Electronic / Soundscapes

Although humans possess language as a means of communication, we sometimes hurt each other simply by intending to. In war, bullets kill people. If we consider words to be like bullets, they can be violent and cause mental suffering. However, when communication causes problems, the only way to solve them is through more communication. I thought: wouldn't it be wonderful if those bullets could turn into flowers instead? In everyday life, when we talk, laugh and share moments with friends and famil…

“Variable,” an album by Hybrid Leisureland－the project of Hidetoshi Koizumi, who has been active as an electronica and ambient composer and arranger since his debut in Paris, France, in 2010－is now available on CD.

The title “Number Face'' comes from my wish for a peaceful world where individual values and ways of thinking are respected. No one in the world is the same or has the same face. Just like our environments, what we like, what we don't like, what we're good at, and what we value are different. I would be happy if you could realize that no two people are the same, that means you are unique, and that each of you is important. In this album, "Number Face," the music expresses a sympathy with the var…

This 12-track album is the artist's first album released after changing from his stage name to his real name, Hidetoshi Koizumi. The songs were composed with the hope that they would be an opportunity for listeners to receive "signals" they need. Signals are everywhere. When aware of them, they touch the listener and evoke emotions and thoughts relating to various things around them that have influenced them. In life, we all are influenced by things such as the environment, nature, and other peo…

Sixteen audio scenes answering the long-exposure photographs of Brice Bischoff: cassette recordings of canyons, caves and ravines, reshaped in the studio with film-style spatial effects. Mastered by Giuseppe Ielasi.

r beny returns with feedback memory, a new five-track album that moves through delicate textures, melodic fragments, and gradual shifts in atmosphere.The album opens with the concise title track, “feedback memory,” followed by “suspended in the lilt of desire” and “sursum corda.” “glittered in thaw” offers a brief, shimmering interlude before the album closes with the expansive “late fragment,” a 20-minute piece that gives the record its longest stretch of open-ended space.r beny is the ambient …

Omni Gardens is the experimental ambient/new age project by Moon Glyph head Steve Rosborough. Recorded at home in Portland during the early days of covid, "Moss King" is relaxed home listening for difficult times. The first Omni Gardens release, “West Coast Escapism”, was expansive with a broad selection of soothing synth tones and morphing samples. In contrast, "Moss King" is a smaller, more intimate affair, full of fuzzy new age moog drifters and self-captured field recordings. The tracks boun…

Scanner reworks an hour of Nurse with Wound material into six pieces named after homeopathic remedies: radio static, processed voices and squeaky guitars in an echoing maze. Double vinyl, the fourth side etched by Babs Santini.

*150 copies limited edition* Overleaf is the new album by Paris-based musician Théo Martin, following Anti Atlas, released on Laaps two years ago. Overleaf was recorded over the course of a few intense months in 2026. Every recording made during this period eventually found its place within the album, transformed, fragmented and reassembled, sometimes far removed from its original form. The process gradually became a kind of puzzle, built from accumulated sounds, accidents and imperfections. Tap…

On either side of the globe, two seminal experimental artists collaborate for the first time: UK composer Richard Skelton and Australian artist Lawrence English meet for Noon, a devastating study of greyscale landscapes, deep sonics, and long-distance unity. “When we first started speaking together, back in 2021, it was a moment of contemplation,” writes Brisbane-based Lawrence English. “The world had quietened, the throws of a pandemic had hushed the ambient noise floor and in doing so had some…

*150 copies limitede edition* Originally released by Umor Rex on cassette in 2018, Rafael Anton Irisarri’s Sirimiri is now available on vinyl for the first time, newly remastered for this edition.

"In the dream, people didn't need water any more. People's minds became computer chips made of stone." (August in the Water, dir. Sōgo Ishii, 1995) There is a pivotal scene in “August in the Water” where the surface of a pool turns into a stone wall. The water that gave the protagonist's life its meaning becomes a threat. As you fall through this stone wall, you appear in a set of underwater coral-reef corridors, and one of the most beautiful musical themes begins to play: Aquatic Ambience, comp…

*35 copies limited edition* Written during a time of fracture and crisis, this album is about looking for a wonder in the cracks. It’s about embracing the flawed and the frail, positing that if re-enchantment is possible, it will sprout from the small things. Built from gentle field recordings and analogue synthesizers, it offers music as a talisman; a warm, homespun garment for uncertain days.

*35 copies limited edition* On Fioritures, Lamasz offers his debut for Le Mont Analogue, transforming fragments of classical music into a quietly immersive work. Rooted in material drawn from thrifted cassettes, the six pieces unfold through looping motifs that drift and dissolve, gently enriched with drones, field recordings, and tape textures. The result is a cohesive, meditative reverie, where each moment slowly erodes into a suspended, near-weightless state.

*100 copies limited edition* Explorations into dreamy, texturally rich environments and dub flavoured landscapes through the use of rhythm and subtle melody.

When Japanese artist Masayoshi Fujita was invited to create the soundtrack for Expo 2025’s vast living nature installation, Forest of Tranquility, he immediately envisioned a relaxing public space in which visitors could tune out the noise and restore their energies. Inside this green open-air sanctuary – visited by millions of people during the landmark Osaka event, which ran for six months – stood a central pond and 1,500 real trees, all rescued and repurposed from Expo’s former ‘70 site and o…

*300 copies limited edition* Long Slow Distance is an album about finding peace, and making peace where it can’t be found. It’s inspired by change, grief, acceptance, forgiveness, love, and running. Dawson began running around the same time he started making records. At this point it’s unclear where one practice ends and the other begins. The album’s title has become the ethos he’s embraced for all things in life. Long Slow Dance unravels the woven collage of his previous work. Here each song co…

'Quiet Pieces' initiates Abul Mogard’s personal imprint Soft Echoes with a definitive self-portrait of calm, contemplative, and discreet inner landscapes made audible. It is the first solo album on vinyl in four years.

With Statica Memoria, zakè returns to Affin for his third solo album. Over the past years, his work with the label has developed into a distinct and continuing body of work, shaped by an ongoing exploration of duration, resonance and the spaces that emerge when sound is given enough time to unfold. zakè has developed a particular way of approaching long-form ambient music. His compositions create an open environment in which listening can move freely between close attention and complete absorpti…

Seven years after 2019’s ‘The Dusk Loom’, Petrels returns with a pair of new albums, Infangthief and Outfangthief. The first of these releases, Infangthief, was originally written and recorded in 2022, before being reworked in light of a subsequent album, Outfangthief, due to be released later this year. The two albums act as companion pieces, mirrors revealing facets of the other, overlapping in sound and subject matter. Though Outfangthief may have been written after Infangthief, it is no mere…

*100 copies limited edition* Vigilant is the solo project of Dmitry Polivenko, a musician and sound artist from Voronezh, Russia.

Drawing from experimental, ambient, and industrial influences, Vigilant creates evocative compositions that balance raw sonic exploration with a stron…

The Current Above - Immersion Seven embraces the sonic senses within a beautifully expansive 76-minute steady-state zone. Designed for infinite low-volume playback, the album’s sole track “The Current Above” continues the evolution of the long-form immersion series of intimate ambient recordings Steve began in the late-90s. The caress of slowly-unfolding cascades of shimmering textures and diaphanous atmospherics makes for the ideal soundworld for one’s habitat. It’s a delicate and nurturing env…

*150 copies limited edition* “Of Grey Grounds” explores an intermediate state, neither alive nor dead, neither fully real nor entirely abstract. The “grey grounds” are conditions of existence shaped by erosion, repetition, and absence. The album moves through inner and cosmic landscapes stripped of identity, where everything is reduced to trace, echo, or residue. Matter loses definition; forms dissolve into a suspended continuum where memory and perception can no longer preserve clear contours. …

*200 copies limited edition* Los Angeles, 2019. Early days of October. The boys behind Ecovillage and Purl met for the first time in 3D. Their meeting in a city of dreams and dreamers seemed orchestrated by divine forces, just a few months before the world shut down. Everything seemed possible. The air was thick with magic and every day ripe with transformation, whether in heartfelt moments on stage, leaning over the edge into the unknown, or on spontaneous adventures such as a day-long hike in …

Formerly recording as Airport People, the Indianapolis-based artist has spent years refining a patient, understated approach that feels both immediate and nostalgic.

For many years I’ve been obsessed with the music coming out of the small circle around the label The Catbox Corporation, Who has been putting out amazing music in relative obscurity for 25 years. I’m very happy to present the first recording of a new project by label owner Marc Kelaway and close collaborator Tanja Jessen. One hour of vast drone landscapes for guitar, organ and electronics. Sometimes reminiscent of projects like Family Underground or My Cat Is An Alien, but mostly a product of th…

*200 copies limited edition* After the highly acclaimed albums 'Elegant, Golden' (2022) and ‘For the Summer, or Forever’ (2018), both released by Dronarivm, British producer Ryan Bissett, aka Halftribe, returns with his new work 'Disappear in Silent Ways'. Immersive, swirling so-longs and dreamy, murmured goodbyes…

*100 copies limited edition* Laconic haze, ethereal curiosities, nostalgic glimpses and fictional illusions. Northern Irish Halftribe’s (Ryan Bisset’s) third album arrives punctually to soundtrack the coming summer – or eternity, apparently, if you like. It is indeed suitably warm and familiar stuff, going straight for the bliss-out button with dreamy, droning pieces mixing airy synths and calm field recordings.

*35 copies limited edition* 'Behind the Pane' is an album built around an intimate feeling: the warmth and safety of being inside the house while the outside world turns into rain, snow, wind, or twilight beyond the glass. Across its 8 pieces, the album explores ethereal soundscapes, delicate textures, and small details and artifacts that appear and disappear like reflections in a window. Each track seeks to capture that contrast between shelter and exposure: the protected silence of the interio…

Italian sound artist Giulio Aldinucci returns with his 5th album on KARL: „Materia” is unsurprisingly a truly masterfully composed and sound-designed ambient masterpiece that adds perfectly to a series of critically acclaimed albums like “Disappearing In A Mirror” (2018) or “Shards Of Distant Times” – some of which made it onto several year’s best lists.

*200 copies limited edition* Glacial Movements, an ambient and electronic music label founded in Rome in 2006 by Alessandro Tedeschi (Netherworld), celebrates its 20th anniversary with the release of “The Hermit,” a collection of restored archival recordings from the early 2000s. These recordings, originally stored on deteriorated CD-r and Minidisc formats, were recovered and restored to reveal early experimental sounds full of mystery and emotional depth. These earliest sound experiments emerge…

*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…

*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…

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…

*200 copies limited edition. Carefully handcrafted case and a small booklet inside.* Spazio Notte is the result of Valerio Cosi's musical work, featuring the contribution of writer Angelo Ferracuti, who explores the theme of travel in his unpublished story, “Tra le nuvole e il nulla.” Cosi delves into what is known as the hauntological subculture, a dimension of reality that, as the term suggests (a combination of "haunting" and "ontology," coined by Jacques Derrida and later developed by Mark F…

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…
