* Limited Edition. Remastered, improved sound quality * There is no artist, working in the contemporary field of experimental sound, that is more important than the French composer Eliane Radigue.

Beyond Enclosures
On his captivating new solo album, is an Ireland-based, Australian-born Robert Curgenven - highly regarded for his majestic, coruscating pipe organ through to feedback, immersive resonances via turntables and custom-made vinyl, as well as carefully detailed field recordings, experimental turntable techniques inter-woven with piano and extended pipe organ techniques with an enveloping, often ecstatic and mystic effect recalling resonances and sound intended as a physical field of perception.The 3…
Viridescens
Francesco Cavaliere and Tomoko Sauvage embody a tactile audio visual display, radiating the color green into sounds and painting meditative music. By transforming collected objects into invented instruments and scenography, each motif becomes a dedication to a specific situation, an anecdote or a symbol, sometimes real and other times absurd, that the artists have encountered through their travels and conversations: the Chinese myth about a man wearing a green hat, naming convention of Japanese …

Mahalla Soundscape
Morning prayer. Children playing. Cooking dinner. Singing a lullaby. The quotidian sounds that form our everyday experiences are those recorded in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, while visiting Mahallas. Following "Siberian Field Recordings", his recent dazzling cassette release on Second Sleep, and his contribution to the "MMXX" series on Matière Mémoire Éditions, we are glad to offer copies of what is possibily Carlos Casas' most 'hidden' release. Released on occasion of his cross-discipl…
Siberian Field Recordings
Channeling a visionary approach to the specter of humanity through a singular sense of sonic artistry, Carlos Casas’ "Siberian Field Recordings" - issued as a beautiful cassette by Second Sleep - draws on the material of field recordings and captured short-wave / radio frequencies to blur the lines between ethnography and experimental sound, rending surprisingly imagistic, abstract narratives of elastic meaning over its hour-long length.
Mass Files
From the hands of the Swiss visual artist Veronika Spierenburg, comes "Mass Files", a truly stunning 5 LP box set of field recordings made in various corners of the globe during the last year, capturing the changing sonic landscapes in which we have lived. Political, prescient, and filled with hope and imagination, it's one of the most exciting offerings we've seen emerge from the complexities and challenges of this time, and about as historically important as releases come.
