*2026 stock* 2 years after their debut album on Utech Records, P/O Massacre goes deeper in their immersive noise experimentation in this collaboration album with Alex Buess, and Merzbow (Masami Akita). An architecture of distortion, Moog processors, spring reverb, drone effects and more, then developed in different directions by two electronic/noise veterans. It’s a journey of pure sensation, destruction, and rebirth. A skull-vibrating sound decomposition to your face. For this very reason of se…

*2026 stock. 125 copies limited edition* Witness Wounds is where four singular musical voices collide to create something raw, unpredictable and deeply immersive. Formed by the meeting of two duos from distinct artistic worlds, the project blurs the lines between noise, free improvisation, performance and experimental music, resulting in a sound that is both visceral and meticulously crafted. On one side, Tomorrow I Feel Wrong unites Sara Trawöger and Kristin Gerwien, long-time collaborators kno…

*2026 stock. 100 copies limited edition* "The resulting music is an unearthly ever-shifting roar, sometimes identifiable as the product of guitar and saxophone but just as often not. Obrazeena’s guitar frequently starts out as an almost country-tinged drone, not unlike Earth’s “Hex; Or Printing In The Infernal Method” before turning into a downtuned wall of thick, syrupy distortion you can almost touch. Ponomarev’s sax screeches and bellows, and his electronics create a dense pulse, with needle-…

*2026 stock* A new P/O Massacre release - the duo of saxophonist Anton Ponomarev and guitarist Anton Obrazeena - is always an exciting proposition. "Sonic Oblivion” is an extension of sorts to the 2023 album "Aural Corrosion” featuring Merzbow and Alex Buess. Based on materials from the same recording session as its predecessor, "Sonic Oblivion" has a different impact. This nearly two-hour-long album features knife-sharp and grave-deep guitar noises by Obrazeena, apocalyptic electronics and shri…

*2026 stock. 100 copies limited edition* This unique split brings together two projects. Teufelskeller, with their intense and energetic free grindcore/jazz/noise, delivers a raw and devastating performance. Formed in Moscow, the trio is known for their wild improvisations and physical approach to sound. Their debut album was released on the WV Sorcerer Productions label. Toru is a trio based between Lyon, Nice, and Marseille, blending experimental metal, noise, and electroacoustic music with di…

On geschrieben in wasser., Klaus Lang pares the piano quartet down to a faintly breathing organism, letting soft, slowly shifting harmonies hover at the edge of audibility like something written on water just before it disappears.

On For a Lemon Tree, Kristofer Svensson, Maya Bennardo and Erik Blennow Calälv cultivate a fragile, glowing sound‑world where violin, bass clarinet and kacapi trace slow, intertwined lines, turning silence, breath and overtone into their primary compositional materials.

On his Clarinet Quintet, Jürg Frey stretches time until it feels almost weightless, using soft clarinet breaths and hushed strings to trace a slow, luminous drift where tiny inflections become whole landscapes of feeling.

On Flare, Sylvia Lim turns six chamber works into a series of luminous close‑ups, magnifying tiny shifts of timbre, breath and touch until fragile sounds bloom into something cathartic, raw and quietly destabilising.

On Tending, James Creed threads four ensemble works through a shared practice of careful, collective attention, letting sparse parts, quiet doublings and gently unstable textures accumulate into music that feels like weather slowly forming in the air around you.

*50 copies limited edition* Listening to Koude's self-titled debut album can feel like floating in still dark water or like crawling slowly through a moonlit forest. It could be any other lonesome surrounding really, a place where it's just you and your body, some senses numbed, other senses heightened. All the while, something undefined seems to be hiding in the dark; something bad or something good. The subdued music of Koude draws from meandering folk, ambient, slowcore and drone, folding the…

On Revolutionary Pekinese Opera, Ground Zero - under the ferociously precise direction of Otomo Yoshihide - detonates a cut‑and‑splice orchestra where free improv, noise, opera and plunderphonics collide with undimmed urgency.

*2026 stock* "Emerging from the vibrant atmosphere of a Parisian summer during the 2024 Olympics, this eclectic ensemble came together spontaneously after a serendipitous home jam session on August 15. Featuring the diverse talents of Liza Parshina, Nikita Chepurnoy, Alisa Gvozdeva, and Anton Glebov, their debut album is a captivating blend of free jazz, folk traditions, and dub influences. With an array of instruments from various cultures, their sound is both intricate and improvisational, ref…

'Weather Eye' marks the first recorded collaboration between Italian guitarist Francesca Naibo and American cellist Theresa Wong. This collection of improvisations reveals a dialogue of care as the duo uncovers delicate and unexpected sonorities of the electric guitar, cello and two voices. Francesca Naibo is an Italian guitarist who moves fluently across all the different conjugations of the guitar, from the classic, the electric, to the fretless and the pedal steel. Involved in the research fo…

Tip! You’re approaching the region where gravity feels tampered with; “Dreaming With The Lights On” is to drift into a zone where bodies and objects appear to have slipped into a dream’s editing room and reassembled themselves according to priorities still unfamiliar. The music begins long before the sound does—inside a suspended brightness, a sky that hums with the possibility of transformation. The listener’s mind becomes a surface onto which impossible gestures imprint themselves: limbs blend…

Syrena:re is a concept programme by Ania Karpowicz and Dominik Strycharski for two flutists and tape. It reinvents and recycles musical motifs released on vinyl by the iconic Syrena Rekord label in pre-war Warsaw. The tape features poignant voices of synagogue cantors, fragments of popular songs, and blended sounds of the Shmul Weinberg orchestra. By using extended techniques and a variety of flutes representing diverse timbres, the artists combine the work of memory with unconstrained improvisa…

Legendary saxophonist Don Dietrich and his powerhouse cellist daughter Camille Dietrich collide in Live Bahdu, a fierce musical union that music critic Byron Coley hails as “sheer wailing sonic pleasure.” Don, an untamed force who has spent over forty years shaping the explosive core of Borbetomagus, unleashes a volatile, lung-shaking roar, an unyielding take no prisoners wall of sound. Camille answers with her own ferocity, channeling raw, electric intensity through the disciplined edge of her …

“Keep Telling Yourself That” is the debut album of the New York City-based experimental bass-violin duo of Jennifer Gersten and Maggie Cox. It is a collection of improvised songs testifying to a frisky, impish, no-holds-barred imagination for acoustic string playing. Bassist Maggie Cox exploits her titanic expressive and dynamic range on an instrument outfitted with gut strings, and violinist Jennifer Gersten transforms a beater violin through object preparations into an engine of ghastly twangs…

The (improvised) music is inspired (and structured) by the iconic book of Georges Perec from 1974 titled Espèces d’espaces. We designed a musical story following the chronology and the emotional evolution of the book. Music, too, generally needs a ‘void’ to move. It demands openness and, as such, is an invitation.

LDL brings together soprano saxophone, amplified spinet and analog synthesizer in a finely balanced exchange of precision and volatility. Drawing from deep roots in European free improvisation and contemporary music, their music unfolds as a dense, hyper-attentive dialogue where structure and spontaneity are in constant negotiation

The music of this trio is an ongoing conversation between three women about life as it unfolds between artistic practice and daily routines. Compassioned conversations about being someone’s mother, someone’s daughter, someone’s partner, someone’s friend seamlessly float into the musical sphere, where words and emotions are transformed into pitches, harmonies, rhythms and artistic gestures. Three strong artists from the creative music scene of northern Europe has formed a trio that feeds from the…

I am fascinated by the coordination and elegance of a flock of birds flying, forming beautiful murmurations, constantly changing, seemingly without effort. This communal act provides protection through the sheer number of birds and their changing position; it is an exchange of information amongst them and it has a clear collective ending when the flock decides to fly back to the ground. In Murmur, I want to explore how a large ensemble can make use of these instincts of communal movement, coordi…

This solo release captures Hannah Marshall at her most immediate and expressive, presenting improvisations that pulse with presence and physicality. Her playing radiates warmth and curiosity, offering thoughtfully shaped improvisations that feel both spontaneous and deeply grounded.

A shimmering meeting of three fearless voices, this new recording invites cellist Isidora Edwards, violinist Biliana Voutchkova and Hardanger-d’amore virtuoso Zosha Warpeha into a luminous space of spontaneous creation. Intuitive improvisation and rare timbres intertwine to explore liminal sound-worlds where silence breathes and time suspends. The result: an immersive sonic journey that defies genre, yet feels deeply human and unbound.

Birgit Ulher and Nicolas Collins are pleased to announce the release of Spark Gap, the first record of their ongoing duo project. Two trumpets, two different approaches: one electronic, the other acoustic. While Collins programmed a computer to imitate hacked circuits and wired to a speaker inside the instrument, Ulher uses metal sheets, radios, milk frothers and other everyday objects to extend her sound palette from brass to silicon. The opposed approaches yield oddly similar sonic results.

"Over 40 years of sustained performance and publishing, English saxophonist, improvisor and composer John Butcher has shaped much of what the soprano and tenor saxophone can do, and what their roles and vocabulary in improvised music might be. There’s a situated purposefulness to Butcher’s music. It is always concerned with its context, flexibility, space and company: how group playing works and flows; how aspects of improvisation fit into a living musical world; how and what the saxophone can b…

Peter Evans and Mike Pride push the outer limits of improvisation. Combining Evans’ explosive trumpet virtuosity with Pride’s kaleidoscopic drumming and percussion work, this collaboration is equal parts high-wire intensity and deep listening. With sharp turns, dense sound clusters, unexpected silences, and moments of raw, unfiltered expression, this is improvised music at its most daring and unpredictable. Whether erupting into chaos or threading through intricate interplay, Evans and Pride pro…

Mnemonists, on the first album called Mnemonist Orchestra, is U.S collective of avant-garde musicians from Colorado, led by Mark Derbyshire and William Sharp. Their music is a mixture of modern classical, experimental sounds, noise, industrial, avant-garde and free jazz. Their releases were published by their own self-produced label Dys between 1981 and 1986. By 1985 the group had split off into separate groups for visual and audio work. From that time, Mnemonists operated only as a visual arts …

Tip! *245 copies limited edition* Overjoyed to announce the release of this monumental record featuring two very different sides of the free-improv coin, pressed on heavyweight 180 gram mixed color vinyl. This intergenerational, wide-minded split LP blurs the hedges of national borders and the traditions of composition, marking a niche interzone inhabited solely by the uncles of punk and their experimental stepchildren.  Canadian noise pioneers, Nihilist Spasm Band, deliver a ripping side-long o…

*75 copies limited edition* DNZ122 Drew Wesely – Silence is a Sharpened Blade Silence is a Sharpened Blade speaks in the language of materiality — a stripped bare mantra of nylon and wood conjures unspoken and veiled interiors, channeling the intimacy of a single guitar alone in a room. Silence is a mirror, a shadow, an absence. It speaks when words fail in the poetry of negative numbers. Where do we go when the lights burn out? What is beauty in hell? What can pierce a heart of stone? Silence i…

** 2026 Repress ** First released in 2016 and long out of print, Hubris has come to feel like a pivot in Oren Ambarchi’s catalogue - the moment when his fascination with groove, repetition and ensemble friction finally detonated into something both overwhelming and weirdly precise. This new edition gives that record the sonic treatment it always deserved. Working from the original mixes, mastering engineer Joe Talia revisits the album with what can only be called forensic care, teasing out layer…
