Trueno
Trueno is the result of the exploration of two lovers of the unusual, the experimentation, and the noise. The product of the meetings between Martí and Oxo during various sessions recorded in 2024 in Oxo's private studio in Madrid. Martí provided his modular synthesizer, and DIY sound generators and modifiers. A set of parts that transform electric signals into audio and deconstructs them to the smallest grains. Through synthesis processes, and the use of the sampler as an instrument, the sound …
The Pool
The Pool represents Apta's most focused and compelling release to date. Based on the transformative plunge of a psychedelic experience, it maps both tentative footsteps into the unknown and euphoric, melodic bliss. Recorded using a combination of modular synthesis, Arp Odyssey, bass, guitar, Elektron grooveboxes and (for the first time in Apta's recorded history) a hint of vocals. There are wisps of melody from the outset, woven through skittering modular synths and saturated bass guitar. But it…

Hör!-Spiel / Nekrologlog 1961 / Fantasmata 1960
Originally “pressed on behalf of the musical youth of Austria” in 1975, this is the second, even rarer pressing on Preiser Records from the late '70s (estimated). The Greek avant-garde composer Anestis Logothetis was noted for his pioneering tape techniques as well for developing his own notation system for composition that incorporated visual symbols meant to be interpreted by the performers. “'Hör!-spiel' / Nekrologlog 1961 / Fantasmata 1960” collects three of his most famous works, realized i…
Manchmal Vertrödelt Christa S. Den Tag
Rare original issue. Recorded by the husband and wife duo of Kurt Schwertsik and Christa Schrwertsik, “Manchmal Vertrödelt Christa S. Den Tag” is a dreamy gestalt, an album that borders Chanson, spoken-word, Ubu-esque passages, chanting and singing, against a variety of textures and jazz noir. Kurt Schwertsik (b. 1935) is an Austrian experimental/avant-garde composer. His music is mercurial and idiosyncratic with a refreshing lightness of touch. Though a pupil of Karlheinz Stockhausen, the compo…
An Einen Haushalt
Rare original issue, comes with a 12" insert; some copies also contains a postcard. Released in the mid '70s in Austria on the great Jeunesses Musicales Praesentiert label (Anestis Logothetis, Dieter Kaufmann, Otto M.Zykan, Wilhelm Zobl). Heinz Karl Gruber (he professionally uses the form HK Gruber) is an Austrian composer, bass player and singer, born in Vienna on 3 January 1943 and a leading figure of the so-called Third Viennese School.Gruber is said to be a descendant (though the descent rem…
Konturen
Rare album from the little known composer Martin Bjelik. From the liner notes: “Consideration of concise, clear form, concentration and ‘interrelatedness’ of the thematic material: in some works, for example, this is presented at the beginning in the form of a melodic 'germ cell', which is then - binding for the entire piece - subjected to various modifications in the course of the musical development. The melodic structures are organised according to the principle of 'recesses'. The formation o…
Accadde a.......
Originally published in 1979 on Edizioni Leonardi's Squirrel Records label, “Accadde A…” is today one of the most popular titles among library music enthusiasts all around the world, as well as one of the rarest, most sought-after and highly rated records in the vast panorama of synchronization LP’s.
The composer of this album tracks is Luciano Simoncini, who appears here under the pseudonym Arawak. “Accadde A…” consists of twelve instrumental tracks mainly jazz/funk-based, ranging from more atm…
T
T, the 20th letter of the Latin alphabet, is the symbol for "True" in logic & the usual symbol for period, the reciprocal of frequency; the symbol for Tesla, the SI unit of magnetic field; the symbol for Tera- (as in one trillion); (t is) the SI symbol for tonne or metric ton & the usual symbol for time. T is also the middle letter in the word "soundTracks" and the initial letter of moody alien's poor ghost of a mother's name (as well as his own)...

Music for Fools (2022-2024)
After several extensive DIY world tours with his partner in pipes Enora Morice (from Wuhan to Bal?more via Ullapool ?!!), jester in chief Jazz Lambaux recently seKled and channeled the material he recorded over the past few years into a manifest album for Édi?ons Gravats (some of which got released as singles via excellent Brussels-based label City Links and video clips directed by Jazz himself). Almost 40 years a"er Baudrillard’s America, Jazz Lambaux offers his own fantasy of TV-fed - mostly w…

Strip Tease
Another side of Serge Gainsbourg permeates this 1963 film soundtrack about ‘a stripper lost in the nocturnal world’ of Paris, according to director Jacques Poitrenaud, who cast Nico in the lead role (after her appearance in La Dolce Vita and just prior to the single she cut with Jimmy Page for Andrew Loog Oldham). Created by Gainsbourg with arranger and longstanding collaborator Alain Gourager, the music is fittingly the cool jazz of dingy nightclubs and seedy bordellos, with Gainsbourg on piano…
Amber
*2025 stock* Amber is the first release of Jonah Segers. He presents four tracks of which three will take you on a journey through his routines of experimenting with different recording techniques and sound design.

Cosa Rara
A prolific and limitless musician, performer, composer, and sound artist, Lucrecia Dalt challenges both genre and form, pulling apart familiar elements of pop and experimental music and reassembling them in unexpected ways. Breaking through to a wider audience with her acclaimed 2022 album ¡Ay!, Dalt has also made a name as a composer for film and TV, including her original, acclaimed scores for HBO’s series The Baby, Cannes 2024 feature film winner On Becoming a Guinea Fowl, and the forthcoming…
Play Mary Lou Williams
It's very rare that Discus Music commissions the actual musical content of a new release from the artists. In this case Martin Archer enjoyed a live gig by the duo so much, which had included one Mary Lou piece, that he suggested to Adam and Johnny after the gig they put together an entire programme of her music for this CD/DL. MLW is, after all, one of Martin's favourite artists.
Adam and Johnny both understand and demonstrate in their playing that new music does not appear out of nowhere. Any …

Rotation-Free
Strong wind blows tumbleweed on unpaved streets of undisclosed desert settlement, dust and sand is in the air. Rusty shop sign of a small gas station dances and creaks in the hinges of its post. In the small bar, which serves as the only social establishment of this settlement, few habitues observe flickering unidentified object unsuccessfully trying to land on empty parking lot. Few of the habitues raise their beer bottles and cheer at the landing attempt, some of them are visibly excited about…
Lues / Delirium
One track on this 7” ep is called Lues, the other Delirium and after listening to this new installment to ever growing Organ of Corti discography I can confirm that those titles are a fair fit for the music. Lues is a medical term for syphilis and indeed, once you spend some time with this otherworldly music you won’t come back home as clean as you once were. Delirium, state in which you are not able to think or act straight followed by symptoms of fever, sleepiness and confusion. I can’t imagin…
Mae'r Olwyn Yn Troi
Tip! This is the second in the new series of the label's reissue albums on vinyl. Mae'r Olwyn yn Troi (The Wheel Turns), Heather Jones' first album, was released in 1974, and Sain is proud to celebrate the record's 50th year in 2024. It is regarded as one of the classic albums of the 70s - the songs, the instrumentation, the arrangements, the musicianship and the production reaching such a high standard.
The real star of the album is, of course, Heather herself. Her amazing pure voice and her di…
