Sound An Acoulogical Treatise (Book)
*2023 stock* First published in French in 1998, revised in 2010, and appearing here in English for the first time, Michel Chion's Sound addresses the philosophical, interpretive, and practical questions that inform our encounters with sound. Chion considers how cultural institutions privilege some sounds above others and how spurious distinctions between noise and sound guide the ways we hear and value certain sounds. He critiques the tenacious tendency to understand sounds in relation to their …

Faraway From Light
*2025 stock. 190 copies limited edition* "Faraway From Light" is a tripartite CD in a short intro, an equally short outro and a long central composition. Much of the sound sources used in these tracks were recorded in the towers of Teufelsberg in Berlin, a NASA center located in the west of the city, abandoned by British and American intelligence after the fall of the Wall. Teufelsberg, literally "mountain of the devil", stands on an artificial hill, obtained from the sedimentation of the remain…
Live Radio Blackout 1999 (105.250 FM - Torino)
*2025 stock. 60 copies limited edition* In the late 90s i was djing at radio blackout with Fabio Battistetti.

I decided to have a different approach to sound by manipulating samples and frequencies created with the pc. the result are these eleven tracks of which only few have been released in the past. three of them can be found on t…

Early To Late
Early to Late presents an inspired commission for Magnus Granberg and Jürg Frey, inviting each to compose for Ensemble Grizzana using the same brief: build a new work from Renaissance fragments. Granberg’s “How Vain Are All Our Frail Delights?” draws on William Byrd’s choral music, transforming melodic kernels into shimmering, spectral textures. Ensemble voices - celesta, glass harp, dulcimer, violin, winds - float through cycles of open-form improvisation and carefully weighted silence. The res…
Dethick
In Dethick, three singular voices - Angharad Davies (violin), Rie Nakajima (sound objects), and Alice Purton (cello) - trace the edges of collective improvisation and material inquiry. The project began from a shared fascination with resonance: how certain preparations and actions could invigorate stringed instruments and inanimate objects alike, blurring the distinction between music, sound art, and noise. Each musician brings a distinct lexicon - Davies known for extracting spectral sonorities…
Femenine (Apartment House)
Femenine, composed by Julius Eastman in 1974, stands as a landmark for American experimentalism - bringing minimalist structure together with exuberant, open-form collaboration. In their intensely engaged rendering, Apartment House conjures music that listens as much as it declares. Simon Limbrick’s insistent vibraphone motif and a persistent field of sleigh bells anchor the performance, as piano, strings, winds, and keyboard join, layering intricate phrases, timbral color, and nuance. The music…
The Boundaries of Intimacy
British composer Frank Denyer presents seven beautiful chamber works dating from 1974 to 2018, opening a door to his unique soundworld. Released by Another Timbre in November 2019, The Boundaries of Intimacy features sublime, unexpected pieces of delicate intimacy performed by a variety of artists including Luna String Quartet, Juliet Fraser, Elisabeth Smalt, Jos Zwaanenberg and Nobutaka Yoshizawa.
"Most of the music on this CD is soft, some of it very soft indeed. To achieve the optimal listeni…
Unfurling
Unfurling introduces a trio where established voices in contemporary experimental music - Angharad Davies, Klaus Lang, and Anton Lukoszevieze - are brought together in an environment shaped as much by deep listening as by compositional foresight. Born out of a residency and recorded during the intense yet open space of a single studio session, the album becomes a portrait of creative trust and shared focus. Throughout the 52-minute performance, each musician both asserts and dissolves their indi…
Hlaholika
With Hlaholika, Adrian Democ offers a collection of chamber pieces unified by a focus on stillness and the unhurried unfolding of sound. Rather than chasing after overt drama, Democ’s writing reveals itself through the subtle layering of sonorities and stark, melodic lines, letting each instrument’s character shine. Apartment House brings sensitivity and patience to these recordings, allowing the music’s quiet radiance to emerge organically, rather than by force.
The album opens with “Ma fin est…
Parallel Words
With Parallel Words, Eventless Plot compose as a true collective, crafting an album that drifts at the intersection of chamber music, electroacoustic experimentation, and subtle jazz inflections. The trio - Vasilis Liolios, Aris Giatas, and Yiannis Tsirikoglou - devise sound worlds marked by contradiction and hybridity. Across the album’s three substantial tracks, instrumental timbres and electronics run alongside each other, oscillating between a sense of tranquil detachment and mounting intens…
Adjacent Sound
Adjacent Sound positions Gabriel Paiuk as a composer attuned to the phenomena of perception, proximity, and the thresholds where listening itself becomes the subject. Rather than presenting a collection of isolated pieces, the album unfolds as a unified exploration into how sound delineates and dissolves boundaries - between performers, between recorded and live presence, between the material and the ephemeral. Every aspect of the release is shaped by a careful questioning of what it means to li…
The Pankow-Park Sessions
The Pankow-Park Sessions Vol.1 is a striking documentation of collaboration between Ernstalbrecht Stiebler and Tilman Kanitz, offering a series of works that blur distinctions between composition and improvisation in an acoustic setting. These recorded sessions capture the artists’ shared sensitivity to resonance, duration, and the momentary emergence of musical events. Rather than foregrounding virtuosic display or dense structuring, the album cultivates a sense of spaciousness where tones, sil…
Curva Triangulus
Catherine Lamb works at the boundary between perception and illusion. In Curva Triangulus (2018/21), the American composer takes Bridget Riley's geometric forms as starting point for "warping" Renaissance materials through geometric musical figures. The result is a 41-minute composition for eight instruments where the distinction between melody and harmony dissolves: one generates the other, rather than existing as separate entities.
The score demands an exceptional ensemble. Bern's Ensemble Pro…
