**in process of stocking** “Puzzle Music is the desire to create images out of diverse pieces of sound. To collect timbral colours in a gradient procession and connect them until they create reason. Principally not knowing how the image will turn out, or what the picture even is. It is the act of placing sound shapes next to one another in the hope that clarity will gradually be revealed. When grouping the songs together I was thinking of them as mechanisms in a timepiece. I have something of an…
*296 copies limited edition* dp's two 2018 vinyl releases collected on one cd, with bonus track. politically charged, hyperreal and unremitting soundscapes containing harsh social and self-criticism clad in a sense of impending doom spiced with an energizing optimism and informed by faith in the humanimal. a poignant reminder of humanity's position on this planet, the tension on this album is expressed solely through sound and 'lyrics' (as opposed to the extensive liner-notes that accompanied 'r…
*300 copies limited edition* I turned on the radio and it was tuned to five hundred twenty eight Hz. Love hurts, said the DJ. He was a bit of a dick but I lingered with it. Experts have confirmed that the love frequency can increase cell viability by twenty per cent, he said. Experts have confirmed that it can decrease the toxic effects of ethanol by a percentage that may be unfathomable. To this I raised a glass of ethanol. Five two eight is the key to all mythologies, said the DJ. It’s the rea…

Cloud Holding is NYC-based Bryce Hackford’s fifth full-length work, and his first with Futura Resistenza. Seven figures emerge out of recorded improvisations with a group of musicians: Ka Baird, Shelley Burgon, Alice Cohen, Michael Hurder, Dominika Mazurová, Camilla Padgitt-Coles. The instrumental utterances (including the original instrument—the voice) of these varied talents are gently treated and coaxed by the composer, nudged into little sculptures of sound which express an always drifting …
'Bergur’s first solo album. Composed, developed, and recorded between the winter of 2019 and the winter of 2020; between Lithuania, Iceland, The Netherlands; in the field and in the studio; with the help of friends. For instance, with the Singing Club of Rotterdam — of which Bergur is one of the co-founders, members, and organizers — which runs as a bi- monthly-meeting, informal-group-of-people interested in the potentialities of voice and choral sound. The Singing Club appear in Night Time Tran…
New Noveta, the performance art group led by Keira Fox and Ellen Freed, has been described as ‘nothing if not new’ by Artsy and purveyors of ‘catastrophic distress’ by Mousse. Theirs is a project utilising all sensory, elaborately choreographed and costumed fourth-wall breaking performance art and sound, conveying contemporary hysteria: ‘intent on reproaching attitudes that otherwise pathologize ‘difference as illness’.’ (Frieze)This release documents the group’s five years of artistic collabora…
Francesco Serra (born 1980) is an Italian guitarist from Cagliari who lives and works in Bologna. His music research focuses on performance practices aimed at expanding the timbre qualities of the electric guitar, emphasising the evocative potential of sound and exploring possible contaminations among sound, space and image. He started recording solo under the name Trees of Mint in 2008, progressively deconstructing, in the span of three albums, his initial approach to song structure through sou…
"Having witnessed with awe his sagacious feline-managerial skills with music and musical psyches of many a stripe (including *cough* my own), I was certain that Andy McAuley was the right person to orchestrally illuminate my semi-inchoate ego-laced narrative. Zooming in and out of rainbow-hued classical fractal frequencies like an electronic-inculcated dervish and weaving keyboard themes (one composed by Saichairí McAuley), Udu-fronted percussion and vibraphone from the Terpsichorean Martin Pyne…
"Emerging from Lower Franconia's hidden reverse, Johannes Schebler, known as ambient-poltergeist "Baldruin" and surreal folklorists Christian Schoppik & Katie Rich of "Brannten Schnüre"-fame have puzzled and amazed outernational audiences from the stranger end of the avant/lo-fi spectrum in recent years. The trio is now collectively dreaming as "Freundliche Kreisel", reaching for terra incognita rather than common ground on their most bewildering and accessible outing to date. Arch-pontifices of…
New Forces is proud to present the Domaine Poétique discography boxset. Domaine Poétique was the mail collaboration between Jeph Jerman (Hands To) and John Hudak, two of the most prominent artist to emerge from the 1980's "cassette culture" underground. Alongside artist like The Haters and Merzbow, they helped carved out a space for experimental sound while constructing the networks through which those sounds would circulate. Domaine Poétique released seven cassettes from 1987-1989, most of whi…
Lucy Liyou’s music carries with it deeply personal poetry, in a literal and metaphorical sense, conveyed using sound collage, noise, field recordings, and abstracted pop tendencies. When Notice first heard Lucy’s music, we were struck by its incredible honesty, vulnerability, and originality. For her first collaboration, A Need/A Want, she is joined by Philadelphia-based guitarist and lyricist Yska. Bizarre shards of Yska's electric guitar permeate Lucy’s deft and supple production techniques as…

** Edition of 50 copies ** The duality of what Joe LiTrenta & Miki Kizh have created with 'Auriemma' is revealed with the first as well as the 100th listen. 'Auriemma' is undeniably influenced by the passing of 2 brothers who were close to the artists. Rob & Aidan died in separate accidents a few weeks from one another. So the result is a somber, haunted recording but it somehow retains some optimism throughout each of its sprawling tracks. Chords appear out of the air, and then expand for what …

*Edition of 70* Oh! Uomo (Part I) “What I love are not the pieces, but the repetitions, the protractions; to proceed slowly on my way, to come back, back to the same thing, being a litany, litany as life, to stay long there before ending, not willing to make music of a man – and above all of a composer, and and above all of a westerner – but rather music of a sparrow, a quite indecisive sparrow perched on a branch, a sparrow trying to call a man…” (H.Michaux) "Oh! Uomo (Part I)" is a composition…
