New Arrivals
Loka:Immanence
*100 copies limited edition* For his debut release on Vaknar, Yuto Ohashi dives deep into the digital ether by contrasting a pervasive atmosphere of mechanical blips and appliance clatter with dreamlike, angelic drones, all coalesced by what seems like constant transmissions of nebulous AI dialogue – forming the premise of a natural world submerged in a deep, virtual slumber.
"One of three Japanese ambient / experimental releases simultaneously issued by the Vaagner label last week, Yuto Ohashi’…
For Wind Poetry
*100 copies limited edition. In process of stocking* Starting in 2019 with ‘Life In A Shell’, the then new and upcoming Japanese producer yolabmi lay the foundation for a triptych of releases on Vaknar in the span of 3 years, all of which formed an ongoing sonic interrogation with his own past, while also consequentially reflecting on his growth as an composer and individual.
The final stage of this album triptych, ‘For Wind Poetry’, once again underpins the natural world of yolabmi’s past with …

Tumors
Brand new CD reissue of this classic Dead Body Love album. Remastered by Grant Richardson from the original master tape, this hour long masterpiece tears though the air space with layers of iron static swirl, and overloaded bass crunch. Not to be taken lightly.

Spectral Evidence
Tip! *50 copies limited edition. In process of stocking. 2023 stock* "Spectral Evidence (zero193) is a fabulacious piece of untamed, noisy, performance music. Slot this one into your toaster-cassette and you’ll be amazed that only two people are creating this enormous resonating vat of rattlement. Kris Limbach we know from the Emitter Micro label in Berlin. On that label, he’s been involved in some real puzzlers and heavy crunchers of abstract electronic blockery, none more puzzling than the two…
naming the trees
*50 copies limited edition. In processof stocking. 2023 stock* "Naming The Trees (zero192) by J. Surak is a concise art statement, just ten minutes a side on the limited cassette. Apparently produced by a combination of methods: analog synths, patches, treated and prepared instruments, and a humidifier – maybe a field recording of one of these handy domestic beasts, unless he “trained” its limited mind to assist in the performance in some way. Furthermore, it’s got something to do with a dance s…
The Last Piece of Graphite
*300 copies limited edition. In process of stocking* Ideas are suggested and quickly abandoned. In their wake chance becomes intention. Clues that reveal themselves upon repeated listenings. This is not background music or audio as utility. Repeated plays will unfold their rewards and spaces yet unexplored. For this is the last piece of graphite. Recorded in the studio, in the woods, and on river banks using analog electronics, prepared objects, bass, double bass, guitar, and tapes, in Hamburg/W…
Sketches
"If music really is a form of rapid transportation, then I have found my mode of transport. Suspense brings apprehension before something happens. It’s a fact. The next time you’re in a snappy nightclub, tap your foot to the memories of your day fading out under the blue lights. The fiercest way to walk anywhere is on your toes. “Here I am,” you blurt out, but everyone already knows you, because a bass is a foghorn that guides us out of exhaustion. The days are doing a little number on us all of…
Hermit Music
*In process of stocking* “Hermit Music is a collection of spontaneously composed pieces for the double bass and bow. From 2017-2019 I played a series of solo concerts in the US and Europe and wanted to capture the music I was creating at the time, so I planned to record in the Spring of 2020. Just before the Covid-19 pandemic began, my life had undergone some major changes and losses, but when New York shut down in March of 2020, I became deeply depressed and couldn’t bear to play my instrument …
