Zeeschuim
*100 copies limited edition* Zeeschuim is a continuation of Zeemijl, a long-form piece from 2020. Through their density and movement, these two works become sonic sculptures of the North Sea and the Irish Sea. Consciously or not, life on an island is about crossing water. Crossing the river in a city or the country; crossing the sea to leave the state. When water surrounds you, it defines your existence.zeeschuim considers what happens under the surface of these waters, and the chaos both above …
Abel/Kane
*200 copies limited edition* After having painted her own mythology out of antique myths and literature, Golem Mecanique began to work on biblical features. The vehicle is minimalist. The challenge, to go further with the instrument and the voice. For this album, Golem’s work focused in on a sound that enabled the abstract concept of Abel and Cain to become concrete, yet still built out of nothingness. Abel/Kane was composed as two acts of a march into a never-ending valley. Drone, voices, echoe…

Borrowed Photograph
Distorted flows of emotional vistas, frozen and stretched in time. Oceans of song folding in on themselves, breaking like bitcrushed foam underneath the waves. A distilled stream of states.
The Seismograph
*100 copies limited edition* "A large mound of igneous rock beneath the earth’s surface, sometimes attaining the size of a mountain. The vent associated with a volcano which no longer ejects molten lava or ashes, but continues to give off steam and gases. A hole in the earth’s crust from which steam and gases, such as carbon dioxide, are emitted under pressure. A large basin-shaped crater bounded by steep cliffs, usually formed by the subsidence of the top of a volcanic mountain, and sometimes o…

Red Hair Girl At Lighthouse Beach
Tip! *2024 much needed repress* Making music is trying to start over again every time. It’s a matter of questioning and approaching. It’s never settling for the sound that fills the world around. It’s looking for a door in the sky. And maybe find it, open it, go beyond it. Rod Modell and Gigi Masin, this time together, are offering each other vibrations and insights. The former lives between two lakes, the latter between the Venetian lagoon and the sea. Everyone on their own shore, building elec…
Landschaften

A pseudo-pattern tha…
Crumbling A Flower
*40 copies limited edition* "A moment spent with you watching your dress torn in two. Bits of my heart fall into the spring and die with the flowers that only bloom once a year".
Tantalus
*30 copies limited edition* Tantalus by Nathan Moody is an otherworldly journey of dark majesty and tragedy, told through an utterly unique sound palette: SOMA Lyra-8 synthesizer, transducers that vibrate cymbals, singing bowl, kemenche fiddle, violin, electric cello, Appalachian dulcimer, and wind instruments made of PVC pipe. Rhythms are revealed between the beating and modulation of oscillators, polyrhythmic extended techniques, and the scrappy repeats of noisy delay lines. Traditional wester…

Mountains Of Night

NEY
*175 copies limited edition* NEY, a self-titled debut, is an unbridled exploration of a band’s beginning, a tapestry of intimate field recordings, deconstructed fragments and spontaneous encounters, pieced together in two long-form recordings.

In dealing with the loss of a loved…
Worlding With Earth
The post-Anthropocene planet isn’t going to be one without humans. It’s going to be a planet where the interdependencies of nature and man are realigned, the lines between the organic and synthetic blur, and we ultimately become something more-than-human. The rich, mulchy sonic environments of Slowfoam’s Worlding without Earth are the optimistic soundtrack to this realignment, subsuming the human, natural, and synthetic into one shimmering whole. Coming together over the last three years, this l…
Ritual Sonoro Para Ruinas Circulares
*300 copies limited edition* Based on the rereading of the famous tale by Jorge Luis Borges “The Circular Ruins”, the Peruvian composer, percussionist and painter, Manongo Mujica, takes a new look at some of his great obsessions: the desert on the coast of Peru and the pre-Hispanic ceremonials found there.

Aloha From Beastview Maul
*300 copies limited edition* "Like the Kolea (aka The Pacific Golden Plover) that migrates from the harsh winter tundra of Alaska & Siberia to the sunny climate of the Hawaiian Islands, Beastview Maul travels to warm & exotic lands not by wing but by sound waves. Hear the cascading waterfalls splash against the rocks below. Is that water or static? The distance between exotic lounge music and avant garde noise is not as far as you might think. Both allow the listener to be transported out of the…
