A stunning immersion into the world of Merzbow during one of the project's most engrossing and important period's, Urashima’s latest, the first ever vinyl reissue of the project's legendary 1990 release, 'Rainbow Electronics', is a truly historic event. A monumental work of few parallels, even 30 years after its initial release, it still challenges the fundamental notions of what music is perceived to be.

Edition of 150. A masterclass in linguistics and a repeat reminder of the trouble one can get into when carrying a name that is either too long, too short or too complicated for most tongues to twist around. The screen printed image on the flipside holds the key to this mystery. (And if you squint at it for a while it might also reveal Paul McCartney’s real identity.) Includes a bent piece of leftover screen printed carboard and a sticker. Sigtryggur Berg Sigmarsson (b. 1977) is an Icelandic mus…

Limited 2 LP edition. Downfall is the first album under the name Saito created by Lena Saito, aka Galcid, and produced by accomplished analog synthesizer guru, Hisashi Saito, aka Lena's husband. Having descended from a long line of Japanese sword-smiths, the industrial sound of smashing steel is embedded in Lena's DNA and reflected in her music, however there are also refined, hypnotic tones showing a side with more finesse. The music itself is not scored and is predominantly improvised. Words a…

* Edition of 100 * Of the air was recorded in April of 2015 in Charleston, SC on an 1890 tracker organ. Linkages between stops and the slider chests that open the ranks of pipes to control timbre are mechanical. As a result, pulling out a stop slowly brings in not only a new timbral layer, but does so in way that causes the new sound to slide into the correct pitch. This allows for a microtonal pitch world. During the recording process I was stuck by the way holding down a diatonic cluster while…

* Edition of 100 * For Filaments, I used a 1968 Heath EUW-27 sine generator to create a series of overlapping tones that were recorded to tape. While being played back, I added a lower frequency sine wave run through a ring modulator and slowly rode the pitch shifting dials in real time, improvising alongside the playback. "Filament I" is broken up into three controlled parts, Part I is led by the interaction of the first grouping of tones, Part II is led by subtle shifts in the ring mod, and Pa…

Including download code of high quality digital version.* Based in Germany for the last two decades, Japan-born Miki Yui’s music is relatively small in scale but exceptionally rich in texture.

* Edition of 200 * For this new compilation, Anthology of Experimental Music from Mexico, the Italian label Unexplained Sounds Group has gathered artists from different generations who are striving to keep this "scene" alive, not only through their music but also by creating spaces and communities for other artists, both national and international, to thrive in.

Through her Kuupuu alias, she dwells among an illustrious generation of Finn sound wizards which includes Tomuttontu/Jan Anderzen, Tsemba/Marja Ahti, Lau Nau et al.

Edition of 300 copies, gatefold sleeve. These two well-known Hamburg cook-artists have been stirring in the same pots for 25 years - only! with different spoons. One, the young man, forces his whisk into the sweetest dishes & conjures up delicious dishes - even from the spoiled remains of fish - for the thousands and thousands of hungry mouths.  The other, the old gurnard, first pushes his wooden spoon into the humming depths of a beehive to the end of the stem, before enraptured dragging it thr…

* Edition of 200 * Psychic Drones is a brand new project by Joel Gilardini and Kazuyuki Kishino (aka KK Null). Born out of the admiration for each other works, during spring 2020 we decided to join forces together and started working on this new project.

It was a creativity flood, exchanging mails and sound files over the ether, from Switzerland to Japan…

* Edition of 200. Oversize packaging. Poster color cover, close is 21x21 cm * "As Teatro Satanico we conceived these tracks in September 2018, when somebody advised us that Dmitry Vasilyev died by drowning in the Black Sea. Dmitry managed our first Russian gig in Moscow that same year, and we became friends. On the spur of the moment, to honour him composing some tunes looked like a sort of natural unconscious reaction to that bad news. Anyway, we stopped working on them almost immediately and w…

Six great pop standards remembered: five pop songs are dissected by sampler, stretched, compressed, and re-collaged. In this way, their identity is lost. What remains is a vague concreteness: flashes of déjà vu and remote echoes that evoke the original. GES (Gesellschaft zur Emanzipation des Samples) active members: Helmut Schmidt, Jan Jelinek Founded: 2009 Headquarters: Federal Court of Justice, Karlsruhe, Germany. From the GES Glossary: Sampling: Compositional practice whereby recorded music i…

* Limited Edition * Among the musicians whose work closely reflects the reduced forms in experimental music, perhaps the most interesting is Cristián Alvear, a Chilean guitarist performing formally radical post-Cagean music, as well as Laurent Peter aka D'incise, a composer, multi-instrumentalist and producer, one of the key figures of the eclectic scene in Geneva. The numerous projects in which they participate prove their strictly defined artistic vision and active involvement in networking th…

In retrospection it seems significant that Reinhold Friedl and Eryck Abecassis met for the first time in Marseille, a brute and operatic melting pot of cultures and sounds and noises. The idea of a common project came up, but it took almost ten years to be realized. Finally, François Bonnet (GRM artistic director) supported enthusiastically the collaboration and invited the two composer-performer to the Akousma Festival 2019 at Radio France in Paris. Intense rehearsal periods in Vienna and at la…

*Edition of 200. CD + 8" 36-page photographic booklet.** "This work is loosely inspired by the title of a song by Tim Buckley included in his 1970 album "Starsailor" (a cover version by This Mortal Coil released in the '80s by 4AD was quite formative for me).

We met Franck Vigroux for the first time years ago at Berlin's Berghain during a soundcheck. At that time he performed with Mika Vainio, with whom Vigroux often worked together. The first track on Ballades sur lac gelé dates back to that time. It was created under the impression of this collaboration and friendship with Mika Vainio. This album is dedicated to him. Vainio's oeuvre is also significant in connection with the history of raster, so it was only logical and our wish to release this alb…

Videosphere, the debut album by Kompakt’s latest signing, the London-based artist Lake Turner (aka Andrew Halford), swoons into focus with “The Sunbird”, a teasing drift of lilting, ambient tones, riding out a submerged piston-pulse rhythm. Across its brief 109 seconds, it manages to traverse evocative terrain – something mythopoetic, something both humble and grandiose, a glimpse of the other behind the sky’s curtain. “I wanted to conjure up something resembling an ancient ceremony or death pro…
