This meeting — developed from long-term parallel collaborations and converging musical paths — produced a set of tracks that combin…
Dras
Tip! Alex Zhang Hungtai stands in stillness on 'Dras', but it's the kind of stillness that contains entire ranges of possibility. Recorded in 2019 inside Montreal's Saint Joseph Oratory (right before a piano demolition, no less), these nine pieces sat dormant on his hard drive through pandemic years until something finally clicked. What emerges now feels like watching someone trace the contours of their own interior landscape, each melodic line a careful negotiation with the unconscious. This is…
Two Actors
Taivaskanava by Juho Toivonen. Originally released as a cassette on Grapefruit Records, now getting repressed on cd. Quiet, drifting pieces for late hours, small sounds and open space, carrying the same fragile mood as the original tape. original artwork by Arsi Keva. features spoken words by joshua burkett and plunderphonics rip-off from this kind of punishment. good luck spotting it.
“Solo work by this Finnish musician, who also runs the Akti label. Toivonen’s music is simultaneously rural and…

Hìeratico
Italian drummer, composer and sound artist Nicolas Remondino announces the release of his new album Hìeratico, a work that delves into the borderlands between ritual, abstraction and contemporary experimental music. The record presents a radical reimagining of the drum set and percussion as an autonomous sound-world, where pulse, noise and silence continuously collide and reconfigure. On Hìeratico, Remondino treats rhythm as a living architecture rather than a mere time-keeping device, building …

Recorded in high summers and brutal winters in 2022 and 2023, Nightingale Floor’s debut album Five Stagings takes the listener through a quintet of spontaneously conjured and patiently crafted pieces for a quartet of musicians scattered across North-West England.

Duvall of Liverpool four-piece Ex-Easter Island Head on sound collages, strings and trombone, with Tombed V…
Fail better
*70 copies limited edition* Eventless Plot and Bruno Duplant join forces on Fail better, a cassette release that treats failure not as an endpoint, but as a method of composition and a way of listening. Across two long-form pieces, the group carves out a delicate space between electroacoustic improvisation, minimalism and ambient abstraction, letting sounds appear, waver and erode rather than declaring them with force.
Recorded by the Thessaloniki-based trio of Vasilis Liolios, Aris Giatas and Y…

Avàvâgo Zamran!
*300 copies limited edition* “Avàvâgo Zamran!” marks a new ritual transmission under the name Arrokoth, a project initiated by Guillaume Cazalet (Neptunian Maximalism, Zaäar, Sol Kia...) as an ongoing exploration of musical primitivism, liminality, and distant cultural imaginaries.

Macchina Che Respira
Piero Fogliati’s “Macchina che respira” (1990) is a kinetic sculpture built entirely around the realization of the author’s artistic utopia: imbuing lifeless machinery with the rhythmic and self-sustaining process of an organism. It is an apparatus of ontological interrogation, positioned at the final, unstable boundary between the organic and the artifact. In “Macchina che respira”, the fundamental function of life -respiration- is translated into an industrial imperative, forcing the observer …

Music for Intersecting Planes
On Music for Intersecting Planes, Kali Malone and Leila Bordreuil braid organ, cello, sine waves and feedback into a candlelit nocturne of air and overtones, an austere yet tender ritual where space itself becomes a third instrument.
Gestures of Perception
Big Tip! Khôra is the medium Matthew Ramolo uses to delve deeply into initiatory world-building by way of sound, image, and lyrical prose. Figuring wholly realized art-myths which distill and rouse the numinous while provoking the visceral and cathartic, Khôra intricately collages studio documents of ritualized instrumental performances, introducing overdubs by transient, heteronymic personae which dismantle stable points of reference in the music and open uncommon planes of consciousness. "Gest…
Hypotaedium

Much like the source material that is re-worked, looped and cut-up throughout the piece itself, the cove…
