X (Book + CD)
Edition of 100 copies In 2012 Frans de Waard started yet another new music project, Modelbau. It took another two years before he really started, but he has since then released a long string of releases, many of which are on very limited cassettes. Over the intervening ten years, he played various European concerts and collaborated with musicians such as Orphax, MvK, and Scanner. Meeuw designed the original logo, which graced almost all of the releases, giving it a distinct look. Meeuw also crea…

Quelques Instants D'éternité
*200 coipes limited edition. In process of stocking* After a trilogy under the seal of a pessimistic vision of our present time and of Humanity (Élégie du temps présent - Granny records, Sombres Mirroirs - Cronica and Insondables Humeurs - Granny records), Quelques instants d'éternité is the first part of a new trilogy, always imbued with a certain mysticism and a deep melancholy, but, this time, more luminous, carrying a hope still possible. Once again, the omnipresence of the organ nevertheles…
You Can Can
You Can Can is an echoed affirmation, an album which traces song forms around silence, field recordings, and degraded analog memories. This is folk music transmogrified and mutated, as if recorded and reconstructed in Pierre Schaffer’s GRM studio.

Frans de Waard is the founder of the legendary noise group Kapotte Muziek, the owner of the Korm Plastics label, involved in the management of Staalplaat, a critic for Vital Weekly, the world's first internet music magazine, and an artist from the Netherlands who has played and released under the name of many units.

Musik Ohne Ende
"In the 1970s, serious music lovers had a reel-to-reel tape deck. My father certainly loved music and had one to tape classical music off the radio. I recorded my first musical experiments with this machine, fascinated as I was by slowing down the speed so my pieces last longer. Later on, I had some more experience, and my father turned to playing CDs, so the reel-to-reel machine has used a lot less, and I was allowed to drag it upstairs, and I borrowed one from the likewise serious Phillips emp…

An afternoon of Poetry & Music
** Limited edition of 60 ** Tape recording of a London gig from last summer featuring US poet and lyricist Larry Beckett and his British singer-guitarist collaborator Stuart Anthony. Beckett, today an Oregon-based wordsmith who initially made his name when he worked with late LA legend Tim Buckley, has focused in more recent decades on his poetry, a project that reached an apogee with his extraordinary epic American Cycle, published in 2021 and the subject of ringing acclaim within the wider ve…
Ephemeralds
Ephemeralds is the first recording by Finn Loxbo’s new ensemble Kommun and marks a distinct development in the guitarist’s compositional practice. Performing together with pianist Lisa Ullén, kontrabassist Vilhelm Bromander and percussionist Ryan Packard, Loxbo has set up a situation of intense focus, dissolving individual identities into a collective sound world of resolute clarity. Each musician manipulates a collection of tightly stipulated pitch material whilst bringing the shared timbral qu…

Music From The Temple Of Light
Peter Culshaw was described by Malcolm Mclaren as “the Indiana Jones of World Music” and has tracked down music from the Amazon to Siberia and lived with Pygmies in Central Africa and dervishes in Istanbul. Culshaw interviewed many of the greats including Fela Kuti, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Caetano Veloso and Ibrahim Ferrer.

...E Poi, Non Ne Rimase Nessuno (Original Soundtrack)
*300 copies limited edition* This CD would not have been possible if Edipan hadn’t conserved two mono masters in good conditions in its archives (stereo mixes have gone lost). Unfortunately it was not possible to cancel some magnetic flaws. We brought to life an OST that contains all the popular and well respected music elements of Maestro Nicolai: dissonant strings segments, experimental effects of an evocative classical main theme, ambiguous and mysterious, accompanied by pop rhythms.
Camorra
*300 copies limited edition* Manuel De Sica wrote an orchestral comment based on a recurring symphonic tarantella, which is the main theme retaken in symphonic version or with a solo guitar, alternated with lounge tracks like “Rough”, sung by M° De Sica himself, who was 23 years old back then, with the fabulous “Bossa Nova Boss”, with the extravagant “Casa da gioco” and with the “Anna e Tonino” love theme. RCA printed a promo LP (SP 8046), put together by M° De Sica, 30:30 minutes long. In 1994 …
Sept Jeunes Et Fiers Maris
*Rare original* "ARFI is an improvised music group from the south of France that continues to evolve, involving not only musicians but also cooks and street performers in its search for more freedom of expression. One of the core bands of the ARFI, with all the main improvising musicians, was the Marvelous Band, released on their own label in 1985. Carnivals on street corners, street performers, the hints of foreign lands wafting from the back alleys - the original landscape that lies at the hea…
Postcards From Hereafter
Razen's Postcards From Hereafter was recorded using a 17th century organ tuned at 398 Hz (meantone) in a Belgian cathedral erected in 1305. The ensemble explored, with rich results, the organ's strict and limiting tuning with an arrangement that included hurdy gurdy, recorders, chalumeau, violone and nyckelharpa. The pieces on Postcards From Hereafter explore the crossover between this world and the next with improvised spiritual, religious music. Brussels-based ensemble Razen use the unique tim…
Nile Night: Remembered Texts from the Deep
Nile Night is a lovely new book of poems that also includes a cd of readings by Ione and music by Pauline Oliveros. 'Nile Night: Remembered Texts from the Deep' will move your mind with sounds, sensations and feelings; arousing your dreams and taking you far into that fabled land of Egypt. How fortunate for me that I shared one of these journeys with Ione and can find my own memories amplified as I dive into the depths of these writings. What an enrichment to have these poetic texts and to keep …
Troca Iônica
*100 copies limited edition. In process of stocking* Tsss Tapes presents Troca Iônica by Abby Lee Tee and Philip Sulidae. These two musicians are quite active in the sound art/abstract music circuit, and this is the result of a long-distance collaboration between Austria and Australia, two long pieces of electronic sounds mixed with field recordings, all very calm and dotted here and there with microscopic details.

Featuring Evan Parker, a singular musician whose approach to music and the saxophone has influenced several generations of improvisers, in trio with trumpet great Nate Wooley and clarinetist Jeremiah Cymerman, "World of Objects" is both a concert document and an intricate journey through the digital post-production of Jeremiah Cymerman. Over the course of thre…
