He later moved to the South of France where he became a pioneer in field recording and acoustic ecology. In 2023, the art council of Samsø organized an exhibition and event series with a focus on Viktor, whose works were presented at a numbe…
Thousand Leaves
Despite a 40-year age gap and the vast distance between Japan and Greece, pianist Masahiko Sato and guitarist Giotis Damianidis reveal themselves as kindred spirits on Thousand Leaves. Capturing their very first meeting—recorded live on February 2, 2024, at Jazz Spot Candy in Chiba, Japan—this album is a testament to the power of improvised music to dissolve boundaries of geography and generation. The rapport between Sato and Damianidis is so immediate and intuitive that one might imagine a much…
Michael Pisaro-Liu - Tombstones II
After a first album made up of 11 pieces from Tombstones by Michael Pisaro-Liu — works with delicate tones and dusty melodies that wrap us in an intimate atmosphere — the musicians of the Muzzix collective, brought together under the direction of Barbara Dang, present this second recording, which completes the entire collection. This new opus continues the sonic exploration: timbres become more diverse, textures thicken, and silence — in its rawest materiality or its faintest breaths — becomes a…
2022-2023
*200 copies limited edition* K / S / R (the trio of Ben Kujawski, Abigail Smith, and Justin Rhody) play a unique form of delicate free-improvisation that blends deep listening, scree, and post-jazz sensibilities. As if Adris Hoyos & Tony Conrad created lounge music for Coast to Coast AM. Since 2022, the trio have also regularly performed works for expanded cinema in select locales across the US - with a prime example from an Oakland CA performance documented on this double disc set of essential …
Bruised Fruit & Underfed Flora
*2025 stock. 20 copies limited edition* Abstract sampler-based film score by Jeremy Kennedy, “blending electronics and vocals that really remind me what Gong were doing in 1972-73.” - Byron Coley
Blu-ray disc of accompanying film by Justin Rhody included.
Moral Grey
*2025 stock. 50 copies limited edition* Sleepwalker was a one-off quintet assembled August 2023 to perform at the regional premiere of a Pauline Oliveros documentary film. Inspired by Oliveros' teachings, these recordings were made in a former tank garage (a space that was once used to store military tanks). Galassini spread contact mics throughout the resonate flooring of the space in order to amplify movement and other frictions alongside our more traditional instrumentation - creating the bas…
Desert Crawl
*2025 stock. 100 copies limited edition* High Desert free-improv trio, K/S/R (Ben Kujawski, Abigail Smith, and Justin Rhody), provide an ultra-full-length album of studio sessions, private jams, and live expanded cinema recordings. A fittingly intense culmination of time spent, efforts made, emotional response, and intuitive composition. This is a music that's hated by the punks and the conservatory alike - executed in warehouses, microcinemas, and former cookie factories across the United State…
Music for Harry Smith
*2025 stock. 100 copies limited edition* Free-improv quintet recorded live in accompaniment to the early films of Harry Smith at No Name Cinema (an event organized in partnership with the Harry Smith Archives in celebration of Smith's centennial). Also featuring a 14 minute long remix by Cody Yantis (à la Jeph Jerman & Harry Partch daydreaming in the industrial sector).
Ambient Black Magic
*2025 stock* Rainforest Spiritual Enslavement is the ambient techno project of Dominick Fernow. Focusing on slow paced bass studies and synthetic dub textures, surrounded by collaged and looped field recording environments, RSE shrouds sound over image to target the sector of brain where fear supersedes rationality -- the imagination. As RSE appears live for the first time, it has transformed into an entity with rotating contributors on stage and on recording. Ambient Black Magic moves away from…
You Think You Really Know Me
2024 repress! Gary Wilson's monumental 1977 LP reissued with the original cover art (care of Owen Maercks's well-loved copy), delicately laid out by Scott Allison. Which makes it, perhaps, the last copy you'll ever need. You Think You Really Know Me (also the title of Michael Wolk's 2005 documentary about Wilson) was Wilson's second LP, but the first he recorded as a vocalist, hewing to his own bizarre vision -- a syncretic collision of romance, new wave cocktail jazz, heartbreak, disco porn-sou…
Adorable Ruin
2025 stock ‘Adorable Ruin’ is the second release of Stokholm-based composer and electronician Siri Jennefelt under her Nev Lilit moniker, and her first one to be released on vinyl. Each composition of the release starts with a drone that seems to be of a similar design, but brings us into vastly differing worlds. Jennefelt’s blend of large, primal drums and meticulously crafted synthesis, that moves independent of each other, makes a fitting canvas for her extensive arsenal of haunting, dystopi…
No Sound Forever
From the depths of Gothenburg, The Family Men emerge. Since 2017, they have slowly carved out a sound entirely their own within the current music scene, standing out as one of the hardest groups in Sweden today. Making use of unconventional sampling, chainsaw-guitars and gritty industrial tones, they manage to blast their way into yet uncharted musical territory. Their debut album 'No Sound Forever' is an explosive, daring and vital record of a band ready to swallow you whole.
La Cave Live, Cleveland 1966
the first authorized release by permission of the Estate of Albert Ayler of the two concerts played at La Cave, Cleveland on April 16 & 17, 1966. Remastered for best possible sound of these under difficult technical circumstances recorded performances.
Meta Zero
Temporary Super Offer! The music on this CD is an impressive document of such a search for meaning and artistic legitimacy. It doesn’t want to add something even louder to the supposedly spectacular. On the contrary: Here, it is about the subtle intimacy and emotionality of human relationships, about breathing as one. It is about being interested in each other beyond ever new superlatives. This is where the unobtrusive authenticity of this music comes from, what makes it special and thoughtful. …
Leg End
2025 Stock. "Their first, 1973, release by Britain's most enigmatic and unclassifiable band. Formed in 1968 by two Cambridge students, Fred Frith and Tim Hodgkinson, Henry Cow's original influences included the likes of Soft Machine and Frank Zappa. However, in their undying quest to push the boundaries of conventional music, members soon took out their machetes and began hacking a new trail into an unmapped wilderness of sound. The band was thereby also staunchly anti-commercial, never compromi…
Contre-montagne
*170 copies limited edition* "The city where I live was created by digging holes : removing stones from the ground, then making buildings with them. The only hill on the island was quarried. Elsewhere, they just dug giant square pits. Over time, many of these holes became dumps of some kind; the Francon quarry became a snow dump. Half the snow plowed from the streets of Montreal after each storm is loaded onto trucks and dumped in the 70 metres deep hole. Every winter, snow piles up there. Some …
Fish Point
*180 copies limited edition* "Fish Point is part of a 68 acre city park called the Eastern Promenade, located in my neighbourhood in Portland, Maine. Fish Point has sweeping views of Casco Bay and is busy with shipping traffic, barges, commercial fishing, tugboats, ferries coming and going from the islands, sailboats and increasingly yachts, tourists paddling, and cruise ships. Fish Point is off a multi-use trail that runs along the Portland waterfront. The area near Fish Point used to be semi-…
Stasis Sounds For Long-Distance Space Travel III
*200 coipes limited edition* Among the many kind remarks and deeply personal stories that have been shared with zakè and 36 about their beloved series, Stasis Sounds For Long-Distance Space Travel, perhaps the most succinct and poignant is one from a fan, regarding the first installment: “I was terrified of space travel, until I heard this album.” In those few words, the complex themes and contrasts that the artists explore through their comforting hymns of cosmic scale are summed up beautifully…
I'll Wait for You in the Car Park
"I'll Wait For You In The Car Park", the first full length collaboration between Argentinian cellist, improviser and composer Violeta García and Swiss musician and composer Hora Lunga, is a work of extremes. Drawing from the realities of life on two continents, and embodying moods ranging from stoic desire to violent bursts, the album enciphers so-called ordinary moments from everyday life into an alluring collection of musical scenes. Seemingly inconspicuous moments are condensed into a tale of…
First Blues
"Rags, Ballads & Harmonium Songs. Chanteys, Come-All-Ye's, Aborigine Song Sticks. Gospel, Improvisations, Renaissance Lyrics, Blake Hymns, Bluegrass, Hillbilly Riffs, Country & Western, 50's R&B, Dirty Dozens & New Wave"
Allen Ginsberg's recorded opus gets its first ever full vinyl reissue on a gatefold double vinyl LP replete with photography by Robert Frank. Containing studio-recorded performances that he wrote, performed and taped in sessions taking place between 1971 and 1981 - featuring Bob…
