In The Light Of The Current Myth
"The time in Porto when Barry Guy and The Blue Shroud Band recorded an album all this here would also be a time when a group of outstanding artists and warm friends also had the opportunity to spend time making music together outside the big band formula. It's not easy to bring together some of Europe's most original artists, and it's not easy to assemble such a stellar quintet with Savina Yannatou, Julius Gabriel, Agusti Fernendez, Barry Guy and Ramon Lopez. It's a great thing to be able to doc…
Voiceact
"In the beginning, was the voice, before there were instruments even the oldest ones - percussion! The voice has always been there, and when voices resound in a musical space, in a pure improvised creative act then extraordinary things happen! Such was the case when four outstanding vocalists Anna Gadt, Natalia Kordiak, Marta Grzywacz and Gosia Zagajewska met in the Warsaw space “Prześwit” to improvise a new unique sound world. Did they succeed? We think it succeeded more than great!!!!!!!!" - F…
Live In St. Johann
"The legend of the world of improvisation and the field of double bass virtuosity, Joelle Leandre, needs no introduction. She is one of the most expressive and original artists in the world! The singer and composer Elisabeth Harnik is probably already remembered by music lovers enough to follow her musical journey with bated breath, and Zlatko Kaucic, well, if you are in love with percussion painting, sensitivity, and expression combined with communication skills, this is one of the best address…

Black Truffle is thrilled to present a Song for two Mothers / Occam IX the first ever solo release from Laetitia Sonami.

Sonami is perhaps most closely associated with one of her inventions, the Lady’s Glove, an arm-length tailored glove fi…
Seasons
Organic, electric, freeform. Pete Jolly's Seasons is comprised of melodies and textures composed live and without pretense—its grooves contain a complete and divine listening experience that surpasses all others of the era in which it was originally released, coming as close to transcendent musical meditation incarnate as one could possibly imagine. Seasons is an unsung masterpiece of ensemble groove and stellar musicianship, equally unsurpassed and inspired in its quiet excellence.

Red Moon
Low Leaf is the long-running and multivalent project of Los Angeleno and multi-instrumentalist Angelica-Marie. Riding the wake of 2023’s Microdose—melding/channeling free jazz, astrology, hip-hop, eco-spirituality, and geo-political anger—Red Moon is a tight, three-song release, a snapshot of Low Leaf during an especially dynamic period. Having received training in classical piano as a child, Low Leaf is equally adept as a self-taught guitarist, harpist, and producer. Indeed, these four elements…

2024 stock. “Ana Roxanne is an intersex Southeast Asian musician based in Los Angeles. Born & raised in the Bay Area to immigrant parents, Ana's love for music and singing began through her mother's cd collection of 80's/90's R&B divas. Raised in the catholic church, she became a devout choir nerd and found any opportunity to sing, whether for religious mass, the jazz ensemble of her catholic high school, or karaoke at family gatherings. Her commitment to singing led her to a brief stint at a vo…
Rodan (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
"Behold the might of Rodan, the giant monster from the sky! In 1956, Toho unleashed their first colour kaiju picture: Rodan, directed by Ishiro Honda and produced by Tomoyuki Tanaka, is a terrifying tale from the creators of the original Godzilla that sees a giant Pteranodon rise from a deep underground cave after being disturbed by miners. Like the Big G, Rodan has mutated to excessive size after being exposed to nuclear radiation, subsequently soaring free above Kyushu to cause as much mayhem …

Return of the SAD 1024, Vol. I & II
During a 2010 stay in Stockholm, Sweden, Stefan Tcherepnin cold-called the Elektronmusikstudion (EMS) and began making frequent visits to the facility’s Serge Modular, the synthesizer system developed by his uncle. Tcherepnin secured a makeshift residency at the studio, and soon met Anders Enge, a musician and producer associated with the acid techno label Börft. For over a decade, the pair have collaboratively explored the instrument’s outer-limits in the hallowed studio where figures like Knut…

Triple Point
"Loscil — who may be more familiar to some as Scott Morgan, the drummer for indie-popsters Destroyer — is the exception that proves the rule. And his debut album Triple Point, an ambient-techno concept album about thermodynamics (no, really), is no less exceptional. Burbling and pulsing along to smoothly running cybergrooves, tracks with names like Hydrogen, Ampere, Pressure and Conductivity present a chilly antiseptic front broken only by the odd, seemingly random injection of assorted clicks, …
Bright Size Life
New vinyl edtition as part of the "Luminessence" Series, presented as a tip-on gatefold including new photos from the archive. “I personally feel this is a great record and recommend it to everyone. It’s positive and hot and simply excellent.” – Gary Burton
Pat Metheny had debuted at ECM as a member of Gary Burton’s band on the album Ring in 1974, but Bright Size Life, his first studio recording as a leader, was the album that decisively put him on the map as a bright new force, with something…
Flora
*100 copies limited edition* “She is so bright and glorious that you cannot look at her face or her garments for the splendor with which she shines. For she is terrible with the terror of the avenging lightning, and gentle with the goodness of the bright sun; and both her terror and her gentleness are incomprehensible to humans.... But she is with everyone and in everyone, and so beautiful is her secret that no person can know the sweetness with which she sustains people, and spares them in insc…
Lune Noire
*102 copies limited edition* The new work by Majdanek Waltz is laconic in form but polished in style and content. Eight short pieces succinctly summarize the spirit of dark musical surrealism, rooted in the neo-folk tradition, yet long ago evolved into the realm of avant-garde sound collage. The lyrics of René Daumal and Evgeniy Golovin inevitably permeate the album with their dark intellectual charm. All that remains is to pour another glass, press the “repeat” button, and look into the Moon's …
Sunkissed
“The score aims to evoke the experience of proximity to the sun—a dual force that can be soothing one moment and hazardous the next. Sunkiss embodies this duality, where the sun's radiant energy sustains life's flourishing while also capable of devastating destruction. To be kissed by the sun signifies both blessing and curse, illuminating the fragile balance between vitality and peril that defines life on Earth.”
Sunkissed is a live recording of a four-hour performance directed by Mylan Hoezen …
Groove, Bang And Jive Around
Despite decades of notoriety as one of the “filthiest books in the world,” Steve Cannon’s first and only novel, Groove, Bang and Jive Around, has hardly been read since first being published by the Paris-based Ophelia Press in 1969. Due to its scarcity, the New York Press deemed it “an underground classic of such legendary stature that New York’s black cognoscenti have transmogrified the work into urban myth.” This debut, revised for release by Olympia Press in 1971, cemented Cannon’s place as a…
