Vents d’aether
»vents d’aether« is the first collaborative album by sound artist Jérôme Bouve and composer-performer Delphine Dora for Hallow Ground. The six pieces are based on live improvisations on organ and harmonium. They were recorded in different churches on the Cotentin peninsula in France’s Normandy region and later enriched with additional field recordings by SA~RA. This adds an extra layer to compositions which were created both in and out of the moment and which quite literally resonate with the hi…
Fathom Tides
The collaborative project of Lawrence English and Werner Dafeldecker has consistently been concerned with processes of transformation. This is all the more true for »Fathom Tides,« the duo’s second album for Hallow Ground following up on »Tropic of Capricorn« from 2023. Using field recordings collected from diverse coastal environments made by English and later treated extensively by Dafeldecker, the two sound artists explore cyclical changes in nature across these seven pieces. Through its abst…
Manifestations In The Shadow Of An Uncertain Land
Manifestations in the Shadow of an Uncertain Land unfolds through aleatoric composition and intuitive process, shaped by deeply entangled political and aesthetic lineages. Rooted in lived experiences of bodies and minds navigating the localized and global weight of imperialism, the work also draws from the temporal logic of film and literature, where memory, dread, and anticipation coexist. Working with voice and modular electronics, Lowe treats sound as a sculptural and cinematic force, informe…

Phew
Why did so many of the world’s most forward-thinking musicians gravitate toward Conny Plank’s studio at that time? Released in 1981, Phew was recorded at the legendary Conny’s Studio—home to seminal works by Kraftwerk, Neu!, D.A.F., and Brian Eno—featuring Phew, formerly of Aunt Sally.
The album brings together Can members Holger Czukay and Jaki Liebezeit, whose contributions, combined with Plank’s masterful engineering and Czukay’s innovative editing techniques, result in a strikingly original …
For The Space You Left
This solo prepared piano record grew out of periods of isolation and solitude, shaped by two very different emotional landscapes. The music began in 2017 during a residency at MacDowell, where I applied with the intention of experimenting with piano preparation and confronting a long standing fear: playing solo piano. I had always been uncomfortable exposing myself alone at the instrument, and creating a solo project felt like the most direct way to face that fear — and grow through it. At the t…

Unfamiliar Music (Paris)
Sparkling or Silent finds crys cole and Oren Ambarchi pausing their restless, always‑on‑the-move discographies at a curious angle, as if turning the light slightly to see what has been glinting at the edges all along. Both artists have long carried an electroacoustic sensibility in their work - in cole’s hyper‑attentive treatment of small sounds and negative space, in Ambarchi’s use of guitar and electronics as malleable matter rather than fixed instruments - but here that sensibility becomes th…
The Alternative Counter Organization
Taco weaponise the very idea of “tako” - octopus, kite, bunion, drunk, bald head - into a mutating post‑punk organism, a rotating guerrilla cell whose songs behave like incidents rather than compositions.
