Stasi
** Edition of 500 ** Being in opposition to the speed of our lives and, consequently, the speed in music, is the starting point of Populous's new work “Stasi” (english translation: stasis), which will be out on 11th June for La Tempesta Dischi. “Stasi” is, therefore, a record inspired by slow rhythms and by the hypnosis that repetitive sounds can induce. "Stasi” has been written and produced in a silent and static Salento, a suspended and meditative atmosphere, which has hijacked the direction o…
Absence
"Friday the 6th of November 2015 was an important day for me. Christian Kobi had invited me to take part in his »zoom in« festival in Bern. Earlier that day I visited the Kunst Museum, looking at the work of Cuno Amiet (1868-1961), recalling the work of an earlier Camille Pissarro, interesting contributions from Felix Vallotton (1835-1925), also an very important exhibition of how photography had influenced Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901) called “Lautrec’s Photographic Eye”.
What struck me was how …

The original album was released to critical acclaim in February of this year as a decentralized release on a multitude of labels from all corners of the world, Germany’s Dekorder being one of them. Richter is now completely reinventing the original alb…

Garden of Shadows and Light
Garden of Shadows and Light is the first collaboration between Ryuichi Sakamoto and David Toop, presenting the entirety of a concert performed in London in August 2018. With their collective musical experience encompassing collaborative work with figures as diverse as Evan Parker, Akiko Yano, Arto Lindsay and Christian Fennesz, in contexts ranging from pop session work to film scores to sound installation, no one could be sure how Sakamoto and Toop would approach their first concert together as …
Canto+
Room 40 presents Canto+ by Beatriz Ferreyra. "I’m not really sure when I first heard Beatriz Ferreyra’s music. My best guess would be in the early to mid 2000s when I was working alongside the curatorial team at Liquid Architecture. Given the focus of the festival at that time, GRM and musique concrète more generally was very much a point of focus. That said, it wasn’t until this decade that her work was sharply in focus for me (and I am guessing a great many others). In 2017, I had the great pl…
Icons
Composer and percussionist Eli Keszler has very likely been a vital force behind some of the 21st century’s most forward-facing music. Among his CV highlights are collaborations with the likes of Oneohtrix Point Never, Laurel Halo, Kevin Beasley and Rashad Becker, as well as a hand in crafting the nightmarishly psychedelic score for Uncut Gems. Now, Keszler returns with a solo album of beguiling fourth world jazz.
Icons begins with an ambient synth swell, where the only hint of rhythm comes in t…
La Finestra Dentata
Papiro’s approach to music is never technical, but always personal. Since the mid-Nineties, he has released a handful of noteworthy albums, each carefully put together and seemingly self-contained, yet all sharing an unmistakable musical language and a certain escapist aura. La finestra dentata (The Toothed Window), is no exception. It includes both studio and concert recordings from 2016–2020. The sounds on this album appear infinite and full of marvels, ingenious in portraying imaginary creatu…
Ampos
** Gold Version. Expanded 25th Anniversary Edition. Edition of 100. For the first time re-released into double LP ** This was the first full-length album released by Masimo Magrini as Bad Sector in 1995 as a CD on Staalplat. For the 25th anniversary of that album we are proud to go for the re-release into vinyl format of such a masterpiece. Including some bonus material of the same era. This album became an Instant-Cult immediately after its release and still truly is a masterpiece of Dark-Ambie…

From the Heart, It's a Start, a Work of Art
** 2021 Stock ** Shinichi Atobe exists out of time, producing material that’s both inimitable and genuine. "From the Heart, It's a Start, a Work of Art” was released back in 2017 and is perhaps the most unique and enduring of all of his output over the years. Curiously, it has origins going all the way back to early 2000, when three of the tracks here were originally produced and cut to acetate at D&M in Berlin (in an edition of 5!), presumably lined up as a follow-up of sorts to Atobe’s legenda…
Aftertouches
Kara-Lis Coverdale’s sublime sophomore album of post-sacred music is issued on vinyl for the first time following an impossible-to-find 100-copy run pressed on tape in 2015. It's the first release on her new label Gate, a vital reminder of the composer’s early and enduring genius, and a must-listen if yr into Coverdale's classic ‘Grafts’ or Arvo Part, Arca, Caterina Barbieri...
In Immobile Air

Synchronicités
** Edition of 150 ** Member of the rhythm section of La Colonie de Vacances, Jean-Baptiste Geoffroy — the singularly sharp drummer of Pneu, Papaye or Binidu, and sound sculptor in Tachycardie (a shamanic project of polymorphic drones) — joins forces with Guillaume Brot, guitarist of Llamame La Muerte and Tu Brüles Mon Esprit for a project that’s light years from a guitar / drums two piece planet. United Color of Black Metal shows us “all the color” in abstract and experimental forms and offers t…
Pergélisol / Chorémanie
When two ex-Chausse Trappe and two members of Papier Tigre and La Colonie de Vacances got together mid-2017 to try out some of Meriadeg Orgebin’s ideas, it soon became the band Spelterini. Named after the tightrope artist Maria Spelterini, their music is always on the edge, tense yet flexible. They make their own fabric based on minimalism, drones, feedback and every accident, break or any other part is captured by the band and fuels the creative process, reenacting each performance and enhancin…
