The first album under the Mnemonists name, released in 1980 in 500 copies on the Colorado collective's own Dys label: 22 'Fragments' of improvisation between modern classical, noise, industrial and free jazz, by the circle that became Biota. Reissued on CD by Klanggalerie.
Special Bundle: Roberto Musci's The Loa Of Music (2LP, silver vinyl) and Roberto Musci & Giovanni Venosta's Urban And Tribal Portraits (LP, clear vinyl), both from Soave in new limited pressings of 200 copies each.
Outside Italy, Roberto Musci's name circulated for decades among a small number of collectors and almost no one else. That changed in 2016, when Music From Memory issued Tower Of Silence, a double LP gathering three decades of his work: hunting horns, gongs and strings brought back fr…
Italian experimental music is notoriously resistant to definition and location. If ever there was an object to encapsulate the spirit of that movement, it is the composer and musician Roberto Musci’s debut album from 1984 - The Loa Of Music. Recorded after a decade traveling the world - drifting between African, Indian, and the Near & Far East - studying music, making field recordings, and collecting instruments, not only is it a perfect culmination of such an experience, but a lens into the rig…
On SIC, Nurse With Wound and Aranos construct a cold, roaring ambient symphony from metallic percussion, numbing drones and disembodied voices. Long unavailable on vinyl, this edition restores a quietly menacing work where sound sculpture and slow-moving ritual converge, suspended between dread, dream and industrial weather.
On Healsgebedda Budgerigar, Nurse With Wound turn memory itself into a delirious tape loop: three long, sample‑swollen excursions where pet chatter, phantom TV themes and street detritus melt into a woozy, psychedelic netherworld of half‑remembered sound.
*Edition of 100* On Quiet Panic, Mark Schaub sculpts a slow‑burn tension where stillness never quite settles, his compositions hovering between ambience and unease, finely honed and given extra dimensional depth by Andrea Marutti’s mastering.
In The Infinite Garden, composer Dario Calderone joins Aurélie Nyirabikali, Naomi Sato and Gareth Davis in live exchange with Amstelpark’s weather, wildlife and human traffic, turning a cloudy January day into a shared, porous instrument for expanded listening.
*Released on 100 gold cassettes with UV printing* “Harhapoluilla” takes the listener on a midnight walk through old birch forests, abandoned villages, through creaking wooden doors, to a special inner landscape. Musically this takes the form of many strange samples, analog loops from cryptic sources and found sounds. Noise elements also occasionally take the forefront but the mysterious atmosphere never fades away completely.
The themes of the album, says Klemi, deal with “Images of deep forests…
Ste Cy, the latest studio offering from the trio of Jac Berrocal, Vincent Epplay, and Timo van Luijk, ripens like a forbidden fruit—born of an improvised instrumental session captured in the secluded hush of Kulta Saha by Timo van Luijk.These raw recordings were later reshaped into 12 songs by Vincent Epplay at Studio Villejuif in Paris. And over it all drifts the poetry of Jac Berrocal - sensual and incendiary, seeping into the music like spice into flesh.
LP includes recto/verso insert with ly…
Tip! Kitchen. Label is proud to present Agate, the latest album by Japanese artist Meitei, marking a deepening of the world he first shaped through his Kofū trilogy released between 2020 - 2023. Named after the mineral agate, a stone formed through slow accumulation, pressure, and time, the album reflects Meitei’s patient approach to sound. Agate brings together extended and newly rearranged works from across the Kofū cycle alongside new compositions and passages, refining material developed thr…
Super Tip! In the midst of a wave of hybridizing ambient, drone, folklore and experimental electroacoustic music, Roxane Métayer has gained a cult following with only a couple of releases to date.

With her violin, woodwind, voice and various effect p…
* Special embossed, die-cut sleeve with 56-page booklet - 200 copies on black vinyl * Aude Van Wyller (aka Oï les Ox, aka AI les Axes) joins forces with acclaimed poet Lucy Van, author of The Open (2021) and Australian Women's Historical Photography (2024). This debut collaboration weaves together Van Wyller's ambient mutations with Van's incisive, luminous words.
In Material, words reach for the image, sounds reach for the word, and one thing becomes another. The result is an intimate, tactile …
Edition of 250. Deluxe edition + insert. For eighteen months, between 1984 and 1985, Patrick Lysaght played flute, strings, and percussion inside the Rainforest Birdhouse at the Rio Grande Zoo in Albuquerque, New Mexico. His audience and collaborators: 150 birds of 42 species.
The result is one of the earliest and most radical documents of interspecies improvisation. Predating the current wave of sound ecology by decades, For The Birds sits comfortably alongside the biophonic research of Bernie …
* Limited edition of 100 copies, gold etched title on front cover. * Andrea Penso has been active on the Italian experimental scene for the better part of two decades, working within collaborative projects like Surava and We Wait for the Snow, as well as issuing more than a dozen releases under the moniker Selaxon Lutberg - most notably on Denovali Records, where his work drew favorable comparisons to the decayed loops of William Basinski and Philip Jeck, the post-rock atmospherics of Labradford…
The legendary Nurse With Wound, helmed by the visionary Steven Stapleton, returns with Living Oysters, a mesmerizing collaboration with Irish experimental musician Diarmuid Mac Diarmada. This limited edition vinyl release presents a heady freerange mix of krautrock, experimental and toe tapping psychedelia, leaning towards a slightly more rock orientated sound that pushes the project into exciting new territories while maintaining its characteristic otherworldly presence. Regular Nurse With Woun…
Huge Tip! * Limited edition of 300 copies, Embossed cover, comes with insert and postcard * Killer record here! Three Italian heavyweights doing what they do best - radical improvisation that sits somewhere between electronics, silence, and pure Mediterranean mystery. This is the real deal. Nicola Ratti, Alessandra Novaga, and Enrico Malatesta - three names you need to know if you're serious about contemporary improvised music.
The sound? Imagine if AMM had been born in Southern Europe with lapt…
Movement, unpredictability and found sound take center stage as Clinton Green and Ernie Althoff bring together turntable constructions and hand-built kinetic instruments. Their joint work finds a magnetic middle ground between gentle percussive chaos and immersive, floating textures—highlighting the overlapping of machine logic and human touch.
Melophobia spins tension out of spontaneous contact - Dave Tucker (guitar) and Pierpaolo Martino (double bass and electronics) improvise with sharp attention to rhythm, fracture, and digital manipulation, conjuring environments that threaten – and then dissolve – melodic order.
Semiotic Drift is a living conversation - Maggie Nicols uses voice as a map to possibility, Matilda Rolfsson provides creaking, insistent percussion, and Mark Wastell frames everything in the deep resonance of amplified tam-tam. The work rides the edge between storytelling and pure abstraction.
Juno invites deep contemplation through slow-moving layers of sound - Barry Chabala’s guitar, David Forlano’s electronics, and Drew Gowran’s percussion work in unhurried mutual orbit, exploring patience, resonance, and negative space rather than technical bravura.
