Phantoms LP
Eddie Ladoire, composer and plastic artist, meets Pierre Bastien, an emblematic figure of the french experimental music scene to compose the soundtrack of an original choregraphy made of edited old movies of dancers from all times and spaces.
Sommé-e
Many superb records by drummers exist already, but JB Geoffroy has no interest in simply following in the footsteps of Chris Corsano, Man Forever or Will Guthrie, all of whom he cites as touchstones,but in this case a drum record without drums is a a step into expanded percussion and wild sonic experimentation.
Pa-luu Val-oon
* Edition of 40, cloth cover, hand-made sleeve * Uton's Pa-luu Val-Oon was recorded between July and October 2017 in Turku, Finland. The album was originally released on cassette by American label NullZone in 2018. The edition was 50 copies, and it was sold relatively fast, so it was about time to make another edition, so that this album can be available again. Pa-luu Val-Oon offers a deep transcendental sound, sometimes noisy and intense, even dark, but always keeping on the road into the ligh…

Lament & Rejoice
**Edition of 60 copies ** Lament & Rejoice is a debut album by a Finnish experimental musician Juho Toivonen. Dubbed on to a 30-year old Hardcore Punk tape found from Toivonen`s rehersal room in Pori, the hissing album experiments with continuous sound created either with clarinet, viola, synthesizer and chants - or just with piano and synthesizer. In these two pieces you`ll find sounds and energies being emancipated for the purpose of unity.

If You Do
Megan Alice Clune's If You Do is a work of restrained ecstasy. Drawing on her interests in extended minimalist traditions, especially explorations into variable tunings featured in the works orbiting those involved in the Theatre Of Eternal Music, Clune devises a record of constant deepening. Each piece unfolds into the next, and whilst existing individually, they also operate as a collected mass of sound. If You Do is a constant, almost stream of consciousness, flow of voice, drones, keyboards …
In Light of Blues
Will Long's work as Celer traverses a nebulous and morphing galaxy of sound that centers around textured ambience and extended durational pieces. A long-time resident in Tokyo, his work explores the way in which sound can operate in an evolving atmosphere, coalescing with everything, and everyone, around it. With In Light Of Blues, Long pivots away from long-form works to create a series of vignettes that capture the essence of his aesthetics interests. The record condenses and refines his compo…
The Black Stone – Music For Lovecraftian Summonings
Someone claims that H.P. Lovecraft did not like music. He may have suffered from undiagnosed musical anhedonia, a disorder where a person gleans no pleasure from music or sound. The first story that comes to mind when one thinks of music in the “Lovecraft universe” is The Music of Erich Zann (1921). The music in The Music of Erich Zahn, is the kind of frenetic, and frightening music he had always experienced: [...] It would be useless to describe Erich Zann's music on that horrible night. It was…

For Kounellis
The music on this recording was initiated when Grazia and Gianni Bolongaro, owners of La Marrana di Montemarcello asked me to record the sounds of Jannis Kounellis’ installation and make a piece in response. Kounellis’ untitled installation comprises 23 large church bells that appear to spiral out from a cylindrical chamber rooted in the Earth’s core. I was struck by the intensity of this chorus of silent tongues, facing the sky and projecting a colossal resonance that is felt but is not heard. …
