*250 copies limited edition* At low tide boats near the shore are no longer carried by the water but rest aground. Only after high tide recurs do they function in the way they are intended to. Boats may touch ground while approaching the shore at unknown depths. This is something to be avoided in order to keep the boat sound and safe. A boat moving towards the shore where the ground comes nearer and nearer was the image for me at the time of writing the score. It became the title of the piece – …

Berlin-based Dutch-Italian composer and musician Aimée Portioli aka Grand River presents the new album Temporary, returning to the renowned Editions Mego label with her most expansive and focused LP yet. Rooted in existential ideas of impermanence and flux, Temporary is a deeply emotive work centred on the rich interplay between resonant guitar work and innovative electronics. Written in the wake of profound personal grief and loss, the album sees Portioli infuse her music with a raw, expressive…

*200 copies limited eidtion* Boston based The Pandora Consort, a dynamic force in early music, is excited to release a 16-work album of their sought-after concert program, Hildegard Reanimated: Vision in Vision (Hildegard Von Bingen) with a dedicated performance recorded in the stunning acoustic Sanctuary space at Epsilon Spires in Brattleboro, Vermont. The release is a collaborative effort of Sedimental, The Pandora Consort and Epsilon Spires with In-Situ Polyculture Commons who sponsored the p…

*200 copies limited edition* Wolfe's debut solo LP documents the personal and distinct sound and approach equally to both her abstract sonic instrumental meditations and her understated and haunting song craft and guitar playing. The release, to be experienced as a whole, melds the deeply personal and the cosmically timeless in a complete and holistic way. Amber Wolfe is best known as one half of Zizia (w/ Jarrod Fowler) including their collaboration Pisaura with Michael Pisaro-Liu released on S…

Window into the performance of someone else’s hands, traced and cut up in pieces, computer-aidedrecomposition into never-ending patterns, hocketed between worn keys and machines, the spacesounding in answer. I’m wondering what the Alps above the Val d’Anniviers are up to, moving when noone’s looking, approaching and receding, their parallax caught by melody, valley bells sing in antiphony,transmitting their beautiful view. Arranged into four parts, Sion Transcriptions’ skips, splices, and dances…

“This album resulted (like many things) from experimentation, and actually from composing etudes formyself to practice justly-tuned chords. From that starting point I began to think about space, not justspace like the silence around sound events, but also the hollow, resonant spaces in my sinuses andmouth, and the space where the sounds were recorded, or the space where the sounds were listened to.I wanted to show the many colors of the sounds, even the hidden ones, like Pauline Oliveros who sai…

This is a set of improvised studies made on the Clavemusicum Omnituonum, a harpsichord designed in1606 by Trasunto with 31 keys per octave. With this 2016 copy made by Markus Krebs for Studio31(Basel), I let the music unfold out of the gestures the hands were able to make thanks to the newpossibilities - and obstacles - created by such a keyboard. As a classically trained harpsichordist, Irelished the opportunity to fully embrace the oblique angles opened up by the keyboard’s disorientinglayout,…

Recorded in rural eastern Washington State, Walk in Praise of All Metals reflects the raw expanses of the‘Channel Scablands’, a region which gladly bares the scars of ancient volcanism, ice age floods, &hydroelectric power. Like the landscape—born of cataclysm, yet steady in its austerity, the music speaksthrough sustained resonance and momentary intersections. Structure emerges through sharedharmonics, with passages from Matt Sargent’s re-tuned guitar (13-Limit just intonation) activatingsympat…

The Great Liberation Through Hearing (1995) is scored for amplified, just-tuned string quartet and digitallytransformed human voice. Generated from a phonetic analysis of the names of Buddhist deities describedin The Tibetan Book of the Dead, the piece explores connections between Eastern mantric science andWestern linguistic structuralism. It brings together the compositional linguistics of Kenneth Gaburo andthe intonational theories of Harry Partch through two simultaneous mappings of the anal…

Inner Channel lands on Indefinite Boundary with the surrealist Patterns EP – an immersive tour of polyrhythms, fourth-world analog synthesis and wasteland jazz processed through an unfiltered view of reality. Patterns builds on and expands from Inner Channel’s debut release Culture On Wind, released in 2024 on Diskotopia, with more nuanced instrumentation, hypnagogic production and monistic lyrical avenues. Cutting a salient path from the winding intersections of no-wave, dub, and outer-dimensio…

On Today’s Special, Hanne Lippard and Renato Grieco turn speech into score and accompaniment into acoustic typography. Reduced, exacting compositions for voice, viola da gamba, piano and Wurlitzer shadow the rhythm and contour of language, transforming wordplay, online debris and intimate anecdotes into a dryly comic, strangely moving suite of musical rhetoric.

On Live at the KiMo Theater Albuquerque 1979, Cecil Taylor leads a newly reconfigured Unit through a rare Western American performance of volatile grace and immense detail. Piano, alto saxophone, violin, bass, cello and multi-instrumental percussion form a shifting, luminous organism - less gladiatorial than Taylor’s 1978 bands, but no less radical in its freedom.

Body/Head's Bill Nace on taishogoto and Purling Hiss' Mike Polizze on guitar in their first duo set, caught on a phone at Philadelphia's Pageant Soloveev in May 2025: twenty-three minutes of amplified free string playing on a one-sided LP.

A transmission from the borderlands of sound, Cold Calling on the Spirit Line brings together the singular musical world of Perzeptiverdampfkesselqualmtbesinnlich and the unmistakable voice and imagination of Edward Ka-Spel. Strange, intimate and quietly unsettling, the album unfolds like a late-night conversation with the unknown. Its songs move through fractured landscapes of dream logic, spectral electronics and shadowy atmospheres, where familiar signals become distorted and every message se…

»Memorial« grew out of Nate Wooley’s work alongside Annea Lockwood recording the Columbia River, and in particular from a visit to Kettle Falls in northern Washington, once one of the river’s great salmon fishing and meeting grounds and a place of enormous importance to the Sinixt and other Indigenous peoples of the Upper Columbia. The falls disappeared from view following the construction of the Grand Coulee Dam in 1940, submerged beneath what is now Lake Roosevelt, yet beneath the still surfac…

*100 copies limited edition* Written, recorded, mixed, and produced entirely by Bessel, Illusion of an Inland Ocean expands the worlds of Visitation (2023) and Mirror at Night (2025) into his most expansive and mysterious work to date. His recent work has received international recognition from publications including SPIN, The Big Takeover, Various Small Flames, Post-Punk, Mystic Sons, Obscure Sound, Destroy//Exist, and others, establishing him as a distinctive voice at the intersection of ambie…

A dream come true for A Colourful Storm to be releasing an early gem by Tenniscoats, a duo whose DIY spirit, boundless creativity and lust for life and collaboration has left an indelible mark. From self-releasing albums and tapes on their own Majikick imprint to meeting kindred spirits The Pastels, Bill Wells and Jad Fair in between outings for Morr Music, Chapter and Häpna, to name but a few, Tenniscoats have embodied an understated determination and optimism for over two decades. "A foghorn m…

Welcoming Tori Kudo back to A Colourful Storm with a new edition of Maher Shalal Hash Baz's Faux Départ, a document of a stateside tour that culminated in a recording session at the legendary Dub Narcotic Studio with a one-time ensemble of Greg Saunier and Chris Cohen (Deerhoof), Andrew Maxwell, McCloud Zicmuse, Arrington de Dionyso, Takashi Ueno, Saya Ueno, Naoki Otani, Akiko Hotaka, Masaaki Endo and Naoki Otani. Always spontaneous, never rehearsed. Music in and of this world, seemingly teeteri…

Aaron Dilloway returns to Dais Records with 'No Skill Comedy Mind Reading', his first full-length album since 2017, a collection of characteristically jarring, absurdist material. Marked by his signature distortions and contortions — feedback-shrouded found sounds, field recordings, and vocal improvisations — 'No Skill' collects nearly a decade of select solo work and feels distinctly in the present, a scattered product of volatility, both harsh and humorous. Few contemporary experimental artist…

To wander means to relinquish the idea of a destination—moving through sound without immediately seeking a form, allowing chance encounters, shifts, and resonances to suggest the path. It is from this gesture that "In Vago Spirito" emerges, the new album by Italian vocalist, composer and sound artist Ludovica Manzo. The record marks a new chapter in Ludovica Manzo’s ongoing exploration into the dialogue between free improvisation and composition—a path previously charted through her work with th…
