I’m going to have to ask you to
*Dubbed on new ferro tapes* One long composition for each side. Reminding me of an ultra-stretched version of the beautiful interplays on talktalk’s spirit of eden. Brittle percussive repetitions and muted trumpets slowly maneuvering into lovely tensions.
Compiled loops & experiments
*Dubbed on new ferro tapes* Tape loops, wind-up gramophone manipulations, and other audio fascinations. All of these sounds share the fact that they didn’t fit into any other release. Collected throughout 2024 and 2025, they were set aside on my harddrive. This is a documentation of scrap material, assembled in rough form.
Erica
A collection of photographs of everyday life, just passing by, on a constant search for those minimal hidden details, mysterious, yet full of awareness, meditative yet bristling with fervor. Mira’s debut for Maple Death ‘Erica’ reveals the artist’s constant transformation, a dense collection of six melancholy vignettes that spin cinematic neo-classical minimalism into slow-tranced lullabies and ancient folklore chants. Based between Rome and Torino the violinist and composer is a beloved figure …

Fiat Lux
“Creative collaboration could lead to tension or disagreements, but here it’s all about freedom, joy, and acceptance. Deeply rooted in respect and love. And that radiates through the music. I lived the process, but I hope people will feel that vibe.”

Dimension Scrolling
"For his first Mondoj release, Finnish musician Olli Aarni journeys to the wide oblique, where shapes are implied by slants of light previously thought impossible, coming from sources dispersed and hidden. The paranoid eye turns them into phantasms: distant pop songs, fields of fair folk spinning vocoded fudge, an exquisite tasting menu, the shiny towers of an inflatable castle protruding from underground. Scientific inquiry reveals spoken word, diatonic harmony, wide stereo fields, spectral she…

Eikon
Two years following his work 'Monumento Fiume', Giovanni Lami returns to Kohlhaas with a new release, once again investigating the intricate relationships between memory, the sonic medium, and decay. 'Eikon' originates from a series of acoustic cello recordings, subsequently disassembled and transformed by Lami, resulting in a unique deconstructed and layered object, lying somewhere at the intersection of soundtrack, decomposed ambient and video game music, shaped through the use of samplers, a …
