Hybr:id II
HYbr:ID Vol. 2 is the second installment of Alva Noto’s HYbr:ID series initiated in 2021. The new album captures the music commissioned to score Richard Siegal’s Ectopia performed in 2021 by Tanztheater Pina Bausch with Shooting into the Corner (2008-09) by Anish Kapoor.

Welsh Noise Volume II
Welsh Noise Vol. II is a collaboration between Megzbow and Vinegar Tom, constructed primarily from field recordings taken in Pembrokeshire during the summers of 2021 and 2022. Fragments of additional audio are lifted from the film work of Margaret Tait. Sounds are processed, stretched and sequenced across nine tracks of droning collage which draw upon the internal rhythms of country life. The yearning growls of Ronnie the cat commingle with the sounds of cowmen at work, crackling log fires, DIY …
Visceral Underskinnings
Hastings of Malawi are Heman Pathak, David Hodes and John Grieve. They recorded the album in one night in 1981 with no plan and no idea of what they were doing. They played drums, clarinet, synthesiser and piano but also made use of things that they found lying around the studio – old records, cookery books, telephone directories and a telephone. The recordings were played down the phone to randomly dialled numbers and the reactions added to the recording. All three had been involved in the reco…
Disincarnazione
"Disincarnazione" is a religious term that refers to the loss of one's bodily nature, attaining an incorporeal state of being. This work goes in the opposite direction, analyzing a range of sounds produced by the human body, focusing on its aggressive nature, searching for links with the primitive animalistic structures within. All the tracks are composed using various breathing techniques combined with close microphone recordings in order to recreate a raw sound effect based exclusively on ampl…
Upics
The pieces combined here have emerged as an outcome of my research into database-driven reconstructions based on sound analysis. All the source material has been created with the UPIC system (Iannis Xenakis) a graphical computer system where users draw shapes, waveforms, and modulations on ‘pages’ that form a composition or composed sound.
The material was recorded between September 2006 and March 2007 at the CCMIX institute in Paris. None of those recordings ever made it to a completed work unt…

a path with a name
Atte Elias Kantonen is a composer and sound designer based in Helsinki, Finland. “a path with a name” follows well-received releases on Mappa and Active Listeners Club, and finds Kantonen expanding the scope of his dynamic and idiosyncratic practice. Here, he places his listeners within an auditive diorama, affording them myriad views of the microscopic landscapes contained there within. An oneiric narrative is established from the opening track, in which a heavily treated voice proposes a dialo…

Musique Actuelle 1990
*2023 stock* 'This rare live appearance of the reclusive Biota collective was recorded in 1990 at Montreal Musiques Actuelles in Quebec, Canada. Although the performance has its moments, overall it serves as a reminder that Biota, at their best, were and are a studio creation that owe much of their magic to the electro-acoustic alchemy of founding members Mark Derbyshire and especially William Sharp. The group makes a valiant attempt to capture the dense, disorienting studio processing in the li…

Gymnasieåren
Tip! Debut album from 18-year old Discreet Music hangaround Andre. Home recorded brilliance mainly based on guitar and occasional synthesizers with a sparse use of environmental recordings. The A-side was recorded in September and October 2022 and is a majestic collage of introspective bummed out music with gloomy drones and almost sacral-sounding segments, in atmosphere close to some of the more melancholic chunks of the past FFFM discography. Recorded in December the same year, the flipside is…
