This CD is markable reissue of very rare first LP of Somei Satoh. Like several other composers of his generation, Somei Satoh has an affinity for mysticism and meditation, and he attempts to convey stillness and timelessness in his extremely slow music. His works may be described as ambient, but their minor key harmonies and step-wise melodies seem more conventional than the blurred, unearthly sonorities usually found in that atmospheric genre. ALM Records issued some important LPs of Satoh's ta…

The exhibition, "Old Instruments From the Future, New Instruments From the Past  (and  Characters)((by Artificial Intelligence))," was held from May 27 to August 4, 2024, as the 15th-anniversary celebration of Kanazawa Art Gummi. This project involves faithfully constructing  physical versions of instruments designed by AI, interpreting the playing methods suitable for these  instruments, and drawing music from them.

The first Manon Anne Gillis release was a single-sided mini-album titled “Angebiguë”, which was Manon’s self-release in 1983. “Angebiguë” was 6-track mini-album in a cold-minimal-synth vein, and any track from “Angebiguë” were not included in her retrospective 5CD Box “Archives Box 1983-2005”, which Art into Life released in 2015. “Angebiguë” was privately released in tiny edition for her friends only and has been a highly sought-after item among collectors. “Vhoysee” is Manon’s long-awaited new…

300 copies only. 2xLP Picture. Very, very broadly speaking, there are two kinds of Nurse With Wound albums: the sprawling, immersive, evolving drone-type recordings - think Soliloquy for Lilith, Salt Marie Celeste - and the wild, surreal freak-outs. A Sucked Orange is a prime example of the latter. Originally released by United Dairies at the end of the 1980s, A Sucked Orange has long been out of print, especially on vinyl. Infinite Fog is beyond happy to bring this singular work back as a 2LP p…

Reissue, originally released in 1989. After Dinner's Paradise of Replica is a concise nugget of tomfoolery that occupies a whimsical no man's land between art pop, Japanese folk music, and full-assed Art Zoydian avant proggery. Gentle, arcane and covertly sweeping, it typifies that friendly strain of experimentalism that Eastern music seems so predisposed towards and which curious minds find such great delight in. Assembled by the enigmatic chanteuse and composer known simply as Haco, After Dinn…

Scale, addresses issues of observation, embodied transferences, telepathy and duration employing swipes, knocks, resonators and hypnotic patternings on the acoustic harp with the less controllable sounds of radio waves, homemade synths and feedback. Inspired by the timings and sensations of natural phenomena including daylight’s slow emergence at dawn and the pulsing ambiance of ocean currents. Nature as both utopic and disruptive. Attention is situated in an often luscious, contemplative sonic …

Big Tip! LP version. Edition of 250 copies. Includes a download code with the album and the short film Callas. 00 Action Group is the loose New York collective run by J. Frivaldi (Joe Frivaldi), the same Frivaldi who co-produces the Abasement concert series at Artists Space and plays in ElectroPutas with Jaiko Suzuki and Akio Mokuno. Bloood 2 is the group's second record, five years after the double cassette Numero 1 on Reality Delay, and the first vinyl release on New Dracula Theater, the artis…

On Electric Garden, Sissy Spacek and Smegma blur into a single, unstable organism, trading identities inside a live electro‑acoustic tangle where tape, junk percussion, turntables and guitar debris drift through The Pink House like sentient interference.

On Geometric Reason, Sissy Spacek reroute their long‑running extremism into a jagged strain of musique concrète, splicing voice, electronics and acoustic shards into a volatile collage charged by fire‑displacement, Japanese connections and their enduring taste for rupture.

Issued in 2008 as the first installment of a three-part series, Stunt marks a striking departure for Giuseppe Ielasi. Best known up to that point for the patient ambient and electroacoustic work on labels like Häpna and 12k, Ielasi sets aside guitars and field recordings here in favour of a single tool: one turntable, and a large pile of vinyl records. The six pieces collected on this 12" were assembled over three months from short segments, loops, and longer improvisations drawn directly from t…

Few figures within the long, strange arc of American experimental music have occupied terrain quite as singular as Tom Recchion's. Co-founder, in the mid-1970s, of the Los Angeles Free Music Society - the gloriously unruly collective of basement noise-makers, exotica obsessives, tape manipulators, and assembled-instrument visionaries whose lineage runs through Smegma, the Doo-Dooettes, and Le Forte Four - Recchion has spent the subsequent decades assembling one of the most idiosyncratic bodies o…

*300 copies limited edition* Catholics Against Architecture is the name Chris Connelly has given this project that here collects twelve songs crafted from sonic collages, spoken word, fractured melodies, vocals not far removed from those that David Bowie traded some of his best songs on, rivulets of subdued noise and seemingly random location recordings, tender guitar work, tape manipulation and all kinds of other sounds either in between or beyond. Together, these compositions sit outside conve…

Forest Factory is the duo of fellow nomads Elvin Brandhi and Andreas Trobollowitsch. Each using self-made turntables, sampler and voice to create a unique acoustic repertoire, suffusing computational and organic tonalities. Their vinyl debut Holzweg is a compositional amalgamation of recording sessions made in diverse ecosystems: Auditorium Novecento, Naples (2023), Ruang MES 56, Yogyakarta (2024), and their Japan tour in 2024. Redefining themselves in a range of contexts lends fluidity and plur…

Last copies...Second edition of 500 on transparent red vinyl. Brannten Schnüre is an experimental dark folk group out of Würzburg, Germany. Christian Schoppik composed and played all the music, Katie Rich whispers, recites and sings. Together they make astoundingly beautiful folk with a rich instrumentation leaning towards the atonal spectrum. Instrumental wanderings stand alongside Nico-esque poetry tales. Christian plays the accordeon and in some songs guitar and flute. Inspired by hierophants…

*50 copies limited edition* Aster are poets and experimental sound makers Alex Keramidas and Catherine Norris. Their practice is informed by perpetual choirs, sacrificial stones and top of the pops, as well as being guided by divination. Party Down the Hall is their first album - a collaboration built on ethereal narratives, samples and melodies, creating invocations for the modern era.“In an apartment in a big old building. It used to be a hotel where people would stay in order to be healed. No…

Tip! "City Dragon is Max Kaario, who is part of different bands such as Altersgruppe, Teenage God, ski attic etc. Canadian, he has lived in Paris for more than ten years where he organizes concerts such as cmptrmthmthcs in bars that are always changing and kebab shops sometimes. The first time I saw Max play as City Dragon was at Pauline Perplexe, an artist place in Arcueil where his friends have their studios. He was singing and improvising with a drum toy, and dancing spinning right round a bi…

Each comes with a unique 3D printed logo of the band as well as random inserted sequins/glitter bits* Sucata Tapes present the debut album by I'A'V, a conjuration born from an invitation extended by gnration in Braga to Inês Malheiro, completed by Arianna Casellas and Violeta Azevedo. Three inescapable figures amidst the portuguese scene, whose precious body of work resonates here in ineffable style. A blessed triangulation of artists, each with a fully formed vision…

The legendary electroacoustic composer presents her most intimate work yet, weaving five decades of sonic memories into a profound meditation on time, perception, and the treasures of lived experience

This collection of pieces originates from environmental sounds recorded using 3D ambisonic microphones. The recordings have been deconstructed, processed, and composed into abstract musical journeys that no longer transport the listener to the original recording locations. Instead, they tell stories— partly of human-made dystopias and partly in search of a melancholic beauty in what the future may hold.“Natasha Barrett’s insightful attention to the spatial and durational character of real-world …

The Belgian electroacoustic pioneer unveils a career-spanning collection that chronicles her unwavering commitment to the "hidden and discreet, but poetic, paths of acousmatics" across analog and digital eras

Huge Tip! ** Edition of 300.** The long overdue first proper jazz album on Discreet Music! After years of releasing experimental electronics, drone, and avant-garde sound art, the Swedish label finally documents what's been happening in their own backyard: ferocious, life-elevating free jazz performed by three of Sweden's leading improvisers. Niklas Persson Trio - saxophonist Niklas Persson, double bassist Patric Thorman, and drummer Raymond Strid - started ten years ago on Thorman's initiative.…

Tip! *Dubbed on new ferro tapes* Fen Hollen takes a deep plunge into idiosyncratic samplelooping and poorly done reamping techniques. Small fragments of songs merging with chaotic instrumentals and weird microcassette malfunctions.

*Dubbed on new ferro tapes* A compilation of cassette-recordings made at a summer party, a childhood home and a sundrenched apartment. Musical generosities from a couple of good friends.

Finnish multi-instrumentalist Simo Hakalisto makes mosaic music of strings, bowls, bells, reeds, wind, water, and obscure electronics, threaded in subtle currents of color and texture. The title of his latest, Toinen Luonto (Finnish for “second nature”), alludes equally to Shakali’s earthen, tactile soundworld and Hakalisto’s deepening comfort with his craft. The album’s eight songs feel coaxed as much as composed, a web of resonances set in motion and allowed to simmer, build, or billow. Vibrat…

On In the Beginning, Gadea scores Ala Nunu’s animated essay on anthropocentrism with a delicately disorienting language: hushed electro‑acoustics, ghosted field recordings and Marina Herlop’s voice tracing fragile halos around three surreal, all‑too‑real stories.

On Flood Coil, Norwegian artist Kjell Bjorgeengen and noise architect Lasse Marhaug collide flickering electronics and dense signal storms, turning sound into a volatile field of interference where image, electricity and feedback are felt rather than merely perceived.

*70 copies limited edition* Flung is pleased to present Raphaël Languillat’s Asteroid*, which renders celestial debris and deep-space signals as volatile synthesiser improvisations, released on limited edition cassette, exclusively on Bandcamp. Asteroid* arrives as four transmissions extracted from a self-modulating Korg MS-20 — a closed-circuit system driven by feedback and fracture. What surfaces are compositions as pressure events: ruptured drones, scorched frequencies, and signal debris spil…

Dutch 80s cassette pioneer meets Blood Incantation's cosmic ambient side. Enno Velthuys recordings paired with Riedl's archival drift. Meditative, intimate, timeless.

Club Moral emerged on January 1st, 1981, in Antwerp, Belgium, as both a collective and a challenge. Founded by artists Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven (AMVK) and Danny Devos (DDV), it operated as an industrial band, a performance platform, and a venue that became a magnet for Europe's most uncompromising voices. Between 1981 and 1987, the Antwerp space hosted exhibitions, happenings and live shows featuring Produktion, Boyd Rice, John Duncan, Coupe de Grace and others—turning the city into a crucial out…

200 copies. CD wallet with 8 page booklet including photos from a scrapbook, found in Willem de Ridder’s archive. The word Fanatic comes from the Latin fanum, temple. A fanatic is someone possessed, by God or the Devil. From 1985 until 1989 Willem de Ridder, Hessel Veldman, Cora Emens and Nick Nicole were the members of post-art ensemble Fanatic (or later FNTC). Willem and Hessel already worked together in the late 70s and early 80s on various radio shows and performed with musicians like Alvin …

Limited edition of 50 copies on purple vinyl. A meeting of two uncompromising sound artists, Carlos Giffoni and Joachim Nordwall, New Music fuses pulsating electronic rhythms, immersive drones, and abstract textures into a vivid, physical listening experience. Emerging from the outer edges of techno, noise, and electro-acoustic composition, both artists channel their distinct sonic vocabularies into a shared space of tension and transformation. Giffoni's deep synth drones collide with Nordwall's…

During a 2016 trip to Colombia, I was very fortunate to be welcomed by the staff of the Rio Claro Natural Reserve, located in the central Cordillera. After several days of recording in the caves—the ones open to the public—inhabited by small colonies of cave-dwelling Guacharos (Steatornis caripensis), Juan Guillermo Garcés, director and founder of the Rio Claro sanctuary, allowed me to access a secret location outside of the reserve, home to what ornithologists reckon is one of the largest known…

Tip! *300 copies limited edition* An’archives is proud to present [sensitive], a new album, and the first solo vinyl release, by Japanese keyboardist and synth player, Mitsuhisa Sakaguchi. A deftly assembled suite of glistening electronic tonalities, [sensitive] is the latest in a lengthy run of excellent, idiosyncratic albums by Sakaguchi. A low-key yet productive artist, Sakaguchi has released banks of solo titles via his own Bandcamp page, and is also an in-demand improvisor for electronics: …

Upgrade & Afterlife stands as a pivotal and singular recording in the catalog of Gastr del Sol, the duo of David Grubbs and Jim O’Rourke. Originally released in 1996, this album is frequently cited as a landmark of post-rock and experimental music, praised for its blend of avant-garde abstraction, folk minimalism, and a restless, exploratory spirit. The album opens with “Our Exquisite Replica of ‘Eternity’,” a piece that has become emblematic for many listeners: a slow-building, cinematic sounds…

On Capelli di Cristallo, alias Junior Rain - the duo of Francesco Cavaliere and Matteo Martino - braid e‑bass, percussion, synth‑keys, sampling and electronics into a prismatic, slow‑mutating sound where rhythm, texture and melody melt into one hazy, crystalline drift.
