Holzweg
Forest Factory is the duo of fellow nomads Elvin Brandhi and Andreas Trobollowitsch. Each using self-made turntables, sampler and voice to create a unique acoustic repertoire, suffusing computational and organic tonalities. Their vinyl debut Holzweg is a compositional amalgamation of recording sessions made in diverse ecosystems: Auditorium Novecento, Naples (2023), Ruang MES 56, Yogyakarta (2024), and their Japan tour in 2024. Redefining themselves in a range of contexts lends fluidity and plur…

Mannequin
"After Aktor and Quietism last year, the Scotsman is in top form, churning out albums that are stunning in their intelligence and pop refinement. If Mannequin is so good, it's for three main reasons. The first is that Momus has returned from his experiments that saw him playing around with AI or composing K-pop songs. We welcome with delight his return to the basics of a pure and perfect pop characterised by a certain economy of means, a DIY ethos — a synth-pop hodgepodge that suits him perfectl…
zakè (20th Anniversary Edition)
Although this is zakè’s debut release on PITP (2019), these arrangements were originally created in 2006. Sharing a fitting description of the label name with the release, it truly is the ‘Past Inside the Present’. These time-worn selections unfold like a slow-moving cascade, quiet, delicate, and gracefully drifting. The understated arrangements weave together warm, ambient drones that shift from faint lo-fi textures, while sinewy mid-tonal synths sway between idle afternoon reflections and hazy…
In A Small Room, Decades Ago
“Hanging in the chill out rooms of the 1990’s rave scene inspired me to create my first ambient album, Atmospherics over 30 years ago. For this album I wanted to journey back and create a love letter to those magical times, and the energy that was felt in those small rooms decades ago.” - JB
String Quartets
Rand Steiger’s Introspective Trilogy is a series of string quartets with electronics composed over a period of eight years for the JACK Quartet. Reflecting on emotional states through musical expression, the quartets explore intense feelings of anger, frustration, and despair in response to alarming political developments in the U.S. and globally, from 2016 when the project began, to catastrophic recent developments. Steiger relates the resurgence of xenophobia and well-known elements of authori…
Désert Méditerranéen
The pianistic writing of Giorgos Koumendakis represents a rare encounter of delicacy, intellectual concentration, and profound compositional coherence. It belongs to a free post-modernity, rooted in the continuity of certain Eastern European composers who developed an independent and original modernity. The cycle Mediterranean Desert, which forms the central axis of this album, is a work for piano consisting of 22 pieces inspired by Mediterranean flora and fauna. It offers a distinctive sound ma…
Loo(p)cy
This album is intended to be a retrospective view of Luigi Manfrin’s compositional journey. Rather than following a chronological order, it identifies loops that run through his musical production: recurrences, foldings and returns that never replicate the same pattern, but instead reactivate structural tensions in different contexts. At the core is the idea of sound as an immanent experience. The unity of the album lies not in the identity of its materials, but in the constant questioning of th…
Stella Kola
Originally self-released in 2023, Stella Kola, the debut album from Beverly Ketch (Jow Jow, Weeping Bong Band) and Robert Thomas (Sunburned Hand of the Man, Dalthom), now returns in a renewed edition - bringing wider attention to a record that already felt like a quietly essential artifact from the moment it first appeared.Given the pair’s respective roots - and the presence of collaborators drawn from across the Northeast experimental underground - one might expect “a brutal blast of acid swirl…
Sommer Im Pfirsichhain
Second edition of 500 on transparent red vinyl. Brannten Schnüre is an experimental dark folk group out of Würzburg, Germany. Christian Schoppik composed and played all the music, Katie Rich whispers, recites and sings. Together they make astoundingly beautiful folk with a rich instrumentation leaning towards the atonal spectrum. Instrumental wanderings stand alongside Nico-esque poetry tales. Christian plays the accordeon and in some songs guitar and flute. Inspired by hierophants like Nový Svě…
Geträumt Hab Ich Vom Martinszug
Second edition of 500 on transparent green vinyl. The third stanza of Friedrich Hölderlin’s poem ‘Dem sonnengott’ evokes a narrator who is tortured by Spleen until slumber makes his childlike gloom disappear with music. Although today’s readers might judge these nineteenth century musings of the Imagination as mere stylistic platitudes, they also still speak beyond the grave as universal truths. A mere two hundred years later, similar anxieties and hopes are still channeled through various art f…
