Koyaanisqatsi
Koyaanisqatsi is the soundtrack album to Godfrey Reggio’s 1982 experimental film. Composed by Philip Glass, the music accompanies a montage of stark, contemplative imagery without narration, aligning minimalist motifs with evolving cinematic sequences. The CD presents a suite of instrumental pieces that mirror the film’s themes of balance, urbanization, and nature, making it a standalone minimalist work as well as a companion to the visuals.

Die Regeninsel
*200 copies limited edition* Dirk Serries collaborated with his dear friend and musical comrade, the legendary experimental composer, Asums Tietchens for the 6th time. Germany’s Attenuation Circuit released the album officially today !
“With Dirk Serries and Asmus Tietchens, attenuation brings together two towering figures of experimental sound. Serries—known for Vidna Obmana and Fear Falls Burning—has been a key force in shaping (dark) ambient, while also maintaining a presence in free jazz. Ti…
Leavings
*200 copies limited edition* Following the acclaimed previous album "Transcend", which seamlessly traversed experimental electronics and obscure Techno-infused structures, Frederic Arbour returns with his most daring and transformative work to date. "Leavings" marks a decisive departure from established forms. Where its predecessor gradually evolved through recognisable rhythmic frameworks and narrative progression, this new album ventures into increasingly abstract territories, dissolving conv…
zakè (20th Anniversary Edition)
Although this is zakè’s debut release on PITP (2019), these arrangements were originally created in 2006. Sharing a fitting description of the label name with the release, it truly is the ‘Past Inside the Present’. These time-worn selections unfold like a slow-moving cascade, quiet, delicate, and gracefully drifting. The understated arrangements weave together warm, ambient drones that shift from faint lo-fi textures, while sinewy mid-tonal synths sway between idle afternoon reflections and hazy…
In A Small Room, Decades Ago
“Hanging in the chill out rooms of the 1990’s rave scene inspired me to create my first ambient album, Atmospherics over 30 years ago. For this album I wanted to journey back and create a love letter to those magical times, and the energy that was felt in those small rooms decades ago.” - JB
Pasteland Beyond The Clouds
Chinese ambient electronic duo Pasteland Beyond The Clouds (云土境) has officially announced the international release of their self-titled double-CD album via the Sad Disco label. Formed in 2016 in the creative haven of Dali by multi-instrumentalists Huanqing (歓慶) and Liao Kai (廖凱), the project initially gained critical acclaim in China under Modern Sky’s avant-garde BadHead imprint. This globally available edition introduces the duo’s expansive sonic universe to a wider audience, solidifying thei…
Still Beauty
With Still Beauty, PITP label head zakè (Zach Frizzell) and California-based marine eyes (Cynthia Bernard) present a suite of lovingly constructed pieces that combine organic, tape-saturated drones with angelic, spacious vocals and a host of other texturally nuanced instrumentation. Building on the hushed promises of their collaborative debut, Unfailing Love (2021), the two artists immerse us in the processes of loss, grief, and renewal, spiriting us through overlapping shadows into newfound lig…
Lila
*40 copies limited edition* On Lila, his debut LP, Moroccan artist Karim presents a series of undulating electronic rhythms laser-etched into tessellated form: drumless techno from the pre-Sahara, built for communal psychic expansion. Drumless, yes, but not percussionless. There are shakers, castanets, stabs, plonks, thuds. There are insistent basslines propelling forward, pulsing with energy, rippling in time. There are tones interlocking, rolling, fluttering, pattering. Dancing within, around,…
El Sol de los Muertos
*150 copies limitede edition* Originally released on Umor Rex on cassette a year ago, “El Sol de los Muertos” deeply shaped the evolution and vision of Mexican producer Concepción Huerta’s sonic work, becoming a reference point for a kind of experimental sound deeply connected to Latin American critical thought. This is the second album in a series of four special, limited reissues to be released in 2026 to mark the 20th anniversary of Umor Rex.
Crafted entirely through subharmonic structures an…
Nusa
*200 copies limited edition* "Nusa" is the last part of a trilogy started in 2020 with Masao Yamamoto and Akira Uchida. A project that began with light (“Sasanami”, 2020), moved through darkness (“Kurayami”, 2023), and returned to the ambivalence of the two (“Nusa”, 2026), which ultimately sustain and complement one another in all their variations and complementarities. Both in terms of tones and in the humanity that runs through us in these times of such stark contrast. For this last part of th…
La Manzana Mágica
One of 12k’s most endearing artists is back with a new album. From Argentina, Federico Durand presents La Manzana Mágica, an album in signature Federico style inspired by his collection of Cinderlla stamps, in a way only Federico could do. Named after the folk-tale heroine, Cinderellas, throughout the last century, were considered inferior to official postage stamps, but became a sought-after collector’s item. There are some pieces whose origin, circulation context, or illustrator’s name are unk…
Dedicate to Forget
Thomas Carney, also active as Giugno and as sound technician mixing and mastering in an audio spectrum going from techno to hardcore punk, delivers here seven delicate blossoms recorded while traveling Europe and in NYC. Fragmentary poetry, with a firm, translucent style, drawing a faint but significant line of demarcation from his previous releases on No Rent and Trust Collective.
Driving Through Belgium
*300 copies limited edition* There is a particular kind of strangeness that arrives on long drives across Europe. Flat light, service stations and fields stretching endlessly past the window. It might look mundane at first glance, but becomes faintly surreal when the tiredness of touring blurs the edges of everything. That feeling became the quiet engine behind Driving Through Belgium, the debut solo album from Anton Pearson, best known as one of the guitarists in respected post-punk outfit Squi…
Before Sunset, Street Corner, Cafe Fabre
A collaborative album by two Japanese electronic and experimental legends! Yasushi Yamashita, 1/2 of the renowned duo Inoyama Land, pioneers of ambient and Kankyō Ongaku, and Asuna, author of the renowned concert/performance "100 Keyboards" numerous solo albums, and a critically acclaimed LP recorded with Jan Jelinek. Two generations of Japanese electronic pioneers on one album.
Romantiq
*2026 stock* The music of Markus Popp is endlessly curious. Since the early 90s his pioneering albums as Oval have continually excavated new spaces in electronic music, leaving an indelible mark on the landscape. Popp’s playful and singular approach to sound has continually left critics and peers alike confounded by his ability to conjure such lithe, evocative sonics from software. Celebrated collaborations with Jan St. Werner as Microstoria remain foundational texts in underground music, while …
Live at Pe:rsona
From the edges of a hallucinatory torpor, Rue des Garderies continue their explorations in psychedelia — Femacosmé presents here a new piece recorded live at the Pe:rsona festival, at Domaine des Éveils in the summer of 2025. An adventure guided by blur, the intangible, the impermanent, where layers, voices, sounds, and organic and synthetic echoes resonate, emerge, then fade away — as if to deceive reality, or at least our perception of it. More than two semi-improvised hours in which Rue des G…
The Empty Rose
Chihei Hatakeyama, captivating the world with his beautiful ambient/drone works, and Ken Ikeda, an original improvisational musician radiating a unique presence. This work, both artists spent approximately ten years recording and meticulously editing down to the finest details, explores the theme of “a mental landscape where distorted dreams and crumbling daily life intersect, where anxiety and darkness seep into the cracks, and faint light flickers within the depths of silence.” A total of 16 i…
Electronic Music 1994-2021
*2026 stock* For this album I have assembled a collection of contrasting works from the archives. Some have previously been released, others not. Three pieces: Sculptor, Touche pas, and Bubble chamber are based on the microsound techniques of granular synthesis and micro-montage. By contrast, Modulude, Clang-tint, and Still life were conceived before my microsound period. For any given piece, my compositional practice usually takes years. For example, Modulude was initially conceived in 1998 and…
