Quatre instantanés d'un tapeur à gages
Antoine Alcaraz is a French electroacoustic composer based in Paris whose work lies at the intersection of acousmatic composition, performance, and experimental sound practices. He specialized in electroacoustic composition in 2019 at the CRR de Paris, studying notably with Denis Dufour, and developed a compositional style informed by dialogue with poetry, the visual arts, and imagery. In 2024, he composed “Près de Nous,” an audiovisual piece adapted from a text by Virginia Woolf. Since Septembe…
Hystérésis
*200 copies limited edition* In 2019, Jérôme Noetinger was invited to join the PIO (Prague Improvisation Orchestra) and there he met Petr Vrba. The chance of touring and musical excitement created this duo afterwards. Petr Vrba works with the trumpet in a very electroacoustic approach with microphones and effects, transforming the instrument into a real generator. Jérôme Noetinger plays magnetic loops on his Revox B77 to metamorphose the sound captured in the moment of its creation.
Together the…
Flowers Of Loneliness
Acoustic ambient from the headquarter. Late night recordings for sleepless recluses
søsterhøjeksperimentet
Sune T B Nielsen has been active for 30 years in the danish underground. He has played in many different experimental music constellations, and is one of the founding fathers behind the venue Mayhem, maybe the most important venue for danish experimental music in the last 15 years. So I’m very happy to release his first actual solo recording. This tape consists of around one and a half hour of prepared piano recordings, inspired by sci-fi books/movies and paranormal research. The tape has been i…
Window Left Open
*300 copies limited edition* Keith Freund’s music occupies a space where careful musicianship and homebrewed experimentation meet and shake hands. On “Window Left Open,” spacious melodies drift through dense fields of electronic activity: saxophone lines rise above buzzing circuitry, percussion flickers at the edges of the frame, and clustered glitch textures dart through the music like insects in tall summer grass. Every sound feels vividly animated, a charged part of the same mercurial ecosyst…
Crónicas del Sol de Bambú
La Isla Borrego gathers fragments and echoes from the last few years. Based on an invented dream, this is not a composition, but a sediment; not a field recording, but an archive of mistreated memories. There is no map for La Isla Borrego. Instead, there is the architecture of an invented dream: an accumulation of acoustic residue shipwrecked on the conscious island of the last six years. Sounds are not emitted, but reflected and bounced. A catalogue of biographical errors; a series of echoes sa…
Nothing Is Hidden
"In the fall of 2016, after many years away from making music, I started Tyresta as a creative outlet to help process everything I was going through at the time. It took me a few years to find my voice as an artist, but I feel like the project truly came into its own around 2019–2020 with the recording and release of All We Have on PITP. After releasing All We Have and its follow-up, Small Hours (2023)—albums centered on grief, loss, and healing—I found myself wanting to write music that reflect…
Stochastic Parrot
In the past some reviewers and critics of my series of Ambient / Electronic / Exotic releases mentioned Jon Hassell and even suggested that we should make an album together.
That never happened of course and probably never would have. An influence of his music on my exotica music is in some ways true but initially to be honest it was the cover art by Mati Klarwein for Aka/ Darbari/ Java and Dream Theory in Malaya that I would sometimes turn to look at for inspiration. They reminded me of places t…
Fray Field
For a long time, we had been working on a very different album, guided by a simple set of methods: feedback, the layering of short sound fragments, and a process of repeated listening through which memory and response gradually accumulated. At a certain point, we felt the need to step away from that framework, if only temporarily. We decided instead to engage in a free musical exchange and explore a conversation through improvisation. It's from that encounter this body of music emerged. When we …
AT/DC
"I first knew of Darren through his earlier band Gerling, who were an inspiration to me at a time when I was absorbing new sounds, genre experimentation and discovering the broader world at large. In recent years we’ve come to know each other and become friends, as our musical paths have in many ways aligned. Darren’s D.C Cross solo/‘ecstatic' guitar project is responsible for some of the finest current wave of that form of music going around and it’s been a pleasure hearing the project develop …
Variierende Töne Vol.II - membranes + machines
Descending from the first volume, Variierende Töne vol.II retraces the essential threads of the label, this time through two parallel perspectives: membranes + machines. A continuity of path, where past and future blur into new readings, into sounds that move between repose and tension, between presence and absence.
The work is divided into two movements. Side A: an immersion in organic matter—field recordings, acoustic research, surfaces shaped by Hanna Maria & Mattia Onori, Marco Ragni & Leona…
The Swamp Live
The Swamp’ is a get-to-know-you party where furniture is broken, wine glasses are smashed and walls are defaced with graffiti, but the living room remains more beautiful than the night before. The album is the first meeting between vocalist Maja S. K. Ratkje, guitarist Torstein Slåen and electronics artist Sigurd Ytre-Arne. With a fair dose of anti-bullshit inherited from decades of jazz/improv/contemporary music mixed together in the Norwegian stew pot, they improvise new songs across time, aes…
Tongue Ebbing Into a Tenebrist Dusk
*25 copies limited edition. Includes a Solar Magic Tongue Amulet, an envelope with a handwritten poem, and a small bell. Signed and numbered editions made by NNN Cook.* "On his new album Tongue Ebbing Into a Tenebrist Dusk, St. Louis artist NNN Cook explores the complex terrain of speech and thought, of quiet interiority and the outward expressions that can emerge from it. Following this interest in language, each track title presents a variation on a tongue depicted in a new tint, though the tr…
Wyszymory
Maciej Envee Goliński is an artist who probably needs no introduction. He has been working with U Know Me practically since the label's inception. His last album ("Time & Light") made a huge impact worldwide, but we had to wait eight years for the next vinyl release. In the meantime, Maciej has certainly been busy – he has released numerous club singles under several aliases, and has helped record and mix numerous albums from the world of jazz, soul, and electronica. "Wyszymory" is a carefully c…
4ever
Violeta García and Hora Lunga return with 4ever, their second album and the follow-up to I’ll Wait For You In The Car Park. Released in 2025 on -ous, their debut received airplay on BBC and NTS and was selected for Bandcamp’s Best Experimental Music year-end list. 4ever picks up where that record left off: in ordinary moments, small scenes and the strange emotional weight of being somewhere between places. But here, these moments are stretched across a much larger, darker screen. A night flight,…
Enthalpy
*300 copies limited edition* Pressure is the medium of wind players. Wind instruments all sound thanks to pressure differentials, whether that’s the rush of wind over a lip plate or a steady, buzzing exhalation through pursed lips. Ka Baird and Chris Ryan Williams (HxH) are wind players well- schooled in the power of using pressure and movement to amplify the mystery of an invisible force animating a metal tube. They augment their instruments, flute and trumpet respectively, with electronics, so…
Phren
On Phren, Marta Salogni and Stefano Pilia build a shared electro‑acoustic architecture where guitar, tape machines and field recordings circulate like memory in motion. Signals move through modular processes, echoes and Revox loops until origin and reflection blur, turning six slow‑unfolding pieces into a living study of sound, time and feeling.
Where the fish are as fine as the color of colors
Wistful meta-folk from the American Midwest, self-published by US musician and occasional ANF customer Erik Kramer - totally floored by this.
Música Electroacústica Centroamericana - Vol. 1
100 copies limited edition, on white/blue vinyl edition Accessing the history of avant-garde and experimental music from Latin America has always been a complex affair - the true breadth of activity during the second half of the 20th Century sinfully under-documented, the result of political and economic circumstances that unfolded across decades. Over the last years, reissues have begun illuminating the remarkable creative triumphs that transpired in Peru, Chile, Argentina, Cuba, Brazil, Venezu…
Rope
*200 copies limited edition* Rope is a collaborative improvisation between musician and producer Al Wootton and musician and percussionist Irene Bianco. Wootton’s hardware processing of various sampling methods, plus guitar, bass guitar and clarinet, provides a counterpoint for Bianco’s experimental treatments of drum kit, bells, vibraphone and other percussion instruments. The result is foggy, dubbed out, glacial, free form compositions that defy categorization.
