C(or)N(e)T
Enter the hypnotic sound-world of C(or)N(e)T - the new collaboration between cornet players, inventors and virtuoso musical wizards Pierre Bastien & Louis Laurain. Recorded in residence at The Rose Hill studios in 2023 this utterly unique album is a kind of electro-acoustic Fiesta! At times it’s a combination of organic techno and free jazz, like a joyful train ride through a mechanised junglescape.. Their set up is wildly creative and full of modified objects: automaton cornet mutes, underwater…
Zahrada
A pivotal document of the early 90s Czech alternative music scene, Zahrada, the deeply immersive 1992 album by Prague-based composer and sound artist Jaroslav Kořán – finally makes its vinyl debut via Infinite Expanse. Originally issued on cassette by Logo Records and then reissued on the same format to mark the label’s inaugural release in 2022, this rare and immersive work now finds its most definitive release yet.
A patient and deeply intuitive album, Zahrada turns everyday sound into somethi…
Holland Festival

This first-time vinyl edition captures the essence of an audacious and provocative Fluxus art event which remains a landmark in the Dutch avant-garde scene.
The recordings, captured over four consecutive nights, were edited at the Exart studio in IJmuiden and …
Mutualism
Filterbeds was Jim Whelan, Natalie Williams and Mark Courtney. I have typed this first sentence out so many times in my mind and broken down. Left wondering the incomprehensible fate of friendships; the loneliness of death; the staggering shock of grief. And then there’s the sheer marvel of sharing, caring, crying with laughter, revelatory joy, smiles, dancing, hugs, trips and….and….creating something from ordinary nothing.
This release comes with the heaviest of hearts. The exhilaration matched…
In Different Rooms
In early spring 2023, with the end of Covid-19 in China, MK helped produce this album for Rubey. Focusing on the piano atmosphere and framework of the Night Piano Project, MK added some flowing sounds and textures to Rubey's original tracks using a guitar, delay effects, and a synthesizer. At the same time, Ding Mao, another member of the band Hualun, contributed on two tracks. Of course, all production processes were completed at night; capturing the quiet atmosphere of traditional Eastern natu…
Defiant Life
Anchored in the idea that, despite all obstacles, the human experience casts a net of possibilities, Defiant Life – Vijay Iyer and Wadada Leo Smith second duo recording for ECM – proves a profound meditation on the human condition and both the suffering and resilience it entails. An ethereal iridescence glistens between Leo Smith’s unmistakable trumpet wail and Vijay’s textural key strokes on piano and Fender Rhodes, conjuring multi-dimensional spaces of thoughtful musical conversation. “We work…
Tractus
Tractus emphasizes Arvo Pärt compositions that blend the timbres of choir and string orchestra. New versions predominate, with focused performances from the Tallinn Chamber Orchestra and the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir under Tõnu Kaljuste’s direction that invite alert and concentrated listening. From the opening composition Littlemore Tractus, which takes as its starting point consoling reflections from a sermon by John Henry Newman, the idea of change, transfiguration and renewal resona…

Shell I
*120 copies limited edition* Shell I is the second edition on Edições CN by Brussels sound artist Florence Cats. It is a magical collection of 23 edits for voice, field recordings, theremin and piano. Cats’ recorded piano rehearsals and singing sketches reminds us of Cornelius Cardew works. They are at the heart of Edições CN, where a sketch or rehearsal holds as much, if not more, truth than a definitive composition.
A melody line from Debussy passes by. Waves crash in the distance. Sails and f…
Sometimes Things Change
*120 copies limited edition* Sometimes Things Change is an album after a year of profound change. A year with a new job, moving houses, and many visits to the IVF clinic. Sometimes Things Change brings closure, and is an artistic starting point. In the course of seven compositions memories, thoughts and fantasia meet. “The sounds (…) they’re from whatever I happen to be doing wherever I happen to be. But these sounds hold memories because I was there, living those moments.” These recorded sound…
Cordial
On ‘Cordial’, Ursula Sereghy traces the sensation of home; not as a place, but as something fleeting and deeply felt. Comfort appears in glimpses, nestled between moments of dissonance and unraveling structure. There is joy, but it carries the weight of absence, the quiet grief of realizing what was missing all along. A laughter that is both liberating and bittersweet.
Sereghy’s music moves with no fixed center, shedding hierarchies and opening itself to the unknown. Sounds unravel and reform: f…

Tote Winkel
In spring 2022, Sankt Otten released their album “Symmetrie und Wahnsinn”, and now the next record is ready to enlighten our maltreated minds. “Tote Winkel” (Blind spots) is once again part of an album series with a geometric context, both creatively and musically. Stephan Otten and Oliver Klemm made productive use of 2021, which has been decelerated to the maximum by Corona. For the first time, an external studio was booked (Mühle der Freundschaft, Bad Iburg) and the pool of analog synthesizers…
Hymnen und Helden
Alongside with the release of the new album “Tote Winkel”, Sankt Otten will be delighting us with another limited vinyl bonus release. “Hymnen und Helden” (hymns and heroes) is a collection of cover versions created over the last few years. As the album title suggests, it pays homage to self-proclaimed musical hymns and heroes from the seventies and eighties.
Sankt Otten’s adaptation of David Bowies “Heroes” is equipped with warm Juno 106 sounds, ebow guitar and synthesizer pads. The German “He…

Música Aperta

Drawing inspiration from Erik Satie's concept of "furniture music," Melmann's compositions transform the listening experience into havens of calm and contemplation. Música Aperta is a fusion of acoustic and electronic sounds, rich in beautiful harmonies, where carefully soft elements interplay with delicate raspiness. Made up of three parts, the musi…
Wagadu Grooves Vol.2: The Hypnotic Sound of Camara 1991-2014
In Paris, a creative force of artists molded the cultural identity of the Malian diaspora, infusing the city’s eclectic mix of sounds with their own rich heritage. At the heart of it all was Gaye Mody Camara, a towering figure in Malian music and culture since the late 1970s. Born in Abidjan and raised in Kayes, he grew up fascinated by the rhythms of Wassoulou, steeped in the rhythms of a land shaped by diverse ethnicities and traditions, including the Peul, Bambara, and Dogon. His migration to…
