Club Moral 1981 - 1986

Club Moral was founded by visual artist Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven (AMVK) and performance artist Danny Devos (DDV) in Antwerp on January 1st, 1981. For over a decade it functioned simultaneously as venue, noise band, publishing house, and lightning…
Subtraction in spiral
Japanese experimental sound artist kent watari debuts on Phantom Limb with new album subtraction in spiral, coding deep sonics to quantum-percussion and collapsing, post-IDM glitchscapes based on a meticulously constructed metaphysical thought experiment. “This work is centred around a very personal philosophical model,” writes kent watari (b. Tokyo, 1993). “I have constructed a metaphysical model of thought, employing concepts from philosophy and science. This thought model centres on a recursi…
Organic Shelter

Human Hair
*100 copies limited edition* Two pillars of New York's underground converge. Human Hair brings together Pat Murano and Richard Hoffman - both long-running fixtures of the city's most uncompromising experimental scenes - for an album that slithers, coils, and eventually leaves you floating in open space before you realize the lifeline has slipped from your hands.
The pedigree here is formidable. Hoffman's work with Sightings (one of the best bands to ever emerge from NYC, full stop), Insayngel, a…
Ted
*100 copies limited edition* A restless voyage on an electronic ocean of infinite sound. With TED, Brooklyn's Daksina label delivers one of its most ambitious and unclassifiable releases yet - a sprawling two-part journey through LIN11C's dense universe of fractured electronics, spectral voices, and orchestral wreckage.
Across two extended pieces totaling over thirty minutes, TED unfolds like a transmission from some waterlogged future. Clarion calls ring out across cavernous spaces while ghost…
Pushovers
*150 copies limited edition* Beautiful edition of glass mastered CDs with hand painted covers by Tim Bradley on full color 400g offset print card stock in thick PVC sleeves that we think really compliments the, at times radical, combination of sounds and textures in the music. The works are "over painted photographs", directly inspired by Gerhard Richter's series of the same title (Übermalte Fotografien). Bradley says: "To paint over a photograph is to admit that truth is always blurred—each ges…
Einheitliches Geschirr
*250 copies limited edition* Einheitliches Geschirr is a new album by Marie Vermont, Vienna based sound artist, musician and visual artist.

Oozetones / Fleshscapes
While this album was written and completed in early 2022 the work here reflects about a decade's worth of developing a unique approach to improvising, super-imposition, and sound engineering as a method of constantly shifting and expanding composition. In many ways this work is the logical conclusion of the desire for, and searching after, a certain sound and feeling, which I believe is present here.... ...The ooze is all encompassing. The ooze moves across and through all things. The ooze is ac…
TAQATO3
Violinist Mike Khoury came together with Sharif Sehnaoui (guitar, percussion, bouzouki) and Raed Yassin (bass) to create some very natural and organic improvised music during the Irtijal Festival in 2018. Khoury said, “the three of us had an instant connection with a common understood language that predated all of us.” The music was not a part of a festival performance but a sparate effort by the three musicians. Khoury is best known for his work as a soloist, in duet with percussionist Ben Hall…

Oui, Mais 68 ! Maybe 68 ?
Tip! Edition of 300 copies. François Tusques needs no introduction to serious listeners of European free jazz.

His subsequent work with Barney Wilen (Le Nouveau Jazz, 1967), h…

Axis Dissected
We are thrilled to introduce Axis Dissected, the debut release of escéptica, and a bold statement from Dangel. A sonic excavation of found sound, field recordings and musique concrète abstraction. Recorded between Berlin and Chile from 2022 to 2024, this album assembles fragments of reality and reconfigures them into a haunting sound experience.
Dangel works with intuitive precision, sculpting scenes of acoustic memory and spatial debris. There is a tension here between control and chance, betwe…
