The Gate
*100 copies limited edition* Welsh musician Aisha Vaughan presents The Gate. It is upon us to renew the deep-cut, heavy-weighted melancholy of Celtic New Age for 2024. New Age music from the Celtic/British Isles crossed over into the mainstream in the late 80s - notably with Enya (and her band Clannad), the perhaps now lesser-known instrumental Celtic harp music of Patrick Ball, and the slew of now mostly forgotten various artist compilations that saturated the New Age CD and cassette music mark…

These field recordings focus in on the quiet, everyday sounds of streets, parks, a lake and a …

Can Stones Evade Taxes?
*50 hand-numbered copies* The voice from the box said, "What if the ultimate border situation between garbage and art is actually laughter? (...) The literal yoga of excrement (排泄物的瑜伽), a coprolitic essay on how we, as listeners, encounter 'objects of fear,' process them, and transform them into sound. It's 石头 in our ears."I said, "But 'for our purposes,' it seems to me that 'just a lonely voice' is needed."Onufr Gaptev said, "For those who take a vow of silence, any word is shit compared to the…

*2024 stock* Dark Country is the first collaboration between Stockholm-based experimental musicians Jon Collin and Niclas Anderstedt Lindgren. On Dark Country you have the familiar echoes from Collin`s post-bluesy attack on strings, but this time accompanied with a considerable amount of speaker crackle and Lindgren`s clever yet reticent sound sculpting.
