Hardly anything is known about the person behind the pseudonym Anom Vitruv. The artist who has previously released music on UK techno label Tabernacle Records and Los Angeles-based experimental powerhouse Total Stasis, among other outlets, chooses to remain anonymous and lets his music speak for itself. Over more than a decade, the Switzerland-based musician has carefully constructed a body of work that is closely interlinked with his public perception: Always vague, elusive, and thus open. Anom…
As Bright As A Burning Star – Live at B-Sides 2024
Grown through collaboration, Samuel Savenberg’s EP As Bright as a Burning Star stands for a music that evolves and becomes newly tangible in the very moment of performance.
The live EP captures a concert by Savenberg and his band, recorded at the 2024 B-Sides Festival on Sonnenberg near Lucerne. In this setting, the concert with his close musical companions takes on a life distinct from the studio recordings it draws upon, casting the music in a new light: more immediate, vibrant, and warmer.

Two Pianos and String Trio
Ahead of a double LP release scheduled for 2024, Samuel Reinhard shares two new chamber pieces, written for piano and strings and recorded in a former church in Copenhagen. The two works unfold slowly, the possibility of stillness lapping at the edges of each gently rendered note. “Moments of silence are okay,” the score reassures its performers. “They are welcome.” Reinhard’s experiments of late have brought to the fore the environmental and digital textures that arise when various instruments …
Juni
Finding herself in different emotional and physical spaces over the past years, The Hague-based Seina creates four ambiguous tracks for Juni, her debut EP out on Präsens Editionen. The material, which comfortably sits between ambient, glitch and noise, feels like a long-overdue update of Mille Plateaux and Raster-Noton's golden days. The result, however, is much richer in texture and much more sensual than these dinosaurs of electronic music. On Juni, Seina, who has a background in electroacoust…
The Ring Orchestra
2025 stock The Ring Orchestra is an eight-person effort, a collective coming together to tackle opera and one of the genre’s controversial poster boys. In 18 compositions, the artists Born in Flamez, Gil Schneider, Simonne Jones, Leo Luchini, Legion Seven, P.A. Hülsenbeck, Isa GT, and Ixa create a collaborative musical score that uses Richard Wagner’s Der Ring des Nibelungen as the point of departure. Far from being an affirmative tribute, the orchestra sets out to deconstruct and break down wha…
Kapriole
2025 stock After working in music theatre, sound art and performance contexts, Kapriole is the debut album by Zurich- and Hamburg-based artist Leo Hofmann. Central to the album, which refers in its title to a joyous jump (in classical horse riding as much as in life in general), is the ambition to translate an ephemeral practice into recorded matter. Fixed but never static, Kapriole is informed by intimate and detailed listening situations and sound practices like ASMR or the acoustically shelte…
Seven Dances To Embrace The Hollow
On their debut album Seven Dances to Embrace the Hollow, Zurich-based artists Magda Drozd and Nicola Genovese, as Sopraterra, offer exactly what’s announced: seven compositions which, as they unhurriedly flow into each other, mark potential entry points to discover what might be lying underneath. By choosing Sopraterra, which translates to “above the earth” in Italian, as their shared project’s name, Drozd and Genovese indicate their own position in this archeological-looking endeavor, hinting a…
Balance
2025 stock The new album of Swiss artist Martina Lussi joins what no longer is conjoined. Conceived and realized over a period marked by changes in both the private sphere and the world at large, none of which were thinkable before, Balance brings together the before and after. “Fragments of Attention” is the fulcrum of the album: it separates the first half, written before Covid, from the second, composed during the lockdown. The six-minute track serves as a rupture and bridge between a career …
Economy And Failure
2025 stock Brendan Dougherty’s LP Economy and Failure is a work stemming from two tumultuous years for the artist: births, deaths and other big changes. The music was made in hotel rooms, airports, cafes and various studios using a basic setup of laptop and headphones.In contrast to Dougherty’s 2016 LP Sensate (Entr’acte), which used heavy synth patterns to create jittering rhythmic pulses without drum sounds, Econ-omy and Failure sees the drums return on longer arrangements that bear some re-se…
Walls, Corridors, Baffles
2025 stock Walls, Corridors, Baffles is the debut album of Swiss musician and producer Samuel Savenberg aka S S S S. Following various releases on Haunter Records, aufnahme+wiedergabe, and LUX Records, the LP tries to find an approach to an artistic expression beyond tropes of darkness, harshness and excess.
The aesthetic of Walls, Corridors, Baffles is radically and uncompromisingly sober. Instead of treating the sound with an abstract, conceptual or symbolic overlay, Savenberg emphasizes its m…
A Replica Screams
Welcoming elusive Japanese guitarist, Kouhei Fukuzumi, for his 3rd solo full-length as Ultrafog. ‘A Replica Screams’ emerges as a collection of drifting memories, a chain reaction of unique combinations of elements already present in the World. It embraces the idea that existence itself is positively shaped by serendipity and meaningful coincidences, and that we are all falling together, in time, and on time. The vinyl edition contains an original artwork poster presenting João Bragança Gil’s ‘T…
Why I Went To The Woods
With "Why I Went To The Woods", I retreated once again into my hauntological dream worlds. With the woods being the place one traditionally goes to clear one's head, I went there with these recordings to fortify myself with a deliberate rejection of the Now. Inspired equally by both the fictional filmed landscapes of psychedelic folk - the bucolic British countryside of the 1960s and 1970s which, though I've never witnessed in real life, still fill me with an inexplicable melancholic yearning to…
Creature Comforts
I started recording "Creature Comforts" with 'Allegiance' on the night of November 4th, as the election results were coming in. I found myself craving lullabies, but ugly and reflective ones, that saw the world with an acute sense of horror and bewilderment and bereavement. Lullabies that didn't protect me from these feelings - or rather did protect me, but did so through immersion. I finished recording on March 10th of 2025. Visual inspiration came from a series of mixed-media works by my gifte…
How Much Can We Understand
*2025 stock* "Fero Király's How Much Can We Understand maps out some of the foggy territory where technological systems intersect with organic complexity. The album's two sidelong tracks were generated using “a cellular automaton with code 357”, a computational model where simple rules applied to a grid of cells produce intricate evolving patterns that echo the inexplicability of natural phenomena. The result is as much a feat of cold engineering as a tender ode to musical minimalism. On side on…
Exotic Animals
DJ Himitsu is a Tokyo-born, London-based producer and DJ, known for his understated approach and deep knowledge of Japanese vinyl and book culture. Following a debut EP of acid house on Australian imprint Lunatic Music in 2023, 'Exotic Animals' marks a new waypoint in Himitsu's artistic evolution.
On this debut full length, driving 303 basslines and kickdrums are traded in for obscure recordings and convoluted samples, which spiral and fuse to form shuffling, heady new compositions. Like shatter…
Red Sky At Night
The Natural Yogurt Band returns from the rolling Derbyshire hills with an enthralling new album that redefines their unique sound. Known for their signature blend of raw neo-library and exotica grooves, the band now adds an innovative electronic twist, broadening their sonic palette while staying true to their eclectic roots. This record invites listeners into a richly textured soundscape where soulful string synths soar above playful modular chirps and crunchy electric pianos. Each track is car…
Ring of Spheres
*300 copies limited edition* Portuguese ritual ambient entity Wolfskin returns with Ring of Spheres, a transcendental new work that expands the project’s long-standing devotion to metaphysical sound into cosmic territory. Conceived as a meditative and transformative journey, Ring of Spheres distills the essence of ritual music to its purest form: vibration, resonance, and spiritual ascent. Recorded across a series of focused sessions with gongs and analog electronics, Ring of Spheres marks one o…
Oastar
*300 copies limited edition* Oastar marks the long-awaited third manifestation of O Saala Sakraal, the ceremonial vessel guided by nOh v°v (of Trepaneringsritualen and Norn) and Sunnifa St. Álander (of Hadewych). Recorded in the aftermath of the discovery and subsequent destruction of an ancient solar temple by local authorities in the eastern region of Hamaland, a land still shadowed by the enduring influence of the Church, this new work channels both lament and invocation.
Amidst these events,…
The Monster Which Makes Dawn
Japanese film-maker, pianist and composer Norio brings arresting folkloristic imagery to sonic life, for London imprint Swims. Featuring vocalist Satomimagae (RVNG Intl.).
"About 'The monster which makes dawn': I create documentary films. Traveling across Japan and beyond, I immerse myself in the everyday lives of different places, weaving the fragments I gather into a single story back in my hometown. When I visit these places, I often find a gap between what I imagined and what truly exists. D…
