Fundstück September 02
Asmus Tietchens is a sound artist and composer from Hamburg, Germany. He got interested in Musique Concrete by listening to a German radio programme when he was 10 years old. In 1965, at the age of 18, Asmus started experimenting with tape loops and turned them into musical collages. Soon, the use of synthesizers was added. In 1980 his debut album Nachtstücke was released, produced by Peter Baumann of Tangerine Dream. This was soon followed by a series of albums of electronic pop music for the S…
Found Keys
Found Keys is the debut album by American artist Ruth Maine. Although Ruth has been playing and composing music for over two decades, this is the first time she decided to record some of her varied compositions and share them with the public. But in times when it is the norm to clamour for attention, she prefers to go the opposite way. Ruth likes to let her music speak for itself and stay in the shadows.
The 16 short piano pieces heard on this album, each about two to three minutes long, were re…
Flint
In the years since the founding of Past Inside the Present, label head zakè (aka Zach Frizzell) has collaborated with an extensive roster of heavy-hitting ambient experimentalists, chief among which are From Overseas (aka Kévin Séry) and the legendary James Bernard. On Flint, these three artists make clear their well-developed bond, as they build vivid, organic worlds from an intuitive understanding of each other’s strengths, processes, and tonalities.
Opening track, “Conifer”, emerges with a de…

Led by the visionary Adi Newton, Clock DVA remains one of the most enigmatic and shape-shifting acts to emerge from Sheffield. Their catalog spans mutant funk, noir…
Open Soul

The original version is rarely available on the market, and when it does sell for over US$1000, it's no exaggeration to say that it's the ultimate collector's edition that everyone wants at least once! Starting with the epic and groovy funk "Open Soul" (B1) that uses the entire B-side of the record and lasts over 20 minutes, the super…

Les Éphémères
First ever release. The record is accompanied by a 24-page booklet illustrated with Knud Viktor’s photos, as well as an extensive essay. Only a few weeks ago, with their incredible 10", rescueing long lost works by the artists, Lene Adler Petersen, we were singing the praises of the Institute for Danish Sound Archaeology, one of our favorite imprints in the contemporary landscape of sound. Over the last couple of years, with an array of releases by Knud Viktor, Henning Christiansen, Per Norgard,…
Moonbuilding Summer 2025 (How Did We Get Here?) (Magazine + CD)
Good lord, Moonbuilding Issue 6 has taken its sweet time. But don’t look at us, this handsome A5 zine has a mind of its own. Magic like this is out of our hands. Or as ABC’s ‘Poison Arrow’ put it, “she comes when she comes”. But it’s here. Finally. And anyway, in the grand scheme it’s best not to ask how it’s happened, but how quickly you can get your hands on a copy.
So what have we got? Well, taking pole position on the cover of the Summer 2025 issue is the utterly unique Loula Yorke. In our b…
The Magic Of Ju-Ju
Opening with the 18+ minute track of the same name, Archie Shepp’s ‘The Magic of Ju-Ju’ takes on a fevered pace as the centrepiece of this date from 1968. Shepp lets loose from the beginning as he’s joined by Beaver Harris, Norman Connor, Ed Blackwell, Frank Charles and Dennis Charles, all on percussion. The initial pace never dissipates throughout the title-track’s run. The additional tracks on Magic of Ju-Ju are a departure from the first, sitting more in a traditional realm. The album is a va…
Ston Elaióna
John Also Bennett’s Ston Elaióna forms an elegantly rigorous world of electroacoustic sonority, bridging the expanse of time with the immediacies of environment and happening in the here and now: a profound sonic mediation on the countless dimensions unlocked by life in Greece.
Trash Can Lamb
Blending analog synths, bit-reduced samples, piano, bass, sax, and field recordings, Keith Freund crafts evocative, shape-shifting pieces where DIY electronic textures meet wistful acoustic melodies, capturing a unique, homespun atmosphere between experimentation and warmth
Throwing Shapes
*300 copies limited edition* From the innovative visionaries Méabh McKenna, Ross Chaney, and WRWTFWW mainstay Gareth Quinn Redmond emerges Throwing Shapes—the self-titled debut album of a genre-defying new project set to captivate listeners worldwide. Throwing Shapes is a mesmerising, sonically rich exploration that artfully blends tradition with experimentation.
At the heart of the album lies the evocative timbre of the Irish wire-strung harp, masterfully played and reimagined within modern con…
Glass Band
"We have here three musicians with such a rich shared history that they might as well share the same blood. Each an accomplished solo artist in their own right, there’s a vibrant track record of collaborative work as well, with others and among themselves. The Gunn-Truscinski Duo has been a formal going concern for nearly a decade and a half, producing a fabulous string of albums for this label. Truscinski and Nace, along with Jake Meginksy, make up xo4, a group dating back to the early days of …
I Keep My Diamond Necklace in a Pond of Sparkling Water
From the tranquil waters of High Falls, NY, Gryphon Rue's latest work weaves ceramic flute, field recordings, and sounds from three continents into extended environmental abstraction. Moving beyond "miniature trances," this immersive album channels Curran, Hassell, and Behrman's legacy.
Le Petit Duc
Le Petit Duc [The Little Scops Owl] is a sound work by Danish artist Knud Viktor, made between 1978 and 1983. Viktor was classically trained as a painter at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in the 1950’s. Le Petit Duc is primarily composed of recordings Viktor made of an owls nest in the spring and summer of 1978. Narrated by Viktor himself and put together from recordings throughout a whole nesting season, Le Petit Duc tells the story of an owl family. The piece speaks to children and adul…

Sister
Received a 9.8 rating on Pitchfork. “Let’s get something straight. There is no album in the entire corpus of indie rock—not Loveless, not Surfer Rosa, not Psychocandy—that reaches the heights of invention, joy, and magic of Sonic Youth’s sublime fifth album.... The haunted reveries of Sister remain with you for years, even if you only hear them once…. Sister is the sonic manifestation of refracted light. It’s a record that changes you.” —Stereogum
One of Sonic Youth’s most beloved albums, 19…
