On Dark Silent Off
*2026 stock* Radian creates a field of tension between extreme dynamics, freely improvised parts and meticulous construction, an inherent contrast between soft sounds and sharp edits. Radian’s recording/creative process takes a central role in shaping the pieces. It is a two-fold process of creating material through improvisation, sound experiments and processing on the one hand, and a routine of carefully selecting and editing this material on the other. It is often the case that mere snippets …

Distorted Rooms
*2026 stock* Vienna has a storied history as a ground-zero for new music. Radian, who calls Vienna home, embodies the city’s spirit of innovation. Martin Brandlmayr (drums, electronics), Martin Siewert (guitar, electronics) and John Norman (bass) are stalwarts of the European contemporary music community. Radian’s angular, expansive music delights in tension and contradiction, sound and silence, improvisation and composition. The trio employ a singular and wholly unique sense of microtonality. W…

Jeux de mains
Jeux de mains, a striking new album from acclaimed double bassist Joëlle Léandre and inventive composer-performer Rémy Bélanger de Beauport, arrives as a vivid exploration of spontaneous musical conversation. Recorded with immediacy and an acute sense of shared risk, the record captures two master improvisers at the peak of their creative powers.
Across the album’s immersive tracks, Léandre’s visceral arco, percussive pizzicato, and fearless extended techniques meet Rémy Bélanger de Beauport’s t…
In the no time
The group originally began as a duo formed by Paweł Doskocz and Vasco Trilla, who gave their first concert together in 2017. Since then their collaboration has continued to evolve. In 2018 they toured together and recorded tracks for an album released in 2019 on the Antena No Grata label.

The group relies on an in-depth knowledge of their instruments, which allows them …
Diffraction
*2026 stock* Diffraction is the amplified reflection, across a wider sonic territory, of what takes place within the making of DDK’s music. A composition written for the GGRIL, in which the three musician-composers weave their texture by juxtaposition, by overlay, in parallel, always within the musical material itself. But Diffraction truly comes to life only through close collaboration with the GGRIL performers, where each person’s character becomes raw material. A compositional process intimat…

The new transmission from Turin's My Cat Is An Alien, Maurizio and Roberto Opalio's long-running cosmic project, issued in a hand-numbered limited edition of 99 copies on their own Opax Records imprint. Two long-form pieces built around what the Opalios describe as a genuine creative breakthrough: applying their established practice of spontaneous composition in reverse, working by subtraction once the "apogee of real-time creation" had been reached, in service of an idea of infinity passing thr…

Actual Earth Music - Volume 3 & 4
Earthball are an avant/noise/rock wrecking ball of a band from Nanaimo, Canada. Rooted in total improvisation, free expression, and a deeply psychedelic sensibility, EarthBall operate on pure instinct. They hurtle onwards in a combustion of spontaneous composition, shooting from the hip, as they fall out of the sky ablaze. The group encompass Isabel Ford (vocals, bass), John Brennan (drums, percussion), Jeremy Van Wyke (vocals, guitar, trumpet), Kellan Maclaughlin (guitar, talkbox), and Liam Mur…
Demand to Be Taken to Heaven Alive!
The music on Horse Lords’ Demand to Be Taken to Heaven Alive! feels both impossibly detailed and eminently human. The album’s twelve pieces are layered and interwoven, tonally and rhythmically complex––moiré-like patterns of interaction and tessellation that play out for both mind and body, full of sonic warrens with an inescapable groove. An electrifying leap forward for the band’s shared language, Demand to Be Taken to Heaven Alive! aims to liberate the listener into a spiritual, ecstatic, and…
