A Circle of Skin
A Circle of Skin is music to give solace during the dark autumn evenings. Creating images and patterns of comfort to deflect from the hallucinogenic disorientations of reality. As ever with these things, there are always demons and spirits lurking within the shadows of the album. Showing us with a sharpened realisation to be mindful, as things can always get worse. These are the murky undercurrents of a soundtrack which keeps us moving forward and alive. The sounds present are at once both organ…

Guitar Recordings V
*2026 stock. 15 copies limited edition* In just 22 minutes, Steve Touchton redefines what a solo guitar record can and should be. The brilliance of 'Guitar Recordings V' lies in Touchton's ability to completely liberate themself from the inherited legacy of the instrument, discovering an entirely new perspective on both the guitar and the amplifier it resonates through. The opener, 'Apparitions,' features ghostly chimes that resemble the timbral scope of a prepared piano, subtly frosted with rad…
Big Gamble
*2026 stock. 10 copies limited edition* Although Jackson and McLean spent many of their formative years playing in an array of dubious named and increasingly outsider rock groups, ‘Big Gamble’ is the first time they have ever made music purely as a duo. In the intervening years since their last band activities together. Jackson founded Thraa and began to focus on prepared guitar experiments in a series of aurally challenging and investigative solo records issued on his own Fr33zehead imprint. Mc…

Two Moons for Eyes
*70 copies limited edition* The sweet night thickens like boiling jam. Two muted moons transmute into silent eyes, its rays glowing through different stages of reality.

Visitations and Revisitations
This release continues lines of work that seem to inevitably revolve around explorations and honourings of place, people, and memory. Two pieces stem from other lines of research which have been ongoing for some years. All the works combine elements of acoustic and electronic sound, where the electronic sound is often derived from underlying acoustic sources which usually remain unheard. The 'letter pieces' all function as hommage compositions, in an alphabetical series of 26, where each letter …
Triple Point
Tip! Triple Point, featuring Pauline Oliveros, Doug Van Nort and Jonas Braasch, was an improvising trio with a core instrumentation of soprano saxophone, greis/electronics, and V-accordion. The name refers to the point of equilibrium on a phase plot, which acts as a metaphor for the group's improvisational dialogue. Triple Point's musical interaction was centered around an interplay between acoustics, physically-modeled acoustics (v-accordion), and electronics. Van Nort captured the sound of the…
Found & Found
“Found & Found” - the second album from Nitai Hershkovits and Daniel Dor grew out of pure curiosity. “There was more to say, more to explore,” says Dor. Expanding from the synth-only palette of 2024’s “The Garden Suite,” these tracks include guitar and clarinet, blurring the line between acoustic and electronic. Each composition is built with interlocking, mantra-like patterns - hold onto a sound, and find yourself floating above or descending inside.
Spiderpeople
*2026 stock* Ad old men but not down-trodden paths when the areas are only popular & sought after by the still few. For many, there’s a Milky Way between pop & this music; for fewer, it’s like standing on either side of a hybrid ant. The guitar (the chordophone) & the drums (the membraneophones) are known by most, but the sound here is of the rarer kind, although there is indeed string play & rhythmic things, just not in the usual way, but instead according to other orders & expressions, like an…
Cavejaz
Rio de Janeiro guitarist and composer Fabiano do Nascimento returns with new album Cavejaz.
L’uso e gli attributi del cuore
Certain paths necessitate and call for one singular long sequence in order to arrive at a fully formed conversation or reasoning. Nothing seems to broadcast it more clearly than the trajectory Brussels based Italo-Vietnamese artist Nguyễn Zen Mỹ embarked on during the last decade as Radio Hito. After a string of highly cherished and sought out tape releases, Radio Hito’s new album ‘L’uso e gli attributi del cuore’, co-released by Maple Death & Meakusma, unfolds with devastating clarity, a profou…
