1978
The first ever official release by this legendary Melbourne post-punk band who only ever existed for a number of months in 1978, but who cast an important and influential light in Australian (and global!) music, influencing the likes of the Boys Next Door/Birthday Party and The Models, the group's membership and its diaspora reading like a who's-who of crucial Australian music of the past 50 years.
In the band was a young Rowland S. Howard, who would soon go onto join the BND/Birthday Party; Oll…
Murmurations
*2026 stock* Murmurations is an interplay of sonic posibilities between flute and drum. Focused on subtle musical events that come from flute timbres that react on drum skin Taiga explores the realm of low volumes on their respective instruments and creates stories inspired by nature. As silence and calm are a big part of the creative process behind the making of this album, the concept of driving prepared drum with flute resonances, encouraged by feedback loops, is what makes this music uniqe a…

"If you are an inquisitive talented improviser like her you can use those [rubber band boxes] to conjure up some sonic riches" Verity Sharp, Late Junction, BBC Radio 3.

Experiments with building and playing rubber-band noise boxes.
Ghost Artery
*2026 stock* A sonic investigation of the history and decline of Nottingham's River Trent in two acts. In 1938 when the River Trent was being dredged by the Trent Navigation Company, workers encountered obstructions in the form of wooden stakes driven into the riverbed. Following an investigation by archaeologists it was concluded that the site was part of a Bronze Age ‘pile settlement’ formed of houses on stilts 3000 years ago. Now dislodged and disturbed the remains of this settlement began bu…
Organelles
*2026 stock* What goes on inside a cell? What might it sound like? Inspired by tiny processes and interactions Organelles presents a sonic imaginary of intracellular operations. Cells are busy: folding proteins, exchanging gases, creating energy, growing, dividing, mutating and communicating. Likened to minute factories or warehouses, organelles are the entities which perform the specialised tasks which enable cellular life.
So often explored visually, this album offers one version of what the a…
Punctum
What does a venue sound like? One might approach this question by assessing the technicalities of how it handles sound: the room acoustics, the quality of the PA etc. Instead, this trio seek answers by enlivening those loose inanimates strewn silently around the venue’s edges – whatever the players could find throughout the backrooms and corners. Pots, pans, dud domestic appliances and old bicycles are hauled up from the groundfloor basement of Punctum in Prague, along with a few stones and tree…
Stratigraphy
*2026 stock* A churn of electronic noise is flung into dialogue with the smeared and manipulated bleats of a seagull horn, the former like the grind of agricultural machinery, the latter like prolonged saxophone missives or doppler-arced racetrack noise. We encounter many moments like this throughout Stratigraphy: gushes of clashing colour, sudden illuminations of jagged edges. This is how Kate Carr and Cath Roberts resist the absolute fusion of their respective sound worlds, rekindling our awar…
Magneto Mori: Brussels
*2026 stock* "One way to interpret Vernon’s evocation of Brussels is as a patchwork of interdependent absences. We hear numerous spoken stories, yet none of them in full; details are lost to magnetic erasure, to the truncations of compositional editing, to the recollective limits of fallible minds. A voice hesitates as it recounts an early memory of falling. Another falters into damaged tape as it describes a trip into the forest, words sunken irretrievably under disruptive plosives. Into these …
A Storm And It's Aftermath
*2026 stock* Carr and Donohoe eschew the typical depiction of a storm as a linear escalation. Instead they illuminate the multitude of comings-and-goings that occur throughout its lifecycle: the quietening of birdsong, the thickening and dispersal of the wind, the ever-changing texture of the rain. The title itself is an act of misdirection. Most of the runtime concerns the storm’s prelude (it’s a full half-hour before we hear the first rumble of thunder), and we’re ushered into a fadeout before…
little feats
*2026 stock* "Little Feats is a quiet abandonment of answers and exactitudes. A slow luxuriation in the riddle, the failure, the irredeemably off-kilter. Despite these four compositions pulling from different thematic sources, all are bound by a spaciousness that continually strands us between the conclusion of the last gesture and the commencement of the next. Great swathes of the record are compositionally “silent”, with the instruments falling away to reveal the album’s irreducible base: a fi…
Cassette Album
*2026 stock* "Magnetic Tape is able to record, store and playback audio recordings. It enables repetition and the capturing of time in a sonic shape. It frees listening from the confines of chronology and thus of history and creates a sonic pluriverse where everything can be played at once, again and again sounding between the familiar and the unfamiliar the particular darkness of the human heart and the peculiar density which surrounds everything that is real. Thus giving access to time’s plast…
