Air Signs
*100 copies limited edition* The pieces on air signs are based on fairly minimal guitar loops with overlapping swells and melodies. Inspired by the hawk on the cover, which landed right outside the window at my workplace in a hectic area of downtown Toronto, the pieces are light and airy, reflecting the stillness of our natural surroundings in the midst of human made chaos.
The guitar loops on the album are mostly processed with a Chase Bliss Lossy pedal as well as a Vongon Paragraphs filter bot…
Samen
'Samen' collects tracks from singles, EPs, and compilations that came out between 2015 and 2025. 17 tracks, 76 minutes, presented as a continuous mix on a shiny compact disc. This album compiles some of my very favorite Machinefabriek music, and if you're a newcomer, 'Samen' certainly serves as a great entry into my discography.
Blobs
Ambient Library Music for Woodwind and Synthesiser. A 9 track album inspired by a birthday card Greg's 4 year old son Leo drew for his mum earlier this year. This album is an aural delight of unusual sounds. Kind of like a mix of Satoshi & Makoto, Hiroshi Yoshimura, Hiroki Kikuta and the Karl Jenkins and Mike Ratledge soundtrack to 80's children's Television show 'Button Moon'.
Kiliae I
*100 copies limited edition* 'Kiliae' is a collection of pieces that tell the story of a homecoming. It is a cohesive narrative that captures the feeling of what a home can be, drawing its inspiration from life in that place itself—life that has now become something different after having lived in foreign places for an extended period of time. Kiliae captures a certain atmosphere, a feeling that has built up during countless walks and bike commutes in and around the city of Kiel.
A Serpent Called Emit
*100 copies limited edition* Museum Of No Art is the pseudonym of the artist and musician Mona Steinwidder. The pieces on the album A Serpent Called Emit document a two-year engagement with the clarinet and other woodwind instruments. In the search for simplicity, one encounters complexity. But the Museum discovers connections between the poles and lets them circle around each other. Impurities have found their place in it and hard cuts are intended to underline the volatility of the moment, t…
I Am The Weather
Multi-instrumentalist Sarah Lipstate brings her innovative music to life under the name Noveller. Forming unexpected sonic routes, her songs are vivid and cinematic. Following several years spent collaborating with Iggy Pop, and touring the world as his guitarist, Lipstate returns with a new album of her own. I Am The Weather further expands her inventive explorations, creating what Pop once described to Jim Jarmusch as “symphonies for people that don’t have a lot of time.”
Sarah’s work as a com…
Alone
*2026 stock* "Alone" is the third longplayer from Italian sound artist Simone Giudice, following his 2021 album "Materia" released on the Spanish Semantica label. The album brings together seven parts that impress with compositional diversity and confidence, merging into a complete work.
With sensitivity, melodic arcs of tension are brought together with partly classical instruments such as the piano, a dramaturgical performance that knows exactly when to press which emotional button to involve …
Ousia
*2026 stock* With Ousia, Joachim Spieth presents his third full-length album on his label Affin. Originally released as a double 12", the record translates ephemeral impressions into cinematic soundscapes and unfolds across eight pieces that form an intense, emotional journey — exploring the subtle interplay between external perception and inner reflection.
The album also features Mutuus, a captivating and unique collaboration between Markus Guentner and Joachim Spieth — their first joint work i…
Tides
*2026 stock* Originally released in 2020 as a double 12", Tides marked Joachim Spieth’s second full-length album on his Affin imprint. The record quickly sold out and has now been reissued as a carefully crafted CD edition presented in a 6-panel digipak.
The album unfolds across eight tracks, shaped by endlessly interwoven layers and subtle shifts of tone, tracing a path between immersive, melancholic, and euphoric moments. Flowing textures and atmospheric depth merge into a vivid emotional land…
Onda
*2026 stock* With "Onda", Regensburg artist Markus Guentner releases his follow-up to Empire, which appeared on A Strangely Isolated Place in 2021.
"Onda" captivates with its orchestral-like progressions, an endlessly interwoven carpet of sound that spreads out over six etudes. As if in slow motion, he scans through the individual sound particles, works out details, lets dust fall from the source material, cores, connects and in the end lets everything flow...
"Onda" will be released on May 5, 2…
Paradessence
Paradessence, Visible Cloaks’ third full length, is a work of emergence and illusion. The album’s fourteen songs shift, heave, and shimmer against a faintly luminous backdrop of night, a cavernous space shaped by sparse hyperreal representations of the natural world. The arrangements are simultaneously grandiose and fragile, both an inversion and culmination of what came before and as adventurous as anything they’ve produced so far.Since transforming from Cloaks to Visible Cloaks in 2014, Spence…
Piano Distance
*Every copy is assembled by hand, slowly and deliberately. No two will ever be exactly the same. Individually numbered. Limited to 75 copies. * There is a quiet moment as winter begins to loosen its grip, when the frost softens, the light lingers a little longer, and time seems to gently unfold. With 'Piano Distance', Japanese composer Nakamura Hiroyuki invites us into that fragile threshold between seasons.
A pianist, composer, and visual artist working at the intersection of acoustic instrumen…
Kicking A Dark Horse
The third release in Greyfade’s Folio format—a full-length music edition in hardcover book form—is Josh Mason’s Kicking A Dark Horse. For his Greyfade debut, musician and sound artist Josh Mason presents an ambitious multi-modal work articulated across sound and text: a 9-track electronic album alongside a book-length work of experimental writing. Across both forms, Kicking A Dark Horse is governed by controlled instability—chaotic structures that cohere without repetition and evolve without res…
Remnants
*100 copies limited edition* "Remnants is an album marked by the ambiguity of presence and absence. The pieces, recorded using minimal equipment in what Suzuki describes as a ritual-like atmosphere, began as a way of processing the loss of her father in 2019. But beyond this, they also come to speak to the ways in which loss changes our relationship with someone, and our experiences of the world. Indeed, the experience of loss is not marked merely by a single event, but is instead a process that…
Wave Salt +7
*100 copies limited edition* Josh Mason’s new collection, "Wave Salt +7," emerges from an oblique origin. Unearthed from a dormant hard drive, it documents a set of work sessions only partially recoverable, their original continuity and intent fractured by time and technical failure. What remains is a constellation of mercurial gestures that proves, against all odds, to be entirely consonant with Mason’s ongoing musical concerns.
In a sense, the very condition of partiality proves generative, wi…
Till Human Voices Wake Us
*150 copies limited edition* Originally released in 2014 on cassette and digital only, Till Human Voices Wake Us was the first album by the Iranian artist on Umor Rex. It became a key work in our catalog, and now, 12 years later, it is available on vinyl for the first time. This is the first in a series of four special, limited reissues to be released in 2026 to mark the 20th anniversary of Umor Rex.
Till Human Voices Wake Us comprises ten tracks with a clear and carefully structured script, bas…
Coalescence
A mild-mannered engineer by day, Michael Carlson is an experimental computer musician who focuses on drone ambient music and field recording; revolving around tracker programs since the early '90s, informed and inspired by the eclectic styles of music he listens to. The results sometimes hold the listener in stasis, other times guiding the listener through undefined vistas, always with the intent to reward patience. 'Coalescence' is the culmination of several years of exploration, experimentatio…
No Shadow of Turning
"A cavernous dive into a stark melancholia, ancient plaintive melodies summoned from transcendent chant, out-of-body guitar, rumbling canvas of wind, a stray dog barks either to warn or direct us to the eerie salvation beyond the wilds" - Raphi Gottesman, Buddha's Hand
Written, recorded and re-composed during a two-week residency at fara hoprich in martínkovice, czech republic, between 14 and 25 october, 2024. performed live in the forest as an improvised dimensional audio collage at "když proml…
Obreel
Obreel emerges as a compelling meeting point between three distinct yet profoundly complementary voices within contemporary ambient and experimental electronic music: Pepo Galán, Joachim Spieth, and Markus Guentner. The result is an album where rich textures, delicate fragility, and architectural clarity coalesce into compositions of meditative depth and luminous resonance.
Stillform
Stillform is a meeting of kinesthetic restraint and sonic precision. The album’s aesthetic lives in reduction - sparse motifs are carved out with care, micro-rhythms and attenuated textures bloom and dissolve with measured control. The collaboration reflects both artists’ shared interest in how minimal elements can create profound aural spaces: Onodera’s spatial sensibilities and Arovane’s keen melodic structuring converge to offer a listening experience that is simultaneously intimate and expan…
