Ansatz
2025 stock Following the aphex-blessed En-To-Pan and the recent ep Hegenrax [OOH-014] Holy Similaun goes further in its intimate and personal musical discourse with Ansatz [attempt / approach] to investigate uncertainty and the mutation of our "safe spaces”.
Extremely dilated fades, intermitted structures, massively warped voices, blasting industrial distortions and gaming sound effects populate the synthetic environments of a not-necessarily dystopian post-something, multifaceted and porous.The…
Dream Catalogue Vol.1
Glasgow-based Effective Dreaming—the solo project of Scottish artist and musician Iain Ross—unveils Dream Catalogue Vol. 1, arriving June 21st, 2025 (Summer Solstice) via Swedish experimental label Fluere Tapes.
Issued as a limited run of 50 cassettes, each adorned with hand-worked, corroded copper sheet inserts and labels, Dream Catalogue Vol. 1 feels less like a release and more like an unearthed artefact: weathered, humming, quietly alive. The materials echo the music’s exploration of fragile…
Memoria
This collaboration between Colombian Drone Mafia and Gibrana Cervantes is the beginning and end of a fragile geography, like the magic and mafia of our platanal, a bridge between the Americas. CDM is the new alias of Nyksan, Bogota-born DJ, sound artist and co-founder of TraTraTrax. Here, he joins forces with Mexican composer and violinist Gibrana Cervantes, one of the most outstanding string voices sounding across the most vital electronic and avant-garde music scenes of recent years. Together,…
Aboyer au mauvais arbre
ARBORE is the collaborative project of French-born, Berlin-based artists Diane Barbé and Laure Boer, navigating the wide spectrum of electroacoustics, instrument building and radical improvisation. "Genuinely loose-limbed and exquisitely zonked, Diane Barbé and Laure Boer's ARBORE debut marries electroacoustic sound design to basement psych-folk, where homemade Vietnamese zither, flutes and whistles float around gloopy analog synths like some lost Nate Young plays Folkways record, or the deepest…
Soil Leaf Root
"As a concoction of whirring, electronics-strewn field recordings, this over fifty minute piece is intoxicating in its intimacy, like drifting half asleep through various conversations, rituals, prayers. As a piece which considers the “complex entanglements of migrant stories, memory, identity, otherness”, it feels urgently, cacophonously important, a sonic insight into our shared humanity" — Spenser Tomson In this project, Paul and Masimba capture almost five years of conversation as they stood…
Playing The Beetles
Gryphon Rue returns to Soap Library with Playing the Beetles, a sonic adaptation of a performance of the same name with Ka Baird and Qasim Naqvi at Roulette Intermedium in November 2023.
Through a color-mapping system that matches non-toxic paint on the beetle shells to clothing worn by the performers, the highly experimental piece musically interprets the behavior of live beetles (the bugs, not the band.) Under the watchful eye of a live camera feed connected to software, beetles explore their…
An Introduction To Shirley Collins
Few singers of the English folk revival have attempted as much on record as Shirley Collins – an extraordinary combination of fragility and power. “I like music to be fairly straightforward, simply embellished – the performance without histrionics allowing you to think about the song rather than telling you what to think.”
Through an impressive series of experimental recordings Shirley established an extraordinarily sympathetic marriage of traditional songs handed down through generations of rur…

On "Dissolving Strawberry" (2020)
“On ‘Dissolving Strawberry’ (2020)” is a collection of interpretive sound compositions thematically centered around the titular painting by Swedish artist Christine Ödlund.

Transfer of knowledge and exchange of meaning between plant and animal world is a consta…

Exclusive First-Time Vinyl Release: Rare Italian Film Score Vibes by Piero Piccioni
Inner Day
For his second solo album, master drummer Jim White travels further into expressionist landscapes of private meditation; his vehicle, an evocative duet of keyboards and drums alongside his debut as a vocalist. Translating his formidable percussive intuitions through this dialogue has given Jim a fresh compositional voice. Inner Day is like a state of nature, evoking peace and tension, rest and disquiet, all aloft on the wind of new discovery.
In March 2024, Jim White released his first-ever solo…
Sen’nyū (Book)
**Photo Book: 210×150 mm, 108 pages, hardcover with exposed spine binding, gold-foil letterpress, full colour on premium matt paper** In the final month of 2024, Meitei arrived in Beppu, a city long steeped in vapor, myth, and mineral memory. Invited to create onsen (hot spring) ambient music commemorating Beppu’s 100th anniversary, he immersed himself in the city’s geothermal psychogeography, where sound rises from the ground and time clings to mist. Known for his Lost Japan (Shitsu-nihon) work…
Kofu
2024 repress! Limited edition LP including 16-page inserts with words in Japanese and English from Meitei and design by Kitchen. Label founder Ricks Ang * It began with ‘Kwaidan’, a simmering study on the lost art of Japanese ghost story-telling. Then there was ‘Komachi’, baptized in the earthly winds and static that define its comforting sonics. On ‘Kofū’, Meitei masterfully closes his trilogy of lost Japanese moods with an engaging interrogation of artforms and aesthetics as a provocation — o…
mirror in the gleam
*2025 stock* "nature dreams, sings, of the moments of absolute clarity – alignments in the universe coinciding with the individual experience of living creatures. the subconscious web between all things, briefly brought to the fore. made luminous in a flash of benevolent light."

A Path To Open Air II
*2025 stock* Introducing 'A Path to Open Air II,' Tobias Wilden reimagines the tonal textures first shaped in his 2013 release, 'A Path to Open Air'. Diving further into his perceptions of nature and music, the album blends acoustic intimacy with ambient depth, painting serene scenes of remote landscapes. Wilden combines guitar, cello, double bass, and Sanshin with orchestral layers and fleeting electronic glimmers. It’s an ode to the in-between, where jazz meets not-jazz — a musical terrain tha…
Altar of Dreams
Aspidistrafly, the Singaporean duo comprising April Lee and producer Ricks Ang, return with Altar of Dreams, their first studio album in a decade.
Le Cube Dans Mon Rêve
From the soft, digital murmur of notation software and the absence of physical instruments, The FURICO Music Team (FMT) emerges not as a band, but as a motion. A pendulum. A thought experiment materialized in waveform.
Founded in Japan and composed of TM and TI, FMT is a conceptual unit for sonic construction and transformation. They describe their works as "Auditory Art," where sound is both medium and inquiry. Every note is born in a digital void, composed entirely through notation software a…
Commune
*2025 stock* “In endless patience, the days abide. They write themselves: blue flourish and tender instinct. They are haunts and reveries and all manner of dwelling. They are seconds; they are years. They are forevermore.” 'Commune' is the debut full-length album by Singapore born, producer, composer, electronic artist and pianist, Kin Leonn. Affectionately known by peers as the 'ambient boy from Singapore,' Kin Leonnʼs arresting dream-music in 'Commune' is sourced from a well of preconscious ph…
