Haunted, Non/Haunted
The Doberman crew has been relentlessly touring the U.S. for years now, existing as a traveling band of frequent collaborators and changing lineups, consisting of often radically different artists across many different states, that has resulted in a sonic path and sound unique all to their own. After dozens of recordings on Easy Listening (Green), Mastermind (Denmark), I Dischi Del Barone (Sweden), No Rent Records, and countless self released CD-Rs and tapes, this LP marks a dark and twisted tu…
Sssseegmmeentss Frrooom Baaari
Stochastic music for percussion and synthesizers from New York avant conceptualist and keyboardist Charlemagne Palestine, here on voice, piano & electronics, with the Italian duo Trrmà a multifaceted project formed by Giovanni Todisco (percussion) and Giuseppe Candiano (synthetizers) in two side-long works of irregular rhythm, complexity and dissonance that build and recede in a suspenseful journey. Recorded in 2018.
Radio Music Extended (Based on John Cage's Radio Music)
The composition Radio Music Extended, performed by Opening Performance Orchestra, draws upon the concept John Cage brought to bear in his piece Radio Music from 1956. In collaboration with the Tesla Museum in Trest, whose collections include unique exhibits of radio electronic and audio-visual devices, the 72-minute piece Radio Music Extended came into being during a private live performance in July 2018. The seven members of Opening Performance Orchestra and two alternating guests operated 13 h…
Everything Starts
Since the early 90's, the Belgian duo Silk Saw has pioneered nearly unclassifiable electronic music at the forefront of experimental and avant-garde.
Their 12th album is a contiguous expansion of the universe created in 'Imaginary Landscapes', the previous album published on Kotä in 2015, blending sweet and bitter in languorous and enigmatic melodies that float on intriguing polyrhythms. With the release of 'Nothing is Finished' on Sub Rosa, Marc Medea and Gabriel Séverin are back home, since th…

Cross the Desert
**200 copies** Looking for the desert, awaiting abandonment, marrying detachment: essential steps for those who ardently want new dawns and new lands to get lost in. First of all losing the common coordinates, the secure footholds, the consolidated certainties, forgetting scores, borders and judgments. A laying down, on the one hand, of the external conventions in order to make room and give light to the unexpected, to what pulsates underground, unheard. On the other hand, a putting aside of one…
When Only Shades Remain
Andrea Marutti (Amon and Never Known, among others) and Giuseppe Verticchio (Nimh) have teamed up again for this new Hall of Mirrors monumental release. Textural, noisy, profound dark ambient with some pretty 'melodic' patterns hidden behind layered noises and evolving drones. Astonishing, to say the least.
Altered Nights
Third CD from the acclaimed collaboration between Andrea Marutti (Amon, Never Known, among others) and Giuseppe Verticchio (Nimh). Spread out over two CDs and totaling over 100 minutes, there's a lot to absorb here; organic, textural ambience that's murky and abstract, uncurling like tendrils of smoke before coalescing into a simulacrum of shadowy figures, to turbulent, more immersive post industrial sounds that prowl the depths of subterranean caverns and forgotten, still radioactive ruins. Fea…
Forgotten Realm
Second chapter in the Hall of Mirrors saga, a project that hides the fervid minds of Giuseppe Verticchio/Nimh and Andrea Marutti/Amon. Another long and fascinating journey among the ruins of lost and ancient civilizations, among desolate landscapes forgotten by time.
Reflections on Black
Hall of Mirrors is a new musical project formed by Giuseppe Verticchio (Nimh) and Andrea Marutti (Amon). The music is in the similar vein to the respective works of these two Italian artists. Consequently it provides a handful of dense, droney, shimmering electronic sequences that dissipate into distortion and black noises.
Tape from Oort Cloud
Tip! **200 copies** Sedimental is honored to partner with Skell to release the latest majestic work from Mike Griffin’s Parashi: Tape from Oort Cloud. Griffin has honed an aesthetic that few are capable of attaining let alone comprehending: elegence and refinement fused to intense, sonic, noise-based electronics and sound sources. Over the two sides and four tracks Griffin conjures complex, heavy and nuanced terrain that triggers buried images and emotions without being emotional and that acts a…
Etudes From a Starship
Voin Oruwu is a project driven by Ukrainian artist Dmitriy Avksentiev. Etudes From a Starship is his second album and has been inspired by astral themes. The album invites the listener to join a fantasy universe created by the simple power of music. This music is clearly ambient - and cinematic - but also dark and mysterious. The tracks are diversified and sometimes feature surprising passages such as Decay Instability for its furious bass line sequence and Acid Clavi 2110, which sounds as being…
Eleven Minarets
**300 copies** Previously released as part of Arab Quarter by Soleilmoon back in 1996, 11 Minarets, is a focused exploration on one theme which allowed Bryn Jones to push the boundaries of his music deep into new areas. As on his other albums released at around the same time, the volume is pushed to the limit. With this album, Muslimgauze continued to define his own genre, and without a doubt there simply were no imitators, wannabes or pretenders. The artwork for this album contains elements of …
Oksastus
**300 copies** Ukrainian label Kvitnu has the honour of releasing these two musicians’ new album. Oksastus, which is the Finnish word for the process of grafting and cultivating plants, provides potential listeners with an unmistakably Pan Sonic live performance recorded in Kyiv on June 6, 2009. It consists of eight tracks perfectly mastered by C-drík Fermont, which allow listeners to re-taste the greatness of these masters’ gigs and their unique electronic craft, and offer a perfect picture of …
Salaam Alekum, Bastard
**CD version, 300 copies** Issued on Ukraine-via-Berlin label Kvitnu, for whom the release has an extra political resonance - outlined below - Salaam Alekum, Bastard is a prime example of Bryn Jones aka Muslimgauze’s strongheld political worldview, near-wordlessly wrapped up in billowing nocturnal desert-scape pads and some of his most hypnotic, serpentine percussion. Check for intoxicating highlights in the swingeing syncopation of the title tune, the ravishing ambient dubbing of Hebron Massacr…
Syntetisaattori Musiikkia Kuopiosta
**500 copies** Syntetisaattori Musiikkia Kuopiosta is the second solo work of Ilpo Väisänen under his own name since 2001’s Asuma. 180g black vinyl record inlayed into high quality 5-color printed heavy cardboard envelope with additional golden hot foil pressing. Finnish experimental producer Ilpo Väisänen, formerly of the legendary duo Pan Sonic, made Syntetisaattori Musiikkia Kuopiosta as the second album he's crafted under his own name, after 2001's Mego-issued Asuma. (He also released a full…
Ephemeral
**White vinyl** Mingle keeps moving forward: right after Static and its apparent calm, Ephemeral, the brand new album, gets released. This marks Mingle's second effort on Kvitnu (part of a four-chapter series which includes Movements and Masks, both released on Tannen Records). The ingredients remain the same: an introspective and melancholic journey, winding through static minimalism, aggressive landscapes, refined harmonies and disturbing rhythms."Pure advanced psychedelic sound flow. A perfec…
Tretetam
Tip! **250 copies** "We discovered the experimental work of the late Letha Rodman Melchior through her husband Dan. Our first release was the amazing Mare Astrale LP (FTR 432LP, 2019), and we have now reissued 2009's Treteman as an LP. Tretetam was actually the operating handle Letha originally used for her sound collages. And this music was first issued on CDR as Tretetam's eponymous debut for the Finnish Ikuisuus label. A few other releases appeared under this soubriquet before she began using…
Amplified Discovery
Two intense tracks from New York based noise artist, sonic multitasks master and festival organiser (the famous Ende Tymes every year in NYC, as well as working for years at Issue Project Room). Bob Bellerue creates living visceral sonic organisms with feedback and amplification in specific resonant spaces, using electronics, voices or even Supercollider, resulting in massive wild evolving and mutating drones into outbursts of noise deflagrations - a tension between hellish tellurism and multidi…
A Single Point of Light
**Limited Edition of 150 copies on pink vinyl** "A Single Point of Light is Ben Shemie’s second solo LP and the follow up to A Skeleton, which was released with Hands in the Dark in early 2019. While the frontman of Canadian band Suuns gave us a cold, experimental sort of pop with his first album, centered around the idea of a genderless, raceless character, this record focuses on the perception of light, both figuratively and literally. The way it is created, moves and breaks apart, how we can …
