Reelizations 1
2024 stock. This 1980 recording explores combinations of acoustic instruments and recording technologies. The increasing cost of large ensembles performing new works led composers to experiment with inexpensive alternatives. Barton Smith creates his own orchestra mixing recordings and acoustic instruments with everyday items such as swivel chairs and glass bottles. Liner notes include descriptions of how each track was composed, the composer's biographical information, and suggestions for how ea…
Météorismes
Ramuntcho Matta offers us a new vision of his music and, by extension, of his world. Time for oneself and for others. Of the raw and the real. Most of the tracks were recorded with a dictaphone, so as to stay as close to the music as possible. It's a return to basics and simplicity that reveals a voice that is both dense and sub-tile, husky and sensual. Ramuntcho Matta keeps his finger on the pulse, the instant, the present.
Adopting the technique of the Japanese painters - observing before cr…
D-Generation Magazine

This is a limited run magazine/book, it is sure to quickly become a collector’s item.

Carl Abrahamsson talks about his time with…
Datu
*2024 stock* “‘Datu’ is the name given to the ruling head of a clan or tribe during ancient, pre-colonial times of the Philippines. Colonization, cultural amnesia, and the reshaping of Philippine culture throughout generations have me and countless others almost completely disconnected from our roots. With no knowledge of what stories exist in the physical reality of my bloodline, the concept behind this album is my way of reconnecting with my ancestry in the spiritual realm of the creative flow…
Hjirok
Hjirok is a mythical figure, conceived as a fictional character by Iranian-born Kurdish singer and artist Hani Mojahedy. Together with versatile music producer Andy Toma of Mouse On Mars, she combined a variety of sounds collected during their joint travels to Iraqi Kurdistan and elsewhere with heavily processed recordings of Sufi drum rhythms and setar melodies. The result is a driving, dubbed-out, and deeply intricate soundscape that perfectly sets the stage for Mojahedy's extended, unconventi…

Point Of Entry
Melody As Truth founder Jonny Nash returns to action with his first solo album in four years.
Hiraeth And Limerence
Horn of Plenty is proud to present the first full-length vinyl release from one of NZ/Aotearoa’s best kept secrets, William Henry Meung. Although musically active for the last couple of decades, Meung only recently began releasing his work via a clutch of CD-R’s, lathes & tapes. Hiraeth and Limerence, the first in a series of four LP’s, was recorded to phone and tape in Dunedin between 2016-2019 as a particularly turbulent period in William’s life drew to a close. Hiraeth - a yearning for that w…
Turchesi Miracolosi
*2023 stock. 200 copies limited edition* The Pond: voice based music. Collaboration between vocalist Elisabetta Lanfredini and electroacoustic composer/performer Nicolas Wiese. An unfolding narrative, continuous, elusive. A flaring up and fading, a door opening and closing, ears left to listen through the keyhole. Flashbacks of old traditions, the sound of a language that does not exist. Literary figures materialise in sound before disappearing just as quickly – none of them ever becoming the ce…
When The Frog From The Well Sees The Ocean (Reports From English UFOlklore)
200 copies limited edition "This latest collection from Folklore Tapes borrows its title from a Japanese proverb about knowing one's limitations ("the frog in the well knows nothing of the sea"), which was itself borrowed from a Chinese fable. In the context of an album devoted to UFO lore, of course, humans are the frogs, the infinite universe is the ocean, and the usual eclectic Folklore Tapes cast of characters gleefully devote themselves to celebrating the colorful hoaxes and stories of thei…
Mares
As a member of Ghent’s experimental music scene, over the past two decades Annelies Monseré has slowly refined a singular approach to musicality, moving from the sparse, instrumental piano works from that defined her early career, toward increasingly complex arrangements of instrumentation that offer a central place to her own voice, issued by noteworthy imprints such as Morc Tapes, Stroom, and three:four. Like her work within the widely celebrated ensemble, Luster, as well as Distels, her duo w…
Gymnasieåren
Tip! Debut album from 18-year old Discreet Music hangaround Andre. Home recorded brilliance mainly based on guitar and occasional synthesizers with a sparse use of environmental recordings. The A-side was recorded in September and October 2022 and is a majestic collage of introspective bummed out music with gloomy drones and almost sacral-sounding segments, in atmosphere close to some of the more melancholic chunks of the past FFFM discography. Recorded in December the same year, the flipside is…
Minerals
With the trio all hailing from the Pennine moorlands just above the manc sprawl, Jon Collin & Demdike Stare’s shared musical expression understandably reflects a parallax purview that follows leylines between lusher nooks of the inner city and windswept, barren landscapes. Never ones to play it straight, the Swedish Nyckelharpa - a sort of hybrid viola/hurdy gurdy - is deployed deep into a mix of oblique soundscaping, seeping into a swirl of field recordings, screwed spoken word and phosphoresce…
The Pruttipal Index
What is - or rather: what could be - a "Pruttipal Index"? In books, libraries and databases, an index is usually a concise overview or inventory. It suggests that this album could be a mini-encyclopedia of the work of its makers. In economics, indexes are measurements of the current state of an economy; which, in the case of this album, could be a vitality metrics of the Goodiepal & Pals/GP&PLS/BananSkole collective that produced it. In semiotics, an index is a sign that functions as a trace (li…
La Seuz
Arthur Chambry is a mysterious troubadour, walking the artistic crossroads of sound, poetry and theatre. Using a wide range of personalised gear to compose music, his is a viral energy: hiding and showing off behind the unexpected, playing gut-vibrating frequencies with violins, trumpets or lungs, fruits, pipes, or tapes. His new album La Seuz draws a map of a parallel world made of singing peasants, luthiers, communities of musicians and mystical quests... Arthur carves out a place between trad…
Fragments Of Nothing
Edition of 500 copies pressed on white vinyl * Demdike Stare’s immersive set of windswept, strung out blues made in collab with Jon Collin. First time on vinyl after a small run of tapes back in 2020, this is an evocative suite of low-lit sonic tapestries like some Coil x Ry Cooder collab that never was. Teasing out vintage, arcane threads of connection between deep-South porchside styles and their native industrial blooz, Demdike sound at their most red-eyed and pensive in this strung out, limi…
Inspirationsfestivalen
