Transcodex
*In process of stocking* Jac Berrocal, David Fenech and Vincent Epplay are back with a true gem of an album: Transcodex.

Jac Berrocal’s trumpet, richer than ever, plays over an ever-changing sonic landscape engineered by…
Selected Self-releases 2006-2007
The years 2006-2007 were an exceptionally prolific creative period for Will Long and Danielle Baquet-Long. A quick peek on Discogs tells us they self-released an astounding seventeen albums during that time. Those original discs are like gold dust and difficult/expensive to obtain. Thankfully we can now get ten of those, beautifully remastered by Stephan Mathieu for this collection. Celer's music is timeless and seems to dissolve time itself. A veritable feast of lush gently unravelling ambient …

間
*2022 stock. Limited edition of 100 copies.* Society, as we have constituted it, will have no place for me, has none to offer; but Nature, whose sweet rains fall on unjust and just alike, will have clefts in the rocks where I may hide, and secret valleys in whose silence I may keep undisturbed. —Oscar Wilde, De Profundis Love is the voice under all silences, The hope which has no opposite in fear; The strength so strong mere force is feebleness: The truth more first than sun more last than star —…
Stikhiya
*2022 stock. Limited edition of 100 copies.* “Having realised the errors in rational knowledge I found it easier to free myself from the temptation of futile theorizing” Leo Tolstoy (1880) I understand this phrase as an expression of Stikhiya, the word used by Russian poet Aleksandr Blok in early 20th century to describe the fundamental value of primitive immediacy. Contradictory to intellectualism and rationality, Stikhiya is emerging from organic holistic experiences, it is perceived as an unf…

Low Islands
*Edition of 100* ‘I call the place I am writing now the bay of broken things. In the February storms, spume wraiths climb the hundred-foot cliff to fight and fall like bitter rain in the moonlight upon the cabin roof. The earth shakes from the drum roll of the surf. I lie awake and watch through the window beyond my bed. There is no ticking in my brain; this is the elemental night of chaos. This is the sea chewing its million-year way into the heart of the continent. The caves beneath resound wi…
