Loose Ends
Filatelie is proud to announce the release of "Loose Ends", the latest album by the enigmatic California-based artist Darksmith. Released on June 6, 2025, "Loose Ends" is a bold new chapter in Darksmith’s ongoing exploration of experimental sound and audio collage.
"Loose Ends" is a two-part journey that delves deep into the world of lo-fi musique concrète and noise, a signature style that has defined Darksmith’s work for over fifteen years. The album’s structure—simply titled "Part One" and "Pa…

L'Makina
Gilles Aubry’s musical work focuses on the intersection of traditional music and Artificial Intelligence.
True than Nature
True than Nature encourages active listening. There is sound that exists seemingly for its own sake – a continuing drone that slowly evolves, sound of nature – and there are sounds that refer to a momentary action, and sudden intrusions of sound. BJ Nilsen triggers shifts in the perception for the listener that alter how you perceive and experience the world through sound, and how you think about sound.
Listening to True than Nature is full of moments of instability. The shifts between sound spa…
A Book of Waves
"After playing together for years, our tide was turning. What began as a happy rhythm of show dates in Berlin, from cozy trios in Klaus’ home studio to ten-piece ensembles at Ausland, was now ebbing away thanks to Andy’s move to the US. Whenever an accustomed pattern shifts it can take time to readjust, to find the gravity that will pull to shape an orbit again. What had been working well between us remained on both our minds for a few years after: the tension between complimentary forms and ref…
Ego Eraser
Laserdisc Lathe Cut! Inkasso again. Earlier 2024 a vinyl on Stockholm’s käfTen, now a Laser Disc with an arcane vinyl Late cut via the home address, so Kashual, so Plastik. As ever the inexplicable Berlin-based duo provides controlled chaos. This time not as harsh as they can do. It’s a slightly gentle approach to rhythm machines and synthesizers. Their unpredictable patterns hit calmer, tripping catchy on silver. The Laser Disc Late cut comes with a custom-made cover, shines like a star, and br…
mathematical model 0010
*300 copies limited edition* Drawing from field recordings collected during a trip to Japan, boring tables saturates sonic vignettes in sentimental key, replaying familiar traces of lived experience into something more abstract. The seven tracks on mathematical model 0010, Luca Quartarone's debut album, trail through evolving tonal expanses that envelop the environment in a perpetually expanding haze of serenity. Though sonic fragments hail from the everyday, the compositions themselves inevitab…
To Septiske Membraner
To Septiske Membraner by Cría Cuervos is a fluid mesh of musique concrète, water textures, and field recordings. Bubbling noise fluxes through submerged sonic layers, creating an immersive, decaying environment of shifting acoustic debris.
Sords
Sords by Meilt blends noise, musique concrète, and lofi tape textures into a gritty, abstract sound collage. Saturated loops, found sounds, and analog decay create a visceral, fragmented listening experience rooted in sonic experimentation.

Baboon and Chest
From the frayed edges of sounds that once hummed and the lingering ghost of forgotten amplifier feedback & the unanswered answering machine message echo, Glands of External Secretion return with their most different album until the next one. "Baboon and Chest" is a four-pronged stumble through the usual-yet-unusual and weird-yet-no-weird delightful auditory wreckage. This "collection" stitches together echoes across time, from 1987 to 2025 and from San Francisco and Long Beach then to Edinburgh …
Circuits
A moment of first encounters, Circuits is the sound of four musicians (Savvas Metaxas, Evi Nakou, Giannis Arapis, Dimitris Tigkas)navigating an unfamiliar terrain in real-time, their individual languages dissolving into a shared improvisational space. Subtle drones, resonant feedback and textural gestures underpin the ensemble’s interplay. Circuits is the sum of raw, expressive utterances—melodic remnants shifting from pulse to friction, from bow, to frets, through fingertips. A single-take impr…
Compressed Knowledge
Radio Species’ “Compressed Knowledge” offers elusive, collage-based soundscapes—stuttering loops, fragmented speech, and ambient noise—evoking speculative reconstruction and experimental archaeology.
Les Météores du Coeur
Yvan Etienne creates sound installations and performances blending composition and perception. His work explores acoustic and electronic spaces, memory, and psyche, often in site-specific contexts.

Decay Music 10: And I Entered Into Sleep
*200 copies limited edition* Reconfiguring the notion of bridge building on a multitude of terms, it feels fitting that the tenth and final installment of Die Schachtel’s Decay Music series, Sergio Armaroli and David Toop’s “And I Entered Into Sleep”, was co-created by an artist whose work featured in the first suite of LPs issued by Brian Eno’s Obscure Records in 1975, the groundwork toward which Decay Music’s own efforts nod. Since that auspicious debut, “New and Rediscovered Musical Instrumen…

There’s a rawness her…
