"the most stunning album" Elizabeth Alker, Unclassified BBC radio 3.

bright lines stretched thin,spring back and creak,little slingshot.a temporary bundle.these desk-bound daydreams,of rubber trees and sap.let's snap and break.
Experiments with building and playing rubber-band noise boxes.
Punctum
What does a venue sound like? One might approach this question by assessing the technicalities of how it handles sound: the room acoustics, the quality of the PA etc. Instead, this trio seek answers by enlivening those loose inanimates strewn silently around the venue’s edges – whatever the players could find throughout the backrooms and corners. Pots, pans, dud domestic appliances and old bicycles are hauled up from the groundfloor basement of Punctum in Prague, along with a few stones and tree…
Stratigraphy
*2026 stock* A churn of electronic noise is flung into dialogue with the smeared and manipulated bleats of a seagull horn, the former like the grind of agricultural machinery, the latter like prolonged saxophone missives or doppler-arced racetrack noise. We encounter many moments like this throughout Stratigraphy: gushes of clashing colour, sudden illuminations of jagged edges. This is how Kate Carr and Cath Roberts resist the absolute fusion of their respective sound worlds, rekindling our awar…
A Storm And It's Aftermath
*2026 stock* Carr and Donohoe eschew the typical depiction of a storm as a linear escalation. Instead they illuminate the multitude of comings-and-goings that occur throughout its lifecycle: the quietening of birdsong, the thickening and dispersal of the wind, the ever-changing texture of the rain. The title itself is an act of misdirection. Most of the runtime concerns the storm’s prelude (it’s a full half-hour before we hear the first rumble of thunder), and we’re ushered into a fadeout before…
Air / Object
*2026 stock, 50 copies limited edition* Composed of source material extracted from a recording of tuning forks in rainy weather. Vibrations of the metal, rain on contact microphone, small movements and noise from an electrical system. Comes in transparant jewel case.CD only, no digital edition ever.
Early Recordings 1991
Alan Michael Bloor was making experimental music before he started developing his now long-running harsh noise project Knurl. These recordings see Bloor using homemade instruments to create sounds that are like if John Carpenter was part of the 70s Berlin School gone lo-fi. All tracks recorded in October 1991, on the verge of harsh sound explorations that would soon become Knurl. Sourced from the original master tape in Bloor’s archive.
Wunderkammer
On Wunderkammer, Jan Bang, Michael Francis Duch, Erik Honoré, David Toop and Mark Wastell assemble a single 38‑minute live trance of electroacoustic chamber‑drift, where Moe‑Repstad’s disembodied voice moves through gongs, bass and quietly uncanny objects like a ghost cataloguing its own reliquary.
Apophony
*100 copies limited edition* Confront Recordings, the vanguard of adventurous music since 1996, proudly unveils Apophony, the captivating new album from the duo Stuart Wilding and Mike Adcock. This release delves into the mesmerizing interplay of perception and pattern, where fleeting sounds coalesce into profound auditory illusions.
Apophony emerges from the fertile ground of improvisation, blending Wilding's intricate percussion with Adcock's masterful use of piano and objects. Across ten imme…
Lemures Loci
*200 copies limited edition* The latest release from Makoto Oshiro and Takahiro Kawaguchi, who have been collaborating since around 2008. Side A, loco, reconsiders the nature of improvisation by weaving together sounds from self-made devices and (non-)instruments—air horns, electromagnetic relays, air compressors, washers—alongside environmental recordings captured outside the studio. Side B, loci, brings together field recordings captured by both artists, each starting to record at the exact sa…

Einheitliches Geschirr
*250 copies limited edition* Einheitliches Geschirr is a new album by Marie Vermont, Vienna based sound artist, musician and visual artist. Sound of Einheitliches Geschirr (Uniform Tableware) springs from techno-creative playfulness in which basic tape manipulation melts together with sounds of found objects, trash or self-made instruments and welcomes listeners to the unique dream cave netherworld of Marie Vermont. Einheitliches Geschirr was recorded between November and December 2024 in Vienna…
From Island to Island
Weaving a transient web, a dreamatorium with its own agenda thoroughly concerned about space—in—between, From island to island is a subtle sonification of deep musicality, real and surreal journeys, and a giant Maelström hiding the unknown multiverse. Invitation for the descent is open, but whether those journeys are imaginary or not, one thing is certain—both Anja Lauvdal and Manja Ristić must take the ferry home.
„Though separated by the sea between Croatia and Norway, the two artists have dev…
Corpusty
Norwich trio Germ Lattice - Joe Barton, Micky Donnelly & Louie Rice - follow 2024’s Gipping Through the Ages LP with Corpusty, written in a new studio, poised to watch the demolition of their old space from across the street. Each track unfolds in real time, combining bass, drums, voice and synthesiser with live tape manipulation, performance and playback is blurred into one shifting surface. Corpusty moves slowly through collapse and renewal, ending with the thirteen-minute drift of Old Glory f…
Aura
Sound images collected in abstract tales: this is perhaps the aspect that emerges from the explorations of “Aura”, a research in which the continuous recoding of signs is drawn at the same time from the temptation of unlimited semiosis and the structural coherence of musical composition. These pieces reflect a working method that always starts from field recordings and concrete sounds. They may have been recorded in closed or open spaces, in cities or in natural places. Their subsequent digital …
Fractured Landscape Vessels
Fractured Landscape Vessels is a collection of deconstructed sonic ceramics. Each of the four pieces is a vessel containing interconnected vignettes of space and place. Inspired by local Cornish landscapes and the drift and drag of everyday life, the work fractures field recordings of various terrain through manipulated gestures and performance. In doing so the process has created an exhibition of partial scenes, obscured photographs and fragmented pieces put back together.
Heavy Cloud is a pro…
Vents
Vents is seemingly a musical wind trio - humans playing with flutes, airdrums, bubbles… Although, in each set-up, material has its own vitality.
Mind Shadows
*250 copies limited edition* Canadian artist/composer Lance Austin Olsen, born in 1943, is active as an experimental music creator. In recent years, he has released "Coïncidence" (ftarri-964, 2022), a duo CD with French musician Bruno Duplant, on the Ftarri label, and the solo CD "The Pit" (hitorri-965, 2023), on the Hitorri label. Belgian improvisational musician and composer Pierre Gerard, born in 1966, energetically carries out musical creation in both solo work and collaborations with other …
A Hiss of Light
A Hiss of Light is the first recording made by sound artists Alanas Gurinas and Sholto Dobie. Both artists work with acoustic sound sculptures and self-made instruments made with everyday materials. In the case of Gurinas, vibrating and taught paper objects emit pulsing sine tones, organic chirps and shimmering noise that drift like weather fronts whilst in Dobie’s work, air is the main material, compressed and channeled through a set of valves, tubes and timers, into pipes of various origins.

La Lune
*2025 stock* Improvised blues indus bruitist cabaret and other sonic adventures. 300mA was born in 2004 from the spontaneous artistic union (still going strong 20 years on) of JF Plomb and Damien Grange. 300mA is injected into electroacoustic devices involving the striking, wriggling or squeaking contact of copper wires, springs, elastics and the like, while motor-driven machines are guided in their metallic percussion by Jean François Plomb (Gianfranco Piombo, Pied Gauche, Super Meilleur, Sklar…
