Arrhythmian
For their fifth collaboration Marc Barreca and Kerry Leimer set aside their more abstract creative approaches to composition in favor of basing the music of Arrhythmian on beats. Using rhythm as texture, the tracks gravitate to concussive and bass voices, high bpm rates, and constantly evolving timbres shaped by granular synthesis, sampling, heavy processing, audio manipulation, rich distortion, with the maximum dynamic range vinyl can offer. “We’re always thinking about sound quality, about wha…
Orphée Aux Enfers
*2024 stock* Orphée Aux Enfers is a comic operetta and satirical treatment of the ancient Greek myth of Orpheus by French composer Jacques Offenbach. The classic story of Orpheus concerns a renowned musician who is so distraught over the death of his wife, Eurydice, that he attempts to rescue her from the Underworld, the place of the dead. It’s a myth of enduring love between Orpheus and Eurydice that has inspired artists, writers and composers such as Günter Schlienz.

How To Be Yourself
Enrico Cesaro, the person behind the alias Mace., is back releasing his brand new work in collaboration with viscm and angoisse. "How to be Yourself” is an ode to the ever-changing, untouchable unfolding of the self and the elusive observation of it.
The ensemble of tracks shapes a canvas of individual experiences, family memories and collective uncoscious that suggests - both by blending together and maintaining their own singular character - the hurdle of grasping totality. Unexpected contras…
Like A Gun
Following work with poet Lucy Van (Figures, Purely Physical 2017) and a string of highly alluring sound parcels via her Careful podcast series, the Melbourne-London based producer, DJ, curator, and performer presents two solo pieces of ambience and deftly arranged instrument-voice interplay.
A space is found within a mix of DIY instrumentation, science fiction rumination and the melancholic exotica of possible pasts. The eponymous opener, ‘Like a Gun’ pushes and pulls between a place of pure da…

Tropical Church
I was waiting for the bus to arrive at the stop when the rain started pouring. I quickly escaped into a chapel nearby, and that’s where the idea of this album came to be. Inside the chapel, I was reminded of the scent of Mauritius, where my father was from, and the pillars of dampen woods mixed with the ritualistic frankincense. The rain continued to hit violently on the metallic church roof as the road outside grew overwhelmed with angry drivers, honking their way through, their frustrations ec…
Black
'Black' is a musical eulogy to Amy Winehouse, a heartfelt memorial to a sorrowful demise. Its an album of predominantly beatless ambience possessed by the ghost of 'Back to Black'. Fragmented moods and hypnotic drones melt together as its circular beauty is set adrift, floating away into an endless void, where the original only remains in spirit alone. It doesn’t make particular sense why I was drawn to this idea and compelled to immerse myself in the original song, and her life in general, but …
Thousand Oceans
*100 copies limited edition* "My initial idea for this album was to create a sequel to "Above The Desert" and explore guitar drones again. I used to record guitar drones daily, but having a clear concept influenced the outcome. Listening to the recorded songs, I noticed an unexpected number of Fender-type guitars and fewer Les Pauls, my usual main instrument. I combined new guitar effects and processed the improvised material in various ways. In guitar drones, the difference between Gibson and F…
Ether Hymns
*2024 stock. 120 copies limited edition* Ether, in the literary sense, can be defined as 'the clear sky; the upper regions of air beyond the clouds.', or more informally as 'air regarded as a medium for radio'. Music, as well as the inspiration for it, are ephemeral in nature. In making this album, I often thought about the manner in which the sounds and patterns that form a piece of music are brought in to existence from nothingness. They drift into the listener's space, evolve over time, and d…
Above The Desert
*50 copies limited edition* "Our intention is to affirm this life, not to bring order out of chaos, nor to suggest improvements in creation, but simply to wake up to the very life we’re living, which is so excellent once one gets one’s mind and desires out of its way and lets it act of its own accord". - John Cage
"I recorded this album in the basement studio. I recorded the sound output from the guitar amp and the speaker. The sound seemed to be blowing. In this album I worked underground in th…
Tilwin
*150 copies limited edition* Tilwin (meaning 'colouring' in Maltese, Robert's native tongue) started being written during the summer of 2023 and was concluded on the last day of that year. The album reflects some major life events Robert Farrugia encountered throughout that same year. Tilwin is an attempt at embracing a period of lows and highs, an effort of encapsulating these experiences within recordings. Each event described here is coloured in Robert's mind by a 'hue', that was then reflect…

This final instalment takes the listener on a sacred odyssey searching for the fulfilment of one's (or is it his own?) spiritual destiny, from beginning (‘Entschluss, Abschied…
Signs
2024 stock. Gerald Cleaver is best known for his career as a top jazz drummer, however, his memories of growing up in Detroit inspired him to create his latest project Signs. This debut as an electronic musician and composer came about in his Brooklyn studio through a long process of looking to translate what he heard, into a new language. Cleaver was born and spent most of his life in Detroit, where he experienced, and was influenced by, the legendary development and blossoming of the Motor Cit…

Ok Ocean
What kind of story are you going to tell when all you believe in is poetry? What kind of poetry are you going to write when you collarbone is broken? Some years ago, due to an accident Zanshin was constrained to sitting on the couch for several weeks, his artistic output limited to drafting rough skits on a tablet. To resort to something limited like this as someone who is used to maneuver a flock of synths was not an easy feat, but as we know sometimes limitation provokes proliferation. All the…
