Further Opinions about Death
*200 copies limited edition* This is the second collaborative album between Matteo Uggeri (based in Milan) and Andrea Bellucci (from La Spezia). Their first work, "The Soundtrack of Your Secrets", was developed amid the well-known challenges of the pandemic, between 2020 and 2022. The last song of that album was titled “Opinions about Death”. Afterward, Matteo faced an even more difficult period in his life, accompanying his mother through her final days after a long illness that had lasted sinc…
Cold Star: A Noise Inc.
*200 copies limited edition* "Cold Star: A Noise Inc." is a collaboration between Deison and Cranioclast. From 2019 to 2024 there were continuous virtual exchange processes to create long sound-themes. The sounds were recorded, collected and manipulated by Deison at 1st Floor Studio and by Soltan Karik with the virtual succour by Sankt Klario. Tracks are segmented as circular encyclicas and the notorious use of anagrams is adopted for each title. Michael from Kallabris, helped to start the colla…
Tertium Quid
*200 copies limited edition* Exactly two years after “They Cast No Shadows” comes “Tertium Quid”, third CD from the LHAM project headed by Bruno De Angelis (Mana ERG) and Giuseppe Verticchio (Nimh) which once again leads the listener through complex and enthralling instrumental sound textures. The richness of the album’s arrangements and the sophistication of its harmonies are striking, alternating between calm stillness, quasi orchestral crescendos, fragments of darkness and restlessness follow…
Landscape 2024
*200 copies limited edition* After a careful evaluation of numerous international proposals, Landscape 2024 announces the official selection of the ten finalist works in the SoundArt category. Curated by the Zeugma Collective and now in its fourth edition, the project has established itself as a reference point for sound artists and video artists exploring the concept of landscape through sound and image.
This year's selection stands out for its diversity, featuring works ranging from experiment…
Desert Smell
*200 copies limited edition* "Desert Smell", a precious collaborative album by Fabio Orsi and Massimo Amato, is fundamentally centred on suffused and dreamy ambient atmospheres, with inserts of ethereal female voice, suspended notes of reverberated piano, echoes in reverse, breaths of synthetic woodwinds, floating and enveloping pads, fragments of abstract sounds, sequencer phrases sometimes kept soberly in the background, and sometimes reminding of cosmic memories brought more energetically to …
Fans For Fans
*200 copies limited edition* A 'monolithic' experiment in extremely minimal non-music constructed in two long parts. If the first part is dominated by a background based on a single sound rich in harmonics that oscillates on its own wave-like vibrations, resting on a substrate of what can be at the same time a synthetic pink noise or the real 'capture' of a natural quasi-silence, in the second part a few sounds of a more overtly electric/electronic matrix, a tangle of faint high-pitched looped e…
Glow World
*2025 much needed repress!!! 200 copies limited edition* Glow World is Rod Modell's new project resulting from his collaboration with Taka Noda. The duo delivers what could be an example of perfect elegance and musical refinement, but the resulting sounds are once again dirtied, ruined and ravaged by a noise capable of deafening us, sounds that come from afar, that seem to fade away but suddenly illuminate the world around us, which lands on us and which no longer belongs to us, leaving us lost …
Northern Michigan Snowstorms
"Northern Michigan Snowstorms" is an auditory journey that captures the serene beauty and introspective magic of stormy winters nights in the countryside. Each track transports listeneres to cozy cottages nesteld in tall pines. Music that mirrors the serene solitude of a snowy evening, where time slows, allowing the listener to be enveloped in a cocoon of sonic wonder. Ambient layers mimic the gentle wishpering of the wind through snow covered branches. Eight tracks of blurry loops, soft pads, a…
Music For Bus Stations
*2025 much needed repress!!!* Music For Bus Stations is an astonishing work that pours into the soul of those allowing themselves to be transported in a dimension where sound turns into background noise. Sound becomes part of us, of our movements, our thoughts, our looks and our silences. There is no reason for resistance. Let's be silent. The noise around us is quite good.
"Generative sonic backdrop for bus stations. Designed to enhance space and portray a mod of progressiveness, grandeur, and …
Hydor LP
Up To 23 is an electronic music duo formed by Marco Buffetti and Francesco Fincato. “Hydor LP” is a sonic journey diving into the ever-changing nature of water. From vast seascapes to the depths of the underwater world, the album aims to capture the power and tranquility of this elemental force, shifting between dark tones, ethereal visions and cinematic moods. The last two tracks feature a collaboration with Enrico Coniglio, whose guitar parts lay a foundation for fluid and hypnotic soundscapes…
Punti d'incontro
In ‘Punti d'Incontro’ the sound is fragmented and broken up, just like splinters or bits of broken glass, into infinite pieces. Through the stages of duets and trios, Eugenio Sanna, Lucio Bonaldo and Michele Scariot give life to buzzings, high-pitched sounds, like pinheads looking at and observing each other with caution, forming strange, gelatinous agglomerates; bewildered melodies that are swallowed up through a visionary plot and enter, swallowed up, into the gaps of an infinite space, in a r…
Due scritti imperfetti
Tip! "Due scritti imperfetti" contains three compositions meticulously put together by Giancarlo Toniutti, Deison and Massimo Toniutti. The location chosen for this collaboration was primarily the recording studio in Udine where, in a two-year timespan, the authors met to discuss, compose, record, trim, listening back, sifting out sounds and adapting their electro-acoustic mixtures.The music or rather 'musics' that emerged during this progress, represent different versions of ongoing experiments…
Appunti sonori su infinite sequenze
If during the early years of his long and prolific artistic activity, Fabio Orsi made extensive use of acoustic and concrete sound sources in his music, often painting very 'earthly' environmental realms, more recently he has definitively 'taken off', abandoning the earth to search for scenarios made of a purely synthetic matrix, building a myriad of dense electronic textures and pulsations, projected into the infinite and unexplored spaces of the universe.
This double CD collects a series of "s…
Below/Light
"Below/Light" by Filer Coleman is a selection of ambient works by Jim Filer Coleman. It represents an antidote, or perhaps a counterpart, to the more aggressive music that he may be more known for such as Cop Shoot Cop and Human Impact. These tracks were recorded over a span of a few years, slowly evolving and seeking definition. Electrocoustic in nature, the approach was always exploratory and playful, searching for balance and connection with the natural world.
Jim Coleman was an instrumental …
There is no longer any turning back
There is no longer any turning back is an excerpt from ”The Aphorisms of Zürau”, a posthumous work by Franz Kafka. The work represents a path without obstacles, a descending abyss toward ourselves, toward the roughness of our deepest selves that we cannot explain and probably cannot confess. The individual track titles make up another excerpt by David Foster Wallace from an interview with David Lipsky: «The part of me that thought I was different or smarter or whatever almost killed me.»
All tra…
Moltitudine in Labirinto
Bomb! 200 copies, clear vinyl. Valuable vinyl reissue for this historic four-handed work by Gigi Masin and Giuseppe Caprioli. The concept of multitude combined with the figure/symbol of the labyrinth suggests orders of thought relating to the multiple states of being that inhabit the dark labyrinths of the soul, the hidden regions of the human psyche. All in Multitude In Labyrinth leads us to look for keys to understanding the ultimate meaning of a test as enigmatic as it is powerful. A congerie…
The Gentle Whale
The acquatic and marine imagery drawn by the titles and the artwork for “The Gentle Whale”, Francesco Lurgo’s second LP, the first one for Silentes, are a metaphor for a sound that is liquid and like the sea is constantly shifting from the quietness of intimate ambient moments to waves of maximalist sonic pressure, always looking with admiration to the creative world of contemporary soundtracks. From this sonic fluid, arpeggios and themes played by melancholic post-rock guitars and plucky synths…
Return To Acapulco - Music For Hotels (Vol. 1)
The story of a family of hoteliers active since the 1960s on the Versilia Riviera, the renowned Tuscan seaside area, becomes the occasion for the compilation by the music critic and cultural agitator Vittore Baroni of an anthology of "Music for Hotels", a theme curiously ignored by international discography. A large group of musicians active in a variety of genres and styles have been asked to create a soundtrack for the different zones of the Hotel Acapulco in Forte dei Marmi - portrayed in the…
The Defiance of Self
*200 copies limited edition* After "The Disintegration Of Silence", marked as a continuation of the work between visual artist Stefano Gentile and Belgian ambient musician Dirk Serries, Dirk returns to Stefano's Silentes/13 label with a new album, entitled "Defiance Of Self". In the wake of its predecessor, Dirk worked on this album in January 2024 using his motherboard of pedals and an electric guitar to create this slightly darker and experimental album. Once again performed and recorded entir…
Clinamen
Limited edition of 111 physical copies with handmade 12" cover, 16-page 8" booklet, "fake" 12" vinyl and download code. The concept of ‘clinamen’ comes from Lucretius’s ‘On the nature of the universe’, and describes the swerve of the atoms from their original straight course. Such deviation generates collisions, and allows changes in the relationship between elements. Using the metaphor of clinamen, the album recalls the idea of invention as the result of a diversion from consolidated methodolog…
