Dean Brown is best known as Little Skull. A basement Florian Fricke, creating grainy chamber miniatures with the same latticework intricacy as the delicate handmade dioramas that serve as the covers of his records. He was (is?) also a member of Nova Scotia, purveyors of reed-heavy skree clouds - a band whose existence feels more like a rumor than a fact and one of the final acts on Peter Stapleton's Metonymic label.
Ben Spiers mostly performs solo and has produced a spartan architecture of lonel…
This Norwich-based trio hit our radar earlier this year when we caught their third live performance in London. Gipping Through the Ages is their debut release.
*2024 stock* "Since the early 70's and Luc Ferrari's Presque Rien N°1, we are now offered the possibility to listen to any sound coming from natural phenomenons and soundscapes as musical composition. We can listen to them as any audio-naturalist do, enjoying the different species of animals and sounds from the storm, the rain, the wind, and the space in between echoing all of them. But we can also listen to them as sounds in an acousmatic way, forgetting the different animals, the storm, the ra…
We are pleased to reissue the masterpiece cassette of the early Acid Mothers Temple, which is an exquisite mix of psychedelic and noise that creates an unidentifiable sound. The reason for the mysteriousness of the sound is the editing that forms the composition and development of the sound in a way that would normally be unthinkable, and will reaffirm the uniqueness of Acid Mothers Temple.
*199 copies limited edition* Originally named „Merz“, this album should have been Merzbow's first vinyl release, but never came out on vinyl. So actually "Yantra Material Action" is „Material Action 1“, recorded in 1981 - with sticker and insert

From his fiery experiments with firecrackers to his unconventional use of vinyl turntables and an electrified shopping cart,…
*150 copies limited edition* "[...]Ansgar Wilken uses an arsenal of sounds that is as simple as it is far-reaching, including objects and utensils whose inherent sounds sometimes sound almost computer-generated. Whether (or where and how what kind of) electronics are used is often difficult to determine, if only because the musician himself is somewhat electrified and can unexpectedly fall into machine rhythms while playing. Wilken's clapping opens up musical worlds in which, instead of virtuosi…
*80 copies limited edition* Composed for a multichannel live diffusion of wind instruments at Cinema Bellevaux in Lausanne, Switzerland, on June 16th, 2023. Sound samples by Freddie Murphy, Giovanni Lami, Mauro Sambo, Martin Mayes and Alexandra Manda.

Fanaticus is the new full length album from Organ Of Corti, the trio of Dan Johansson (Sewer Election), Mattias Gustafsson (Altar of Flies), and Joachim Nordwall (iDEAL, The Skull Defekts). A significant evolution from 2022's Auris, also released on New Forces, Fanaticus blends tape loops and analog synths into a claustrophobic exhibition of tense and curious sound. Each of these seven tracks has a depth to it that demands repeated listening. Fanaticus deftly weaves together the subtle nuances o…
"L'œil De La Tigresse" by Delphine Dora & Anaïs Tuerlinckx presents six different sonic explorations of hidden aspects of perception and past experiences. Song titles that conjures images of freedom and exploration in untamed spaces. A raw experience that explores jazz and free improvisation, the contrast between tranquility and underlying longing. Released under the Possible Motive label the album features six pieces that explore sound and identity.
Anaïs Tuerlinckx, a pianist and sound artist …
Following last year’s “the Inner Room” Freddy Ruppert continues to explore false cinematic world building within these five tracks that are exclusive to this split cassette. Focusing on heavily manipulated samples, this time he brings textures to the forefront, in a blend of creeping ambient noir, synthetic realms, and hazy atmosphere. Although very often simply filled with the most basic vocabulary of the harsh noise canon, the releases - sometimes criminally obscure and limited - of Josh Stewa…
"If you are familiar with the two names here you are probably right about what to expect from this tape. Francesco sent instruments and field recordings from Italy and Jonas mixed them with more music, sounds and tape acrobatics." - JDV
A c60 compilation. One hour of new ecordings from the likes of Sewer Election, Jordmenneske, and a lot of promising new local projects. Cassette in a5 sleeve.
Biiig Tip! This is a strange one. Originally conceived as part of an anarchistic publication, the tracks culled from two live performances at separate locations in London’s Shoreditch got as far as the test pressing stage as long as 5 years ago and then forgotten. The publication never materialised and the cut lacquers and metalwork lay languishing in a dark corner on a dusty bottom shelf in the pressing plants storeroom. Forgotten until we were presented with a hefty bill for production and s…
*60 copies limited edition* “The ghost it is, who has come into possession of the Tao, reigns over gods and demons, and gives birth to heavens and earth. It kills the undying, and breathes life into the unborn. The sounds it creates, there is nothing it cannot still, nothing it cannot heave, nothing it cannot destroy, and nothing it cannot make.” In Chinese, “big ghost” is a phrase sometimes used to convey a sense of utter out-of-placeness. If you see a big ghost, you find someone who walks the …
