Studies in Tonality*
This is a set of improvised studies made on the Clavemusicum Omnituonum, a harpsichord designed in1606 by Trasunto with 31 keys per octave. With this 2016 copy made by Markus Krebs for Studio31(Basel), I let the music unfold out of the gestures the hands were able to make thanks to the newpossibilities - and obstacles - created by such a keyboard. As a classically trained harpsichordist, Irelished the opportunity to fully embrace the oblique angles opened up by the keyboard’s disorientinglayout,…
Walk in Praise of All Metals
Recorded in rural eastern Washington State, Walk in Praise of All Metals reflects the raw expanses of the‘Channel Scablands’, a region which gladly bares the scars of ancient volcanism, ice age floods, &hydroelectric power. Like the landscape—born of cataclysm, yet steady in its austerity, the music speaksthrough sustained resonance and momentary intersections. Structure emerges through sharedharmonics, with passages from Matt Sargent’s re-tuned guitar (13-Limit just intonation) activatingsympat…
Frightened Birds Head House
“Frightened Birds Head House” is a compilation. It is not a “sampler,” a term that implies the practical function of serving as a label’s calling card. (…) Toward the end of the 1970s, records and cassettes made by independent record shops and individuals rather than large corporations—ones that required little more than a name, a logo, and something they wanted to release—were also playing that role, whether or not their creators intended them to. In Manchester, there was Factory. In Brussels, …
Today's Special
On Today’s Special, Hanne Lippard and Renato Grieco turn speech into score and accompaniment into acoustic typography. Reduced, exacting compositions for voice, viola da gamba, piano and Wurlitzer shadow the rhythm and contour of language, transforming wordplay, online debris and intimate anecdotes into a dryly comic, strangely moving suite of musical rhetoric.
Lummernikt
Lummer is the Swedish name for the now protected family of vascular plants (Clubmoss/Lycopodiaceae). Lummer grows slowly and the spores with which it reproduces can take 12—20 years to develop. These spores, known as Nikt in Swedish, were once ground into an extremely flammable light yellow “old woman’s gunpowder” that was used for early theatrical pyrotechnics. Volatile and explosive, Lummernikt requires careful handling. There is something of the small scale dangerous in Finn Loxbo’s Lummernik…
Live at Pageant : Soloveev
The date was May 10th, 2025: a warm spring day in Philadelphia, and a damned hot night over at Bainbridge and 6th. Inside the Pageant Soloveev gallery an evening of music presented by Open Mouth Records was escalating fast. Sharing the bill were Strapping Fieldhands’ Jacy Webster (a rare live appearance!), living legend Roger Clark Miller (Mission of Burma 5eva!) and, right in the goddamn middle, Body/Head’s Bill Nace + Purling Hiss’ Mike Polizze faced off in a taishogoto/guitar duo for the very…

Memorial
»Memorial« grew out of Nate Wooley’s work alongside Annea Lockwood recording the Columbia River, and in particular from a visit to Kettle Falls in northern Washington, once one of the river’s great salmon fishing and meeting grounds and a place of enormous importance to the Sinixt and other Indigenous peoples of the Upper Columbia. The falls disappeared from view following the construction of the Grand Coulee Dam in 1940, submerged beneath what is now Lake Roosevelt, yet beneath the still surfac…

*150 copies limitede edition* Originally released by Umor Rex on cassette in 2015, NK012 documents the first-ever musical meeting of Berlin-based musicians Aidan Baker (Nadja, Canada), Andrea Belfi (Italy), and Erik Skodvin (Svarte Greiner / Deaf Center, Norway).

This marks the third release in a series of four special, limited reissues to be released in 20…
Derma
*150 copies limited edition* Derma emerges from my dialogue with music, space, and silence. It is an immersive sonic experience where every gesture is guided by the here and now—by raw emotion, sensory perception, and the act of creation itself.
Through the use of extended techniques, the performance evolves into a unique, unpredictable path where distinct soundscapes merge into a deep, continuous flow. The core of the sound lies in the tactile relationship between the drum skin and the objects …
Displaces
On Displaces, sound artist Francesco Fabris fashions a high‑dimensional cartography of memory, hyperobjects and matter, where langspil, biophonies and geophonies are folded into phased time‑space, drifting between suffocation and release in an eerily tactile sonic ecosystem.
Far Away Worlds
*2026 stock. 150 copies limited edition* Sounding waves between the inner and outer spaces, electromagnetic forces from the breathing ether.
Close Your Eyes, See Black
*150 copies limited edition* "Close your eyes, see black" is a slow descent into the depths, like freediving or deep anesthesia taking us to the sunken center of ourselves. When the darkness is too dense, when visibility is too low, what we had imagined as a privileged observation point becomes a lookout over the void. We must resurface to understand, with the new awareness that we cannot find everything within ourselves. Re-emerged, once again we ask ourselves how far we can see.
Athanor
*150 copies limited edition* Within him lies a chamber made of attention rather than walls. There, a quiet warmth works without flame, loosening certainties, refining what has settled into form. Nothing is forced; everything is listened into being. A tone, a shadow, a fragment of light; each pass through him as trace rather than possession. The world is not captured but accompanied, allowed to breathe, to fade, to re-emerge altered. In this inward vessel, transformation is a discipline of patien…
L'Anticristo (O L'Accettazione Del Male)
*2026 stock. 150 copies limited edition* This new album titled "The Antichrist or the Acceptance of Evil" is a project that is particularly important to me. It's a difficult theme, discussing violence, which exists in each of us, and how we make it seem normal by accepting and justifying it. Unfortunately. It is an imaginary story of a person—whether man or woman doesn't matter—who, by experiencing violence, discovers themselves.
Sing A Beast
*2026 stock. 150 copies limited edition* Sing-A-Beast is the debut solo album of Mariella Modonese following numerous collaborations with various exponents of the Italian research scene. The album contains 10 tracks conceptualized, composed and performed by Miriam and produced by her son Fabrizio Modonese Palumbo (Larsen, ( r ), Blind Cave Salamander,...) portraits of different animals organized into a sort of bizarre bestiary containing short spurts and long elaborate musical suites as well as …

Works
Four years have passed since the release of Jon Collin's majestic Bridge Variations on Discreet Music, arguably one of the most defining and well-received releases on the label. Works is the first LP under the Early Music artist name - first the title of a 2015 solo LP, then a name for a label before being used for a couple of recent cassette releases - and was recorded in Stockholm over a nine-month period last year. The main instrumentation is again the keyed fiddle - a traditional Swedish fol…
