Judson Dance Theater: The Work Is Never Done (Book)
2024 stock. Taking its name from the Judson Memorial Church, a socially engaged Protestant congregation in New York's Greenwich Village, Judson Dance Theater was organized as a series of open workshops from which its participants developed performances. Redefining the kinds of movement that could count as dance, the Judson participants—Trisha Brown, Lucinda Childs, Philip Corner, Bill Dixon, Judith Dunn, David Gordon, Alex Hay, Deborah Hay, Fred Herko, Robert Morris, Steve Paxton, Rudy Perez, Yv…
Once You'll Touch The Sky You Will Never Return To Dust
Once you'll touch the sky you will never return to dust’ is the fifth studio album by Roberto Opalio, “the more sinister half of My Cat Is An Alien” according to Byron Coley.
Sémi Hóra
Stunning! 75 copies on white vinyl with numbered postcard and download. In the early 80s, Exart label owner Hessel Veldman regularly went to the city of Rotterdam to visit the creative minds behind local act Rotterdans. Their base was a house that both served as a home studio to record sessions of improvised music and a dealing spot for marihuana, which means customers were ringing the doorbell all day and all night long. During a late-night session one of the Rotterdans members told Veldman abo…
Usher / Trauma
150 copies on black vinyl. Organ of Corti, the trio of Joachim Nordwall (IDEAL Records, The Gagmen), Mattias Gustafsson (Altar of Flies) and Dan Johansson (Sewer Election, Enhet för Fri Musik) returns with another exercise in the slow-motion decay of analog sound. Usher, a minimal hypnotic track on side A reveals its subtle details after multiple listens while the claustrophobic Trauma on the flipside will grab your immediate attention. Machines that hum, sputter, and crackle while slowly moving…
A Stranger To Extreme
Western Siberian crime electronics centered around the figure of serial killer Vladimir Mukhankin. Feedback, vocals, tv samples, no computer editing.
...It Is Death.
A true gem of modern power electronics, with a vision and a personal touch and not just another boring rehash or real cheap version of the classics, as you can mostly find in recent years, especially when centered around such eternal themes. Absolute pinnacle in the art of Mike Golen, definitely not a new name that you should also know for his contribution to bands such as Sea Of Shit, Paucities and Winters In Osaka. ''A grim exploration of death, depression and confronting one's own mortality. …
Lascivious Progression
Mexican dark sleaze at its finest. No cheap stuff here, but a long running obsession, deep explorations and knowledge. From the mind behind Sodomy from Beyond, Hiroshima Dust, Sangre and Muerte Violenta publications etc.
Living in a Wet Dream
Hi class postmortem from Russia from this extremely talented visionary.
Year Zero
Barbarian Red Terror PE from the old cold world. Their most powerful statement to date, after two already impressive efforts on Styggelse and NBM. In the works for ages, recorded two times and submitted in its most powerful final version just before the pandemic broke loose... The perfect soundtrack for these final years of so called capitalist ''civilization'' in humanity's fading glow. Just excellent. Comes with an accompanying 24 page zine featuring visuals and manifesto from the band. So ex…
Like Straw and Meaningless
Cría Cuervos is the personal project of our old pal Eugenio Maggi, active since the 90s, and one of the most discreet, elusive, meaningful participants to 'the scene' that come to my mind when I think about ''italian underground''. ''Like Straw and Meaningless'' continues his new phase started with ''Bovarism'' on JDV moving from dark / ambient territories to a more stripped down yet atmospheric form of harsh noise. First copies come with a sticker.
The Unquiet Grave
New solo tape for our main man Mauro Sciaccaluga [Diazepam tapes, Deprivation, Parassitismo, Spasmo, RL, Sator... and countless more]
Chants, metal, bones.
Un Destino Perfido
Parassitismo from Genova come back with a vengeance delivering an impressive second effort, after a much praised self-titled debut cassette on their home imprint, Diazepam (also reissued on CD by AAD). Eerie, cold and murky synth-driven PE with a piercing dosage of feedback loops and junk / glass wreckage. "Un destino perfido" [trad. "A wicked fate"] has been recorded during a rather black summertime in the band's rehearsal room, located in the glorious Staglieno cemetery; apparently some voice…
Sea Songs
This is the 3rd appearance of Odesa-based Hennadii Boichenko (ex-Indirect) on Muscut, after his contribution as a part of the Indirect band (Ab Pharmacy / Waltz - 2014, Ode To The Sea - 2016 with Nikolaienko). 7” single, “Sea Songs,” - is a record mixed and tape mastered by Dmytro Nikolaienko. This is also the first episode of a newly started series of analog production chain releases with master reel tape transfer to lathe cut (the label has only been sending digital master files to the record …

Skultura
*300 copies limited edition* Composition, improvisation, and performance are no longer the only elements at play in Dunston’s recorded work. On Skultura, he continuously shapes the music with various sound-manipulation techniques to create an album that is meticulous as it is visceral. To quote Jacob Garchik’s liner notes, the ‘work is made of continuous waves of inspiration and creation, strata of improvisations madepermanent, each layer related to the one below, or not’. Skultura is revered in…
Music For Labyrinths
*300 copies limited edition* "Keith was a dear friend firstly. He was a generous, wonderful person and, of couse, a genius, a true artist. We all owe so much to him for we started our label with his critically acclaimed piano solo “Mujician IV - Live in Piacenza”, way back in 2015. We welcome this album as a real blessing for the soul. So long dear Keith: your music shall live forever." - Max Marchini
Music for Labyrinths is an open live project for a soundtracks of labyrinths around the world a…
Flax
'Flax' is a 79-minute solo work for piano by the Canadian composer Martin Arnold. It was commissioned in 2020 by the pianist Philip Thomas, but sadly Philip became seriously unwell shortly afterwards. Martin Arnold completed the composition in 2021, and - as Philip was now unable to perform it - the project was taken on by Kerry Yong, with Philip's agreement and support. 'Flax' was premiered by Kerry Yong at the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival in November 2023, when the CD recording was…
Reyes
Vinylization of the splendid 2021 cassette, issued by Garden Portal. The music was recorded partially out west in San Francisco and Point Reyes (hence the title), as well as in Jeffrey Alexander's current locale of Philadelphia. An instrumental addition to Alexander's canon, the music was mostly generated on guitar, but other sonic elements include -- bass, pebbles, fake mellotron, waves, moog, shells, fife, magnetic tape, and talking book phonograph. The results are a sweet, rural stroll throug…
