Open Soul
2025 Red Vinyl Released in 1976 by Chicago's local label Stage Productions, this is the only album by a 6-piece soul band centered around the four Burton brothers. The original version is rarely available on the market, and when it does sell for over US$1000, it's no exaggeration to say that it's the ultimate collector's edition that everyone wants at least once! Starting with the epic and groovy funk "Open Soul" (B1) that uses the entire B-side of the record and lasts over 20 minutes, the super…
BorderlessSoutheastofTheNorth
"What we have here is a result of an idea ignited almost 15 years ago with its roots deep in the era of subculture 1990s, when its teenage protagonists started listening to records. But the comradeship between the three of us started in the early 2000 when I was pursuing my first Utopian idea of an art commune in the form of a counter-festival in the Southeastern Slovenian countryside on the border with Croatia. An idea from which, years later, another Utopian project was born - an international…

For the CRXSSINGS release, Jan Jelinek remixed Nielsen’s Framework 10, a track from the Framework Book/CD (arbitrary01) based on sequences/recordings of sine waves and noise. Side B: a rework by Mads Emil Nielsen of Jelinek’s voice collage and electronic sou…
Impressões de Várias Ilhas (Field recordings from Macaronésia)
After impressions of Unguja and Borneo islands, Discrepant's chieftain Gonçalo F. Cardoso continues his sonic travelogue on insularity with 'Impressões de Várias Ilhas'.
Hillbilly Ragas
Sir Richard Bishop returns with Hillbilly Ragas, an album of raw, solo acoustic guitar explorations. Stripping back to basics, he blends American Primitive style with East Indian raga, creating untamed, rhythmic pieces that evoke the spirit of an outsider’s folk tradition.
True than Nature
True than Nature encourages active listening. There is sound that exists seemingly for its own sake – a continuing drone that slowly evolves, sound of nature – and there are sounds that refer to a momentary action, and sudden intrusions of sound. BJ Nilsen triggers shifts in the perception for the listener that alter how you perceive and experience the world through sound, and how you think about sound.
Listening to True than Nature is full of moments of instability. The shifts between sound spa…
A Book of Waves
"After playing together for years, our tide was turning. What began as a happy rhythm of show dates in Berlin, from cozy trios in Klaus’ home studio to ten-piece ensembles at Ausland, was now ebbing away thanks to Andy’s move to the US. Whenever an accustomed pattern shifts it can take time to readjust, to find the gravity that will pull to shape an orbit again. What had been working well between us remained on both our minds for a few years after: the tension between complimentary forms and ref…

Time is a mysterious companion in Alan Lamb’s Primal Image/Beauty.

Lamb’s music invites us to experience the world’s hidden sounds, unlocking inner reflection.
Kansai Bruises
London-based percussionist and composer Valentina Magaletti teams up with Japanese experimental electronic artist YPY for Kansai Bruises, an evocative exploration of cross-cultural sonic territories that bridges European avant-garde percussion with Japanese electronic minimalism. The album unfolds across eight carefully crafted tracks that document a metaphysical journey through Japan's Kansai region, where ancient traditions collide with hypermodern urban realities. Opening with One Hour Visa, …
Meditate & Destroy + The Window
Special discounted bundle. Two essential releases from Les Disques Omnison redefining the boundaries of contemporary experimental music. On one side, HWYUIOD with The Window: ambient drift and processed sounds floating somewhere between the meditative expanses of Éliane Radigue, the expansive minimalism of early Kranky releases (Labradford, Stars of the Lid),and kraut-rock heritage, where post-rock textures merge with avant-garde electronics. On the other, Barzabal & Gatier with Meditate & Destr…
The Window
200 copies. Les Disques Omnison is thrilled to announce the vinyl release of The Window by HWYUIOD, a mysterious project that has been quietly building a devoted following through digital channels and word-of-mouth in underground experimental circles. The Window represents a singular vision of ambient drift and processed sound that exists somewhere between the meditative expanses of Éliane Radigue , the expansive minimalism of early Kranky releases (Labradford, Stars of the Lid), and the textur…
Indagine Su Un Cittadino Al Di Sopra Di Ogni Sospetto (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
Ennio Morricone's subversive 1970 masterpiece finally emerges in full stereo after 55 years. This restored edition of Indagine su un Cittadino al di Sopra di Ogni Sospetto reveals the composer's deliberately "imperfect" instrumentation—out-of-tune piano, mandolin, synthesizer—as radical social commentary. Essential archival triumph.
Garden Variety
"Garden Variety" explores interdependence and intimacy through the emergent behavior of percussion instruments. Inspired by Anne Carson’s concept of Eros, the series blurs sonic identities, creating a composite instrument from motion. Amplification invites listeners into a tactile, resonant sound world.
Poor Isa + Evan Parker/Ingar Zach
Acclaimed Belgian duo Poor Isa (banjoists Ruben Machtelinckx and Frederik Leroux) present their third album, evolving their minimalist style by collaborating with saxophonist Evan Parker and percussionist Ingar Zach. The result is a rich blend of introspective textures and dynamic improvisation.
Nuit Blanche
*100 copies limited edition* In da Woods is the sonic project of Paris and Berlin-based composer and sound designer Antoine Eole, formerly of the electro-rock band Bad Pilot. Known for his work across TV series, documentaries, theater productions, and major ad campaigns (MTV, Disney, Hermès), Antoine blends cinematic soundscapes with the raw edge of experimental and future garage music. With Nuit Blanche, Antoine explores atmospheric and bass-driven compositions, featuring the ethereal vocals of…
Hyperboréen
With Hyperboréen, we set sail for a dreamy, fantastical North, where the cold and the distant call for contemplation. Six other musicians accompany us on this journey. This strong atmosphere of mental and literary images resonated with the recording - isolated in the heart of the Puisaye countryside - of the six tracks on the album. The sounds of the instruments are deconstructed and reassembled in a process akin to electroacoustic editing, while they are joined by sounds from elsewhere, produce…
Sans motif apparent
A saxophone, filtered live through electro-acoustic manipulation, creates unpredictable soundscapes. Fred Wallich and Pierre Audoynaud improvise, challenging jazz conventions and expectations, inviting listeners into new, bewildering auditory geographies and experiences.

You're Beautiful
*100 copies limited edition* 'You're Beautiful' is the fantastical album of Berlin-based artist Laurén Maria. Part singer-songwriter ballads, part experimental collages, part poignant distortion-laden anthems, the album is like a journey of strange encounters in a mysterious woodland. Maria's mystical voice is our companion on this adventure, sometimes vulnerable, front and centre, at other times heavily processed and part of the fabric of the forest. On songs like "Zephyr" featuring Ludwig Wand…
