Conclusio
On Conclusio, Asmus Tietchens bends back toward his industrial roots, folding corroded pulses, cold drones and acerbic detail into a suite that feels like “German Angst” hammered into stark, sculptural sound.
Microliths and Momentary Drifts
*250 copies limited edition* Microliths and Momentary Drifts is the first full-length collaboration from the trio of zakè (Zach Frizzell), Ossa (Kaiton Slusher), and ASC (James Clements), where rolling analog synth lines, chest-rattling bass, and otherworldly atmospherics evoke and build on the timeless qualities of peak-era 90s ambient. Each artist has released solo and collaborative works for Zakè Drone Recordings and Past Inside The Present over the last half-decade, but in this combination, …
Where Light Pauses in the Silence of the Sun
*350 copies limited edition* In spring 2025, Abul Mogard and Rafael Anton Irisarri created the source material for their second album, Where Light Pauses in the Silence of the Sun, during a three-day residency at Morphine Raum in Berlin. Functioning as both recording studio and performance venue, the space has no stage, with the audience gathered around the performers. Working within an open framework, the duo reshaped the music each evening while recording the performances live to multitrack. R…
Movement
Debut Sacred Bones release from acclaimed Venetian ambient visionary. From spectral drones to shimmering electronics and jazz-tinged harmonies, Movement flows like tides: a music of swells, currents and the body in motion.
Rem(a)inders
Amulets is the solo project of Portland-based audio and visual artist Randall Taylor. Amulets employs handmade cassette tape loops and live processed guitar loops to create live, lush soundscapes and immersive drones. Through the recontextualisation of cassettes, sampling, field recording, and looping, these long-form compositions blur the genres of ambient, drone, noise, and electronic music. Amulets has steadily built a catalog defined by tactile intimacy and patient exploration. Deeply immers…
Pareidolia
Named after the tendency to impose familiar likenesses, such as faces, on random - usually inanimate - objects, Pareidolia is Jake Muir's way of interpreting the consonances between so-called “ambient” music and extreme heavy metal. Extracting the headiest, most atmospheric sections from hundreds of death metal and black metal tracks, Muir plays the role of both DJ and electroacoustic composer, concocting a lysergic elixir of fractal distortions and prolonged, decelerated riffs that slowly evapo…
Anthology Of Electroacoustic Music From Portugal
*100 copies limited edition* This new chapter of the Sound Mapping series focuses on Portugal, tracing a cartography of contemporary electroacoustic practices that unfold across a wide and diverse spectrum. The compilation presents a constellation of approaches that oscillate between abstract electronics, music directly influenced by Iberian tradition, ritualistic impulses, and slow-moving electroacoustic drone. What emerges is a porous sonic territory shaped by memory, landscape, and experiment…
Strigiformes
*2026 stock* Concrete Colored Paint is the moniker of Peter Kris of German Army. On Strigiformes, he turns noise into a vessel for reflection—romantic yet raw, tracing the hidden processes of nature. These pieces are not built on beauty in a conventional sense, but on textured contact: the exploration of a sonic field through noise, where meditation arises from immersion and harmony behind it.
Released on Biardo Records, Strigiformes embodies our vision of music as a space that is immersive, spi…
Ritual Fever
There are moments of silent depth in which the winter of the scalpel of meaning and the spring of the sound-born, unleashed body look upon the world fully present. When the notes at last are heard, the ordered world is their indistinguishable score. The ritual of process is that which carries. The process of ritual is that which brings moments both transitory and immortal, apprehended by musician, seer, clairvoyant, herald; the welling tones that emanate from the crystal salt of shattered primor…
The Empty Mirror
David Janssen is best know for his work as Ted The Loaf in Renaldo & The Loaf. When the band came to a halt in 2006, he concentrated on solo music. The Darkening Scale project was born. It is a purely digital affair created by David in his home studio. Klanggalerie have previously released 5 albums by this project: Sonic Archeology, Hydrogen Kaleidoscope, The Entomology Of Sound, Locum Windsock and the Darkening Scale re-working of Duck Stab by The Residents, Stuck Bad. After a pause of several …
Seti Non Tael Tene
The encounter between Ramona Ponzini and Maurizio Bianchi yields a work poised on the threshold between evocation and vertigo: a sonic device unfolding through stratifications, resonances, and semantic as well as acoustic collisions.Maurizio Bianchi, a pioneer of the Italian industrial scene, chisels soundscapes built from abrasive, material noises, dissonant cadences, and atmospheres both dust-laden and rarefied yet simultaneously dense. The listener moves across these terrains as if navigating…
Mumia
On Mumia, Bobby Would turns grief into a slow, chromatic drift: two side‑long drones that move like clouds of deep brown and iron red, a hushed meditation on loss, numbness and the strange beauty that survives inside sadness.
Wormhole
Kreng transports us through the swirling darkness and into the unknown with “Wormhole”, his first album in over a decade. What does a trip towards another world sound like? We’re about to find out. The master of tension, melancholy, and the deranged is back after a long period working in the worlds of theatre and cinema. Last seen on Miasmah with the grief stricken The Summoner, Kreng now returns with Wormhole, following closer in the footsteps of the cult classics L’Autopsie Phénoménale de Dieu…
Kings & Queens
*50 copies limited edition* 'Kings and Queens' is a collaborative EP by the drone/ambient artist .foundation (Jake Carter) and cellist/ambient composer Henrik Meierkord. The record blends deep drone textures, granular synthesis, field recordings, and cello and violin – both processed as natural – into a slowly unfolding, hypnotic journey that moves between vast ambient soundscapes and intimate, emotive strings.
.foundation (pronounced just "foundation") is an ambient, drone, and soundscape proje…
Canals
*300 copies limited edition* Shaped from fragile, emotionally charged piano motifs that distort, disappear and transform into dense, cinematic textures, 'Canals' is a debut that's finely matured, the result of years of friendship and growth. Italian artist Vanja Sturno and Montréal-based Belgian-Spanish composer Pablo Geeraert (aka Sanea Ima) have worked together extensively on various projects up until now, but 'Canals' is their first official release as a duo. Having both studied music academi…
Sub Zero
Just when you thought Kevin Richard Martin's (aka The Bug) music couldn't go any slower, lower or deeper, Sub Zero emerges. A slow-motion excavation of drug-tech, dub, dreamy noise and frozen ambience, the album gradually mutates into hypnotic pulsations and melodic melancholia. It is arguably Martin's most striking release to date under his given name. Originally released digitally on Bandcamp only in the depths of winter 2022, amid the final year of the Covid-19 pandemic and Russia's initial i…
Poulaine
When you’re creating something loosely referred to as “art” with another person, you’re mining the depths of minds and experience, searching connections with pasts, each of us producing from a different place. Communication exists as unspoken and simultaneous, more carnal than collaborative, and dwelling rather than saying. We all miss that, wrapped up fantasies of perfectness and lovesick doves. Youth, how fleeting and naive. "Created by commission for the University of California at Irvine as …
Parasymbiosis
I have long pondered the concept of connectedness in relation to life’s existence. The Dalai Lama teaches that destruction of one’s neighbour equates to destruction of oneself. In contrast, modern Western culture has placed the individual at the epicentre of existence – to the detriment of non-humans and humans alike. Ecological Memory influences present or future responses of a community; it is this shared memory that enables organisms, objects and the environment to connect to each other, and …
XKatedral Anthology Series III
Tip Tip Tip! XKatedral Anthology Series III is the third installment in the label’s ongoing archival series, and it arrives as both a celebration and a statement of intent. Marking ten years of XKatedral, this double‑vinyl set gathers works composed between 2014 and 2025 by artists who treat harmony and timbre as slow‑moving terrains rather than backdrops. Synthetic and acoustic sources, algorithmic procedures and close‑mic’d performance all serve a common aim: precise, patient work in the realm…
