Arrival
Double LP version. Black Vinyl. Their first two albums, Exit and Enter, were presented with sizable and ambitious line-ups of 28 musicians. Ritual saw it reduced to 21 and with Arrival it's been trimmed down to a "mere" 14, with the core trio of Fire! (Mats Gustafsson, Johan Berthling, and Andreas Werliin) and the two singers Mariam Wallentin and Sofia Jernberg being the only constant members since the beginning. Apart from this reduction, the main line-up difference is the introduction of a str…
Voice
The debut solo album from founding Spunk member and composer Maja Ratkje has secured her a place among the finest experimental singers.

Dietro Il Processo
“Dietro il Processo” is a set of TV investigation episodes directed by Franco Biancacci and broadcast in Italy by RAI from 1978 to 1980, as part of the “Storie allo Specchio” series. Ennio Morricone wrote the main theme for “Dietro il Processo” and scored the three episodes “L’urlo”, “L’ultima notte di Pier Paolo Pasolini” and “Il caso Montesi”. None of Morricone’s tracks were initially released and only in 2009 this soundtrack appeared on CD.
For “Dietro il Processo” Ennio Morricone wrote a dar…
Intensior Corda Sonus
*150 copies limited edition* In 2019, I was invited by Dylan Nyoukis and Karen Constance to play at the Colour out of Space festival in Brighton. A unique moment of incongruous music in a friendly international gathering of freaks of all kinds. Unforgettable. I played a solo on Revox B77 and then Dylan asked me to do a CD for his Chocolate Monk label. After some thought, I decided to offer three compositions rather than try to reproduce the past moment of an improvised concert. I'm talking here …
Les Granges Brûlées
Tip! Transversales proudly presents the first LP reissue of “Les granges brûlées”, original soundtrack written and performed by Jean-Michel Jarre shortly after his work experience at G.R.M (Groupe de Recherches Musicales). Probably one the first ever electronic music score, recorded with very scanty means: a VCS3 synthesizer, a Farsifa organ and three synchronized Revox tape recorders. Director Jean Chapot, who understood immediately the interest in the gap between this hyper classical rural thr…
Miao Mouthorgans & other rare instruments in Guizhou, Sichuan, China
Tip! The term Miao is a very ancient Chinese misleading pseudo-ethnic categorisation, what we call the Hmong in western languages, a term recognised by colonial French Indochina. Miao became a generic term which does not reveal the diversity of 38 subgroups or 9 million people, mostly in Southern China Guizhou Province.
China having moved towards the market economy, a large number of minority regions have marketed a commodity available only to them: their ethnicity itself. Ethnic tourism has dev…
Pale Bloom

The first – a three-part suite…
Travesías
Venezuelan composer Oksana Linde presents Travesías, her second album released by Buh Records, featuring pieces created between 1986 and 1994 in her private studio in San Antonio de Los Altos, Venezuela. These compositions belong to the same creative period as the works included in her acclaimed debut album, Aquatic and Other Worlds (Buh, 2022). The pieces “Mundos Flotantes,” “Horizontes Lejanos,” and “Arrecifes en el espacio” were expressly composed for the concert Travesía Acuastral, presented…
Pech Onderweg
There is no doubt that Misha Mengelberg was an excellent, even a great, jazz pianist. He was already close to that when he recorded with Eric Dolphy at the end of the latter’s career and he certainly was there by the mid ‘60s, when he was leading a quartet with alto saxophonist Piet Noordijk and drummer Han Bennink. But Mengelberg, like Bennink, was a musical maverick rarely content as a performer to play ‘just’ jazz and this is reflected on the solo record Pech Onderweg, recorded 40 years ago …
Apocalypse: Biorhythm – Fiction Series
Tip! Super Rare library recorded in 1980 by the powerful duo of percussionist Daniel Humair, one of the most avant-garde in the Swiss jazz evolution experiment, and the familiar and talented cellist Jean-Charles Capon (ex-Baroque Jazz Trio), who is associated with Jef Gilson and Henri Texier. A total of 15 songs that are a masterpiece in which the two performers' eye-opening acrobatics, including unexpected electric modulation, create an insanely hip groove at the edge of indigestion.This magica…
Sketches For World of Echo/Open Vocal Phrases Where Songs Come In and Out
“Some of it sounds so pure and clear and I am picturing him huddled around all that gear, simply magical. In my memory he didn’t play ‘for’ the audience but was rather trying to perfect these various permutations of sound within himself…and a few of us just happened to be present.” – Tom Lee
Open Vocal Phrases, Where Songs Come in And Out & Sketches For World of Echo offers two intimate unedited Arthur Russell solo live performances recorded at Phill Niblock’s Experimental Intermedia Foundation …
The Island of Bouncy Memories
Big Tip! Memories are, to say the least, complex. They can weigh us down like stones or be treasured in their unresolved ambivalence. In Ciro Vitiello’s debut album, they take on a dynamic and elusive nature, both bouncy and tricky, moving away when approached and dipping into the haze of the subconscious. Dreams, in turn, find their shape through memory itself. The Island Of Bouncy Memories is, for Vitiello, a place populated by reveries and hypnagogic impressions, interwoven with the imprints …
Non si sevizia un paperino
Transparent red vinyl format / 180 grams, limited edition numbered to 500 copies. The soundtrack for “Non si Sevizia un Paperino” (1972), composed by Riz Ortolani for Lucio Fulci’s giallo masterpiece, is a work of extraordinary intensity and contrast. Ortolani, a master at balancing melodic beauty with unsettling atmospheres, perfectly captures the essence of a film that blends mystery and violence with the innocence of a small Southern Italian village. The film, one of Lucio Fulci’s most acclai…
