Human Pitch is proud to welcome Salamanda to the label for the release of their 3rd LP, ashbalkum––a portal into unseen worlds, enchanting stasis and laughter in the face of our evolving realities. Across an effervescent 39-minute runtime, ashbalkum provides a spellbinding view into how we interact with the world around us––one where one’s own being, language, & nature itself are all rendered infinitely mutable. Written during the surrealist landscape of summer 2021 somewhere between a sweet dre…

The music for The Spiral was first created as soundscapes to a multimedia spatial installation (with the same title) initiated and curated by last oblivion in spring 2019. The installation took place at Basement, Copenhagen april 2019 and was open for 7 days with events and happenings specifically curated for each evening. The music was released on tape by Amatör Kassetter in september same year and later released on vinyl by Förlag för Fri Musik 04/18/2020.

Animist Pools was released July 1, 2016 in a cassette limited edition on Human Pitch records. Originally released as "Hippies Wearing Muzzles", pseudonym of Lee Evans. This is a limited vinyl edition of this amazing record of ambient. "A shifting center in a stream of rippling analog tones, the music of Hippies Wearing Muzzles is orchestrated to transfix, echoing sounds heard in nature with modular synthesizers and the powerful element of chance. Evoking the Fourth World Music of Jon Hassel or t…

*2022 stock* 1986's Rituals is one of the best-kept secrets of the Belgian synth-pop/coldwave movement -- sinister, dark, with touching melodies. Peter Bonne and Geert Coppens had already been playing for a few years in other projects such as Autumn and Linear Movement, and in 1985 they managed to create this stunning album. Highlights on the album include "I Never Called You a Dream," "Rooms," "Amorphous Materials," "Closed Circuit," and every other track. When the LP was originally released, b…

** 2022 Repress, black vinyl** Flux is the 1981 debut solo outing of Robert Turman, an American multi-instrumentalist and avant-garde composer. Until recently, Turman was perhaps best known for his contributions to the ballistic NON project with Boyd Rice, as well as other obscured U.S. industrial acts such as Z.O. Voider. In the summer of 1981, Turman decided he would take a drastic turn from the noisy/electronic/industrial work of his compatriots, and began work on what is now the classic Flux…

* 2022 repress * Rarely do two types of music meet on a level where they threaten to cancel each other outlet alone create something even more meaningful in their mutual vanishing. But the music created within the seminal Murder Ballads (Drift) by Martyn Bates (Eyeless in Gaza, & parallel solo career) and Mick Harris (Napalm Death, Lull, Painkiller, Scorn) creates just such a world. Murder Ballads (Drift) evolves Martyn Bates vocalisations / storytelling song-voices, by turns expressed as labyri…

*In process of stocking. 300 copies limited edition* After a first reissue, which seduced music lovers nearly 40 years after the group's disbanding, Le Backstore and On The Roof have repressed the works of IKO as a double vinyl set. »'83 & Extra Studio Works« includes the entirety of the »'83« album, plus four tracks recorded after its original release. The additional pieces reveal an outfit that pushes its own limits, gaining in intensity while straying away from the more abrasive sound of the …

Electronic Jugoton part 1 is officially opened by the band Laboratorija with the song Devica 69, which opens a window to a completely new and experimental world in former Yugoslavia. Laboš and Luketić have boldly chosen the material without reservations, suggesting that for the first time in one place we have a section of forgotten, unique underground bands like Beograd, Data, Brazil, The Master Scratch band, DU DU A and beyond. Besides the excellent underground bands, we find popular performers…

*2022 repress* The Wanderer is based on a single modal scale (B C# D D# E F# G#) and rhythmic modes based on a meter consisting of 3/4 and 3/8. Part I, "Song," is intended to explore the unique resonant qualities of accordion reeds through long sounds. Subtle variations come about from differences in tuning and air pressure. Part II, "Dance," demonstrates the sharp accenting power of the accordion bellows in a mixture of cross rhythms characteristic of jigs, reels, batucadas, Bulgars, Klezmer fo…

Nicolas Jaar's Telas was made between December 2016 and January 2020.

Japanese multi-instrumentalist Masahiro Takahashi's latest album is a meditation on seasons and distance, recorded in isolation at his temporary home studio in Toronto. Following “the coldest winter I have ever experienced,” he began crafting hushed, lush vignettes of color wheel electronics with an array of software synthesizers, granular samplers, plug-in FX, MIDI controllers, and a shruti box. The songs sway, shimmer, and unspool in sparkling arcs, between reverie and lullaby, inspired variou…

Music From Memory are excited to present the latest chapter in their ongoing collaboration with seminal Spanish ambient musician Suso Saiz. 'Resonant Bodies’ is Suso’s seventh album project with the label and again raises the bar of his musical output, embracing a conceptual approach of which Suso himself says the following: “A body vibrates producing a sound that reaches another body and makes it vibrate and generate a new sound that makes another body vibrate that generates another sound... Im…

*200 copies limited edition* Third work for Richard B. Lewis, who, with "The Blue Horizon", takes us on a journey through the whirlpools of mental disorder that blur the unreachable blue horizon like a thick fog. Sounds that penetrate inside and leave you naked in a bond between nature and dream. Drones and noises that keep you suspended in an oppressive limbo but let you see the light... You can't touch it, but it seems to be there waiting to welcome you. With "The Blue Horizon", Richard B. Lew…

*200 copies limited edition* After a good six years from Nimh's last solo CD of previously unreleased material (Circles of the Vain Prayers), and two years after his previous collaborative CD (Post-Folk Lore Vol.1), Giuseppe Verticchio is back, walking again on those same electronic paths strongly imbued with ethnic ritual suggestions and sonorities. The sound of string and wind instruments, metals and percussion instruments coming mainly from South-East Asian countries, combined with refined el…

*200 copies limited edition* Gathering its most vivid elements, and drawing inspiration from the most emotionally touching mixtures of electronic synthesizers, driving rhythms - always 'clever' and sober - and melodic para-ambient offshoots, Like the Snow creates an album with almost 'epic' connotations, for its ability to involve and for the intensity of the emotions it is able to convey. At times sweetly melancholic and introspective, at times 'charged' with irresistible dynamic energy, but al…

Across two 7”s, Death Or Glory (1982) and Death Rocks (1983) and one 12”, Anguish (1982) Jimmy Smack carved his own bleak chasm amidst the LA Death Rock scene that he inhabited. After decades dormant in the crypt, Knekelhuis finally compiles Smack’s full recorded output, providing it a lavish place to rest on the Death Is Certain LP. While his local punk contemporaries pursued aggressive hardcore and political punk, Jimmy Smack donned corpse paint (before it would later become synonymous with th…

**2022 stock** "The first time I heard this it took me on a total journey and it blew my head off. I couldn't believe how good it was! Concert Silence is the live duo of Matthew Cooper of Eluvium and Charles Buckingham and this album is the first of their manipulated fruits to surface. They're both into live sound manipulation, so this performance was organised and here is the mastered music. It's quite different for Infraction as the vast majority of the output on the label has been ambient but…

*100 copies limited edition* These two pieces, recorded in sessions in Ghent, Belgium and Hamburg, Germany, represent the first musical collaboration between long-time friends U. Schütte (half of the German duo Phantom Horse, with several releases on Umor Rex) and G. Steenkiste (aka Hellvete). In this work, two specific traditions of the avant garde of modern electronic music of the meet elegantly: the systematic, evolutionary and minimal construction of harmonic and solemn forms, with the patie…

Following many previous encounters of various nature (collaborations, split releases, sharing live line-ups, etc.), Joel Gilardini (The Land of Snow, Mulo Muto, Psychic Drones) and Paolo Bandera (Sigillum S, SSHE Retina Stimulants, Iugula-Thor, Ensemble Sacrés Garçons and much more) get back together for a very different new project “Jenseits Der Anerkennung”, released under their own names. An isolationist exercise in sonic psycho-geography, the album takes a series of Berlin-inspired images as…

*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 …

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…

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.

2001’s »Anima« was the third album released by Sasu Ripatti under his Vladislav Delay moniker and marked a turning point in the stylistic development of the prolific producer. Clocking in at roughly 62 minutes, the single piece draws on dub aesthetics while working with Musique concrète-like methods through the liberal use of samples to create a dreamlike logic. Muffled voices, lush chords, subtle rhythms and indefinable sound events are not so much integrated into a composition with a predeterm…

**Limited Edition of 199 copies.** Akifumi Nakajima was probably best known for his work under the name Aube, which was one of the more prolific and most interesting noise acts from Japan. He had an impeccable and marvelous sense of design and appreciation for the materials, taking packaging beyond just using regular old paper with his wonderful and unique label G.R.O.S.S., dedicated to releasing experimental music and noise, in addition to his own recordings as Aube. Hiroshi Hasegawa formed the…

**100 copies limited edition** "The idea behind Reiko is that it is a story about a city "scarred by the effects of climate change and burdened with the imminent threat of viruses" and a girl "who has her own demons. Anxiety, depression, a dead-end job. Wandering the streets, swallowed by a mass of commuters." Music for the end of times, but are we aware of this impending end? You could think this results in top-heavy depressing music, and while it is dark, it is not without hope. Nobuka has gue…

The 2014 debut solo collection by French wind-walker Baptiste Martin aka Les Halles remains a masterpiece of soft light and subdued yearning, woven from grainy panpipe samples, tape hiss, and spectral delay. Recorded late at night in a tiny room in Montpellier, Invisible Cities quivers like a candle by the sea, its fragile illumination flickering against an expanse of sky, silence, and sorrow. The pieces feel both ancient and immediate, glimpsing currents behind the veil, at the threshold of pre…

Continuum was a collaboration between Steven Wilson and Dirk Serries (VidnaObmana, Fear Falls Burning) that resulted in two releases, Continuum I (2005) and Continuum II (2007), originally issued by US label Soleilmoon in limited editions that sold out almost instantly.  The project was motivated by their immense passion for a wide-range of musical styles, ranging from spacious ambience to pounding doom metal. On 10th June 2016 both albums of their collaborative ambient and drone music project b…

Asmus Tietchens is a sound artist and composer from Hamburg, Germany. He got interested in Musique Concrete by listening to a German radio programme when he was 10 years old. In 1965, at the age of 18, Asmus started experimenting with tape loops and turned them into musical collages. Soon, the use of synthesizers was added. In 1980 his debut album Nachtstücke was released, produced by Peter Baumann of Tangerine Dream. This was soon followed by a series of albums of electronic pop music for the S…

An abandoned silence. Dreams of drifting, living a fatefull solitude. Wrapped around a grey and foaming voice, reaping impulse and mass like forgotten beats. Lost to countless days and nights, rocks and soil, sand and stars, in the sadness of being standing apart. Remember the rising flame from time long ago, a sound thqat shook deeply from the bottim of a boiling ocean. On e voice of Mother Magma, formless lava fashioned a primeval landscape. Ash, smoke and seething seas, a red-hot avalanche ca…

"David Jackman’s music, both as Organum and under his given name, is typically characterized by repetition, brevity and a deadpan aloofness. He’s made plenty of extremely short (sometimes one-sided) 7” singles, albums containing multiple slight variations on a single piece, and albums of compositional (if not sonic) minimalism. It’s Jackman’s typical move to provide very little information beyond a word, or sometimes an image. Lately, he’s been predisposed to not even providing an image; just as…
