Morton Feldman’s Rothko Chapel is a hushed yet monumental soundscape that resonates with the spiritual austerity of Mark Rothko’s paintings. Combining solo viola, voices, celesta, and percussion, the LP explores silence and timbre with a reverence that transforms listening into a meditative experience, while the composition For Frank O'Hara offers a tender lyrical counterpoint to its profound stillness.

Experience the extraordinary sonic journey of Terry Riley like never before with Live In Paris, 1975, an exclusive release from France Musique FM.

Sissy Spacek’s Non-Linear detonates the idea of narrative from within, stitching decades of raw sessions and volatile improvisations into a panoramic fever-dream. Restlessly shape-shifting, the album spirals through states of collapse and acceleration, refusing to settle - a radical archive of noise at its most ungovernable.

zakè’s deep attachment to the seasons of the Midwest, along with his intuitive approach to sound creation, has led to a deep and varied body of analog ambient drone recordings across the past ten years. Many of his albums take on the forms and colors of the space in which they are heard, but others convey something more fleeting and indefinable, far beyond the five senses. Cantus for Winter in Six Parts creates a space for comfort, contemplation, nostalgia, and longing; a moment of stillness tha…

"When I came to New York City in 1975, after my second period in Paris, I felt as if I was starting again. I didn’t have a band at that time. The Black Artists Group had broken up, or separated—well, it wasn’t much of a “break-up,” but we had come to our musical end, even though one of the last groups I had before returning to New York was with BAG member Baikida Carroll playing trumpet, Peter Warren on bass, and Oliver Johnson on drums. I was basically by myself. I felt eager and anxious to see…

*50 copies limited edition. 8xtapes, book, thumb drive, hand printed postcard, hand-printed cassette artwork, two short essays* Eric Lunde’s recorded output began in the late 1980s, and many of his early releases are long out of print.

"Whether Camila Nebbia is freely improvising or playing originals that toggle between poetic rumination and fiery blowing, she is all in. With "A reflection distorts over water" she’s formed one of the most febrile, elastic ensembles in a very prolific career, uniting with two of the strongest improvisers in the US: veteran pianist Marilyn Crispell and rising percussionist Lesley Mok. The new trio set up at Nevessa Studio without any prior rehearsal. They played Mok’s composition “Longing” while…

This 2-CD box is comprised of two albums originally intended for release on ABC's Impulse Records but never issued.

Evidence has remixed the original four-track tapes down to two-track stereo. Former Impulse Records head Ed Michel wrote the notes, which chronicle the short, strange histor…
