Ebb-Tide
*70 copies limited edition* 'EBB-TIDE' is the first release in an upcoming series of limited-run cassettes focusing on Ameel Brecht's "sleep" compositions; music inspired by the vulnerability of sleep, by dream levels, Kleitman and the Wander Company, by sleep's alienation and by the time jungles in the dreaming part of us. As a first CS, 'EBB-TIDE' is about the hushed slow-motion waves of falling asleep, about the moment in-between waking and sleeping, when conscious life ebbs off, daytime rush…
Zeeschuim
*100 copies limited edition* Zeeschuim is a continuation of Zeemijl, a long-form piece from 2020. Through their density and movement, these two works become sonic sculptures of the North Sea and the Irish Sea. Consciously or not, life on an island is about crossing water. Crossing the river in a city or the country; crossing the sea to leave the state. When water surrounds you, it defines your existence.zeeschuim considers what happens under the surface of these waters, and the chaos both above …

Utopie
Giusto Pio is mainly remembered for his collaboration with Battiato, with whom he co-arranged and wrote many of his unquestionable pop masterpieces, in which Giusto's fairy violin soared from classical virtuosities overflowing with melody and flashes of pure minimalism: but Giusto Pio, of course, was not just that. The long collaboration with Battiato was one of the most prolific and interesting during the '80s and '90s in Italy; this partnership took Pio to new heights in the fields of commerci…

Isolario is a cycle of 9 duets, which can be performed, or just imagined, by any instrument or voice.

Super tip! *100 copies. Extra print, extra numbered postcard* Turman first came onto the industrial scene in the late 70’s as the ominous ‘other half’ of legendary noise outfit NON.

♥ / Lamb
Soccer Committee has always been an consistent exercise in restraint, and offering space. And on ‘♥ /Lamb’, this approach has been taken to perfection. The arrangements are still minimal, with plenty of time for the tones and melodies to resonate with maximum impact. Mariska Baars still carefully selects each note, and lets the sound evolve with precise care. Her songs are definitely rooted in the folktradition, but at the same time very ‘ambient’, in the true sense of the word. And still: there…
13 Visions (After Pauline Oliveros & Hildegard Von Bingen)
*200 copies limited edition.* «13 Visions» is a series of compositions by Clara Lévy, performed by herself on violin. They are conceived as an imaginary meeting between two composers whose musical aesthetics share many common traits, despite the centuries separating them: Hildegard Von Bingen (c. 1098 – 1179) and Pauline Oliveros (1932 – 2016). The two composer's respective visions are thus intertwined by Levy in a cycle of thirteen pieces for solo violin. Somewhere between composition, arrangem…
