Murasaki
A powerful intergenerational trio emerges on Murasaki, featuring Wadada Leo Smith on trumpet, Marcus Gilmore on drums, and Jakob Bro on guitar. Recorded at Power Station (formerly Avatar Studios) in New York, this exploratory session unfolded spontaneously—no retakes, no discussions, just a shared musical language rooted in intuition and trust. “It felt as though this music already existed before we started playing,” Bro reflects.

Reality Is Not a Theory
Reality Is Not a Theory by Mark Fell and Pat Thomas is a vivid collaboration exploring the friction between theorized structure and lived musical experience. By fusing Fell’s technologically limited triggers for creativity with Thomas’s exploratory improvisation, the album reimagines not only electronic and jazz vocabularies but also notions of time and agency, rendering a shifting landscape where each moment is both calculated and unexpected.
Resurrezione E Metamorfosi
2026 stock The year after "de lusioni," the evolution continued with Arpia’s second demo "Resurrezione e Metamorfosi", a suite of more than 40 minutes, in which the lyrical element is stronger and the musical research more articulated. The hermetic and dreamlike text develops a continuous becoming, strengthened by the close relationship with the musical structures. “Resurrezione e Metamorfosi” represents, in the development and evolution of Arpia's musical path, a real distinction in the process…
A Fleeting Glance
2026 stock One of the most astonishing British private pressing rarities. The music runs the gamut from heavy space-rock jamming (including a snatch of ‘Interstellar Overdrive’) to folk/rock (an acoustic cover of ‘Light My Fire’ and a stunning version of ‘Watch The Stars’), avant-garde choirs krautrock-styled interludes and even trad jazz. The result is among the trippiest albums I have ever heard. Comparable only to Jumble Lane in terms of eccentricity
Blasco / Vítková / Anette
On this album Lucie Vítková and Merche Blasco explore cyborgness through their relationships with their instruments. Lucie perceives the accordion as an extension of their body - sound, matter, and movement locked in a self-generating cybernetic loop. Merche built Anette, a 3D printer, as her interlocutor and companion in the performance space; in return, Anette printed thimble-microphones Merche wears on her fingers, which render the machine's unique electromagnetic voice audible to human ears.…
In From The Cold

Primati
2026 stock Hailing from the raw energy of Italy's underground scene, Frend unleash Primati, a primal roar of distorted guitars, pounding rhythms, and lyrics that claw at the soul. This debut LP channels the ferocity of ancient apes with modern edge—think explosive riffs echoing evolutionary chaos, from the brooding opener "Scimmia Urbana" to the frenzied closer "Dominio Perduto." Blending post-punk grit with shoegaze haze and a dash of no-wave frenzy, Primati is a savage evolution: 10 tracks of …

Microphonies 21
Microphonies 21 by Marc Billon is a long-form electroacoustic exploration centered on the resonances of a tam-gong. Blurring the line between acoustic gesture and electronic transformation, the work unfolds as a slow, tactile meditation on vibration, decay, and the physical act of listening itself.
Mutudi Ua Ufolo/Viuva Da Liberdade
"Mutudi Ua Ufolo/Viuva Da Liberdade" is one of the most important records ever made in Angola.

Sung in Portuguese and local dialects, the songs balance rhythmic elegance with deep political weight, tracing ties to Afro-Brazilian and Latin American musical traditions.
After Zé’s assassination in 1977, the …

Fuzz_Galopp
During the work for Voice Crack duo Norbert Möslang was one of the pioneers in the field of sound installation techniques usage in live improvised music. His instruments are cracked everyday-electronics, but sounds themselves are delivered from the mechanical properties of these devices. This kind of approach seems to be similar to Peter Fischli and David Weiss practices in the visual arts’ fields. The comparison of the film documentaries - "The Way Things Go" (1987) about Fischli/Weiss activiti…
