Remanens
*200 copies limited edition* The music on ‘Remanens’ is the result of a commission by Art Cinema OFF off and B.A.A.D.M to score the short silent film ‘Positano’ made by french actor and filmmaker Pierre Clémenti in 1969. The film itself is an ever-shifting series of glimpses, without much context, of a family vacation to the island Positano. The short cuts are similar to a dream or obscured, residual memories where chronology has fallen apart.
The score was reworked into album format on ‘Remane…
Interior Realms - vol. I
*Handmade textile sleeve* British composer Simon Goff interprets space, both within ourselves and the objects that surround us with Interior Realms - vol.1; a wondrous, contemplative work of electronic chamber music. The idea first came from the philosophical idea underpinning the book Interior Realms, published by Theatrum Mundi in 2021. In it, a collection of essays reflects upon architecture’s influence on the human spirit. It challenges us to think not only about music as space, but also abo…
aground
*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 – …
Nonalith
“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…
The Great Liberation Through Hearing
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…
Manara
Manara is a trio that emerged from a love of poetry, a shared interest in the musical traditions of the Middle East and poetry as political resistance. The musicians had worked together before separately – Alya and Khabat performed together in Suleimaniyah, Iraqi Kurdistan as part of the Space 21 Festival, and Alya and Pat have improvised together in several ensembles over the past decade.
Alya had arrived at a time where she was desperate to explore the performance of more poetry in her mother …
Philip Glass: Piano Etudes Versions
Few have ventured to record Philip Glass’s twenty piano etudes in their entirety. Even fewer have attempted to remix them.

Outras Flores deMúsica takes its title from another collection of keyboard works, …
Avant-Garde Organ
*2026 stock* The connection between these works is subtle. Nevertheless, there is an incessant search for a new sonic language, breaking an imposed norm of a secular legacy. The organ, an apparatus that is the sum total of wind, pipes and keys, becomes bigger with the imagination of those who operate it. It is a device that incites the audacity of its operator, rivalling the sonic potential of any modern instrument. This is my contribution: using a Portuguese organ that is over 200 years old in …

Music for New String Instruments, composed and performed by Allan Bryant. A pioneer of underground American electronic music, Bryant helped push the boundaries as a founder member of Musica Elettronica Viva alongside Alvin Curran, Frederic Rzewski, and Richard Teitelbaum. Following his departure in 1968 he continued to independently compose, record, and archive live vintage MEV sets on his own IRML imprint until his death in 2019. During a period in the early to mid 1970s, Bryant channelled his …

Almost Starlight
Almost Starlight is the extraordinary new album by Jem Finer (hurdy-gurdy) and John Matthias (violin). Produced by Jay Auborn and recorded in a Medieval Church, deep in the Devon countryside, in the Summer of 2025, the music is suffused with light, heat and the natural acoustics of the space.
The album defies categorisation; forced to pigeon hole it the nearest approximation would be ‘modern-classical’ but this ignores its myriad influences and explorations which encompass inspiration from Arvo …
Works for Organ
The album Works for Organ documents and brings to life Bernhard Lang’s engagement with this instrument – which dates back to his youth – in its most diverse forms. The musical roots lie in his own improvisational practice as part of a band, in his ongoing interest in microtonally composed music, and in his long-standing exploration of loops, a technique that can relate to various musical parameters. Furthermore, the exceptional skills of Lang’s performers and their artistic interests play a sign…
Mineralization
“The role of the composer is to act as a filter between reality and the listener, transforming real life into something different from what the listener is accustomed to,” summarizes composer Mioko Yokoyama, reflecting her personal view on her profession. She wants to show that contemporary music is not difficult or hard to listen to. In order to compose, she must first open up new realms of experience, not only through writing, but also through study and analysis. Her aim is to enable people to…
BCDeluxe
Twelve pieces for solo bass clarinet, recorded in Berlin between October 2025 and April 2026. BCDeluxe is the latest in the series of solo albums that Loveland has been quietly building over the last few years, following Mark Turner's We Raise Them To Lift Their Heads, Palle Mikkelborg's Light, and Thomas Morgan's Around You Is A Forest. One instrument, one player, nowhere to hide.
Andrew D'Angelo was raised in Seattle, where he formed the friendships with Chris Speed and Jim Black that would sh…
Bionic Environments
Bionic Environments by Qba Janicki is an illustrative sonic work in which organic matter and mechanical intelligence merge into a single, continuously evolving organism. Composed for amplified soundboard, electronics, electromechanics, extended voice, and string orchestra, the piece unfolds as a cinematic yet deeply material journey through hybrid environments suspended between biological mutation and synthetic architecture. The composition is based on controlled aleatorism and open improvisatio…
Mômo
The album Mômo comprises a collection of Adam de la Cour’s concert pieces – more specifically, his most important solo keyboard-based compositions. De la Cour draws his inspiration from languages where abrupt tonal shifts and grotesque exaggeration are simply how things function. His influences come as much from psychotronic cinema, rubber-mask practical effects, vaudeville, genre tropes, and forms of satire as from contemporary classical music. De la Cour shares a particularly close artistic pa…
A Moment Beyond
*200 copies limited edition* "A Moment Beyond" is the result of a dialogue between Gunnar Smoliansky's photographs (who passed away in 2019) and the composer and musician Danny Clay, initiated by IIKKI, between February 2026 and May 2026.
Danny Clay is a composer who often utilizes classical instruments, open forms, found objects, analog media, and digital errata in his work. He has collaborated with musicians and ensembles throughout the US, including Kronos Quartet, Eighth Blackbird, Third Coa…
Time is no line but a wound that curves
Huck Hodge, an American composer and multi-talented artist, writes, as the New York Times puts it, “harmonically fresh works […] full of splendour and thunder”. Both intellectually and immediately poetic, his music explores the many invisible connections between the most diverse artistic and philosophical traditions of East and West. His passion for learning both ancient and modern languages, his own poetic output and his original choice of texts are reflected in the interplay of colour, light a…
