Ratchet Attach It
Other Minds is pleased to present Ratchet Attach It by the Bay Area composer and impresario Charles Amirkhanian. Commissioned by Errollyn Wallen, the UK’s Royal Composer, for the 2021 Spitalfields Festival in London, Ratchet Attach It continues—and crowns—Amirkhanian's career-long fascination with the noisiest of percussion instruments: the ratchet. "The sound up close of a concert orchestral ratchet can be hair-raising," Amirkhanian writes in his composer's notes. "Also, full of bird-chirping-l…
Re-Genetic
Two works by Netherlands-based Argentine composer Claudio F Baroni where recorded speech is set against acoustic and electronic pitched sounds. The instrumental material emerges entirely from digitally aided speech analysis, which identifies occurrences of Western scale pitches within the natural intonations of speech.From these pitches, Baroni selects and assigns certain tones to instruments and electronics. The scores consist of the written speech text paired with musical notes, precisely alig…
Sea Island
*2025 repress* 2014's »Sea Island« was recorded over two years. While many of these compositions were performed live extensively prior to recording, others were constructed in the studio and are being heard for the first time here. Musically, the album represents a range of compositional approaches. Murky, densely textured depths of sound are explored with subtle pulses and pings woven within, contrasted with composed or improvised moments of acoustic instrumentation making a move into the foreg…
Pushovers
*150 copies limited edition* Beautiful edition of glass mastered CDs with hand painted covers by Tim Bradley on full color 400g offset print card stock in thick PVC sleeves that we think really compliments the, at times radical, combination of sounds and textures in the music. The works are "over painted photographs", directly inspired by Gerhard Richter's series of the same title (Übermalte Fotografien). Bradley says: "To paint over a photograph is to admit that truth is always blurred—each ges…
Is This The Land I Wish Death To Find Me
»Is This The Land I Wish Death To Find Me« was recorded on June 26, 2024 at the Tank Center for Sonic Arts in Rangely, Colorado. The recording is based on a slowly shifting set of ascending just minor thirds: 6:5, 7:6, and 13:11. Magnetic geophones were attached directly to the Tank’s steel exterior, allowing the performance to be captured through the physical resonance of the structure itself. Only a minimal amount of the microphones inside the building were mixed in for clarity. The work draws…

Malagrazia_______Landfall
*2025 stock. 190 copies limited edition* Soundtrack to the theatrical performance Malagrazia by Phoebe Zeitgeist, directed by Giuseppe Isgrò with dramaturgy by Michelangelo Zeno.

The play explores two brothers confined in a post-apocalyptic space - part bunker, part island - where they reinvent their unknown family h…

DeepeR
*2025 stock. 190 copies limited edition* Veteran electroacoustic composer Gianluca Becuzzi plunges into abyssal territories with DeepeR, a work that lives up to its title by descending into increasingly profound sonic depths.

Each track represents a further descent, where pressure increases and light diminishes, repl…
Disaster Noise
*2025 stock. 95 copies limited edition* Following his societal critique in Cosmetics For Mannequins, Daniele Ciullini embraces chaos with Disaster Noise, an album that transforms catastrophe into composition. Using his signature arsenal of manipulated field recordings, toy instruments, and found sounds, Ciullini constructs symphonies from sirens, creating beauty from emergency.
The work positions disaster not as exception but as norm, where each track documents another system failure transformed…
Mostra Collettiva
Mostra Collettiva by Complesso Gisteri—the elusive 1972 gem born from the inspired partnership of Alessandro Alessandroni and Oronzo De Filippi—returns to vinyl for the first time ever. Originally released in microscopic quantities and long considered a holy grail of Italian library music, the album has now been lovingly restored and reissued in its most faithful analog form. Under the alias Complesso Gisteri, Alessandroni and De Filippi explored a warm, pastoral palette that distills everything…
Uscire da Fuori
**Edition of 200** Originally from Sicily but living in Basel, electronic composer Marco Papiro confirms his eccentric and multifaceted personality. The sound articulation of his analog synthesizers flows into in an artificial hyperrealism of great thematic and expressive variation. The tracks unfold between ascending cosmic moments, more ecstatic meditative tones, symphonic planetary floods, exotic Afrodelic and psycho-Andean drifts. Papiro synthesises and converts echoes of acoustic wind instr…
Noor
*300 copies limited edition* Yamila presents her second album on Umor Rex, Noor. Following Visions, Yamila returns with a work that merges nature-experience listening with expansive musicality. Noor was born from her time in an ecologist community, where she sought refuge in stillness, learned from animals, and tried to forget the human. In this communion with nature, she discovered a new compositional approach: reducing acoustic noise to allow unheard voices to emerge, transforming music into a…
La Nueva Normalidad
With La Nueva Normalidad, the Rome-based cult band Mushroom’s Patience comes together very deliberately as a tight three-piece: Raf Cerroni, also known as Dither Craf, who has been the artistic force and conceptual mind behind the band since its founding 40 years ago; J. Weber (of Austrian Nový Svět); and Léo Maury (of French Niedowierzanie). It seems I’m not the only one who sees this lineup as the perfect fit – a true supergroup for the band. Alongside their voices and compositions, each membe…

Music To Watch Seeds Grow By 007: Brian D'souza
Opening its second growing season with a new work from Scottish producer Brian d'Souza, also known as Auntie Flo and his ‘Plants Can Dance’ project, the new Seeds release is an ambient composition that draws on botanical research into how sunflowers interact, cooperate, and compete beneath the soil.
‘Plants Can Dance’ considers the underground world of sunflowers, where root systems engage in complex social behaviours. Recent studies have shown that sunflowers exhibit spatial awareness and a fo…
