Music from Organ
On his new EP ‘Music from Organ’, producer and live musician Giulio Aldinucci offers up four tracks of layered and meticulously-crafted ambience. In his own words: “The EP explores the interaction between the pipe organ and the sound environment, in terms of architectural space and soundscape.

Gyropedie
“Gyropedie,” Anne Guthrie’s third record for Students of Decay, takes us further into her hermetic practice, wherein expertly captured field recordings, French horn, and electronics are woven into potent and richly imagined electroacoustic environments. In Guthrie’s own words, “Quite literally a record of pilgrimage from East to West. Remnants of Midwest and East Coast soundmarks, instruments sold to lighten the travel load, sketched out and then buried under the new. Winter birds and crunching …
Passed Beyond
Kevin Eden’s story is a familiar one of an artist whose work sadly didn’t received acclaim in their own time, but scratch a little deeper and it soon becomes apparent that his personalised, overlooked oeuvre braids various, vital strands of punk and ambient history since the late ‘70s. ‘Passed Beyond’ offers a perfect portal into his personalised soundworld, spanning beautifully eerie post-punk as 41 Degrees, thru to his liminal experiments with synths, tape and textured percussion as KS Eden. I…

Kagiroi
** Edition of 300 ** I met Sugai Ken a few years ago in Tokyo, outside the Dommune radio studios. His personality and music, a very special brand, touched me. His music is a coded vision of a dream world. A trade that is progressive yet traditional - in the most positive sense of the word. Recently out of the blue, Sugai San sent me a collection of personal field recordings he made of folklore groups and public performances in Tokyo, Toyama, Kanagawa, Kyoto, Tottori, … The close listener already…
Two Views of Amami Ōshima
**Edition of 300** In 1958 the painter Isson Tanaka (°22 July 1908 –*11 September 1977) moved to Amami Ōshima, an island in the Ryukyus.

The Lone Visitor), shifts between the texture and materiality of Tanaka’s painti…
