Arv & Miljö
Biiig Tip! Edition of 300. The LP comes with a 12-page booklet. The final album from Arv & Miljö consists of two sidelong pieces based almost entirely on field recordings. The recordings roughly span from 2014 to 2024 and were primarily recorded in Gothenburg, capturing life-affirming moments from an intense decade through snippets from endless summer nights out, great people desperately wanting more from life, hazy underground culture encounters and just random, confusing everyday nonsense that…
Disc Rot
Long and intermittent running duo of Discrepant head honcho Gonçalo F Cardoso and Angela Valid's Alex Jones, with sometime collaborator Phil Laney aka Kenny Hosepipe joining in somewhere along the way, Hair & Treasure crossover from Sucata Tapes to Discrepant wax via 'Disc Rot'. Described by the duo, in their cryptic and scatological fashion, as "a fetid spread from the buttery catacombs of Hair & Treasure", one can only speculate on the mindset, if not for the scenario, for these file swap reco…
Lume
*100 copies limited edition* Nitechord is an intercontinental ambient-tech duo that has so far issued only two remixes, but they emerge in full form on Lume, a début that extols the calm and mystery of night through mid-tempo pulses and shadowy whispers. Their initial cassette demo landed in Past Inside the Present's mailbox in 2022, devoid of credits or other biographical information, accompanied only by a brief quatrain:
“We hopethere is room enoughin your worldfor this work.”
Those original r…
Impressioni Organizzate di Ansie Liquide / Vaco (2 LP bundle)
Tip! This bundle includes the latest twi vinyl LPs released by Anomala Soundscapes:Andrea Marutti, Carlo Giordani "Impressioni Organizzate di Ansle Liquide" (LP, 100 copies in poster cover with printed inner sleeve)Maath "Vaco" (LP, 100 copies in black 'disco bag' cover with sticker)
Vaco
Atmospheres that evoke nocturnal wanderings without a precise destination, in search of sensations and unexpected events as if in a sort of psychic drift in which sounds, collected in random order in different places and times, fluctuate in compositions somewhere between soundscapes, ambient and electroacoustic music. The material on "Vaco" is deliberately fragmentary, a succession of incidental phenomena that the author projects outside specific space-time coordinates in a hypothetical and abst…
Impressioni Organizzate di Ansie Liquide
“Impressioni Organizzate di Ansie Liquide” is the third part of a work in progress whose first two chapters were already published in 2020, by taâlem on a 3" MiniCD and by St.An.Da. on CD. The origin of the project, however, dates back many years, when in 2011 Andrea Marutti was asked to compose the soundtrack for the multimedia work “Aquology - Oceano interiore” by Massimo Indelicati. Carlo Giordani's subsequent involvement in the project led to a first draft of the soundtrack that was used jus…
Water Messages On Desert Sand
The extraordinary 1987 debut album from the Italian legendary duo. Water Messages on Desert Sand was the very first sound creation from the Italian avantgarde duo of Roberto Musci and Giovanni Venosta. A classic work in the genre, released by Chris Cutler's Recommended Records in 1987. Back in the mid Eighties, Musci & Venosta, both on sampler, synthesizer, guitar, piano, effects and tapes were masters in overlaying and constructing rhythmic and harmonic pictures of transparent sound from electr…

Also one half of the ambient duo, Awakened Souls, she most recently curated the mental health benefit compilation for Past Inside The Present, Healing Together. Filled with the sounds of nature and visions of the clouds and heavens above, chamomi…
A Life In Setting Suns
** 180g opaque blue/pink vinyl record. Edition of 200. ** That liminal moment, when the phosphorescence behind the window shade first disrupts your eyelids, is a difficult one to pinpoint. Sometimes the earliest thought in your mind is a long-tail partial memory of those last few moments of a thousand-yard dream, sometimes it’s an irrepressible descending sigh as you anticipate what’s to follow, whether with apprehension or ardor. Centuries have passed in your unconscious absence; every frequenc…
Fantastico Interiore
Big tip! *50 copies limited edition* nobile, one half of the former Milanese duo Voronoi, presents a new series of recordings of ephemeral ambient soundscapes, organic throbs and broken rhythmic textures that sublimate the more instinctual and playful side of his poetics.
The project is haunted by cavernous sounds and an obsession with the 'netherworld' of the videogame Minecraft, and by Le Matin des Magiciens - the classic and revolutionary book that popularised occultism, alchemy and paranorm…
Damaged Future
**Edition of 100** Unlike the electro-acoustic suite “Combustion” which inaugurated the catalog of Anomala Soundscapes in the split album together with Daniele Pecorelli, Mark Schaub’s new work develops on various levels articulating between very dissimilar styles and sounds. The trait d’union between these short compositions is the attempt to recreate the apocalyptic scenarios of Ballard in music, an author so dear to a certain industrial culture that here once again he returns to the center of…
&
Tip, last few copies! **Edition of 100** Debut LP for the new label Anomala Soundscapes, the split album “&” creates an ideal sound bridge between two composers based in Rome and, active in the field of research, Daniele Pecorelli and Mark Schaub. The first, through the gradual expansion of the sound material contained in the "Who’ll Frame My Memories in Ash" suite, works by metaphors, ideally and effectively representing the idea of death, the dispersion of vital energy, and the persistence of …

Tip, few copies available! **Edition of 100** Dissimilar works documenting different experiences. A collection of disparate live and studio recordings, sourced from field recordings and weird self-made instruments. A curious mix of acoustic and electronic sounds like many little voices buzzing and screaming in a desolate mechanic land establishing an otherwordly surreal landscape. At times bizarre, at times claustrophobic.
Kuma Cove
“Music is my forever cove,” writes Portland, Oregon’s Luke Wyland of the ideas that give shape to Kuma Cove, his latest album under his own name. Though named after a real place on the Oregon coast, Kuma Cove casts its gaze far beyond the sightseer’s line of vision. Recorded live in the studio and blurring obvious lines between computer-based composition and electro-acoustic instrumentation, it is an album about flow, borders, transitory states, and shelter. Composed of discontinuous ripples and…
Ōki-sa
*100 copies limited edition* Jason Kolàr (Stroom) returns to Dauw on this collaboration with Japanese musician Fumitake Tamura (Leaving Records). 'Ōki-sa' documents the duo's encounters during Kolàr's Japan tour in September 2023. Fumitake Tamura and Jason Kolàr met in Tokyo during Kolàr’s Japanese tour in September 2023. Sharing a mutual admiration for their previous works, they decided to meet at Soundbar Patrol in Sangenjaya for a series of improvisational sessions.
The album contains a chro…
Soplo
Tip! *100 copies limited release* "Soplo" is the debut solo album from Berlin-based Mexican multimedia artist, sound designer, and DJ, Daniela Huerta -- and a true thing of beauty it is. A hallucinatory array of vaporous atmospheres, illusory rhythms, vanishing voices, and evocative environmental recordings, "Soplo" (Spanish for 'breath') ruminates on the enduring resonance of storytelling. Huerta places an interest in mythology at the center of her practice, using it as a springboard to explore…
Musique pour structures sonores Baschet
After a triptych released by Un je-ne-sais-quoi, in barely 3 years, under the name Tachycardie, Jean-Baptiste Geoffroy, musician, composer but also visual artist, continues his very singular journey to the heart of sound matter, with an album composed on Baschet sound structures. From the 1950s, the Baschet brothers created a truly innovative set of instruments which has since fascinated musicians seeking new sound experiences. Both sculptures of glass, metal and instruments of great acoustic sh…
Dew Point Harmonics
Balmat began our journey in 2021 with the release of Luke Sanger’s Languid Gongue. Now, three years later, we turn an important corner as the Norfolk musician rejoins us with Dew Point Harmonics, the first repeat appearance on the label. Sanger’s new album feels like a natural extension of his inaugural record for Balmat: It’s a bewitching collection of esoteric synth sketches that slips unpredictably between consonant repetition, poignant melodies, and gnarled bursts of noise that catch in the …
Plage Arrière
Tip! *300 copies limited edition* A much needed repress of French ambient composer and lifeguard Roméo Poirier's cult debut record, Plage Arrière. Released with updated artwork, by London imprint Kit Records. Plage Arrière is a deep sea meditation on a constellation of Greek beaches across three islands. Trumpets, echo-clicks and Harold Budd-esque shimmer piano whirl together on these sand-caked missives, tumbled and re-engineered by their surroundings like seaglass. Poirier evokes the sub-aqeao…
Lights In The Pond
Lights In The Pond is a contemplative exploration of a dilated dimension. Layers of natural field recordings form a landscape inhabited by rarefied melodies that unravel and chase each other until they tear apart.A bioluminescent pool, scanned by the technological remnants of a hidden humanity.
Lights In The Pond is the solo project of Davide Amici, born in 1987 in a small town on the Adriatic coast. Over the years, he dabbled in various genres and played many instruments, mastering none and enj…
