When the Distance is Blue
'When the Distance is Blue' is Macie Stewart’s International Anthem debut. The Chicago-based multi-instrumentalist, composer, and improviser describes the collection as “a love letter to the moments we spend in-between”—a letter realized via an intentional return to piano, her first instrument and the origin of her creative expression. Here Stewart creates a striking and cinematic work through collages of prepared piano, field recordings, and string quartet compositions, one that gives shape to …
Age
Quickly on the heels of their debut, Cuneiform Tabs return with Age, an LP that takes a massive leap forward in both melodic sensibilities and inventiveness. Bathed in late night psychedelia and the looping repetition of a drone sample, the group's experimental penchants remain, yet this time wrapped around tunes too sweet to be denied. In pulling back a little of the crackle and haze that made their first album so inviting, the Tabs have revealed more of their pop instincts. The overall effect …
Stay / Sea
*200 hand-numbered copies limited edition* HolyKindOf is multi instrumentalist J. Bryan Parks from Akron, Ohio. Is a part of Rubber City Noise. HolyKindOf is a solo venture that began its current incarnation in the late spring of 2012 in a cathartic response to personal tragedy. Using dense layers of manipulated loops; primarily cello, field recordings, tape & voice. He sculpts viscerally; a requiem of repetitive phrase, culminating heady delicacies, evolving melodies & crescendo. Each live perf…
Hanging By A Fan Over Wet Cement
*2025 stock* "Hanging by a Fan Over Wet Cement is the music of listening after listening, when water runs relative to the sound of your own footsteps, and you lean over the resonating chamber of a trashcan like it’s a campfire, then fill it with wheezy laughter. Only, the steel mesh of Hair Clinic/Max Nordile’s field microphone is all mangled and bludgeoned, and the field extends into his home garage. The same contact-foraging quality of attention goes into the beginner’s brain improvisations, w…
Praxis
The music on this record is the result of a process of re-imagining Acre's concert at Area Sismica on June 11, 2022. No editing is present other than the extraction of some movements from the concert, which have been recombined in temporal order, according to a narrative logic given by the need to coexist with the space offered by the medium.
Broken Guitars
2009 release ** Broken Guitars is the first recording by Italian visual artist Michele Lombardelli: acoustic guitar improvisations between Loren Connors, Derek Bailey and Robbie Basho, with a tinge of sadness that permeates every moment and creates a sense of longing and nostalgia that seems destined for a nameless past."
Batimarxo (CDr)
2001 release ** Limited edition of 100 copies. "Solo project of Devis Granziera. Batimarxo ("Beat-march") is a Venetian folklore festival. At the eve of March people gather together with drums, rattles and whatever else for making noise in order to awake the sprigtime. Track 1 is an unprocessed field-recording of the 2010 Batimarxo-feast celebrated in Zugliano. Other tracks have been created using that field-recording as sole and exclusive sound source."
Onid + Isil
2003 release ** "The eleven short pieces are called ‘Jam 0’, ‘Jam 1’ up to ‘Jam 10’. Madness strikes here at full force. Distorted rhythms and casio synths, filled up with some distorted singing. I was reminded by some of the stuff by XBXRX or their many off-shoots. Quite raw and punk, but quite nice. Short and sweetly raw. Quite nice."

Still’s Keep
A timeless collection of heartfelt and abstract pop, as obscured through the lenses of Robert Wyatt, Legendary Pink Dots and an amalgamation of aspects from the Flying Nun catalog. As summarized from the label, previously: “Although he has lived in Berlin for most of the past decade, Paul Arambula has always been close-by on the localized level of Gilgongo Records. Living in Arizona, it would have been impossible to not find Paul: From his “legendary if you caught them as the opener for your ban…

Beyondddddd The Notessssss
Tip! *200 copies limited edition* In the depths of Geneva’s Fonderie Kugler red-lit-boudoir, stand four grand pianos surrounded by divinities. The two elder Erard brothers are tuned down a quarter tone lower than their neighbours, a twin pair of gleaming and valiant Yamaha’s. Charlemagne and Seppe both sit facing each other, managing the 428Hz tuning from the tip of their left hand, while the right hand controls the conventional 440Hz machine. This four-piano fantasy was born a few years ago, w…
The Pilgrim To The Absolute
2014 release ** "The forty-four minute pilgrimage presented by Montibus Communitas is nothing if not clear in its intentions. Each of the album’s six songs – from the slow, shining “The Pilgrim Under Stars” to the album-ending title track – is a chapter in which we find the titular pilgrim (which is the band, which is the listener, which is everything at once) on another stage of this massive, mesmerizing, metaphysical road trip. Heavy, heady, be-here-now stuff, right? Without question. Yet the …
Touch
2012 release ** "Touch is the new sound work by Tiziano Milani. Published in CDR digipak by Setola di Maiale, Touch confirms Tiziano’s status as one of the best and most appreciated Italian experimental and research composers, especially since, for this new work, he was able to avail himself of the collaboration of musicians of the caliber of Koji Nishio on piano, Hiromi Makaino on objects/electronic percussion/rhythms, Lars Musiikki on double bass/acoustic guitar, Cristian Corsi on tenor sax an…
Lust (1)
Farming, often associated with toil and drudgery, can also be a surprisingly sensual and playful activity. The rhythm of the seasons, the tactile experience of working the land, and the shared sense of accomplishment can all contribute to a heightened sense of intimacy and pleasure. Consider the act of planting seeds. The gentle touch of fingers on delicate seedlings, the anticipation of growth, and the nurturing care required can create a deeply satisfying and sensual experience.
Harvesting, to…
In Zebulon
In the early-to-mid aughts, in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, Zebulon Café Concert was the epicenter of creative music of all stripes and flavors. Proprietors Guillaume Blestel and brothers Jef and Joce Soubiran passionately created and curated a space where musicians and the music could fully blossom unfettered by norms and conventions. Zebulon was also the preferred haunt of legendary artist, poet and filmmaker Jonas Mekas who had recently moved back into the neighborhood after lea…
