Tornada
Assembled by Pedro Alves Sousa, Má Estrela is a conjuration of ideas and obsessions around dub, leftfield dance phenomena and the hypnotic potential of urban somnambulance.
mātr

Invisible
On Invisible, Mike Majkowski delivers a set of six immersive compositions situated at the intersection of ambient dub and textural electronica.

Live at Triton 2009
In 2009, the Triton venue (near Paris, France) was sold out to celebrate the 35th anniversary of Univers Zéro, an iconic band of the Rock In Opposition movement.

Simultaneous
Simultaneous reveals Pamela Z’s fascination with the intersection of speech and music, blending voice, electronics, chamber ensemble, and video into an immersive, multi-layered exploration. Through looping, gesture control, and narrative fragments, the piece meditates on simultaneity—how overlapping events and speech form new harmonies and meaning.
