Iivana Mišukka
Death Is Not The End present a further volume of Arja Kastinen's eerie amalgamations of 110 year old wax cylinders with her own meticulously transcribed takes, this time focussing in on Armas Otto Väisänen's field recordings of kantele player Iivana Mišukka (b. 1861 d.1919).
Ritual Fever
There are moments of silent depth in which the winter of the scalpel of meaning and the spring of the sound-born, unleashed body look upon the world fully present. When the notes at last are heard, the ordered world is their indistinguishable score. The ritual of process is that which carries. The process of ritual is that which brings moments both transitory and immortal, apprehended by musician, seer, clairvoyant, herald; the welling tones that emanate from the crystal salt of shattered primor…
A Dwelling of the Mind Protruding Through the Head
Wizardmaster is the experimental electronic music project of Oakland-based musician Mark Stramaglia with long-time collaborator Oliver Kollar. Both were members of Operation Re-Information (ORI), which released albums on Vinyl Communications.
This release features improvised electronic recordings focused on mood, texture, and tonality, incorporating noisy synthesis, found and appropriated sound, irregular rhythms, and narrative structures inspired by soap operas. The album uses only homemade mus…
Cirkelmusik
*50 copies limited edition* This CD is inscribed with physical defects (scratches with a needle) covering track 8 which consist of a 22049 Hz inaudible sinewave. This will produce audible artefacts, different in nature depending on the CD player used for playback. Tracks 1-6 are recordings of track 8 applying different forms of physical scratches. The results can be described as simple rhytmic studies, some surprisingly jazzy in nature. Timbre-wise only the pure artefacts are heard, contary to e…

Quatrain / A Flock Descends Into The Pentagonal Garden
Containing what are easily among the important and celebrated works by Tōru Takemitsu, arguably Japan's most important and celebrated 20th Century avant-garde composer, 'Quatrain / A Flock Descends Into The Pentagonal Garden' was originally issued by Deutsche Grammophon in 1980. Had the Avant-Garde series not concluded nine years prior, it certainly would have been contained within its ranks. Illuminating a crucial juncture within the composer's career which not only found him fully embracing ac…
Acustica
Composed between 1968 and 1970 and originally issued by Deutsche Grammophon in 1972, there are arguably few works within the canon of 20th Century experimental music as beloved and sought after as the Argentine composer Mauricio Kagel’s ‘Acustica’. Created for “experimental sound-producers and loudspeakers”, comprising electroacoustic material assembled on 4-track tape in 1969 at Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR) in Cologne, and acoustic material for 2 to 5 musicians, scored over roughly 200 filing-…
Avantgarde (4LP Bundle)
Special discounted Bundle.

Originally issued by Deutsche Grammophon between 1970 and 1980, out of print on vinyl for decades, all three now return as deluxe limited editions - eac…
The Watchers
On The Watchers, eight Todmorden‑based artists summon a new, collectively woven score for Richard Foster’s 1969 cult short, amplifying its semi‑rural folk horror, UFO lore and moorland unease into a creaking, psychic soundscape.
Reverse Acceleration of Dragons
On Reverse Acceleration of Dragons, Radx (X.Y.R. & Vlad Dobrovolski) drift through retro‑synth mirages and sci‑fi haze, blending Cascone‑esque electronica and “living machine” dragons into a soft‑focus, humid strand of 12th Isle ambient.
ātamōn
On ātamōn, Amina Hocine turns construction‑site plumbing into a breathing organism, casting foghorn‑born “sound crystals” through an abandoned Swedish mine in two long drone rituals where inner archetypes, architecture and air negotiate in slow, searing waves.
With You in My Arms
With You in My Arms by John Michael Roch is a once‑lost mid‑’70s Los Angeles private‑press gem: fragile pop‑rock‑psych songs that sit perfectly beside Michael Angelo and Justen O’Brien & Jake, now finally restored from total obscurity with the care they always deserved.
People In Sorrow
Remastered LP edition. Finally back in print! Originally released by EMI's Pathé Marconi imprint in 1969, People in Sorrow — a 40-minute work by the four-piece lineup of Roscoe Mitchell, Joseph Jarman, Lester Bowie, and Malachi Favors — has long been unavailable on vinyl and CD, and then only in hard-to-find European and Japanese issues. It is arguably the finest and most ambitious of the 14 studio albums recorded by the Art Ensemble of Chicago during their 23-month sojourn in France, which laun…
Declensio
On Declension, Sissy Spacek’s core duo John Wiese and Ch. Mumma condense their most feral impulses into two mid‑2024 blowouts, erecting sheer walls of cascading electronics and scorched‑throat vocals that feel like being dropped into a collapsing star.
Live Non-Plus Ultra
On Live Non-Plus Ultra, Strain of Laws—the duo of Aaron Hemphill and John Wiese—drag voice and electronics through a pressure system of sub‑bass, hiss and mumbled fragments, documenting their 2025 LA set as a single, slowly suffocating industrial hallucination.
Third Night Sparks
On Third Night Sparks, Akio Jeimus, Risa Takeda and T. Mikawa bottle a one‑off Bar Isshee trio into a crackling nocturne of electronics and synths, where noise iconoclasm and poised, in‑the‑moment listening fuse into a single live current.
They Came Like Swallows - Seven Requiems for the Children of Gaza
On They Came Like Swallows – Seven Requiems for the Children of Gaza, Bonner Kramer and Thurston Moore channel decades of noise, songcraft and studio sorcery into seven slow‑burning laments, where volcanic drones, grief‑stricken melody and a haunted Joy Division cover fuse into a stark act of sonic mourning and resistance.
Morte Lilás
On Morte Lilás, Força Maior (Pedro Alves Sousa & Pedro Tavares) turn a decaying 400‑year‑old farm into an instrument, spinning sax‑sourced, electronics‑blurred meditations that move like slow weather between trance and lucid, lilac‑tinted reverie.
