After Psychonavigation and Air, Infinite Fog continues its series of five-CD editions devoted to Pete Namlook with the complete Silence collection.
Silence began in Frankfurt in the early 1990s as a collaboration between Pete Namlook and Dr. Atmo, whose ambient nights at the XS club brought the two musicians together. Released in December 1992, their first album was the first full-length ambient release on Namlook’s newly founded FAX label and soon became an early label classic. The second album…
For over 25 years, David Madson (aka Odd Nosdam) has been stationed away from the light of the mainstream, diligently working the nightshift. Every so often, we awake to find another of his bleary and beautiful missives slung into the waking world – albums whose assemblages of sampled grooves, atmospheres and voices are unified by a hallucinatory sense of melody, like disparate visions strung together through ribbons of sleep-talk. From his earliest days as a member of the seminal group cLOUDDEA…
Although humans possess language as a means of communication, we sometimes hurt each other simply by intending to. In war, bullets kill people. If we consider words to be like bullets, they can be violent and cause mental suffering. However, when communication causes problems, the only way to solve them is through more communication. I thought: wouldn't it be wonderful if those bullets could turn into flowers instead? In everyday life, when we talk, laugh and share moments with friends and famil…
“Variable,” an album by Hybrid Leisureland-the project of Hidetoshi Koizumi, who has been active as an electronica and ambient composer and arranger since his debut in Paris, France, in 2010-is now available on CD.
The title “Number Face'' comes from my wish for a peaceful world where individual values and ways of thinking are respected. No one in the world is the same or has the same face. Just like our environments, what we like, what we don't like, what we're good at, and what we value are different. I would be happy if you could realize that no two people are the same, that means you are unique, and that each of you is important.
In this album, "Number Face," the music expresses a sympathy with the var…
This 12-track album is the artist's first album released after changing from his stage name to his real name, Hidetoshi Koizumi. The songs were composed with the hope that they would be an opportunity for listeners to receive "signals" they need. Signals are everywhere. When aware of them, they touch the listener and evoke emotions and thoughts relating to various things around them that have influenced them. In life, we all are influenced by things such as the environment, nature, and other peo…

*In process of stocking. Limited edition of 500 copies.* Taking cues from doom metal, smoky ECM avant-jazz plates, dreampop and disorienting GRM classics, Jake Muir and LA psych-sludge mainstay Evan Caminiti join hands on "Talisman", a blacklight-doused set of grim, beatless shimmers that push back on contemporary ambient logic.
Muir and Caminiti are sick and tired of ambient music's bizarre entanglement with the wellness industrial complex. You know what we're on about here: healing sounds and …

Passiflora, the tenth edition of the Music To Watch Seeds Grow By series: KiF Productions follow the passion flower from seed to bloom and back to earth in nine collaged ambient pieces. Cassette.
It was some line up, even for the most open-minded: Emmanuelle Parrenin and her musicians, in 1981, opening for the Clash in Paris, at the Zénith! Unsurprisingly, the crowd roared the name of the English band as soon as the French musicians appeared on stage. Didier Malherbe responded with a saxophone improvisation with all the others joining in behind. If we believe the musician improvising, rather than following the cult playlist of Maison Rose, was what saved them. Created from previously unp…

Nigel uses vintage analog and virtual synths and old-school effects. Nostalgic…
*200 copies limited edition* Twenty years after its original release, The Sound Of Lights When Dim remains a remarkable opening statement from Drew Sullivan’s Slow Dancing Society. First released on September 6, 2006, the eight-track album established a musical language that Sullivan would continue to explore and refine for the next two decades: slowly unfolding electronics, treated guitar, soft rhythmic movement and melody shaped less by conventional structure than by memory, atmosphere and emo…
Spencer Clark returns as Monopoly Child with five electronic sound paintings inspired by Rome's Villa Borghese gardens: distorted voices, transformed bells and luminous synthesizers as a manual of levitation magic.
"Before his prolific activity in the field of music therapy, Agostino Nirodh Fortini also embarked on his own path in electronic music. In the early eighties he was a close collaborator of Walter Maioli and Fred Gales, at the time of the pioneering label Sound Reporters.Suoni Immaginari, released only privately on cassette in 1988, contains a wide range of keyboards and lots of ethnic field recordings assembled with an absolutely modern praxis ahead of its time. Nirodh imagines his planetary ody…

IKSRE (I Keep Seeing Rainbows Everywhere / Phoebe Dubar) presents "in all her forms (sound meditations vol. 2)", a deeply immersive one-hour sound bath album where water functions as both physical element and guiding metaphor for transformation.Across the work, water is understood as constant change within continuity. It moves through states of solid, liquid, and gas, yet always returns to itself as H₂O. This cycle becomes the conceptual foundation of the album, reflecting on how we as humans mi…
r beny returns with feedback memory, a new five-track album that moves through delicate textures, melodic fragments, and gradual shifts in atmosphere.The album opens with the concise title track, “feedback memory,” followed by “suspended in the lilt of desire” and “sursum corda.” “glittered in thaw” offers a brief, shimmering interlude before the album closes with the expansive “late fragment,” a 20-minute piece that gives the record its longest stretch of open-ended space.r beny is the ambient …
*40 copies limited edition* Recorded and mastered by Wassily Bosch. Design and layout by NeNe. Thanks to Secret Place crew and everyone who came to listen.
The idea for this record was inspired by a short script I read about ten years ago. It stayed with me, and I found myself wondering what might have happened beyond the small window it provided. I liked the idea of creating a score for an imagined narrative beyond the script.Your farmers grant you certain freedoms not because they care about your liberties but because they want to increase their profits.
Since his 2013 debut album, Body Issues, Max Ravitz—better known to you and me as Patricia—has been zeroing in on the kernel of an idea. Across seven albums for labels like Opal Tapes, Spectral Sound/Ghostly International, and Acid Test, he’s applied his hand to a lean, focused vision of electronic music, paring away excess to lavish attention on carefully sculpted acid lines, stealthy drum programming, and warmly emotive melodies. For all their restraint, though, his tracks could never be calle…
This album Mere Mortals is composer-producer Floating Points’s (Sam Shepherd) first full-length ballet score. Shepherd, who is known for mesmeric live sets that often combine acoustic and electronic instruments, wrote the work in response to a commission from Tamara Rojo, Artistic Director of San Francisco Ballet.
Inspired by the myth of Pandora and laced with metatextual poetry, Mere Mortals was premiered at San Francisco’s War Memorial Opera House in January 2024, directed by Rojo, with chor…
Recomposed by Carl Craig & Moritz von Oswald is an extraordinary album that combines classical music and electronic sound art in a fascinating way. The two electronic music pioneers draw on recordings of Ravel’s Boléro and Rhapsodie espagnole, as well as Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition, conducted by Herbert von Karajan and performed by the Berlin Philharmonic, and use them to create an original, cohesive musical work.
In doing so, Craig and von Oswald do not simply juxtapose classical and…
The album Friendship Survival Guide by the late Icelandic composer Jóhann Jóhannsson and his close friend and composer Adam Wiltzie features a number of collaborative orchestral psychedelic drone compositions.
Wiltzie, co-founder of the now-legendary drone duo Stars of the Lid, and Jóhannsson, the award-winning composer and orchestrator, shared a decade-long friendship and creative partnership, writing, performing and recording together prior to the latter’s tragic passing in 2018. Friendship Su…
