In the Depth of Illusion: A Soundtrack for Nervous Magic Lantern
"Ken Jacobs, an essential figure of avant-garde cinema, and I had over-a-decade-long collaboration. We first performed fo his Nervous Magic Lantern project at the Argos Festival in Brussels in 2007. Before flying to Europe, Ken invited me to the top-floor loft on Chambers Street in TriBeCa, where Ken and his wife, Flo, have lived and worked since 1965, to experience a private screening. He turned on the apparatus and the image flashed onto the screen: geometric patterns — something of a Rorschac…
There is No Fire in the Lake
"There Is no Fire in the Lake' is Duncan Harrison's first full length album since 2019. Hovering between motion and stasis, Harrison tilts his magnifying glass toward the elusive undercurrents of the day-to-day, embracing imperfections and voids within. The physicality of magnetic tape has always been a key component of his approach, but here it becomes a language in itself; the cycling spools and hissing negative space telling tales that lurk just below the surfaces of intelligibility, exhausti…

Il lago è il cielo del bosco e tutte le rane cantano in coro
* Limited edition of 200 copies, comes with insert * La Festa delle Rane (literally the frog's party) are one of the most singular outputs from the vibrant Italian underground community of the last couple of years. Innocent, at times flawed, full of candour and tenderness and just enough spice to make things take a grandiose detour into the eerie and unsettling. Il lago è il cielo del bosco e tutte le rane cantano in coro originally released on tape for Ruego in 2022 and now remastered for viny…

The Suddering Years
*100 copies limited edition* G Lucas Crane returns with a huge slab of new sound work drawn from the last two years of vibrating sonic gristle and swollen sound jelly, producing the new righteous gibberish adjective of ‘suddering’. All things can now confidently sudder, and may god have mercy on us all.
G Lucas warps, mashes, unspools, hacks, grinds and morphs his archive of cassettes and manipulated field recordings into a tapestry of lovecraftian horror-audio, where ghosts speak in machine lan…
Insania
Philatélie is proud to announce the release of "Insania", the latest album by the acclaimed experimental trio Organ of Corti. Released on June 6, 2025, "Insania" delivers six new pieces that push the boundaries of tape music and analog synthesis, further cementing the group’s reputation for sonic innovation.
Each track is a testament to Organ of Corti’s unique approach, blending crumbling tape loops with spacious analog synth layers to create hypnotic, immersive soundscapes. The album is a journ…
Unusual Suggestions
Tip! *150 copies limited edition* L'eau des fleurs is happy to release this impressive homemade Gesamtskuntwerk by Finnish artist Jani Hirvonen. For these "Unusual suggestions", Jani, who did also this marvelous artwork, played himself all the instruments : percussions, kalimba, violin, radio, balalaïka, flute, kantele, electronic effects... These uncommon suggestions seemed endless. You can listen here and there some remains of avant-folk shapes but actually this LP is totally idiosyncratic in…
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.
Compressed Knowledge
Radio Species’ “Compressed Knowledge” offers elusive, collage-based soundscapes—stuttering loops, fragmented speech, and ambient noise—evoking speculative reconstruction and experimental archaeology.
Remscéla
Milkweed’s new album draws from ‘The Táin’ Irish epic, mixing “Slacker Trad” with global sounds. Critically acclaimed, their music merges Appalachian folk, hauntology, and experimentation.
Prey detection in web building spiders
*Dubbed on new ferro tapes* Second release from L. Linebacker. Needy guitar handling and eventually a talkative radio recorded directly to tape. Only rough edits and simple reamps done afterwards.
Compiled loops & experiments
*Dubbed on new ferro tapes* Tape loops, wind-up gramophone manipulations, and other audio fascinations. All of these sounds share the fact that they didn’t fit into any other release. Collected throughout 2024 and 2025, they were set aside on my harddrive. This is a documentation of scrap material, assembled in rough form.
L'ivresse transfigurée
Piano and electronics merge, transforming sound into ghostly landscapes through tape and distortion.
Melma_Mire n.1
*60 copies limited edition* Melma_Mire is Joe Rehmer’s solo project where he uses field recordings and samples recorded on, and manipulates through 1/8” magnetic tape via cassette tape loops. Performed with a 4 track tape recorder and various Walkmans, they are layered with live electric bass to create hypnotic drone music, strange atmospheric moods and complex, mysterious soundscapes.
Agrupación Transandina Aves sin Nido
*60 copies limited edition* Pablo Picco/Bardo Todol, this time with a different name, Agrupacion Transandina Aves sin Nido, the sounds are his typical tape recordings manipulated and remixed.
An Aesthetic - Experiments In Tape
Lunar Module are thrilled to announce the release of a new Hawksmoor album from Bristolian musician James McKeown, 'An Aesthetic' – Experiments In Tape. 'An Aesthetic' is a testament to McKeown's dedication to exploring the boundaries of sound. By layering the wow, flutter and warble of tape artifacts, he crafts a sonic landscape that echoes the ethereal hiss and mist drenched ‘rural psychedelia’ of Bristol's own Flying Saucer Attack, as well as the early hauntological, experimental landscapes o…
Hoshi
Hoshi is the 7th album by the worldly Kaakinmaa based sound producer Tomutonttu. This compositional endeavour began with foggy intuitions about freed people in swings, house plants in hanging baskets and people being brought up by wild monkeys. Tomutonttu has been dealing with questions perhaps romantic by nature. Maybe my songs are farming music after all? What does my computer think about my music? Did electricity smell different in the 1980s compared to now? Other smells that could be related…
Locus
300 copies. Following a creative burst in 2024 that resulted in several releases on iDEAL, New Forces and No Rent, label favorites Organ of Corti are returning to DMR for their first LP. Slowly moving into new territory, they deliver 6 bare boned surreal soundscapes. Minimal, repetitive tape loops, haunting synths and vaguely familiar vocal samples are carefully mixed for a sonic exercise reminiscent of those classic Nurse with Wound and Organum releases.
The Swedish trio of scene veterans Joach…
