Hell Bank Note (1993 - 1995)
Burning Love Jumpsuit were an Underground Irish band of movie obsessive shut ins who had access to a computer. They were active between 1991 – 2002. A three-piece of proto-edgelords, (D.F. Dresden, Smiley, J. Bassetti) Burning Love Jumpsuit jammed and sampled their way to notoriety in the 1990s, making experimental music that was equal parts thought-provoking funk and stroke-inducing gunk. A penchant for sleazy Americana, obscure movies and exploitative daytime telly inspired a pool of samples t…
Tokokawa
Tip! *300 copies limited edition* “This collaborative release presents three immersive movements of avant-electronics full of unexpected tonal contrasts and shifts in intensity. Powered by modular synthesis, “concrete” assemblage technique and a pervasive desire to work with the full spectrum of sound. Tokokawa is the product of its two producers’ commitment to a dynamic, ever-renewing sense of aesthetics.” -Thomas Bey William Bailey
Composed from 2023 to 2024, these three pieces present a deep …
The Least of Both Worlds
Scratching surfaces and moving through a sense of non meaning confusion stuck in a place that pushes mysterious sense of forshadowing and disheveled overture. Stretching and breaking live and deconstructed recordings assembled at two sites, deconstructed and reassembled for our pleasure and possibly yous. Shadow Glass is the new duo of Nathan Ivanco and Matthew Conzett.
Wild Blues (Laminar Edit)

Violent Semi-Abstract
Debut duo recording of LAFMS-founder and Airway maestro Joe Potts and John Wiese. Recorded during the Joe & Joe/John Wiese mid-west tour of 2018. Melting/sweating tape music/chopped optigan.
Metaphysical Swatting
After emerging from a red shag-carpeted basement in Baltimore in 2012, Comfort Link produced a series of skewed concrete muzak albums knitted together with wobbly tape loops of found and recycled sounds, gradually shifting toward a darker post-industrial sound collage style on more recent releases. On Metaphysical Swatting, battered reel-to-reel tape machines and portable cassette recorders scramble up the primary sound sources of voice and organ - ancient reels of tape with loose oxide are over…
Dorwytch
British experimental musician Alexander Tucker releases his Thrill Jockey debut Dorwytch in April 2011. This record breaks new ground for Tucker by combining minimalist string arrangements with electronic manipulations and drones to produce doom chamber-pop songs and psychedelic music-concrete collages. Tucker’s sound has developed over the years since his first self-titled solo album, which featured acoustic finger-picking, experimental electronics and was released on Jackie O Motherfucker’s U-…
Appleton Syntonic Menagerie
Tip! *2024 stock* Jon Appleton, born in Hollywood (1939) but mainly active in New York, was one of the pioneers of electronic music. His work on Syntonic Menagerie (Flying Dutchman, 1969), and Human Music (Flying Dutchman, 1970), with Don Cherry, introduced electronic instruments to a wider audience.
Random Architecture
A set of kinetic and sometimes meditative sound collages built from recordings shared between both artists, their first recording together. The element of chance was adapted into the editing process, resulting in vibrantly textured layers that interact with each other in unpredictable ways.
Non Living Nature: Compositions For Dictaphone
"In 2020, I bought a used Sanyo M-5799 dictaphone, from the internet. The dictaphone arrived with a mini cassette. When I played the tape, there was a recording from the previous owner. He was testing the recorder, to see if it was functional, but at some point he recorded the words "... Less to be, not to be". These "messege" from this old man standed to me like he wanted me to listen his advice or his existential fears"
This album is dedicated to this man, to the concept of "the end of humanit…
Moldy Cushions
"Moldy Cushions was recorded from the summer of 2022 until spring 2023 at my new Clamorworks studio in San Pablo, California. Additional parts were recorded in Brasília, Brazil while working on the SESILab science museum and in Hyderabad, India while on tour with Seeded Plain. This is my first solo album since 2016's Bizarre Flight on Gertrude Tapes, with most of the time in-between focused on other collaborative projects.The pieces on Moldy Cushions started as improvised sketches, with many of …
Channelling
*300 copies limited edition* Channelling is a kinetic sound performance that utilizes various components salvaged from discarded and obsolete consumer technology, reanimating them by piping amplified sound through them. The motors and mechanisms respond to these sound impulses in erratic and unpredictable ways. The actions of, and emanations from, the devices are subsequently amplified.
"An array or swarm of vitalities, intertwined, of non human powers which transit channels. Trajectories that f…

Electric
*2024 stock* Arne Nordheim is among Norway’s most important post-war composers, particularly among those working within the field of avant-garde electronic music. Nordheim studied studied Musique concrète in Paris during the mid 1950’s, expanding his practice in Holland toward electronics and synthesis during the end of that decade. Upon returning home, he embarked on a stunning body of work, stretching over the coming decades. The composer’s works in these fields are a marvel - standing with th…
Nordheim Transformed
*Stock 2024* When Rune Grammofon got going as a record label, one of their first projects was reissuing pioneering work by Norwegian artist Arne Nordheim, who dealt in some experimental works in the late 60s before developing a career as a composer. As a response of sorts from the next generation, Biosphere and Deathprod endeavoured to remix some of Nordheim's prescient pieces through their respective modern lenses. Originally released in 1998 and sounding as vital and inventive 25 years later, …
Puzzle Wood
*2024 stock* "A master in electroacoustic music and digital sound manipulation, English composer Natasha Barrett leaves few traces of familiar sounds or instruments in her music, although the audio sources often are acoustic. Here she performs five of her compositions composed between 1994 and 1997. The album's newest composition, 'Animalcules' is from 2010.
The title Puzzle Wood refers to a forest in Gloucestershire, where Barrett grew up, and also gives name to this album's key track, and olde…
Aslope
Tip! To get a good handle on ‘Aslope’ look no further than the intricate ‘Scattered sprinkle, no turn’, a 12+ minute collage of moonlit organ vamps, stifled voices and disembodied, robotic poems. Heaving from smeary abstraction to penetrable drama almost imperceptibly, featherlight rhythms are cut short by uncanny voices: “stop, turning, a page,” like some rogue navigation assistant, slicing into ticking clocks and xerox noise. It’s like listening to a film without access to the visuals - all th…
