"Finnish experimental veteran Mika Vainio has kept up a brisk output of new music as of late. In the second half of last year, he put out collaborative albums with Joachim Nordwall and Stephen O'Malley, and on the solo front came Kilo, an arresting set of fierce, heavy rhythms reminiscent of his work in Pan Sonic. Vainio's latest solo effort is Konstellaatio, an atmospheric and often-poignant journey from his legendary Ø project.
Konstellaatio is Ø's first proper full-length since 2008's Oleva, …
The second in a series of posthumous Mika Vainio releases on Säkhö, celebrating the work of a true, electronic music visionary. The tracks on Kiteet, released under Vainio’s Ø alias, were initially written for the 1997 Snow-Crash exhibition in Milan but never used. Five of the eight tracks found their way onto later albums, three have never been released anywhere. As you would expect from an artist with Vainio’s immense stature and pioneering legacy, Kiteet is a mesmerising listen, built from so…
Angel Tears in Sunlight is Pauline Anna Strom’s first album in over thirty years; an assemblage of music that refracts the expansiveness, and minutiae, of imagined realms while embracing the kaleidoscopic echoes of our distant epochs.
The capacity to collapse time might elucidate the enigma of Pauline Anna Strom. A mystic force in music, emerging during the dawn of new age as the Trans-Millenia Consort, the pioneering synthesist channelled primordial energies into future-facing sound through a s…

Rex is a solo cello record written and recorded while I’ve been living in the former home of Rex Brasher, a self-taught painter who created over 1,200 watercolors of North American birds. Composed for acoustic and electric cello, the record reflects the solitude and intensity that shaped both Brasher’s vision and my own process. Rex is not a portrait, but an echo—of a person, a place, and a way of seeing the world. Thank you to Matthew, Munawar, Cynthia & the RBA for the place, support, and gene…
*100 copies limited edition* We are repentlessly thrilled to bring you the first reissue of Tercer Milenio, probably the best hard rock/heavy prog album released in the prolific Argentina 70’s scene. This is a more mature and tighter effort compared to Orion’s Beethoven’s debut Superangel that places them in the spotlight of heavy prog/proto metal. The album’s opening blaster Amistades Desparejas establishes very clear expectations about what is to follow: a tapestry of scorching riffs and acid-…

Recorded live at Maya in Kobe on 15 September 1991 - with only Mayuko Hino on electronics and voice and Hiroshi Hasegawa on synthesizer and electronics - Reflexive Universe strips C.C.C.C. to its core and finds, in that reduction, something more concentrated and more volatile than the full ensemble.
The choice of John C. Lilly's CCCC as a name pointed toward a practice in which sound was genuinely conceived as a system of feedback …
On Chandler and Dickow Play Fischer, David Chandler and Paul Dickow treat Marcus Fischer’s graphic scores as a lab problem rather than a script, using tracing paper, chalk, piezo styli, EEG data and a 1970s modular synth to probe what it means to “play” an image without simply projecting themselves onto it.
On Mount Mansfield, Sam Boston and Shawn O’Sullivan turn a Vermont peak into both instrument and score, binding bent lapsteel and analog feedback into a slow‑growing, topographic drone where static contour becomes living, verdant resonance.
With Notebook, Lukas Ligeti turns a band, a method and a score into the same thing: four pieces where intricate design and on‑the‑spot decision‑making fuse into chamber music that thinks aloud in real time.
In La ragazza e il generale, Ennio Morricone threads anti‑war irony through bittersweet melodies and marching figures, mixing folk‑tinged themes, choral snatches and tense orchestration into a score where tenderness and absurdity share the same battlefield.
Tracing Basalt in the Onsernone Valley by Pablo Diserens and Ludwig Berger transforms the Swiss valley’s basalt terrain into a living instrument, blending environmental recordings and experimental acoustics into a meditative portrait of place and presence.
Returning to Die Schachtel with his fourth full-length with the label, the Genoa born, Bologna based, guitarist and electroacoustic composer, Stefano Pilia, delivers “Lacinia”, a new, immersive cycle of compositions, delving deeper into the realm of metaphysical, spiritual, and divine meaning, weaving astounding arrangements of sonority from a palette of synths, strings, brass, organ, various electroacoustic instruments, and percussion. Resting at a refined intersection of the acoustic and elect…
"Young Predictions" discloses the notes of Cypriot painter Polys Peslikas, written between 2018 and 2025. These fragments—gathered in orbit around paintings made over the same period—reflect openly on the canon of painting both as a revered structure and an unruly and obscenely private, testimonial act. The book invites poet and writer Penelope Ioannou into an exchange with the material, her own notes slipping between Peslikas’ as a result of being granted entry into his canvases. Text and paint…

Masayo Koketsu and Nava Dunkelman met for the first time in this studio session. Koketsu’s inventive use of extended techniques and breath-infused wails filled the space with an experimental intensity. Dunkelman responded with a finely woven tapestry of percussive textures, her delicate rhythms binding their sounds together. Her sensitivity to nuance allowed Koketsu’s raw cries to blend effortlessly, as if the two had long shared a musical language. Their exchange was both electric and restraine…
Between innocence and anger, a record of witness. Pharoah Chromium is the project of German-Palestinian musician and sonic performer Ghazi Barakat. With Chronicles from the Arab Cold War Pharoah Chromium continues his long-standing engagement with the Palestinian cause, following Gaza (LP, self-released 2015) and Jean Genet à Chatila (7”, self-released 2018).
