Two masters of free improvisation—Evan Parker and Jean-Marc Foussat—meet live in Insolence. Soprano sax and electronics intertwine in deep, lyrical tension. A vital transgenerational document.
A delirious plunge into absurdist tape collages and haunted electronics, this long-buried artifact resurfaces with eerie timeliness—a disorienting mix of degraded loops, dark humor, and fractured noise. A grotesque masterpiece of West Coast sonic dadaism.
Unearthed mid-’90s tape/noise experimentations by Stuart Dennison (Ramleh, Skullflower). Recorded in solitude with loops, delay, and whispers, Autonomous Rex is a raw dispatch from the uncompromising fringes of UK underground sound.
Zulu Guitar's Pioneering Tricksters, but for this compilation of rescued songs masterfully restored from rare 78 rpm shellacs, few could imagine the diversely beautiful roots of Zulu Guitar Music emerging during the period 1950 – 1965. Story-tellers and master musicians appropriate outlaw personae, re-purpose country and western, Hawaiian and other styles, to stretch and challenge our notion of “the Zulu guitar”. Twenty-five songs (18 on vinyl) plunge us into the depths of the migrant experience…
On October 2 1958, after over 60 years of colonial rule, Guineans voted overwhelmingly for their independence, and Guinea was declared a Republic with Sékou Touré as President. Guinea was the first of West Africa’s Francophone colonies to gain independence. To free Guinea from its colonial legacy, president Touré sought to restore dignity to his nation and give cause for Guineans to take pride in their culture, history and newfound freedom. To achieve this, he instructed his government to implem…
To launch the new Lunar Module imprint from Castles In Space, Gordon Chapman-Fox presents us with an album of cinematic ambient music, stepping away from his usual analogue synthesizer tones. “I wanted to stretch my legs and create something more long form, organic and immersive than my Warrington-Runcorn persona” says Gordon. “I hope the title speaks for itself. This is ambient music, but its not background music. This is very much for the foreground. To be played loudly and to lose yourself in…
Lunar Module are thrilled to announce the release of a new Hawksmoor album from Bristolian musician James McKeown, 'An Aesthetic' – Experiments In Tape. 'An Aesthetic' is a testament to McKeown's dedication to exploring the boundaries of sound. By layering the wow, flutter and warble of tape artifacts, he crafts a sonic landscape that echoes the ethereal hiss and mist drenched ‘rural psychedelia’ of Bristol's own Flying Saucer Attack, as well as the early hauntological, experimental landscapes o…
An ace technician who studied at the New England Conservatory, Erez Dessel is in no way conservative. Indeed, his bracing approach to the keyboard and deeply intuitive sense of form can be explosive, uncorked energy summoning references to Cecil Taylor and the Don Pullen/Milford Graves duets, and an almost Russian Romantic darkness – imagine an improvised Mussorgsky – offset by keen emotional intelligence, with joyful melodicism and an airborne quality. And nestled within Dessel's playing there'…
Evis Sammoutis’ music is a dynamic fusion of physicality, virtuosity, and cultural depth. Drawing on his Cypriot roots and diverse training, his compositions explore tactile soundscapes, poetic contrasts, and neurological aesthetics. Works like Echopraxia and In Darkness challenge conventions of imitation and vulnerability, while Rhymes and Engravings evoke intricate structures and materiality. Inspired by literature, visual art, and the expressive potential of sound, Sammoutis crafts music that…

In “Tom’s House”, a new audio-drama from artist and writer Jacob Dwyer, we listen to the meanderings of someone who’s returned home for the first time in 15 years. Walking up Haddon Drive he spots the house of an old friend, Tom. The front door is open, so he goes inside. Wandering around the empty Tudor cottage - making cups of tea, rearranging CD collections and zoning in on the minutiae of domestic space - he ruminates on ideas of emotional intimacy, friendship and grief.
"Hello? Hello?" echo…
"“I was admitted to Son Llàtzer Hospital in Mallorca on October 1, 2024, following a psychotic shock”. This could well have been the opening sentence of a confessional novel but it’s not. It’s the first line of an email, which landed in my mailbox seemingly out of nowhere. The words were written by Baptiste Martin, the composer behind Les Halles. In his letter, sent as a pdf document, Baptiste offered his friends a concise but striking report on his whereabouts from the past months. In brief, Ba…
""A Synonym for Repetition" weaves together a tapestry of parallels, all intricately linked to Japan. The project initiates with a collaboration with a Tokyo-based musician, which ultimately fails to materialise during Jason Kolar’s recent visit to the country. From an original approach that has to mutate in its starting phase, the record was conceived from the beginning to embody a sincere homage to Ryuichi Sakamoto, also a Tokyo native. Shaping ideas within the context of a city with a vibrant…
Tip! *2025 stock* Three-Way Association by Selfish Limbs is a four-track concept album of ambient music, eclectic words, and minimalistic graphic artwork. As another addition to the Adventurous Music Books Series, it starts with the sound that is of spherical crackles and ethereal voices which sometimes seem like coming from Nordic folk music. In addition, choral soundscapes and soft drone-like atmospheres alternate, and dark horizons meet soothing bass. While listening to this, the clear writte…
