De Reditu Suo
In this sonic journey, the cello gets lost and finds itself again within the folds of electronics—like an ancient soul echoing through the chaos of the present. Inspired by the words of Rutilius Namatianus in De Reditu Suo, this work unfolds as a pilgrimage between past and present, between whispered voices and archaic melodies that dissolve and reassemble in the reverberation of primordial frequencies.
Distorted Gregorian chants, deep drones, and fragments of lost voices intertwine to form a so…
Libelocus-(alpha), Libelocus-(beta), Libelocus-(gamma)
Big tip! Romanian composer, conductor, and musicologist Iancu Dumitrescu is often described as one of the leading figures of spectral music, yet he has produced a body of powerful works resonating with explosive sound and friction that places him very much in his own universe. Dumitrescu studied under his compatriot, the conductor Sergiu Celibidache, who rarely left behind concert recordings. From him Dumitrescu absorbed phenomenology and conducting techniques, incorporating them into his own co…

This release represents dualistic concept: could be seen as double EP over two side of vinyl and it also has double cover as well as two editions: normal black…
Ashes
Davor Vincze is a composer of contemporary music who immerses himself in phenomena and experiences and conveys them musically through a powerful narrativity. Whether it is technology in his use of machine learning, or philosophy, mathematics, or the experience of visiting a Taoist temple or a gallery, Vincze hears music and searches for hidden acoustic spaces. The six compositions featured on Ashes unmistakably convey (and confirm) the composer’s aesthetic and expression, his identifying signatu…
Oceanine
Oceanine, Jolanda Moletta’s third album and her first for Beacon Sound, is a powerful and ethereal statement of artistic community. Expanding on her previous work, each track represents a collaboration with a different female vocalist, with the foundational elements being generated entirely by her own voice. By turns haunting, enchanting, and inspiring, you won’t want to come up for air once you’ve been pulled under. Representing a
musical practice that is distinctly feminist, this is an album w…
