Urpa i musell feel very fortunate to announce the reissue of Àlbum by Joan Saura (1954-2012), originally released on compact disc by Nova Era – Música Secreta in 1998.

Water can retain or wash away memory; flowing or freezing. It gives life and shapes earth, while frozen imprints of an ancient past are waiting to melt – back into sound or fluid motion, or simply to dissipate and disappear. For their split release, Yoichi Kamimura and Olli Aarni offer two distinct reinterpretations of a performance recorded live at the Temppeliaukio Kirkko – a church in Helsinki built directly into solid rock and bathed in natural light – meditating on glacial landscapes and wa…

Over the past few months, five young musicians performing under the name Omasta have taken the Polish and European jazz scenes by storm. Having gained recognition for their intense live shows, they are now ready to deliver their debut studio effort. Jazz Report from the Hood a collectively composed album immersed in the textures of city streets and everyday urban life. The name Omasta comes from a regional Krakow dialect word meaning “fat added to food for flavor.” It’s a fitting metaphor: the g…

Active as a professional DJ in Japan since the late eighties, DJ Yoshizawa Dynamite is also a renowned remixer, compiler and producer. An avid record collector and an expert of Wamono music, Yoshizawa has published in 2015 the now-classic Wamono A to Z records guide book, which instantly sold-out. The book unveiled a myriad of beautiful and rare records from a highly prolific, but still then unknown, Japanese groove scene. He has also selected a large part of the music in our highly acclaimed Wa…

Originally released in 1993, Surfing On Sine Waves is the second album released under the Warp Artificial Intelligence series (the series also includes the two titular compilations, as well as contributions by Autechre, The Black Dog, F.U.S.E. and more). Surfing On Sine Waves is also the sole album released under Richard D. James’ (aka Aphex Twin’s) Polygon Window alias. The name “Polygon Window” originally appeared as a track name under Richard D. James’ other pseudonym The Dice Man, as the tra…

Frode Gjerstad, Alexander von Schlippenbach, and Dag Magnus Narvesen's first trio recording is powerful convergence of avant-garde improvisation and deep jazz sensibilities. Gjerstad’s fearless saxophone work, Schlippenbach’s adventurous piano explorations and Narvesen’s dynamic drumming create spontaneous compositions that betray a deep mutual respect.

“The body’s relation to the social is inseparable from, and of the same relation to the world, not a relation of objectification but a carnal intertwining prior to any reflective judgement.” -Rosalyn Diprose

Conversation No. 1/ Collecting Rocks from the Places We’ve Been is a solo for bass clarinet which can be performed as a duo, trio, or maybe someday with many, many bass clarinets, or in collaboration with other artists.  Katie Porter is interested in creating systems of music that she can exist in together, for herself and others, music that collapses and expands on itself, where we are free to choose the phrases, iterations, and lean into the occurrences of overlapping tones, vibrations, multi-…

"In late 2022 I became a father and lost my own father in quick succession. This music represents a conversation between my selves who met at that nexus of birth and death, sharing what they felt about the past, the present, and the future. The pieces are very intentionally set in different seasons and sonic environments so as to welcome the listener to this metaphysical meeting point for musical ideas and emotions."

"I had the privilege of meeting Wadada Leo Smith after a show, ‘Everyone thinks the trumpet is made out of brass — it’s really made out of air.' This recording is my exploration of that concept."

“Looking back I remember still” is a graffito I saw on an electrical box near my house and as I prepared for this recording I reflected on my time living in New York and my involvement in the improvised music scene there.  My decision to include the standard tune Just Friends is part of looking forward with the hope of highlighting the connections between the practice of free improvisation and the creative tradition of “Great Black Music” sometimes called jazz.

I recorded Open Space with in a single continuous take: my cello, an amp, and a distortion pedal. I was watching a film that was a static shot across a very large canyon, the light slowly shifting. I hope it offers the listener room to breathe and dream.

The music of Exhaust unfolds through real-time exploration, where quick reflexes and deep listening shape each performance. Nebbia’s powerful saxophone voice drives the ensemble with intensity, while Downes reveals a side of his playing that leans into raw immediacy and unrestrained expression. Lisle acts as both a catalyst and anchor, crafting fluid rhythmic structures that support and propel the trio’s intricate interplay. Their album moves through a vast spectrum of sound, shifting between me…

This is free improvised music with two saxophones and two drum sets. The theme of the music is about identity that is linked to the region and culture, especially a specific folksy and indigenous characteristic in the Korean peninsula from long ago. The whole album describes a ceremony and its atmosphere and each track follows each step that is named by an ideogram.

See You When I Get There is Amy Cimini’s first solo viola album. While playing in noise bands and experimental projects for over 25 years, she has developed a sonic palette for the amplified viola that combines overtone-rich distortion with percussive techniques nestled in reverb and delay effects meant to fill large acoustical spaces.  Overall, this record embraces noise abstraction as much as a tuneful directness, that evokes Cimini’s fellow experimental string players, historical protest musi…

Hyperboreal Trio’s debut album unites the distinct voices of Signe Emmeluth, Ingebrigt Håker Flaten, and Axel Filip—three seasoned improvisers bridging the musical extremes of the north and south through raw, yet meticulously crafted pieces.

On their debut release, Foster shifts fluidly between tongue slaps, overblown tones, and powerful tenor saxophone screams, while Crawford alternates between non-idiomatic splatter, frenzied banjo maneuvers, and dense, elusive bursts of tangled noise. Meanwhile, Sullivan crafts a metallic clatter that establishes its own expansive sonic territory.

*22 copies limited edition* To paraphrase Éliane Radigue's famous double 7" record, the two discs you hold in your hands are designed to be listened to either separately or simultaneously, synchronously or asynchronously. Similarly, the sides of these two discs can be played at any speed and in either direction. It is also permissible to scratch the record, block the arm to form a loop, intervene freely... The only limit is that set by your turntable.  For those who enjoy listening to music diff…

*2025 stock. 200 copies limited edition* And the cloud passes overhead. A drone crosses, reminding us of the whole summer outside. You just have to look up. Over the wall, can’t you see the courtyard and the hill covered with pines, at the base of which lie ancient barns that have better withstood the test of time than the castle. The fountain’s jet still makes its noise in the basin, under the gray stone watchtower. From here, the path always leads to Grand’rive under the damp cover of the beec…

*17 copies limited edition* Tristesse Apotropaïque is the mesmerizing new sonic statement from the trio Apparet! (Jeanne Gorisse / Julien Goussina / Marina Levallois), released via the adventurous nanopublisher MMLI. Recorded live in Lorfou just before the winter solstice, this unique project brings together Gorisse’s double bass, Goussina’s piano, and Levallois’ imaginative synthesizer and effects setup, born from a spontaneous, joyful musical encounter that channels playful experimentation and…

*97 copies limited edition* Free immersion is a practice that consists of freediving as low as possible and then climbing back up by gripping the rope that serves as a guide. No help, no artifice, everything happens with the strength of the arms. The fall into the depths is dizzying and the feeling of freedom, total. 4+1 pieces of double bass played with a bow, without artifice, recorded almost in one go. This record is deliberately abrasive without being aggressive, and reserves surprises of so…

Conceived as a refuge for peace, Ermitage de la Fumée Violette envelops listeners in vibrating tapestries…

*2025 stock. 43 copies limited edition* MMLI proudly presents Lore, the latest sonic offering from Cigve, an artist whose work folds shadowed textures, forgotten myths, and fractured harmonies into an immersive listening experience.   Both austere and deeply emotive, Lore moves between spectral ambience, brittle dissonance, and moments of fragile melodic clarity. The work feels as though it has been unearthed from an ancient archive, where memory and invention blur. Each track evokes the sensati…

*2025 stock. 62 copies limited edition* This winter we received an email asking us if we were interested to publish this. We immediately decided to publish that. Below is the text we received about this and that: « In the years 2021-22, PBK and DSM began to conceptualize a split release on cassette tape with the title, “ZIZ”. With each side acting as a mirror to the other, PBK and DSM skillfully reflect on each other’s audio creations. The parallelism extends beyond the music itself. Both sides …

*2025 stock. 22 copies limited edition with original drawing inside* We are proud and delighted to release Tuhaa Tabu, the new collection of songs by Roro Perrot, in various formats and editions. Seven series of seven cassettes were first released, followed by a CDR and finally a handful of floppy disks containing a selection of songs. In 2023, we couldn't avoid the digital version for purists of dematerialization, which has been coming back into fashion in recent years. Seven very different ser…

*100 copies limited edition* Documenting a scene? Or creating one? Here is an attempt to present a audio snapshot of whats stirring in the experimental Malmö underground in 2025. Four lengthy tracks from some of the most interesting artists residing in the city. On side A of this compilation Slug Mass brings us a weeping free jazz ballad that serves as an excellent example of their ongoing mission to reclaim the original definition of the term "post rock", in other words "using rock instrumentat…

*300 copies limited edition* A new devastating alliance in the Italian Power Electronics / Industrial underground. Black Flights marks the first collaboration between: Uncodified, Funerale Classico Italiano (aka Giovanni Maffeis, long-time collaborator of Brighter Death Now), and Wertham / Caligula031. Black Flights delivers everything you'd expect from this trio: structured, oppressive patterns, high-octane harsh frequencies, distorted field recordings, and vocal. The album is a cold, methodica…

Over the past decade, saxophonist Makoto Kawashima has consistently established himself as one of the most compelling improvisers in contemporary music. His unique approach to solo performance aligns him with the tradition of groundbreaking Japanese saxophonists like Kaoru Abe, Tamio Shiraishi, and Masayushi Urabe. Operating at the fringes of improvised music, Kawashima's artistry unveils a delicate essence, placing equal focus on silence and minute detail alongside intense expressions of tone a…

Lao Dan's innovative approach to music seamlessly intertwines elements of rock, free jazz, and noise with textures of Chinese folk music, creating a unique tapestry characterized by improvisational and aesthetic tension. His fearless transgression of genres, infusing Chinese folk-tinged free jazz with the raw energy of punk, results in a compelling and dynamic listening experience.

Paula Sanchez is a musician working with sound in the intersection of experimental music, improvisation and performance art. Putting the body and materials to the limit, in the destruction, composition/decomposition of a mutable sound space. In the pure presence, of an embodied sound that invents relations as it makes its way into nothingness. This album is the result of performative experimentations with cello and cellophane, and erotic encounters of transparent asphyxiation.

Vagabondage comes from my idle wandering through the city and my inner relationship with it - where the unexpected takes me – I take it - desire driven. Assuming the discourse between the ruins of my memory and my present idleness, I seek to let the events influence my choices in a way they unfold from this relation between my personal history and reflected in my music through my interaction with the city. This album was recorded in three different places of Lisbon: SMUP, Desterro and Casa do Co…

Listening closely to the duo of Elliott Sharp and Scott Fields one can hear a compact history of modern composition and improvisation. Although the duo has a sound all its own, under the surface you can sense traces of “New Music,” minimalism, free jazz, and blues.

In a spontaneous studio session, alto saxophonist Tim Berne met fellow saxophonist Masayo Koketsu and percussionist Nava Dunkelman for the first time, setting the stage for an improvisational encounter full of contrasts and surprising cohesion. Berne’s rich, dynamic tone, provided a grounded foundation, while Koketsu's innovative use of extended techniques and breathy, ethereal sounds—challenged the space with a more experimental edge. Dunkelman, with her textural percussion, wove between the tw…

Saxophonist Paul Flaherty is New England's purveyor of the ecstatic jazz pulse. Through the years, Flaherty remained unshakable in the pursuit of soul healing and demon dashing through freedom music. Six pieces of alto and tenor saxophone steeped in the theme of loss and channeled through blasting improvisations that showcase his fabulous wailing and inferno of sound to stark bluesy melodies. "January 20, 2005 was a cold night in Washington D.C. A dozen bands would perform at the Black Cat venue…

Vents is seemingly a musical wind trio - humans playing with flutes, airdrums, bubbles… Although, in each set-up, material has its own vitality.

SoiSong is the bright, stunning, and short-lived project conceived in 2007 by Ivan Pavlov (CoH) and Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson (of Coil). The duo combined Pavlov’s uncompromisingly-visceral digital aesthetics with Sleazy's decadent, dark and whimsical approach to creation. Primarily located on the Eastern Pacific Rim, the two named the project after the Thai word for ‘two’ (song), as well as the seedy red-light quarters ("gloomy Soi’s, or alley-ways") of Bangkok. Together, they developed a un…

*2025 stock. 150 copies limited edition* A reinterpretation of the multi-channel sound installation Solo / Mute / Pan by Laurent Güdel and Olga Kokcharova, for which they had assembled sound material they had recorded on in and around the museum in a perfromative act.

(find more information here: https://www.pasquart.ch/event/solo-mute-pan/). During the exhibition in Bie…

*2025 stock* Éric Gaudibert’s greatest legacy lies in his artistic generosity, aesthetic openness and commitment to exploration, qualities he shared throughout his career with fellow musicians and students. A decade after his passing, a vibrant and diverse artistic ecosystem shaped by his influence is brought into focus. To honour his memory, twenty-two composers who were accompanied or mentored by Gaudibert on their artistic paths were invited to create miniature works. These brief compositions…
