Often dark, sometimes repetitive or experimental, sometimes rhythmical and exotic, always based on emotion inducted by the Sound. One could define it as dark age music (as opposite to new age music), a sort of minimal come back to the roots and purity of acoustic sound without the cultural background linked to the 'academic' use of some instruments (for example African senzas are transformed and tuned to sound like Indonesian instruments, sitar or harmonium are used as rhythmical instruments, va…

On Mount Analogue, Bill Laswell and P.ST assemble an international cast to translate René Daumal’s unfinished mountain allegory into a two‑records sonic ascent: a six‑part electro‑acoustic “novel” and a mirrored peak of solo guitar visions from Henry Kaiser, refracted through Jodorowsky’s The Holy Mountain.

Edition of 100, signed and numbered. In the last 10 years Akira Matsuoka (aka Veltz) has established himself as a key figure in the next generation of Tokyo noise artists. His work covers a wide range: metal junk noise, erased tapes, field recording and audio dedications to analogue television. Analogue broadcasting in Japan was switched of in 2011, an event recorded by Matsuoka and presented at the end of this album. The collection of broken televisions he has since amassed have become his prim…

* Special embossed, die-cut sleeve with 56-page booklet - 200 copies on black vinyl * Aude Van Wyller (aka Oï les Ox, aka AI les Axes) joins forces with acclaimed poet Lucy Van, author of The Open (2021) and Australian Women's Historical Photography (2024). This debut collaboration weaves together Van Wyller's ambient mutations with Van's incisive, luminous words. In Material, words reach for the image, sounds reach for the word, and one thing becomes another. The result is an intimate, tactile …

‘Anima Latina', Lucio Battisti's ninth studio album. It is considered one of the most beautiful and important records in the history of Italian music. The album was conceived after a trip to Latin America and marks a clear break from previous production.

Umanamente Uomo: il Sogno by Lucio Battisti reinvents Italian pop with a poetic blend of nostalgia, emotional candor, and stylistic exploration. Mogol's lyrics navigate the complexities of memory, longing, and everyday struggles, set against Battisti's evolving sound, which balances melodic intimacy with touches of folk, progressive, and pop arrangements. These eight tracks, including enduring classics, reveal an artist at the peak of his expressive powers, fusing personal narrative with broader…

The soundtrack for “Last Tango in Paris” (1972), composed by Argentine saxophonist Gato Barbieri, is one of the most iconic works in cinematic history, perfectly capturing the emotions and themes of this controversial masterpiece by Bernardo Bertolucci. The film, brilliantly acted by Marlon Brando and Maria Schneider, delves into desire, pain, and loneliness through an intensely physical and clandestine relationship between two strangers in Paris. Barbieri's music is a blend of sensuality, melan…

*Back in stock* For the first time ever, this book Wolfgang Voigt – Gas presents the visual aspect of the comprehensive gas project. it is not meant to be a monolithic retrospective of his visual work, but it features a broad spectrum of photographic images taken between 1995 and 1998 showing many different moods and perspectives of Wolfgang Voigt’s Cosmos. what they all have in common, however, is the mystical focus and seemingly, the blurring of boundaries between lightness and darkness, happi…

Ostranenie is a collection of digitally manipulated, impressionistic piano miniatures — each named after blockbuster films and TV series. Improvised late at night as a reaction against passive media consumption, these pieces function as both homage and critique, navigating the space between classical impressionism and contemporary digital manipulation. They don’t just deconstruct traditional piano expression; they interrogate the emotional stakes of sound in an era where immersion culture flatte…

Black Truffle is pleased to announce the release of the results of this extensive session in the audacious form of a triple LP, housing over two hours of music across its six sides. The 2015 edition of Winnipeg’s send + receive festival, focussed on rhythm, turned out to be a generative meeting of minds. There, Mark Fell encountered the music of Will Guthrie, a meeting that was eventually to result in the frenetic acoustic drumkit and digital synthesis pairing heard on Infoldings and Diffraction…

The Vestige is the first fruit of a new intergenerational collaboration between Giuseppe Ielasi, a quietly prolific key contributor to the European experimental music scene for over twenty years, and Jack Sheen, a young composer-conductor-sound artist from Manchester whose recent projects have seen him moving seamlessly from enigmatic chamber music composition and installations to conducting the London Symphony Orchestra. Their materials and working methods differ significantly, with Ielasi havi…

Black Truffle is thrilled to announce Spilla, the second album from Nantes-based Ensemble Nist-Nah, 48 minutes of music for Gamelan, drum kits, wood and metal percussion instruments, and plucked strings that will surely count as one of the most electrifying records you hear this year. Founded by the Australian drummer/percussionist Will Guthrie in 2019, continuing the explorations begun in solo form on Nist-Nah (Black Truffle, 2020), the ensemble (eight or nine core members with occasional guest…

Following on from the Bergisch-Brandenburgisches Quartett’s anarchic Live ’82 (BT095), Black Truffle continues its deep dive into the archives of legendary drummer/accordionist/photographer/composer/conceptual prankster Sven-Åke Johansson with Scheisse ’71. Recorded in November 1971 during the Berliner Jazztage at a heavy-hitting concert that also included the Spontaneous Music Ensemble and groups led by Peter Brötzmann, Manfred Schoof, and Masahiko Sato, Scheisse ’71 is the only document of a w…

Round Sky brings together Léo Dupleix and Asterales in an exploration of just intonation and radiant calm. The album’s three compositions subtly merge analogue synthesizer, harpsichord, spinet, bass, flute, and guitar in landscapes of nuanced minimalism. Methodical in structure yet alive to spontaneous beauty, the record unfolds as a quietly luminous meditation on the complexities of harmony and texture.

*Please note that this book is available in Italian language only.* "The authors are one of the founders of Franti, the other since the early 1980s a fanzinista and then a reporter for A/Rivista Anarchica from the trenches of punk and self-production. Our names are Stefano Giaccone and Marco Pandin. Each of us, in his or her own way, dreamed of a revolution in the 1970s and 1980s: sure, we were young and these were things that were nice to do and needed to be done. Almost thirty years ago we col…

"As you may know if you move in certain circles, Crass was a collective of English punks active between the late 1970s and 1984. Some of them had long been involved in certain creative fringes of the hippie movement in the previous decade. Anarchists and pacifists, they didn't have an easy life: from the very beginning, they had to fight hard to avoid being silenced. In 1985, they were labeled "an association operating on the fringes of the law" and convicted in court for producing "material con…

*100 copies limited edition* Six touching tracks that, starting from quiet ambient atmospheres, initially soft, tenuous, and crepuscular, gradually seem to soar... ascending towards celestial spaces, revealing ever-wider and brighter landscapes below, ever-more distant horizons, ever-more infinite spaces... Highly evocative progressions, guided by sober and delicate melodies and driving, pulsating bass lines, wonderfully deep (best enjoyed with a good stereo system to truly appreciate them), the…

Live recording at the Rotonda del Pellegrini, Milan, January 21st, 1959 featuring John Cage, Morton Feldman, Juan Hidalgo, Leopoldo La Rosa, and Walter Marchetti. Among all the events involving John Cage during the long stay in Europe that followed his controversial appearance at Darmstadt Ferienkurse in September 1958, the concert he held in Milan on January 21st perhaps represents a less well known episode. Featuring Cage's intervention both as composer and performer of one's own work as well …

** 100 copies ** Alga Marghen proudly present the new 4CD edition of the complete cycle titled Vogelsang / Vogelsong / Vogelsung / Vögelsäng from 1977, available now with new artwork and issued in an edition limited to 100 numbered copies. If the idea of recording birds could have come from his friend Hans Krusi (this was a common practice for Art-Brut master Krusi who layered into primitive multi-track sonic sculptures the recordings of the many birds sharing his living space), Anton Bruhin is …

2005 release ** Released in 1979 in a limited edition on his own d'Avantage label, Catalogue, with its overt theatricality is every bit as wild as the previous Paralleles. Not really jazz, not rock, having nothing to do with contemporary music either, Catalogue is a kind of sonic postcard which features not the group of the same name but instead numerous Jacques Berrocal associates including Potage (co-founder of the d'Avantage label in 1976), Parle, Ferlet, Pauvros and recording engineer Daniel…

This is the 3rd record of Ambienti Coassiali on ADN, this time officially shared with Riccardo Sinigaglia. Riccardo was already active on all tracks of "Spare Rooms" but here he is mentioned in the main titles. Side A consists of two long tracks and starts with "Guitambient 1" where a subtle treated guitar slowly crawls accompanied by small percussions, flutes and noises. Ten minutes wrapped in a calm climate evocating an ethnic eastern feeling. "Guitambient 2" proposes an intense interchange be…

Thomas Barrière developed this album during the last ten years. Much has happened during the decade between "Primaire", his first solo album released in 2014 on Thödol and "Alkebulan". During this period, he travelled across the world several times with Trottola Circus, he formed the band Algecow with his cohort Bastien Pelenc, he composed a bunch of film soundtracks, and he became a father. And the world changed as well of course!! Thomas goes back to all forms of music that impressed him throu…

*300 copies limited edition* "Dis qu’t’as tort" is the latest venture from Tagubu (Denis Tagu, formerly of Hellebore, Look De Bouk, and Toupidek Limonade), realised in collaboration with Klimperei (Christophe Petchanatz, known for his work with Pierre Bastien, David Fenech, and Palo Alto, among others). The album represents a creative response to the increasing prevalence of autocracies and dictatorships across the globe, reflecting a world that is not simply changing, but rather derailing. The …

Philip Corner's Battutosso / Bone Pulse (And Other Nature Musics) features recordings from 1989-97 of the US composer experimenting with bones, "the 100 most beautiful cows' bells", "breath, flute, and rubbing rock", and "Geoff Hendricks' xylophone sculpture". Compelling stuff, as always with Corner's work. Mastered by Silvia Kastel (Control Unit etc) and released on the Italy-based Ricerca Sonora imprint in an edition of 300 copies

*300 copies limited edition* Dominique Grimaud, a historical figure in French musical avant-garde, is known as a founding member of Camizole and Video Aventures, two groups that profoundly shaped the underground scene of the 1970s in France. Camizole, formed in 1970 in the wake of the May ’68 protests, stood out for its improvised performances and happenings, inspired by the Living Theatre and characterized by radical expressive freedom and a rejection of commercial musical conventions. The grou…

2007 release. François Dufrêne (1930-1982) is one of the leading artists from the post-War European and French art scene. He played a key role in many of the initiatives of Lettrism, Nouveau Réalisme and sound poetry. In François Dufrêne's oeuvre, art and poetry intersect in a reciprocal experimentation of the possibilities of transgression of their specific grammars. His oeuvre constitutes a singular example of this special relationship between art and language, which throughout the 20th centur…

Spectral Arrows: Sidney presents Marco Fusinato’s durational guitar and electronics performance, channeling the intensity of Sunn O))) and the conceptual rigor of Alvin Lucier.

In Minimalist Music, critic George Jr. Grella treats minimalism less as a style than as a set of techniques, tracing how process, repetition and reduction have migrated across genres to become one of contemporary music’s most adaptable practices.

In 1970s Jazz Fusion, critic Matthew Reed Baker reassesses a once‑derided hybrid, showing how the electric experiments of Davis, Hancock, Corea, Mahavishnu and others reshaped jazz, rock, soul and hip‑hop from the 1970s to today.

In Neu Klang, journalist Christoph Dallach assembles an oral history of krautrock, letting Can, Neu!, Kraftwerk and their peers explain how post‑war Germany’s experiments in noise, rhythm and repetition became a blueprint for modern rock and beyond.

"Whether it's by improvisation in the African-American jazz tradition, or by a village kobza player standing on top of a damn hill - he feels connected to the stars."

Holidays Records is on fire! Hot on the heels of their recent incredible vinyl releases of the Italian sound artist and musician Ezio Piermattei’s “Gran trotto” and the duo Acchiappashpirt’s “Ninulla”, they return with one of their most important and captivating releases to date: Hartmut Geerken’s “Requiem for the Snake of Maidan”, a mind-blowing body of archival recordings from the 1970s, made on a stony ridge in the Hindukush mountains of Afghanistan, encountering the artist locked in a sprawl…

50th Anniversary edition of the legendary album ‘Rubycon’ by Tangerine Dream. Widely regarded as one of their finest albums, ‘Rubycon’ was the band’s second album for Virgin Records and comprised two long pieces which pioneered the use of sequencers and synthesiser technology and produced some of the finest ambient music ever recorded. The record was also their highest UK charting release, reaching number 10 on the UK charts. This new edition features the remastered original stereo mix, along wi…

Stunning collection of quiet and soft piano pieces by the legendary German keyboardist Hans-Joachim Roedelius co-founder of seminal krautrock bands as Cluster and Harmonia. Inspired by the monumental work of Eric Satie, the album was originally released in 1991. Roedelius exhibits an unexpected subtlety on the keys which lighten these pieces lovingly and pointedly. It’s hardly surprising that the name of the album is a reference to the term ‘pianissimo’, which means to play softly. These are aft…

Effortlessly fusing krautrock with jazz and ethnic music, Embryo were unparalleled in the world of progressive fusion and 1984's Zack Glück is one of their most ambitious and rewarding LPs. Flutes and saxophones mix with oud, marimba and violin to make an intoxication concoction.

Africa, originally released in 1992 on Materiali Sonori, may be a late entry in the Embryo catalog but it is one of their most ambitious and truly progressive albums to date. As the name implies, the Munich group not only draws influence from the continent to their south, but also employs an African percussion ensemble on many tracks.

Match made in heaven collaborative hit single from New Zealand-based artists Claire Mahoney (Thistle Group) and Benedict Quilter (P Wits). Recorded and mixed by Stefan Neville, mastered for vinyl by Lasse Marhaug. 45rpm, edition of 200 copies.

Come un vecchio incensiere all’alba di un villaggio deserto is Alan Sorrenti’s second album, released in 1973 by Harvest Records. This album marks an evolution in his musical exploration, continuing the experimentation begun with his previous album "Aria" and solidifying his position in the Italian progressive rock scene. The centerpiece of the album is the lengthy suite that gives the record its title, a track lasting over twenty minutes that explores psychedelic, jazz, and folk sounds. The com…
