Le manteau d'etoiles
2018 small repress. 'Le manteau d’étoiles' collects ten airy instrumental spheres glowing and evaporating in a universal infinity like any moment in the panorama of everyday life. Throughout the whole album, there's a refined sense of reductionism and that achingly poetic melancholy which drips from every sustained note and hushed passage, through the sparse, non-linear interplay of guitar, bass, gongs, flutes, clarinet, percussion, and electronics, Timo Van Lujik and Andrew Chalk, here expandin…
Itinera
**200 copies ** When Timo Van Luijk isn’t working under his own name, he works under the alias Af Ursin - a project focused on structured improvisation, combining electronic and acoustic instrumentation. Itinera is his eight full length release under the moniker since 2002. The album is a stunning and challenging marvel, hearkening back to another less compromising era of electronic music - one of rigorous and complex arrangements of structure and tone. While drawing on a number of sources for i…
Quiet Ends
The penumbra diffuses mysterious textures and a melancholic hypnotic atmosphere conductive to introspection. Another absolutely gorgeous recording from Timo van Luijk
Lost In Spice
**Edition of 400** La Scie Dorée presents a new album by In Camera. In Camera is composed of Christoph Heemann and Timo van Luijk , both experienced and quite active in the contemporary experimental music world. In Camera was formed in 2003 out of a twenty year dialogue between the duo who have recorded two albums together. On these dates, Heemann plays the Moog and manipulates prerecorded sounds live to generate lush electronic drone-scapes while van Luijk symbiotically adds to the visual sound…
Skagafjörður
* LP in black vinyl, includes a duotone printed insert and set of three postcards * Faraway Press, presents Skagafjörður by Andrew Chalk & Timo Van Luijk. Soundtrack to the silent film ‘Skagafjörður’ by Peter Hutton. Originally released on cassette by B.A.A.D.M.

The Innocents
Marsfield is a collaborative project that involves British musicians Andrew Chalk (Ora, Mirror, Isolde...), Robin Barnes and Vikki Jackman along with Australian Ambient practitioner Brendan Walls. Following Three Sunset Over Marsfield and The Towering Sky - both released on Faraway Press in 2010, The Innocents is the group's third full-lenght release and includes two long mesmerizing compositions.
Paradise Lost
* Edition of 300 * Newly reissued on vinyl (and digitally) with beautiful new artwork, Paradise Lost was originally released as a cassette back in 2019. As is the norm for many Andrew Chalk releases, additional details beyond the fact that it exists are quite thin, but this one takes that to an amusing extreme, as the Discogs entry for the original cassette notes "label and artist name are not listed on the release." That said, I believe I can say with moderate certainty that these two longfor…
L'état Intermédiaire
Edition of 300. 'L'etat intermediaire' (the intermediate state) began amidst the ending points of 'A Paper Doll's Whisper of Spring' (FP 022 : recorded 2012) and further inspired by some live performances in Leuven and London using mostly acoustical instrumentation. 'L'etat intermediare' collects 10 pieces by Andrew Chalk & Jean Noël Rebilly recorded over four years and into a narrative of personal journeys using some collected sounds, clarinets, string and keyboardinstruments. “Dreaming when …
Kyo Mu / Hochtöner
Tip! ‘Kyo Mu’ and ‘Hochtöner’ both reveal a mesmerizing symbiosis of innovative sound exploration and visionary interior music, a sublime compound of fine-drawn intricate arrangements skillfully projected in space and time, or perhaps beyond space and time. Johannes Fritsch (1941–2010) was an award-winning composer, musician, publisher, studio owner, author and music teacher. He studied viola and composition with Bernd Alois Zimmermann and was member of the Stockhausen Ensemble from 1964 to 1970…
Jacques Bekaert (LP)
Edition of 500. ‘A Late Lunch’ is the soundtrack to Akiko Iimura’s eponymous movie realized in 1978. It is based on acoustic instruments and field recordings, brilliantly reconfigured and mixed by Jaques Bekaert to create a surreal, immersive soundscape. The technique used includes superposition and speed change of recordings, radical sound effects and juxtaposition of sounds. The players were prominent musicians of the 1970’s, including Maggi Payne, George Lewis, David Rosenboom and Blue Gene T…
Autour du Lac d'Asselt
*300 copies limited edition* Timo Van Luijk with percussionist Kris Vanderstraeten, together for an enchanting exploration of liminal psychoacoustic space. "Playing with Kris always reminds me of doing expeditions in a lake. Some kind of under water sound fiction observing sonic creatures. This album is a live recording (28-01-2012, Kunstencentrum Belgie, Hasselt,Belgium) which to me always felt like one of the best concerts we did. As with our previous album Arrêt au Lac Chimère Vincent de Rogu…
Match / Soliloque 1&4 / Antifonia
Nicolae Brînduş's Match / Soliloque 1&4 / Antifonia reissues the composer’s most eccentric works from the PHTORA cycle (1968-1972), blending collective improvisation, spectral tradition, Romanian folklore, and free jazz into a mesmerizing tapestry. Tape manipulations and reverberation add depth, while Ana Golici’s sleeve art captures the album’s vivid sensibility.
Home Comfort
2nd edition 200 copies + insert. Very pleased and grateful to announce this ‘Home Comfort’ reissue by Mark Glynne and Bart Zwier, originally self-released in 1980. Maybe a bit of an unexpected title to appear in the LSD catalog but my love for this album goes back to my late teenage years and has had an addictive effect since, like a spleen infused magnet.With this album Glynne and Zwier, based in the Netherlands and connected to the Ultra scene, drew an insular blend of intimate post-punk and c…
Karlsbad
Thrilled to announce the reissue of Nikolaus Utermöhlen’s ‘Karlsbad’ album, originally released in 1989. Utermöhlen was a founding member of Die Tödliche Doris and this is his sole solo release. A collection of 23 witty oddball compositions for clarinet, accordion, percussion, recorder, violin, guitar, organ. It definitely has a Doris dose but even more so it shines for its totally singular mélange of tribal dada chamber folk, dilettante dissonant poetry, hard to compare with anything else. A sl…
Arthur Pétronio
Edition of 500. With fold-out poster and original sleeve design by Alain Geronnez. Arthur Petronio (1897-1983) was a French-Italian musician, poet and painter. Lived in Belgium and The Netherlands between 1910 and 1924 and since then in France. Young violin virtuoso studying with Belgian master violinist Eugène Ysaÿe.

Atlantic Crossing
La Scie Doree returns with an absolute stunner, the LP “Atlantic Crossing”, a reissue of a rare privately released cassette recorded by the Bayerischer Rundfunk, from 1988
Traces du Hasard
In Timo van Luijk's own words: This album is a bit of an accumulation of coincidences. It is the first recording session I did with Kris Vanderstraeten, back in 1994, together with Daniel Duchamp and Luis Ferin. The session recording had since disappeared from attention and 30 years later, while going through old DAT tape archives, I came across it by chance, initially even not knowing who/what it was...The tape started with a recording of cars, captured from my balcony in Brussels, where I live…
Arrival
Big Tip! Not to be confused with the In Camera who had a couple of post-PiL releases on 4AD in the 80s, this In Camera is the work of Christoph Heemann and Timo Van Luijk. Four years after they got Lost in Spice they reached the point of Arrival. An altar on the surface of the water is burning with flames. Behind it you can see a half of the Earth's globe, and on it there’s a bright throne. A pale, translucent ruler wearing a crown sits in the throne. The globe is surrounded by a ball of shadow…
μP RPF78
Big tip! *2025 repress. 250 copies limited edition* An anthology of the intensely arresting work of Robert Fesler (1936-2023), revealing many of his compositions (1975 -1987) created with his self-built synthesizers, with as pinnacle the μP RPF78. All music composed and recorded by Robert Fesler at his home on rue Cour Boisacq in Bierges, Belgium.With profound simplicity and devotion, Fesler paints a hermetic inner world with strong emotions of confronting solitude, sensual alienation and trauma…
Passages... À Travers Le Temps
Octavian Nemescu's music doesn't perform - it initiates. This Metaphon collection reveals Romania's spectral mystic at his most profoundly timeless, where bees' wings and synthesizer drones become pathways to the inaudible."
