*2025 much needed repress!!! 200 copies limited edition* Glow World is Rod Modell's new project resulting from his collaboration with Taka Noda. The duo delivers what could be an example of perfect elegance and musical refinement, but the resulting sounds are once again dirtied, ruined and ravaged by a noise capable of deafening us, sounds that come from afar, that seem to fade away but suddenly illuminate the world around us, which lands on us and which no longer belongs to us, leaving us lost …

Bomb! 200 copies, clear vinyl. Valuable vinyl reissue for this historic four-handed work by Gigi Masin and Giuseppe Caprioli. The concept of multitude combined with the figure/symbol of the labyrinth suggests orders of thought relating to the multiple states of being that inhabit the dark labyrinths of the soul, the hidden regions of the human psyche. All in Multitude In Labyrinth leads us to look for keys to understanding the ultimate meaning of a test as enigmatic as it is powerful. A congerie…

The encounter between Ramona Ponzini and Maurizio Bianchi yields a work poised on the threshold between evocation and vertigo: a sonic device unfolding through stratifications, resonances, and semantic as well as acoustic collisions.Maurizio Bianchi, a pioneer of the Italian industrial scene, chisels soundscapes built from abrasive, material noises, dissonant cadences, and atmospheres both dust-laden and rarefied yet simultaneously dense. The listener moves across these terrains as if navigating…

*300 copies limited edition* "Songs of Compassion" is a project by United States of Alchemy, bringing together Dorothy Moskowitz, Francesco Paolo Paladino and Luca Chino Ferrari in a musical landscape that moves between psychedelic balladry, chamber music and delicate electronic soundscapes. The album explores the shades of night and the subtle vibrations of an almost intangible emotional dimension, where music seems to arise from inner listening rather than from conventional compositional struc…

*300 copies limited edition* With "Dadayama", His Majesty The Baby presents a work that stands at the crossroads between music, sound poetry and the theatrical spirit of the historical avant-gardes. The project unfolds as a conceptual suite built from fragments, quotations, soundscapes and vocal interventions that openly engage with the traditions of Dadaism and Surrealism. The album is the result of a long creative process coordinated by Francesco Paolo Paladino, who also oversaw the artistic p…

There is no longer any turning back is an excerpt from ”The Aphorisms of Zürau”, a posthumous work by Franz Kafka. The work represents a path without obstacles, a descending abyss toward ourselves, toward the roughness of our deepest selves that we cannot explain and probably cannot confess. The individual track titles make up another excerpt by David Foster Wallace from an interview with David Lipsky: «The part of me that thought I was different or smarter or whatever almost killed me.» All tra…

"Below/Light" by Filer Coleman is a selection of ambient works by Jim Filer Coleman. It represents an antidote, or perhaps a counterpart, to the more aggressive music that he may be more known for such as Cop Shoot Cop and Human Impact. These tracks were recorded over a span of a few years, slowly evolving and seeking definition. Electrocoustic in nature, the approach was always exploratory and playful, searching for balance and connection with the natural world. Jim Coleman was an instrumental …

Up To 23 is an electronic music duo formed by Marco Buffetti and Francesco Fincato. “Hydor LP” is a sonic journey diving into the ever-changing nature of water. From vast seascapes to the depths of the underwater world, the album aims to capture the power and tranquility of this elemental force, shifting between dark tones, ethereal visions and cinematic moods. The last two tracks feature a collaboration with Enrico Coniglio, whose guitar parts lay a foundation for fluid and hypnotic soundscapes…

The acquatic and marine imagery drawn by the titles and the artwork for “The Gentle Whale”, Francesco Lurgo’s second LP, the first one for Silentes, are a metaphor for a sound that is liquid and like the sea is constantly shifting from the quietness of intimate ambient moments to waves of maximalist sonic pressure, always looking with admiration to the creative world of contemporary soundtracks. From this sonic fluid, arpeggios and themes played by melancholic post-rock guitars and plucky synths…

*200 copies limited edition* After "The Disintegration Of Silence", marked as a continuation of the work between visual artist Stefano Gentile and Belgian ambient musician Dirk Serries, Dirk returns to Stefano's Silentes/13 label with a new album, entitled "Defiance Of Self". In the wake of its predecessor, Dirk worked on this album in January 2024 using his motherboard of pedals and an electric guitar to create this slightly darker and experimental album. Once again performed and recorded entir…

Tip! Much needed repress! Music For Bus Stations is an astonishing work that pours into the soul of those allowing themselves to be transported in a dimension where sound turns into background noise. Sound becomes part of us, of our movements, our thoughts, our looks and our silences. There is no reason for resistance. Let's be silent. The noise around us is quite good. "Generative sonic backdrop for bus stations. Designed to enhance space and portray a mod of progressiveness, grandeur, and ethe…

*200 copies limited edition* Out today, March 5, 2026, a very special project by Paolo L. Bandera (Sigillum S, Sshe Retina Stimulants, The Sodality, Ensemble Sacré Garçons, etc.) and Devis Granziera (Teatro Satanico, Lunus, etc), released on CD by Silentes on the day of their birthday.“...we were both born on the fifth of March, even if in different years... after having been friends for a long time, we started discussing a possible collaboration in late 2024 and Devis came up with the intriguin…

*250 copies limited edition*  - SynopsisA cosmic operator (Edward Ka-Spel), tasked with cleansing the Universe, stumbles upon the remains of a mysterious monastery scattered in Jupiter’s skies during his work shift. The monastery once housed a community of cloistered nuns devoted to cosmic solitude. Among the ruins, he discovers the diary of Suona Menfrem (Dorothy Moskowitz). Through her words, he uncovers the secrets of her soul—her love for a woman millions of light years away—and learns why t…

*200 copies limited edition* “Rifugio per mille persone” is a place before it is an album. A sonic shelter built by Alessandro Sgarito and Roberto Mares starting in November 2024, through a slow process of listening, layering, and waiting. The nine tracks that make up the record move between ambient, post-rock, electroacoustic, and new classical music, shaping suspended, essential soundscapes permeated by silence. Contributions to the album come from Helga Raimondi (Dictaphone), Laura Bisceglia …

*200 copies limited edition* Focussing more on the atmospheric-ambient-drone side of the moon, Spielerei presents seven moving soundscapes, all composed, performed, recorded and finally mixed in the cozy environment of the artist living room studio, where sacred rituals of black coffee, love & peace and musical creativity are cherished.

*200 copies limited edition* "Listening from the 80’s to Ambient explorations in the form of IDM, Minimal Techno and other more experimental Glitch, Clicks & Cuts styles and its creative, playful use of rhythmical structures and sounds, inspired me to take a step out of my musical comfort zone into more beat driven area’s and so, I bought myself a MPC Key 37 and overwhelmingly started hitting the pads, pressing the keys, twisting the knobs, in attempt to let my musical history repeat itself with…

"In this project, Giuseppe Verticchio explores the universe of ritualistic, primal, shamanic acoustic drones and traditional music from the east. The result communicates us the ecstasy. This album summons the divine nature, it's a real musical ceremony, a chant of the origins. The acoustic, ritual elements are perfectly mixed with a solid industrial, noisy ambient base. Consequently this is a rather unique, very personal musical experience that can be collected by ethnomusicologists and fans of …

*200 copies limited edition* After a good six years from Nimh's last solo CD of previously unreleased material (Circles of the Vain Prayers), and two years after his previous collaborative CD (Post-Folk Lore Vol.1), Giuseppe Verticchio is back, walking again on those same electronic paths strongly imbued with ethnic ritual suggestions and sonorities. The sound of string and wind instruments, metals and percussion instruments coming mainly from South-East Asian countries, combined with refined el…

*200 copies limited edition* "Cold Star: A Noise Inc." is a collaboration between Deison and Cranioclast. From 2019 to 2024 there were continuous virtual exchange processes to create long sound-themes. The sounds were recorded, collected and manipulated by Deison at 1st Floor Studio and by Soltan Karik with the virtual succour by Sankt Klario. Tracks are segmented as circular encyclicas and the notorious use of anagrams is adopted for each title. Michael from Kallabris, helped to start the colla…

“Not only are the galaxies spinning, but also the stars within the galaxies, and the Earth is spinning, and the Earth around the sun and the moon around the Earth. Pretty much the whole universe is spinning.”"This statement by the astrophysicist Noam Libeskind together with the aphorism, attributed to Heraclitus, "Panta Rei" (everything flows) and especially the Poem of the Atoms by the Sufi poet Rumi were the sources of inspiration for my new musical project. Jalal al-Din Rumi was also the foun…

*200 copies limited edition* Black Bamboo IV continues TeZ's series of electroacoustic and acousmatic performances, centered on the live transformation of acoustic sources and field recordings. Improvisations unfold through the interplay of hybrid DIY tools, traditional folk and ethnic instruments, environmental textures, and archival audio fragments. These elements are expanded and recombined through generative filters, delays, pitch shifters, and harmonizers—woven into evolving feedback loops …

*200 copies limited edition* This is the second collaborative album between Matteo Uggeri (based in Milan) and Andrea Bellucci (from La Spezia). Their first work, "The Soundtrack of Your Secrets", was developed amid the well-known challenges of the pandemic, between 2020 and 2022. The last song of that album was titled “Opinions about Death”. Afterward, Matteo faced an even more difficult period in his life, accompanying his mother through her final days after a long illness that had lasted sinc…

**Edition of 200** Vittore Baroni and Daniele Ciullini met in the early 1980s in the then flourishing circuit of fanzines and mail art, starting a series of collaborations in small self-produced artistic publications and in the sound field, as in the case of “The Cop Killers”, a tape part of the TRAX multimedia project. In 2018, at the time of the vinyl reissue of this audio cassette, the idea of giving a sequel to the dystopian-science fiction "industrial opera" was born, but without anything c…

The compilation "Return to Acapulco - Music for Hotels Vol. 1", curated by Vittore Baroni and released in the summer of 2024, collected 16 songs created by as many musicians as a soundtrack for the different areas of a typical seaside hotel structure. The second volume of this unique collection that seeks new solutions to combine tourism and culture starts from a different concept, with 20 covers of well-known and lesser-known songs dedicated to summer by 20 Italian musicians and bands (plus a c…

Slow Dances and Still Memories is the convergence of two musicians from distinct generations, Andrea Bellucci & Giulio Aldinucci — a languid waltz of fragmented memories and fleeting emotions, tied to moments in life, whether they arise from a dancefloor or a remote rural setting, from the hum of the night or the stillness of silence. Electronics here functions much like time itself: they blurs, distorts, reshapes, and subtly deceives memory… A choreography of ancient voices that intertwine in t…

*200 copies limited edition* "Contrary to the implication of the title, Nathan Amundson’s new album "Thing Fall Apart" holds quite tightly at its center. In fact, for a decade-spanning compilation of unrelated 'singles', the collection somehow comes together rather poetically and seamlessly - albeit in some-sort of slow-mo, existential collapse much more in line with the title. By 'singles', please don’t get it twisted with the modern, music parlance - more so indicating pieces made with no orig…

'Verrückt' was originally a split cassette release with Criminal Party from back in 1987 on the Japanese label Lunatic Propaganda. M.B. better known as Italian power electronics/avant-garde/noise artist Maurizio Bianchi contributed one side of the tape. Original copies are scarce, to say the least, so M.B. himself reissued it as a CDr and now St.An.Da. give it the vinyl treatment. Captivating '80s underground cassette music, bordering on ambient with its bubbling dreamlike soundscapes.

*200 copies limited edition* Renowned Italian ambient composer Gigi Masin returns with his latest immersive creation, Imploding in a Blinding Darkness, Pt. 2. This new release deepens the evocative soundscapes and emotional textures that define his groundbreaking work. Blending ethereal melodies with rich ambient layers, Masin invites listeners on an intimate journey into mystery and introspection. The album continues the exploration initiated in the first part, delivering a captivating fusion o…

*200 copies limited edition* Italian ambient pioneer Gigi Masin returns with his captivating new album, Implodendo In Una Accecante Oscurità, Pt. 1. The title, which translates to  "Imploding in a Blinding Darkness", hints at the immersive sonic journey within—a delicate balance between light and shadow, stillness and movement. This record showcases Masin’s signature blend of ethereal melodies and textures, weaving intricate soundscapes that echo the vastness of inner emotional landscapes. With …

*200 copies limited edition* Exactly two years after “They Cast No Shadows” comes “Tertium Quid”, third CD from the LHAM project headed by Bruno De Angelis (Mana ERG) and Giuseppe Verticchio (Nimh) which once again leads the listener through complex and enthralling instrumental sound textures. The richness of the album’s arrangements and the sophistication of its harmonies are striking, alternating between calm stillness, quasi orchestral crescendos, fragments of darkness and restlessness follow…

* Limited edition of 200 copies.* Simon Balestrazzi’s new effort make use of a rather sparse instrumentation. The prepared strings of a battered Ukrainian tsymbaly (a percussion-stringed instrument similar to the hammered dulcimer) are excited with an eBow and only occasionally struck. Also they are processed in real time through a ring modulator, a digital spectral delay and a looper, stretching the sonic possibilities in an unnatural way. This iridescent mass, sometimes rich in abrasive clatte…

*200 copies limited edition* The road does not end: it abandons us, and in its abandonment it invites us to pause, listen, and wander within what cannot be possessed, only perceived. "The Dead End Road" is a journey along a road that leads nowhere, immersed in dark and suspended atmospheres - a path that leaves us alone with our listening. Through field recordings and electroacoustic textures, sounds emerge, dissolve, and recombine in restless spaces, between memory and presence. Each track is a…

*200 copies limited edition* The series of double albums by Gianluca Becuzzi for St.An.Da/Silentes, which began in 2020 with "In Between", continues. Like its predecessors, "American Requiem" combines drone guitar with sacred themes, creating compositions with a dark and captivating mood. This time, the theme of faith and death in the land of capitalist materialism par excellence, the United States, is placed at the centre of the work, with the use of a mix of traditional country-blues and avant…

In an incredible stroke of luck, the Silentes sub-imprint, 13, returns with a long-awaited, expanded reissue of one of their most beloved and sought-after releases, Gigi Masin's incredible "Plays Venezia". An homage to the city that he calls home, issued in three beautiful editions - vinyl, CD and Cassette - these rippling sheets of piano and ambience, threaded by diverse sonorous sources, encounter the legendary Italian minimalist at his absolute, setting the stage for what is easily one of the…

100 copies limited release Sound trails, minimal structures built with pads, discreet electronic elements, slow, deep and enveloping bass lines, backgrounds of confused voices treated in reverse, circular movements alternating with liquid stasis and quiet... Creaks on layered sound substrates of indecipherable nature, which seem to emerge from a thick blanket of fog that reveals fragments of real landscapes here and there, ready to disappear from view again after a few moments, once more hidden …

*100 copies limited release* Winding through cavernous and dark meanders, amid gurgling water, rustling sounds, low and deep pulsations, incisive and impactful sound masses, floating waves, crystalline drips, sudden rays of light, electronic spirals, and unexpected openings onto almost soothing soundscapes and quiet environmental stasis, Rod Modell paints musical textures that are apparently abstract and contemplative, but in reality charged with pathos and drama, taking advantage of a spectacul…

Simon Balestrazzi's new solo effort calls for the ear to linger on things shrouded in fog, sounds meandering between vision and reality. Highlighted by the mysterious shots by Adriano Zanni you can now enter an awkward soundworld where nothing can be traced anymore. "Scomparire", to disappear, Vanishing. Pretending to vanish in a thick fog, never to be found again. The detachment from one’s identity. Leaving behind the constant paranoia of what is real and what is not. Leaving behind everything:…

*200 copies limited edition* "Desert Smell", a precious collaborative album by Fabio Orsi and Massimo Amato, is fundamentally centred on suffused and dreamy ambient atmospheres, with inserts of ethereal female voice, suspended notes of reverberated piano, echoes in reverse, breaths of synthetic woodwinds, floating and enveloping pads, fragments of abstract sounds, sequencer phrases sometimes kept soberly in the background, and sometimes reminding of cosmic memories brought more energetically to …

The London based singer and keyboard player Dominic Appleton, known since the early eighties for his musical activity in the post punk/dream pop band Breathless, and perhaps even more for his vocal contributions to the legendary This Mortal Coil project on 4AD, joins forces with the Milanese producer and sound artist Matteo Uggeri, active from 1993 behind several projects spanning from industrial to post-rock and ambient soundscapes, known for collaborating with artists such as Maurizio Bianchi,…

"This is another perfect Nimh album, a world of magnetic, somnanbulic, fuzzing, moving electronic textures and drones covered by glacially melancholic guitar parts. These recent years there have been many descent projects published under the dark ambient - prog electronic label, but The Unkept Secrets is exceptional, reaching a degree of composition and complexity rarely obtained in this specific genre. Meridians opens the album with an intimate, colourful, extatic droning minimalist guitar comp…
