Detriti
*60 copies limited edition* SabaSaba return with ‘Detriti’, a companion piece to 2024’s dystopian ‘Unknown City’. The duo of Andrea Marini (synth, guitar, electronics, tapes) and Gabriele Maggiorotto (drums, percussion, effects, programming) are joined by collaborator Ambra Chiara Michelangeli on viola. The mysterious Torino ensemble trades in much of their digital sheen for a rollicking half-pensive, half-dream suspended soundtrack. An organic looseness permeates the short tracks creating ferti…
Guesswork
*250 copies limited edition* I don’t know how to describe myself as a musician, but I like to explore how sound events can create spatial arrangements in the mind and trigger proprioception… Or is it movement? This album collects and refines around four years of experiments and statements. Early work responded directly to the visual cosmology of Philippe Shewchenko, who created the cover art. The album title describes my attempts to process disparate influences through semi-improvisational compo…
Meditation Music Beyond The Unsleeping Psychopathic Mind
*200 copies limited edition* 'Meditation Music Beyond The Unsleeping Psychopathic Mind' — a raw, deep free-jazz exploration where synth, voice, saxophone, and percussion dissolve into a single, unfiltered sound world. No boundaries, no polish — just presence and freedom for sonic expression. Music spontaneously composed (improvised) by all members of the group. Recorded at Threshold Studios in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Produced by our good friend Devin Brahja Waldman and wrapped in hypnotic cov…
Buxtehude
*70 copies limited edition* Niagara return to Discrepant with Buxtehude, a new work bending the legacy of Dietrich Buxtehude into their own fractured, electro-organic language. Rather than a tribute, Buxtehude feels like an abstract dialogue with the Baroque composer’s sense of structure and flow—reimagined through Niagara’s raw synth work, off-grid rhythms and subtly warped melodic cycles. The trio let the music grow from the inside out.
There’s a clarity to Buxtehude that feels carved rather t…
Ghost Music Library
*100 copies limited edition* With "Ghost Music Library", RhaD, acronym for Research of Historical Audio Documents, returns after the 2021 debut Metamusic, further exploring the margins between archival research, improvisation, and sonic abstraction. Created by Italian sound artist Raffaele Pezzella, also known for his main project Sonologyst, RhaD represents a more instinctive and unrestrained counterpart to his usual conceptual rigor. Here, the music unfolds as a collage of forgotten tapes, mal…
Continuation
*300 copies limited edition* Words have never been my strongest point. I have many ideas in my head, often too many. I can talk a lot about them, but putting them on paper is not really me. I rather just work on my ideas. ‘cause whatever your thoughts are, as soon as it is out there and people start to listen it becomes theirs. What I might have thought up before, and have as concept behind the music, might not be how someone else listens to it. And that’s okay. If we keep in mind that my music …
Structura Parva
Filtro returns with a short ep reflecting its new approach to minimal strucures and small electronics. Sounds for night reflections and dark disquiets. Filtro is an electronic duo composed by Angelo Bignamini and Luca de Biasi. The duo focuses their research on the characteristics and properties of sound, disconnected from its original context and meaning, favoring minimalist and abstract constructions, questioning the modes of reproduction and distribution in space. They have released several m…
Angel By Milo
Artist and multi-instrumentalist Flaer embraces the search for quiet miracles on first full-length LP Translations.
Body Sound
Whitney Johnson, Lia Kohl, and Macie Stewart are a trio who utilize string instruments, voices, and manual tape effect processing to craft compositions from alternately tranquil and disquieting improvised music. The three musicians are individually rooted in deep sound exploration, multi-disciplinary composition, and all manner of cross-genre collaboration. The musical ground covered by their solo practices is correspondingly expansive, and their individual recording and performance credits read…
Dras
Tip! Alex Zhang Hungtai stands in stillness on 'Dras', but it's the kind of stillness that contains entire ranges of possibility. Recorded in 2019 inside Montreal's Saint Joseph Oratory (right before a piano demolition, no less), these nine pieces sat dormant on his hard drive through pandemic years until something finally clicked. What emerges now feels like watching someone trace the contours of their own interior landscape, each melodic line a careful negotiation with the unconscious. This is…
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…
Still Inside
*70 copies limited edition* This album invites quiet self-reflection within a carefully defined space. It traces the subtle movements of introspection, guiding the listener through a gradual journey toward a serene and final state of awareness.
Fragmenter 2020/23
Ghostly industrial from One of my favorite local projects. 60 minutes of warm and dreamlike tape music. This recording is for me a perfect example of how music for magnetic tape can feel as organic as the vibrations of a string or the humming of a voice, when utilizing the flaws and unpredictability of tapes and tape machines.
Country dreng country hund
One hour of exquisite microcassette manipulation from a great friend of the label. A free flowing audio diary documenting daily routines and primitive audio experiments. Some of the best tape murk to be produced on danish soil for many years.
Dried plum music for the grim reaper / gathering tiny traces
I’m very happy to present a split cassette of two of my favorite tape music artists from Denmark. A half hour of strange magnetic signals, unidentifiable voices, and all round textural bless. Too quiet to be noise, too gnarly to be ambient, but absolutely perfect for this label.
Unfurling
*200 copies limited edition* Pefkin is the alter ego of Gayle Brogan, a Sheffield-based creator of slowly-unfolding, ritualistic hymnals that draw deeply on landscape, nature, and the histories that bind them. Her sound is built from a mesmerising layering of voice, viola, analogue synths, harmonium, melodica, zither and field recordings manipulated with a kaleidoscopic array of effects. Hereby she blurs the boundaries between folk, psychedelia, and experimental music. Over the years her work ha…
Zauberberg
"Few years ago, an idea germinated while reading The Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann. An idea not driven by the narrativity of the book, but by the traces and the aura invoked in it. That was it: an audible auratic journey trough the memories of a place lost in the heights of the swiss mountains. A century after the events depicted in the book, we went where the story took place, trying to capture the remaining sounds that could have been heard at the time, and the ghosts who might have still wand…
kdi dctb 295 {e} — Le Libre
*170 copies limited edition* "It was looking at the map—in 2013—that led me to the Libre Valley. The name itself, "Le Libre" is rather unusual and certainly catches the eye. The map also reveals large, uninhabited areas far from transportation routes—particularly the entire area between St-Martin-des-Puits and Villerouge-Termenès—rocky, arid regions where the ruins of old sheepfolds can still be found, and even a chapel perched atop a hill.
I had just finished my work on the Taurion River — kdi…
PRN2_M15t
NYZ (David Burraston) presents this collection of generative music pieces carefully extracted from a PreenFM2 gifted to him by Aphex Twin. PRN2_M15t is being released at the same time as an LP titledStria from Dr. John Chowning who invented the original FM synthesis algorithms which were sold to Yamaha and used in the creation of the DX series of keyboards. An interview with Chowning, conducted by David Burraston, will be published at the same time.
David Burraston is an award winning artist/sci…
Einde Were
*100 copies limited edition* ‘Einde Were’ is the debut solo album by guitarist Nicolas Van Belle, recorded in late 2024 at Zinnema in Brussels. It will be released as KR007 on Klankhaven Records on vinyl, accompanied by a booklet of texts. At its core a mourning record, the central theme of this album is as old as time itself: the existential crisis that follows a breakup, loss, and/or farewell. Nicolas Van Belle transforms this universal aspect of life into a ten-part musical epitome, in which …
