K.A
K.A (Köhntarkösz Anteria) is the ninth studio album by French rock band Magma. The album was Magma's first full-length studio release in just under 20 years. The material was largely composed by drummer Christian Vander in 1973–74, and fragments of it can be heard on Magma's 1977 live album Inédits. K.A is sung almost entirely in Magma's constructed language Kobaïan. This album is part of the Köhntarkösz cycle of albums. Christian Vander revisited an old unrecorded composition and gave it a very…
Even The Horizon Knows Its Bounds
From Lawrence English: "I like to think that sound haunts architecture. It's one of the truly magical interactions afforded by sound's immateriality. It's also something that has captivated us from the earliest times. It's not difficult to imagine the exhilaration of our early ancestors calling to one another in the dark cathedral like caves which held wonder, and security, for them. Today the ways in which sound occupies space, the so-called liquid architecture, holds just as much wonder, albei…
Journey to the Cave of Guanyin
The inspiration for these pieces comes from the Chinese folklore of Guanyin, a deity whose name translates to ‘the one who perceives all the sounds, or cries, of the world’. Also known as Guanshiyin 觀世音, she is the embodiment of infinite compassion. I grew up knowing of Guanyin as a female deity, but recently discovered that she had transformed through the centuries from the male Hindu bodhisattva, Avalokiteśvara. I instantly found an affinity for this gender-fluid figure, who was said to have a…
I Know the Number of the Sand and the Measure of the Sea
I Know the Number of the Sand and the Measure of the Sea is the first collaboration of Lea Bertucci and Olivia Block. This collaboration was set into slow motion some years ago, in 2017, when Lea and Olivia connected through an interview facilitated by writer Steve Smith. In 2022, the artists finally had a chance to collaborate, performing an improvised set at Pioneer Works in New York City. Since then, the New York based Bertucci and Chicago based Block remotely built out ideas stemming from th…
View
"View was first presented as part of a solo exhibition at the jennjoy gallery in San Francisco, the show also included paintings, drawings, and a silent video work. For the installation, I asked Jenn to record for me the sounds of the View from one of the gallery windows. "sounds were recorded from ledge just above radiator on various days and times in april" sometimes the window was open, sometimes closed. I used fragments of these recordings as both a compositional cue as well as the entire so…

Look Under This
*100 copies limited edition* Bernd Boehm’s life and work still remains a mystery to most. Having engaged in several disciplines like painting, film and sculpture, towards the end of 1980’s Bernd produced a series of experimental film soundtracks along with a modest amount of new wave tracks which we now present under this edition. Having initially self-released some of these soundtracks, to be latter on published by Matthias Lang on Irre Tapes, “Look under this” reunites now all of his film soun…
Uncanny Valley
*250 copies limited edition* “Uncanny Valley” is a dynamic album based on the so called uncanny valley concept of Robotics professor Masahiro Mori. Instead of searching for the meaning of the concept and the relation to the music, you can also just let go and let the music overfloat you. It´s a mesmerizing mix of drones, melodies, noises and beats, that grabs for attention.
Tactile Interactions
*150 copies limited edition* Tactile Interactions brings together textile artist Bec Kirby and sound artists Joda Foerster & Niklas Kramer for an exploration in tangibility and modularity across object and sound. The three artists were driven by a mutual intrigue as to how physicality transcends form, while form could be subtracted, manipulated, and synthesized into new manners all together. Bec crafted hand-tufted wall hangings in a variety of abstract shapes that can be hung in an endless arra…
Clay Bodies
*2025 stock* Clay Bodies is a multidimensional project stretching artistic language, form and workflow across digital and continental spheres. Baal & Mortimer, Cate Kennan, Cucina Povera, and Morita Vargas engaged in an intimate, collaborative process with Camila Apaez of Ila Ceramica. This resulted in four ceramic sculptures being conceptually soundtracked by five musical contributions recorded onto cassette.
As vases howling, the meditative compositions drift between the ghostly and gentle, wi…
Courage Left In A Tree
How do our surroundings look from a different vantage point, and what encounters feel different when moving through the world on two wheels?
Wandelaar
Haron’s Wandelaar is an album which successfully turns listening into an act of transport, leaving you in the midst of falling asleep, at a junction of dislocation, hazily arriving in a liminal world. Wandelaar is Haron’s reaction against the confines of dance music, gathering energy from his estrangement from its limitations and expectations, and using it as a means to reorder and interrogate sound. This release gestures a shift in Haron’s career, moving away from the dancefloor applicable outp…
G, A & D
*300 copies limited edition* Seeking collaboration in contrast, G, A & D is an artefact in time of two friends and artists challenging themselves to shed their primary artistic methods and embrace one another’s diverging approaches to sound. When asked to participate in a week-long residency in Ghent, Dutch artists Louis Reith and Eelco Topper, also known as Felbm, found themselves drawn to one another’s disparate styles as a means of stepping outside of their normal musical boundaries. Louis ha…
Sounds On Grief
"Sounds On Grief is a multidisciplinary project that offers a fresh lens on the processes and reflections of grief. The idea for the project came out of being thrown into my own depths of grief with the unexpected passing of my mom in September 2023. I felt a seismic shift demarcating life before and after her passing, searching for words, music, and art that felt relatable and made me feel a little less alone in grappling with this new life. I was curious to hear how others processed grief, and…

High Tide
*2025 repress* Able Noise are a cross-continent duo based between The Hague (NL) and Athens (GR), built around the experimental baritone guitar and drum playing of George Knegtel and Alex Andropoulos. After a few formative attempts at collaboration, they officially came together as the Able Noise we see now in 2017, uniting over shared thoughts on art and performance encountered while studying at The Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague. Their first recorded work, a seamless 30 minutes of glisteni…

Voices In The First Person Volume 2
Throughout his life as an artist of increasing renown, William Parker has always made it a point to shine light on those who do not as often receive recognition for their work, and from whose work Parker has found resonance with & received inspiration from. There have always been song dedications and odes to their inspiration on his albums. And, on a larger scale, there are now four extant volumes of his indispensable 'Conversations' books which, through relaxed & in-depth interviews, allow the …
