New Arrivals
Embrace 1: Jupiter Storm / Partial Intersect
On Embrace 1: Jupiter Storm/Partial Intersect, Polwechsel with Magda Mayas and John Butcher fold fixed media, stopwatch scores and free low‑string improvisation into a dense, shifting topology of resonance and friction, pushing their chamber‑reductionist language into newly electronic and spatialised terrain.
Embrace 2: Chains and Grain
On Embrace 2: Chains and Grain, Polwechsel distil their chamber‑improv logic into a score grown from their own playing: a tense, breathing matrix of repeated figures, frayed textures and in‑the‑moment reactions that is rebuilt afresh every time it’s performed.
Embrace 3: Magnetron / Quarz / Obsidian
On Embrace 3: Magnetron/Quarz/Obsidian, Polwechsel with Andrea Neumann turn acousmatic tape, simulated multitracks and graphic notation into an intricate laboratory of cause and effect, where elevator doors, room ghosts and painstakingly negotiated scores yield two of their most conceptually precise and sonically uncanny works.
Embrace 4: Orakelstücke / Aquin
On Embrace 4: Orakelstücke/Aquin, Polwechsel open their rigorously quiet universe to two singular composers, Peter Ablinger and Klaus Lang, yielding a diptych where struck objects, voices and long, glowing tones summon an almost liturgical sense of mystery from everyday sound.
Last
On Last, Leda distils Sofie Herner’s loop‑based guitar minimalism into six slow‑burning pieces: proto‑industrial basement buzz, worn tape atmosphere and stubbornly simple figures that erode into something hypnotic, eerie and oddly tender over 33 minutes.

Pianoply
This is my fourth solo piano release on this wonderful label. The studio’s Yamaha piano is an older darling, bless her, with an easy mechanism and unusual bright tone - lovely to play! It was also my first time recording at Sansom Studios in the West Midlands, some distance from Lancashire where we live. The album was recorded in a few hours and is in three sections. Two tea breaks divided the music in effect, no edits, completely improvised. I was curious about recording in a studio again, most…

Psyché II
Psyché II is the sophomore album from the Neapolitan band formed by Marcello Giannini, Paolo Petrella, Andrea De Fazio, and Roberto Porzio. While their debut was rooted in the myths of the Mediterranean, Psyché II pushes beyond those borders. Here, the sea is a living, vibrant route connecting shores and cultures—from North Africa to Brazil, from the Middle East to Colombia.
The Mediterranean becomes a crossroads of different peoples, traditions, and sounds: cosmic jazz, desert blues, dub, Anat…
E.A.T.
Echo Libero is presenting a remastered version of the self-titled debut album by E.A.T., which was originally released in 1998. This forgotten experimental electronic music was ahead of its time when it was first released on CD in the late 90s. It was overlooked at the time, but it sounds more relevant than ever now. E.A.T. consists of members of the band Dunkelziffer, including the high-profile keyboardist Helmut Zerlett and progressive drummer Reiner Linke. The group also features Boris Polons…
Pequeño clima doméstico
*100 copies limited edition* The Buenos Aires–based producer’s second album on Umor Rex can be read on at least two levels. The most direct traces its origin to the influence of environmental music, as well as to some pioneers of electronic music. The album was recorded in a single session, making extensive use of loops that were later edited and condensed into the six pieces that make up Pequeño clima doméstico. This working method responds to a playful approach that runs through Entidad Animad…

The Lisu

Based on recordings of music from the Lisu communities in China and Thailand captured on site, this mix shows Gong more like a selector or dj, restricting electronic processing to a bare minimum in order to convey different histo…
