Four Guitars Live
As Bill Orcutt’s most mature and exhilarating LP to date, Music for Four Guitars was a slab of undeniable Apollonian beauty. Its approachability and obvious novelty landed it not only on the year- end lists of every key-pushing codger in the underground in 2022, but also on NPR in the form of the Bill Orcutt Guitar Quartet, an ensemble assembled to perform this music and featuring Wendy Eisenberg, Ava Mendoza, and Shane Parish. But while their Tiny Desk Concert gave a whiff of the quartet’s easy…
A Record of Living Beings
Audio-visual artist Raimund Wong (Floating World Pictures) and unboundaried composer Suren Seneviratne (My Panda Shall Fly / Soundway) present their debut album on London's ever experimental Kit Records. Interweaving folk, ambient and free improvisation, A Record of Living Beings playfully confronts traditional instrumentation (khæn, shakuhachi, voice, taishogoto, cello) with live tape processing and esoteric '90s software.
The Arolb ensemble began life as Raimund's freeform collaborative radio…
El retorn de l'escolta - A la memòria de Marianne Brull
This recording is the document of the concert that took place on March 15, 2023 at L’Auditori de Barcelona in Sala 04-Alicia de Larrocha.
It is therefore a document as faithful as possible to what happened that day when for the first time Doneda, Ninh and Andorrà were on stage.
Michel Doneda and Lê Quan Ninh, a stable duet for more than thirty years, have set up a space for joint creation based on a radical concept of listening that avoids any extramusical narrative to focus on the conformati…
Solid Layers, Deafening Shapes
2016 release ** "A solo percussion album from Francesco Gregoretti, employing traditional instruments and unusual object to create unique audio environment that use predictable rhythmic elements against capricious approaches, giving his playing a personal style fueled by resonance and natural feedback; an album that balances chaotic and structured environments in riveting ways."
Esperando a Florian
Swims presents the disruptive dream-team of Kit Records founder Richard Greenan, Buenos Aires based cello experimentalist Violeta Garcia, and South African violinist and composer Galina Juritz. "Esperando a Florian" is the result of Violeta's London residency in 2022. Recorded in one take, and with a simple setup of violin, cello, electric bass, and analogue synths; the music is a tender conversation between three voices, pushing and pulling at the edge of dialogue, hesitance and reflection. Rec…
Water Futures
About the album“Water Futures” refers to the buying and selling of stocks based on the speculation that potable water will soon become a scarce resource due to the accelerating climate crisis. The sonic content within the album aims to reinforce the existential discomfort that this is a potential reality.
About the soundsEach track on this album is achieved using combinations of reeds, straws, saxophones, saliva, water, and air in various proportions. No electronic effects were used in the makin…

Binus
In a collaboration lasting several days in Novi Sad, Belorukov & Zlanabitnig explored the acoustic and electronic sound combinations of their instruments as well as ambiental sounds and field recordings in the immediate surroundings of the city. This was not just a direct musical collaboration. Ilia and Sara integrated their sounds into the spaces in which they were played in, be it the studio_kuda.org, the museum acoustics or the Peace Chapel. The musicians developed different approaches throug…
Nyctalopia
The trio Gaudenz Badrutt (electronics), Jean-Luc Guionnet (alto saxophone) and Frantz Loriot (viola) met for the first time at the Biel/Bienne-based “Joyful Noise” encounters in December 2018. Very quickly, the three agreed on a formal and sonic understanding, giving the trio a distinctive sound, combining and interweaving different sonic aesthetics, from electroacoustic to acoustic improvised music.
In February 2020, the trio continued its musical journey for a residency at Instants Chavirés i…
Invincible Time
*100 copies limited edition* Quality label Raw Tonk Records never shies away from a challenge and this release is no exception. A gathering of three wilful musical characters in the beautiful resonance of the Oude Klooster chapel in Brecht (Belgium). Guitarists Luis Lopes (Portugal) and Dirk Serries (Belgium) and pianist Martina Verhoeven (Belgium), this time on the electric piano, creating a nightmare-ish live soundtrack to a fictional David Cronenberg movie. From a calm jazzy opener to dense…
Guo1
2017 release ** "GUO is the duo of guitarist and singer Daniel Blumberg (Hebronix, The Howling Hex) and saxophonist Seymour Wright. Both use heavy distortion and extreme amplification which is later processed and manipulated with metal cassettes to create a multi-layered, lacquered object of sinister, fizzing, metallic beauty. GUO1 with text by David Toop, was the beginning of an on-going series of releases that include etchings made by the duo and a piece of ekphrasis from a creative writer res…
June 26, June 27
*30 copies limited edition* This double disc project originated with Evan’s recordings, which comprise the first disc. Evan’s original recordings June 26, and June 27 were made at home in one take, an improvisation with feedback, instruments, and interior environment. The following disc “Ponder with Strong Hands” and “Silo No Jazz” include Evan’s original recordings re-amplified by John Collins McCormick.
"In service to the microphone in the room and the simultaneous ability to forget about the …
Deep Talk In A Shallow Creek
This recording was made June 3, 2023 near Kingston New York while standing in the Stony Kill. In part one, John and Evan improvise with and against each other and nature. The raging water is a dynamic barrier at once the audible center and distracting noise. Part two showcases audio’s ability to fool the senses, by slowing the playback speed we can challenge the figure/ground relationship.
"If there is a need for constant sound I like a creek. They are reliable, if rain-dependent. Of making soun…
Ella
With solid training as a classical musician, Sophie Agnel took a close interest in modern jazz before committing in the early Nineties to the shifting, deliciously uncertain ground of free improvisation, thanks to her fascination for the powers of expression displayed by a few great keyboard-heretics such as Keith Tippett, Fred Van Hove or Christine Wodrascka. She began reworking the prepared piano techniques imagined by John Cage and transformed her instrument into a sort of extended piano. Com…
2014-2019
Tip! Monkey Plot is the critically acclaimed trio of Christian Winther (guitars), Magnus Skavhaug Nergaard (bass) and Jan Martin Gismervik (drums) – all notable collaborators on the Norwegian experimental music scene. The band have released three studio albums (two of them on the notable Norwegian label Hubro), toured Europe, Japan and South America, and done collaborations with Swedish sound artist and poet Pär Thörn, Norwegian free jazz pioneer Frode Gjerstad and ECM/Sofa duo Vilde & Inga, amo…
Bye Bye Bird
"Nina Garcia has been actively moving the art of noise guitar into surprising and intriguing new spaces. She has been at it for some time now, a bit of a secret weapon all the while hiding in plain sight. As I listen to her music and ruminate upon seeing her perform it brings me to a realization which I have with very few musicians: the ego inherent in making art can be transcended through a purity of direct action. At least that’s the feeling I have when experiencing Nina’s music which comes a…
Edge Games
Although Berlin-based musical seekers Jules Reidy and Sam Dunscombe are friends who’ve worked together in numerous contexts over the last decade or so, Edge Games is their first, long overdue collaborative album. Over two expansive, mind-bending excursions the former’s microtonal guitar lines are woven into a gorgeously unstable mass of synthesis, field recordings, and clarinet produced by the latter, but it’s important to note that the recording process was deeply collaborative, with a rigorous…
