Salt Marie Celeste – Salt
2023 Restock. A welcome re-release, as an expanded version, of one of Nurse With Wound’s most notable albums. Originally recorded in 2002 by Steven Stapleton and Colin Potter, the piece ‘Salt’ was a limited edition release to accompany an exhibition of Stapleton’s artwork at The Horse Hospital in London. The following year ‘Salt Marie Celeste’ was released as a single 61 minute long piece of droning atmospheric sound that manages to be both minimal and maximal at the same time. A parade of stran…
Music for Living Spaces
Leaving Records presents Music For Living Spaces, the debut LP by non-binary Los Angeles-based artist Green-House. Olive Ardizoni helms the project, which made its debut with the charming 2019 EP Six Songs for Invisible Gardens. Music for Living Spaces represents an evolution of its predecessor’s minimalist compositions into songs that move with winsome melodies and emotional arcs. Though recorded during a pandemic, the transporting nature of Music For Livings Spaces offers a remedy for drearine…

Golden Pear
Moon Glyph Records head Steve Rosborough returns as Omni Gardens with a brand new album entitled “Golden Pear”. The fuzzy, warm and buoyant moog timbres of “Moss King” return but “Golden Pear” is a dreamier and more lush affair; incorporating a wider palette including mellotron flutes, vibraphones, marimbas and self-captured field recordings. A tranquil, pop atmosphere permeates the album as the songs flutter between bleary, unhurried tunes, warbly soundscapes and odes to lazy afternoons. Create…
Into The Second Half
Icelandic artist and musician Sigtryggur Berg Sigmarsson is known for his work with Stilluppsteypa, numerous solo albums and collaborations with other artists, such as Swedish composer BJ Nilsen. Into The Second Half takes the listener into a mysterious, yet calming sound world, where carefully composed textures weave hypnotically in and out of each other, as subtle as the changes of light in the forbidden zone in Andrej Tarkovsky’s Stalker.
Dust At Night
*200 copies limited edition CD in 6-panel digisleeve* Fabio Orsi is that imaginative weaver of atmospheres for great horizons that each time takes the mind and intellect far away. The new "Dust at Night", a 3-stage journey into the aural interspaces of the most immersive and alienating mantric-minimalist diction, is no exception. It is impossible to homologate the Italian composer's musical figure except perhaps to connect it by emotional induction to the astral radiations of Brian Eno in his am…
Methexis
*200 copies limited edition CD in 6-panel digisleeve* The idea behind "Methexis" is to take some of the foundational concepts of jazz such as interplay, timbral research and improvisation, and render them in a predominantly electronic context. The compositions were sketches, for example various modes of interactions and three modal macro-areas were indicated on the piece "Methexis", while "On Silent Haunches" is an improvisation for solo electric piano structured on the final four chords of the …
Cade
*250 copies limited edition CD in 6-panel digisleeve* Cade is Bruno Dorella and Giovanni Lami. We come from different backgrounds and trainings, but we found a common ground in our open view to different disciplines, and our curiosity towards unorthodox approaches to music. "Cade" is our first ever album to be released, part of a wide archive of sessions that we recorded in 2019-2020, with no kinds of pressure. Dorella plays some traditional instruments such as guitar and percussions, while Lami…
Istantanee d'ascolto
*250 copies limited edition, 20-page 15x15cm Book + CD* A throb of field recordings of unknown origin lifts the veils on "Istantanee d'Ascolto" by Adriano Zanni, a first rank photographer and sound designer who needs no introduction since he is a well-known figure to the third-ear sounds connoisseurs. The psychogenic imprint of his creative formula makes its way back with a sequence of free compositions that reflect yearnings close to the strategies of the most extreme and feral post-industrial …
Sacro Bosco Mediazioni
*100 copies limited edition* Sacro Bosco Mediazioni is a five-pieces ensemble whose music defies easy categorization. Born through the mysterious hills of Bomarzo, where the whispers of the ancient Etruscan gods and goddesses can still be heard, their craft is marked by a singular blend of vocal images and improvised soundscapes that is playful, magical and profound. The group draws inspiration from a diverse array of sources, from ritualistic folk music to the 60's avant-garde, surrealistic poe…
Emerald Vision
Tip! *80 copies limited edition* Jacopo Buda is a trumpet player, composer and sound-artist, born in Rimini (IT). His research investigates the infinite possibilities given by the encounter between trumpet and electronics in a live improvisational context. Standing at the crossroads between glitchy noir-tinged jazz, kosmische music and and fourth-world psychedelia, "Emerald Vision" offers a plethora of slowly unfolding and gently shifting emotions: unbounded joy and luminous ecstasy weaved with …
Cotswold Stone
Mat Handley’s shimmeringly beautiful ‘Cotswold Stone’ is the debut long player from Mat's Pulselovers project, which was first released in 2019 and is driven by warm analogue sounds effortlessly conveying a feeling of being somewhere beautiful, out in the country.
Systeme
Finally the 5th album of the imaginary German quartet - as always via Denovali. Although the title "Systeme" suggests a perhaps rather distant-cool album, it is the most personal and concentrated soundtrack so far created by Thomas Bücker from Münster in his "E-Smog-Playground" studio. In 2008, the quartet still flirted with cyrillic-mysterious melancholy and red wine-swilling trakl melancholy. 15 years and four albums later, it seems almost cynical to simply continue at this point. Because: lat…

Issue 104: The Secret World Of Modular (Magazine)
Magazine only. This month’s Electronic Sound lifts the lid on the secret world of Modular Synthesis and we’re bundling the issue with a double CD featuring 31 modular tracks, many of which have never been available on a physical release before.

To Dream Is To Forget
Since its inception, producer and composer Joe Acheson has carefully developed Hidden Orchestra from a simple initial project concept of ‘an imagined orchestra’ into something that has flourished into a widespan musical universe of its own, that is truly unlike anything else.
