Substunce Sans Scrupule
"Substunce Sans Scrupule" is a dream. A hazy dream born in the emptiness between the words of "Igitur ou La folie d'Elbehnon" by Stéphane Mallarmé. A dream that sought Marcel Proust's lost time and constituted the light and the black void between the single frame of Gregory Markopoulos. It is the birth and the destruction of the work of art, primitivism and science. "Substunce Sans Scrupule" is as much Georgios Karamanolaki's automatic writing on the work of Jean-Marc Foussat as Jean-Marc Foussa…
John Duncan / T.R. Kirstein
*Limited edition of 200 copies* "On May 31st, 2019, the day Roky Erickson from 13th Elevators died (I later found out), I woke up from a dream of sound and text. I dreamt that John Duncan kept repeating the words You Are Safe entangled with sine waves. So I instantly shot him a message asking if it was too weird to do exactly that. He replied: "not too weird". " -- Tobias R. Kirstein -- You Are Safe and Come To Me are the first two collaborative tracks by Danish composer/artist Tobias R. Kirstei…
Less Is More

On this occasion the Orphax performance was recorded live. This CD features the full set - no edits, no cuts. This live set merges Orphax's fascination for minimalist art and his idiosyncratic take on drone music, offering warm and organic atmospheres in which the listener drifts away, losing not o…

The Fourth Season
The fourth installment from this brilliant Finnish duo consisting of Aprapat and Mogao, two relative newcomers who have climbed to the top of the pig-pile over the past 2 years. A certain Finnish “gatekeeper” claimed their debut tape was possibly one of the best Finnish harsh noise releases ever, and for my money, they’ve only gotten better since then. They follow their land’s tradition of junk metal abuse noise through mic’d amps, but their sonic skills and playful arrangements set them apart f…
Hot Lava Shampoo
One of noise’s freshest voices, hailing from Finland. Extremely creative and resonant harsh noise utilizing the basic elements. After a number of great cassettes on his own brilliant Satatuhatta label that a lot of folks (particularly in the USA) slept on, the world is finally ready to enjoy the genius of Aprapat.
Retrace No Steps
Latest release of K.M. Toepfler on White Noise Centipede. Cold, surgical harsh noise achieving militant purity through unorthodox means. Minimalistic brain drilling, carving, and rolling textures. Latent tones that attack the body’s nodes and trigger the misfiring of synapses. The disturbing sense of an ongoing moment of déjà vu that continuously compounds upon itself in waves.
Ruth
Ruth is Jason Crumer’s previously inaccessible harsh noise masterpiece. Recorded specifically for CD (and mastered apocalyptically loud) in 2004-05, Ruth was planned for release on numerous labels at the time of its completion, none of which came to fruition. Eventually, as if resigned to its fate, it was released as a highly limited tape on Nazot in 2008 - a format not at all conducive to the material. The noise on Ruth is razor-sharp and absolutely pummeling cut-up style harsh noise, executed …
Killing For Germany / Ragsved
The collaborative recordings of Sewer Election and Treriksröset throughout the mid-2000s are some of the most singular works of harsh noise orthodoxy ever created, holding a heavy position in the canon of noise music. The highly refined and counter-intuitive approach to layering, texture and dynamics contrasts miraculously with primitivism and minimalism, manifesting in several 30 minute slabs of exquisite crust recorded live to tape. "Killing For Germany" is perhaps their most static and straig…
Lacerations
Six international artists showcased across two compact discs of shredding sound, clattering depths, power electronics violence, and deafening discordance. Though a diverse compilation, Lacerations plays out like a cohesive extended nightmare. Twenty minutes each of essential material from Bacillus, Richard Ramirez, Rusalka, Interracial Sex, Vms Elit, and Cost. Mastered by Grant Richardson at extreme volume. Play loud.
Transociety Relics
**Double vinyl, 300 copies limited edition** László Hortobágyi is an electron released in the current world sound system galaxy. His sound art is simultaneously an expanded ethnography of an invented folklore and a way to preserve his acoustic environments for future generations. They are compositions of both terrestrial and spatial sound that present a rich auditory ecology and trace the path from the past to the future. Ancient and futuristic environments interconnected by invisible historical…
Cavité Aérienne
Latest release from Belgian composer Pierre Gerard is Cavité Aérienne (self released), a highly evocative title whose literal translation into English gives us something like “airline cavity”.
Delay x Takuma
Constructive is proud to present some radical reinterpretations of four tracks from Takuma Watanabe’s debut album ‘Last Afternoon’ by Vladislav Delay.‘Clouds Fall x Tactile’. Like taking a widescreen trip through Takuma’s perfectly constructed digital worlds. Loops of conversations, sheared sounds and bursts of low-end frequencies fill the air. All underpinned by those unmistakable strings.‘Text x Bruges’. Hyper chemistry of rhythmic urgency and Joan La Barbara’s vocals. Cut up and used as percu…
Subaerial
'Subaerial' is the latest and most sophisticated transmission from the long musical partnership of cellist Lucy Railton and keyboardist Kit Downes, a collaborative history that stretches back thirteen years. From the beginning, the pair bridged musical worlds, with the former emerging from classical and contemporary music and the latter steeped in jazz tradition.
Fernweh
Fernweh is the new tape by Danilo Ligato. Danilo Ligato is an Italian sound artist, musician and composer
Fernweh it’s passing musicFernweh it’s passing musicFernweh it’s walking musicFernweh it’s the noise of my memories Fernweh it’s the flaking of surfacesFernweh it’s a mysterious distant light Fernweh it’s the search for an intimate stillness Fernweh it’s a long nocturnal hugFernweh is it the nostalgia of the distance Fernweh it’s a fight in defense of silenceFernweh it’s a deep and shared sl…
