hotel room
*300 copies limited edition* In 2023, Kraków-based composer Martyna Basta and Los Angeles-based sound artist claire rousay were invited to Poland by Unsound for a short residency, where they spent a few days trading ideas and concepts, and brainstorming their first collaboration. Initially motivated to create lengthy, expansive pieces together, they also ended up experimenting with shorter vignettes, and 'hotel room' expresses these two extremes, featuring three long-form tracks and three brief,…
Astral Meditations From a Living Statue (1990–2013)
Big tip! Forty years of cassette releases, pressed for the first time on vinyl. First of two instalments exploring the previously unreleased sonic archives of one of Poland’s most enigmatic living artists - with its first volume focused on his deep listening practice and spiritual reverie (recorded 1990–2013). The last time Andrzej Dudek-Dürer took a banknote bearing the face of the Polish anarchist Jarosław Dąbrowski from his pocket to trade it for a pair of shoes was in 1969. He bought them fo…
Sekalaisia äänityksiä
*100 copies limited edition* A surprise archival LP collecting scattered recordings from across Juho Toivonen’s recent work. Following Kuun Sininen Rinki, Sekalaisia Äänityksiä brings together pieces previously released on small-run compilations, rare physical editions and limited formats to another limited release presented by New Zealand imprint What Lies Beneath.
Side A includes much loved “Peura”, originally released on the Kashual Plastik’s A Mistake By Mistakes compilation, “Kanava 5” fro…
Nantes Files
Tip! *200 copies limited edition* Here at last is another entry in FMOA’s ‘Cozy Mysteries’ series: collaborations between artist duos focusing on acousmatic processes, and sound freed from “conceptual” moorings and imposed meanings. Alan Courtis, who appeared as part of our label’s “Audio Postcards” series, returns here for a set recorded in Nantes with Julien Ottavi. Both are storied veterans of music based in experimentation, “extended” technique and the creative re-use of previously un-creati…
Openness
A spontaneous musical transmission exploring healing, unity, laughter, and limitless possibility.
Mouasalat Ila Jacad El Ard
Debut album by Issam Hajali, singer of the Lebanese band Ferkat Al Ard, recorded in a single day in Paris in 1977 during his exile: jazz and folk with Arabic and Iranian influences, first issued on just 75 cassettes.
Ascending the Depths
Ithaca trio of Sarah Hennies, Willie B. and Keir Neuringer, three percussionists reaching into vibraphone, saxophone and piano. Eight studio improvisations, playful and energetic, held against a meditative core.
Renascent
The twenty-eighth Durutti Column album and the first in sixteen years, produced by Keir Stewart: Vini Reilly's guitar among warm ambient washes, piano and quiet beats, with guest vocals from Caoilfhionn Rose. Deluxe gatefold on transparent bottle green vinyl.
Romance
The Portuguese percussionist turns drums and cymbals into generative sources: seven tracks of spectral tones, sub-bass rumble and warbly VHS tones, shaped by electronic manipulation and by the chromatic dissonance of Carlo Gesualdo.
Le Api dell’Invisibile
Four decades after Prati Bagnati del Monte Analogo, Francesco Messina returns to his hundred-year-old Schimmel piano for seven pieces of hazy drone and ambient minimalism, written with no deadlines after playing that 1979 album live in Milan.
The Loa Of Music + Urban And Tribal Portraits
Special Bundle: Roberto Musci's The Loa Of Music (2LP, silver vinyl) and Roberto Musci & Giovanni Venosta's Urban And Tribal Portraits (LP, clear vinyl), both from Soave in new limited pressings of 200 copies each.
Outside Italy, Roberto Musci's name circulated for decades among a small number of collectors and almost no one else. That changed in 2016, when Music From Memory issued Tower Of Silence, a double LP gathering three decades of his work: hunting horns, gongs and strings brought back fr…
The Loa Of Music
Italian experimental music is notoriously resistant to definition and location. If ever there was an object to encapsulate the spirit of that movement, it is the composer and musician Roberto Musci’s debut album from 1984 - The Loa Of Music. Recorded after a decade traveling the world - drifting between African, Indian, and the Near & Far East - studying music, making field recordings, and collecting instruments, not only is it a perfect culmination of such an experience, but a lens into the rig…
Will to Love
Ylang Ylang’s Will to Love suggests both a challenge and a determination simultaneously. What does it actually take to love? Amidst the inherent contradictions of the self and the world around us, how do we come back to the foundation of love? The songs on this album sit in that place of friction: stillness and action, fear and desire, poison and medicine, reluctance and momentum, the pull to protect and the pull to stay open. You can look at the process Catherine Debard undertook in recording W…
La flûte
*200 copies limited release* After Le jardin perdu (2023) and Depuis les cimes (2025), Antoine Bellanger takes another new turn with La flûte, an album that continues along his singular path between song, poetry, illustration, and documentary storytelling. “In middle school, my music teacher told me I would never make music. Later, when studying drawing proved out of reach, I decided to turn to music instead. Thirty years later, here is La Flûte, an album full of flutes and poetry, in which I al…
Pianostops
"Limpe Fuchs at the piano. Playing for the moon, four drawings on the wall, one on the cover of the LP (RESLP022). A musical improvisation, a voyage, visions, meditation, presence and absence... the subtle art of a silent film pianist. Like Schirren (RESLP003) did, but never recorded. Now, here, Limpe in front of the screen on the wall, the light projected on it through the dark theatre, like the sun on the moon, and the images reflected on our faces, our eyes, her eyes. One of the almost lost a…
Amorce De Champ
Tip! Vincent Grimaldi’s "Amorce De Champ" is a sonic exploration of studio and field recording. Driven by a particular focus on the technical modalities of sound recording and reproduction, the work delves into recurring motifs across various electroacoustic setups: exaggerated artefacts of analog media, reel-to-reel manipulations, "hors-champ" studio takes, reverberant spaces, feedback, fidelity, phonography, and cut-ups from dusty sound effects records. Sounds are either reworked using analog …
CULTurally appropriated songs and revisited memories
Cults have always had their own soundtracks: songs written to win over, to bind, to manipulate, repeated until they settle beneath thought, becoming core belief and identity. In the disquieting afterlife of such music, CULTurally appropriated songs and revisited memories begins. The new album from Zürich-based experimental electronic duo Perverts in White Shirts (Nathalie Dreier and Dave Phillips) is a two-hour cringe-pop journey of disarming, catchy tunes. A post-fringe hauntology for those sha…
Posterior Vitreous Detachment (Video Soundtracks Vol 1)
Tip! Longstanding pioneer of the Bay Area, Pacific Coastline underground scene. Seymour Glass has been recording, performing, disrupting and spreading his Musique Concrete trickery for many's the decade. With projects such as Glands of External Secretion with Barbara Manning, BUFMS, Brent Lewis Ensemble , his time as publisher and editor of the now legendary magazine Bananafish, his online mail-order empire – Tedium House, his many other solo and collaborative projects, it is safe to say that Se…
Jules 3000 (Films Made of Antimatter Vol. I)
Tip! *250 copies limited edition* The "Films Made of Antimatter" series is a new experiment from the Fifteen Minutes of Anonymity label, based on the concept of soundtracks for films that have not yet been made. It's an idea that is already familiar to a great number of sonic artists, as many of us have deliberately set out to create a "cinema for the ear" which would, in effect, cause us to imagine film-like narratives within our mind's eyes. This project aims to take things a step further: com…
The Snake, the Frog and the Argument
*50 copies limited edition* 1. The Habu (2020). The Habu is a pit viper endemic to the Ryukyu Islands. The violence done to these islands reverberates through. The Habu is venomous, mostly nocturnal. Spectral. From the dense vegetation it morphs into the island’s mind. The Habu is less a subject than a presence. In fragmented recordings, the work moves like the snake itself.
2. The Frog (2026). Like a frog, this work jumps and jumps. Until it just sits there and evaporates. Ribbit!
3. A Transcri…
