Holy Tongue are a trio composed of Valentina Magaletti, Susumu Mukai, and Al Wootton. Accomplished musicians in their own right, they create expansive rhythmic music that moves freely through dub, trance, post-punk, free improvisation and cinematic psychedelia. Such a dynamic energy and force is mapped across a trilogy of critically acclaimed EPs, their debut album Deliverance and Spiritual Warfare and their collaborative album with dub-pioneer Shackleton. The trio recorded a series of improvisa…

*Edition of 100* K/S/R (Ben Kujawski, Abigail Smith & Justin Rhody) have been performing and recording together since 2022. Recorded by the band themselves during a full week of day-long sessions - violin, percussion, lap steel, accordion, flute, guitar, harmonica, and rhodes piano were each stretched, damaged & made to sing through various extended techniques. The trio's non-concentric approach to collective improvisation mirrors the dark harmonic density and symbiotic formal structures of the …

On Eleven Poems, Chris Philpot, Justin Rhody and Abigail Smith bring fractured language into contact with bowed taishōgoto and vibrating percussion. Recorded in Santa Fe, these eleven miniature encounters trade conventional accompaniment for a shared attention to timbre, spacing and resonance, letting poetry and sound unsettle one another.

On Le Carnaval Perdu, Elizabeth Vogler turns voice, shruti-box drones and electroacoustic transformations into a personal folklore. Invented languages meet Béarnais lyrics; echoes of celebration flicker through dense sonic layers. Drawing on pop, bal folk and Bulgarian polyphony, the album makes carnival a threshold between communal ecstasy and loss.

Frank Denyer's String Quartets 2 to 6, played by the Luna Quartet with heavy mutes at the volume of a conversation: microtonal single-movement pieces with sung notes, pellet bells, a buzzing string and a tap-dancer's shoe, meant to be heard in sequence.

A five-movement ensemble work by Ed Cooper, purely acoustic after years of music with electronics, played by the new Leeds group Tahdig: sharp changes of material, one movement pairing Cocteau Twins with Laure Hiendl, and numbness as the nearest thing to a subject.

Magnus Granberg's hour-long piece for Skogen's twentieth anniversary, played by thirteen musicians including Toshimaru Nakamura: composed frameworks and improvisation built from a Bach aria, recorded at Atlantis in Stockholm in November 2025.

A single 45-minute solo for viola, written by Timothy McCormack with and for Marco Fusi: the bow moves so slowly that the tone breaks into separate pulses, and pressure, contact point and speed become the material of the piece.

Three chamber works by Zeynep Toraman, each played by a different ensemble and recorded in concert: slow, sustained melodic lines that rework a Beethoven intermezzo or her own earlier pieces, two of them with electronics folded into the live instruments.

“Jeddah Roundabouts: Circling the City” is a photographic and conversational study of public sculptures embedded within Jeddah’s urban circulation. Scattered across roundabouts and major arteries, these monumental, eccentric, modernist, at times brutalist, works form an overlooked open-air museum that has shaped the city’s visual and social landscape for decades. The book offers a rare perspective on Jeddah’s sculptural heritage and its connection to the civic ambitions of the city’s former mayo…

“Hurtling Between” is an apt description of the way Barry Altschul plays drums: effortlessly moving between swing and free playing. It’s also a fitting analogy for the current historical moment, in which there’s often a feeling of catapulting between awareness and denial. During the pandemic, Joe Fonda asked me if I would join him in a trio session at Barry’s house. We began to play semi-regularly, developing a rapport. Barry’s living room is filled with the accumulated trappings of a jazz life.…

The seventh edition of the Poznań Spontaneous Music Festival unfolded under the motto “Noise/ Silence”, and it was precisely between these two extremes that the story of a certain October afternoon in 2023 stretched out. On the festival’s second day, in the empty hall of Dragon Social Club, before the evening concerts began, four musicians who had never shared a stage before came together. The goal: collective improvisation, without a plan, without a map, with intuition as the only compass. The …

Three distinct musical voices come together on Crapaud, a new album by Tazio Caputo, Lucas Gaudin and Matías Riquelme. The record invites listeners into a world shaped by exchange, curiosity and the possibilities that emerge when artists create together. Rather than following a single path, Crapaud unfolds as a meeting place: a space for ideas to take shape, shift and find unexpected connections. Its title sets the tone for an album that feels open to discovery—one that rewards close listening w…

Threnody is the working free-improv trio of Swedish sax hero Martin Küchen and double bass player Johan Berthling, both also collaborate in Küchen’s Angles groups, and English drummer Steve Noble. The group released its first live album in 2015. This is now, after eleven years the fourth instalment of this extraordinary trio’s musical journey.

Ricercar (from the Italian "ricercare"), meaning “to search” or “to seek”, is a musical form that developed and flourished in a very interesting way in the 16th and 17th centuries. It was practiced by the greatest polyphonists and improvisers of the time: Giovanni Gabrieli, Girolamo Frescobaldi, and, ultimately, Johann Sebastian Bach (the six-voice ricercar from Musikalisches Opfer). It was always about the interaction between instruments, about dialogue, and about finding a common musical path.…

Wadada Leo Smith, Joe Fonda and Reggie Nicholson together. A trio of trumpet, double bass and drums. Six compositions/improvisations – or perhaps six sonic poems – filled with magic, contemplation and deep reflection.

Eighteen movements gathered over nearly a decade, zakè's third Orchestral Tape Studies, closing with rearticulations by bvdub, Wayne Robert Thomas and Abul Mogard with Rafael Anton Irisarri.

moto jenn walker is a ambient twee artist based in Tallahassee, Florida. His work often features samples from early amateur internet videos, permanent memories uploaded online for only a small number of users to witness while examining the relation between physical and digital life. 'nite owls reading stratus clouds' is his first conceptual album release and recounts a summer road trip as two friends rely on various infatuations across the country, with instrumentation ranging from acoustic bit-…

Arkangelo (b. 1996) is a multidisciplinary artist exploring the skin as canvas, boundary, and bridge. Merging fabric, form, and feelings, she creates experiential works that invite closeness - where comfort, vulnerability, and sensuality meet. Her practice is a living process, driven by presence, transformation, and spontaneous collaboration that seeks to be felt as much as seen. Omar Cheikh, 1996, works with drawing and sounds. He has collaborated with several independent and self-productions p…

*Handmade sleeves carton and metal string* What does sound remember? Probably everything. The room. The machine. A hand touching a string. Electricity getting nervous. A voice that forgot it was supposed to speak. William Henry Meung listens. Then records. Then cuts, shifts, layers, destroys - and remembers again.  Based in Queensland, Australia, Meung is an experimental musician, composer, producer, and visual artist whose practice has been quietly multiplying somewhere between outsider music, …

*300 copies limited edition* Almost two years after the release of Shelter, Orion and Turner Williams Jr.'s first LP Krakatoa, and following a live at the Instants Chavirés; here's Krakatoa second opus - pursuing their ECM-style esoteric improvisations, on the border in between the softest moments of Miles Davis's electric era and Don Cherry, Jon Hassell’s fourth world recordings... Swampy and murky jams of electronic, strings and inhabited vocals.

"Warbler Wind" is a sequence of selected tracks from the live recording of Shoko Numao’s solo concert held at Waseda Hoshien Scott Hall in Tokyo on May 23. This is Numao's second solo album, following “The Siwnin Sails” (elsewhere 037/elsesong 003), which was released on elsewhere music in November 2025. In this album, Numao's poetic and introspective world of music reached new horizons. Beautifully resonating through the 105-year-old church's spacious acoustics, her musical personality reaches …

Laura Cetilia's work evokes a sense of crossing a threshold between traditional classical music and experimental soundscapes. Within an acoustic resonance that respects the natural reverberations of each space, rippling waves of subtle disturbances create a mixed sensation of classical roots and a refreshing encounter with the unknown. This offers a glimpse into Cetilia's vast and profound world. 'ephemeral bloom' is an album of four new pieces composed by by US-based composer and cellist Laura …

This album contains three new works by Italian composer Giuliano d'Angiolini: 'Ulteriori frammenti', 'Stato dell'arte', and '(V)an (O) de(R) (T) weid(E)n (X)', following his previous four albums, 'Simmetrie di ritorno' (Edition RZ, 2010), ‘Cantilena’ (Another Timbre, 2016), ‘Antifona’ (Another Timbre, 2020), and ')))(((' (elsewhere 033, 2024).

Greek composer Anastassis Philippakopoulos has been a member of the Wandelweiser composers collective since 2003. His distinctive compositional language explores a new kind of modal music, deeply rooted in his individuality and in the environment of his life in Athens. His music brings together stoic minimalism, the warm colors of modern romanticism, and the introspective depth of zen. 'piano works II' presents eleven solo piano pieces composed between 2019 and 2026, continuing the exploration b…

*50 copies limited edition* Named after the "Black Tide" (Kuroshio), the North Pacific ocean current that carries warm tropical waters along Japan’s eastern coast, the album translates large-scale oceanic circulation into an uninterrupted, slowly evolving sonic journey. Rather than relying on abrupt transitions, Kuroshio unfolds with glacial momentum through layered micro-textures, deep tonal resonance, and fluid harmonic drift. The Kuroshio current is an immense kinetic mass moving without disr…
