Founded in 1992 after Robin Storey left Zoviet France, Rapoon soon became an outstanding ethno-dark ambient project that has gained a cult following all over the world. More than 80 albums have been released over those nearly 30 years, some more beat driven, others more playful and with ambient sounds and ethnic influences. Rapoon has never stopped evolving - think of Cultural Forgeries, an album full of unplugged acoustic music. Or Downgliding, full of compositions on the piano. Recent Klanggal…

Very rare original copy in great condition of the 1st album from 1972 on the Vertigo swirl label by meditative minimalist composer Peter Michael Hamel. A trippy 2xLP masterpiece with gatefold sleeve.

Martin Glass had been a surprise choice for the commission. It was the Spring of 1977 and two Interstellar Mariners were to be sent hurtling into deep space. Glass was to provide weekly "sonologues" of their progress, audio diarist for a pair of mute mechanical adventurers. Delivered with a near fanatical diligence over the course of nearly three decades, these stuttering musical biographies would soon bewilder those who had first asked for them. Martin's work, they judged, had begun to plot its…

Erik Klinga presents "Elusive Shimmer," the first installment in a trilogy of albums released by the Thanatosis label. On his debut, the Swedish electroacoustic composer offers a euphoric, celestial body of work, with the Buchla 200 synthesizer as the primary source of sound. Combined with delicate field recordings and pipe organ performances, the eight tracks here burst with melodic poignance and glow with incandescent brilliance. The opening track awakens like the first rays of dawn, with wind…

Loris S. Sarid is a Rome born musician and sound designer living in Glasgow (Scotland). Music for Tomato Plants was born while taking care of a little tomato plant, grown on the windowsill of his flat during the winter 2020. The album is a homage to the unapparent courage of simplicity, and the beauty and lightness of the most ordinary things. “In the same spirit of Mort Garson, Green-House and others who synthesize the natural and musical worlds, this ambient serenade for tomato plants is a wel…

The Tonarium is an idiosyncratic instrument comprising of two sets of modular synthesizers: Serge by Random Source, and another one by Bugbrand, both of which operate alongside a mixer constructed by Piotr Ceglarek and Jan Dybata. This intertwinement facilitates precise control over audio and CV signals and integrates technology with analog sound, offering the artists a distinctive sonic palette to delve into.

Peaceful electronic ambient and tribal echo environments. Music that explores feelings of calm, spirituality, and ceremony. Long-form voyages to temple meditations, “trips in search of something,” looking in as looking out. The artist himself says: “This is an attempt to look into the heads and souls of "unnecessary" people, inconspicuous people, but striving to make the world a better place. People who have lost the horizon and the outlines of reality are desperate and stuck in the middle of no…

*300 copies limited edition* Man Rei’s music traces plaintive states, haunted by hazy memories and heavy musings held in suspension. With its resonant loops, dazed iterations and eternal returns, ‘Thread’ weaves a gorgeously blurred portrait of restlessness, desire and longing. The album grew around loungey ballad 'Call', first heard on last year’s ‘The Blue Hour’ compilation and serving as this collection’s tender heart. The gauzy vocals and low-lit instrumentation of ‘Call’ diffuse across ‘Thr…

Inspired by a life long obsession of dub, synth, industrial and different kinds of minimalism, "Extended Player" 12"EP by The Idealist is a tribute to these inspirations aswell as an attempt to move forward or elsewhere. This is experimental techno and electronic music from an artist that is freely moving between drone and noise to this. Party music for professionals.

On "Not Around But Through", Portland-based experimental musician and tape wizard Amulets
 navigates the process of acceptance and the tumultuous journey of looking within. Over the course of 8 tracks he explores the emotional path of moving through rather than circumventing, in the process soundtracking a purposeful desire to face trauma and vulnerability. Infusing his trademark ambient soundscapes with ambitious blends of post-hardcore, emo, and metal, "Not Around But Through" connects the dot…

*250 copies limited edition* "Langt Fra Jorden" is the result of the dialogue between the Spanish photographer and artist Irene Zottola and the Danish musician and artist øjeRum initiated by IIKKI, between June 2024 and November 2024. øjeRum is Copenhagen based musician and collage artist Paw Grabowski. In his øjeRum guise, he plucks and strums his treated acoustic instruments, sounding at times like church bells, at times like angelic harp, at time like drones, and suspends the listener in the …

Black Truffle is thrilled to begin 2025 with a rare solo release from Konrad Sprenger, alias of elusive Berlin composer-producer-instrument builder Jörg Hiller. A prolific collaborator, Sprenger has worked extensively with icons of American minimalism such as Ellen Fullman (with whom her recorded the gloriously eccentric song album Ort) and Arnold Dreyblatt (as a core member of the Orchestra of Excited Strings since 2009), as well as releasing their music on his impeccably curated label, Choose.…

'Cupar Grain Silo' is Sam Annand's first release on the Blackford Hill label. Its nine tracks blur the lines between ambient electronica and sonic history, as synthesised melodies and rhythms reverberate through the extreme acoustics of the disused Cupar Grain Silo in Scotland. Built in 1964 as a sugar store, the silo towers 60 metres above the surrounding Fife countryside. Its industrial life was short: in 1971 it was closed, and barring a short period as a grain store, remained empty for decad…

Peter Rehberg is known for his pioneering electronic work with computer software which over time evolved into a modular set up alongside running Mego and then Editions Mego labels.

Big tip! *50 copies limited edition* nobile, one half of the former Milanese duo Voronoi, presents a new series of recordings of ephemeral ambient soundscapes, organic throbs and broken rhythmic textures that sublimate the more instinctual and playful side of his poetics.
 The project is haunted by cavernous sounds and an obsession with the 'netherworld' of the videogame Minecraft, and by Le Matin des Magiciens - the classic and revolutionary book that popularised occultism, alchemy and paranorm…

In these early Pragma works, sound artist TeZ channels a primal industrial and electronic spirit, blending cosmic and concrete sonic elements to guide the listener through alien, pagan landscapes marked by entropic rhythms and magical atmospheres. For the third edition of this lathe-cut release, TeZ invited Sumus (formerly Psychick Warriors of Gaia) to contribute their masterfully fragmented collages of acoustic wonders, adding a unique dimension to the work.

*2024 stock. 40 copies limited edition* Kaset Hitam (Indonesian for “Black Cassette”) is Sjoerd Bruil. All tracks were recorded while being on the road in various busses and trains on a tour through France and the Benelux countries.

Coming down the mountain to the sea… A meeting of enigmatic minds, STROM|MORTS and venoztks, at The Summerhouse on the coast of southern England gave rise to an alliance – "beards vs bald"; venoztks using unprocessed short wave channelled through modular synth, guitar pedals and other unknown physical and non-physical devices which were lost in the maelstrom. The result is just downright peculiar. But with charm; "Hotel Echo" echoes and channels earlier insane attempts to dance to farmersmanual.…

Jonas Torstensen returns to Discreet Music with the second Franciska album, following up the much praised Tryghed (Discreet Music 12) that was released in early 2023. Since Tryghed came out, Franciska has quickly become an established forefront of a young, new generation of Scandinavian experimental DIY musicians. This time a joint effort with his longtime friend and collaborator Camille Helt Haarder, the new album is dedicated to their shared hometown Odense in Denmark. Mainly based on piano lo…

*20 copies limited edition* New release on Econore by Nils Quak. Xeroxed covers on 40-year old recycled paper.

”Yellow Freqs,” the second cassette release by Jan-Erik Viitakoski, unveils a sonic tapestry that resurrects the forgotten gems of Finnish minimalism. As an archival treasure, this album showcases Viitakoski’s early foray into both synthetic and piano compositions, offering a rare glimpse into his experimental genius. The various sound quality (some being low, some rather high depending on the tape in question) compositions resonate with an eerie atmosphere, a haunting beauty transcending time, …

If during the early years of his long and prolific artistic activity, Fabio Orsi made extensive use of acoustic and concrete sound sources in his music, often painting very 'earthly' environmental realms, more recently he has definitively 'taken off', abandoning the earth to search for scenarios made of a purely synthetic matrix, building a myriad of dense electronic textures and pulsations, projected into the infinite and unexplored spaces of the universe. This double CD collects a series of "s…

"Below/Light" by Filer Coleman is a selection of ambient works by Jim Filer Coleman. It represents an antidote, or perhaps a counterpart, to the more aggressive music that he may be more known for such as Cop Shoot Cop and Human Impact. These tracks were recorded over a span of a few years, slowly evolving and seeking definition. Electrocoustic in nature, the approach was always exploratory and playful, searching for balance and connection with the natural world. Jim Coleman was an instrumental …

After two albums on A Strangely Isolated Place as Comit, James Clements brings his ASC alias to the label with a completely new and revealing style, focusing on the piano and creating space for the listener to construct their own associations with an imaginary Soundtrack. Bridging the majority of Electronic styles over the past twenty years, from Autonomic and Jungle, to Ambient, Techno and IDM, James Clements can be held up as a master of these styles by many of us, but when it comes to boiling…

*Dubbed on TDK Chrome Tapes - very good quality!* Two long-form pieces evolving around experimental  sampling and noticeably draws inspiration from the sharp digital sounds of the 2000s. Notably, these sounds doesn't lack the inorganicness and sterility that often are a synonym with the early digital era. From my perspective these two pieces reflect glimpses of wild articulative freedom from a otherwise verysimplistic language.

Bomb! 200 copies, clear vinyl. Valuable vinyl reissue for this historic four-handed work by Gigi Masin and Giuseppe Caprioli. The concept of multitude combined with the figure/symbol of the labyrinth suggests orders of thought relating to the multiple states of being that inhabit the dark labyrinths of the soul, the hidden regions of the human psyche. All in Multitude In Labyrinth leads us to look for keys to understanding the ultimate meaning of a test as enigmatic as it is powerful. A congerie…

A primitive live bootleg from Alba Liv and Franciska recently recorded. Double sided J-card, and recycled tape.

"Reflex" is Gábor Lázár's debut album on Raster. His new album is a collection of seven tracks, featuring an extended sound palette of percussions and synthesizers drawing our attention towards the essential soundscapes of techno while maintaining his distinct, uncompromising and meticulously detailed style. While the tracks do not follow traditional narratives, the album has an evolution: it gently builds up from challenging, unpredictable, and organically composed structures to linear yet play…
