*200 copies limited edition. In process of stocking* On “Red Circle”: Though severely cut, Red Circle doesn't exactly sweep along. It has a deliberate pace as Kallabris sets up the score of thirteen chance acquaintances who plan and carry out the sacking of our acoustic consciousness... Understatement is the method of these compositions for a small modular synthesizer. If there ever was something like heist music, this here surely is. (Vincent Canby, with a few minor changes and adaptions).

*In process of stocking* "Corulu Flatdas Gasigo" was originally planned for release in 2003 but the project got stuck in limbo. 20 years later, an envelope was found in Finland, containing the only existing master on a cd-r plus all the cut & paste style graphics on xerox paper. Luckily the cd-r still functioned and the project will now finally be completed by Artsy Records.

Originally released in May 2006 through the German label Karaoke Kalk, »Osaka Bridge« was an album that captured the joyful amateurism of Tori Kudo's free-spirited Japanese collective Maher Shalal Hash Baz and Bill Wells’ rich, wistful and easy sense of melody. Approaching brass band and jazz music with a knack for making playing imperfectly feel perfectly right, »Osaka Bridge« became nothing short of groundbreaking when it was released to critical acclaim, becoming an instant classic among musi…

Large size book cm 23×27,5; pp. 460; hardcover  Few artists of any medium have captured successfully in their work the visual inundation common to those living in large cosmopolitan cities such as Tokyo, New York, London or Hong Kong. We are bombarded on a daily basis with all types of visual information and images from print media, smartphones and even some forms of public transformation. This exhibition catalogue from the National Museum of Osaka (2010) shows Tadanori Yokoo’s considerable and …

*100 copies. In process of stocking* Walker of many miles, Takahiro Mukai has released over 50 albums on tape, treading the analog ways as a committed journeyman. Selected here is what appears to be a full set of artificial field recordings from within a machine environment. Drops, chirps, growls, murmurs, currents, friction and other seemingly spontaneous emulations of the natural world. Scenes of technological wonder falling way short of techno, offering but brief glimpses of the autobahn, qui…

Tip! Padang Moonrise is the story of modern Indonesian music that emerged underneath the volcanoes of Java and Sumatra. Java, the most populous island in the archipelago of over 17,000 islands and 1300 distinct ethnic groups, and its capital city Jakarta, was where most of the post-colonial national identity, politics, administration and music production was centred. Traditional songs from Java, Sumatra, Bali and beyond were re-imagined by a small group of state-sponsored musicians that also com…

Tip! A musician expresses himself with sound; it seems a triviality, but any thought or idea launched takes shape and can be heard, can be listened to. Thus in a spontaneous way, one after another, particles can end up coming together bearing fruit, creating environments and scenarios, evolving. In this case, Maurizio Abate decides to paint short sound pictures, which become real pieces. These pieces are submitted to the listening of friends, who by free associations name them following their ow…

Because we are most certainly not alone. Having awoken an ancient forc…

*220 copies limited edition. In process of stocking* What to write about an album called Murdercoaster...? After several years of far too much serious stuff going on, I figured it was time to have a bit of fun again! This album draws on all the very worst of home video entertainment as an influence (previous listeners will be shocked by this revelation). I'm talking about the kind of trashy fun that required all the cheap latex, slime and screaming teenagers available to make the thinly draped p…

*200 copies limited edition. In process of stocking* This album and its concept was inspired by Kevin Mitnick’s book, A Ghost In The Wires: My Adventures As The World’s Most Wanted Hacker. Hackerexists in a largely forgotten world; the pre-Internet, pre-Windows era of the 1980s, when you had to use dial up modems to access another system and hacking was less about code and more about using social engineering to con people into giving you the information you needed.

Tip! *150 copies limited edition. In process of stocking* 2022 reissue of the now cult classic 2006 CDr release by Australian improvisers Joel Stern and Adam Park: "Observers, due to the location of the site, would always be in movement and their impressions would become an experience in space—time. They would see slab-like forms in ever-changing relationships. Private sensation would be obvious from the play with the relationships of size and position of the planes and the employed and implied …

In process of stocking* Pentiments welcomes the philosopher of math, contemporary artist, curator, enigmatic black sheep enfant terrible and close friend Eric Schmid to the fold with the conclusion to his infamous “Philosophers” trilogy.

The transmutation of the satirist precedents set by dark horse figures like Dieter R…

** 300 copies, Red Vinyl ** With his score to Bernardo Bertolucci's 1976 historical epic Novecento, Ennio Morricone delivered one of the richest efforts of his legendary career. A sweeping and impressively variegated work, it manages to capture the period detail required to complement Bertolucci's onscreen narrative, yet boasts a timelessness that's the hallmark of all the composer's masterpieces. Morricone's mastery of mood and texture reaches new zeniths here. Novecento communicates a vast emo…

Groupshow found their first opportunity in the routines of live performance and they used this opportunity to break with these routines. The trio consisting of J…

Highly imaginative stories, images that become stories, and mosaics with teeth are the focus of Raymond et Des Palmes, Francesco Cavaliere and Leonardo Pivi’s contribution to the collective exhibition Raymond curated by Luca Trevisani, and in collaboration with Olaf Nicolai, as a collateral event to the Palermitan edition of Manifesta 12 in 2018.

Tip! *In process of stocking* Less than a hundred miles inland from the capital city of Lima lies the great Peruvian jungle, an untamed land of impenetrable forests and endless winding rivers. In its isolated cities, cut off from the fashions of the capital, a unique style of music began to develop, inspired equally by the sounds of the surrounding forests, the roll of the mighty Amazon and Ucayali Rivers, and the rhythms of cumbia picked up from distant stations on transistor radios. With the a…

Formed in 1980 by guitar prodigy Leonardo Vela Rodriguez, Sonido Verde de Moyobamba created some of the hardest, craziest Cumbia to emerge from the Peruvian jungle. With distorted, surf-addled guitar facing off against lysergic organ and hyperactive tropical rhythms, Sonido Verde conjured the organic sound of the dense forests surrounding their hometown while riding their dance-party grooves to dizzying psychedelic peaks. Compiled by Analog Africa, Sonido Verde de Moyobamba presents eight ultra-…

With one album between them as Gailes, and profound work individually (also together as Orcas), Rafael and Thomas are masters of the ambient craft, combining intricate field recordings, guitar, pedals, vocals, and h…

TITR001 comes from hems, pressed to 180g vinyl housed in reverse board print.  Spread across five tracks, the release transits a number of spaces - from the post-inertia stirrings of "Chaotic Affair", to the cutting and more austere drone layout of "One". Cosmic tech broadcast "Beautiful weekend with friends" is a fizzing metamorphosis that mel…

The continuously edited, autonomous piece of code as which Atom™ defines itself enters the hot state of flow. »Neuer Mensch« (»new human«) is the relentless, visceral expression of metamorphosis. A projection of the metahuman horizon, an exercise in shedding the exoskeleton. Dead tissue is being torn off in radical body movements. Dead ideas are crushed by feet, dancing the dance of brutal elegance. Somatic exorcism via hyper realistic surfaces of binary noise. Physicality. Unseen geometries dre…

*2022 stock* Wrappers. Cover photograph by Tom Ahern. Hannah Weiner is "the only person on record—or so she believes as a result of her extensive investigations into both medical & parapsychic literature—to have experienced the particular phenomenon this journal represents, that of being 'spoken to' by several persons, most of them seemingly external to herself, by means of printed words in various colors & sizes that appear both on other persons & objects & on her own forehead (in such a way th…

*100 copies limited edition* Inspired by the work of Arte Povera, NEN achieves a high level of perceptual density with a limited sonic palette, combining remnants of musical instruments and electronics between fragments of samples and field recordings.
