Larme Secrete
* 2 LPS, gatefold cover, cut at 45rpm. With 3 bonus tracks exclusive for this vinyl edition * “Larme secrète” is the result of an astonishing encounter between a minimal and discreet musician attracted as much by Erik Satie as he is by various pop classics, and a poet/performer who has worked with Lydia Lunch, Genesis P-Orridge , Michael Gira as well as Alan Vega. Pascal Comelade et Marc Hurtado (Étant Donnés) are two important figures of a french underground and alternative music scene which h…
Inexplicable Hours
Inexplicable Hours is the sequel of the successful Kevin Drumm 6CD box 'Elapsed Time' also released by Sonoris last year. The first record documents a new direction in his music, with some of his last electroacoustic experimentations with audio generators, field recordings and various electronic devices. The second one explores the same ambient/drone territories as the boxset, but less static and more complex than it appears after a superficial listening. And as always with recent KD's music, a …
Cold Drinks, Hot Dreams
LP pressed at RTI. Tip-on jacket printed at Stoughton Printing Co. Atrás del Cosmos have been called Mexico’s first free jazz ensemble. Founded in 1975 by pianist Ana Ruiz, saxophonist Henry West, and percussionist Evry Mann, the trio soon became a central force in Mexico City’s creative arts community, mentoring a generation of improvisers, incorporating a revolving cast of artists into their immersive happenings, and sustaining a scene through their legendary weekly performances at El Galeón t…

Aphorisms
** 140g 2xLP pressed at RTI. Gatefold tip-on jacket printed at Stoughton Printing Co. Mastered by Stephan Mathieu. ** “All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone.” —Pascal Graham Lambkin (of Shadow Ring fame) returns with a long awaited epic double LP, Aphorisms, his first major solo outing since Community (Kye, 2016). Recorded mostly during the early winter months of 2022, in post-pandemic New York and post-Brexit London, Aphorisms assembles the sonic d…
Salmon Run
Salmon Run (Kye, 2007) is an exercise in listening, a contemplation of the sounds that permeate everyday life. In Salmon Run, available now on LP for the first time, Graham Lambkin's field recordings are profoundly democratic, collecting bits of classical music playing in the background, remnants of domestic routines and childrearing, and bird calls, chimes, and rushing water alike. The resulting fragments, manipulated and assembled by Lambkin, form a strikingly intimate sonic assemblage -- an e…
The Shadow Ring 1992-2002
A comprehensive overview of the work produced by British musicians Graham Lambkin, Darren Harris, and later Tim Goss over the course of a decade, across eleven CDs and a DVD, accompanied by an nearly five-hundred-page book.
Non si sevizia un paperino
Transparent red vinyl format / 180 grams, limited edition numbered to 500 copies. The soundtrack for “Non si Sevizia un Paperino” (1972), composed by Riz Ortolani for Lucio Fulci’s giallo masterpiece, is a work of extraordinary intensity and contrast. Ortolani, a master at balancing melodic beauty with unsettling atmospheres, perfectly captures the essence of a film that blends mystery and violence with the innocence of a small Southern Italian village. The film, one of Lucio Fulci’s most acclai…
May 99
Tip! Black vinyl, with silkscreen and insert. In the spring of 1999, Charles Curtis, Alan Licht, and Dean Roberts brought an unconventional mix of drone, improvisation, and experimental rock on an eleven-stop tour of Europe. The concept was straightforward, yet novel: each night, they would improvise a single piece while sustained sine waves played for the duration of the concert. May 99, culled from three shorter pieces recorded for a radio program at Amsterdam’s VPRO near the end of the tour, …
The Radio - Airria (Hanging Garden) - Vein Stem is Calm
* Limited LP edition * Sonoris is pleased to announce the release both on vinyl and cd, with a new mastering by Giuseppe Ielasi, of some important works from the influential and respected artist Steve Roden. These tracks, which mix conceptual composition and musicality, transcend the ambient or lowercase categories too quickly applied to his music, due to its ghostly beauty. In the tradition of John Cage’s Cartridge Music amplified objects, Steve Roden extracts a fine and delicate music through …

From saxophone & trombone
Tip! First vinyl re-issue of Evan Parker’s duo with George Lewis. Transferred from the original masters, we discovered that the original Incus LP was cut at the wrong speed - and so, we present the first vinyl issue of the correct masters, or ‘mastas’ as Adam Skeaping, legendary engineer who is also responsible for Six of One and Compatibles, fondly calls them.
Skeaping, always working with the latest in recording technology for the time, has a knack for gaining access to remarkable spaces. Goo…
