In Between
2020 release ** Limited edition of 200 copies. "Sound pulses and pale metallic clangs, thin percussive incisions, impalpable high notes broken by thundering and flaying industrial noises. This powerful work by Gianluca Becuzzi breaks down the barrier between the “inside” and the “outside”. As in the third law of correspondence what is above is below, what is below is above, the barriers are broken down, the rhythm deconstructs and annihilates, they are explosions of a Tancredi Parmeggiani with d…
Good Sound
2009 release ** "This is an early collaboration of Multi-award-winning Icelandic cellist Hildur Guðnadóttir (Oscar, Grammy etc. for the original scores of Joker, Chernobyl etc.) and Dirk Dresselhaus (Schneider TM, die ANGEL, Locust Fudge, faust etc.) who met each other at Club Transmediale 2004 in Berlin and started to hang out, party, play boccia and record electroacoustic improv-sessions at Dirk’s Construction Site Studio. Their extended experimentations led to a combination of Hildur’s skills…
Abandoned In Sleep
2009 release ** "Infinite Greyscale is delighted to present a new long-form composition by Anduin. Since 2008, Jonathan Lee has been releasing beguiling and dusky cinematic music to great acclaim. Last Days of Montrose House is a deeply impressionistic work that’s constantly changing scene and perspective. Like entering a long abandoned building, it suggests both physical space and the unknown.  The sound of a projector rolls to a foreboding rumble that invites the listener into a smoky, wide sc…
Agents At Midnight
2006 release ** "Agents at Midnight, eh? Sounds like the kind of film noir title Barry Adamson might like. But the music doesn't: it's a collection of raw, powerful improvisations for saxophone (Chang) and electronics (and harmonica) (Howard), a fine example of how the fences that used to separate Noise and Improv have been bulldozed into the dirt by the younguns across the pond (and a few of them here in Europe too). Chang's playing – alto sax, is it? not always easy to tell for sure – is rough…
Psychotic Reactions & Lightnin' Rag
2004 release ** "Here an hybrid instrumentation entangling blues and electro-acoustic music re-plays for us the complete history of recorded music. There is no deferred time between the instrument being played and the reworking of the recording parameters. All movements are connected in real time, as close as possible to the body. Hands on the tapes, fingers on the strings, fresh blood is springing, free from conventions, as if to abolish the principle of separation our society is built on. It’s…
Noise \ ... [Lärm]
2002 release ** "noise\ ... [lärm] consists of five performances from the avant-garde ensemble for compositions created by three Noise musicians: the legendary Masami Akita (who performs on his two compositions, "Crack Groove" & "Yahowa Stackridge"), the equally as legendary Zbigniew Karkowski (responsible for "Monochromy" & "White," the latter of which Karkowski remixes), & Dror Feiler (responsible for "L'extension du domaine de la lutte")."

It is an institutor and ideologist of international annual Noise vs. Glamour festival and Electroindustry label and Secret Assembly music events in which the different stars of Russian and foreign electronic music take part.

The Quartet
Huge tip! It is a huge honour to announce the publication of Peter Brotzmann’s final concerts on Otoroku. When we invited Peter to do a residency at Cafe OTO back in February 2023 we had no idea these would be his last ever shows and he played with such power it would have been hard for anyone present to believe he would never play publicly again. Recorded over two nights this grouping of Jason Adasiewicz on vibraphone, John Edwards on bass and Steve Noble on drums feels especially resonant and …

The Happy Dragon Band
2025 stock A one man band born in the mid 70’s in Detroit, MI, The Happy Dragon Band is the brain child of Thomas Court. A studio wiz, synth pioneer and electronic music professor. After releasing one private press LP he went on to other pursuits and the obligatory obscurity followed. This is truly a one of a kind mashup of early analog synths, Floydian psych ballads, and even some proto new wave and reggae. The record received its first ever reissue and wide release for Record Store Day 2023, a…
