Die Erde und Ich Sind Eins - I Am One With the Earth
In a once in a lifetime occurrence, we’re thrilled to announce that we’ve been able to get our hands on a very limited number of original archive copies of “Die Erde und Ich Sind Eins - I Am One With the Earth”, the debut solo LP by legendary Popol Vuh founder Florian Fricke. An astounding gesture of large ensemble vocal Minimalism, privately issued as the lone release on Fricke’s own Lorck Publication München imprint in 1983, this marvel of deeply emotive and transcendent immersion into rich te…
A Bridge Over The Lagoon
Dean Brown is best known as Little Skull. A basement Florian Fricke, creating grainy chamber miniatures with the same latticework intricacy as the delicate handmade dioramas that serve as the covers of his records. He was (is?) also a member of Nova Scotia, purveyors of reed-heavy skree clouds - a band whose existence feels more like a rumor than a fact and one of the final acts on Peter Stapleton's Metonymic label.
Ben Spiers mostly performs solo and has produced a spartan architecture of lonel…
Smetana
Returning to the Czech Republic with a reissue of Richter Band’s first album, Smetana (Czech for ‘Cream’), released originally in 1990. Pavel Richter gained a considerable reputation as a guitarist, playing in a number of Czech avant-garde rock groups, including Švehlík, Marno Union and Elektrobus, and became one of foremost figures of the Prague scene which opposed the socialist regime of the 70’s and 80’s. Towards the mid 80’s, he began to focus on calm music and subtle sound structures, playi…
Little Skull
*200 copies limited edition* Aotearoan expat Dean Brown has been slowly growing the Little Skull catalogue for the last 21 years. His sound belongs to the Aotearoan underground tradition, folding in elements of portastudio rock, folk and noise. As well as HoP his works have appeared on Planam, Elica, Digital Regress and Anomalous. These two tracks find Little Skull staring into space with his toes in the sand as he conjures a tumble-down cosmic blues dusted with tape hiss and distortion. As usua…
Petals
"On Petals, the pair’s haunting folk music comes into sharper focus while broadening their sonic palette. Spoken word meets chanted incantations, gently fingerpicked acoustic guitar is placed alongside spindly piano melodies, the creak of floorboards in the background mirrors the creak of fingerprints dragged across guitar strings. Woven throughout are bursts of tape-recorded radio static that reveal hardly distinguishable voices while MacDougall sings of equally fleeting phenomena. Winds, breez…

Sprokkelhout
**Numbered edition of 25 copies only** Bart de Paepe has released several solo albums of psychedelic soggy murkiness on Vohu Manah, Beyond Beyond Is Beyond, Kerm whistling through the leaves and branches adjusting in/out of focus at random as we drift between reality and perception. Some of his resonance wood can be enjoyed in Ilta Hämärä (with Timo van Luijk), Wendingen 1918 (with Raymond Dijkstra), Bombay Lunatic Asylum (with Koen Vandenhoudt and Louise Landes Levi), Fort Bedmar (with Dave Col…
Taivaskanava
100 copies limited edition Finnish sound artist Juho Toivonen’s latest release, Taivaskanava, is an evocative exploration of sonic atmospheres and liminal spaces. Released on cassette by Grapefruit Records, this composition employs a sparse yet intimate palette—piano, acoustic guitar, tape loops, and ethereal vocals—to create a soundscape that feels at once deeply grounded in materiality and profoundly otherworldly. The title itself is rich with meaning, offering an interpretive framework throug…
Sacrosun
Ece Canlı's sophomore solo album Sacrosun is a non-linear series of maximalist meditations on interstellar anxieties. The composer, vocalist and researcher draws on her diverse artistic and academic backgrounds to craft an immersive sonic landscape that expands beyond the terrestrial limitations of her acclaimed 2020 debut Vox Flora, Vox Fauna. Where her first album dug into tellurian imaginaries inspired by the sonic variety of earthly creatures, Sacrosun expands this audio-vision out into a co…

Public Detail
*75 copies limited edition* Operating since the late 2010s, Vienna-based sound artist the concept horse has quietly amassed a distinctive and diverse discography, drawing inspiration from the rich traditions of musique concrète, noise, plunderphonics, microsound, and free improvisation. “Public Detail” follows releases on labels such as Falt and czaszka [rec.], as well as the artist’s own eë editions, and neatly encapsulates the polyglottic breadth of the project. Patinaed piano loops and wistfu…
Fanaticus
Fanaticus is the new full length album from Organ Of Corti, the trio of Dan Johansson (Sewer Election), Mattias Gustafsson (Altar of Flies), and Joachim Nordwall (iDEAL, The Skull Defekts). A significant evolution from 2022's Auris, also released on New Forces, Fanaticus blends tape loops and analog synths into a claustrophobic exhibition of tense and curious sound. Each of these seven tracks has a depth to it that demands repeated listening. Fanaticus deftly weaves together the subtle nuances o…
Outre-Nuit
Outre-nuit as Outre-noir by Pierre Soulages, the greatest nuances on subtle variations. The programme can be listened to in one go between Clara's two compositions, it's Xnoybis, an extraordinary performance by the great Giacinto Scelsi - a piece that makes you feel like you're listening for the first time - Giacinto Scelsi's Xnoybis (1964) is a journey amongst the reliefs contained within one single pitch. Written in three parts, the piece is an instinctive approach to the sound spectrum (the t…
Pointed Frequencies
Ben Kaczor and Niculin Barandun reveal their debut album on Dial Records, dedicated to the healing properties of sound. "Pointed Frequencies" contains six mesmerizing compositions. The collaboration between Niculin Barandun and Ben Kaczor started in 2022 with a carte blanche for an audiovisual show at Digital Art Festival Zurich. While working on the performance, a common understanding of sound aesthetics emerged and the foundation for the duo’s project was laid. At that time Ben Kaczor studied …
Dear Alien
Lili Holland-Fricke and Sean Rogan’s debut album “dear alien” is a constellation of radiant improvised impulses, imagined in lucent fragments of cello, guitar and voice. Spacious, tender and glistening with rich electronic distortion, the record melds a spectrum of processed and natural sound as the artists invite listeners into their dreamlike world of synergetic introspections. Cultivated through a shared spirit of resourcefulness and play, “dear alien” emerges as an organic meeting place in t…
Shelved Dreams (for a new Nubia)
100 copies limited edition Cortizona affiliate Mich L. debuts on Dauw with a new album titled Shelved Dreams (for a new Nubia). The Brussels based musician returns with 3 tracks where he invites his listeners to turn hearing into listening. Using only analog synths and equipment, Mich L. strokes the air of minimalism in a tensive hide and seek of frequencies. The gradual build up and disappearance of the latter form the basis of an introspective experience that challenges to accept a certain deg…
