Particles and Waves
Takashi Masubuchi and Yosuke Morone’s Particles and Waves, drifts between gesture and suspension. With guitar, electronics, and tape fragments, the duo render vibration itself as material—each piece a study in how the smallest sonic particle can shape an immense aural field.
Idiorrythmie
Shuta Hiraki and Shuma Ando’s idiorrythmie, examines the art of moving together apart. Through fractured beats, drone layers, and asymmetrical pauses, it turns musical structure into a study of parallel autonomy—two voices in orbit, touching only at unexpected points.

(Kiku (sense) the [drawing + sound]) 描奏をきく
Shiori Sasaki’s 描奏をきく (Kiku (sense) the [drawing + sound]), transforms visual gesture into an audible world. Merging live drawing with acoustic improvisation, it invites the listener into a synesthetic space where ink lines and sonic textures share the same breath.
Sonifying the Sun: The Mass Emergence of Brood XIII and XIX Periodical
Patrick Quinn’s Sonifying the Sun: The Mass Emergence of Brood XIII and XIX Periodical Cicadas, blurs the boundary between scientific observation and ecstatic sound art. Using data sonification and field recordings, it shapes the cicadas’ cosmic rhythm into a resonant meditation on time, light, and collective life cycles.
Otolith
Florian Kolb and Thanos Polymeneas-Liontiris’s otolith is a deep dive into the body’s hidden navigational systems. Translating sonic vibration into a study of balance and disorientation, it shifts between seismic lows and crystalline highs, mapping an aural terrain of tilt, sway, and sensory recalibration.
Notions de Confort
Lise Barkas and Jean-Baptiste Geoffroy’s Notions de Confort is a provocative dismantling of musical ease. Rooted in improvisation yet fractured by raw timbres and spatial instability, it turns comfort into an elusive mirage—challenging the listener to question habitual listening.
Rien de ça
Bruno Duplant’s Rien de ça is a sparse and spectral meditation on presence through absence. Built from near-silences, fractured tones, and shifting aural shadows, it listens like an eroded diary—each sound a ghost of intent, each pause a deliberate, resonant void.
Black Spur
Atsuko Hatano and Joe Talia converge on Black Spur, translating improvisational dialogue into a landscape of flickering tonal mirages. The album bends cello, percussion, and electronics into dark, cinematic forms—meditative, unpredictable, and haunted by unresolved tension.
La Traversée (LP)
Matthias Puech’s La Traversée ventures through atmospheric electronic landscapes, offering an evocative journey with immersive soundscapes. Released on Hallow Ground as an LP, this album invites listeners to experience a visionary fusion of music and art from a renowned artist-led label, dedicated to inspiring sonic exploration.
Lichthöfe
*300 copies limited edition* The musical material on „Lichthöfe“ is based on modular recordings by Thorsten Soltau. Conceptually these recordings deal with the spaciality of sound and the stereo field, while still maintaining an improvisational character. Asmus Tietchens has treated the material to intensive deformations, ranging from reductionist clusters to brittle textures. In each treatment a fragment of the original material remains audible.

Within Without
"I first owned a fender rhodes electric piano in the late 1970s. It was a Mark 1 model (wooden key action). I had a band with my younger brother and my best friend from school and this was my ‘portable’ gigging instrument that weighed ‘a ton,’ and only just fitted in our small car. (I eventually got smart and left the 15 kg lid at home.) I had one effects pedal, a Boss chorus. Sadly—due to the rise of synthesisers and electronic keyboard instruments—I sold this lovely instrument in the late 1980…
X&A
Two sides, each lasting 8 minutes and 50 seconds. A clash that resonates in friction, united by the materiality of vinyl - if only for a time. Or at best, a rapprochement, like in cinema. On side A, a MIDI composition by Xavier Robel for synthesized piano, based on La Monte Young's tuning system for The Well-Tuned Piano. Mouse clicks, boxing gloves, vibrancy, and mischief. On side B, a positively insistent On-U Sound-flavored rhythmic investigation, produced by Androo in response to Xavier Robel…
Songlines
*300 copies limited edition* When the ghost in the machine meets the breath in the reed, expect sparks. Electronic sound artist Robin Rimbaud – Scanner joins forces with acclaimed British bass clarinetist Gareth Davis to create an album where circuitry hums, wood vibrates, and the air between notes crackles with possibility. This is no polite meeting of minds — it’s an elegant collision. Scanner’s intricate electronic textures weave around Davis’s deep, resonant tones, blurring the boundary betw…
It Deel IV
*300 copies limited edition* Poetry and music in an annually changing Frisian-international ensemble — that’s It Deel, a residency project by the Kleefstra brothers. After three previous sessions and releases with Jacaszek, Eivind Lønning & Espen Reinertsen, and Karen Willems, this beautiful project finds its conclusion with a fourth collaboration. In the summer of 2024, the Kleefstras invited cellist Joana Guerra and violinist Maria do Mar de Brito Lopes for a week-long creative residency at a …
Fumarola
For the third time, they had been sent to this forsaken land. It was neither east nor west, neither north nor south. They said it had once been a kingdom, somewhere in the heart of the old continent, something they had pieced together from the ruins scattered across jagged hills sprouting here and there from the ground. Everyone else went islands, dived to the seabed, drilled at the poles, and explored waste in the east, but these two were sent here again, as if someone were trying to get rid of…
rely
Here is 'rely', a new album by Eric Wong & yan jun. They use voice, breath, sine tones and noise. For those of you who have attended one of their performances, or heard 'dichotomic language' the sounds may appear familiar, but to me the space and interplay between them on 'rely' feels very different. In March and April of this year I saw yan jun perform three times, for the first time, and it has changed how I hear the record. I was initially struck by how close everything sounded, and now I hav…
A Path Within A Path
*200 hand-numbered copies limited edition* Seabuckthorn is an alias used for the solo work of English composer Andy Cartwright. Cartwright uses picking & bowing techniques combined with various open tunings on string instruments to form a mixture of approaches, often with layered accompaniments. Generally the songs lean towards to the experimental genre, whilst on the edge of the ambient and folk. Having grown up in Oxfordshire, Cartwright studied sound engineering in Cornwall and then lived in …
Den Oändliga Historien
*300 copies limited edition.* Blod, the enigmatic Swedish folk collective, announces the release of Den Oändliga Historian (The Endless Story), a new album that represents both the band's darkest exploration yet and paradoxically their most uplifting work. Recorded during spring 2025 and released on Förlag För Fri Musik (catalog number 033), the album showcases an expanded lineup featuring core members Gustaf Dicksson, Elin Engström, Julia Bjernelind, Magnus Jäverling, and Erik Ridelius, alongs…
