Tre Giorni e un Mattino d'Estate
**200 copies** Another gem by Fabio Orsi to launch the new decade in the best possible way.

To Found
**200 copies** To find again sequences, sounds and samples, previously elaborated for other works and live performances, decontextualizing all of them to create new original material. These are the starting points for To Found, the third release by Corrado Altieri and Gianluca Favaron on a Silentes label, devoted to all-round experimentation and stylistic contamination through the multiple languages of electronic sound. Drone music, post-Techno rhythmic disintegrations, suggestions of the old In…
Distant Brilliance
**100 copies** BJ Nilsen releases his very first 10" vinyl record in a career spanning more than twenty years, and the result is simply a must for anyone interested in experimental electronic music. Distant Brilliance contains two new tracks, namely The Question and The Answer, which were composed especially for this release on 13 and were recorded at Odd Phasing and Echoes, Amsterdam, The Netherlands, in 2019.

Avatar Blue
Earlier this century Spencer Clark created a sound phantasy with Skaters and after that he pursued a new alchemy under various aliases (Charles Berlitz, Fourth World Magazine, Monopoly Child, Typhonian Highlife, etc.) and projects (like Egyptian Sports Network, Tarzana or The Temple Defectors). He’s back with a new album under a new name, Star Searchers, a futuristic eco-friendly record. It’s life on earth as you never heard it.
Tau Tau
Multidisciplinary Portuguese artists Calhau! return with a new album and their first release on Discrepant. It’s quite possible you’ve never heard about them. They’re not that famous in Portugal or anywhere. Calhau! is formed by couple Alves von Calhau and Marta von Calhau, not their real names, but they’re their real names in the artistic reality Calhau! have been working in the last 15 years. But now that you’ve read their name, you must dig in. They’re one of a kind.They’re not musicians, pai…
Weapon Design
**CD version** The very latest from Ramleh's Anthony Di Franco, whose long-running solo JFK project has been dedicated to the kind of concrete-mixed rhythmic pummel countless others would almost kill for since the cassette network culture of the 1980s. It's an immersive sound that, naturally, shares a little common ground with Ramleh yet emphasizes the monstrous chasms that can be drawn from a sturdy combo of bass-churn and galvanized beats. Whilst the labyrinthine textures beamed in from steelw…
Okura 73N - 42E
Musica Genera presents another album from French musique concrète composer Lionel Marchetti (in 2005 MG had released the CD Docteur Kramer (You Are Not You) by Marchetti and Emmanuel Petit), this time realised together with his artistic partner Yôko Higashi, Japanese performer, dancer and vocalist. The album contains three compositions of musique concrète, one by Marchetti, one by Higashi and a collaborative work by both artists.Each of the tracks is an elaborate sound construction of individual…
Mauve Cycles
"Mauve Cycles by Anny Zaradny is a significant release. It is the first solo CD by the artist with already considerable output, including improvised music, composing for theatres, collaborations with visual artists and sound installations. Also, the involvement of women in the contemporary experimental music still seems to be perceived as unusual (hence the compilation releases such as Women in Electronic Music from 1977 or Her Noise exhibition from 2005) and in Poland it is a marginal phenomena…
Lasting Clinamen
"Lasting Clinamen is another step further in one of the most adventurous Polish experimental musician's quest for new sounds. In the four pieces on this CD Robert Piotrowicz takes his explorations of modular analogue synthesiser to a new level. While his previous releases were action packed experiments with the possibilities of the instrument, the new one is a statement from an artist who knows exactly what he wants to achieve. Robert has mastered his skills and feels confident with his tools, e…
Docteur Kramer
Two pieces of musique concrete. Docteur Kramer (2002-2004). One composition of Lionel Marchetti. Zizi (2001-2002). One composition of Emmanuel Petit and Lionel Marchetti.

RFG Inventions for Cello and Computer
Remarkable collaboration between inventor, synth pioneer and EMS co-founder Peter Zinovieff and preeminent cellist Lucy Railton, capturing a life-altering dialogue between two figures with a more than 50-year age gap between them, and with very little shared musical vocabulary. Pursuing common ground through an open-ended series of conversations and experiments, the pair somehow produce what we can only describe as creative alchemy; transforming banal conceptual triggers into a work seeping into…
Not Linear
**100 copies, coloured vinyl** The collaboration between Gino Pavan and Guido Frezzato began in 1995, with the creation of the soundtrack of Giancarlo Marinelli's movie Scano Boa - Dannazione.Gino Pavan recorded and produced, in his own "Noi Studio", the music of Frezzato, then given to an ensemble of 15 musicians, among them a strings quintet, and the folk ensemble Marmaja, along with the ethnic suggestions of the percussions by African Brothers. In the following two years, their collaboration …

Farol
**200 copies** "Farol is the sound portrait of a monumental architecture : the 25 Abril bridge in Lisbon. The 25 Abril bridge is a symbol for the Portuguese capital. Visible to tens kilometers around, it serves as a visual and noisy landmark. As we come closer, the buzz becomes stronger until it gets blatant, like the light from a lighthouse which becomes blinding when the coast is near. Farol est le portrait sonore d’une architecture monumentale. Ce field recording nous emmène au cœur du pont d…
Woodland Sigil
**200 copies** "During the summer of 2017 my girlfriend and I drove through the heart of Sweden. For the first time ever on a holiday, I took my hand-held recorder with me to record some of the sounds Sweden had to offer. In the course of 2 weeks we saw many beautiful vistas, viking graves and ancient woods and it’s no surprise that I made a lot of recordings at those most beautiful locations.For nearly a year, these recordings were collecting digital dust on my hard drive. I just listened to th…
Being There
**170 copies** "This album is a field recording. It’s a field recording of me recording music. It’s a recording of my room and the street outside. One track was recorded in the morning during a holiday, the other on a weekday afternoon. In a way, all of my albums since Ghosts are field recordings. Most of them weren’t planned to be, but I don’t really have a choice. I’ve been recording onto a Zoom digital recorder since I moved here. Sometimes I try to eliminate the outside noise, but my apartme…
Something Veiled
**175 copies** "This work consists of recorded materials at ‘Abukuma’ and ‘Irimizu’ limestone caves on Abukuma highland, Fukushima. Water is plentiful there, and we can see a long waterfall near our route in Irimizu limestone cave. Both caves are developed and open for public as tourist spots, however, there are some areas that require a guide to enter, and some others prohibited. And also, they are still under survey and possibilities are pointed out that deeper spaces than the deepest spots we…
