Peripherad Debris
Peripherad Debris is the second release of the Haarvöl's trilogy started with Bombinate. If in Bombinate we announced a sonorous intentionality - bombinate means: make a low, vibrating, humming sound - now, halfway through the tripartite journey, we define a path - peripherad debris means: toward the periphery as the remains of anything broken down or destroyed. It is between the enunciation of the sonority and its conceptual spatialization that the sounds that can be heard in this new album ar…
You Are The Universe
It was late 2004 when Spanish label CONV released Textures and Mobiles, by Jos Smolders, in a limited run of only 100 CDr’s. This amazing album was based on a limited set of sounds: dtmf and ccitt tones that were generated by telephones and pure sine waves that interfere with each other. It came in like a wrecking ball! For us at least. A couple of years later, at Jos’ birthday party, we used samples of this album in a celebratory live performance. A couple of more years and years later we decid…
Kulverzuchter
With Kulverzuchter Bas van Huizen returns to Moving Furniture Records for his third album. After the visceral and noisy releases Kluwekracht (2015) and Waanzintraan (2016) this album offers more minimal and ambient explorations. Kulverzuchter and the accompanying video are perhaps Bas at his most understated. On this album he seems to embrace doubt and uncertainty. The music is hazy, ambiguous and uncanny. The textures are toned down and the sound less layered, but there is a lot happening below…

III Hymne
First time LP reissue from the original 1985 master tapes on 180gr vinyl. Including liner notes. On 'III Hymne' Jean Hoyoux further explores the electronic instruments he also used on 'Planètes' which results in a marvelous album that in some way connects the dots between ambient, library, cosmic and spiritual music. Two years after his debut double LP 'Planètes' Jean Hoyoux recorded three new compositions in the home build studio, Madame Bois. In his later published book 'Noos, la naissance à l…

Acezantez
Originally released in 1977. Rich textural pieces constructed from an unnotatable, intricate interplay of percussive squeals, scrapes and rattles, parched and pitchless woodwinds, and dislocated keyboards On the evidence here, Acezantez founded by the versatile Croatian composer and instrumentalist Dubravko Detoni merit wider recognition. Contemporary Croatian Masterpiece !Here are supposedly stylistic affinities between early Nurse With Wound and Detoni's music. This Detoni (born February 22, 1…
And The Light Beams Will Guide The Way
Lullabies for Insomniacs keep their remit steeply psychedelic with a 2nd invocation of Raga drone by Unearth Noise complemented by his Dreamspeak collaboration with vocalist Mariam Zohra D, a.k.a. Myrh On the first disc Roger Berkowitz a.k.a. Unearth Noise goes dolo down a wormhole of plasmic drones and glossolalia vox echoing the worldly psychedelia of Lullabies For Insomniacs’ prior reissue of László Hortobágyi’s ‘Transreplica Meccano’, leading to exceptional highlights in the free-floating c…
Artificial Intelligence
Mannequin Records presents a trilogy of reissues from the avantgarde Italian-born producer Doris Norton, "Norton Computer For Peace" (1983), "Personal Computer" (1984), "Artificial Intelligence" (1985). Apple's first music "endorsement" (later IBM consultant) and early Roland affiliate, Doris Norton is one of the most important women pioneer in the use of synths and in the early electro / computer music. While the beat-oriented style of Norton’s music aligns her with such global fellow-traveler…
Panama / Suez
A-Ton is proud to announce Panama / Suez, the first EP by trio Oren Ambarchi, Konrad Sprenger and Phillip Sollmann (aka Efdemin). The three multi-instrumentalists collaborated with the goal of creating subtly shifting musical passageways: sonic routes that run between continents of musical category. The results are two variations of kraut-y, groove-based post-techno that unfurl through mutating polyrhythms and chiming, ethereal guitar play – a rare moment of guitar and techno in deep embrace. Wi…

Homage To Dick Raaijmakers
LP version. 140 gram vinyl. Thomas Ankersmit's new album for Shelter Press Homage To Dick Raaijmakers is an all-analog electronic music composition inspired by legendary Dutch composer/electronic and tape music pioneer and multimedia artist, Dick Raaijmakers (1930-2013). The work takes inspiration from Raaijmakers's music from the 1960s, his texts on sound composition like "Cahier M", and notes on his own music. On this recording, Ankersmit plays Serge Modular feedback and sine/pulse/random gene…
Conduit
Originally conceived for live context employing high volume playback and extended duration, Conduit pushes the parameters of musical composition and perception. Minimal in construction, applying high frequency staccatissimo that gradually turns in on itself, Kaori Suzuki's latest output delivers a striking twenty-six minutes of intoxicating computer music. A remarkable statement. Kaori Suzuki (b. Tokyo) is based out of Oakland, CA. Her musical works are concerned with our inner-sensory responses…
Misterios Cosmográficos
1980's: Chile was a place where very little space was given for artistic
creation, sometimes it was forbidden to create. However, with a
determined inner strength, José Ignacio Valdés decided to take this project
forward self-producing his own tape cassettes (DIY culture). He wanted
to show the young people, his friends and family that the Chilean could
create music at the best level in the world. This LP includes "Misterios
Cosmográficos" remastered album, originally released in 1983, plu…

La Camera Astratta
**100 Copies in light Blue vinyl** “La Camera Astratta” is the result of the amazing collaboration between
Piero Milesi e Daniel Bacalov with the experimental theatre-performance
of the Studio Azzurro and Giorgio Barberio Corsetti. An idea of
immersion in a dimension devoid of gravity, the desire concerning a
soft, ethereal, articulated and perfectly interpenetrated reality. It's
an evocative ambient sound, with rhythmic cadence, soft and repetitive,
full of airiness; the music expresses t…
Il Museo Selvatico
Since launching in 2009, Oren Ambarchi’s
Black Truffle has been making quiet waves in the underground,
its growing catalog unfurling the unexpected aural connections
which only appear when a label is led by an artist’s ear and
heart. Initially orbiting around Ambarchi’s own output, and that
of the community which immediately surrounds him, the imprint
has increasingly endeavoured to establish cross-generational
links, issuing and reissuing stunnin…
Expanding Space
The folks over at The Institute for Danish Sound Archaeology have been blowing our minds for the last couple of years. There output is slow and careful, quickly become one of our favourite catalogs emerging today. First they brought us the incredible reissue of Knud Viktor’s two LPs from the early 1970s, Ambiances / Images, then a short while back we were graced by the conception breaking Danish Tape Amateurs. Now they return with another marvel from the forgotten realms of Danish underground mu…
