*188 copies limited edition* "Ventilator, trio” (2013) is a electroacoustic piece studying airflow and various phenomena such as asynchronicity, the Doppler effect as well as the proximity effect of microphonics. In this simplistic installation the airflow of three mechanical fans (one large, flanked by two small fans) is picked up by three directional microphones. As each fan rotates in different tempo, different ‘pitches’ emerge. Furthermore differences in amplitude as well as changes in the l…

*300 copies limited edition* Alchemist Maurizio Bianchi has opened seven gates that lead directly to a trance state. Beyond the gates, the sound of higher dimensional beings moving through space, or perhaps the revelry of angels as they celebrate their pouring down from the heavens, jointly unfold the world of a superb ambient trance symphony that mixes unknown sounds that resist our ordinary perception. You can transit at your own leisure in this blissful trance world, and it may be a chance fo…

*2024 stock* “‘Datu’ is the name given to the ruling head of a clan or tribe during ancient, pre-colonial times of the Philippines. Colonization, cultural amnesia, and the reshaping of Philippine culture throughout generations have me and countless others almost completely disconnected from our roots. With no knowledge of what stories exist in the physical reality of my bloodline, the concept behind this album is my way of reconnecting with my ancestry in the spiritual realm of the creative flow…

*2024 much needed repress* Ulla returns with ‘Foam’, a surprise new album unlocking variants of ambient pop and looped jazz/dub styles coiled inside a glitched matrix that reminds us of Huerco S’ ‘Plonk’ as well as Ekkehard Ehlers fractal treatments and those incredible, smudged and disneyfied edits of Celine Dion released earlier this year by elusive outfit Romance. It’s an absorbing, quietly significant album for 3XL, on its most substantial release to date. Responsible for one of contemporary…

Longtime enthusiasts of ambient music have much to celebrate as Rafael Anton Irisarri's cherished out-of-print cassette, "Midnight Colours," returns in a meticulously remastered edition and makes its inaugural debut on vinyl. The significance of this album's announcement is accentuated by its historical resonance, coinciding with the same day in 1952 when the world bore witness to the first-ever test of the hydrogen bomb. "Midnight Colours" is far more than a mere album; it's an exploration of t…

Hjirok is a mythical figure, conceived as a fictional character by Iranian-born Kurdish singer and artist Hani Mojahedy. Together with versatile music producer Andy Toma of Mouse On Mars, she combined a variety of sounds collected during their joint travels to Iraqi Kurdistan and elsewhere with heavily processed recordings of Sufi drum rhythms and setar melodies. The result is a driving, dubbed-out, and deeply intricate soundscape that perfectly sets the stage for Mojahedy's extended, unconventi…

*200 copies limited edition* After working with Space Streakings, the early version of Kairai-Bunch," which was formed as a robot battle performance group, and Raichu, a unit he formed with Chu Ishikawa, Ikuo Shimizu continues to work solo under the name Kairai-Bunch, and has now completed his first collection of sound sources.

Tip! He has held many events in Tokyo underground, and has various faces such as guitarist of HUH, VJ play, collage production, and duo with Shizuo Uchida. This is his second entry in this series. This time, Terada's approach is "rhythm," with a minimalism reminiscent of the 90s sound school and electronica, but with a touch of kitsch here and there, as is typical of Terada, whose humor is one of his charms. The nine rhythm tracks are cool, hip, and relaxed, with subtle and tricky changes in a c…

An ambient piece by the Spanish artist. Entitled "Hymn to Life, Ode to Death," it begins with beautiful, fragile harmonies. The field-recorded sounds, composed of binaural recordings, create the illusion of a journey of rebirth from life to death and death to life. The sound of winged insects flapping their wings as if symbolizing death, and the flow of water as if representing the root of life. It is a deep ambient work that reminds us once again of the parallels between life and death that com…

* Clear Wax with Pink & Yellow Splatter * In the 1970s, Betty Davis defied genre and gender by pushing her voice to extremes and embracing the erotic. She articulated a kind of pre–punk, funk–blues fusion that had yet to be normalized in mainstream music — a style that few musicians have come close to replicating. As one of the first Black women to write, arrange, and produce her own albums, Betty was a visionary who disregarded industry boundaries and constraints. Raw, unapologetic, and in full…

The film premiered in October 2023 during Videodroom / Film Festival Ghent. In her surreal and trippy gem of analog filmmaking Gonzales draws up whole universes of movement and color that seem to shar…

*50 copies limited edition* Mangled surf-rock samples and washed-up suds of everyday oddities define Shallow Buoy, the newest release from remote duo Stumped. Consisting of Berlin-based Page Swanson and Pennsylvania-confined Adam Buffington, Stumped strain field recordings and borrowed sounds through various analogue and electronic processes, resulting in a sonic puree that's never stodgy.

Tip! *315 copies limited edition* The latest release on An’archives, Suikyō, documents a first-time meeting between three Japanese improvisers: Takashi Masubuchi on guitar and harmonica; Ayami Suzuki on voice and electronics; and Tomo on hurdy-gurdy. Recorded at Permian on the 29th of January, 2023, it’s a stunning, forty-minute long improvisation of rare artistic sympathy. Notably, it was the first time the trio had performed together, though Masubuchi and Suzuki have prior form as a duo; on th…

And she is known to creative musicians far and wide, with an incredibly diverse CV that includes performance and re…

Here is the debut, self-titled album from Schatterau, a Hamburg and Berlin-based three-piece consisting of Daniel Jahn, Jonas Meyer and Tobias Rutkowski. Having dug out their old 4-track cassette recorder, the group turned it into their primary instrument, spending many hours exploring textures, creating countless tape loops and weaving them into this elegantly crafted inaugural work of 15 miniatures. At times, some of these fully realised, lo-fi ambient tales have a warm dream-like feel to them…

2023 marks the tenth year of Music From Memory; a decade of groundbreaking archival releases, cross-generational collaborations and long-standing creative partnerships with our ever-expanding community of artists. To celebrate this milestone, earlier this year we asked our roster of artists to submit a piece of music for an anniversary compilation. As submissions gradually came in, we were blown away by what we received and slowly began to piece them together into what was to become “10”. Featur…

* 300 copies limited edition * Described as sublime tape music (despite not being released on cassette), Drifting is a transatlantic collaboration between Julia Bjernelind (Amateur Hour), Weston Czerkies (Form Hunter) and Dan Johansson (Sewer Election). A potent trialectic between whom we've never heard a collaboration before, their debut Dream Autopsy certainly sounds like just that; a picking-apart of both manifest and latent dream content in waking sonic life. The "dreaminess" of the album is…

*200 copies limited edition* Volume 2 is the long awaited followup from the all-star Chicago trio of Quin Kirchner, Daniel Van Duerm & Matthew Lux. Although it's been three years since their debut, Volume 1, KVL has continued to hone their brand of call-it-whatever-you-want jazz, keeping many of the same meditative and ambient qualities as their previous album, but expressed in new and different ways - Van Duerm's repetitive and winding organ lines on "Absent Crash," Kirchner's steady & insisten…

Limited 80 copies, numbered. Legendary 1973 recordings by the sound artist Yoichi Niisato. The cassette tape recorder played an important role in Niisato's unusual works  - as the recording of his footsteps in a subway car - through a cicle of works titles 'Research' that were subsequently described in his autobiographical book, Story, which was published in 1982. "The break is over, and I put on my work clothes. Don’t be cool. The hands that hold a drill are singing. There is a feeling of cold,…

*2024 stock* "There is no horror more visceral than the horror of the impersonal, so it makes sense that Mica Levi, composing the film's score, would turn to the master of elemental horror György Ligeti, whose ability to gather masses of semitones into translucent wisps without a center made The Shining, which relied heavily on his work Lontano, the scariest movie ever made. (Watch that film with the music off, I still maintain, and it becomes a particularly caustic domestic comedy.) The score o…

*2024 stock* "Rustine" is the result of the photographic works by Simon Vansteenwinckel and the music of The Three Oldmen’s Birds (Mathias Van Eecloo) initiated by IIKKI, between September 2021 and July 2022.  The complete project works in two physical imprints:  The book and the disc (cd)  It should be experienced in different ways :  the book read alone  the disc listened to alone  the book and the disc read and listened to together.  The Three Oldmen's Birds is a solo music project by Mathias…

MX-80 Sound is an eclectic American art-rock band founded in 1974 in Bloomington, USA, by guitarist Bruce Anderson. Considered one of the most out of step but prescient bands of its time, MX-80's signature sound consists of breakneck metallic guitar combined with atonal chord structure, cross-rhythmic percussion and dispassionate vocals. Notoriously difficult to categorize—the band has been labeled noise rock, post-punk, acid punk, and heavy-metal—MX-80's sonic melange set the stage for bands su…

*150 copies limited edition* The organ dates back to 1790 and was made by Venanzo Fedeli, who came from a prestigious family of organ builders. This particular organ is tuned in the ancient way at 430 Hz. Tuning relies on pure thirds that aim to create dissonances within the instrument itself. Since the organ is an instrument modeled according to the principles of nature, the intonation of the pipes was performed according to an incompletely equal system that reflects the natural intonation base…
