**2022 stock** "The first time I heard this it took me on a total journey and it blew my head off. I couldn't believe how good it was! Concert Silence is the live duo of Matthew Cooper of Eluvium and Charles Buckingham and this album is the first of their manipulated fruits to surface. They're both into live sound manipulation, so this performance was organised and here is the mastered music. It's quite different for Infraction as the vast majority of the output on the label has been ambient but…
Vryashn
**2022 stock. Edition of 400 copies ** "Pronounced ‘Variation’, Jeremy Bible and Jason Henry’s 2008 Ambient laptop dissection of piano, water pipes, wine glasses, rain on a window and a garage lamp, is a two-part exploration of these disparate elements. Vryashn has recently been rereleased on vinyl by Infraction, after a limited CDR release by Gears of Sand Recordings in the year it was produced. Having previously recorded together for the Gruenrekorder label, as well as Bible’s own Experimedia…
An Idea And Its Map
**2022 stock. Edition of 400 copies ** Drape is an ambient duo comprised of Ryan Gracey and Spencer Williams. They have been crafting soundscapes since 2004. Their debut, 'dream words' (Gears of Sand) saw a limited CDR release in 2009. It was well received and garnered comparisons to Stars of the Lid, early 70's Tangerine Dream as well as late 80's space ambient. Their follow-up was an interesting pairing on cassette - a split w/ experimental artist Odd Nosdam. 'An Idea And Its Map' marks a refi…
Interfrequence / Osmose
This bundle includes the following albums:
Osmose (LP, 1978)Interfrequence (LP, 1980)
Diving back into the depths of their incredible catalog of vintage Ariel Kalma, Black Sweat returns with much needed represses of “Osmose” and “Interfrequence”, two of the artist’s most beloved works, that remained out of print for a number of years.Astounding hybrids of minimalism, kosmiche, electronic avant-gardism, and new age / ambient music, they’re some of the deepest and most essential musical gestures f…
Varying Degrees Of Alive
**2022 stock. Edition of 100 copies ** ‘Lantscap’ is a collaboration between Ian Hawgood and Warren Kroll (Forrest, High Tides) which mostly focuses on guitar and vocal loops processed through stomp boxes. Their work has been compared to the ‘Mirror’ releases of Andrew Chalk and Christoph Heemann. ‘Varying Degrees Of Alive’ was mastered by James Plotkin, with photography by Toshiba Watanabe, and was released on white and baby blue vinyl on the Infraction label in 2013. Their follow-up is due out…
King of Corns
**2022 stock. Edition of 100 copies ** My Home, Sinking is one of the many sound projects fronted by Venetian Enrico Coniglio, whose latest album King of Corns blends live instrumentation with field recordings and strange vocals to create a neo-classical work wherein the sum of the whole is greater than its parts. Like Baudelaire’s great book of poems, The Flowers of Evil, King of Corns seems to allude to the interplay between life and death as twin sides of the same coin. The beautiful, hauntin…
Auriemma
** 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 …
Rain Furniture
*2022 stock* "In this project, we find Matthew Cooper, moonlighting from his Eluvium dayjob, communing with Charles Buckingham on a project dubbed Concert Silence - a recording captured then released. Word had hardly spread among ambience-chasers and Eluvium-spotters before it was withdrawn, taking on a mythical Shangri La-like aspect, to be ever-pursued - spoken of with a faraway wistful look. Generally speaking these tracks work in a far more subtle way than on the album... The short opener 'W…
A Thousand Fields
** 2022 stock. Edition of 400 copies ** Questing ambient and soundscape exponents with previous form over a slew of labels—Home Normal, Taâlem, Constellation Tatsu, Databloem, dataObscura, Ephre, and Basses Frequences, for starters—commune to create a whole beyond the sum of its differently located parts. Product of a Massillon–Denver–Warsaw pact hatched by a brace of Jasons, Bryant (Infraction) of Ohio hosting Corder (offthesky) of Colorado for a meeting of spirits with Bartosz Dziadosz (Pleq) …
Let There Water Air
** 2022 stock. Edition of 200 copies ** Spencer Williams and Ryan Gracey's 2nd full length LP as Drape on Infraction. Analog orchestras and guitar notes that expand for minutes on end. The first two tracks on Let There Water Air are awash in a guitar and cello haze, rising up on 'new mountains' like the morning sun cresting over the horizon. When it gets quiet, as in with the opening of 'Interiors', it is a stark-like Cage piano piece with the sounds of the piano repair shop these tracks were r…
Black Lake
** Edition of 150 copies ** Previously issued in Poland in 2017 on the Requiem Records imprint as a CD only, "Black Lake" gets the vinyl treatment here. A pressing of 200 copies, with 150 copies on 180g black vinyl and 50 copies on gold vinyl. The sleeve will be a thick tip-on style with OBI with printed inner sleeve. Design and layout by Timothy O'Donnell. Bartosz Dziadosz may need some introduction, as although he has been extraordinarily prolific over the past 15 years, most releases have bea…
Forage / Presence
** Edition of 100 copies ** Drape's 3rd album for Infraction. This is a double vinyl & digital issue of the limited cassette release 'Forage' (Baro, 2016) on one LP, and then a new album 'Presence' on the 2nd LP. Spencer Williams and Ryan Gracey have expanded their sound with each successive release. Forage/Presence finds the duo (with contributions from Doug McDiarmid) working in an almost ethereal folk realm, using acoustic guitars, piano, woodwinds, female voices in addition to painting mini-…

Hyperincandescent
Tip! The DiN label via its founder Ian Boddy has its roots in the analogue electronica of the German Berlin School. However over the course of 100+ albums the music released on this UK based imprint have pushed far beyond this musical heritage. The electronic music scene is ever evolving and a new, younger generation of musicians involved in the burgeoning modular synth scene are untethered from the past and able to wander freely into unexplored worlds of sonic soundscaping.Just such a musician …
Reality Engine

This latest downtempo electronica solo release sees Bessell indulge his passion for literature in compositions inspired by the writings of Jorge Luis Borges, the Brothers Grimm and Lord Dunsany. The tracks are coloured with a strong flavour of magi…
An Ascent
Scanner (British musician Robin Rimbaud) has been inventively active in Electronic Music since 1991 and been involved in a bewildering range of musical activities covering sonic art, concerts, installations, recordings and dance scores. His impeccable sonic credentials have seen him work with such luminaries as Bryan Ferry, Michael Nyman & Laurie Anderson. His debut DiN solo album comes at a rather strange time for many people. The onset of a global virus has shut down much of the world around u…

Re-Recorder
*Edition of 100* This release initiates a series of propositions between Bonnetta and Hamann exploring film sound design as a relation of anecdotal music. Each side is composed of location recordings, musical fragments, foley, in-studio recordings, outtakes, and sketches gleaned from various re-recording processes. In the absence of images, these sound propositions reflect on the possibilities of a particular form of ‘aural cinema,’ of fictional spaces constructed from the reordering and recasti…
