2025 Repress. The second beautiful album by the duo of Jessika Kenney -- a vocalist known for her haunting timbral sense, as well as her profound interpretation of Persian vocal traditions -- and Eyvind Kang -- a violist for whom the act of music and learning is a spiritual discipline. All tracks were composed by Kenney (voice, percussion, electronics) and Kang (viola, setar, electronics). "The Central Javanese Wangsalan is a kind of riddle (two lines, twelve syllables each, divided 4 and 8 ), s…

The contemporary and cinematic mu…
*300 copies limited edition* Dominique Grimaud, a historical figure in French musical avant-garde, is known as a founding member of Camizole and Video Aventures, two groups that profoundly shaped the underground scene of the 1970s in France. Camizole, formed in 1970 in the wake of the May ’68 protests, stood out for its improvised performances and happenings, inspired by the Living Theatre and characterized by radical expressive freedom and a rejection of commercial musical conventions. The grou…
*300 copies limited edition* "Dis qu’t’as tort" is the latest venture from Tagubu (Denis Tagu, formerly of Hellebore, Look De Bouk, and Toupidek Limonade), realised in collaboration with Klimperei (Christophe Petchanatz, known for his work with Pierre Bastien, David Fenech, and Palo Alto, among others). The album represents a creative response to the increasing prevalence of autocracies and dictatorships across the globe, reflecting a world that is not simply changing, but rather derailing.

Timo van Luijk's labels Metaphon and La Scie Dorée present three essential releases that map the territory of contemporary experimental music - from the vaults of Romanian fury to the birth of generative sound, from Darmstadt radicalism to psychedelic meditation.
Nicolae Brînduș's Match / Soliloque 1&4 / Antifonia (1986) remains the most eccentric entry in Electrecord's legendary RCM series - a controlled explosion where Romanian folk memory meets spectral composition, free jazz violence, and ta…
For two decades, Bart De Paepe has navigated the psychedelic underground, creating a singular artistic path through labels like Astres d’Or, Ultra Eczema, and No Basement Is Deep Enough, and through collaborations with Sylvester Anfang’s funeral folks, Louise Landes Levi, Timo van Luijk, and Raymond Dijkstra. Zürahümnah distills his expansive vision into four immersive tracks that blur the line between light and darkness, time and reverie.

After decades of working at the margins of experimental electronic music, French composer Manon Anne Gillis returns with Eyry, her ninth solo album and a stunning testament to her unique approach to sound as a tactile, sensory experience. Released on Art Into Life as a limited edition of 300 vinyl copies (with download code), Eyry weaves together voice, breathing, words, and sounds using ingenious methodologies that have defined Gillis' practice since the 1980s.
Since her earliest works in the 1…
The thallus refers to a plant without roots or leaves: lichens, algae. A presence in the world that unfolds discreetly, like a tree covering or a blanket over the sea. t h a l l e is, for me, a subject of randomness and correlation. How do desynchronized elements form a harmonic whole? I can feel great joy in organizing the chaos of these materials, which, through tiny encounters, align in the same time. t h a l l e is also an exploration of vast temporalities, from the smooth time of organ piec…
Tip! Turin is a city of crumbing facades and fading surfaces. A memorial to regal splendour and industrial boom. Behind every door is a different world. Pass through a grand double-door in the southern part of the city into a quiet courtyard, through into a small room with a high ceiling and cracked white coving. The room holds a modest studio set up, everything laid out as if the occupant just left. It’s a workshop, littered with blank cassettes, sepia-tinted journals and unidentified family sc…
Another Thought was the first collection of Arthur Russell’s music to be released after his death in 1992. Released on CD by Point Music in 1993 it marked the beginning of nearly 30 years of work to let the world hear the enormous archive of unreleased recordings Arthur left behind. Be With revisits this first compilation for a new gatefold double vinyl version and a triple-fold digipak CD re-issue.
This is the only place where you can hear some of Arthur’s most recognisable music, like the titl…
Mari Return dispatch a quietly uncanny collection that sits somewhere between decayed songform and domestic interference. Mote of Interest was recorded in a room beside the River Ribble, where environmental influence seeps into the fabric of the album - not through literal field recordings, but in the album’s fluid pacing and sediment-like layering. Pulsing beds of tone, gated hiss, and tape-warped textures feel half-submerged, eroded. Guitar phrases stagger and repeat with hazy logic - part ins…
At the end of the 1980s, Mariolina Zitta approached the world of natural sounds, studying musicology and developing a passion for speleology. Her encounter with Walter Maioli was fundamental, guiding and influencing her definitive research into sound archaeology and the primitive sources of musical acoustic phenomena. In these recordings Mariolina conducts a magical ritual as a cave priestess, celebrating the icons par excellence of the mysteries of the night: bats. The specific frequencies of t…
Mitar Subotić Suba (Rex Ilusivii) was one of the most prominent ex-Yugoslav producers and sound artists. His work encompassed not only successful production on some of the cult ex-Yugoslav records, but also works in the field of music for theatre, experimental electronic music, and installations. After moving to Brazil in the 1990s, he further explored his interest in local culture and released his essential work "São Paulo Confessions". Almost at the same time, he produced "Tanto Tempo", a semi…
Assembled by Pedro Alves Sousa, Má Estrela is a conjuration of ideas and obsessions around dub, leftfield dance phenomena and the hypnotic potential of urban somnambulance.
*155 copies limited edition* »Hug of Gravity« is the second solo album by Raphael Loher and his first for Hallow Ground. The Swiss pianist and composer uses piano preparations, tape machines, and digital means to forge an aesthetic of playful reduction and rhythmic abstraction. The source material for these four sprawling pieces was culled from recordings of the artist performing the album’s predecessor, 2022’s »Keemuun.« Loher used them in a painstaking two-part working process to create an alb…
