Abstract Forest
Tip! On this striking new CD, Joe Morris wields his guitar with deliberate restraint, building deep layers that breathe around Brad Barrett’s cello — its bowed lines resonating with both plaintive lyricism and edgy percussive accents. Beth Ann Jones anchors the trio with a sculptural bass, her tone rich and propulsive, providing an essential counterpoint to Morris' explorations. It's a beautifully measured session—each player deep-listening, unfolding subtle dialogues, and seamlessly shifting be…
Peel/Mondo
Ada Rave and Marta Warelis, two luminaries of Amsterdam’s improvised music scene, unite on Peel/Mondo to craft a compelling dialogue between saxophone and piano. Rave, an Argentinian saxophonist renowned for her bold tenor sound and innovative techniques, joins forces with Warelis, a Polish pianist celebrated for her sonic versatility and explorations of the piano’s timbral possibilities.
Points Of Convergences
This double album was recorded on the night of June 3, 2014, at Saint-Merry Church, in the heart of Paris. Beyond its architectural beauty, Saint-Merry possesses an extraordinary acoustic quality, which has shaped countless sonic experiences and left its mark on this recording. It was in this inspiring setting that we had the privilege of recording this music with Michel Doneda, in a moment of deep immersion, carried by the unique resonance of the space. The talented Augustin Muller masterfully …

Retinal Rivalry is the soundtrack to Cyprien Gaillard’s new stereoscopic film, Retinal Rivalry (2024). It is an entrancing journey through Germany’s urban landscape and its layers of historical and social significance. Building on his previous exploration of the sculptural qualities of three-dimensional moving images, the work extends beyond the confines of the screen. By harnessing cutting-edge technology to its full potential, Gaillard offers an expanded, sharpened and deeply affecting novel v…

My Hair Is Everywhere
Rooted in improvisation and guided by openness, the Klinck Trio—Adia Vanheerentals (saxophone, voice), Maya Dhondt (piano, voice), and Elisabeth Klinck (violin, voice)—crafts music where sound and silence are equally vital. Their debut album is an exploration of fragility, unfolding like a delicate conversation in which each note is chosen with intention and every pause carries presence. Recorded in the summer of 2024 at Studio Ledeberg, 'My Hair Is Everywhere' captures a moment in time: three m…
Through The Wall
A trickle of audio fragments exchanged between two locked down bedrooms becomes a flood of sound, emotion and connection.
Sùrtum
Massimo Silverio is one of the most distinctive names in the new Italian music scene, carving out a niche within the independent landscape with his unconventional idea of songwriting — influenced by the folklore of Carnia, electronic textures, and a highly personal approach to songwriting. Surtùm arrives two years after Hrudja (2023), the album that established Silverio as one of the most intriguing emerging artists in Italy, blending the metalinguistic folklore of Sigur Rós, the gothic arrangem…
Sound Of The Wetlands

Composers and artists from both cities met to discuss the SoundLapse project, and discussed ways in which we might collaborate. Recordi…
Stay Still
"A sociolinguist, composer, and writer, Erell Latimier explores the aesthetic, poetic, and political dimensions of language, with a particular focus on speech. In her compositional work, she engages in an infinitely precise process of setting her writings to sound, concentrating on the interaction between fragments of her texts—interpreted by voices—and sounds, whether collected or created, which are assembled into rich and shadowy semantic echoes. These disrupted discourses function as ghostly …
Apocrypha Solo Piano
"Once upon a time before dubstep, there was MXLX. A pre-teen pioneer pisstaker from the same era that spat out Black Dice, Liars, Lightning Bolt, Sunn O))), he's been forging his posi-noise/negi-trance universe 'The Croatoa Institute' for decades now. Matthew Loveridge, the lovable hater you hate to love presents a suite of post-modern minimal piano. I don't know anything about pianos but it reminds me a bit of Su Tissue's 'Salon De Musique' and Luciano Cilio's 'Dialoghi Del Presente'. I love th…
