Always accompanied by a loyal German Shepherd (definitely four years old).The soundtrack to his bicycle ride near the beach is Baden Powell. Connected with Tetsuya Maruyama, curator of the upcoming tape release, through this very dog. (Both Maruyama and t…
Solid Layers, Deafening Shapes
2016 release ** "A solo percussion album from Francesco Gregoretti, employing traditional instruments and unusual object to create unique audio environment that use predictable rhythmic elements against capricious approaches, giving his playing a personal style fueled by resonance and natural feedback; an album that balances chaotic and structured environments in riveting ways."
Metal Machine Music
Lou Reed's infamous Metal Machine Music returns for its 50th Anniversary. The most notorious album in rock history returns – Remastered, Revisited, and Still as Radical as Ever
Blue Mountains
One day Hannes told me he had a new band with Christian that would more or less sound like Spacemen 3 / Stereolab "but not all at the same time" (!). When I received these tracks, after some initial acid noise and a piece that sounds like Suicide with the computer crashing, I gradually recognized the salty scent of the purest south Scandinavian spleen, updated to the anguish of current times. Line up expanded to include members of the Australian band Low Life for the occasion!
Water Futures
About the album“Water Futures” refers to the buying and selling of stocks based on the speculation that potable water will soon become a scarce resource due to the accelerating climate crisis. The sonic content within the album aims to reinforce the existential discomfort that this is a potential reality.
About the soundsEach track on this album is achieved using combinations of reeds, straws, saxophones, saliva, water, and air in various proportions. No electronic effects were used in the makin…

Palace
The electroacoustic composition Palace combines the autobiographical, the carefully stored, the long lost and the accidentally forgotten with the spontaneity of rediscovery and reinvention.
In Palace, I interweave older archival recordings from my time as an Ives-playing pianist, field recordings, accidentally rediscovered leftovers and scraps of my daughter's singing and piano playing, as well as newly created live performed material using oscillators, feedbacks and all of the above – sampled, …
Ganglions
Tip! *2025 stock* "On Ganglions, Badrutt sculpts sinusoidal sounds, internal and external feedback as well as voice inputs and other sources into two pieces of otherworldly music. The release takes the listener into the realm of an arthropod central nervous system and its nerve cells processing tactile and visual information (Supraesophageal). The B-Side – Suboesophageal – showcases a more primitive, destructive approach that could well be aligned with a nerve cluster that processes environmenta…
Sauerkraut
*2025 stock* In 2013, the collaboration of electronic musician Gaudenz Badrutt and saxophonist Ilia Belorukov began in a trio with accordionist Jonas Kocher, and in 2014 the album Rotonda was released on Intonema. Since then, time has passed, Badrutt and Belorukov have toured also as a duo, Belorukov later switching to a modular synthesizer.
In March 2019 in Biel/Bienne, the duo fruitfully worked in a new context, looking for fresh ways to interact, not only with each other, but also between ele…
June 26, June 27
*30 copies limited edition* This double disc project originated with Evan’s recordings, which comprise the first disc. Evan’s original recordings June 26, and June 27 were made at home in one take, an improvisation with feedback, instruments, and interior environment. The following disc “Ponder with Strong Hands” and “Silo No Jazz” include Evan’s original recordings re-amplified by John Collins McCormick.
"In service to the microphone in the room and the simultaneous ability to forget about the …
Deep Talk In A Shallow Creek
This recording was made June 3, 2023 near Kingston New York while standing in the Stony Kill. In part one, John and Evan improvise with and against each other and nature. The raging water is a dynamic barrier at once the audible center and distracting noise. Part two showcases audio’s ability to fool the senses, by slowing the playback speed we can challenge the figure/ground relationship.
"If there is a need for constant sound I like a creek. They are reliable, if rain-dependent. Of making soun…
Direct Action
Since their formation in 1977 Mark Perry’s group Alternative TV have moved far away from their more direct punk rock beginnings into all manner of other areas of music that have sometimes themselves drawn from improvisation, free jazz, industrial and electronic music. On 'Direct Action', Alternative TV’s first studio album since 'Opposing Forces' in 2015, we are presented with six instrumental tracks which steadily rip apart all expectations as they shed all allusions to rock music in favour of …

Radio Free Alcatraz
2012 release ** Unique hand-made covers. "Fritz Welch approaches his urge to express from many angles, regularly melding drawing, sculpture, text, sound and performance into site-specific installations that lurch at our craven consumerism and the casually accepted madness of the mundane. Texan roots via a long-time residence in Brooklyn spread to his current home of Glasgow, and as well as being exhibited across the US and Europe following his debut in New York’s A/C Project Room, you’ve probab…
Bye Bye Bird
"Nina Garcia has been actively moving the art of noise guitar into surprising and intriguing new spaces. She has been at it for some time now, a bit of a secret weapon all the while hiding in plain sight. As I listen to her music and ruminate upon seeing her perform it brings me to a realization which I have with very few musicians: the ego inherent in making art can be transcended through a purity of direct action. At least that’s the feeling I have when experiencing Nina’s music which comes a…
Locus
300 copies. Following a creative burst in 2024 that resulted in several releases on iDEAL, New Forces and No Rent, label favorites Organ of Corti are returning to DMR for their first LP. Slowly moving into new territory, they deliver 6 bare boned surreal soundscapes. Minimal, repetitive tape loops, haunting synths and vaguely familiar vocal samples are carefully mixed for a sonic exercise reminiscent of those classic Nurse with Wound and Organum releases.
The Swedish trio of scene veterans Joach…
