Morton (Sibling Songs) And Other Descriptions
Stéphane Laporte's solo musical project, Domotic, is a fine example of longevity. Since Bye Bye, his first album released in 2002, the Parisian conscientiously digs a groove aligning on the same axis — which over time looks more like an orbit — the aesthetically perfect pop of the Beatles, psychedelic rock, Old School Ambient, the glorious electronica of the 90’s, the eccentricities of "library music" and the rigor of minimalism. However, it would be unwise to reduce the half-dozen albums and t…

Support Surfaces
**Edition of 300 copies, die-cut sleeve, gloss laminate finish** Soda Gong presents “Support Surfaces,” the new record by Alexi Baris, a musician hailing from Vancouver, British Columbia. Baris’ methods are patient and deceptively rigorous, trading in sonics that are at once organized and organic. Synthetic and acoustic elements are presented in sonorous states of perpetual flux, carefully amalgamated into structures of fertile ambiguity. His is a diligent and painterly approach to sound design …
Zibaldone IV of CVX
"We’ve reached book IV in Rupert Clervaux’s series of “Zibaldone” audio diaries, at which point we find him telling a different kind of story. “The first three all had very specific themes, while this one feels a little bit looser and doesn’t have just one thematic thrust,” he tells me, which maybe explains why listening feels a bit like annotating. I’m underlining, emphasizing, drawing arrows from here to there, highlighting symbols and noting motifs, realising, questioning, eureka-ing. An impr…
Child Of YHWH
*100 copies limited edition* "2020 has been a year of things coming to a head. The combined pressure cooker of modern technology, politics, pandemics, populations, as well as artistic statements and abilities have all reached breaking points that have also led to the utmost supreme shifts into truly unknown territories. It's almost ominous that the incredible sole track here, Child Of YHWH, would be recorded during the winter solstice of 2019, primed and set to lead us straight into the wild unk…
Navigation I Inre Och Yttre Landskap
*Limited to 250 copies in handmande cover. Only few copies available, strictly one per customer.* Gothenburg scene vet Dan Johansson births another Sewer Election record into this diseased world, this time in collaboration with New York's relatively wet around the ears Charmaine Lee. The two lines of biography that accompany the record explain that this was a mail collaboration recorded pre-pandemic, which you can either view as prescient or mere coincidence. Either way, if you're to call an alb…

Shade Of Impulse
*2022 stock. 200 copies limited edition* “Shade Of Impulse” is the first album for Frank Crijns on Moving Furniture Records. For the music on this CD Crijns has coined the term “N-bient”: ambient that refers to nature (here Water) and acoustics (here passages by classical ensembles). On the album several characters of sound collide, combine and interact with each other. A “N-bient“ sound canvas of (mechanical) sound-fields, natural ambient, electronic textures and acoustic ensemble playing, all …
Bombinate
*2022 stock. 200 copies limited edition* After releasing Indite at Moving Furniture Records (April of 2015), the first one with MFR but the band’s second album, Haarvöl began a series of conceptual, somehow interconnected projects, restricting the boundaries of the sonic ambience to a very concise one. This long process gave birth to three albums, each one having a very particular sonic approach but knitted in a personal Haarvöl sound idiosyncrasy, which gives the trilogy a thread that intertwi…
Artefact
*2022 stock. 200 copies limited edition* Codespira1 is the alias of the Stockholm based composer Mattias Petersson. After finishing several years of classical piano studies in the mid-nineties, he eventually ended up in the Swedish capital holding a diploma in electroacoustic composition from the Royal College of Music there.

I mostly explored noise though. Not as …

Of What Once Was

Play Cat's Cradle
*2022 stock. 300 copies limited edition* "I don't know exactly what the instrument is. It's probably a kind of zither; that's how my dad described it to me when he first told me about it. I was immediately fascinated by his description: a set of strings on the left side that was blocked into eleven chromatic 'chord banks', each adjustable between major, minor and suspended fourth via little levers at the front that literally tightened the string by a semitone; on the right, three octaves of note…
Dream Sequences Volume 1 Orphax Reframed

Dream Sequences is a continuous series of experimental ambient / drone pieces with a dreamy touch.
"After the release of Dream Sequence # 3 I asked some friends to listen and to collaborate on a new release. The first reply came from Haarvöl, whilst Jos Smolders also followed with intere…
Prairie Spells, A Ribbon Wove
*63 copies limited edition* "Prairie spells, a ribbon wove" is the outcome of a long-distance collaboration between Lightning White Bison (Adam Parks, also of Timber Rattle) and Drekka (Mkl Anderson), who at the time of its culmination were in eastern Czechia and central Indiana respectively.

Great / Most Secret c/w The Miracle

Grieve
*50 copies edition* "Drekka's debut full-length, "Grieve", was release on August 24th, 1996. This was the day of my friend Phil Perry's funeral and the first copy was buried with him. Phil was one of the earliest and most enthusiastic supporters of my initial attempts towards making music, always honest and constructive when I was failing and always encouraging when I was making progress. Today, on the 25th anniversary of its release, I am unsure how I feel. I have created a body of work from th…
Glimpses of an Eternal Bloom
An introspective dive into an ethereal atmosphere, “Glimpses of an Eternal Bloom” is the debut album of Turkish producer, composer and pianist Berk Icli.The album is an attempt to frame certain moments of “being” no matter the emotional state concerned, whethereuphoric, sentimental or dark and contemplative. At times, this is done through orchestrations of strings, brass andwoodwinds. Other times with solo piano, field recordings, electronics and the use of samples. Born in Istanbul, Berk Icli r…
