Trios
Trios is a collaboration between five musicians, over time, and over space. It combines instrumental and electronic improvisation with non-real-time computer processing and editing. Chris Mann, Douglas Repetto, and Larry Polansky recorded several hours of live improvised material in one session. Months later Repetto, Polansky, and Christian Wolff recorded some more.
The recordings were then sent off to Tom Erbe, who culled interesting sections from both sessions and then processed, edited, and m…

Made in Bali, the Philippines, Turkey, Europe, Cuba and America 1991-99. - Chris Brown
Canopies + Cathedrals
Canopies : A roof-like covering of trees enclosing a large or wide natural space. Cathedral : ;Large edifice usually of stone, enclosing space reserved for spiritual contemplation. Vertical structures that strive for light and open spaces, defying gravity, and reason.
A Tarkosvsky-esque transcendence of spirit and nature, time imprinted on an intertwining of sap and stone, branch and pillar, column, and trunk.
This third MPM release is co-written by Phil and Jackson Mouldycliff, with studio trea…
Widdershins
A new CD of a live performance by these two talented improvisers. The interplay between them is, to use a cliche, telepathic. Whilst it's often difficult to figure out who is doing what, the gelling of the sounds is perfect, going from meditative to intense, smooth to harsh (but not abrasive). Improvisation at it's best - highly recommended! REVIEW by Frans de Waard, Vital Weekly : The biggest surprise here is not the music but the label. I would expect such fine talents in improvised music to f…

Dies Irae
**Limited Edition of 60 numbered copies ** Paul Chain’s 1994 experimental album. "There are sections of familiar guitarplay included as well as the standard hammond organ, but still all metal/rock fans should be warned that this is mostly an electronica/industrial release. The mood of the album varies between lamentation and insane anxiety. In particular, ‘Prescence Of The Soul’s Forest’ is utterly disturbed and the vocals of Sandra Silver is what makes the most impact. There are no lyrics at al…
Connecters Vol. 1: Original Recordings, 1992–1999
Larrison’s Connecters Vol. 1: Original Recordings, 1992–1999 rescues a lone CZ‑5000 and one quietly obsessive mind from cassette oblivion, revealing 26 miniatures where lo‑fi space‑age pop, DIY synth craft and daydream cinema gently fold into each other.
Ambienti Elettroacustici
Harmograph is a project by and with Matteo Scaioli. He summarized his latest research on sound by building various electromechanical instruments, one of which he called the "Harmograph", which gives the name to his whole project. Harmograph is basically a gong remodeled with a unique sound. Scaioli blends the sound of the Harmograph with other self-made instruments including Melodon's Voice, Phonograph Tape, Dhin "Tan" Pathè, and finally his favorite synth: the Prophet 5. Matteo Scaioli - being …
Alla Sorrentina
Snake De, a potential reference to Snake II, the snake game preinstalled on our mobile phones in the late 1990s, seals the musical meeting of Maxime Canelli and Aymeric Chaslerie. The former made his mark with Carton, an unstable, occasionally sung synth-pop project, while the latter—whose background leans more toward electricity, notably as guitarist for Room 204 and Papaye—is endowed with an insatiable musical curiosity, which he has been satisfying since 2002 by co- running the Kythibong labe…
Poulaine
When you’re creating something loosely referred to as “art” with another person, you’re mining the depths of minds and experience, searching connections with pasts, each of us producing from a different place. Communication exists as unspoken and simultaneous, more carnal than collaborative, and dwelling rather than saying. We all miss that, wrapped up fantasies of perfectness and lovesick doves. Youth, how fleeting and naive. "Created by commission for the University of California at Irvine as …
Parasymbiosis
I have long pondered the concept of connectedness in relation to life’s existence. The Dalai Lama teaches that destruction of one’s neighbour equates to destruction of oneself. In contrast, modern Western culture has placed the individual at the epicentre of existence – to the detriment of non-humans and humans alike. Ecological Memory influences present or future responses of a community; it is this shared memory that enables organisms, objects and the environment to connect to each other, and …
XKatedral Anthology Series III
Tip Tip Tip! XKatedral Anthology Series III is the third installment in the label’s ongoing archival series, and it arrives as both a celebration and a statement of intent. Marking ten years of XKatedral, this double‑vinyl set gathers works composed between 2014 and 2025 by artists who treat harmony and timbre as slow‑moving terrains rather than backdrops. Synthetic and acoustic sources, algorithmic procedures and close‑mic’d performance all serve a common aim: precise, patient work in the realm…

In A Quiet Of A Short Winter, Every Hidden Thing Finds A Voice Sharper Than Memory
*100 copies limited edition* Six touching tracks that, starting from quiet ambient atmospheres, initially soft, tenuous, and crepuscular, gradually seem to soar... ascending towards celestial spaces, revealing ever-wider and brighter landscapes below, ever-more distant horizons, ever-more infinite spaces...

Gigi Masin Presents: An Apple A Day You Die Anyway

The album draws inspiration from the 1980s, evoking atmospheres reminiscent of sci-fi soundtr…
Seismo
A shiver of mischievous vocal snippets, disorienting rhythms and collapsing sonic architectures, upsammy and Valentina Magaletti’s first collaborative album prioritizes motion, modulation and variance. The seeds of ‘Seismo’ were sown following a commission from Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum to soundtrack an exhibition of work from the Museum Boijmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam and the duo didn’t want to approach their collaboration flippantly. So, wandering the museum’s maze of rooms, they recorded va…

Wir gingen durch leere Stunden
Schatterau’s third album, »Wir gingen durch leere Stunden« (We went through empty hours), sees the German duo blossoms with beauty and sophistication through a broad creative language. This opus, presented in the form of vivid auditory tableaux vivants, explores the topography of memory as a landscape in constant motion – full of loops, feedbacks, and mirage-like distortions. Sounds climbing like vines over old walls, concealing details only to reveal new ones. Some pieces feel like fragments of…
