Tearful face of my cute love [is begging to me]
*285 copies limited edition* 'The latest entry in An’archives’ ‘Free Wind Mood’ series, Ki is a trio that pits long-time collaborators Tamio Shiraishi (saxophone, voice) and Takahashi Michiko aka Mico (drums, voice, vocoder, melodica, piano, percussion) against drummer, percussionist and vocalist Fritz Welch. They each bring a wealth of experience, from Shiraishi’s early moves in the Japanese underground of the late ‘70s and early ‘80s – he was a founding member of Fushitsusha, and played with T…
Elders
Tip! Elders is the debut release from Ensemble Nist-Nah, a nine-piece percussion group led by Nantes-based Australian drummer and percussionist Will Guthrie. The diverse group of French musicians that make up Ensemble Nist-Nah – whose collective experience encompasses traditional Gamelan performance, contemporary composition, noise, jazz, and everything in between – perform on drum kits, traditional and junk percussion, and a complete set of Javanese Gamelan instruments. Though building on the f…
Cani Lenti
Tip!! Italian duo Rosso Polare 2nd album, originally issued by Ototoku, following the wonderful 'Lettere Animali' album, which was one of Oto highlights of 2020. Cani Lenti is a collection of duels, some may say. As the two minds of Cesare Lopopolo and Annna Vezzosi converge, a dichotomy of harmonious and contrasting sounds ebb, swirl and clatter in and amongst themselves. Using techniques from call and response improvisation, tape manipulation, experimental music and free-form folk, their appro…
Music Will Ruin Everything
*300 copies limited edition* "the very reason i initiated this project was vanished in time. however, it’s not very long time since it has suspending into this “physical object is dying” and “society is dying” situation. and it’s long enough to coming back with ideas of “connecting objects and bodies over language” and “connecting an outer territory”. so i have diving back to the files again, starting editing and translating, inviting few more physical entities and fortunately yihao joined as de…
Stick Slip
First official solo album of Claire Bergerault, Stick Slip is an incredible cloud of frequencies where voice and accordion twist the space like an electronic music with psychoacoustic effects. A light and intense record at the same time, always on this acoustic border which makes the inner ear resonate like a mini oscillator.
Things In Between
Temporary Super Offer! "This album features the relatively unusual quartet line-up of two pianists and two percussionists. Equally unusual, though less so than it once was: the leader
on this date, pianist Judith Wegmann, is equally at home in improvisation and composed music. She's a composer, and an interpreter of composed music – her recording of Morton Feldman's Triadic Memories and For John Cage appeared recently on this label. But she's also a free improviser who draws on the tradition o…
Kinematics 7"
* Edition of 100. Lathe-cut 7" record with laser etching. * Kinematics is the explosive first time collaboration between multi instrumentalist Ka Baird and percussionist Chris Corsano. Side A, Ordinate, is a frenetic weave of bamboo reed pipe, bubbling vocal utterances and drums, sounding much like a cart-full of shimmering dodos on the loose with the wheels flying off. Side B, Abscissa, is a more focused beating drone that mixes layered tones from an Asian battery operated tone generator (used …
Dothe
Langlais is a composer and trained piano tuner, and this is reflected in the close attention to acoustics and tone has fed into the creation of these exquisite pieces for two prepared and alternately tuned pianos, with the results then treated to further edits and digital processing.Beautiful spectrums of sound, presented in silk-screened art sleeve by artist Damien Tran.
Sommé-e
Many superb records by drummers exist already, but JB Geoffroy has no interest in simply following in the footsteps of Chris Corsano, Man Forever or Will Guthrie, all of whom he cites as touchstones,but in this case a drum record without drums is a a step into expanded percussion and wild sonic experimentation.
Cohortes
The sound textures on the Cohortes LP were created with an Asian-inspired, homemade drum kit, assembled from various sources like kitchenware (tin pans and copper dishes), genuine ethnic music instruments (singing bowl and gongs), and complete with dismembered parts of a regular drum kit. This makeshift drum set was later expanded through sound processing and creative montage, with added synthesizer parts and field recordings also extending the palette. Making
full use of the microtonal and magi…

Parallèles
* Deluxe Edition limited and numbered to 99 copies in 200g vinyl and metallic sleeve * 1976, Vince Taylor, the Black Archangel of Rock’n’roll, agrees to come and record “Rock’n’Roll Station”, a piece of futuristic clinking of a bicycle wheel. Other sessions contrary to custom, a pigsty with microphones mired in the middle of unruly pigs, towels shaken by Pierre Bastien in the middle of this “bric-a-brac” a noisy piece in homage to Luigi Russolo repertoire reorganized by bonuses and unpublished …
Catalogue
* Deluxe Edition limited and numbered to 99 copies in 200g vinyl and metallic sleeve * 1979, the year of the album Catalogue. Jac Berrocal and his “Marquises of disorder” make the guitars rattle in primrose-sprayed vomit, patchwork of uncontrollable slows, furious accordion (Claude Parle) and martial rocks. Kind of “Micro-cinemas put end-to-end”, a maelstrom of cries and saturation which, paradoxically, an album that is worth the respect of the Punks and the contempt of jazz purists. Berrocal i…

Strange Fortune
** First pressing of 500 copies with artwork by the one and only Tiny Little Hammers ** "Underground music is filled with all kinds of characters, personalities, and peculiarities. Rare are the musical/artistic soul mates who have forged life, as well as creative, partnerships. Foundationally, the work of couples like Alice and John Coltrane or La Monte Young and Marian Zazeela set standards of artists who share a complete aesthetic worldview, in which the pair complement and lift each other to…
