Vulcanalia
On Vulcanalia, AX - the solo vehicle of Anthony Di Franco - returns after nearly three decades to his original mandate: vast, beatless torrents of guitar, feedback and electronics, now scaled up into a molten, myth‑drunk monument to Roman fire and stone.
Sounds Heard from the Moon Part 2
** Hand numbered edition of 250 ** There is a profound resonance between the practices of Nam June Paik and Park Jiha - separated by generations yet united by a shared impulse to dissolve boundaries between Korean tradition and contemporary expression. Paik, the pioneer of video art, wove shamanic ritual and Buddhist philosophy into the fabric of technological media; Park Jiha channels ancient instrumental voices through the sensibility of experimental minimalism. Both artists inhabit a liminal …

The Freedom Suite, Novoa / Carter / Mela Trio, Vol. 2
Brooklyn pianist Eva Novoa joins saxophonist Daniel Carter and drummer Francisco Mela for the second volume of The Freedom Suite, a set of twelve pieces blending piano, Rhodes, harpsichord, gongs, and vocals with Carter's multi-reed brilliance and Mela's Cuban-inflected drumming, creating an urgent, intimate, and fluidly improvised dialogue of words, sound, and fearless imagination.
Opus
In the autumn of 2022, knowing his time was running out, Ryuichi Sakamoto summoned every ounce of his remaining strength to give us one last, definitive performance. Opus is that performance - a solo piano concert capturing one of the world's greatest musicians in his most vulnerable and transcendent moment. Curated and sequenced by Sakamoto himself, the twenty pieces wordlessly tell the story of his life and his vast body of work. The selection spans his entire career: from his pop-star period …
Lagoon
New album by FLOCKS, the duo of drone specialist Werner Durand and percussionist Uli Hohmann. Musical landscapes that move between traditional as well as experimental sounds with influences from Krautrock and Jon Hassell's "fourth world" aesthetics.
6 Days in Leysin
6 Days in Leysin showcases Greg Foat in a quietly adventurous mood: drawing inspiration from the Swiss setting, he gathers a small ensemble to record original pieces defined by warmth, melodic transparency, and a delicate blend of acoustic and electronic jazz elements. The collection is a testament to Foat’s ongoing search for fresh forms in contemporary jazz, rooted in lyrical minimalism and atmospheric production.
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.
Pleasure Ground
Twenty years on, Prurient's Pleasure Ground returns in the edition it always wanted. This is the hinge record in Dominick Fernow's catalogue, the one that opened the electronic chapter of the project: the scorched power-electronics of the early years meeting synth tones, slow doom weight and the meditative cold of Nordic black metal. Recorded in a single day, 14 February 2006, it first surfaced as a self-released double cassette sold at Carlos Giffoni's No Fun Fest in New York, then arrived in s…
Den Oändliga Historien
*300 copies limited edition.* Blod, the enigmatic Swedish folk collective, announces the release of Den Oändliga Historian (The Endless Story), a new album that represents both the band's darkest exploration yet and paradoxically their most uplifting work. Recorded during spring 2025 and released on Förlag För Fri Musik (catalog number 033), the album showcases an expanded lineup featuring core members Gustaf Dicksson, Elin Engström, Julia Bjernelind, Magnus Jäverling, and Erik Ridelius, alongs…
Conal
Conal arrived in 1981 on the Norwegian independent Uniton Records, in a run of 4,000 copies, at a point when Conrad Schnitzler was long past being a German secret. The founding member of Kluster and a brief early presence in Tangerine Dream had spent the 1970s building a body of work largely outside the record industry, issuing a torrent of self-released cassettes and LPs whose titles almost all open with the syllable Con, completed by a second that points somewhere. By the start of the 1980s th…
Uranian Void
On Uranian Void, Jessika Kenney turns her ear toward the resonances of her own subconscious. Blurring sine waves, hydrophone recordings, a ghazal of Hafez, solo instruments, original texts, and voice, the album is a meditation on sound, space, and the fragile edges of perception. Kenney’s voice weaves in and out of every space perceived. Evocations of memory coalesce into compositions inspired by years of inquiry into acoustic phenomena, where shimmer and shadow are equally alive. Produced and r…
Vies Sylvestres
*200 copies limited edition* blickwinkel warmly welcomes Brussels-based composer Roxane Métayer to the label with her new album Vies Sylvestres, out on November 21 on vinyl and digital formats. The album was conceived and developed during performances and travels in Japan in 2023, where its sounds and ideas gradually came together.
Vies Sylvestres continues the direction of her previous release on Kraak, where Métayer built imagined narratives unfolding in forests or urban spaces inhabited by an…
Star Dream FM
Dylan Henner’s album "Star Dream FM" is an experimental ambient suite woven from choral textures, marimba, processed voice, and impressionistic electronics. Presented as a fictional radio transmission of Henner’s adolescence, its 41 minutes blend memory and invention, immersing listeners in shimmering sonic vignettes that blur the boundaries between personal nostalgia and collective dream.
Steady State
In a sonic dialogue that balances delicacy and depth, Clinton Green and Barnaby Oliver explore the shifting textures of acoustics and resonance. Employing bowed aluminum bowls, strings, and a grand piano, their work unfolds in patient layers that probe the very essence of sound and its environment, evoking an atmosphere of quiet tension and subtle transformation.
Solo (I)
Brooklyn-based pianist and composer Eva Novoa presents Eva Novoa Solo (I), her first solo piano recording and seventh album with 577 Records. Recorded at the legendary Sear Sound Studios in Manhattan, the album captures Novoa alone in the studio, embracing the artistic challenge of vulnerability, introspection, and creative freedom that defines the solo piano format. After several years working primarily within piano trio settings and other ensemble configurations, Novoa turned inward, embarking…
Remscéla
Milkweed’s new album draws from ‘The Táin’ Irish epic, mixing “Slacker Trad” with global sounds. Critically acclaimed, their music merges Appalachian folk, hauntology, and experimentation.
Continuation
A cascading piano improvisation by Xiu Xiu's Hyunhye Seo, recorded live during a Nam June Paik exhibition in Turin. On Side B, Japanese avant-garde pioneer Phew reinterprets Seo's performance into a new electronic landscape. Music as surrender, dialogue between performer, space and the present moment.
Hélas
On Hélas, Neoboris’s boy‑and‑girl duo turns late‑90s Bordeaux and Pau into a neon scrapbook: punk directness, wave romance, rave afterglow and variété hooks tangled in 15 songs that mourn and celebrate a love that refused to apologise.
Path of Enlightenment
Nat Birchall, saxophonist and composer, one of the most authentic voices in contemporary spiritual jazz, presents Path of Enlightenment, a sonic journey through rarely explored scales and modes, from Ethiopia to Byzantium, from ancient Egypt to South Africa.
For this new recording, Birchall deliberately chose the quartet format - tenor sax, piano, double bass and drums - seeking a cohesion and intimacy that allows the music to breathe and tell its story. Joining him are his trusted collaborators…
