Loss
*170 copies limited edition* "Between September and November of 2024, I turned to sonic art making to cope with personal grief and to reestablish a sense of purpose after a family loss. Like a ritual, I developed a weekday routine, working in my studio from 1:30 to 5:30 PM consisting of field recording and improvisation with sine waves and objects. From this material, I composed six pieces that emphasize continuity and repetition, drawing on coarse, low, and deep resonances to embody the rituali…
kdi dctb 295 {e} — Le Libre
*170 copies limited edition* "It was looking at the map—in 2013—that led me to the Libre Valley. The name itself, "Le Libre" is rather unusual and certainly catches the eye. The map also reveals large, uninhabited areas far from transportation routes—particularly the entire area between St-Martin-des-Puits and Villerouge-Termenès—rocky, arid regions where the ruins of old sheepfolds can still be found, and even a chapel perched atop a hill.
I had just finished my work on the Taurion River — kdi…
Juho Toivonen / Civilistjavel!
Double feature stint on Kashual Plastik. Twofold recreational Nordic spice, cultivated for dreamy solitude escapades and meditative tune voyages in witchcraft mood. Side A comes from Finnish experimental musician Juho Toivonen, shaped in his home in the city of Pori. A veiled minimalistic dream of gentle noise loops and environmental sounds, meeting a desiring voice that echoes haunting, mantra-like lyrics. Ship horns and other slow mechanic found sounds convoy it into eternity, while we, the au…

The Missing Boys - Selection Of Sardinian Wave 1980-1989
*2026 stock* “The Missing Boys” is a film born from the need to tell the story of the emergence and affirmation of a forgotten music scene, like much of the youth movement that spread in metropolitan areas as well as in the provinces more than forty years ago, dealing with the same critical issues of everywhere. It’s a story of mostly unknown bands, who from Sardinia, especially from Cagliari and Sassari, interrupt the blissful isolation of an island, only apparently distant from that revolution…
Millesuoni
In Millesuoni, Deleuze Guattari e la musica elettronica (2008), Emanuele Quinz distills some of the key ideas on the nature of sound formulated by Deleuze and Guattari over the course of their work. Central among them is the dynamic of territorialization and deterritorialization—a strategy of appropriation and subsequent release, activated in the alternation between refrain and music.
A child humming alone to ward off the fear of the dark is engaging in a process of territorialization, marking a…
Automation Studies Volume 1
This triple disc release documents Stefan Goldmann's earliest electroacoustic works. These clear-cut algorithmic compositions, mostly created between 1999 and 2001, were built entirely with the TC Fireworx processor's internal synthesizer and effects. Generated and recorded anew for this release with the original programs, a central component of Stefan Goldmann's sound aesthetic is revisited and becomes available in pure form for the first time. His proprietary Fireworx algorithms feature pr…
