Aerial
Aspen Edities is pleased to present Aerial, the third album of the experimental quartet Oker.
Live Non-Plus Ultra
On Live Non-Plus Ultra, Strain of Laws—the duo of Aaron Hemphill and John Wiese—drag voice and electronics through a pressure system of sub‑bass, hiss and mumbled fragments, documenting their 2025 LA set as a single, slowly suffocating industrial hallucination.
Third Night Sparks
On Third Night Sparks, Akio Jeimus, Risa Takeda and T. Mikawa bottle a one‑off Bar Isshee trio into a crackling nocturne of electronics and synths, where noise iconoclasm and poised, in‑the‑moment listening fuse into a single live current.
Live At Henie Onstad Art Centre 1971
*2026 repress* Recorded on February 28, 1971, at the Henie Onstad Art Centre in Høvikodden, Norway, this remarkable document captures Soft Machine at the height of their creative powers—performing two continuous sets that blur the boundaries between composition and improvisation.
On this evening, the British avant-garde ensemble unleashed an unbroken flow of sound—dynamic, exploratory, and charged with the band’s signature blend of jazz, rock, and experimental electronics. All instruments—exce…
Trees, Chants And Hollers
This enchanting album weaves together the intricate fingerstyle guitar mastery of Paul LaBrecque with the soulful, ethereal vocals of Valerie Webb, creating a sonic tapestry rooted in folk, acoustic, and world music traditions. Recorded in the lush Vermont woods, the title track "Trees" evokes the whispering rustle of leaves and ancient forest spirits through LaBrecque's cascading arpeggios and Webb's haunting chants.
Tracks like "Hollers" channel raw Appalachian calls into rhythmic, percussive …
Die Dritte Ebene
On Die Dritte Ebene, Emilio Gordoa and Sven‑Åke Johansson let vibraphone, drums and accordion run in seemingly parallel lines until a mysterious “third layer” appears - a ghost‑music of overtones, pulse and texture that neither player could summon alone.
Live at Issue Project Room
On Live at ISSUE Project Room, Loren Connors and Alessandra Novaga turn the guitar into a nearly weightless medium, tracing an improvised, slow‑burn dialogue of tremors, silences and ghost‑melodies that feels less like a concert than a séance for two.
Microcosm
*2026 stock* Recording Kang Taehwan’s music, his underground practice room has been the place where he has spent the most time with his saxophone and remains his most familiar space. The concrete and brick finishes, high ceiling, and asymmetrical structure in all directions create a unique reverberation. Because the shape of the room is irregular, the acoustic balance shifts constantly from side to side and front to back depending on the pitch.
Although Kang’s performance is on a single instrume…
Olympiad - Vol. 4 - Curling
On John Zorn’s Olympiad Vol. 4 – Curling, John Zorn exhumes one of his rarest 1970s game pieces, a slow‑burn study in sustained tones, handing it to ROVA Saxophone Quartet and the William Winant Percussion Group, who turn its minimalist rules into 45 minutes of hovering, hypnotic sound.
Fabu and Teche
Fabu and Teche extends HeghL’s “camera mista” into two impersonal, semi‑ghostly surfaces, where language and technique rebound, hybridise and thin out into fragile, flickering forms that are neither one thing nor another, yet stubbornly refuse to disappear.
Du Jeu Idéal
Du Jeu Idéal turns HeghL’s philosophical play into sound, as Tekelerobutor (op.el) stages Luca Pedeferri’s piano against works by Lisa Baume and Francesco Trabattoni, treating Deleuze’s “game without rules” as a constantly mutating musical event.
Mise
Mise extends HeghL’s mythography of the “Outside” into an invented archive, staging the rediscovery of anonymous scores as an excuse for a radical piano‑led reconstruction of the imagined oeuvre and unfinished world of the elusive Andrea Firewell.
L'Entretien Infini
L’Entretien Infini finds HeghL translating a philosophico‑theatrical chain of voices into sound, as clarinet, violin, piano and double bass improvise around Maurice Blanchot’s “infinite conversation” and the elusive “Thought of the Outside.”
Buenos Antwerp
On Buenos Antwerp, Elko Blijweert and Anla Courtis turn a chance Borgerhout encounter into a two‑part psychedelic correspondence, one acoustic, one electric, a cross‑Atlantic guitar séance wrapped in Dennis Tyfus’ cut‑and‑paste visual delirium.
Paris Public Spaces 2
On Paris Public Spaces 2, Éric La Casa and Seijiro Murayama stage brief, focused vocal interventions across Parisian sites, letting microphone placement and urban acoustics turn spoken sound into a moving portrait of how voice and city continuously re‑shape one another.
Nachleben
Nachleben is a limited-edition cassette release by Italian pianist and composer Giovanni Di Domenico, issued by Dasa Tapes, a Greek label specializing in experimental music. The album features two long-form tracks: "Parts I & II" (19:34) and "Part III" (18:06), showcasing Di Domenico's signature minimalist piano style marked by repetition, subtle nuance, and contemplative atmospheres.
Di Domenico's work on Nachleben embodies his personal approach to contemporary minimalism, emphasizing concentr…
Act Against War
This album emerged from a chance encounter at Casa del Popolo in Montreal during the Suoni per il Popolo festival. Over the years Tim Daisy and Stefan Christoff kept in touch and in 2023 started exchanging more seriously about working on some music together. The conversations and exchanges over the years had revolved around trying to find pathways for collective action in the arts to support movements against war.
Particularly the two discussed and collaborated on a global radio broadcast to cri…
Live at Klankhaven
"Live at Klankhaven" captures a dynamic live performance by Atsuko Hatano and Pak Yan Lau. Recorded on October 24th, 2024, at Klankhaven in Antwerp by Diego Faes and mastered by Yves De Mey, this cassette features two extended improvisational pieces: Part 1 (16:32) and Part 2 (15:44). Released by Dasa Tapes, a Greek limited-edition label focused on experimental music, it showcases the duo's innovative string explorations in a raw, site-specific setting. Atsuko Hatano, a Japanese violist known fo…
Lampo
Coherent States is excited to announce the release of Will Guthrie’s new album “Lampo”, containing brand new material recorded during his 2024 performance at the Lampo event series in Chicago. In his third session for the series, Will presented a fresh concept based on brief and recurring modules generated solely by acoustic drums and percussion, without any use of electronics. The experimental structures that together form the 32 minutes of the performance deliberately deviate and reintegrate a…
Mux
*In process of stocking* Since his Beat Diary debut (a 12xLP box set comprising 365 beats recorded daily over the course of a year), Julian Sartorius has immersed himself in unique and ambitious projects - trekking the path not travelled to arrive at rhythmic life forms through found objects and prepared instruments. Equally as mighty are his two other escapades, the most recent being Locked Grooves - 112 beats cut as endless loops on vinyl spanning 56 dense 1.8 second compositions per side. Pre…
