*50 copies limited edition* Mtua is the moniker of Matthieu Reynaud, a composer and sound artist based in Lyon. He is an enthusiast of long, contemplative forms, he works on the physicality of sound matter, carving out its contours and striving to breathe his own narrative into it. As a member of the SILO and Groovedge collectives, MTUA's musical practice focuses on the ability of oscillations to sculpt atmospheres. His sound installations draw on surrounding acoustic phenomena to transcribe the…
*50 copies limited edition* Avant le Rivage takes us back to the poetics of a liminal space in its original definition : a place of transition, of change ; a place that contains the source of a reverie. At the heart of Mélodie Blaison's music, the shore is not seen as an elementary boundary between water and land. Rather, it is a crossroads of prolific inter-relations, a breeding ground for heterogeneous temporalities that invite disembodied contemplation. In this way, the sound materials used b…
*50 copies limited edition* In recent years, much has been written about artificial intelligence and how it can be used. In the art world, these apprehensions have quickly turned into workers' struggles which, beyond criticisms of AI as a tool, have brought to the forefront the flawed relations of production between art commissioners, work instruments and artists. This syndrome of the gargantuan appetite of the capitalist hydra within the cultural and creative industries has, however, left in it…
*50 copies limited edition. 2025 stock* In 1948, Claude Shannon published his theory of the entropy of information. At a time when the telecommunications system was analogue, this engineer from Bell Laboratories formalised mathematically that the quantity of information transmitted affected the quality of the signal. What remains was lost information, a leftover message trapped in the meanders of electrical installations. Listening to The Problem makes you think you found a cabinet of curiositie…

2017 release ** "This duo started in 2014 with the idea to transform the acoustic instrument into a real electroacoustic one. Transducers, springs and microphones are attached to the cello which is then processed through electronic and tape. This CD comes from several hours of improvisations recorded in studio and reorganised to build six pieces of abstract electroacoustic music. "
2006 release ** "All tracks on Purr have originally been composed for choreography. Laurent Perrier, the mastermind behind Zonk t, has reconstructed the tracks for his third release to make it a coherent album to listen to. And he definitely succeeded in that. The musical outbursts of the Frenchman are very minimalistic and could best be categorized as ambient. The fact that he uses only minimal sources and sounds for his creations doesn t mean that the tracks are boring, predictable or easy. O…
2008 release ** "An experimental electro-acoustic duo formed by Wong Chung-fai (Sin:Ned) and Chau Kin-wai (KWC) from Hong Kong. Their collaboration first started in 2003 for the audio/visual internet project “60 seconds” and participated in the multi-media live event “Media Jam” for Hong Kong Sound & Vision Festival in 2003. The two formed as No One Pulse in 2006, exploring the concept of free improvisation and the world of free-from electronics that embraces randomness, chaotic structure, and …
2004 release ** "With his 8th solo album, French composer Laurent Pernice presents the pure electronic music, providing fresh views for academic avantgarde, from the different sides of microtonal music, reductive minimalism and other methods of digital decomposition. Ever since his first album (Details, 1988), Pernice has been collecting certain sounds which came into being all on their own, so to speak, the haphazard result of certain manipulations. By letting them run free, he realised that t…
2015 release ** "As Cummi Flu, Doerell mainly does sound design. There is not a sound on Z that has been included by chance. Each acoustic event has been painstakingly carved, demonstrating its creator's attention to detail. The squeak of a computer, the sound of a door shutting, the drawn-out hum of a cello -- everything here is of equal importance, positioned democratically side by side. Each track feeds on a wide variety of sound sources. And even when there is a lot going on, there is immen…
2010 release ** "The cd Chain of Events is a collection of nine pieces composed by Lars Bröndum. The music was recorded between 2006-2010 and has been performed in Japan, USA, England, Scotland, Spain and Sweden.

2011 release ** "Live recordings from Syntjuntan’s first two years. Music especially composed for textile accessories. The music is tangled with lace and long stitches, embroidered with electronic sounds, square waves and curled noise. Syntjuntan is an ensemble of female composers, musicians and instrument builders. Our purpose is to meet women’s curiosity about technology and electronics, to encourage them to build instruments by themselves and otherwise facilitating their own experimentation.…
2007 release ** "Quite unexpected. but surely long awaited comeback of this mysterious Swiss-based project. returning to the musical scene with the new album released after ten years of oblivion. This is another masterpiece of minimal analogue synth-sound alchemy. a journey through Batchas acoustic world allocated in the deep space between two acoustic radiators of stereosystem."
2005 release ** "Compiled by @c's Miguel Carvalhais, Essays on Radio: Can I Have 2 Minutes of Your Time? brings together 39 artists from the experimental electronica scene, paying tribute to or drawing inspiration from the oldest electronic media. Each piece is exactly 120 seconds, which creates a rather frantic pace; the listener soon loses track of whose contribution will play next and the music turns into a nearly uninterrupted continuum of juxtaposed sonic statements. The artists touch base…
2003 release ** "One of the first albums by mysterious extravagant darkwave project [2003], that sounds somewhere between melancholic psychosis and a child’s play - like a bizarre orchestra from an alien world, charming with multidimensional electronic magic, exotic ethereal vocals, positively hypnotizing layout, yet maintaining an esoteric charge that lurks deeper, delving into caballa and magic of numbers, hidden under macabre jolly mask, equally inspired by 80-ies flavored electronic avantga…
**300 copies in special packaging** EEEOOOSSS is the encounter between three instruments, each one tuned according to a different tuning system. This meeting was conceived and designed over a period of years but only once took place in the Church of S. Giusto, Volterra, Italy, during the night of the 12th of August, 2018, in the nave, the transepts and the choir. Each of the three temperaments embodies specific characteristics, amplified by the instrument assigned to play it. The dark (almost pu…
Last Copies Recorded during the first few periods of lockdown and originally released as a cassette midway through 2021, O Yuki Conjugate's A Tension of Opposites Vol. 1 & 2 is now to be released as a limited edition, double-disc gatefold LP via World of Echo on 1st April. The enforced conditions of its creation represented a new way of working for O Yuki Conjugate founders, Andrew Hulme and Roger Horberry, a pioneering duo who have worked as close collaborators on multiple projects for almost …
* Edition of 400. Black Vinyl Edition * It's by some strange inversion that since his untimely death in 1999 Bryn Jones' Muslimgauze project has become evermore enigmatic as his publicly available recordings have become evermore vast. The Mancunian artist's sudden passing at the age of 37 prematurely resolved a body of work that remains as experimental as it is diffuse, with an informal archive that was left spread between favoured labels and confidantes. And though this monadic project never ab…
2010 release ** "Jazkamer’s “Failed State of Mind” CD offers up nine tracks each clocking in at exactly 3:20 a piece, recorded between 2008-2011, across three different countries (Norway, Agrentina, and Vietnam – all couldn’t be more different), and collaged together to a cohesive yet disjointed album of mellow, weird ambient noise.The album reaches from field recordings of birdsong to beautifully amorphous feedback compositions, to up-tempo live drums meandering around quietly in the background…
2005 release ** "Obsessive electronic music to tell the end of the world chronicle. A project of electronics with strong colors where the occult imprint lives..."
2015 release ** Limited edition of 200 hand-numbered copies. "There is a temptation to connect field recordings with documentaries. It's an impulse compelled by the sense that field recordings are uncontrived compared to conventional music, which requires instrumentation and a high degree of human intervention. But documenting and repeating the sounds of nature requires just as much mediation as does strumming a guitar or playing a keyboard. For one thing, Montero's subjects are precise. He cons…
*2025 stock* While she was waiting for her last album 'Pripyat' to be released, Catalan composer and producer Marina Herlop was restless. She was concerned about her (by then) uncertain music career, and felt emotionally unmoored. "Some days I used to sit on the balcony of my flat to catch some sun,” she explains, "I would close my eyes and start visualizing myself as a gardener, pulling out purple weeds from the soil, every bad memory or emotion I wanted to expulse being one of the plants." As …
Julius Smack engages in a dialogue with a fictional AI assistant to create an album using the prompt, “Make an album that tells the story about the origins of Julius Smack.” Starlight emerges as the imagined response, envisioning a world where beauty and violence intertwine, and memories and dreams are excavated to craft stories.
In a near-future Earth, where artists are among the planet’s last inhabitants, a symbiotic relationship has formed between humans and AI—each relying on the other for n…
Portlander Paul Dickow, as Strategy, presents his latest album— A Cooler World. Fascinated by the unfamiliar limitations and inherent playability of a hand-me-down, 1989 model sampling keyboard, he played these pieces by hand, mostly abandoning the sequencer driven framework of sampling based music; he plays the sampler here the way a guitarist approaches the guitar. A Cooler World is a deep dive into glacial, pensive soundscapes that navigate the boundaries between experimental, ambient, and da…
2015 release ** "What happens when music becomes a weapon? For his project "Conflict Music - The Soundtrack of World Cultures", composer and film director Christian von Borries deals with the role of music in military conflicts. In doing so, different perspectives and facets such as military training, music as weapon, music in future wars are picked up on and artistically processed. Musically, early incarnations of military march music as well as scores and compositions from distinct artists suc…
2005 release ** "Justin Meyers of Devillock distinguishes himself from the mediocre masses with the release These Graves, or, if one combines the track titles, “The Blood From,” “These Graves,” “Weigh Forever,” “On Rotten Creatures”. To me, the mark of a good noise, experimental, or ambient disc is the ability to make me uncomfortable. To take me out of the daily comfortable reality and make me feel fear, dread, hate, melancholy – this is the reason I listen to noise. These Graves combines drone…
2008 release ** Limited to 100 copies. "Pinche Madre is the 2008 creation from Remoteband, released by Russian label Abgurd in a limited edition CDR. To say any more, or try to give further information would be futile. Mainly because there is not much to find, even by scouring the internet there’s no webpage, MySpace or Facebook. Hard to believe in this technological age, but Remoteband has appeared to go off the grid by not even being there in the first place.So what do we have? Well we have…
2009 release ** "from the outside space to the inner space. music that enters your deep psychology from the eardrum. processed field recordings & electro-acoustic sound art collages, a mixture of constituted delicately industrial and noisy ambient sounds. infected person increase!!"

2001 release ** "All tracks on this album was recorded live during nightsessions. This album submerges a listener into the space of dream-like images and forms, makes him feel like somnambulist in the full-moon night in some haunted land. Using the treated voice samples intertwined with ambient and meditative structures, NA-DHA builds an unreal hall of sound mirrors reflecting different elements of this illusory world. 8 untitled tracks of wonderfull dream-magik-ambient."
*Repress* “Great Doubt” is the third full length LP by Danish composer Astrid Sonne. Throughout her acclaimed discography, Astrid Sonne has been carefully crafting different moods through electronic and acoustic instrumental endeavours. On “Great Doubt” this skill is refined, now with the distinct addition of the composer's own vocal in front. The tone of each track is unmistakably Sonne’s, structured around contrasts through an impeccable sense of timing. Lyrics on the album are sparse, merely …
Spite Cathedral returns with Unforgiven Thoughts, an album in which the artist delves into an experimental, dark, and deeply atmospheric sonic journey, fusing industrial, noise, drone, and post-apocalyptic textures to create a unique and disturbing soundscape. From the very first track, the album establishes an unsettling tone. Harsh, mechanical industrial sounds clash with ethereal and distorted melodies, creating a sense of controlled chaos. Spite Cathedral demonstrates a masterful command of …
Mutualism is the pure essence of collaboration, an exchange that not only projects but also guarantees the growth of two individuals. In this bond, there is no competition; instead, a natural equilibrium emerges where both parties strengthen and complement each other. It is not about losing one's identity, but about enhancing it, allowing individualities to shine even brighter when united. It is a reminder that when two forces ally, the result is always greater than the sum of their parts. Mutua…
Formed in the mid-1980s, Nostalgie Éternelle is a band that stands the test of time. This duo from Leer, a city in northwest Germany, has based their sound on post-punk, electronica, industrial-pop, minimal-wave, electro-punk and experimental, and although in their first stage they were only active from 1986 to 1992, in 2009 they came back with more strength, recording new material and touring again.
Krummhörn is an album that is released in a limited cassette edition and also on cd, and the rel…
** Limited repress in standard black vinyl edition ** Meitei considers himself an old soul, often preoccupied with the customs and rituals of the past. Recently Meitei lost his beloved 99-year-old grandmother, a woman who he considered to be one of the last remaining people to have experience and understanding of traditional Japanese ambience. His music and art is driven by a desire to cast light on an era and aesthetic that he believes is drifting out of the collective Japanese consciousness wi…
"Side A : percussive like an ongoing emergency. Side B : electrifying, from after the recomposition. A heavy atmosphere, a combative start. A fiery physicality emerges from each piece. Ripit progresses through a cluttered sky. Rough, thick raw material, a ceiling with pale lights passes at breakneck speed. A space roaring with sirens screaming. We are making good progress in the meanders of a troubled psyche, in the spiral of a bubbling world. Finally, the rhythms are reassuring; the noises and …
Tip! "With « A Bright Sun Shining Down Through All The Opaque & Toxic Layers Of The Underground », Tzii attempts a breakthrough in opacity. Close to emotional ambient, sometimes with slight touches of medieval trad («muxu» means kisses in Basque) and close to raw and mineral materials, Tzii rubs on airy atmospheres, in warm colors, looking for an altered state, almost gaseous. Muffled harmonies, melodious drone, reverb melodies, modulated distorted voices from elsewhere sounding like liberating …
