Catalan composer and performer Ivan Chin aka Ivan Telefunken also participated in the recording sessions by contributing to a Catalan version of Swiss group Grauzone's famous…
Yara Asmar’s new album, “everyone I love is sleeping and I love them so so much”, presents 11 pieces recorded over the past year between the small town of Alfred in upstate New York and Beirut. These sometimes fragile and tentative sound sketches reflect the times as Yara steps out, as if onto ice, into a new life on a new continent. She works with unfamiliar instruments, new materials and new sounds to build on her intimate style; homemade mechanical music boxes and a personal archive of family…
Sharper Than A Needle unfolds as a sound space where textile machines transform into instruments. Silky basslines, delicate thread-like melodies, and a pulsating sewing machine synthesizer reveal surprising new tonal colors between noise, sound art, and experimental pop, as every movement of needles and every turn of spools takes on musical meaning. The project was initiated by Stephanie Müller and Klaus Erika Dietl, known for work such as Sewicide and beißpony, and for the international collect…

*40 copies limited edition* »Know I've Been Here Before« by Dan Gilmore is a suite of eleven songs, based on reassembled and overdubbed audio files recorded between 2007 and 2010. What I hear in these recordings are not only various sound sources such as the guitar, the (self-built) synthesizer, or microphones, not only movements, rhythms, textures, or even harmonies, but also ideas, aspirations, circumstances, a mode of production. It is music that, through association and disassociation, makes…
A three-LP bundle gathering the latest Aguirre reissues from two corners of contemporary folk and experimental music, offered together at a reduced price.
Two of the records belong to Brannten Schnüre, the Würzburg duo of Christian Schoppik and Katie Rich, who have spent more than a decade building a singular world at the borders of dark folk, musique concrète, ambient, and narrative conceptualism. Sommer im Pfirsichhain, the summer panel originally issued in 2015, and Geträumt hab ich vom Marti…
Last copies...Second edition of 500 on transparent red vinyl. Brannten Schnüre is an experimental dark folk group out of Würzburg, Germany. Christian Schoppik composed and played all the music, Katie Rich whispers, recites and sings. Together they make astoundingly beautiful folk with a rich instrumentation leaning towards the atonal spectrum. Instrumental wanderings stand alongside Nico-esque poetry tales. Christian plays the accordeon and in some songs guitar and flute. Inspired by hierophants…
Second edition of 500 on transparent green vinyl. The third stanza of Friedrich Hölderlin’s poem ‘Dem sonnengott’ evokes a narrator who is tortured by Spleen until slumber makes his childlike gloom disappear with music. Although today’s readers might judge these nineteenth century musings of the Imagination as mere stylistic platitudes, they also still speak beyond the grave as universal truths. A mere two hundred years later, similar anxieties and hopes are still channeled through various art f…
The sound of this composition comes from 2 live shows that were superimposed and than mixed with field recordings. The voice sings circular texts. One side is called Além and the other Aquém which means beyond and short of.If you are curious about the lyrics we can share la première strophe of Além The head, banging against the screen, searching for a decapitated cure, promises a Prometheus to the atheist,who didn't even touch the fire.
Artist Aubrey Taeuber bring us a fascinating new concept piece in the form of two long form sound collages weaving a tale of forbidden knowledge stolen by the elites and denied to the poor.
*20 copies limited edition* Cosmic Render #9 see’s the return of ‘inbuilt obsolescence’ this time joined by August Cooke for another live improvisation. Fusing performed elements with sampled textures, finding some space between organic and digital in which to spontaneously re-interpret recorded artefacts.
Tip! "City Dragon is Max Kaario, who is part of different bands such as Altersgruppe, Teenage God, ski attic etc. Canadian, he has lived in Paris for more than ten years where he organizes concerts such as cmptrmthmthcs in bars that are always changing and kebab shops sometimes. The first time I saw Max play as City Dragon was at Pauline Perplexe, an artist place in Arcueil where his friends have their studios. He was singing and improvising with a drum toy, and dancing spinning right round a bi…
*75 copies limited edition* This release celebrates a wonderful night in Edinburgh in April 2024. However (as per usual) the Arttu Partinen set was not recorded so it has been replaced with another recent live recording. This one is from the Skanu Mezs festival in Riga. The whole thing is tied together with the graphic vision of young Oran Paton, from the original poster.
On side A, Artsy Records head honcho Arttu Partinen attempts to confound both your expectations & his own as he argues his ca…
Tip! *Dubbed on new ferro tapes* Fen Hollen takes a deep plunge into idiosyncratic samplelooping and poorly done reamping techniques. Small fragments of songs merging with chaotic instrumentals and weird microcassette malfunctions.
Bogotá based Tropical futurists Rizomagic unveil their interplanetary mission to combine futurist technology with cosmic patterns, traditional rhythms and the woozy manipulations of pitched-down Cumbia Rebajada. Rizomagic are Edgar Marún and Diego Manrique, who met in 2020 while studying double bass and composition (respectively) at university in their hometown of Bogota. After finding a shared musical taste, they started producing music together during the first lockdown, swiftly producing and …
Aquainted through their shared love of music technology, and now a friendship, this is the second-time pairing between two well-known musicians from the ambient and electronic scene since some decades: the German artist Arovane and the American artist Taylor Deupree.After their first release together in November 2022, "Skal_Ghost" on 12K, this new release explore once more an organic journey built around loops and layers or processed and re-processed sounds giving this particular color to a new …
Tip! ИМА (Ima) is a work by KiMiMi, the solo project of musician Shin-ya Ohno, which captures the layers of time and the presence of people inhabiting ‘Arimasuton Building’—a self-built structure created over 20 years by architect Keisuke Oka, located in Mita, Tokyo, and reconstructs them into music. A multi-instrumentalist who masterfully handles a diverse range of instruments, with the gaida (an ancestor of the bagpipes) – which he studied in Bulgaria – at the core of his sound, KiMiMi has pre…
*80 copies limited edition* Tired is Thomas DeAngelo's first full length solo effort since the 2023 Voiceprints & Aircuts CD on adhuman, and his second for More Mars following Standing Water released in 2021. Much has changed, both domestically (DeAngelo resides in Philadelphia, USA) and geopolitically in the interim, but, as the title suggests, maybe not really. Employing a sort of seasick, off kilter symmetry and befouled mirror logic, Tired accentuates the form/content dialectic, with motifs …
Two cassette releases by Mexico City experimentalist Rolando Chia, heard by almost no one on their original release, now appear on vinyl for the first time. Batelages and Entrega - sound collage, concrete texture, avant-garde guitar - two lost chapters of the Latin American underground,
