Electronic / Experimental

Elena M. and Denis V. entwine instinct and control on 23, braiding their distinct sensibilities into an electroacoustic reverie. Each piece unfolds patiently, steeped in spectral resonance and subtle tension, yielding a collaborative terrain where stillness and disquiet shimmer in constant exchange.

Grown through collaboration, Samuel Savenberg’s EP As Bright as a Burning Star stands for a music that evolves and becomes newly tangible in the very moment of performance. The live EP captures a concert by Savenberg and his band, recorded at the 2024 B-Sides Festival on Sonnenberg near Lucerne. In this setting, the concert with his close musical companions takes on a life distinct from the studio recordings it draws upon, casting the music in a new light: more immediate, vibrant, and warmer. As…

Ahead of a double LP release scheduled for 2024, Samuel Reinhard shares two new chamber pieces, written for piano and strings and recorded in a former church in Copenhagen. The two works unfold slowly, the possibility of stillness lapping at the edges of each gently rendered note. “Moments of silence are okay,” the score reassures its performers. “They are welcome.” Reinhard’s experiments of late have brought to the fore the environmental and digital textures that arise when various instruments …

Finding herself in different emotional and physical spaces over the past years, The Hague-based Seina creates four ambiguous tracks for Juni, her debut EP out on Präsens Editionen. The material, which comfortably sits between ambient, glitch and noise, feels like a long-overdue update of Mille Plateaux and Raster-Noton's golden days. The result, however, is much richer in texture and much more sensual than these dinosaurs of electronic music. On Juni, Seina, who has a background in electroacoust…

2025 stock The Ring Orchestra is an eight-person effort, a collective coming together to tackle opera and one of the genre’s controversial poster boys. In 18 compositions, the artists Born in Flamez, Gil Schneider, Simonne Jones, Leo Luchini, Legion Seven, P.A. Hülsenbeck, Isa GT, and Ixa create a collaborative musical score that uses Richard Wagner’s Der Ring des Nibelungen as the point of departure. Far from being an affirmative tribute, the orchestra sets out to deconstruct and break down wha…

2025 stock After working in music theatre, sound art and performance contexts, Kapriole is the debut album by Zurich- and Hamburg-based artist Leo Hofmann. Central to the album, which refers in its title to a joyous jump (in classical horse riding as much as in life in general), is the ambition to translate an ephemeral practice into recorded matter. Fixed but never static, Kapriole is informed by intimate and detailed listening situations and sound practices like ASMR or the acoustically shelte…

On their debut album Seven Dances to Embrace the Hollow, Zurich-based artists Magda Drozd and Nicola Genovese, as Sopraterra, offer exactly what’s announced: seven compositions which, as they unhurriedly flow into each other, mark potential entry points to discover what might be lying underneath. By choosing Sopraterra, which translates to “above the earth” in Italian, as their shared project’s name, Drozd and Genovese indicate their own position in this archeological-looking endeavor, hinting a…

2025 stock The new album of Swiss artist Martina Lussi joins what no longer is conjoined. Conceived and realized over a period marked by changes in both the private sphere and the world at large, none of which were thinkable before, Balance brings together the before and after. “Fragments of Attention” is the fulcrum of the album: it separates the first half, written before Covid, from the second, composed during the lockdown. The six-minute track serves as a rupture and bridge between a career …

2025 stock Brendan Dougherty’s LP Economy and Failure is a work stemming from two tumultuous years for the artist: births, deaths and other big changes. The music was made in hotel rooms, airports, cafes and various studios using a basic setup of laptop and headphones.In contrast to Dougherty’s 2016 LP Sensate (Entr’acte), which used heavy synth patterns to create jittering rhythmic pulses without drum sounds, Econ-omy and Failure sees the drums return on longer arrangements that bear some re-se…

2025 stock Walls, Corridors, Baffles is the debut album of Swiss musician and producer Samuel Savenberg aka S S S S. Following various releases on Haunter Records, aufnahme+wiedergabe, and LUX Records, the LP tries to find an approach to an artistic expression beyond tropes of darkness, harshness and excess. The aesthetic of Walls, Corridors, Baffles is radically and uncompromisingly sober. Instead of treating the sound with an abstract, conceptual or symbolic overlay, Savenberg emphasizes its m…

With "Why I Went To The Woods", I retreated once again into my hauntological dream worlds. With the woods being the place one traditionally goes to clear one's head, I went there with these recordings to fortify myself with a deliberate rejection of the Now. Inspired equally by both the fictional filmed landscapes of psychedelic folk - the bucolic British countryside of the 1960s and 1970s which, though I've never witnessed in real life, still fill me with an inexplicable melancholic yearning to…

I started recording "Creature Comforts" with 'Allegiance' on the night of November 4th, as the election results were coming in. I found myself craving lullabies, but ugly and reflective ones, that saw the world with an acute sense of horror and bewilderment and bereavement. Lullabies that didn't protect me from these feelings - or rather did protect me, but did so through immersion. I finished recording on March 10th of 2025. Visual inspiration came from a series of mixed-media works by my gifte…

There's a bridge in Monterrey called El Puente del papa, and beneath it, on the dried-up Santa Catarina riverbed, something happened in the 1990s that nobody planned. Gabriel Dueñez was playing cumbia one night when his turntable's motor overheated and slowed everything down - voices became ghosts, accordion drones stretched into infinity, drums turned to liquid. The crowd kept dancing. Cumbia rebajada was born from a technical failure that revealed something true about memory, about displacemen…

In the early 90s there were a few like minded friends making a unique style of lo-fi pop music. At the core of this non-scene were Sukpatch, Land of the Loops and The Ah Club, who all tended to play on each other's recordings. As the decade went on each of them learned how to use their instruments better, smoothing over the edges, but in typical fashion, the early home recordings had a special feeling that couldn’t be replicated with cleaner fidelity and nicer equipment. Sukpatch especially were…

Clay Pipe Music is thrilled to welcome to the label Norway’s Rural Tapes - the alias of producer and multi-instrumentalist Arne Kjelsrud Mathisen. His new record Oneiric is one for the dreamers - a trippy, cosmic aural experience of mostly instrumental music, recorded on analogue equipment at his Nygrenda Vev & Dur studio in rural Norway. Arne is also joined on two vocal tracks by long-time collaborators Alexis Taylor (Hot Chip) and Gary Olson (The Ladybug Transistor).   He says: “The word Oneir…

Mark Fell inaugurates his new label - The National Centre for Mark Fell Studies - with his first solo electronic material in years; a slinky, ravishing volley of unique dance drills that have been in the works for over a decade, feeling somehow like Derek Bailey dissecting Singeli, or Autechre and Hermeto Pascoal dancing in hyperspace. There’s nothing else quite like it. Back on the ‘floor for the first time since dealing a pair of deep house 12”s with DJ Sprinkles, sending a contemporary classi…

*200 copies limited edition* “Detraex Corp arrives on Sagome to deliver a heady journey through experimental rhythm and dub-informed weight and release with their new album ‘Live at Pompeii’. The album, much like its Carlo Gabriele Tribbioli created artwork, represents a journey, a collection of sounds and emotions, sequenced to share with us, the listener, a variety of experience, and of memory, which are at once familiar and other. ‘Live at Pompeii’ sets things off with the tone-setting ‘Tykes…

Five Again is a striking debut from Mi Ya that spans just six tracks but makes a lasting impact. The album was crafted at Space Talk and reflects on childhood not as a stage to abandon, but as a spirit to protect. Its delicate compositions echo fleeting memories, candles that won't blow out, naps of escape, the quiet joy of rain. Mi Ya describes the work as a refusal to let go of the child within, a reminder of innocence that still whispers. Hazy ambient synths and delicate melodies shine on tra…

All The Young Droids: Junkshop Synth Pop 1978-1985 is a new compilation that charts the underbelly of the epoch-defining sound of the synthesizer in '80s popular music. Compiled by curator Phil King, the music here connects the dots between DIY synth enthusiasts grappling with new, cheap synthesizers at the tail-end of punk and wannabe, jobbing songwriters enthrall to the new music pioneered by Gary Numan, Depeche Mode and Daniel Miller's Mute Records. Featuring rare tracks of auto-didactic prog…

Now available on CD in an edition of 500. The entirety of Origin's musical material is comprised of the vibrating strings of Pitre's ensemble of bowed 'harmonic-guitars,' which are unconventionally strung electric guitars (utilizing multi-unisons) tuned to intervals corresponding with the Harmonic Series, a.k.a. Just Intonation. No effects processing (pre or post) was used in this recording. All effect-like qualities result from the multi-unison strings (phasing), sympathetic vibrations, combina…

An aporetic interrelationship is a state where two irreconcilable components are connected and meaningfully complement each other. The four improvisations explore the hopelessness of being shaped by contradictory forces from which one cannot escape. The dynamism that comes from getting started, trying things out, letting go and playing together is often phenomenal. Sounds and songs can be created that reproduce the vibrations of the live moment of the recording identically. This energy and atmos…

*50 copies limited edition* The coming together of rsn and Niacinamide is a powerful wall of noise with incredible depth. The instruments and sound generators interweave inextricably. There is hardly any room for silence or breathing. The bass pushes, the sounds creak and hum, wobble and destroy themselves. Niacinamide and rsn have created four songs, or better call them sound compositions, that are bursting with power and noise. The mood is consistently dark and the songs crawl from the beginni…

Tauceti (Lilou Chelal) is a DJ / producer / composer from Lyon. As a DJ Chelal distills a dark, tropical and sensual techno with percussive and vaporous rhythms in her mix. She stands for a very particular elegance and a certain, clearly audible maturity, which makes her stand out. "Guanyin" is her very first full length - where she transfers the elegance of her sound into a very personal and unique journey. "I am pleased to announce the release of my very first ambient album on the Denovali lab…

Oliver Doerell and Roger Doering's Dictaphone might not be the most prolific project around, but what they lack in frequency they make up for in sheer impact. 'Poems from a rooftop' is their third album in ten years, and is the first to feature new member Alexander Stolze on violin. The dusty, haunted jazz of 'M.=addiction' and 'Vertigo II' is still visible, but joined by Stolze's shimmering string tones, giving the already rich sound a further layer of depth. The title 'Poems from a rooftop' co…

*120 copies limited edition* Martina Berther and Philipp Schlotter return to Hallow Ground with their second collaborative album since 2023’s stringent exercise in drone minimalism, »Matt.« »Silence Will Never Die« was recorded at the same church in the Canton of Glarus that lent its name to the duo’s debut. Once more the Church of Matt’s organ plays a significant role on these five pieces that navigate between composition and improvisation. However, the two prolific musicians aimed for an even …

Coupled to often despairing or melancholic lyr…
