More early-1970s free music from the MND circle, taped mostly at Hamburg's Fabrik: Sven-Åke Johansson, Norbert Eisbrenner and cellist Peter Dyck with guests, on a double LP that follows Freedom Suite.
A tenth of a second of an Alpine ibex's whistle, stretched by algorithms to two long sides of glitch, spectral drift and granular grain: the first solo LP by Berlin cellist and sound artist Tilman Kanitz.
Four compositions by the Stockholm artist built from modular synthesizers, microphones and self-regulating systems: feedback held at a fragile threshold between order and instability.
Acclaimed Hungarian, Berlin-based producer, composer and pianist Àbáse (AKA Szabolcs Bognár) returns, sharing a special, 5 anniversary remaster of his breakthrough project 'Laroyê'. Releasing via Bridge The Gap & Oshu Records, this sensitive exploration of Afro-Brazilian culture originally began as an audio diary, documenting Szabolcs’ travels and collaborations in Brazil through a collection of voice memos, fragmented beats, sketches and field recordings. As his journey progressed, and his coll…
*100 copies limited edition* It was the spot—where you'd meet up with friends or bump into strangers. Walls covered with deteriorated posters and endless spray-paint conversations. A friendly face in a city suffering from an obsessive-compulsive cleaning disorder. I would stare at those walls, wondering what was behind them, yet there were no doors, no windows, no way to get in. Now it's all open: a stretch of yellow gravel, a wasteland that still feels strangely alive despite being practically …

The state51 Conspiracy is proud to present the reissue of The Human Beast’s legendary (and sole) album ‘Volume One’ - a visceral slice of the late 60s Edinburgh underground. Remastered by Grammy-recognised mastering engineer Sarah Register, this definitive edition gives both collectors and casual buyers the chance to own one of Scotland’s cult hidden psych hard rock gems, complete with updated sleeve notes, never before seen photos/ephemera and an art card signed by the band.

When you’re a three-piece, every move must mean. There’s no place to escape, and no one to hide behind. This might be why Unmarry Me’s slim body of recordings so far – one seven inch, one shared single with Lung Leg and Lora Logic, and now this, a five-track EP, Lions in Autumn – reads so clearly; there isn’t a step out of place. It’s a DIY effort, certainly, anti-rockist in intent, a home-made sound-system jerry-rigged into being by three uncontrollable spirits.
Unmarry Me is the unholy trinity…
Although humans possess language as a means of communication, we sometimes hurt each other simply by intending to. In war, bullets kill people. If we consider words to be like bullets, they can be violent and cause mental suffering. However, when communication causes problems, the only way to solve them is through more communication. I thought: wouldn't it be wonderful if those bullets could turn into flowers instead? In everyday life, when we talk, laugh and share moments with friends and famil…
“Variable,” an album by Hybrid Leisureland-the project of Hidetoshi Koizumi, who has been active as an electronica and ambient composer and arranger since his debut in Paris, France, in 2010-is now available on CD.
The title “Number Face'' comes from my wish for a peaceful world where individual values and ways of thinking are respected. No one in the world is the same or has the same face. Just like our environments, what we like, what we don't like, what we're good at, and what we value are different. I would be happy if you could realize that no two people are the same, that means you are unique, and that each of you is important.
In this album, "Number Face," the music expresses a sympathy with the var…
This 12-track album is the artist's first album released after changing from his stage name to his real name, Hidetoshi Koizumi. The songs were composed with the hope that they would be an opportunity for listeners to receive "signals" they need. Signals are everywhere. When aware of them, they touch the listener and evoke emotions and thoughts relating to various things around them that have influenced them. In life, we all are influenced by things such as the environment, nature, and other peo…
The present recording celebrates the staggering variety of the American string quartet in the 21st century. All but one of the five works was given its first performance by the Momenta Quartet, a group which since its founding nearly 22 years ago has proven itself equally comfortable with modernist complexity, neoromanticism, postminimalism, microtonality, and music with indeterminate and/or improvisatory elements. Echoes of all these aesthetics surface here, but each composer has carved out an …
