Thousand Oceans
*100 copies limited edition* "My initial idea for this album was to create a sequel to "Above The Desert" and explore guitar drones again. I used to record guitar drones daily, but having a clear concept influenced the outcome. Listening to the recorded songs, I noticed an unexpected number of Fender-type guitars and fewer Les Pauls, my usual main instrument. I combined new guitar effects and processed the improvised material in various ways. In guitar drones, the difference between Gibson and F…
Ether Hymns
*2024 stock. 120 copies limited edition* Ether, in the literary sense, can be defined as 'the clear sky; the upper regions of air beyond the clouds.', or more informally as 'air regarded as a medium for radio'. Music, as well as the inspiration for it, are ephemeral in nature. In making this album, I often thought about the manner in which the sounds and patterns that form a piece of music are brought in to existence from nothingness. They drift into the listener's space, evolve over time, and d…
Above The Desert
*50 copies limited edition* "Our intention is to affirm this life, not to bring order out of chaos, nor to suggest improvements in creation, but simply to wake up to the very life we’re living, which is so excellent once one gets one’s mind and desires out of its way and lets it act of its own accord". - John Cage
"I recorded this album in the basement studio. I recorded the sound output from the guitar amp and the speaker. The sound seemed to be blowing. In this album I worked underground in th…
Tilwin
*150 copies limited edition* Tilwin (meaning 'colouring' in Maltese, Robert's native tongue) started being written during the summer of 2023 and was concluded on the last day of that year. The album reflects some major life events Robert Farrugia encountered throughout that same year. Tilwin is an attempt at embracing a period of lows and highs, an effort of encapsulating these experiences within recordings. Each event described here is coloured in Robert's mind by a 'hue', that was then reflect…
Walks
Opt for the path less trodden — allow yourself to stray from it, even — and you might find, buried in the bracken, deep in the trees, a shining modernist monolith. Liquid as a mirror, glinting in the leaf-broken sun, it lies in wait off the beaten tracks of North Yorkshire, South Wales, or the A508 out of Milton Keynes. Or perhaps it is all of these places simultaneously and none of them: an amalgam of the wayside walks of the British Isles, accessed only by the maps of the mind. Heeding the cal…
Performs Raymond Scott's Soothing Sounds for Baby
*200 copies limited edition* Dylan Henner (AD 93, Phantom Limb) returns to Dauw with 'Performs Raymond Scott’s Soothing Sounds for Baby’, a new album where he reinterprets a selection of Raymond Scott’s iconic work originally released in 1962. Artwork is provided by Skrew Studio in reference to the original releases.
The contributions of Raymond Scott to our world are immeasurable and pioneering, and his records still sound totally unique. But one could say that, viewed through the lens of what…
Associated Sine Tone Services
Associated Sine Tone Services (ASTS) is a new conceptual collaboration between analog oscillator wielders. This record was entirely generated using sine wave oscillators and an array of electronic filters, stacks, and processing. Although this project initially started with a bouquet of material put forth by Young to start, each track would eventually coalesce around the vision and momentum of one of the members individually, creating pocket productions that make the album in full, a diverse com…
OT/OT
*300 copies limited edition* Welcome to the third chapter of an enthralling musical journey led by Fabio Orsi and Maurizio Martinucci (aka TeZ), spanning across three albums. The adventure began in 2022 with the CD "OT/TO", followed by "TO/OT" the following year. In this latest release, a mesmerizing blend of sounds and emotions unfolds, drawing inspiration from a diverse array of elements. With a predominant vintage imprint, the album evokes echoes of electronic music from the '70s to the '90s,…
Rue des Garderies
Tip! Outsider ambient soundscape by two musicians from the Paris alternative : Désiré Bonaventure & Zach. An enchanted yet psychedelic dream-like ballad recorded in one take in an ephemeral delirium; borrowing from dub, drone, IDM & techno, reflecting singular inter-worlds and inviting us to join them. Rue des Garderies is a distillate produced by the spontaneous collaboration of Désiré Bonaventure and Zach, two musicians evolving in the Parisian alternative scenes and so named in homage to a fo…
Looping Around The Forest I Thought I Remembered
*2024 stock* Hakobune released this cassette in 2014 on the venerable American ambient label Constellation Tatsu. 10th Anniversary Cassette. This reissue can be distinguished from the original release by the lack of screws in the cassette shell.
P:R:I:S:M

Dwell Time
*200 copies.* Dwell Time focuses on the moments in between. Expanding on Satie’s Furniture Music, which explores the role of music as a backdrop, Dwell Time explores the moments in between active and passive listening. A sound that maintains a unique balance of properties can start as an active relationship that slowly dissolves into the background and accompanies a listener over its course. The Dwell Time signal remains completely analog, utilizing homemade tape samples and hardware synthesizer…
Embryology
*2024 stock. 200 copies lmiited edition* With their roots in India and Sweden respectively, Daljit Kundi and Ludvig Cimbrelius met in the sphere of UK music culture. With Daljit growing up in Birmingham, and Ludvig having been heavily influenced by the influx of innovative electronic music from the British isles, it was in the realms of ambient jungle that the musical duo first set sail together. Their debut release ‘Timeless Travellers’ is an intergalactic voyage undertaken in the spirit of inn…
Paris Paris, Texas Texas
*200 copies limited edition* OOH-sounds family members more eaze, pardo & glass join forces on a celestial album linking ambient neo-folk, fractured electronics and romantic escapism. Referencing to Wim Wenders' 1984 road-movie drama masterpiece, ‘paris paris, texas texas’ is a strikingly cinematic tapestry of americana, resampled guitars, glistening electronics, subtle field recordings and processed vocals. The beginnings of this project date back to the summer of 2022 when pardo and glass star…
Melodies From A Dead Radio
*2024 stock. 300 copies limited edition* "An intriguing title is a great start, and from the very first track, Melodies from a Dead Radio delivers on its promise. One would imagine said melodies to be static-filled, ghostly, out of focus, difficult to comprehend. The shortwave radio burst of “Globes” is a series of words that sounds like ignition, a spark struggling to break through. Warbles and drones surround the transmission, choking it into non-existence. Perhaps Jeff Barsky (Insect Fact…
To belong
*200 copies limited edition* The limited 7" edition of marine eyes' latest full-length ambient record 'to belong' hears a distilling of the original fourteen-track record down to just four selections. Though every track on the digital version of the album works in its own right, the choice on offer here - 'Hushed', 'Of The West', 'Bluest' and 'Call & Answer' - are particularly deserving of the study on wax. Something static, nigh time-crystalline is achieved on the B2, with its held root note ev…
Reveries
Reveries is Zach Frizzell, Marc Ertel and Damien Duque’s first album for over three years, and follows the success of their debut Liberamente. Together, the trio craft delicately textured and slowly unfurling sonic vistas, occupying a unique aural domain that lies between guitar-driven drone music and modern classical compositions. With their individual projects they are incredibly prolific, but Dawn Chorus releases are few and far between and Reveries represents a refined evolution, leaning mor…
Algida Bellezza
*2024 stock* The year 2013 was very important for the recording career of the founder and artistic director of Glacial Movements, Alessandro Tedeschi aka Netherworld. 2013 represented the release of the album "Alchemy of Ice”, which received many positive reviews the music press internationally. In the following years the artist from Rome signed another work "Zastrugi" (2015) for the label’s Iceberg series devoted to techno / dub. Subsequently there was the album "Himuro" (2017), composed with E…
Domus
*300 copies limited edition CD in 6-panel digisleeve* There are roads, paths that inevitably end up joining and there is not always an explanation that is dictated by a precise logic. in fact, there can be many reasons why one decides to take a common path, and in a musical world - which is extremely fragmented - one does not exclude chance or even the sum or escalation of those favourable circumstances that sometimes seem to be inevitable. Thus a simple empathic trigger was all that was needed,…
Valediction
Synthesizers, Tape Recorders and Analog Machines come together into an
enchanting atmospheric album reminiscent of Eno´s, Jarre´s or Vangelis´
space-romantic compositions.
