*Comes in a CD-sized papersleeve album replica (gatefold), with obi-strip and insert of notes mostly in Japanese..2024 stock* Opus Avantra is an Italian treasure. As the name suggests, Opus Avantra is a one-of-a-kind sound space that combines opposing elements - tradition and innovation - in an aesthetic manner.

Live
*Comes in a CD-sized papersleeve album replica (gatefold), with obi-strip and insert of notes mostly in Japanese..2024 reissue* Legendary Italian dark sympho band Semiramis disappeared from the scene in 1973, leaving only one album. Named after an ancient Babylonian queen who is said to have created hanging gardens, and to have been a lover and cruel and inhumane, their sound can be described as dark symphonic. This long out-of-print album was, oddly enough, reunited and released a new album thi…

Private Venus 2023
"Most of the people who are opposed to the sex industry and sex work are feminist lesbians with a holier-than-thou prudish attitude towards the industry. I don't deal with street prostitutes. The ladies I include are well-respected for their unique services and private venues and they all are in a job they want to be in and enjoy." - George McCoy
Recorded and mixed in 2015 and 2023 at Nerolidio and Istituto di Elettronica Radicale - Como - Insubria.
Tracks 1-4 and 7 were originally on the Privat…

Lacuna and parlor
‘Lacuna and Parlor’ is anchored in the left-field chamber music and incidental recordings that have long accented more eaze’s roving sound. Composed with one ear pressed to the rich textures of instrumental recording environments, this is a resonant and tactile collection tinged in rephrased space and skewed time. Taking the rudiments of tonal music theory as her conceptual base, more eaze formed the compositions around her own manipulations of these core principles. Simple chord progressions st…
ex-DJ
*100 copies limited edition* In December 2023, dj sniff (US/JP), Mariam Rezaei (UK), SlowPitchSound (CA), and DJ Rex Chen (TW) met for the first time in Taipei to take part in "ex-DJ," a music program curated by dj sniff for the Taipei Biennial. The aim of this project was to highlight a musical practice that equally drew influences from experimental music, free improvisation, and hip hop. This collaborative initiative unfolded over a 10-day period within the Taipei Fine Arts Museum's specially …
Comes From Far Away From Here
*100 copies limited edition* Resourcefulness is sometimes presented as a humble quality born of necessity. But it’s a foundational tenet of the exceptionally unconstrained members of improvising trio Tamarisk, consisting of Christina Carter, David Menestres, and Andrew Weathers. Their latest is a continuation of the interplay they’ve developed for a few years now on a handful of releases and while touring. Like the most bizarre sort of jazz combo, Tamarisk grazes the orbits of outré free improv,…
Colonial Motels
*100 copies limited edition* Erica Dawn Lyle has been described by Pitchfork as a “punk hero,” which, though true, feels like an insufficiently specific term to describe her multifaceted presence and work. Colonial Motels is in fact rawly personal, a ladder out of an abyss of mourning as well as a determination to persevere and connect. Playing less but achieving more, this album captures the engaging intensity and directness that defines Lyle’s art, performance, and activism. Part I builds on p…
Jenseits Der Wand
*300 copies limited edition* "Jenseits der Wand" is the latest CD-release by Berlin-based multi-disciplinary artists Daniela Fromberg and Stefan Roigk, which results from two walk-in sound installations, which were realized in 2021 and 2022.
While one focuses on the diverse acoustic dimension of urban life with all its obscure and often indecipherable noises behind your own four walls, the other deals with the specific soundscape of a recycling center, which is created from the supposedly worthl…

The album reflects a childlike wonder, featuring emotional storytelling and surprising vocal shifts. It’s both touching and unsettling, showcasing Marcœur’s unique blend of poetry and eccentricity. The reissue h…
Armes & Cycles
*Comes in a CD-sized papersleeve album replica (gatefold), with obi-strip and insert of notes mostly in Japanese..2024 stock* On "Armes & Cycles," his last album of the wild seventies before a long hiatus, Albert Marcoeur remains meticulous in detail. He strikes a perfect balance between the exuberance of his debut and the lyrical redundancy of his second album. While still maintaining the song format, instrumental parts, especially those by guitarist François Ovide, are highlighted. The album s…
Auditory Poverty and its Discontents – An Essay (Book)
Where sounding is understood as an exhibition of activity, vitality, and power, Nina Dragičević proposes that we analyse sonic phenomena in econo-political terms.
In this essay—or is it perhaps a long love poem?—she dives into the sounding-listening dynamics and reveals them as class relations in which audibility is not an event following an occurrence of sound but a point in an intersectional class structure. With audibility, or rather the lack thereof, comes auditory poverty. And where there i…
Celui Où Y'A Joseph
*Comes in a CD-sized papersleeve album replica (gatefold), with obi-strip and insert of notes mostly in Japanese..2024 stock* 1983 and 4th studio album by this wonderful French jazz/prog/avant garde/RIO artist.

Les Cités Englouties
*2024 stock* Laure Boer is Kashual again. And not so Plastik. Zoning dark-ish into her inner realms of journey music. Poetic, psychic, reflective, ejective. She sings. Weeps. Speaks. Intimate looping narratives, celebrating personal glories and all those worries. Stylistically alternating from electroacoustic dimensions to drone guitar amp personas, from folk melodiousness to witchy avant-notes. Ten drifters for the Lomaxed creatures, earthbound, and always up there in the luminaries. Music that…
Ministry of Excess
Obscene data and expressive concepts: while being sober all the time, Kashual Plastik launches the “Ministry of excess”. A 21-track strong tape compilation of unrestricted musical memoirs, created by individuals with no memory. Transportive noise, catching sounds from all hums. Experimental sculptures, fractured in research. Hunting the sub-consciousness of things. Instinct acting from an inner necessity. Making familiar objects be as if they were not familiar - and vice versa. On the bill KP ac…
