One Another
“The body’s relation to the social is inseparable from, and of the same relation to the world, not a relation of objectification but a carnal intertwining prior to any reflective judgement.” -Rosalyn Diprose

Les Mortes
*2025 stock* The project is a musical composition that employs the technique of deriving and expanding upon the fragmentary. It is an investigation that is, in advance, lost in the midst of stories that come back again and again, told in disorder, illuminated from other angles or revealed by new links. Les Mortes is a sonic saga that brings together three musical ensembles with different aesthetics navigating among these bits and pieces of a whole of which we have only the echo.
Stories of a fun…
Styx
Arriving just four months after his previous release, Tombed Visions obsession with the work of guitarist Takashi Masubuchi continues with the release of 'Styx'.
Microcanonical Ensemble
Microcanonical Ensemble is an album woven with subtle paradoxes, balancing stasis and movement, resonance and decay, improvisation and composition, precision and raw performance. While the echoes of Morton Feldman, Jürg Frey, and the Wandelweiser scene whisper through their music, the group's contrasting approaches, coupled with an openness and fragility, create a sound that is rustic and fallibly human.
With purely acoustic instrumentation, the quartet of Takashi Masubuchi, Wakana Ikeda, Tom So…
Archives Box 1983-2005

Echo of Being / Grace in Rot
Echo of Being / Grace in Rot is a powerful sonic meditation on grief by the duo Neti-Neti, composed of vocalist Amirtha Kidambi and percussionist Matt Evans. The project originated from improvisation sessions born out of personal loss, evolving from an intimate exchange into a practice that bridges the personal and the political.
Disquiet
On Disquiet, The Necks stretch their immersive, shape-shifting sound across three discs and more than three hours of labyrinthine, patient intensity. This twentieth studio recording marks the 39th year of the band's existence, representing both a culmination of their extraordinary journey and a bold leap into uncharted sonic territory. Meticulously recorded and sculpted, the four extended pieces on Disquiet see Tony Buck, Chris Abrahams, and Lloyd Swanton pushing at the outer edges of their coll…

Travelling At The Speed Of Time
*300 coipes limited edition* Only a clarinet sings – minimal, quivering, wavering. Breathing mad notes in the cracks between notes, weaving a dazed, fuzzy kind of magic. The latest recordings by Museum of No Art are tripping – floating in suspense, somewhere out in the irrational corners of the world inhabited by the haunted elegance of Ben Bertrand or Bernhard Herrmann. But still, entirely her own – a quiet revolt of classical clichés in search of a new dawn for lunatic woodwinds. She sings thr…
Peace And Happiness
The legendary double bass master is not appearing in our catalogue for the first time, but for the first time we have the honour of publishing music that has not appeared on Paul Rogers' albums many times before. A recital for solo double bass! If one could wish for the bass to speak, we believe that it does so most fully and poignantly when played by this wonderful master.
Broadsides
In 2023, sound artist and composer Weston Olencki toured across the American South. Beginning in their hometown in South Carolina, they snaked a circuitous path from the mountains of West Virginia to the banks of the Mississippi River. As the miles accumulated, so did the initial seeds of new work. Instruments and artifacts they acquired hitched a ride in the backseat, while songs and sounds filled their portable recorder: water in its various states, the familiar insectoid buzz of those summer …
Monochrome Electronic Music (Two pieces for Coupigny Synthesizer)
*100 copies limited edition* A « monochrome » approach to composition implies working within a restricted aural palette and, in this particular case, using fixed pitches. It focuses on developing interactions between these parallel elements in a time dominion. Establishing a dialogue devoid of structural repetitions and, most importantly, free from any hierarchy of notes. Such coexistence gives way to a particular environment of musical democracy where unevolving sounds lose their individual imp…
Cylinder Plus
Tip! *100 copies limited edition* Cylinder Plus is the first entry in a series of records by TRAC (Teddy Ryles & Alexander Cooper). After meeting at Oberlin’s Timara department in 2012, the duo continued to exchange technical and musical ideas while working on respective solo projects. TRAC, in a nod to Calvin Mooers' early Text Reckoning And Compiling programming language, was formed in 2023 to combine approaches to composition, sound source and form. Cylinder Plus, built from reconstituted dig…
Recordings from the Åland Islands
In 2017 Jeremiah Chiu & Marta Sofia Honer traveled together to the Åland Islands (an archipelago that is host to around 6,500 islands) in the Baltic Sea between Sweden and Finland. They headed to the islands with the intention of helping two friends (mother/daughter duo Jannika/Sage Reed) barn raise a small inn named Hotel Svala in Kumlinge (a municipality consisting of a small group of islands and a population of about 320). The idea was that, once completed, Svala would host artist residencies…
