How To Be Yourself
Enrico Cesaro, the person behind the alias Mace., is back releasing his brand new work in collaboration with viscm and angoisse. "How to be Yourself” is an ode to the ever-changing, untouchable unfolding of the self and the elusive observation of it.
The ensemble of tracks shapes a canvas of individual experiences, family memories and collective uncoscious that suggests - both by blending together and maintaining their own singular character - the hurdle of grasping totality. Unexpected contras…
One Day
*2024 stock* In the summer of 2007, Jones visited Foster in South Korea and did a series of shows there and in Japan, both as their duo English and in other combinations. In Tokyo, they made time in their schedule to spend a day recording with Nakamura, and “One Day” documents the results, as captured by recording engineer Taku Unami at Kid Ailack Hall. Three lengthy improvisations showcase a unique collective aesthetic, dense and organic, pointillistic but rough, focused but not overly polished…
Like A Gun
Following work with poet Lucy Van (Figures, Purely Physical 2017) and a string of highly alluring sound parcels via her Careful podcast series, the Melbourne-London based producer, DJ, curator, and performer presents two solo pieces of ambience and deftly arranged instrument-voice interplay.
A space is found within a mix of DIY instrumentation, science fiction rumination and the melancholic exotica of possible pasts. The eponymous opener, ‘Like a Gun’ pushes and pulls between a place of pure da…

1982
I stayed in Iwate, where I was born, for a few days and created some sound materials using limited materials and old media. Over ten years ago, Iwate was devastated by the Great East Japan earthquake. Many old things that remained in my memory became rubble, dismantled, and new scenery was there. I bounced every song from “1982” straight onto an old tape recorder.
This album that comes out of my interest in sonic "degradation and rebuilding". I treated the guitar and synthesiser in a lot of new …
Two Cycles
Billy Bultheel's debut solo album is an ambitious distillation of the composer's,' sprawling litany of influences and his unique approach to site-specific composition.

Drawing inspiration from industrial music and metal as well as medieval and baroque polyphony, Bultheel devise…
Lights In The Pond
Lights In The Pond is a contemplative exploration of a dilated dimension. Layers of natural field recordings form a landscape inhabited by rarefied melodies that unravel and chase each other until they tear apart.A bioluminescent pool, scanned by the technological remnants of a hidden humanity.
Lights In The Pond is the solo project of Davide Amici, born in 1987 in a small town on the Adriatic coast. Over the years, he dabbled in various genres and played many instruments, mastering none and enj…
Black
'Black' is a musical eulogy to Amy Winehouse, a heartfelt memorial to a sorrowful demise. Its an album of predominantly beatless ambience possessed by the ghost of 'Back to Black'. Fragmented moods and hypnotic drones melt together as its circular beauty is set adrift, floating away into an endless void, where the original only remains in spirit alone. It doesn’t make particular sense why I was drawn to this idea and compelled to immerse myself in the original song, and her life in general, but …
To Dream Is To Destroy
*2024 stock. 50 copies limited edition* This is the fourth studio album of Kryptogen Rundfunk and the first one since the project moved from Russia to the Netherlands. Six tracks full of weird trademark radio noises and interceptions, heavy bass drones and piercing high frequencies, abstract electronic signals and quirky samples. These layered compositions are slowly building up, creating thick mesmerizing walls of sound, yet at the same time leaving room for a bit of flippancy. An uneasy ride f…
Patio User Manual
On his third album as Etelin, Alex Cobb explores the intricacies of separation and belonging using field recordings and electronics, reconfiguring the dividing line between what is artificial and natural in the process. Maintaining a sense of playful reverence and lurking melancholy in its glitchy pastoralism, Patio User Manual hums with a meticulous and singular energy. From the loops and static pulses of "The Chemistry of Cobalt" to the tension and release of "Electrical Sailing," the listener…
