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 …

Music For Stanford
2004 release ** "Dexter George Morrill (1938-2019) was a composer, trumpet player, and professor of music best known for his collaboration with jazz saxophonist, Stan Getz during the premiere of 'Getz Variations for tenor saxophone and tape' (1984); a Morrill composition which merged jazz improvisation with computer-generated sounds.

Temps en Terre
2025 stock ** "Temps En Terre is the fifth album release from L'ocelle Mare, and the first to have been recorded in a studio. The preceding releases were characterised by a marked acoustic: the echoey reverberations inherent to Serpentement were thanks to the protestant temple it was recorded in; Engourdissement was entirely recorded in forest expanses, upon ponds and enclosed within remote wood cabins; Porte d'Octobre was recorded entirely in urban spaces; and his first, unnamed album was entir…
Serpentement
2025 stock ** "The solitary project of Thomas Bonvalet initially focused on the nylon string guitar, taking short, dynamic and abrupt forms and limiting itself exclusively to the acoustic possibilities of the instrument. A radical posture, it constantly threatened to put itself at an impasse, seeing itself forced into metamorphosis and movement. The instrument thus became less and less identifiable. At the periphery it absorbed the sound of objects (metronome, tuning forks...) deviating from the…
Introduction Of "Blue Of Noon"
2010 release ** "The Polish MonotypeRec has become the breeding ground for applied music. Recently, one interesting experimental release after another has been rolling off the press. Some elusive and incomprehensibly intriguing and others within the slightly more common frameworks. The first category includes the new collaboration between Olga Magieres and Tetsuo Furudate. Olga Magieres was born in Russia in 1955, but has lived in Denmark since 1971. Here she became a classically trained pianist…
Enjoy Country Music
Tommaso Rolando and Domiziano Maselli met at the release party for Emilio Pozzolini's latest album, thanks to Emilio's invitation. This proved to be a pivotal moment; Tommaso's planned tour of southern France had been cancelled due to COVID-related disruptions within Orchestra Bailam. Since that concert, the duo has shared common ground—stages, rehearsal spaces, video calls—and a shared goal: developing a genuine and personal musical vocabulary.Despite their different backgrounds and generationa…

Mutants In Siberia
Petr Vrba and Joke Lanz met each other many years ago while standing in the cue for the Hermitage museum in Saint Petersburg Russia. They never made it into the museum, instead they went to eat Solyanka soup and drunk red wine from Georgia. That’s when they decided to join forces and create a power duo w/ electrified trumpet, turntables, electronics and voice. They have toured Czech Republic twice and performed several times in Vienna and Berlin. Mutants In Siberia is their debut album recorded …
Au Royaume Du Silencieux
1992 release ** "The 3rd and final album by Les Granules. The pieces on this album are recorded in real time and without overlays. Each of the composed or improvised pieces was subsequently the subject of serious alterations by collage. Slight differences in pulsation, tuning, and subtle shifts from one beat to another, from one type of sound recording to another, were highlighted rather than hidden, producing the effect of a mosaic or quilt. "

Each plumbing the radical possibilities of small and discreet sounds in remarkably singular ways, each of these startling creative stat…
Edaphon
In London I found a perfume that smelled like a brownie made entirely out of wet soil. It was inedible, but still very “cake”. “It’s our signature scent”, said the shopkeeper. But I used to make that cake as a child, with my child hands. I looked at the square bottle and it was me. Chocolate-like, but of the earth. Under our balcony I used to make garden stew in a clay pot with mud and pebbles. I stepped frantically on puffball mushrooms under a tree to make the steam. It didn't matter that the …

It is the first collaborative effort of Joseph Schlam and Alexander Cooper, made in the attic of a childhood home, and launches the label’s efforts.

If It Works, It’s Obsolete
*2025 stock* "Bong Watt is the sound for Oscar Reutersvärd’s drawings. Impossible shapes bent within the conscious as sonic earwigs burrow holes in the frontal lobe. Trying to think about “If It Works, It’s Obsolete” is beyond true abilities. There is no beginning, no destination to get to, only a micro-dose of sound chaos that becomes more familiar with each listen. With many listens in the tank, Walter Wright and Al Margolis (Elka Bong) with Mike Watt create the most subtly gentle entropy.

III
*2025 stock* "Behind the acronym KBD, we find Michael Kimaid (drums and percussion), Gabriel Beam (modular synthesiser and live sampling) and Ryan Dohm (trumpet, sampler, and tapes). This is their third cassette for Eh? Records and the first one I hear. They recorded both sides in concert, the first at The Noisy Attic, Toledo, Ohio, on 27 December 2023 and the second at The Lightbox: Kalamazoo, Michigan, on 5 October 2023. From the information I understand, they play long-form improvisational so…
Stephen Flinn / Bryan Eubanks
"Water ripples in outward patterns with the slightest disturbance. Peaceful space is found within the live performance of Stephen Flinn & Bryan Eubanks, and like glassy surfaced bodies of water, their sonic energy sends waves through the conscious. The balance rests on patience and understanding. Their instruments easily have the ability to crash the tranquil spirit, but their wisdom of how these sounds are unleashed is true testament to their alluring symphony. Stephen Flinn is the force behind…
White Wuff
"Public Eyesore has been releasing improvised and experimental music for over two decades and it never ceases to amaze me how interesting line ups Bryan who leads the label is coming up with. White Wuff is by any means no exception. When I read the liner notes I knew it is going to be a great musical adventure. Beautifully designed and released as a cd with 12 tracks that comprise different moods, travelling through genres. It's a pretty eclectic hybrid of various bits put into one mammoth of an…
