Silentes Sale

**200 copies** "Like The Snow delivers his first work after five years of research and experimentation. The project comes to life collecting a series of tracks that travel through electronic and ambient music in a dark sound world... At times almost danceable, absorbing the influences of the beloved synths of the '80s, reinterpreting in his own peculiar way the moods accumulated over time. For lovers of the most classic New Wave, Clan of Xymox and Neon... A project to discover and support."

A single, long, deeply moving, slow and expanded drone-track, built on everchanging sonic masses, low frequencies, strong electric/electronic sounds, field recordings, feedbacks, buzzes, hisses, rough distortions, sunken organ chords, subdued inserts of strings orchestral parts. Alternation of progressive crescendos, ambiental stasis, sudden, dramatic and catching dynamic shocks... An involving and extraordinary "trip" across an obscure sonic path, convincingly assembled in collaborative form by…

This is the final chapter for this project run by Gianluca Becuzzi - well known for his old dark wave project Limvo but also for his solo works and collaborations with Fabio Orsi. Final Archives is a sort of collection of rare tracks recorded from 1999 to 2006 totally reworked and remastered in 2009. Absolute Grey is the title that Kinetix gave to his graphic artwork selection exhibited with an ambient score specifically composed for the exposition space. The exhibition is made up of ten grey sc…

**200 copies** Another gem by Fabio Orsi to launch the new decade in the best possible way. A long journey of over one hour that aptly summarizes the whole sound world that Fabio has created during the years. Ambient textures and long electronic excursions permeates these timeless tracks in the best tradition of the Italian ambient master.

*200 copies limited edition* The early Eighties in France and the UK: the Post-Punk, Dark and Cold Wave scenes broke onto the music world. Usher San in Dijon, France was starting his career with Coït Bergman, Metal Radiant and as Anthon Shield and DZ Lectric.... and then Norma Loy… and later Die Puppe, Black Egg and even Pagan Ring... He is one of the leading figures of what would become known as coldwave south of the English Channel. Martin Bowes and Julia Waller were starting on their musical …

A series of electroacoustic/acousmatic perfomances by TeZ (known for his collaboration with CLOCK DVA and the works on 13/Silentes with Fabio Orsi), based on live processing of acoustic sounds and field recordings. The improvisation with hybrid DIY and traditional folk/ethnic instruments, environmental recordings and archive audio clips is expanded through a series of generative filters, delays, pitch shifters and harmonisers, orchestrated in ever changing feedback loops. The result is an unpred…

This is an unreleased and “lost” new album by Deison and Mingle conceived in 2014 /15 right after the recording and the release of their debut collaboration-album "Everything Collapse[d]". After the passing of Andrea Gastaldello (“Mingle”) in 2021 and founding these forgotten tracks led us to think that this work should have been listened to understand the essence of the original album. Published by a co-production of three label who have released various works by the duo in the past (Loud!, Fin…

*250 copies limited edition* Stefano Gentile and Dirk Serries met almost thirty years ago when Stefano’s Amplexus label released Vidna Obmana’s seminal classic "The Transcending Quest" on a limited 3” CD. Fast forward twenty years later, after the ending of Dirk Serries’ critically acclaimed Vidna Obmana project, Stefano and Dirk, under his own name, regathered with another gem "The Devastation Chant", a limited 8” lathe cut and a 10” vinyl on Gentile’s new label Silentes/13 that featured Stefan…

If during the early years of his long and prolific artistic activity, Fabio Orsi made extensive use of acoustic and concrete sound sources in his music, often painting very 'earthly' environmental realms, more recently he has definitively 'taken off', abandoning the earth to search for scenarios made of a purely synthetic matrix, building a myriad of dense electronic textures and pulsations, projected into the infinite and unexplored spaces of the universe. This double CD collects a series of "s…

*200 copies limited edition* In its apparent bare simplicity, “Fade, Remain” is Iluiteq's most uncompromising and intimate album to date. Delving into the universal human condition of experiencing a loss and coping with a new phase of life, Iluiteq have released a new collaborative album, co-written with renowned Italian producer and musician Eraldo Bernocchi. The album juxtaposes the condition of “fading”, meant as leaving or departing, with the notion of “remaining”, either physically or spiri…

*300 copies limited edition* Describing his ideas behind "F(our) Ward", Edley ODowd notices that the combination of sound and visuals were “essential to delivering a message”- points out Edley talking about his foray into new territory. “I wanted to create something of nightmares and bliss” explains EdleyODowd when asked to discuss the combination of visuals and sound presented on his latest solo release "F(our) Ward". ODowd, a long-time veteran of various musical scenes, has collaborated and pe…

"Due scritti imperfetti" contains three compositions meticulously put together by Giancarlo Toniutti, Deison and Massimo Toniutti. The location chosen for this collaboration was primarily the recording studio in Udine where, in a two-year timespan, the authors met to discuss, compose, record, trim, listening back, sifting out sounds and adapting their electro-acoustic mixtures.The music or rather 'musics' that emerged during this progress, represent different versions of ongoing experiments, a w…

*200 copies limited edition* This compelling new compilation CD encapsulates a unique period of sonic exploration by Pragma, one of the many visionary projects of sound artist TeZ. This archive brings together 11 immersive tracks created between 2018 and 2020, capturing the essence of Pragma’s distinctive sound.The collection features six previously unreleased compositions alongside five tracks originally published on compilations by and courtesy of the esteemed Silent Records label. These recor…

In these early Pragma works, sound artist TeZ channels a primal industrial and electronic spirit, blending cosmic and concrete sonic elements to guide the listener through alien, pagan landscapes marked by entropic rhythms and magical atmospheres. For the third edition of this lathe-cut release, TeZ invited Sumus (formerly Psychick Warriors of Gaia) to contribute their masterfully fragmented collages of acoustic wonders, adding a unique dimension to the work.

* Edition of 200 * After "September Winds", Giuseppe Verticchio/Nimh and Daniela Gherardi are back as Twist of Fate with their newest offering entitled "Where the Dusk has no End". Sounds and atmospheres constantly bordering shadows and light, in a sort of infinite twilight where thin rays of sun violate the looming darkness, drawing landscapes with fragile and indefinite contours, sound watercolours swaying through Ambient, Shoegaze and 'drumless Post Rock', alternating atmospheres - now darker…

*200 copies limited edition* "I Know Your Voice, but It’s Hard to Find in the Crowd" is a concept album centered on the use of the voice. What shape does the voice take when conveying an emotion? The compositions in this work are made up almost exclusively of voices—an extensive spectrum of voices that sing, speak, whisper, processed through Auto-Tune, or emerge from WhatsApp messages, VSTs, analog and digital keyboards from the ’80s and ’90s, field recordings, and samples from films, TV, and Yo…

*200 copies limited edition* Continuing the luminous path forged by his previous CD, “The Visions of a Dream Traveller”, Like the Snow returns to paint vast cinematic soundscapes that breathe with emotional depth, shifting seamlessly between disruptive, majestic crescendos with thunderous orchestral impact and more introspective passages of nocturnal intimacy. These darker, at times brooding atmospheres are delicately pierced by fleeting luminescent textures, gradually dissolving into serene amb…

In ‘Punti d'Incontro’ the sound is fragmented and broken up, just like splinters or bits of broken glass, into infinite pieces. Through the stages of duets and trios, Eugenio Sanna, Lucio Bonaldo and Michele Scariot give life to buzzings, high-pitched sounds, like pinheads looking at and observing each other with caution, forming strange, gelatinous agglomerates; bewildered melodies that are swallowed up through a visionary plot and enter, swallowed up, into the gaps of an infinite space, in a r…

*200 copies limited edition* "Ever Expanding" unfolds like a fissure in the continuity of the real. Each sonic fragment carries the memory of an archaic gesture, while also heralding a form yet to come. Nothing asserts itself, yet everything emerges with the gentle force of an apparition—unstable configurations that breathe in the space between the familiar and the elusive. The pieces overlap without collision: each remains distinct, yet surfaces within a shared field. What arises is a multiplic…

1996 release ** CD in a card sleeve held in an A5 wraparound card folder. "Quest is the project of Frans De Waard (member of Kapotte Muziek and Beequeen). Quest started as a solo project of Frans and was initially called QST, influenced by Pete Namlook and the output of the FAX label."

2010 release  ** "Five superb tracks of deep and evocative ambient music, enriched with echoes of ancient ritual suggestions. The immense spaces and the abyssal deepness of the sea, but also the sound of the bowels of the Earth, the colour of the sand of the desert, the energy of the wind, the strenght of all the Elements, the infinite cycle of day and night, of life and death… A long circular journey through interchanging atmospheres that shake and capture, dragging with energy, then leave room…

2011 release  ** "Enrico Coniglio's four tracks on Dialogue One don't differ radically in style from those on I, though the former are in spots perhaps louder and more texturally wide-ranging. Next to no details are provided about sound sources (save for a thanks to Rachele for lending her voice to “Calls of the White”) so once again impressions must be based on listening, pure and simple. One of the recording's most attractive aspects is the contrast between Coniglio's four tracks (all of which…

2011 release ** "Extreme and uncompromising electronic stimulations, vibrations and synthetic pulsations floating off, disturbing buzzes and algorithmic waves in expansion, fragmented and deconstructed Synthetic Chaos... But also hints of hypnotic unfinished musical sketches, clips of embryonic melodic sequences, fragments of human voices, oscillating electronic pads, distorsions, improbable synthetic clones of nature sounds and noises... An intransigent work of disturbing and destabilizing elec…

2011 release ** "Frail and delicate ambient atmospheres, clusters of rarefied piano notes lying on discreet drones, soft and evanescent clarinet riffs, suggesting and catching natural sounds... Light and ethereal pastel-coloured musical plots... Eight tracks, one hour of suspended and quiet sonic passages, flowing like discreet background, or to listen/see in a passionate mood, dreaming in silence, lying in gloom... Wonderful ambient stuff from these two Russian artists in the same vein of some …

2011 release ** "A collection of fascinating and obscure "nocturnal sessions” alternated with more "classic" electronic parts based on sequencers and synthesizers, more abstract and minimal sonic sketches, involving and tense deep drones musical mixtures, distorted and dilated electric guitars, deformed human voices, more static and fluctuating typical ambient movements, cold inserts of pulsating and "techno oriented" sounds, suggestive atmospheres built on bizarre loops, flat organ backgrounds …

2001 release ** "Kozo Ikeno is a trumpet and electronics player from Japan. He creates experimental jazz, abstract break beats and field recordings. He is out now with this new album produced in Italy by Braxtone Records. It is a real must for experimental music connoisseurs!!! All compositions by Kozo Ikeno, composed and recorded in 2001"

*200 copies limited edition* After a careful evaluation of numerous international proposals, Landscape 2024 announces the official selection of the ten finalist works in the SoundArt category. Curated by the Zeugma Collective and now in its fourth edition, the project has established itself as a reference point for sound artists and video artists exploring the concept of landscape through sound and image. This year's selection stands out for its diversity, featuring works ranging from experiment…

*200 copies limited edition* A 'monolithic' experiment in extremely minimal non-music constructed in two long parts. If the first part is dominated by a background based on a single sound rich in harmonics that oscillates on its own wave-like vibrations, resting on a substrate of what can be at the same time a synthetic pink noise or the real 'capture' of a natural quasi-silence, in the second part a few sounds of a more overtly electric/electronic matrix, a tangle of faint high-pitched looped e…

*200 copies limited edition* "Notturni", Germinal's second album, deepens and pays tribute to more distinctly dark ambient influences while maintaining a firm focus on compositional minimalism. Forgotten loops and samples, buried melodies, rattling refractions and mysterious litanies delineate misty country settings and dreamy urban situations, which can be traced back to a minimum denominator: nocturnal landscaping.

*300 copies limited edition CD in 6-panel digisleeve* Almost 40 years after its first release in 1986, and just three months after the release of "Arctic Salon", their latest double LP, Cranioclast's second album is finally available on CD for the first time in a limited edition completely restored and remastered by Andrea Marutti. When the whole Cranioclast discography is considered, "Kolik San Art" is probably their album that hosts the most 'guest' musicians and offers the greatest blending o…

Tip! Dark Ambient with unearthly and ghostly melodies + unidentified sound sources. “The Innermost Legacy” is an expanded and completely remastered new press of Amon’s 1999 CD album “The Legacy”. Coming as a double CD set with improved graphics, it also includes “Live Report”, a selection of unreleased tracks recorded during various Amon concerts in the late ’90s, which are presented in a continuous mix."I am glad to see “The Legacy”, Amon’s third CD album, re-released after almost twenty years …

Unlike the distant "18/8/81" or the more recent "Wrong Ninna Nanna", this new solo work contains no piano or other instrumental parts. In this release, which occurred like all truly welcome things in an unexpected and unsought way, I have collected some of my own compositions created only from sound material recorded around or taken from other recorded music. Such material has been mutated with various sound processings, and assembled by multiplying layers in both digital and analog environments…

The story of a family of hoteliers active since the 1960s on the Versilia Riviera, the renowned Tuscan seaside area, becomes the occasion for the compilation by the music critic and cultural agitator Vittore Baroni of an anthology of "Music for Hotels", a theme curiously ignored by international discography. A large group of musicians active in a variety of genres and styles have been asked to create a soundtrack for the different zones of the Hotel Acapulco in Forte dei Marmi - portrayed in the…

*200 copies limited edition* With the present "TO/OT", the duo comprising Orsi and TeZ (Clock Dva) continue in a straight line along the 'furrow' already traced with the previous "OT/TO", inverting the 'position' of the roles in the control room compared to it. Electronic patterns and programmed rhythmic parts make up these load-bearing plots that describe a synthetic universe adjacent to the one traversed by the first cosmic couriers, where filters emphasise the progressions, and soft and evoca…

*300 copies limited edition* Welcome to the third chapter of an enthralling musical journey led by Fabio Orsi and Maurizio Martinucci (aka TeZ), spanning across three albums. The adventure began in 2022 with the CD "OT/TO", followed by "TO/OT" the following year. In this latest release, a mesmerizing blend of sounds and emotions unfolds, drawing inspiration from a diverse array of elements. With a predominant vintage imprint, the album evokes echoes of electronic music from the '70s to the '90s,…

Bomb! 300 copies, black 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 definitive Doubling Riders box set with a load of previously unreleased material is finally here. Complete discography, remastered from the original tapes. 6 x CD boxset includes 1 disc of previously unreleased material, plus 24-page booklet of liner notes and never-before-seen photographs.** From its earliest days, Italian avant-garde and experimental music has always been a fascinating world of intersecting lines, unexpected meetings, and networks of conversation and collaboration. This …

In 1985, Andrea Azzali and Simon Balestrazzi remained the only members of Tomografia Assiale Computerizzata (T.A.C.). They decided to reconfigure their work around tape manipulation. The two were recording in a studio in Florence and in an intense week, they realized Symphonie Industrielle. With the emergence of this new formation, however, T.A.C. dedicated itself to new projects and live performances, and the album was actually abandoned. Miraculously, the tapes have been recovered, and the res…
