Tip! Edition of 300 copies. François Tusques needs no introduction to serious listeners of European free jazz. His 1965 Free Jazz album - recorded with Bernard Vitet, Michel Portal, Beb Guérin, and François Jeanneau - helped establish Paris as a vital center for the transatlantic avant-garde, laying groundwork for the city's role as spiritual home to visiting American firebrands like Don Cherry, Sunny Murray, and Clifford Thornton. His subsequent work with Barney Wilen (Le Nouveau Jazz, 1967), h…
Tuscany
*2026 Repress* Los Angeles based pianist, producer, and songwriter John Carroll Kirby traveled to Pietrasanta, Italy in the summer of 2018 on a self-imposed writing trip. During his stay he composed Tuscany, a two side-long solo piano exploration of this particular geographical envelope, a place where nature is shaped into form. Kirby would cycle 12 kilometers each day to Cascata di Malbacco, a waterfall with jade pools and silver stone, and the inspiration for Side A of Tuscany. His own Cascata…
Night Language
*200 copies limited edition* Dennis Huddleston is 36, a prolific ambient producer who releases albums on a prolific basis but never lets the quality levels dip. He often roams around different labels and for this one lands on Pure Life with six more sublime and subversive sounds. 'Pre-Dream Condition' is a slow awakening that sharpens your senses then 'Manual Dream Transmission' continues the heavenly ascent with lush arps shimmering across an infinite horizon. 'A Bright & Tranquil Light' is sof…
Una Teoría Del Ritmo
*300 copies limited edition* The new album by Mecánica Clásica, Una Teoría del Ritmo, unfolds across nine tracks as an intimate and organic rhythmic landscape. Rhythm is not something to be counted or measured, it's an odd power that shapes life and nature. Embracing rhythm is a wild experience rather than a technical concept.
The album emphasizes its strong subjectivity: rhythm exists deep within the self and at the core of perceived phenomena and listening itself transforms that kaleidoscopic …
Agate
Tip! Kitchen. Label is proud to present Agate, the latest album by Japanese artist Meitei, marking a deepening of the world he first shaped through his Kofū trilogy released between 2020 - 2023.

Agate brings together extended and newly rearranged works from across the Kofū cycle alongside new compositions and passages, refining material developed thr…
Continuation
*300 copies limited edition* Words have never been my strongest point. I have many ideas in my head, often too many. I can talk a lot about them, but putting them on paper is not really me. I rather just work on my ideas. ‘cause whatever your thoughts are, as soon as it is out there and people start to listen it becomes theirs. What I might have thought up before, and have as concept behind the music, might not be how someone else listens to it. And that’s okay. If we keep in mind that my music …
Black Seraphim
*150 copies limited edition* Separated by an ocean and a generation apart, German reedsman, Werner Durand and American stringsman, John Krausbauer, have both been devotees of the cosmic ur-drone for many decades. Their new recording on Moving Furniture Records, “Black Seraphim”, brings together for the first time their singular vision and approach in a half hour droning dirge. The setup finds Krausbauer on his oft-employed violin, while Durand continues to explore the possibilities of his self-i…
Paper Braids
*200 copies limited edition* "Paper Braids came out of a long collaboration between me and the wonderful musicians of the Kali Ensemble. Through a series of workshops, residencies, and performances over the course of four years, we built up a collective practice focused on three topics: listening as the basis of musical interaction, awareness of how sound interacts with the performance space, and using that spatial awareness as a basis for both the duration of individual sounds and the temporal …

Lustres
Our approach to making records has always involved an exchange of individually created sounds, which are joined together through live improvisation, studio recording, and the use of diagrammatic visual scores. Over the last several years, we have been interested in expanding very small fragments of these discreet pieces of audio into long-form compositions. This process has resulted in a new approach to how we build tracks from the ground up. In this particular workflow, one of us is largely resp…
Structura Parva
Filtro returns with a short ep reflecting its new approach to minimal strucures and small electronics. Sounds for night reflections and dark disquiets. Filtro is an electronic duo composed by Angelo Bignamini and Luca de Biasi. The duo focuses their research on the characteristics and properties of sound, disconnected from its original context and meaning, favoring minimalist and abstract constructions, questioning the modes of reproduction and distribution in space. They have released several m…
