ZERO,999...
After spending much of the last years focusing on the evolution of his own instrument, the drummophone, the release of ZERO,999… reveals a new paradigm in La Foresta's work and career. In this album he collects fragments of live performances and site-specific installations conducted over the last decade, with and without the drummophone — reimagining and repurposing them as compositional elements that he has interwoven with recent studio recordings and collaborations to form eleven viscerally po…
2014-2019
Tip! Monkey Plot is the critically acclaimed trio of Christian Winther (guitars), Magnus Skavhaug Nergaard (bass) and Jan Martin Gismervik (drums) – all notable collaborators on the Norwegian experimental music scene. The band have released three studio albums (two of them on the notable Norwegian label Hubro), toured Europe, Japan and South America, and done collaborations with Swedish sound artist and poet Pär Thörn, Norwegian free jazz pioneer Frode Gjerstad and ECM/Sofa duo Vilde & Inga, amo…
Undercurrents
Huge Tip! Drag City and Yoga Records are delighted to return to the music of Matthew Young. Following Recurring Dreams (1981, reissued 2014) and Traveler's Advisory (1986, reissued 2010), Undercurrents (2025) collects eight oddly dissimilar pieces that somehow fit together perfectly. Although unique enough to be called outsider, Young’s new album occupies a musical world accessible to fans of many genres. Composed and recorded over the span of several decades, Undercurrents displays the wide ran…
Love Songs in Grams per Second
All sounds in this record were collected in solitary afternoons or sleepless nights, while studying electric guitar and effect boxes, an FM synth and a sampler, and were taken care of as if they were plants that you would move around the house to see where they like it best. Occasionally they met other sounds from far back in time, and they got along well. All these sounds talk to me of fragility and effort; to me they taste like gratitude and affection and joy. - FIlippo Mazzei

I Racconti di Aretusa
Tip! “I Racconti di Aretusa” is the result of the encounter between Lino Capra Vaccina, a legend of Italian minimalism, and Mai Mai Mai, the alias of Toni Cutrone, a key international figure in the avant-garde/drone scene. A work that weaves together experimentation and Mediterranean echoes, creating a sonic journey of rare intensity. The collaboration was born during an artistic residency for the Ortigia Sound System (Syracuse, Sicily), a festival dedicated to the dialogue between traditional s…
Their internal diapasons
The pipes that Miłosz Kędra used to craft his own organ emulator have lived many lives. They come from churches scattered across Greater Poland—some trimmed for a more presentable façade, others left to gather dust in parish houses until, stripped of purpose, they were cast away. Their first voices have faded, their inner resonance unsettled, yet with patience, one can teach them to sound again—to sing in their altered state, to be gently coaxed out of silence. Audiomancy—the conjuring of lost s…
Manifestations of Spirit From Within Electronic Electro-Acoustic & Acoustic Space
Erratum Musical, Studio Forum and C.A.R.E. are very pleased to announce the release of this groundbreaking historical LP from 1976 recorded in Los Angeles. First ever recordings of sounds by Serge Modular System + Z’EV + Will Jackson!
TO was founded in 1976 in San Francisco by Will E. Jackson (1945-2019) & Stefan “Z’EV” Weisser(1951-2017), occasionally performing under the code name “Center for Inter-Species communication”. The real missing link between works by California’s modular synthesizers…
Sketches For World of Echo/Open Vocal Phrases Where Songs Come In and Out
“Some of it sounds so pure and clear and I am picturing him huddled around all that gear, simply magical. In my memory he didn’t play ‘for’ the audience but was rather trying to perfect these various permutations of sound within himself…and a few of us just happened to be present.” – Tom Lee
Open Vocal Phrases, Where Songs Come in And Out & Sketches For World of Echo offers two intimate unedited Arthur Russell solo live performances recorded at Phill Niblock’s Experimental Intermedia Foundation …
Sun Eaters
"Chicago-based composer, improviser, multi-media artist and underground legend, Rob Mazurek, joins forces with modular-synth maestro and light magician, Alberto Novello for a blacklight invocation that hurls us out into new and uncharted sound-dimensions.
Born of a chance encounter, Alberto Novello and Rob Mazurek's improvised collaboration, Sun Eaters, was recorded in a single afternoon at Dobialab, an experimental artist run space in Northern Italy. Alberto provided a loose rythmic and timbral…
Strands of lunar light
"I envision this music as emanating from a moon inhabited by otherworldly life forms and ecosystems; these sounds as evoking the moon’s topographies, beings, lunar rivers, and strands of light — as if this moon’s essence were itself sonic, vibrational matter. Musically and acoustically, strands of lunar light departs from a set of tones corresponding to a confined harmonic series segment of a very low fundamental frequency: 5.15 hertz. Through twelve continuous sections, each employing various m…
Play Piano And Sounds
2011 release ** "Laurent Pernice and Laurent Perrier bear very similar names. But the closeness between the two artists goes beyond mere coincidence. Both are ex-members of Nox, the mythical rock industrial French band of the 1980's. Since then, they have built a true personal and artistic complicity. In 1997, Laurent Pernice quits Paris to live in Marseilles, South of France, where Laurent Perrier visits him regularly. In 2005, on occasion of one of his visits, Perrier is invited to listen to P…
Stay / Sea
*200 hand-numbered copies limited edition* HolyKindOf is multi instrumentalist J. Bryan Parks from Akron, Ohio. Is a part of Rubber City Noise. HolyKindOf is a solo venture that began its current incarnation in the late spring of 2012 in a cathartic response to personal tragedy. Using dense layers of manipulated loops; primarily cello, field recordings, tape & voice. He sculpts viscerally; a requiem of repetitive phrase, culminating heady delicacies, evolving melodies & crescendo. Each live perf…
Praxis
The music on this record is the result of a process of re-imagining Acre's concert at Area Sismica on June 11, 2022. No editing is present other than the extraction of some movements from the concert, which have been recombined in temporal order, according to a narrative logic given by the need to coexist with the space offered by the medium.
Ghost Note
*200 copies limited edition* More than a decade after his last full album, Kim Hiorthøy returns with Ghost Note, released by the Belgian label Blickwinkel. Though his music has quietly existed in the background—shaping contemporary dance, film, and theatre—this album brings it into focus once more. Ghost Note is an exploration of sound on the edge of presence and absence, a fictional world that is both constructed and organic.
Using mostly digital technology, Hiorthøy created a set of instrumen…
Transe, Musique À Trois Dimensions
1997 release ** "Pianist and composer Patrick Scheyder, in a group or solo, explores improvisation, its expression, and the mechanical or technical means—here, the piano—of generating it. Thus, alongside encounters with jazz—including a constantly evolving piano duo with Bernard Lubat—this Trance is both a research into sound and a musical act. Jean Schwarz contributes recorded sounds, and Daniel Teruggi transforms them live. We hear knocking, reversed tapes, slowed down or sped up, reverberatio…
Kenosis
300 copies. The result of a long period of study and retirement in a house in the Bologna countryside in the first three months of 2018, Kenosis renews the meeting between Stefano Pilia and Massimo Pupillo (already together on several tours of ZU and in the Zu93 project, together with David Tibet). A Greek word of Gnostic derivation (literally meaning "emptying"), Kenosis is the result of a process of composition that saw the two musicians move away from their usual writing methods and from the …
Shell I
*120 copies limited edition* Shell I is the second edition on Edições CN by Brussels sound artist Florence Cats. It is a magical collection of 23 edits for voice, field recordings, theremin and piano. Cats’ recorded piano rehearsals and singing sketches reminds us of Cornelius Cardew works. They are at the heart of Edições CN, where a sketch or rehearsal holds as much, if not more, truth than a definitive composition.
A melody line from Debussy passes by. Waves crash in the distance. Sails and f…
Sometimes Things Change
*120 copies limited edition* Sometimes Things Change is an album after a year of profound change. A year with a new job, moving houses, and many visits to the IVF clinic. Sometimes Things Change brings closure, and is an artistic starting point. In the course of seven compositions memories, thoughts and fantasia meet. “The sounds (…) they’re from whatever I happen to be doing wherever I happen to be. But these sounds hold memories because I was there, living those moments.” These recorded sound…
Meido
This 2025 album by sound artist Yengo is a haunting exploration of sonic landscapes. Oscillators rise as if drawing curses from the depths of the underworld, surrounded by collage noise that drifts, vanishes, and gradually intensifies in ferocity. The album weaves a chilling atmosphere reminiscent of Japanese horror films with an experimental and avant-garde auditory sensibility, converging towards a sonic catastrophe. The cassette tape edition is uniquely packaged in a sleeve wrapped in bamboo …
