what came before me is going after me
No Hay Banda teams up with composer Zihua Tan to release his debut album of two stunning works composed for the group's musicians: the percussion solo 'remnants present', and the quintet 'what came before me is going after me' featuring violin, cello, voice, percussion and ondes Martenot.
'What came before me is going after me', lantern consciousness heightened, delicate hums were all that I could discern. They were loud, the hums, more deafening than inner dialogues trapped in a jar. For a mom…
Il Teatro Rosso
*Comes in a digipack with a stunning poster booklet and sticker, all beautifully designed by Juliette Moal.* "A stunning and singular collaboration between the fearless Montréal ensemble and the innovative American composer Steven Kazuo Takasugi. Dizzying chamber music writing intertwines with trompe l'oreille electronic hyperrealism produce a set of feverish music that embraces both playfulness and unsettling surrealism." - Nick Storring
Hopeful Monster
*2025 stock* "In experimental music, artists are often praised for taking risks, yet it's seldom that the conditions that inspire and enable their plunges into yet-unknown realms are discussed. The powerful music found on Hopeful Monster, the partnership between acclaimed Toronto-based pianist Eve Egoyan and Costa Rican-born, British composer-musician Mauricio Pauly (who now lives and works in Vancouver), is a testament to the vitality of these very conditions. Their collaboration began in 2018 …
The Garden Of A Former House Turned Museum
*2025 stock* In „The Garden of a Former House Turned Museum”, Chloë Lum and Yannick Desranleau feature a sung correspondence between an anonymous contemporary interlocutor and the Brazilian author Clarice Lispector (1920–77), an important 20th-century literary figure. Epistolary “Dear Clarice” prose poems guide us through Rio de Janeiro, here covered with lush nature as if human activity had simply ceased. Played by four different performers (all sung by Sarah Albu), the protagonist addresses Li…
I Had A Dream About This Place
*2025 stock* I had a dream about this place, No Hay Banda's debut album, brings together four long-form works for chamber ensemble and electronics by four of Canada's most fascinating composers. No Hay Banda has developed deep collaborative relationships with all four composers over the years, and is thrilled to feature their work on this special release.
sedimentary flesh diary
The object of listening emerges from within the fragmentation. Wilful and artificial abstractions are merging with the world in which we perceive, from the outside, with regard to what those sensible materialities seek to listen within us. From a global perspective, this composition is the semantic complexity of a voyage. Micro-level of emotional transactions between the perceived and the perceptive; commentary of sonificated sieves of embedded experiences. To formulate geometrical parameters of…
Nanawatai
*111 copies limited edition. Noble A5 sized Digipak, 350g Cardboard* Hor-cheret refers to the name of Horus as a child of Isis and Osiris in Egypt mythology. This is not meant to be seen as a an imperfect and childish god, but as the one who is placed over the speech of men concerning the gods. His imperfection is a reminder to overcome the own inabilities. As Plutarch says, the finger at his mouth is a symbol of silence and secrecy.
Hor-cheret is a ritual and martial music project by members of…
split
Two artists from differing schools, fighting against one another for total mind erasure. Submit to the apocalyptic bleakness of Death Potion, and then crumble beneath the weight of Asmodexia.
Seized For Serenade
*50 copies limited edition* Edge Of Decay is full force harsh noise with manipulated vocals, straight out of Finland. Been a fan of their material over the years, and am pleased to offer this release on Bent Window! A c40 of pure illness and disease!
Split
Delirant Fracture is a new harsh noise project from Anju Singh (The Nausea, Ceremonial Bloodbath, and more). Molena strikes the label again with pure harsh noise delight. Vancouver yet again proving itself beyond worthy in the field of noise.
Enclosure
Many will know the name Alan Bloor from such projects as Knurl or Pholde, but this go around known as Level Of Existence brings his energy to a violin. Those familiar with his work will hear what Bloor brings out: unrelenting sound emanating from the unexpected. Prepare to embark on a harrowing journey of spatial sounds.
s/t
If you missed the last Boredom Knife release on Bent Window, fear not. The project returns with Temple Of Filth as company. Pure delirious harsh noise from both artists. Hits like a ton of bricks on either side. Highly volatile.
Mechanisms Of Catharsis
Alberta’s Morrigan strikes against the norm with this live recording that brings to mind classic projects like Skullflower, early Earth & 5ive (Boston, MA). Morrigan, known for their harsh noise sets presents an engaging display of experimentation. Teaming up with them is Overzealous who contributes drums to this recording.
Shaman
Ruins Of Xibalba (Sydney, AUS) bring avant-garde ritual dark ambient from down under. Deep within the past, the roots of "Shaman" branch into our world. Bent Window is proud to present this elegant and mystifying release in cassette format...
“Shaman is an album that challenges the lives of those who have lost touch with their roots, their existence marred by false beliefs and misconceptions. Shamanism is a gift to humanity, the sole path to truly understanding nature, accessing profound emotion…
Fantasma
Fantasma was conceived by Mount Fog for the sound installation CHIARA • dispositivo di ascolto a distanza, a site-specific art project curated by Standards, held in September 2021 around the ancient Chiaravalle Abbey in Milan. The idea behind the intervention was to use the iconic lantern tower of the abbey as a “listening device”, through a specially developed sound diffusion system. As an environmental work, the installation could be freely experienced in the surroundings of the monastery, fad…
Alle Sorgenti Delle Civiltà - Vol. 3 - Africa - Australia - Nuova Zelanda
Black Vinyl. Two giants of Italian library music. Two continents. Fourteen tracks of tribal, ritualistic sound. Musica Per Immagini presents the first-ever vinyl reissue of Alle Sorgenti Delle Civiltà Vol. 3, the final chapter of the legendary Folkmusic triptych originally released in 1971.
Somewhere between the editing suites of Cinecittà and the ethnographic archives of a parallel universe RAI documentary department, two of Italy's most prolific sonic chameleons shed their studio pseudonyms li…
Vol. IV: Casting Lines - A Museum Of Memory
Sixteen(!) years after Vol. III - A Hand Full of Days, B’ee returns with the long-awaited next chapter - Vol. IV: Casting Lines - A Museum of Memory.
Stoned Guitar
Recorded in the spring of 1970, this legendary album shows why many consider The Human Instinct to be the finest psychedelic rock band ever to emerge from New Zealand. Led by drummer-vocalist Maurice Greer and featuring the guitar pyrotechnics of the legendary Billy Te Kahika, Stoned Guitar has long been established as a classic hard psychedelic rock album.
Parallelograms
Combining fragile and beautifully melodic acid folk with perfectly-rendered electronic effects, this remarkable album consists of what its creator describes as ‘visual music’. First released in 1970, it has gone on to become one of the most legendary and well-loved recordings of its time. It’s presented here with the full collaboration of its enigmatic creator.
Raw Material
The 1970 debut by this London-based quintet, originally released on the small Evolution label and now a sought-after grail of British proto-prog. One of the earliest documents of progressive rock in the making - raw, unpolished, absolutely essential.
Raw Material emerged from the late-sixties London underground: Colin Catt on keyboards and vocals, Dave Green on guitar, Phil Gunn on bass, Paul Young on drums, and Mick Fletcher on saxophone, flute and harmonica. The group had its roots in R&B jam …
