Infinite Probabilities (Particle 2)
"Quantum mechanics unfolds an intricate realm of limitless possibilities and probabilities, eluding easy definition. It paints a picture of the universe vastly different from our perceptible reality. What captivates me is the lens through which I perceive sound, akin to the principles of quantum physics—I don't merely hear the audible, but rather, I extract elements to construct novel auditory experiences. My profound interest in science, particularly quantum mechanics, originates around 2008-20…
Poem 1
On Poem 1, Ana Roxanne strips away the ambient haze of her earlier work to place her voice, naked and close‑mic’d, at the center of a heartbreak record. Slow, piano‑led ballads, a Schumann lied recast in synth‑chamber light, and one Lynchian jazz centerpiece turn her quiet intensity into a lucid, emotionally exposed song cycle.
Dangerous Women: Early Works 1985-2005
Laetitia Sonami's Dangerous Women: Early Works 1985-2005 traces twenty years of fearless electronic innovation. From her studies with Eliane Radigue in France to mentorship under Robert Ashley and David Behrman at Mills College, this 2CD collection captures her evolution from analog experimentation to pioneering digital performance with her legendary "lady's glove" interface.
Sounds Of The Sea
Joanna Brouk’s most ambitious recording, Sounds of the Sea is a concept album full of mystery and eroticism. An immersive world populated by pulses, swells, drones and voices, Sounds of The Sea taking us on Hindustani-tinged journey with shimmering lines executed on synths, threaded by Joanna’s vocal drones, while Celestial Lake weaves imagistic expanses from slowly evolving melodies, culminating as immersive and meditative world of its own. A conch shell bookends this journey into the deep, go…
Crystal
Maggi Payne's musical imagination is vivid: she is interested in the surreal, the inward, the micro, and the accumulation of physical and psychological tension. Periods of silence gently evolve into flowing drones of complex resonances. Oozing drones evolve into dense and powerful peaks of short duration. On one cut, multi-tracked voices shift in and out of phase, creating alternately shimmering and percussive patterns; on another, digital delay and 32 separate flute tracks create a rain forest …
Banshee / Basse Brevis
A split record in the Portraits GRM series. Davachi's Basse Brevis was co-commissioned by Radio France and INA GRM, and first played at the 2024 Presences festival, which was given over to Steve Reich.
Angel Tears in Sunlight
Angel Tears in Sunlight is Pauline Anna Strom’s first album in over thirty years; an assemblage of music that refracts the expansiveness, and minutiae, of imagined realms while embracing the kaleidoscopic echoes of our distant epochs.
The capacity to collapse time might elucidate the enigma of Pauline Anna Strom. A mystic force in music, emerging during the dawn of new age as the Trans-Millenia Consort, the pioneering synthesist channelled primordial energies into future-facing sound through a s…
Image Langage
*In process of stocking* 'Felicia Atkinson’s music always puts the listener somewhere in particular. There are two categories of place that are important to Image Language: the house and the landscape. Inside and outside, different ways of orienting a body towards the world. They are in dialogue, insofar as in the places Atkinson made this record—Leman Lake, during a residency at La Becque in Switzerland, and at her home on the wild coast of Normandy—the landscape is what is waiting for you when…
The Well And The Gentle
Tip! The Well & The Gentle, two of the major works of Pauline Oliveros, are presented here in a first time reissue on double vinyl in a gatefold sleeve with extensive liner notes. If Oliveros had followed a more conventional path she may have, all social obstacles aside, been considered among the major composers of her time. However, Oliveros approached composition in a more egalitarian manner. She wrote music for musicians to interact with or, in the composers words, she wished to create "an in…
Voice is the original instrument
For Circular Song she adapted circular breathing to the voice and sang on the inhale as well as the exhale. For Hear What I Feel she was isolated beforehand, then performed with her eyes taped shut, responding to materials placed in front of her that she could not see.
Electronic Works
One of our favourite "pure drone" album consisting of 3 amazing long tracks by Pauline Oliveros. I of IV was made in July 1966 at the University of Toronto Electronic Music Studio and was first released by CBS alongside works by 2 other young composers - 'Come out' by Steve Reich and 'Night music' by Richard Maxfield. It is really only in recent years (born out of the more radical elements of dance music, Electronica and ambient music) that music like this is being rediscovered by a growing numb…
Cirque
Huge Tip! The Circus is a place of lights and colors, but also of shadows, even darkness. Admittedly, it delights children and makes adults laugh. But you only need one rainy autumn evening near a circus tent and the smell of fodder to think of the sadness of the clowns, the endless training of the animals and the freaks who are hidden in some caravan... cinema, the essence of the circus – movement, light, danger and burlesque – will have been admirably rendered in Notes on the circus by Jonas M…
Music for Intersecting Planes
On Music for Intersecting Planes, Kali Malone and Leila Bordreuil braid organ, cello, sine waves and feedback into a candlelit nocturne of air and overtones, an austere yet tender ritual where space itself becomes a third instrument.
Zero Talk
Two of experimental music's most uncompromising minds, together at last, and never once in direct contact. Kevin Drumm and Taku Unami made Zero Talk without ever speaking to each other. It started in late 2024, when producer Jon Abbey asked Unami to master Drumm's Sheer Hellish Miasma II. Unami was thrilled: Drumm is his favorite musician. Drumm loved the result. Even then, the two never really talked, Abbey spoke to each of them separately. In mid 2025 Abbey proposed a collaborative Erst. Both …
Prisma Interius VII & VIII
* Edition of 500 * In Catherine Lamb's Prisma Interius series the unpredictability of the outside articulates the field of perception through precise bandpass filters, while acoustic instruments and musicians guide the unfolding of its harmonic space. A series of nine pieces exploring the potential of the Secondary Rainbow synthesizer, an instrument developed in 2016-2017 with Bryan Eubanks, that uses the live environment outside the performance space as a noise generator for basic subtractive s…

To mark the centenary of overlooked electronic pioneer Daphne Oram, Nonclassical - together with Oram Trust and Oram Awards - have commissioned new music by a set of contemporary visionary minority-gender electronic artists celebrating the next generation of trailblazers.
This group of artists span early-career to high-profile DJs and m…
All My Circles Run
Sarah Davachi’s ‘All My Circles Run’ is a meditative journey through sustained drones and harmonic resonance, blending analog synths, strings, and organ into a deeply immersive ambient experience."
FRKWYS Vol. 18: Extended Field
FRKWYS Vol. 18: Extended Field witnesses Horse Lords and Arnold Dreyblatt in deep collaboration, melting minimal composition and polyrhythmic invention into a sprawling sound experiment. The album pulses and stretches, dissolving genre boundaries and conjuring a space where tradition is not static, but ever-evolving.
Pale Bloom
Davachi went back to the piano she had left behind as a student, recording at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. The first side is a three-part suite in which the piano draws in a Hammond organ and a countertenor voice.
What Is Not Strange?
Eleven pieces built on Prophet and Oberheim synthesizers tuned to an eighteenth century temperament of Rameau's, with Julia Holter singing. Wada grew up in the Fluxus co-op building in Soho, with Simone Forti next door and Nam June Paik one floor up, and studied with James Tenney.
