2015 release ** "Given their separate history as masters of droning atmospherics, and their mutual admiration for each others work, a collaboration seemed only natural. Now, after years of discussion, Mnemonic Induction has finally materialized, resulting (not surprisingly) in one of the greatest, most mind bending works of dark ambient ever. A 60 plus minute exploration through nebulous, grey areas of the mind-expansive drones and spiraling vortex of sound that hover near the shadowy, distorted…

Illustrious Company presents... Mesmerine 111. This is a 3D soundscape based on / inspired by the frequency 111Hz, which has been historically and scientifically proven to induce a trance-like state. Findings of MRI scans suggest that at exactly 111hz, the brain switches off the prefrontal cortex, deactivating the language centre, and temporarily switches from left to right-sided dominance, which is responsible for intuition, creativity, holistic processing, inducing a state of meditation or a t…

To be human is to be in flux. It is to exist at the intersection of order and chaos, between structure and dissolution, between noise and silence. Identity does not anchor itself to a single moment; it oscillates, vibrates, dissolves, and re-emerges, like a sound echoing through time, shaping itself within the landscape of its own meta-stability. Identity is not a fixed code, nor a stable structure that accompanies us from the beginning. Were it purely contained within genetic material, identica…

*2025 stock* 'Silvo' presents a series of musical compositions in which the artist intricately explores the evolution and transformation of harsh sounds into a musical narrative, employing dissonance, glitches and textural intricacies in a melodious manner. The creation of piercing sounds and densely inhabited spaces imbued with intensity proved a fruitful source of inspiration, evoking the sensation of capturing moments of implosion and suffocation. The distinction between cacophonous noise and…

2011 release ** In cardboard sleeve. "At long last, and/OAR presents the second of a series of limited edition collections illustrating the various approaches to environmental sound art.

Tip! “We draw a magic circle and accept a new set of rules that reigns from there,” says Arash Ghasemi in describing the foundation of Gnäw, his duo with Simo Hakalisto. Hakalisto and Ghasemi first met in Milano, but they were born and raised in Finland and Iran, respectively. Gnäw melts together these musical roots with various chips and splinters from the different musical worlds and genres they have collected along the way. While Ghasemi brings an understanding of the vastness of the desert, …

*Limited edition of 300 copies.* Since 2014 Gary Mundy of Ramleh and Breathless has been releasing most of his solo work through Fourth Dimension Records. Common Values is his seventh such album for the label (not including a reissue of 2009’s The Return album, originally released on vinyl by USA’s long gone by legendary Noiseville, and the LP reissues of the Broken Flag albums Mobility and Do Not due, after many delays, in late September/October 2021) and gathers another six mighty cuts that on…

*Edition of 300 numbered copies Die-cut cardboard outer sleeve, color print inner sleeve + poly-liner sleeves.* "The exquisite corpse shall drink the new wine", wrote the French Surrealists almost 100 years ago, and from this missive stems the parlor game in which we partake here. Through obscuring the tower itself, they cobble together meandering staircases in which to ascend with absent-minded haste; spontaneous line-weaving amasses figures and phrases into new planes of thought, therefore hol…

A local to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Nick has been involved in the electronic music scene since the mid-90s. Known mostly for live hardware techno sets, Nick spent years making broken beats as Vasculator, spaced-out techno as 1/2 of Untethered, and gutter-dipped "dub" as 1/2 of Gnarled Horse Throat. In 2022, a virus of some sort made percussive transients and loud sounds difficult to tolerate. This resulted in a shift to deeper listening music not aimed at the dancefloor. A trip to Asia served a…

No Rent Records releases drumloop/theia’s “nothing in the world is ours”—experimental, ambient, immersive soundscapes.

Following the ambitious all-analog explorations of “Imperfect Space Journeys” (1988) and “Live Electronic Music” (1989), Jeff Carney was determined to push further into new sonic territories and to continue to strive for even more originality while not yielding to the prevailing trend towards digital synthesis. And so, in 1990, Jeff Carney recorded some of his most ambitious analog electronic music. Those recordings were once thought to be lost — rumors about their existence made the rounds — bu…

Premiering to a sell-out audience…

From the very start the world around you is singing. There's a distant conversation spoken through the trees, but it stays unclear against the clarity of the songs of the forest. Within that life the forms of the heart open up, as if immediately transported to a city-wide window, with only the view of afternoon traffic below, the burning concrete, and the inside of a small apartment. Nothing more than a toy piano lifting its head over the plumes of steam from a cup of tea. Momentary narratives o…

BIg tip! The incident is conceived as a sonic storyboard, a labyrinthine, narrative-driven 'pseudo musical' - using comical sonic touches and startling, idiosyncratic abstractions to reflect the era's flustering absurdity. divided into 4 chapters, the first part ('let the record show'), ponders upon the end of the information age - as we stumble on to an age of corroboration and mutual witnessing...observe, acknowledge, transform, throw back - and reality getting replaced by its representation. …

Fera’s trajectory sticks out like a sore thumb, you need to invest time, carefully divided between body & mind, to truly take a deep dive into his audacious output. After the acclaimed ‘Stupidamutaforma’ and ‘Corpo Senza Carne’, Fera is back with ‘Psiche Liberata’, an oblique, imperfect and broken record, in other words, exactly the type of magical voyage you want to be on. The mind, finally liberated.

Tokyo-based Rhucle, aka Yuta Kudo, has been crafting sublime ambient for more than a decade and in all, there have been over 70 works that blur the line between synthetic sound and the natural world. Using soft synths, delicate piano lines and field recordings from everyday life, he crafts gentle, immersive compositions that invite introspection. Each track unfolds slowly in its own time and is shaped by the textures of the moment, whether that's passing rain, distant voices or subtle room tone.…

His…

Tip! Meidän täytyy valvoa jottemme nukkuisi, sillä maailma on liukas is Pietu Arvola’s first album under his own name. The album was created during a year of loss and a remarkably grey time when most of the formerly distinctive seasons coalesced into a seemingly endless rainy period. Field recordings captured in the last natural forests of southern Finland are interwoven with the swirls of microtonal bells and disorienting clatters. Acoustic and synthetic sounds are detached from their sources, …

In the delicate transition from night to dawn, a profound transformation unfolds. The quiet of the night sweeps away the emotional remnants of the previous day, unveiling a new palette of colors and perspectives with the emerging sun.

Fifth solo album from saxophonist Julius Gabriel. “Tales from the Subterranean” embodies a blend of primal energy and inventive exploration across twelve tracks. The opener “Time Riding” sets the mood, a tearing rhythm that sounds like a frenetic tap dance. It invites you to move and when you get to “Footworks” you are all set up, merging saxophone finger percussion with a continuous siren whisper emanating from the instrument, provoking euphoria, fear and satisfaction all at once. Moving on, yo…

A Colourful Storm proudly presents remastered first-time vinyl and digital editions of Lone Capture Library’s modern-day DIY environmental masterpiece, All Natures Most Mundane Materials. “Environmental”, you say? Well, this certainly wasn’t recorded for dinner party ambience nor was it commissioned by Harrods. But it does document a haphazard wander through the English countryside, feeling the air and the earth, detaching oneself from confinement while attempting to make sense of it all. Its pr…

To mark its 10th anniversary, Rafael Anton Irisarri’s A Fragile Geography returns, remastered and visually reimagined. Composed in the wake of personal loss, the album blends lush drones, field recordings, and melancholic melodies into a moving portrait of resilience, memory, and reinvention.

May 2025 Latest release on ICR. Rhythmic drone music? After running IC Studio for over 40 years I’ve accumulated a large store of recordings by both myself and the many people I’ve worked with. I was recently looking for some masters of another band on a hard drive, where I stored tracks that had been transferred from old digital tapes. I noticed the folder ‘Period Remixes’ which I decided to open, as I hadn’t listened to the material for many years. The tracks were remixes of Jonathan Coleclogh…

2010 release ** "Part One : Back in March 2006 Monos performed their one and only live show, comprised on the day of Darren Tate, Colin Potter and Paul Bradley. The show is recorded on a handheld recorder placed somewhere within the audience by Darius Akashic. Sometime later (probably 2007 no one can remember exactly) the material captured on that recording is revisited in the studio where the track (A Place Of Voices) is recreated over a couple of afternoons and many cups of tea. After that, no…

"When a Russian missile struck the ground not far from my studio in Kyiv, I vividly remember how my body reacted to the explosion, milliseconds before my mind did. That traumatic explosion reduced my essence to a primal state. There existed nothing but dread—the kind that, in scripture, accompanies the appearance of angels announcing, ’Be not afraid’. The visions of 12th-century Abbess, composer and mystic Hildegard von Bingen were preceded by bright, excruciating flashes of light. Modern medici…

2025 stock Painstakingly recorded, processed and assembled over five years, Stars Of The Lid once again delivered a massive work filling two compact discs and three vinyl albums, clocking in at over two hours. While most albums of this length would be considered tedious at best, SOTL are arguably the only contemporary composers who can seemingly alter the time-space continuum simply through the playback of their organized sound. They take time itself and stretch, compress and turn it inside out,…

2008 release ** "When I've been asked to describe the Ice Age with an uninterrupted drone, I knew I wanted to avoid the cliches of the genre: dark rumblings, massive low frequencies, cold atmospheres. I had to describe with sounds the white landscape, the blinding light reflected by the frozen oceans, the abyssal silence.I have imagined myself in flight over this Sleeping Earth, a solitary winged-being surrounded by winds, air, water and ice. This led me to compose an airy drone with minimal var…
