**300 copies** Soda Gong presents a razor sharp collection of rigorous and imaginative new music from Russian musician and producer Flaty. Generic Targz places Flaty's precipitously complex drum programming and keen ear for atmosphere and space at the forefront, offering up a dynamic array of techno, ambient, generative footwork, and other tougher to pigeonhole rhythmic experiments. It is a dizzying and cohesive document in which ethereal productions, such as Praaai wherein a bewitching vocal pa…
**330 copies** Umor Rex presents Eleven Pieces for Synthesizer, a collection of synth instrumentals by German composer Carl Oesterhelt. Oesterhelt has been recording a mixture of straddling kosmische and classical traditions for years on his own reel tape machine, overdubbing stacks of analogue gear to create a compelling body of work that brings fresh emotional depth and rhythmic experimentation to the syntax of the modern synthesizer. Born in Munich in 1968, Carl Oesterhelt has worked in a var…
**300 copies** Beacon Sound and Jacktone Records introduce a limited-edition joint vinyl release by Hugo R.A. Paris entitled Threaded Habitat. The new LP from Paris follows two of Jacktone's most popular releases: Mystique Youth (2015) and Horizons Beneath the Surface (2016), which appeared under his alias Lavender. The transition to the Hugo R.A. Paris moniker with this album marks a more personal shift in approach. Threaded Habitat combines ambient textures and techno rhythms to reflect tensio…
**300 copies** Heavy was originally produced five years ago and released in 2016 on tape via Lee Noble's seminal No Kings label. Now the work has been reissued on vinyl and remastered from the original tape rips by Rashad Backer, preserving the fragile and heavy hearted auditory sensibility found in the original work, while making one of Ekin Filʼs earliest and most personally endearing releases available to a new audience of listeners. "Around the ancient city of Istanbul, a defensive wall dati…
Harmograph is a project by and with Matteo Scaioli. He summarized his latest research on sound by building various electromechanical instruments, one of which he called the "Harmograph", which gives the name to his whole project. Harmograph is basically a gong remodeled with a unique sound. Scaioli blends the sound of the Harmograph with other self-made instruments including Melodon's Voice, Phonograph Tape, Dhin "Tan" Pathè, and finally his favorite synth: the Prophet 5. Matteo Scaioli - being …
***100 copies*** In the electroacoustic composition The Probability of an Encounter d'incise attempts to give physicality to electronic sounds, to capture their materiality as piece of cardboard moving - moving back and forth on itself, and moving relatively to microphones in a room. The loudspeaker as concrete manifestation is pushed to its functionning limits to reveal it as it breaths, vibrates, saturates, rattles in contact of other objects. The raw material made of electronic sounds created…
***50 copies*** First release by Valencian electronic experimental band Mecánica Clásica. Eight tracks of ambient experimentation with influences from Cluster to Craig Leon, from Carl Matthews or Michael Hoenig to Steve Hauschildt. A journey to the inner reaches of the sound modulation. Mastered by José Guerrero at Plataforma Continental. Chrome tapes recorded on high quality equipment by Envelope Structure.
With a sonic arsenal as comprehensive as Joakim Blattmann’s on Bird Helmet, it’s no surprise that a very particular - and abstract - atmosphere can be conjured so well. The prolific artist, whose body of work mostly consists of live performances and installations with physical music releases seeming to be a rarity, constructs a lush sound environment of avian-adjacent sonorities, from actual field recordings of birdsong to spectral electronics and manipulations that evoke wings and flight in a m…
Recorded Live at the Lion Noir festival, Montrouge, France, in June 2018. Before the invention of radio and electromagnetic wave theory, Thomas Watson spent time at night listening to the sounds “produced by the telephone” when no one was connected. Later we would learn that electricity travels through the air and that these sounds are natural radio waves heard through long power lines that act as an antenna. Long Waves Scan is born from the practice of listening to radio signals blindly. Nicola…
Driftmachine Plays Marien van Oers is a parallel physical output to the concert Massive Trance: Interpreted by Driftmachine, which was performed during the 2019 Minimal Music Festival in Amsterdam. The concert performed at Muziek Gebouw aan‘t IJ as well as the album, takes its cue from a cassette produced in 1983 by the Dutch experimental composer Marien van Oers (1955–2013). The original cassette states Van Oers’ following intentions: “The basic idea of the performance is experiencing a constan…
Another stunning extraction from the hallowed archive of late Serbian musician, Rex Ilusivii. Here the 'King of Illusion' demonstrates the art of burial and reveal over an expansive 23 minutes master mix. The date of the recording is unknown - it sounds like his mid / late 80s output, but we cannot be sure. One-sided LP with large hand embossed insert (folded) and additonal info card. Very limited and previously unreleased.
First time outing from two ardent explorers of peripheral sound tactics. Cylene is the first collaboration by François J. Bonnet (Kassel Jaeger) and Stephen O’Malley of Sunn O))). Laid bare we have a subtle and nuanced study of their individual practices forming a titanic whole. O’Malley’s guitar inscribes a void that patiently opens up a spacious universe for Bonnet to discreetly alter with perception re-orientating studio maneuvers. Cylene is infinitely rewarding for those that succumb to its …

Original motion picture soundtrack of a Blaise Harrison film. Since our first listening, we've been obsessed by the strange beauty of this small pop track that seems to be fallen on a dark hole. After having the chance to see the film before its screening at Cannes Festival' La Quinzaine des Réalisateurs, we decided to release this music. The LP comes in a beautiful gatefold sleeve designed by Coline Sunier and Charles Mazé. Since 2004 Èlg has drawn concentric sound spirals made of musical pipes…
**100 copies** Here comes the newest work by Fabio Orsi and his first ever 10" vinyl release, limited to only 100 copies. 25 minutes equally split in two tracks entitled Forse arrivi prima and Forse arrivi dopo that tell a story with sound in a peculiar way which is uniquely Fabio's own. A journey by train told by those waiting at the station. The wait. The amazement. The joy of meeting. Maybe you'll get there sooner... Maybe you'll get there later. Between Ambient and Berlin-style electronics, …
* 2LP, originally released on cassette by Industrial Records 1978.

All of the recordings were done in an attic 10 feet by 6, on a domestic reel to reel tape recorder. A number of the recordings here were part of those which made up the now legendary limited edition cassette released by the band in 1976. "The Cabs’ prescient volley of noisy recordings made i…
