Dunstkreis
*100 copies limited edition* Label head Kobermann returns with a cast of local associates, mostly all new names to us, clustering a varied batch of styles / sounds that skirt round the very edge of the dance floor and bleeds out into the aether. The title ‘Dunstkreis’ or ‘Haze Circle’ for the non-Deutsch speakers, captures it beautifully, with Voyage Futur’s mellow Rhodes chord opener and the cosmic smog of Blacklight Chameleon fogging out the room. Sparring partners and regular ANF favourites…

A Bridge Over The Lagoon
Dean Brown is best known as Little Skull. A basement Florian Fricke, creating grainy chamber miniatures with the same latticework intricacy as the delicate handmade dioramas that serve as the covers of his records. He was (is?) also a member of Nova Scotia, purveyors of reed-heavy skree clouds - a band whose existence feels more like a rumor than a fact and one of the final acts on Peter Stapleton's Metonymic label.
Ben Spiers mostly performs solo and has produced a spartan architecture of lonel…
s/t
Strzał w kolano (eng: Shot in the knee) is a solo project of Jakub Majchrzak (ex Kurws) that began with a concert in Lisbon back in 2017 and has recently been revived. The foundation of this project is a classical guitar (tuned quarter-tone) connected via a piezo microphone to separate guitar amplifiers. The signals emanating from the amplifiers are given distinct identities through horizontal and vertical processing or static manipulation within the texture of the sounds themselves.

Live in Porto, 24 November 1989
A historical live recording by Blaine L. Reininger and Steven Brown, founders of legendary post-punk band Tuxedomoon, here in their parallel guise as a classical piano and violin duo, one they have maintained throughout the decades.
This is the "other" 1989 Blaine and Steven concert in Portugal, performed two days after the Lisbon gig immortalised many moons ago on "One Hundred Years of Music". "Live in Porto 1989" is undoubtedly the better of the two gigs (just listen to "Iberia"!…), but the oc…
Mind How You Go
Tip! An expanded album length version of the 2006 Advisory Circle EP Mind How You Go, inspired by the world of TV Public Information Films. Remember, electricity cannot be seen or heard. Harmful, invisible forces surround us everywhere we go. Fortunately The Advisory Circle is on hand to help us make the right decisions. Mind How You Go is an alchemical distillation of the sound of Public Information Films. Spooky, catchy and witty
This new album length version of Mind How You Go includes four n…

The Creeps
An experiment in parallel play, The Creeps is an ensemble of soloists deeply rooted in their individual musical practices, working on their own together to weave this unsettling world. The Creeps burst forth in a live performance in downtown Los Angeles before reuniting in the studio to prove the experiment repeatable.
On Bare Ground
*200 copies limited edition* Red Brut’s third album, "On Bare Ground", is a sonic tapestry woven from the final threads of her Rotterdam existence. Entirely composed of soundscapes captured during her last two years in the city, the album evolves into a poignant farewell as its creation mirrors the passage of time, culminating in a profound departure from her life there. “On Bare Ground” is a sculptural work blending its lo-fi with haunting melodies, field recordings, and ethereal soundscapes. U…

Wovenland 3
"Wovenland became a band. But we never do live shows. Our band activities are mainly editing in a studio. Our goal is to focus on acoustic experiments. No more and no less. We have been active for a total of about 10 days, including meetings, in 7 years. We are now disbanding." - Toshiya Tsunoda & Taku Unami
Bottling House
When the quartet of Luke Martin, Gabriel Salomon, Klaus Janek and Andy Graydon gathered to record an afternoon of sessions in Andy's studio, it was both the result of years of cultivation and an afterthought. Klaus and Andy had been long-time, and now long-distance, collaborators since their shared years in Berlin. That city was also where Andy was introduced to Gabriel at one of his solo performances by their mutual friend, the painter Paul McDevitt. Years passed, and cities. After meeting and …
(ii)
*100 copies limited edition* On their debut album (ii), London & Vienna-based duo Bara & Isa present their singular version of devotional music. Described by the duo as a "sort of document of personal development, and also the struggles of everyday motions", this is music which embraces contradictions. Themes of reflection, acceptance and care sit side by side with notions of spiralling and falling, as Bara & Isa explore the nuances and complexities of quotidian life.

Mogador
"Mogador" stands as a compelling exploration of the intersection between seemingly irreconcilable musical worlds: the experimental realm of analog electronic music and the deep-rooted tradition of Gnawa. This project is more than just a juxtaposition of styles; it’s a meeting of minds where the ancient and the modern, the analog and the organic, are woven together into a seamless auditory dialogue.
What truly sets "Mogador" apart is the way Pedro Vian’s use of the EMS AKS Synthi and Buchla doesn…
Punti d'incontro
In ‘Punti d'Incontro’ the sound is fragmented and broken up, just like splinters or bits of broken glass, into infinite pieces. Through the stages of duets and trios, Eugenio Sanna, Lucio Bonaldo and Michele Scariot give life to buzzings, high-pitched sounds, like pinheads looking at and observing each other with caution, forming strange, gelatinous agglomerates; bewildered melodies that are swallowed up through a visionary plot and enter, swallowed up, into the gaps of an infinite space, in a r…
Due scritti imperfetti
Tip! "Due scritti imperfetti" contains three compositions meticulously put together by Giancarlo Toniutti, Deison and Massimo Toniutti. The location chosen for this collaboration was primarily the recording studio in Udine where, in a two-year timespan, the authors met to discuss, compose, record, trim, listening back, sifting out sounds and adapting their electro-acoustic mixtures.The music or rather 'musics' that emerged during this progress, represent different versions of ongoing experiments…
