And the tenor saxophonist and soprano Evan Parker with whom Marteau Rouge had already recorded a CD, “ LIVE”, the year before, released by In Situ in 2009.Hammer Rouge is a trio focused in the tellurical, electric noise with Pauvros’s saturated and electrocuted guitar …

Complete Works
300 copies, deluxe box set. Australian experimental industrial and ambient music band from the early 1980s Laughing Hands complete discography with several bonus. Laughing Hands worked in the experimental music scene in Melbourne in the very early 1980s. They were an improvisation group using tapes, synthesizers, guitar and hand percussion much of which was then treated through machines, producing their soft, insistent and rhythmic sound. The members of seminal Melbourne-based improvising exper…
Nemico Immaginario
Nemico Immaginario is the sound of Fanciullino taking the idea of a band back to its most fragile, volatile core: two people in a room, a guitar, a drum kit, nothing to hide behind. Born from the encounter between Andrea Del Bravo and Davide Cappai, the duo treats this minimal setup not as a limitation but as an ethical position - if something happens, it must pass through bodies, sticks, strings, skin. Every hit and chord is traceable to a gesture, to the microsecond in which one player chooses…
Per Samie
Per Samie captures Matias Guerra, Valerio Leg, and Falco Baldaya in a single, fragile orbit around a plant wired as a silent listener, an improvisation where every sound feels like an offering and every pause like shared breath.
Day Hospital
Day Hospital began not in a studio, but between a hospital bed and whatever lies just beyond it - that blurred zone where time dilates, bodies stall, and thought starts looping on itself. Out of that suspended space, Copycat Department shapes a sound project that treats techno and experimental music as twin methods for charting vulnerability and resistance. The album’s tracks feel written in the margins of medical charts: pulses like monitors, hissing textures like ventilation systems, bass that…
Decollare Verso il Mare
Decollare verso il mare (“Take off towards the sea”) starts like a simple story of long-distance collaboration and ends up as a small, resonant fragment of recent history. Across three tracks created in September 2022, Dav Cappai - a Sardinian drummer based in Pisa - and Copycat Department’s Alexandr Chiesa - Italian-Russian guitarist and producer working out of Moscow - sketch the outline of a project that was meant to cross borders as easily as files move across a network. The initial idea was…
Ultras Timido 2
Six years after the first Ultras Timido, Fanciullino returns to that initial spark not to preserve it under glass, but to see what still burns. Ultras Timido 2 is less a simple reissue than a palimpsest: the original record is there, but written over, complicated and expanded by three previously unreleased pieces that trace how the duo’s repertoire has shifted in rehearsal rooms, clubs, and improvised spaces. Those added tracks don’t behave like bonuses tacked on at the end; they act as fault li…
Radials
For AI-38 Italian duo LF58 (Giuseppe Tillieci and Filippo Scorcucchi) present ‘Radials’. A site-specific concept piece that was recorded live on location in Venice, Radials showcases the powerful and transportive sound world which LF58 have become known for. Radials takes its name from the homonymous exhibition created by the Roman artist group Sbagliato, for the 2023 Biennale Architettura of Venice.
Following a landmark renovation of the Fondaco dei Tedeschi by renowned Dutch architect Rem Koo…
The Kallikatsou Recordings
180g vinyl, 2024 repress. "I’ve never met Rod Modell (Deepchord) in person, but we have met through music. He found an obscure cassette of Chi music (from ’86), sent it to Astral Industries and paved the way for the release (30 years later) of ‘The Original Recordings’ in 2016. Since then, we’ve exchanged ideas and good music. I sent Rod a preview of ‘The Kallikatsou Recordings’ - he really liked it - and here came the idea for a remix of ‘Lanterns’. I started working on some random, lo-fi sampl…
Metamorphosis
*2022 stock. In process of stocking.* Multicast Dynamics returns to Astral Industries for AI-26, this time collaborating with Sid Hille, the German born, Finland based instrumentalist and composer. ‘Metamorphosis’ transmutes both artists’ unique styles into a synergistic blend of transportive storytelling, a delicate dance of light and dark.
Divided into two parts, ’Metamorphosis’ originates from a live performance recorded at Temppeliaukio church in Helsinki on March 2nd, 2019. The material was…
Dialog
AI-31 sees the debut release from a new collaboration between Samuel van Dijk (Netherlands) and Rasmus Hedlund (Finland). Both key proponents to the scene in Northern Europe, they come together with mutual understanding and a common vision to sound. Dialog acts as a conversational exchange that sees the interplay of dynamic frequencies, evocative imagery and contemporary sonic art. Spread across four sides, the album as a whole exists as a kind of metaphysical process, eternally growing and cont…
Cardamom & Laudanum
Tip! Emerging from a thick spiralling haze, is the debut album from Mystic AM - a new project from Rod Modell and label founder Ario Farahani. Conceived as an immersive fictional soundtrack piece, the release tells the story of a traveller, some centuries ago, and the rather intense metaphysical experience he unexpectedly stumbles into whilst taking shelter on a hot desert night at Zein-o-Din Caravanserai, near Yazd in Persia. Dusk envelopes the vast barren landscape as the protagonist enters th…
Live Recordings
AI-36 comes from Ear to Ear - the debut collaboration between label regular Samuel van Dijk (Multicast Dynamics) and Ukrainian artist Yevgen Chebotarenko. Taken from a series of live recording sessions, the album explores in four parts a markedly darker realm of soundscape music. A cornucopia of abstract morphing scenes and heady synesthesia, the album brims with rich sonic detail and evocative gestures. Deftly blending organic sound textures with an experimental austerity, ‘Live Recordings’ dis…
Space Opera
Pianeti Sintetici presents AI-37, entitled ‘Space Opera’. Conceived by Italian artist Davide Perrone, the Pianeti Sintetici (“Synthetic Planets”) project hypothesises the creation of future synthetic worlds as told through sound. Although split across two parts, the album is a singular organism that narrates a journey of boundless cosmic exploration. A sonic tapestry woven of intergalactic atmospheres, Space Opera’s imaginative sound design contributes to a richly spatial and haptic experience.

Pain is on our side now
Father Murphy are back with an even more puzzling project than any other output from their recent past: two one-sided 10" containing two movements each, meant to be played simultaneously - or maybe not, because (just like they wrote in the liner notes) "you choose" and "never forget you have a choice". Recorded in the wonderful enviroment of a medieval castle in Itri and at Bombanella Soundscapes in Maranello, the EP is a concept of sorts about the many virtues of Failure and the chances we have…
Dream Is Murder
2025 stock Some people say it’s the hope that kills you, but statistically dreams are responsible for a lot more casualties. The second album from the Icelandic supergroup not only acknowledges this, but celebrates it. To dream is to slowly digest oneself from the inside.
In January 2021 the team was reunited and have since been writing, recording and releasing a new song each last Friday of the month, much like they did in 2018. »Dream is Murder« is the result – a collection of all twelve song…
Light Patterns
Big tip! *2025 repress* An early ‘80s ambient jazz gem from the archive of Manchester’s Kevin McCormick & David Horridge. In 1970, Kevin and David met whilst they were working in the Labour Exchange Office on Aytoun St, Manchester. Both played guitar and had been searching for other musicians who played atmospheric music. Kevin had been playing in small clubs in Manchester and David performed in a few local bands. One evening, they jammed together at Kevin’s family home, and quickly realized tha…
The Cosmic Tones Research Trio
Tip! Tip! Tip! On their self-titled second album, The Cosmic Tones Research Trio—featuring Roman Norfleet, Harlan Silverman, and Kennedy Verrett—dives deeper into the spiritual soundscapes that first defined their genre-defying approach. Based in Portland, Oregon, the trio crafts a transcendent listening experience rooted in both meditative stillness and rhythmic propulsion.
Blending cello, alto sax, piano, flutes, and an eclectic palette of textures and percussions, the album channels a sacred …
Studio village hototoguis 2007-2022
Matsuyama in Ehime is the birthplace of haiku, and to this day, haiku submission boxes are placed around town. Young people gather in a haiku society-like manner. In other words, they observe and contemplate well, but their approach is generally instant, casual, and somewhat careless. There is a local disposition here, which they call “yomoda” in the dialect—a blend of humor and sadness. It’s as if they pretend to agree to demands in a laid-backway, all while delaying the big decision. It’s a ma…
