New Arrivals
Ensemble A
Ensemble A is a turbulent meeting of three fiercely individual improvisers - Ignaz Schick harnesses live electronics and turntables, Anaïs Tuerlinckx dismembers and reinvents the piano, and Joachim Zoepf twists reeds into guttural shapes. The result is a volatile sound collage, sometimes blunt-force, sometimes eerily restrained.
Oneiric
Oneiric evokes drifting memories and waking dreams - an album created by Jane in Ether where recorders, piano, and violin/voice entwine in gauzy, tactile improvisations. Their music moves in soft spirals, trading clarity for a haze of overlapping tones and near-silence, aching toward something just out of reach.
Whistle and I'll Come To You
Whistle and I’ll Come To You by Death and Vanilla is an evanescent, cinematic dream-pop companion to the cult 1968 BBC ghost story film. Through shimmering synths, vibraphone, and spectral loops, the Malmö trio crafts an atmospheric journey where hauntology, vintage electronics, and melancholy motif intertwine, conjuring equal parts nostalgia and spectral unease.
The Last Sacrifice
The Last Sacrifice by Mike Lindsay—co-founder of Tunng and the creative force behind Lump—offers a meticulously crafted folk-horror soundtrack that doubles as a standalone listening experience. Written as the audio companion to Rupert Russell's sinister true crime tale, Lindsay’s score winds through moods of spectral dread and rustic eeriness, shaped by analog warmth and otherworldly textures. The resulting album is immersive and haunting, deftly blending traditional English folk motifs with chi…
Howl
Howl by Daisy Rickman offers a luminous journey through Cornish and English folk, steeped in mythic sun worship, nocturnal dreamscapes, and meditative storytelling. Recorded and performed entirely by Rickman herself, this second album channels solitary creativity and multi-instrumental textures into ten radiant pieces where sun, memory, and spirit intertwine in slow-burning, ornamental songforms.
Let the Spirit Out/Live at 'Mu' London
Big tip! This is it! Chicago spiritual jazz master Kahil El'Zabar delivers one of the most powerful live recordings in recent memory! Captured over two unforgettable nights at "mu" in London - July 15th & 16th, 2024 - this is music as ancient ritual, as communion, as healing force. El'Zabar created new material specifically for these performances, alongside reimagined arrangements of classics like Wayne Shorter's "Footprints", Gershwin's "Summertime", and Duke Ellington & Juan Tizol's "Caravan".…
Early Works
Bill Fontana investigates the physics of perception itself. Side A: tape collages where sound becomes both material and force. Side B: Wave Spiral for 5 Rin Gongs - a sidelong, 21-minute centerpiece where pure sine waves create interference patterns, frequency made sculptural. Sound spiraling through space, dissolving boundaries between observer and phenomenon.
Where to From
Where to From marks the much-anticipated solo return of Hildur Guðnadóttir, a composer-collaborator equally versed in spectral pop, avant-garde, and soundtrack work. Reaching beyond her acclaimed film and TV scores, Guðnadóttir crafts nine intimately reflective pieces for strings and choir—drawn from years of voice memos and melodic fragments—where minimalist restraint meets moments of luminous warmth. The album’s texture hovers between Scandinavian melancholy, sacred choral atmosphere, and a me…
Cello Anthology
*We've managed to get a few copies of the 'Artist's Proof Edition' of this box set which include 4 CDs, a 154-page book, 16 full-color poster inserts, and a LP in screenprinted cover.* Charlotte Moorman answered her phone and people left messages. Between performances of 26'1.1499" for a String Player and television appearances inside Nam June Paik's TV Cello, between organizing fifteen editions of the New York Avant Garde Festival and being arrested for indecent exposure during Opera Sextroniqu…
One and Many Flutes
One and Many Flutes by Hannah Todt transforms steel tubes into a playful and subtly radical modular installation, offering airy, slow-motion explorations of sound through individually voiced mouth holes. The album foregrounds tactile resonance and fragmentation, inviting listeners into a sonic space akin to slow Japanese flute traditions, balancing minimalist freedom with community-driven performance practice.
West and East Baying
West and East Baying by Oakland Reductionist Orchestra investigates the porous boundaries between acoustic improvisation and electronic sound, favoring the subtle friction and microdynamics of “lowercase” performance practice. Across two extended pieces—one live, one studio-crafted—this Bay Area supergroup reveals the intricate textures, restrained intensity and deep listening that define the West Coast reductionist scene.
Seeing the Way the Mole Tunnels
Seeing the Way the Mole Tunnels by James McKain, Damon Smith and Weasel Walter immerses listeners in an unmediated environment of spontaneous improvisation, where baritone saxophone, double bass and percussion fuse into a dense lattice of collision, momentum and subterranean drift. Their interplay balances volatility, swift exchange and the elusive logic of movement beneath the surface.
Betsy Jolas: Femme le soir
Femme le soir immerses listeners in Betsy Jolas’s world of memory, inquisition, and fleeting radiance, performed by Anssi Karttunen (cello) and Nicolas Hodges (piano). These pieces unravel at the tempo of spoken thought, suspending lyrical lines in unhurried motion and sudden illumination.
Chopin & Lazkano: Préludes
This double portrait places Chopin’s beloved Préludes in nimble counterpoint with new ensemble works from Ramon Lazkano, translated by Maroussia Gentet and Ensemble Cairn under Guillaume Bourgogne. The result is both homage and reinvention, unlocking resonances between eras through lyric immediacy and textural experiment.
Sarah Nemtsov: Tzimtzum
Tzimtzum imagines four sweeping new orchestral canvases from Sarah Nemtsov, weaving Ensemble Nikel’s hybrid-electric force with WDR Sinfonieorchester’s expressive palette under Peter Rundel. Her music traces broken cycles - rupture, echo, and repair - through deeply textured instrumentations and bold structural arcs.
Pierre Boulez: Éclat-Multiples
Éclat-Multiples unmasks Pierre Boulez’s music at its most mercurial and sensorial. Michael Wendeberg leads Collegium Novum Zürich and Ensemble Contrechamps through shifting prismatic textures, capturing Boulez’s fascination with timbre, spatial construction, and the suspended motion of silence and sound. Each gesture is meticulously contoured, reinforcing the line between energetic outburst and architectural poise.
Selected Works 1985-2005
Selected Works 1985-2005 by Gabrielle Roth & The Mirrors assembles eleven transformative pieces from two decades of percussive ambient innovation. This 2025 repress captures their hypnotic blend of ceremonial rhythm, improvisation and deeply spiritual overtones, threading together global traditions and ecstatic energy to create immersive soundscapes meant for both movement and contemplation.
New Conference Call
New Conference Call brings together Gebhard Ullmann, Uwe Oberg, Joe Fonda and Dieter Ulrich for an engaging session rooted in deep listening, spirited interplay and exploratory textures. Their varied compositional voices and dynamic rapport yield music that stretches from reflective lyricism to intricate rhythmic conversations, underscoring their ability to blend innovation with ensemble empathy.
Solo Acoustic Volume Eight
2025 Stock. Sir Richard Bishop returns with another chapter in his ongoing exploration of solo acoustic guitar territories. Solo Acoustic Volume Eight presents a three-part suite titled Hypostasis - a extended meditation that finds the master guitarist weaving together familiar themes with entirely new compositional ideas across both sides of the vinyl.
Known for his legendary work with Sun City Girls and his deep immersion in global guitar traditions, Bishop has spent decades developing a style…
Slow Crimes
2025 Stock. The Work emerged from the dissolution of Henry Cow in 1979, formed by saxophonist Tim Hodgkinson, guitarist Bill Gilonis, bassist Mick Hobbs, and drummer Rick Wilson. Their inaugural LP, Slow Crimes, is a little-known treasure of transformative magnitude, so rabidly articulate that it presides over and resides in a world very much unto itself. While falling within the loosest guidelines of post-punk, the term proves inadequate: the textural intricacies and distinct deliberacy through…
