Saudade
“Saudade” is the new solo album by Ramon Moro — a journey for trumpet, flugelhorn and analog effects.Eight compositions move through melancholy, memory and light, blending contemporary jazz, ambient textures and refined sound research. The album opens with See You Soon, a brief poetic prelude that sets an intimate, cinematic tone. From Atena, Eirene and Afrodite — tributes to the archetypal feminine — to Tatreez, inspired by the Palestinian embroidery tradition, the record shapes a suspended and…

Awesome Entities
*2016 release, 2026 stock* Guitarist/ daxophone player Kazuhisa Utsubashi and modular-synth player Richard Scott — as the title says, an improvised duo that is an “astonishing presence”!

State Music
On State Music, Laurent Güdel turns his fascination with classic electronic studios into a political instrument, folding EMS, KSYME, Radio Belgrade and Columbia CMC into a critical sound‑essay on funding, soft power and the uneasy bond between DIY dreams and state apparatus.
Geometric Reason
On Geometric Reason, Sissy Spacek reroute their long‑running extremism into a jagged strain of musique concrète, splicing voice, electronics and acoustic shards into a volatile collage charged by fire‑displacement, Japanese connections and their enduring taste for rupture.
Electric Garden

Wind Dynamic Organ, Deviations

On this latter work they use the organ’s tones…
Split
South Bohemia's Remnant (also well known for his activities as Chevallier Skrog, Cosmic Cause Productions, Pant Y Meddygon among many others...) and Western Alps exile Elisha Morningstar share this one hour long split... Plenty of tense and deranged waves of noise on the eastern side, quieter dark -mostly synth or guitar driven - tones on western side...
In the Beginning
On In the Beginning, Gadea scores Ala Nunu’s animated essay on anthropocentrism with a delicately disorienting language: hushed electro‑acoustics, ghosted field recordings and Marina Herlop’s voice tracing fragile halos around three surreal, all‑too‑real stories.

Precious Moments
*100 copies limited edition* Sculptural, dreamlike and intimately detailed, Precious Moments is the fourth album by singer and composer Oliver Mann - this time in collaboration with acclaimed Bologna electro-acoustic composer and guitarist Stefano Pilia. A tender remembrance across nine short tracks exploring the affinity and thrills of friendship in a time when we all have internalised distance, the album features guests Mick Turner (Dirty Three / Mess Esque / Cat Power) and a scene stealing ca…

Rivage(s)
*300 copies limited edition* In 2021, at the invitation of Chant du Moineau, Le Un experimented in collective spontaneous creating on a section of the Dordogne River. In an aquatic and poetic logic of space, Le Un continued its research along the Gironde estuary.

Understatements

Displaces
On Displaces, sound artist Francesco Fabris fashions a high‑dimensional cartography of memory, hyperobjects and matter, where langspil, biophonies and geophonies are folded into phased time‑space, drifting between suffocation and release in an eerily tactile sonic ecosystem.
