Paintings
* 2020 Stock. Edition of 300. * Paintings, after Sketches (Magnetic Purely) and Drawings (Invisible City Recordings), represents the last work in a trilogy marking the re-emergence of Philipp Bückle as a musician. After burying the Teamforest project at the end of the noughties Philipp didn't much feel like creating music for some years, at least not on his own. Instead he concentrated on a more visual approach to expression. But in 2014, during a hot summer in Copenhagen, a birth and long wande…
Moving Music - Sounds From the Rocking Chair
* Edition of 200 * In December 2019 we had a crowdfunding campaign to support us into the year 2020. For this we asked several of our musicians if they could contribute to this campaign. From this the compilation Moving Music: Sounds From The Rocking Chair grew. In total 24 musicians submitted their creativity to make a total of 16 tracks. Aside from some exclusive solo tracks there are also 10 collaborations with unique combinations of musicians. To name a few: TVO & Jos Smolders, Radboud Mens …
Ridge Of Humming Spoils
* CD limited to 200 in A5 sleeve * Psychoanalysis refers to the frontier as an empty signifier: it embodies an interior and an exterior. The last album of the trilogy we set out to puts us there. On top of a vast set of remains whispering to us. Remains, because they have been left behind, because they are no longer useful. And yet, usefulness is something that tells little or nothing to us, artists. Quite the opposite. For this very reason, this new album is made up of these testimonies that wh…
Various Weights
In sound art, concepts often take precedence over the actual music. Here, there were none. For their first collaboration, Frans de Waard and Martijn Comes decided on a strikingly simple approach: Each artist compiled a pool of sounds for the other to use as a point of departure. Comes worked with various analog synth- and field recordings by de Waard (including, among others, a Korg MS20 and Koma Field FX). The latter was sent a processed stylophone recording, a sample loop as well as recordings…
Haarlemmerhout
One look at the sleeve of Haarlemmerhout, the new album by Dutch electronic musician Coen Oscar Polack, and you immediately know he is a romantic soul: blossoming trees in spring and blue skies with fluffy clouds. It’s urban escapism. It's the park in which you want to get away from other people, it’s the place you want to forget time. And that is also what he wants his music to sound like.
Coen Oscar Polack made a name for himself on the Dutch Narrominded label. With The Skipping Monk (2009) he…
Vlakverdeling
* Edition of 200 * Cinema Perdu returns with his third album for Moving Furniture Records Vlakverdeling. He further explores the human impact on the landscape, as he did on previous albums Interventions in a landscape and Amsterdam CS.
"During my regular trips to the Dutch province of Friesland I became more and more aware of the strict demarcations in the Dutch landscape. Each time I travelled up and down the polder, the atmosphere of the landscape changed. These changes of atmosphere where not…
En De Stilstaande Tijd
* Edition of 300. Pressed on clear translucent vinyl in spot-varnish artwork * With 'En de stilstaande tijd' (roughly translated: 'And the frozen time' / 'And the stillness of time') Orphax (Sietse van Erve) returns with a new work that further explores the themes of time and perception of the listener. The new album follows in line with Orphax works like 'Time Waves', '2.20' and 'Live Circles', with added emotional depth. In this sense 'En de stilstaande tijd' is a continuation of 'Piano Music'…
The Age Of Space
* Edition of 200 * Joel Gilardini is an experimental guitarist and sound designer, based in Zurich (Switzerland). His solo ambient oriented works are often based on the use of live‐looping and instant composition techniques. It’s a very unique biosphere of ambient, drone, dub, doom elements and morphing soundscapes. Joel Gilardini opens at Montags for Nik Bärtsch’s Ronin/Mobile on regular basis at Exil club (Zurich/CH), and has taken part to Y2K International Live-Looping festivals in Zurich, Pa…
Returning Two
Tape Loop Orchestra’s ambient concrète aesthetic coalesces clammy choral swells and bombed-out, buried percussion in the second of a new two-part project following 2019’s ‘Interiors’ series. The second part of TLO’s current cycle comes down from the windswept heights of Vol.1 to settle in a more valleyed state of contemplation. Operating around 20bpm, the music on ‘Returning Two’ evokes his ideas on consolidating mind and body from a lower altitude and perspective where the choral winds die dow…
Between No Things
MFM048 sees the release of a special collaboration between two unique voices within the ambient landscape, Suso Sáiz & Suzanne Kraft, with their collective debut album ‘Between No Things’. Whilst having first connected at a Gaussian Curve release show in Amsterdam back in 2017, in which both musicians also performed, the two really got to know each other during a three day recording session that followed immediately after; “We would have good chats and laugh setting up and in between long takes …
Sign
‘Sign’ is Autechre’s first new album-album proper since ‘Elseq’ and contains some of their most emosh compositions in eons, perhaps since ‘Tri Repetae’. Practically pocket-sized in comparison to their sprawling torrent of live material and radio recordings in recent years, ’Sign’ is a return to the sort of concision found circa ‘Exai’ and their earlier albums. Effectively they’ve gotten better to grips with their live set-up, and the hyper ideas found in their work-in-progress demonstrations on …
The Plaintive
Suction present a new vinyl release of “The Plaintive”, the first new album since 2014 by the somewhat underrated electronic project of Mark Van Hoen, Locust.
"When Suction was formed in 1997, we were deeply enthralled with the UK “listening” electronic scene, otherwise known as electronica or IDM, but besides the obvious icons - Aphex Twin, Autechre, and other luminaries of labels like Rephlex, Warp, and Skam Records - one of our heroes was the lesser known Locust, whose productions were murki…
Les Réalités Alternatives
**213 copies** In graceful and synthetic invitation, Mona Servo weaves subtle and liquid tapetries for us, washing our certainties away and enveloping us in alternate realities as beautiful as they are essential.
On Amorphous Dawn
New England's Lee Tindall has been a mainstay of the noise/electronic scene for some time. Working as Zerfallt and Belarisk, and in a variety of groups (including Astronaut with Daniel Lopatin), Tindall has been perfecting what he calls "Hy-Fy mutant music" for a decade, working on the fringes of a sound that has slipped in-and-out of focus. As Belarisk, Tindall taps into the more melodic side of experimental electronic music, applying his expert-level technical skills to digital and analog syn…
Disintegrating Landscape
Disintegration Landscape is a brand new limited cassette release from Panabrite following his 2014 album Pavilion (Immune 033). In late 2014 Panabrite’s Norm Chambers began stitching together recently collected bits of sounds and field recordings to create a sort of epic travelogue of ideas and movement, where things end up in stark contrast to how they begin. Initially Disintegrating Landscape was one continuous 47-minute piece, but has now been edited for cassette; each side a stand-alone pie…
Lydglimt
An otherworldly blend of ethereal ambient, new age with inherent discofied undertones - reissued! Pressed at Pallas in a 500 copy run only & comes with a beautiful booklet ! Frederiksberg Records is proud to announce 40th anniversary LP reissue of Lydglimt, done in close collaboration with Klaus Schønning. At odds with the loud musical landscape of jazz, rock and punk which dominated the Denmark at this time in the late 70's, Schønning saw before him a different path. A path leading to the…
Shouting at the Ground
**300 copies** The quintessential ZF. "'Shouting at the Ground' showed a dramatic improvement in sound quality and production from their earlier albums - all of which, by the way, are excellent in their own right. What we have here are an arsenal of hand made instruments, mostly stringed and percussive in nature, that are squashed through various delay and echo filter machines, creating an otherworldly, timeless and overwhelming creepy atmosphere. Outside this website Zoviet France are classed…
The End of Nothing, the Beginning of Everything
**300 copies** Never released before 1990 album. More information is coming soon.
Just an Illusion
**300 copies** Just An Illusion represents a continuation of the Zoviet France electronic style of the late 80s early 90s. Together, Acend A Fall and Caught In The Square comprise a hypnotic masterpiece. A combination of industrial grinding, modified guitar and electronics. Other tracks apply synthesizers and tape loops with far more sophistication and impact than on the earlier albums. With longer mood pieces and shorter works that highlight the Middle Eastern and Asian influences which have o…
Russian Heterodoxical Songs
**300 copies** Never released before 1988 album. More information is coming soon.
