BLK+LND / K&L for KL
Big tip! K&L for KL and BLK+LND bring together two of Phill Niblock's final compositions, conceived by Niblock as companion works and intended to travel together. Released by Sub Rosa, the record preserves a pairing that Niblock himself wanted heard as a whole. In 2022, Niblock asked bass clarinetists Katie Porter, based in New York, and Lucio Capece, based in Berlin, to record K&L for KL, a work for two bass clarinets and electronic playback. Porter and Capece perform together as Phase to Phase…
Drëun
This is supposed to be a 40th anniversary reissue. Well, it's still this but with year of a delay.. Well, it's still it but with year of a delay. It was told enough about the early Metgumbnerbone recordings. We just keep some quotes here.
"It’s hard to imagine anything more haunting than the folk horror ritual sounds which Metgumbnerbone conjured forth in the Ruins of Industry." - Kristian Olsson, Shock Tilt
"Working mainly with percussion, Metgumbnerbone evolves an improvisational continuum tha…
S∞S

Their practice delves into tuning, electricity, spatiality, psychoacoustics, and the fundamental principles of sound, with live performances unfolding through improvisation and the dialogue unique to each setting.The album, "S∞S", treats sound as a living organism — alive with resonance,…
Mothers of All
*300 copies limited edition* Mothers of All is Mark Gomes' second album as Blue Chemise for Students of Decay, following 2018’s acclaimed Daughters of Time. Though built from very different materials, it shares its predecessor's economy, sense of proportion, and fascination with the ways domestic life can open onto larger and less easily defined realms. Where Daughters of Time evoked tender, if alien, nursery songs, Mothers of All takes the form of spectral salon music heard at a temporal and ge…
Baby Ghost
»Baby Ghost« is the debut album by double bassist and vocalist Jordan Sand. Released through Hallow Ground, it blurs the lines between different genres and modes of expressions, improvisation and composition and showcases the unique playing style the composer has developed. Sand blends her voice with the bowed harmonics and subharmonics of her double bass. At once conceptually rigorous and musically open-ended, Sand’s wordless meditations on death and what comes after are both visceral and explo…
Rapid Response
Three long-form compositions that peer through a glimmering aperature into diaphanous realms of textural experiences: “What are the pros and cons of being lost in a thought?”
Figures
*50 copies limited edition* Paul Sakai identifies as a cultural nomad, existing between cultural and physical spaces. Born in the United States, they are a yonsei Japanese American raised as part of the international community in Southeast Asia as a Third Culture Kid. Their work is an act of grounding – a practice of connecting their present body to place, people, and cultural histories. Their project, Roy Kiyo, is an extension of this practice. Works under this project are broadly catalogued as…
Presage
*50 copies limited edition* »presage« is an act of sonic foraging: shortwave radio transmissions and field recordings were collected around Helsinki, then assembled and transformed into two long-form pieces. Collecting radio brings with it a particular uncertainty, as signals may have travelled enormous distances before arriving stripped of their context and misted with static, interference, and the imprint of atmospheric conditions. A field recording is a more certain and geographically secure …

Single# Four (7")
*300 copies limited edition* At this point the vast swathes of unreleased Muslimgauze material Bryn Jones left behind when he passed away over 25 years ago is as legendary as any of his work. And sure enough, there's still some being unearthed today. The fourth entry is in a 7" single series taken from one of Jones' customary completely unlabelled DATs he sent to labels seemingly as fast as he finished them. A new series of singles collecting one of Bryn Jones’ innumerable DAT tapes that would s…
François de Roubaix, 50 Ans Après.
"Sacre du Tympan is my orchestra and my instrument of expression for the past 25 years. With this ensemble, which has flexible (variable) instrumentation and has to its name about a dozen albums, along with numerous concerts in France and abroad, I express myself as both a composer and an arranger. In 2008, we created a program for the Jazz à la Villette festival with five musicians, prioritizing electronic music and synthesizers in the music of De Roubaix, a pioneer of the home studio and of sy…
Three Movements from “Some Kind of Seasoning”
We are proud to release Three Movements from “Some Kind of Seasoning” by the eminent Warren Burt: composer (and performer, writer, instrument builder, educator) of genius. Burt was born in 1949 in the USA, and moved to Australia in 1975. Throughout his long and inspired career, his expansive aesthetic has eagerly embraced microtonality, improvisation and technology, fusing these elements in often humorous and/or irreverent compositions based on live interaction with intelligent or semi-intellige…
Free Jazz Dell’Inferno (No Self, No Swing, No Jazz)
Úgjü is a sound reflexes. A guttural protosonic babble or screech. The first phase of language acquisition among humans. Úgju, is a powerfull “Name" from something like a deity in that secret universal spoken language in the first months of life by all the newborns of the world; a protolanguage that transfers all the ancestral codes together with our DNA ... like a biologic operating system installation. So “Úgjü” is the beginning, and “Sectas” (in the sense of all religions) that destroyed…
If I'm Not A Woman Why Do I Ache Like One
If I'm Not A Woman Why Do I Ache Like One is performed using a Roland FP-30 digital piano and a pedal board. The title relates to my experience of being on the receiving end of misogyny as a gender fluid, transmasc person. I always feel a level of gender dysphoria whenever I am perceived as a woman, but when that perception is paired with misogyny it adds a whole other layer of anger and ache. Being told I am less than because someone perceives me as female not only makes me feel dysphoric, it a…
Azoth : Music For The Pyramis Harp
The trio Bolt Of Void reveals signals that arrive across warped space-time. Their alchemical soundings glide through ancient forms, pulling the listener in and out of a lucid state of being. It is in this arc of descending and ascending motion that spirit is congealed from the fog of nothingness. Through a hypnogogic portal the ear is met with something intimately close and delicate, and also evading perception along a distant horizon, heard but unconfined. Sound in its ability to be perceived a…
Poetland
Cyess Afxzs presents Poetland, a raw and immersive album exploring the unstable territories of **noise, experimental music, and tape manipulation. Built from distorted textures, fragments, feedback, and degraded sound, Poetland turns the cassette medium into an instrument of transformation. The album unfolds as an unpredictable sonic landscape—physical, intimate, and constantly shifting between chaos and atmosphere.
Ile-Ife
The sounds on Ile-Ife are made with tapes, mixer, feedback, and curiosity. Working with the physical qualities of recorded media and the unpredictable behavior of electronic feedback, Piercing creates a tactile and exploratory sound world in which texture, repetition, distortion, and chance become essential elements of the composition.
A Study on Tension
Rather than offering a single narrative, A Study on Tension unfolds as an atmosphere. The tape focuses on the thresholds between attraction and resistance, intimacy and distance, stability and collapse. Its fragmented structure invites the viewer to remain attentive to small gestures, pauses, interruptions, and the accumulation of pressure over time.
Nothing's Gonna Hurt You
Quietly intense and deeply atmospheric, Nothing’s Gonna Hurt You unfolds through fragile textures and a persistent sense of tension. Torstensen’s music occupies the space between intimacy and distance, creating an immersive listening experience that feels both carefully composed and instinctive.
