Ephemeral
**White vinyl** Mingle keeps moving forward: right after Static and its apparent calm, Ephemeral, the brand new album, gets released. This marks Mingle's second effort on Kvitnu (part of a four-chapter series which includes Movements and Masks, both released on Tannen Records). The ingredients remain the same: an introspective and melancholic journey, winding through static minimalism, aggressive landscapes, refined harmonies and disturbing rhythms."Pure advanced psychedelic sound flow. A perfec…
Amplified Discovery
Two intense tracks from New York based noise artist, sonic multitasks master and festival organiser (the famous Ende Tymes every year in NYC, as well as working for years at Issue Project Room). Bob Bellerue creates living visceral sonic organisms with feedback and amplification in specific resonant spaces, using electronics, voices or even Supercollider, resulting in massive wild evolving and mutating drones into outbursts of noise deflagrations - a tension between hellish tellurism and multidi…
Didactic Music
**300 copies** "Experimentation and Italian library music are the coordinates in which Didactic Music is written, the second work of the solo project Mouse and Sequencers by Nicola Giunta (The Lay Llamas), published by Backwards. The Sicilian multi-instrumentalist makes a 'catalog' of genres that range among a melancholic bucolic-folk, documentary field recordings, fleeting expeditions in Space and small experiments in 'Sala Macchine', to quote Amedeo Tommasi.From the sidereal ambient music of A…

Kassettmusik
"Originally released as two private edition cassettes and then reworked for a CD release on iDEAL in 2008, Kassettmusik still stands out as one of Dan Johanssons' most confounding and bold moments. Upon its release, the extremely minimal and restrained approach on the recording took a quite unexpected turn compared to the brutish harsh noise and Killing For endeavours Sewer Election was known for at the time. Crude cassette loops of sparse electronics and body sounds with the fidelity of the dis…

Muzak Pour Ascenceurs En Panne
Uniting cosmic tones and lovely notes, unique sound collages and electronic noises, Muzak Pour Ascenseurs En Panne ("Muzak for Broken Lifts"), Brigitte Barbu’s first album, explores a dreamy universe, at the crossroads of electronica and the '70s post-tune-in/drop-out, echoing shadows of the peculiar doppelgänger; Pépé Bradock.
Stara Szkoła Ze Złota
Lincoln Sea is Robert Piotrowicz's second release in 2013 after the acclaimed When Snakeboy Is Dying. 'Snakeboy' opened windows with it's sophisticated weaving of guitar, piano and vibraphone, along with Piotrowicz's more recognisable modular synth work. Praised from the likes of Brian Olenwick (Just Outside), Massimo Ricci (Touching Extremes) 'Snakeboy' saw Piotrowicz take a confident leap into new realms of sound. With Lincoln Sea, the potential of Piotrowicz' vision is greatly expanded whilst…
Rakka
On his first new album in 5 years, Vladislav Delay renders an extreme ecology of electronic sound inspired by time spent above the arctic circle, surrounded by tundra and the raw force of nature and visually given life by Ripatti's wife, Antye Greie-Ripatti, aka AGF. It’s a killer evolution of sound, like his foundational Chain Reaction productions chopped, screwed and fed through sheets of white noise and black metal.
The Revolt of Aphrodite
**300 copies** Throwing himself into bouts of taut, fractious, and probing electronics on his sophomore LP, The Revolt of Aphrodite, Sam Wills uses the same palette as found on his White On White LP - PPG Wave, Kurzweil K250, Emulator 4 and Lexicon 224 - albeit with a finer manipulation of form. Oscillating between the Alva Noto / Anne-James Chaton-esque minimalism of All This Vulgar Data, to the cubist UKFunky rhythms in Iolanthe Dances and Dego-like broken beats in Skins Plastered With White L…
Disruptions of Form
**300 copies, orange vinyl** "After inaugurating Sferic with the Synthetic Space LP in 2017, Echium now leads the way with a remarkably refined, even meticulous grasp of sound design steering away from purely “synthetic space” to imaginary spaces that smudge the listener’s perceptions of artificial and organic texture, tone and spatial dynamics.Like the best of its contemporary field, from Vladislav Delay to Uon and Heith, the meticulous technical physics of Disruptions of Form provides the fram…
Formationen
"The A-Musik label is back with a very special release by Jan Werner who played already an important role for the beginning of the label in 1995. His first release back then was the debut LP by Microstoria, werner's collaboration with Oval's Markus Popp that became a milestone in the history of experimental electronica.
