The Tower of Doom
HDK proudly announce this incredible album by a well-known artist from the Dungeon Synth scene. Ladies and gentleman, welcome to the new FVRFVR (aka Lord Cervos) album!
Germinal
*110 copies limited edition* The debut LP by Outliers, "Germinal," offers a kaleidoscopic blend of lo-fi sensibility and hi-fi substance. The duo delivers on its namesake by deviating from musical norms. Using atypical rhythms, atonal sounds, and shifting forms, their music creates an inviting familiarity. Outliers' music can call a number of genres home: electronic, ambient, psychedelia, minimalism. No matter what you label it, "Germinal" will soothe your psyche with its shimmering inner light …
Osmose
** Edition of 300 ** Born and raised in Paris, Ariel Kalma studied electronics, computer science, music and art in Paris, he performed with several bands, then toured the world and visited Europe, Japan, India, Eastern Canada, and parts of the USA. Apart from rhythm & blues, pop and jazz, he acquired assorted experiences in Middle Age French, electro-acoustic, and modal music. All the travels broadened Ariel's musical horizons tremendously; listening to and playing with different styles, people,…
City of Djinn
One of many Muslimgauzes to finally see the light of day on vinyl, his first meeting with The Rootsman is a fierce session of signature, sawn-off loops and soundsystem noise
Eusapia Klane
Eusapia Klane is an audiobook whose instrumental part composes the music of the entire Périmètre de Denver. Eusapia Klane is one of the main characters of the circus piece Le Périmètre de Denver. This 20-minute audiobook dwells on Eusapia Klane going to the car dealership, thinking that she can probably trade in her current car for a new one. So she tries a car, with which, suddenly, she runs away. Eusapia never left her town. She heads for Malaxy, a bright urban enclave. In this city, she will …
Invasion/ Murder One
One of Alan Vega’s greatest talents was his ability to bring the past and the future together into a suspended place of timelessness. His groundbreaking duo Suicide was often seen as future primitivism and most of his musical output has exemplified this blending of the primordial human condition and visionary thinking. With Invasion b/w Murder One, the next release from the now infamous Vega Vault following 2021’s Mutator, we see this innate power in full effect. The two tracks “Invasion” and “M…
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…
BMW
Tip! A screeching smash of searing grit and demolished shock from the trio of Blankenship / Mumma / Wiese, which can be identified as a distinct subgroup within the Sissy Spacek discography, responsible for such carnage as Wreck (2013), Basement (2014), and Slow Move (2017). BMW stands as a sharp-edged monument in the trio’s advancing decay, culled from a session at Blankenship's high-security Bronson studio and utilizing the equipment and environment that fueled sessions by LHD, White Gold, and…
Gong
Torn Light Records presents a new tape release by great harsh noise duo Sissy Spacek featuring John Wiese and Charlie Mumma. A treat for your ears!
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…
Majestic Noise Made in Beautiful Rotten Iran
It's an all electronic affair, harmonically maximalist, predominantly symphonic synthetic, requiring active listening. Some pieces function as challengers of musical structural habits, provoking the short attention span culture, others present
a problem-solution scenario, collectively via
a neoteric noise aesthetic and detailed melodic weaving. Ultimately, the objective was to engineer an assortment of works full of sound, euphonic and vivid in nature.
Shade Of Impulse
Crijns's first album for the label, in which he coins the term 'N-bient': ambient understood as the meeting point of nature (here, water) and acoustic instrumental writing (passages by classical ensembles). Several classes of material collide and combine - mechanical sound-fields, natural ambient, electronic textures, ensemble passages - folded into surreal, layered textures. An electro-acoustic music whose abstract elements pull the listener inward while the surface holds quiet.

dp[a] + hsh
Petrovic's debut album bringing together two previously separate projects. dp[a] takes dysprosody - a rare speech disorder marked by unconventional shifts of pitch, volume and rhythm - as a model for an alternative grammar of expression. hsh, commissioned for a Dansmakers Amsterdam dance duet, takes its title from the Moroccan haschoema and addresses social control and the silencing of women. Glitch-inflected computer music as ethical and linguistic inquiry.
Parkustomnie
First documentation of an improvised session by Jean-Luc Guionnet (church organ) and Miguel A. García (electronics) recorded at the Conservatorio Jesús Guridi in Vitoria-Gasteiz in 2016. Across two pieces, the duo plays the dynamics of the electroacoustic field itself: the work is calibrated so that playing it at different volumes produces materially different listening experiences, with the threshold of audibility used as a compositional parameter. Particularly quiet, post-reductionist.
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…
ABC 1-6
Score for indeterminate ensemble by Swiss composer Stefan Thut (2012), here realised by Cristián Alvear, Cyril Bondi and D'Incise. The piece is governed by three categories of sonic material - 0 for faintly coloured noise, 1 for amalgam of noise and pitch, 2 for pure pitch - circulated across six pages and as many rounds in an ever-shifting structure of repetition and turn. A rigorous taxonomy of sound material in the lineage of Wandelweiser and post-Cage indeterminacy.
Artefact
First album under the Codespira1 alias by Stockholm-based composer Mattias Petersson, trained in electroacoustic composition at the Royal College of Music. The project began as a vehicle for one-take electronic performances built around SuperCollider patches and a modular system, here extended into longer structures. Artefact unfolds as an articulated drone modelling the subconscious cycle of memory and resonance: a continuous tonal field where small events trigger gradual reconfigurations.
Waanzintraan
Second album for the label, composed in China where van Huizen was based. Waanzintraan extends his investigation into what he calls 'the harmony of noise': not noise as genre signal but as aesthetic and visceral material, deployed within often consonant frames. The piece weaves processed field recordings from Shanghai and Xi'an into a sustained electronic discourse of contrasts, where harsh and resonant matter coexist within a unified compositional logic, on the ambient-noise threshold.
