Moko
*200 copies limited edition* TON is thrilled to present “Moko”, the eighth album by FourColor, the solo project of Keiichi Sugimoto. With a remarkable discography spanning labels like 12k and Apestaartje, FourColor has established itself as a master of blending processed and raw guitar chords, drones, synthesizers, and samplers into a warm, evocative, and deeply immersive sonic landscape. “Moko” continues this tradition, yet it also marks a new chapter in Sugimoto’s artistic journey.

Volta
*100 copies limited edition* Kurt Liedwart unveils his new label, TON, with the release of “Volta”, the inaugural album in a planned series of five. After a decade immersed in experimental electronic and occasionally improvised music, Liedwart returns to his roots in techno and ambient—genres he has been passionate about since the early 1990s when he first began crafting music in these styles. For “Volta”, he revisits and reimagines sounds from his unreleased techno albums of the late 1990s, ble…
In Darkness Let Me Dwell
"It’s a lovely album, best played at the end of the day; the lights are still out when the day turns into evening, and darkness slowly falls". - Vital Weekly
Postales
*110 copies limited edition* "For this new record I've been inspired by some of the most breathtaking landscapes in Spain. These are 11 tracks where, like musical postcards, I've tried to reflect the beauty of the Irati Forest in Navarra, the Flysh of Zumaia in Gipuzkoa, the Albufera of Valencia, the Gorafe desert in Granada or the Somiedo natural park in Asturias, among other amazing places." - David Cordero
Fact I
*2025 stock* After a long break Wozzeck returns to Intonema with an album called Fact I that opens the next chapter in the group's history. Ilia Belorukov, Mikhail Ershov and Konstantin Samolovov celebrated a decade of the band last year and wrote a piece with the materials collected over several years, transformed them and placed them into a new context.
This resulted in a 37-minute composition of math rock, noise, musique concrete and field recordings with a wide dynamic range and sounds throu…
Binus
In a collaboration lasting several days in Novi Sad, Belorukov & Zlanabitnig explored the acoustic and electronic sound combinations of their instruments as well as ambiental sounds and field recordings in the immediate surroundings of the city. This was not just a direct musical collaboration. Ilia and Sara integrated their sounds into the spaces in which they were played in, be it the studio_kuda.org, the museum acoustics or the Peace Chapel. The musicians developed different approaches throug…
Ganglions
Tip! *2025 stock* "On Ganglions, Badrutt sculpts sinusoidal sounds, internal and external feedback as well as voice inputs and other sources into two pieces of otherworldly music. The release takes the listener into the realm of an arthropod central nervous system and its nerve cells processing tactile and visual information (Supraesophageal). The B-Side – Suboesophageal – showcases a more primitive, destructive approach that could well be aligned with a nerve cluster that processes environmenta…
Nyctalopia
The trio Gaudenz Badrutt (electronics), Jean-Luc Guionnet (alto saxophone) and Frantz Loriot (viola) met for the first time at the Biel/Bienne-based “Joyful Noise” encounters in December 2018. Very quickly, the three agreed on a formal and sonic understanding, giving the trio a distinctive sound, combining and interweaving different sonic aesthetics, from electroacoustic to acoustic improvised music.
In February 2020, the trio continued its musical journey for a residency at Instants Chavirés i…
Sauerkraut
*2025 stock* In 2013, the collaboration of electronic musician Gaudenz Badrutt and saxophonist Ilia Belorukov began in a trio with accordionist Jonas Kocher, and in 2014 the album Rotonda was released on Intonema. Since then, time has passed, Badrutt and Belorukov have toured also as a duo, Belorukov later switching to a modular synthesizer.
In March 2019 in Biel/Bienne, the duo fruitfully worked in a new context, looking for fresh ways to interact, not only with each other, but also between ele…
Štiri Dela
*2025 stock* "The CD surprised me because it could be listened to with many ears. At first I felt I could not separate it from contemporary composed music, soon after that I could still place it in the context of contemporary improvised music, and finally the fantasticness of a journey that takes the best both worlds have to offer revealed itself to me. Much of the merit can be attributed to the sensible arrangement of the four movements, which, despite being at least superficially similar proce…
Orchadia
Ambient explorers SWIMS unpeel another heady debut, with the maiden effort by Korean artist Soo Kyung Kim, also known as soo:k. The curtain raises on Orchadia with an elysian glow: electro-acoustic compositions painting a golden topography of impossible fruit and uncanny astronomy. soo:k's utopic brushwork finds obvious comparisons in the work of Hiroshi Yoshimura, and his meditations on the glacial pace of hidden, verdant spaces. Frida Kahlo's portraits of everyday life, intertwined with pain a…
Sediment
Sediment is an assemblage of field recordings made in the Swiss canton of Jura on a single day in August 2022. Jura's rock and limestone formations create a complex topology which hosts a diversity of sound spaces; human, more-than-human, geophonic, subterranean and extra-terrestrial. By walking and driving through this landscape curious pockets of activity are revealed to the listener. The layers of strata that make up Jura; earth, rock, forest, cables, pipes, factories, planes and radio towers…
Amoskeag
2025 Repress Every song on this album taps into raw, rich veins of sound that are simultaneously dense but easy to enjoy; vintage and modern; new yet timeless. The album kicks off with a monster track entitled "Stratton-Eustis" - one of those complex yet flowing tunes that makes you think overdubs were involved or the player has grown an extra set of limbs. Then there's "Kenduskeag,” a raga-esque group recording in an abandoned New England Conservatory building with Ethan WL and the long standin…
What About The Butterfly
There is something intensely alluring, almost addictive, about Kansas City-based artist Jackie Myers. Known for her innovation and fluidity on the keys and her sultry, bluesy vocals that could spark warmth in even the iciest of souls, she has a way of leaving all your flabbers ghasted and with a voracious appetite for more. Now, 577 Records is ecstatic to present her latest work of art, What About the Butterfly, a technical masterpiece born from the depths of this vocalist/pianist/composer’s bea…
June 26, June 27
*30 copies limited edition* This double disc project originated with Evan’s recordings, which comprise the first disc. Evan’s original recordings June 26, and June 27 were made at home in one take, an improvisation with feedback, instruments, and interior environment. The following disc “Ponder with Strong Hands” and “Silo No Jazz” include Evan’s original recordings re-amplified by John Collins McCormick.
"In service to the microphone in the room and the simultaneous ability to forget about the …
Deep Talk In A Shallow Creek
This recording was made June 3, 2023 near Kingston New York while standing in the Stony Kill. In part one, John and Evan improvise with and against each other and nature. The raging water is a dynamic barrier at once the audible center and distracting noise. Part two showcases audio’s ability to fool the senses, by slowing the playback speed we can challenge the figure/ground relationship.
"If there is a need for constant sound I like a creek. They are reliable, if rain-dependent. Of making soun…
Shadows And Windy Places
*300 copies limited edition* Flying between virtuosic formalism and freewheeling openness, Andrew Bernstein’s new album Shadows and Windy Places is a gripping picture of the Germany-based saxophonist right now. Capturing recordings across the last five years and disparate sources — some are previous album sessions, others peak into Bernstein’s daily practice — they all fall perfectly into place to form an album as rich as a self-portrait and as spontaneous as a snapshot. “I often feel the pull t…
7 Runs (In Arc Mental Styling)
*200 copies limited edition* "On the new album 7 Runs (In Arc Mental Styling), Max Eilbacher juggles a series of electronic tones, carefully sculpted and spaced to form what the Berlin-based composer describes as “a structural mirage made from constant movement.” Following a conceptual compositional algorithm, Eilbacher’s effervescent, repetitive digitally constructed electronic tones seem to endlessly rise across two side-long climbs that bend and twist like a barber pole. It’s a quality extenu…
Chamber Works for Strings
Felipe Lara’s Chamber Works for Strings redefines the ensemble as a resonating body, where strings become vocal cords and bows breathe sound into existence. In Corde Vocale and Tran(slate), the quartet is not a polite conversation but a raw, elemental force – organic, urgent, and monstrous. Sonare unfolds in processional waves, while Archi elastici stretches time to its breaking point, embodying breath itself. With Postcard and Prisma, Lara explores dialogue and divergence. Across these works, t…
