The Sundowner Sessions
Not previously released on vinyl. Originally recorded in Seattle, in 2000 and released on CD only later the same year The Sundowner Sessions is a recording featuring John Massoni (electronics) and Sonic Boom (custom human voice synthesizer). "[Sonic} can make something out of almost anything. He'd just pick out a tape of mine (I have a bunch of tapes with sound and drone experiments), and work something into a piece. His focus and ability not to be undermined by the limits surrounding him is rea…
Beaubourg
* Aquamarine coloured vinyl * Beaubourg is an expressionistic work, consisting almost exclusively of strange, unearthly sounds. Ring modulators, noise, and weird effects are unleashed in wide stereo spaces. The album is often referred to as anti-commercial, because of its non-melodic - even consonant - nature. Vangelis however spoke with great affection about this piece in several interviews and his engineer says Vangelis took it very seriously while recording it. "Beaubourg" takes its title fro…

Aperio!
* 180 gram Vinyl * The title of Miki Yui’s seventh solo album “Aperio!” is derived from the latin origin of April, "aperire" meaning “to open” or “to reveal”. Hinting at the way her music unveils another reality which is hidden beneath the surface. The title also reflects the aperiodic character of the music, its irregularity. Like a magic word to reveal the mysterious cosmos, each song opens up another intimate world of wonders."All my work emerges from my physical experience, the inspiration o…
Preparing For Power
Mannequin and Platform 23 Records reissue what is considered to many the most complete album by perennial anarcho-outsiders Bourbonese Qualk. The last recorded album at their South London squat, The Ambulance Station on the Old Kent Road, and again released on their own Recloose Organisation, saw the band develop further beyond the limits of the post-punk / industrial scene where genres increasingly became redundant.
Ethno, jazz, funk and EBM are all buried deep in the album as it seeks independ…

A vibrant collection of cinematic pieces that drape tapestries of FM synthesis and percussion around serpentine bass lines, the album unfolds like a rapturous dream. Hushed laments, ecstatic rhythms, and hypno…
The Oblivion's Wordless Knot

CD + Booklet * CD self-released by Haarvöl with music created for the commissioned audio/visual work "The Oblivion's Wordless Knot" for The Family Film Project in Porto, November 2017. Comes with photo booklet in lovely 6 panel artwork. The media times of our self-absorved present seek instantaneity. A time that cancels time. Times that affirm forgetfulness as the necessary matrix for the perpetuation of the present. A present time that makes a continuous act of presence.
The w…
Warschauer Straße
* Edition of 300 * The two compositions on Warschauer Straße are inspired by a first visit to Berlin. The titles of the album and the two works might not seem to be very common or memorable places in Berlin to refer to, though for me personally they mean a lot. After the first visit in begin 2016 I went back several times and had some really good moments which still come back to memory regularly. Be it sitting in Mauerpark, walking up the stairs of Siegessäule, eating chocolate in front of Franz…
Somniatores
* Edition of 100 in A5 sized folder. * Somniātōrēs is is the second album I recorded about sleep. This is a follow up to the album Music for Thái Ngọc which was released in October 2016. For this album I reworked several pieces from the "Sæti" EP and the album "Suppressing an unpleasant feeling..." album as one new recording. While still being recognizable the sound has become even more dreamy and warmer, and there is more room for long sustained drone sounds.
Already for a long time I wanted to…
Worn Tape

Due to the various subtle sounds the album is a captivating work that stands out in a world where bombast …
Paranon
* 2020 Stock. Edition of 200 in A5 artwork. * Paranon consists of two compositions based on parameter canons of sine wave generators. The canon is a counterpoint-based compositional technique that creates one or more imitations of a musical movement after a given duration. These imitations replicate the initial movement with transformations of parameters. The custom programmed sine wave generators Zeno van den Broek uses on Paranon make it possible to generate interference, shift phases and alte…
Dedans / Dehors
* 2020 Stock. Edition of 200. * As with Luc Ferrari, it is an assemblage of recorded sequences in which we recognize a succession of various events and we reconstruct in our imaginary a possible narrative that may have been at the origin of these sounds. This is not the sound landscape (Soundscape or Field recording) whose neutrality of the author must be one of the characteristics. It is not reportage. Above all, it involves the assembly, by montage and superposition, of sounds of different ori…
Paintings
* 2020 Stock. Edition of 300. * Paintings, after Sketches (Magnetic Purely) and Drawings (Invisible City Recordings), represents the last work in a trilogy marking the re-emergence of Philipp Bückle as a musician. After burying the Teamforest project at the end of the noughties Philipp didn't much feel like creating music for some years, at least not on his own. Instead he concentrated on a more visual approach to expression. But in 2014, during a hot summer in Copenhagen, a birth and long wande…
Nobody Ever Escaped From There
* 2020 Stock. Edition of 200. * With "Nobody Ever Escaped From There" Ilia Belorukov returns with the follow up album to “There Was Hardly Anybody There” (Spina!Rec, 2016). Again he returns to electro-acoustic studio works, stepping outside his customary world of improvised saxophone. In the new works for this album an important role is taken by the vintage electronic instrument “Evgeniy Sholpo’s variophone” (constructed by Boris Shershenkov). The variophone is a photo-electrical instrument for …
Ridge Of Humming Spoils
* CD limited to 200 in A5 sleeve * Psychoanalysis refers to the frontier as an empty signifier: it embodies an interior and an exterior. The last album of the trilogy we set out to puts us there. On top of a vast set of remains whispering to us. Remains, because they have been left behind, because they are no longer useful. And yet, usefulness is something that tells little or nothing to us, artists. Quite the opposite. For this very reason, this new album is made up of these testimonies that wh…
Various Weights
In sound art, concepts often take precedence over the actual music. Here, there were none. For their first collaboration, Frans de Waard and Martijn Comes decided on a strikingly simple approach: Each artist compiled a pool of sounds for the other to use as a point of departure. Comes worked with various analog synth- and field recordings by de Waard (including, among others, a Korg MS20 and Koma Field FX). The latter was sent a processed stylophone recording, a sample loop as well as recordings…
