Osaka in early 2013. Jigen Production.
Fallstudien
Percussionists Burkhard Beins and Sven-Åke Johansson with harpist Rhodri Davies, recorded at Sowieso in Berlin in 2013 and 2015: acoustic sounds that come close to electronics, plus a harp solo by Davies.
Frost
Berlin trio improvisation recorded in June 2015 by Liz Allbee on trumpet and seashell, Annette Krebs on electric guitar and electronics and Sven-Åke Johansson on percussion, with notes by Thomas Millroth.
Nubes
The Finnish-Norwegian trio of Olavi Louhivuori, Eivind Lønning and Kim Myhr make their debut with Nubes, released by We Jazz Records on September 25. Recorded at We Jazz Festival in Helsinki in 2021, the album’s organic flow moves beyond genre, building a sound world that gains intensity slowly and surely as the piece progresses. The music of the trio, documented when joining forces here for the first time, sounds unified, confident and searching, taking the listener to places far from the obvio…
Live in Italy
Jonah Parzen-Johnson & Lau Nau return with a double CD edition on We Jazz Records bringing together their 2025 debut duo release A Few We Remember first time on CD, plus a live recording from the album release tour recorded in Bolzano, Italy, in April 2026. In April of 2026, Lau Nau (Laura Naukkarinen) and Jonah Parzen-Johnson crossed into Italy separately and made their way by train to meet in Bolzano for their first tour together. There was a bit of the energy of the first day of school. Nervo…
Explain Yourselves
IVM Trio is made up of percussionist & composer Sébastien Forrester, producer & visual artist Mika Oki, and artist & producer Apulati Bien. All three sit within the French-Brussels axis, united by a shared love of free improvisation, sparse atmospherics and rapturous club mutations. Explain Yourselves is a genuinely exploratory record — abstraction and contemplation sit side by side, as the trio dives into the micro-precision of computer music while mirroring organic, environmental schemes. Thes…
Derma
*150 copies limited edition* Derma emerges from my dialogue with music, space, and silence. It is an immersive sonic experience where every gesture is guided by the here and now—by raw emotion, sensory perception, and the act of creation itself.
Through the use of extended techniques, the performance evolves into a unique, unpredictable path where distinct soundscapes merge into a deep, continuous flow. The core of the sound lies in the tactile relationship between the drum skin and the objects …
Can I Stare at You Publicly?
*300 copies limited edition* Berlin-based percussionist and vocalist Teresa Riemann presents Can I stare at you publicly?, a new collection of solo works for percussion and voice. The pieces are meticulously composed, while their origins lie in improvisation, and improvisation remains part of the way Riemann performs them. The compositions stay open, allowing her to interpret them differently each time and keeping the music in a state of movement rather than fixing it into a final form.
On “The …
Atropa
*2026 stock. 100 copies limited edition* "Bill Harris is a community builder first and foremost. As one of the founders of the Amalgam collective, he has helped to keep Chicago’s storied improvised music scene together through the dark ages of the 2020s. Additionally, his studio space Marmalade has hosted performances from some of the most boundary-pushing voices of contemporary experimental music - artists such as Charmaine Lee, Brandon Lopez, Sandy Ewen and more - during a time in which such s…
Baby Ghost
»Baby Ghost« is the debut album by double bassist and vocalist Jordan Sand. Released through Hallow Ground, it blurs the lines between different genres and modes of expressions, improvisation and composition and showcases the unique playing style the composer has developed. Sand blends her voice with the bowed harmonics and subharmonics of her double bass. At once conceptually rigorous and musically open-ended, Sand’s wordless meditations on death and what comes after are both visceral and explo…
The Sentence
*2026 stock* Zach Cooper weaves recordings with the Vermont Contemporary Music Ensemble, high school demos, solo compositions and eraserhead-less tape experiments into the shining fabric of The Sentence. A debut album brimming with many talents and tales, The Sentence is atemporal, a divining of Cooper’s personal history to map his musical travels through formative years in New York state, his studies and collaborations within the University of Vermont’s music theory and composition department, …
Zeldzame Mensen
Insane," or in French, "un truc de malade": expressions often used to describe a strange work of art, a daring piece of architecture, or an experimental piece of music. It’s a comment that should be taken figuratively: not necessarily pejorative, and most often even positive. In contrast, the music of this album reflects a "sick" theme in the true sense of the word, as the two protagonists chose to resume their twenty-year collaboration in the antechamber of a hematologist's office.
The album’s …
Lynboril Lisinopril
For a while the trio just called itself "Me, you and Sue", which suited them - none of the three has ever seemed especially concerned with naming things. Adam Bohman, Sue Lynch and Crystabel Efemena Riley found each other through London's Horse Improvised Music Club and have been playing together in various rooms for years. This is their first record as a three, and it needed a real title. Lynboril Lisinopril takes Lyn(ch), Bo(hman) and Ril(ey), puts the invented word into a search engine and ke…
Midlife Crisis Ambient Moniker
*40 copies limited edition* "Midlife Crisis Ambient Moniker" is a Personal Greatest Hits. A Selected Ambient Works Volume 1. Lost Episodes. Archival Deep Dive. Bastard tracks with no home nor family, but with proximity to one another. Unreleased recordings dating as far back as 2014, with source material as old as 2004. There’s even a few songs that once saw the light of day, but never got their time in the sun (“Drain, When It Hit Me,” excerpts from “Earth Day…”). Many of these recordings were …
Fuzzy Logic
German guitarist Olaf Rupp combines elements of traditional flamenco (rasgueados, arpeggios, picados) with the fractured cadences of Derek Bailey, fusing them together with a blast-furnace tone recalling John Lee Hooker's most blown-out extremes. And yet, despite decades of concerts and releases on FMP and Emanem, often with marquee-grabbing collaborators like John Zorn, Peter Brötzmann, Butch Morris, Paul Lovens and Lol Coxhill, Rupp's music is largely unknown outside of European free improvisa…
Oresme
*300 copies limited edition* Percussionists Mika Kallio and Janne Tuomi have each spent decades at the edges of Finnish improvised music. Oresme, their debut duo on Mustik Motel, takes its name from the 14th-century philosopher who argued that all perceived motion depends entirely on where you stand. Nine tracks navigate that same double territory: outward into astronomical scale and inward toward something quieter and untranslated. Two percussion setups, one vibraphone, and a great deal of room…
