All I Know In the City
* Edition of 100 copies * Two people in a room, and not one moment of merging. That is what makes All I Know In The City remarkable, and it is not a small thing. Potliquor is the duo of pianist Sharon Udoh and turntablist Allen Moore, caught live at Elastic Arts in Chicago on 18 January 2026 and issued by Amalgam, the artist-run Chicago collective and label founded in 2015 by drummer and engineer Bill Harris, who also recorded, mixed and mastered the session. Amalgam has spent a decade documenti…
Burn the Plastic, Sell the Copper
* Edition of 100 copies * Two years of sessions went into this record, spread between 2023 and 2025 at Marmalade, the West Loop studio Ishmael Ali co-founded and works in as an engineer. Nobody was watching the clock. You can hear that in the shape of the thing: ten pieces that were never meant to add up to a single argument, solo cello miniatures wedged between full band tracks, a couple of them actual songs with words and a singer. The solo pieces may be the strangest part of it. Ali amplifies…
Goin’ Home
Albert Ayler did it once, and only once.

Songs of suffering and salvation, played with a devotional restraint that hits harder th…

For many years I've been drawn to the sound of urban and suburban spaces, and in particular I've been able to explore, in an empirical and non systematic way, the sonic environment of my street and neighborhood, with focus on the quiet moments in which one can almost hear the place breathing. Over tim…
spectral tenant
*75 copies limited edition* I have chosen my workplace environment in Dublin as my area of sonic investigation over the last year or so. Where it is or the history of it is not important as my focus is purely on the sonic character of the spaces and materials I find there, and the potential they hold for articulating noise in imaginative and engaging ways. My tendency is to go in deep and make a thorough range of recordings that give me more than adequate scope to draw on to create atmospheric c…
