Transition

Limited coloured vinyl LP + MP3 download code (comes in different coloured vinyl, we cannot guarantee which one you will receive)* Stockholm's Havenaire follows up a series of head-turning ambient releases on the likes of Shimmering Moods, Polar Seas and Glacial Movements with a limited new long player on Past Inside The Present. Across six slowly shifting soundscapes he layers up his misty-eyed chords into music that is designed to empty your mind but that also gently s…
Il Trionfo Della Morte
Italian, French-speaking and blessed with a Belgian accent Christophe Clébard brings a coherence that prevails both for his person and for his music: a wobbly mound, which sometimes resembles a series of explosions, sometimes a pile of layers cut by a flood of words from which parts can be distinguished. Relying on the amplified intonation of a saturated microphone, a pounding rhythm box and a synthesizer, his performances absorb the hearing to spit it out in a universe where nothing has any mea…
Electric Rust
To decay is also to transform. Rusting metal is the visible traces of passing time, as the oxidation process accumulates dampness in our atmosphere and imprints it as unpredictable patterns onto hard iron and steel. Working in construction for a year now, Kensho Nakamura sees rust all the time, clambering up ageing chunks of material. Normally discarded as waste, Nakamura began discerning beauty in the phenomenon, organically spiralling around and consuming some of the very hardest of manufactur…
Back To The Body
The journey from trauma to healing and understanding inspired Andrew Oda’s beautiful new album: "Back To The Body". More delicate and plaintive than his previous work, but no less adventurous in its broad palette of synthetic and acoustic sounds, this music is the topography of a descent into the wisdom of the body, “as frightening and unsafe as it may feel” as the composer puts it. A sweet piano, a gently plucked guitar, and a mournful cello sit alongside garbled synth melodies, rustling field …
Districts, Roads, Open Space
“With my return to Warrington and Runcorn”, says Gordon Chapman-Fox, “The music began to reflect the social isolation of New Towns life. This was mirrored by its creation through two years of pandemic lockdown.“The music is perhaps the loneliest and most spacious I have created so far - the Open Spaces in the album title taking on multiple interpretations. The focus and feel of the album is not inspired by the architecture of new towns, but the lives lived in them. I think the precise planning n…
People & Industry
Tip! ** CD version, includes two bonus tracks ** Gordon Chapman-Fox returns to Castles in Space with a second volume of stately electronica from his Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan project.“The album picks up where the first left off, really. Musically", explains Gordon. "People & Industry" was recorded back to back with "Interim Report, March 1979". There is a progression in the sound, but it's definitely cut from the same cloth as the first album. It still very much exists in this…
Interim Report, March 1979
“Interim Report, March 1979” by Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan is Gordon Chapman Fox’s hymn and homage to the brutalist beauty of Cheshire’s designated new towns of Warrington and Runcorn.Chapman-Fox grew up in Lancashire, and having been a frequent user of the famous Preston Bus Station in his youth, he was struck by the enormous chasm between the sixties architects utopian vision for what new towns should be and the sticky-floored, piss-streaked reality. He explains: “The more I …

Nachthorn
Nachthorn, for midi-controlled organNachthorn takes its name from one of the 78 stops that make up the main organ in St. Antonius Church in Düsseldorf. This instrument, equipped with a system developed by the German company Sinua, offers the possibility of controlling all of its keyboards and timbres via a computer. The organ thus becomes a powerful synthesiser. This set-up allowed me to fulfil an old dream of mine : to create an entirely acoustic dance music piece with the organ as sole actor. …
Übungen zum Ent-Entfernen
The Switzerland based duo Butterland (Regina Dürig and Christian Müller) works in the field of story and sound, their poetical and sculptural pieces seek a mutual approach to narration and reduction.

Some of their works focus on exceptional encounters with the audience, like the Little Literary Studio 2017, the Soirées Festi –stories, sounds & dinner– 2015 or the Goodnight Salon 2013. Many Butterland pieces have been shown …
Vague
The duo appearing on "VAGUE" is Scillia Lorage and Kiko.C.Esseiva. The encounter between them gave birth to this project in springtime 2008 in which their intentions lie in experimental free improvisation. On this recording, Kiko C. Esseiva played live tape manipulations and Scillia Lorage weaves, with her voice, sounds that are manipulated live on her sampler. With spontaneity, they attempt to build soundscapes and sounds character; sometimes by walking on eggs, some other times trying to save …
