Varder 1
Big Tip! Varder is a new LP-series dedicated to unearthing early Norwegian electronic music. When this new form of music began to spread in the 1950s, it required large studios with expensive equipment, and the outcome was often considered not commercial enough for record labels to venture into. But despite the meagre means, Norwegian composers threw themselves into new sonic adventures such as electroacoustics, musique concrète and computer music, travelling to studios in Norway, Sweden, Poland…

Jenseits Der Wand

While one focuses on the diverse acoustic dimension of urban life with all its obscure and often indecipherable noises behind your own four walls, the other deals with the specific soundscape of a recycling center, which is created from the supposedly worthl…
Les Cités Englouties
*2024 stock* Laure Boer is Kashual again. And not so Plastik. Zoning dark-ish into her inner realms of journey music. Poetic, psychic, reflective, ejective. She sings. Weeps. Speaks. Intimate looping narratives, celebrating personal glories and all those worries. Stylistically alternating from electroacoustic dimensions to drone guitar amp personas, from folk melodiousness to witchy avant-notes. Ten drifters for the Lomaxed creatures, earthbound, and always up there in the luminaries. Music that…
Hell Bank Note (1993 - 1995)
Burning Love Jumpsuit were an Underground Irish band of movie obsessive shut ins who had access to a computer. They were active between 1991 – 2002. A three-piece of proto-edgelords, (D.F. Dresden, Smiley, J. Bassetti) Burning Love Jumpsuit jammed and sampled their way to notoriety in the 1990s, making experimental music that was equal parts thought-provoking funk and stroke-inducing gunk. A penchant for sleazy Americana, obscure movies and exploitative daytime telly inspired a pool of samples t…
Tokokawa
Tip! *300 copies limited edition* “This collaborative release presents three immersive movements of avant-electronics full of unexpected tonal contrasts and shifts in intensity. Powered by modular synthesis, “concrete” assemblage technique and a pervasive desire to work with the full spectrum of sound. Tokokawa is the product of its two producers’ commitment to a dynamic, ever-renewing sense of aesthetics.” -Thomas Bey William Bailey
Composed from 2023 to 2024, these three pieces present a deep …
The Least of Both Worlds
Scratching surfaces and moving through a sense of non meaning confusion stuck in a place that pushes mysterious sense of forshadowing and disheveled overture. Stretching and breaking live and deconstructed recordings assembled at two sites, deconstructed and reassembled for our pleasure and possibly yous. Shadow Glass is the new duo of Nathan Ivanco and Matthew Conzett.
Metaphysical Swatting
After emerging from a red shag-carpeted basement in Baltimore in 2012, Comfort Link produced a series of skewed concrete muzak albums knitted together with wobbly tape loops of found and recycled sounds, gradually shifting toward a darker post-industrial sound collage style on more recent releases. On Metaphysical Swatting, battered reel-to-reel tape machines and portable cassette recorders scramble up the primary sound sources of voice and organ - ancient reels of tape with loose oxide are over…
Appleton Syntonic Menagerie
Tip! *2024 stock* Jon Appleton, born in Hollywood (1939) but mainly active in New York, was one of the pioneers of electronic music. His work on Syntonic Menagerie (Flying Dutchman, 1969), and Human Music (Flying Dutchman, 1970), with Don Cherry, introduced electronic instruments to a wider audience.
Random Architecture
A set of kinetic and sometimes meditative sound collages built from recordings shared between both artists, their first recording together. The element of chance was adapted into the editing process, resulting in vibrantly textured layers that interact with each other in unpredictable ways.
Non Living Nature: Compositions For Dictaphone
"In 2020, I bought a used Sanyo M-5799 dictaphone, from the internet. The dictaphone arrived with a mini cassette. When I played the tape, there was a recording from the previous owner. He was testing the recorder, to see if it was functional, but at some point he recorded the words "... Less to be, not to be". These "messege" from this old man standed to me like he wanted me to listen his advice or his existential fears"
This album is dedicated to this man, to the concept of "the end of humanit…
Moldy Cushions

This is my first solo album since 2016's Bizarre Flight on Gertrude Tapes, with most of the time in-between focused on other collaborative projects.The pieces on Moldy Cushions started as improvised sketches, with many of …

Oto no Hajimari wo Motomete vol.13
The first track is Transient '64, produced in 1964, composer Yoriaki Matsudaira. In the production process, a cluster of sine waves with a transient tone, referred to as 'transient sound', was created. The second track is Assemblages for Tape, produced in 1969, composer Yoriaki Matsudaira. Until now, electronic music has used sound sources with fixed waveforms, such as sine waves, sawtooth waves, square waves, and white noise. With these oscillators, it is impossible to create free tones. The ph…
