Música Para Teatro 2009-2022
*100 copies limited edition* Wasser Bassin has just released a brief anthology of the work of José Albert Gomes, Música Para Teatro 2009-2022; or, in other words, a road of discontinuous lines, where the contemporaneity of tracks like “Ciúme” is followed by the abstractions of “Quarto Poder”, the meditative atmospheres of “Laudes”, or the glitch of “Needle”. That said, this compendium may sound a little scattered or paradoxical, but the same mind doesn't necessarily have to think the same things…
Estrada Longa
Feedback Moves returns with the reissue of Estrada Longa by Vasco Alves, originally released in 2021 on Cafe Oto’s digital label, Takuroku.
Radials
For AI-38 Italian duo LF58 (Giuseppe Tillieci and Filippo Scorcucchi) present ‘Radials’. A site-specific concept piece that was recorded live on location in Venice, Radials showcases the powerful and transportive sound world which LF58 have become known for. Radials takes its name from the homonymous exhibition created by the Roman artist group Sbagliato, for the 2023 Biennale Architettura of Venice.
Following a landmark renovation of the Fondaco dei Tedeschi by renowned Dutch architect Rem Koo…
Time for No Memory
In an age where the unyielding flow of time often overshadows the deeper resonances of our existence, Daniel Majer’s latest album, »Time for No Memory«, serves as an evocative meditation on the ephemeral nature of experience. Produced throughout 2023 and released in the latter half of 2024, this collection of tracks swerve through what seems like a cacophony of FM radio frequencies while oscillating between the familiar and the uncanny, leaving us with a sonic landscape that feels both timeless …
Space Opera
Pianeti Sintetici presents AI-37, entitled ‘Space Opera’. Conceived by Italian artist Davide Perrone, the Pianeti Sintetici (“Synthetic Planets”) project hypothesises the creation of future synthetic worlds as told through sound. Although split across two parts, the album is a singular organism that narrates a journey of boundless cosmic exploration. A sonic tapestry woven of intergalactic atmospheres, Space Opera’s imaginative sound design contributes to a richly spatial and haptic experience.

Inside Out of Chaos
Runar Magnusson is an Icelandic/Danish sound artist and musician, currently based in Austria. With a masters degree in Electronic Music Composition from The Royal Academy of Music, Aarhus, Denmark, he is inspired by the sounds of nature, noise, and meditation. Magnusson specialises in atmospheric disturbances through minimalist compositions. A sly humour cuts through the dark hues of his works.
Magnusson writes: "The two works which make up "Inside Out of Chaos" are somewhat related. They were m…
Seismograf
*150 copies limited edition* In line with his recent body of work, Uwe Zahn bundled minimal compositions telling narratives situating in the melodic realm of ambient music. On first sight, it seems common that one can enter or construct such stories through the melodies these compositions offer. However, melodies never stand on their own – maybe only theoretically – but in fact truly reveal their magic through the sonical context they’re embedded in. To Zahn, a crucial part of his practice is al…
Wilderness of Mirrors
2023 stock. Wilderness of Mirrors is the new album from Lawrence English. This album has been two years in the making and the first album created since the release of his 2011 ode to J.A. Baker's novel, The Peregrine. It is English's most tectonic auditory offering to date, an unrelenting passage of colliding waves of harmony and dynamic live instrumentation. The phrase, "wilderness of mirrors," draws its root from T.S. Eliot's elegant poem "Gerontion." During the Cold War, the phrase became ass…
For Organ And Brass
** 300 copies only** For Organ And Brass is comprised of two works by the Stockholm-based composer Ellen Arkbro. Both works focus on tuning, intonation, and harmonic modulation. In previous projects, Arkbro composed for early music ensembles, wrote a series of durational pieces utilizing synthetic tones and processed guitars, and, most recently, presented a work lasting 26 days at the Stockholm Concert Hall. For Organ And Brass looks back to Arkbro's studies in just intonation with La Monte You…
Actoma
300 copies limited edition "Actoma" is the new full length record by New York–based musician James Emrick. Emrick may be best known for his work with Kinet Media, handling sound design and scoring for a number of their projects. He utilizes an array of granular and feedback processes within Max/MSP environments to arrive at an idiosyncratic form of computer music that feels willfully opposed to operating within the sediments of the genre. Techniques such as real-time granulation of samples, Shep…
Random and emblematic: The sound of space
"It’s a pleasure to bring together, on this album, musicians with whom we feel a very special connection, namely Felicia Atkinson, Büşra Kayıkçı, Carmen Villain, Kuniyuki Takahashi, Pavel Milyakov, KMRU, Ana Quiroga, Abul Mogard and Pedro Vian. All of them have been very generous in their willingness to participate in an artistic experiment: to build bridges between architecture and music.
Each of these artists chose a space and translated it into a piece of music, and the result is a sonic kale…
8 Quadrants
Not much is really known about the production process behind the sprawling works of Japanese composer Yosuke Tokunaga, nor about the artist himself. Whatever the process may be, its outcome yields unique soundscapes that lunge and retreat in near mechanical movement, while warm volleys of low flung claps and thumps disperse over a bed of textural hums and lingering chords. At times, Yosuke’s work manages to somehow form an atmosphere that can both feel airy and yet dense simultaneously; it is th…
Grapes from the estate
**2023 repress. In process of stocking* Black Truffle make Oren Ambarchi's Grapes From The Estate available once more on vinyl. Originally released on CD on Touch in 2004 (TO 061CD) and reissued on Southern Lord as a limited double-LP in 2006 during Ambarchi's tenure as a member of Sunn O))), Grapes From The Estate was a landmark release for Ambarchi, seeing him expand his sonic palette beyond the clipped, bass-heavy electric guitar tones he was known for at that point. Incorporating subtle laye…
Chants Magnetiques
** 2022 Restock, few copies available ** Here is a masterpiece of electronic music! French musician Bernard Parmegiani has composed Chants Magnetiques in 1974, one of the most sought-after Parmegiani albums -- a monster rarity which is almost impossible to find. This obscure album was composed around the same time as De Natura Sonorum during the mid-'70s, a particularly important and effervescent era for Bernard Parmegiani. Indeed, as if one can say that De Natura Sonorum is one of the best of P…
Februarys
*In process of stocking. Limited edition of 150 copies.* Taylor Deupree & Marcus Fischer are back on with their new album "Februarys". The album consists of 6 long tracks spread over 3 cassettes and is housed in a minimal origami-based boxset which is risoprinted with visual work from Alicia Carrera.
Taylor Deupree and Marcus Fischer have been collaborating on music for over 10 years after first recording "In A Place Of Such Graceful Shapes" (12k, 2011) having never met each other prior to the d…
Proem
*In process of stocking. Limited edition of 150 copies with risograph artwork - available publicly for the first time.* "There's a comforting mechanical heartbeat to "Proem," like a machine that has just become aware of itself, as it creaks and stutters along timidly interacting with its human caretakers. Peak moments of minimal dub-like ingredients impart flavor to a slow simmering broth of rich ear-coating ambience." - Lost Tribe Sound
Call and Response
Stefan Goldmann's 'Call and Response' has been crafted entirely from artificial reverb and nothing else: historic and contemporary units, responding only to brief electronic impulses (clicks).
Mani Mani
Edition of 200 copies. Screen-printed sleeve. Borrowing its title from a verse contained in the Man'yōshū poems, Mani Mani is the recording of the performance held by Pierre Berthet and Rie Nakajima under their collaborative project Dead Plants and Living Objects at Seanaps Festival 2020 in Leipzig. Water dripping in resonant buckets, riverberating rocks, small bowls, self-crafted engines and mobiles: the acoustic gestures of Berthet and Nakajima set into motion an heterogeneous ensemble of soun…
Prisma
* 6-panel digisleeve (coated 350gms cardboard). Edition of 200 * 'Prisma' is the first solo album from Italian composer Luigi Turra on 901 Editions, despite his long-term relationship with the label and appearances on various collaborations and compilations: 'Ma 間' with Fabio Perletta (2020), 'Kailash' with Shinkei (2016) and the piece 'Ki IV' (2016) for the series 'Quark: How Does The Invisible Sound?'.
Three years after 'Fukinsei', his latest solo album released by the Japanese label mAtter,…
