acclaimed and Prix Ars Electronica Golden Nica awarded project

You & I Are Earth
'You & I are Earth' begins with the sound of a woman talking. She
recalls memories of being a young girl during the London Blitz fire
bombings of World War II. She speaks calmly at first, with memories of
the event slowly creeping up on her. These impressions soon become
illustrated through Vanessa Rossetto's own collage of mechanized cacophony.
Eventually, they develop into her signature Feldman-esque flowing-out of
strings.
The woman’s voice belongs to none other than Rossetto’s mother,…
Svensk sommar i stilla frid
**Edition of 300 Copies **The 7 compositions on 'Svensk Sommar I Stilla Frid' further explores the home-brewed, on-thin-ice ambient hinted at on a few recent Arv & Miljö recordings. Mainly inspired by Anna Själv Tredje and perhaps the lesser sides of Ralph Lundsten and such, this is the Gothenburgian outsider synth album no one certainly ever asked for. While at this time around being somewhat fully rooted in a proposed tradition of Swedish new age electronics, an ongoing heavy obsession with Ne…
Weapon Design
The very latest from Ramleh's Anthony Di Franco, whose long-running solo JFK project has been dedicated to the kind of concrete-mixed rhythmic pummel countless others would almost kill for since the cassette network culture of the 1980s. It's an immersive sound that, naturally, shares a little common ground with Ramleh yet emphasizes the monstrous chasms that can be drawn from a sturdy combo of bass-churn and galvanized beats. Whilst the labyrinthine textures beamed in from steelworks remain ver…
Pale Bloom

The first – a three-part sui…
Inscrutably Obvious
A lost electronic gem of UK post punk vintage resurfaces with Kevin Harrison’s 1981 debut ‘Inscrutably Obvious’
Schleissen 1
Emotional Response's 1st Schleißen volume pairs a grand expanse of ecstatic drone by Serbian former factory worker Abul Mogard, with the pulsating, hyaline patterns of Harmonious Thelonious. Mogard's 'Dizziness That Shakes Rivers And Mountains' unfurls 18 minutes of yearning synth drone conducted with a glacial patience and romantic intent that's hard to ignore, especially if you've ever fallen for the frayed, somnambulant projections of Leyland Kirby or William Basinski. By contrast, the two H…
L'Appendino 1849
100 copies only. Limited edition LP with individual trifold poster colour cover. Music assembled from original tape recordings dated 1979-1980. Sounds from several acoustic sources, magnetic tapes, environments. In Giancarlo Toniutti own words: "A jumble from within very old materials, tapes (1979-1980) comprising musical intentions, in their own way, read and reread, built and rebuilt, hung and hung back up. With no epenthesis. In a continuous stream of small precarious and chiseled magmas, sou…
Vlf
Alex Barnett (Champagne Mirrors, Oakeater, SCRAPES Recordings) and Faith Coloccia (Mamiffer, Mára) developed a friendship based on a fascination with the world just outside the limit of our understanding - the world where magic and mystery hold equal footing with science. On their third collaborative album VLF, the duo draft a soundtrack to the mapping of the unknown realms in both their private lives and the communal world around them. It’s a premise embedded in the album title, an acronym for …
KC
Berlin based trio Keller Crackers collective likes to shape haunting esoteric sounds, in which self-built instruments dance with ritualistic synthesised rhythms, field recordings, psychoacoustic drones and poetical spoken silhouettes.After a self-released MC and a mesmerising tune called “Anem” out in February 2019 on the custom-made Kashual Plastik 007 double-vinyl compilation, now they give birth to their own debut record “KC”, a four track EP resulting from various improvisational studio sess…

Everywhere At The End Of Time - Stage 3

The third of a six album cycle cataloguing The Caretaker's fictional first person account of life with early onset dementia, presenting some of the last coherent memories before confusion fully rolls in and the grey mists fade away.

This second stage takes a more wistful tack as our protagonist gradually realises that all is not well and begins to rummage deeper into the recesses of his mind, masking emotions of grief, loss, fear and uncertainty. As The Caretaker’s short term memory functions begin to more rapidly erode, the loop-based …
Everywhere At The End Of Time - Stage 1
2019 small repress. Everywhere At The End of Time is the first in a series of six albums by The Caretaker, aka James Leyland Kirby, slowly cataloguing the stages of early onset dementia. Each album will reveal new points of progression, loss and disintegration, progressively falling further and further towards the abyss of complete memory loss and nothingness. Viewing dementia as a series of stages can be a useful way to understand the illness, but it is important to realize that this only prov…
