Nāsūr, the new album by Arash Akbari, expands his vocabulary of austere drone and emotional abstraction. Released in 2025, it blends granular synthesis, degraded tape atmospherics, and muted harmonic motion to evoke the residue of wounds—emotional and historical—that never fully heal. The result is a haunting essay in texture, silence, and persistence.

Recorded in a single day in 2022 at McDowall's Brooklyn studio, then mixed and remixed across three years and three cities. There is no organ anywhere on it: the sound is Karplus-Strong synthesis, a filtered delay line modelling a plucked string, tuned in just intonation and pushed through distortion.

This is an unreleased and “lost” new album by Deison and Mingle conceived in 2014 /15 right after the recording and the release of their debut collaboration-album "Everything Collapse[d]". After the passing of Andrea Gastaldello (“Mingle”) in 2021 and founding these forgotten tracks led us to think that this work should have been listened to understand the essence of the original album. Published by a co-production of three label who have released various works by the duo in the past (Loud!, Fin…

Control captures Conrad Schnitzler at a pivotal moment in his solo career, with recordings made between 1979-1981 at his home studio in Berlin. Following his departure from Kluster and his brief tenure with Tangerine Dream, Schnitzler had fully committed to his vision of electronic music as pure sonic exploration. Where Convex explored minimalist repetition and icy atmospheres, Control reveals a different facet of Schnitzler's artistry. The album showcases intriguing electronic patterns, tape ma…

Conrad Schnitzler was a prolific German experimental musician and co-founder of West Berlin's Zodiak Free Arts Lab, an early member of Tangerine Dream and founder of the band Kluster.

Originally released as a private pressing in 1982, Convex stands as one of Schnitzler's most compelling and underrated works. A minimalist album composed of shrill loops and disso…

Electronic minimalism at its most hypnotic and uncompromising. Released in 1981 on Edition Block, this is pure Schnitzler—no concessions, no commerciality, just the sonic vision of one of Germany's most radical electronic pioneers. Former Tangerine Dream and Kluster member Schnitzler strips away all excess, constructing strange, pulsating soundworlds from primitive synthesizers and tape manipulation. Grün unfolds like a series of sonic experiments, each track a self-contained universe of repetit…

"Beginning" is, appropriately enough, the world-wide solo debut by Japanese percussionist Mari Sekine. She has been active since 2000 with numerous groups and artists, as well as providing music for the theatre.

2025 stock German conceptualist Ditterich von Euler-Donnersperg—alias the polymath Uli Rehberg—returns with "Der Kleine Fritz In Klopstockland," a release as enigmatic as its creator and as cryptic as the label that hosts it, the fabled Walter Ulbricht Schallfolien. As with much of Rehberg’s output, the boundaries between sound art, musique concrète, and dadaist narrative dissolve into a singularly strange proto-surrealist zone. "Der Kleine Fritz In Klopstockland" oscillates between spoken …

Tip! Meidän täytyy valvoa jottemme nukkuisi, sillä maailma on liukas is Pietu Arvola’s first album under his own name. The album was created during a year of loss and a remarkably grey time when most of the formerly distinctive seasons coalesced into a seemingly endless rainy period. Field recordings captured in the last natural forests of southern Finland are interwoven with the swirls of microtonal bells and disorienting clatters. Acoustic and synthetic sounds are detached from their sources, …

1994 release ** "Tuu is one of those bands that manages to straddle the seemingly disparate worlds of traditional ethnic music and ambient electronica, somewhat the same way that African Head Charge and Mouth Music do, but with very different results. In this case, the interactions between synthesist Mykl O'Dempsey, exotic percussionist Martin Franklin, and flutist Rebecca Lublinski (who spends most of her time on either the bansuri or the Chinese flute) result in a music that is dark and strang…

*100 copies limited edition* Almost An Island marks the first collaboration between musician and producer Kenneth James Gibson and the husband-and-wife duo James and Cynthia Bernard. Gibson's career is a mosaic of sounds and ideas—so varied it might seem like the work of several artists, yet unmistakably his. From the widescreen psych-folk of Bell Gardens (with the late Brian McBride of Stars of the Lid), to the fractured electronics of Eight Frozen Modules, to intimate solo ambient albums and e…
