Dance of the Aberrant
"Ominous whirling of a bullroare, demonic shrieks of wheeling swifts, the chug of a ghostly steam engine, regimented marching, harrowing intimations of the nightmares of history." The Wire
Slow Motion Summer
*120 copies limited edition.* A spell to slow down time, a drawing back of the veil between worlds, the way that a song also contains multitudes. Slow Motion Summer is a record fixated, both metaphorically and literally, on time. It draws on the way we experience time, weaving strands of recorded sound stretched and spun at a host of different speeds to both alter and extend our perception of the moment that's swirling around us. It's also a record obsessed with the secret world, with the infini…

Radiant Perception Beyond Sorrow
*80 copies limited edition.* Sítě is project of Jan Tomáš and his several collaborators (on this album Jan Kašpar and Tomáš Vondra) who went onto pilgrimage through hypnagogic valley, devoted minimalist landscapes and lost corners of furniture music.

Ever since then, Sítě has been mainly sendi…
BO
*120 copies limited edition.* "I'm on a jet ski. The river I'm on is dirty. Not like it was clean before, but there was some rain up north and now the mud got in the stream. Bunch of birds are hanging out on the piece of driftwood. The splash of dirty water from jet ski disturbs them from their limbo. They fly away, they squeal with displeasure. This river is all mine. Rain starts pouring. Jet ski is on full speed now, spitting the brown mud water out. Sound of a collapsing engine brings the jet…
Magnet Blues
*100 copies limited edition* "Magnet Blues" presents Zhu Wenbo and Zhu Songjie’s unique and utterly bizarre take on American blues, as if filtered through layered variations of darkness. Throughout the recording, we hear barely audible vocals, minimalist, smart, and subtle guitar work, and the folkish atmosphere of what sounds like distant train activity and dying radios. Instrumentation is notable here: Songjie uses the peculiar Casio EG-5 electric guitar, with a built-in cassette deck, while a…
Gravir / Canon
*100 copies limited edition* Jacques Puech is playing since is younger age the cabrette (a french small bagpipes), and the bal music associated to it. He is a core member of the La Nòvia collective who make links between traditional music from Center-France and experimental fields and work as well on collectings on an ethnographic basis in the Auvergne territory. Jacques also collaborates with La Tène, a band founded by Insub's Cyril Bondi and d'incise along hurdy-gurdy player Alexis Degrenier. …
Decomposition Study
Decomposition Study is a collaborative process. The instrument featured here is an arciorgano, a special microtonal organo di legno with two manually operated bellows and 36-key octaves across two manuals, constructed according to Nicola Vicentino’s designs from 1555. The notes of the music, written according to the rules of canonic contrapunto alla mente, are passed between two organists while four other musicians disrupt and amplify the organ’s airflow, acting similarly to cellular enzymes in …
Acceleration
The Insub Meta orchestra (IMO) is a large ensemble gathered around the experimental and electroacoustic practice.It was founded in 2010 by the Cyril Bondi and d’incise duo. It consists of about fifty permanent members that form the thirty international musicians present at each concert. Born from questionings on improvisation in a large group, the IMO built with time a strong collective and typical background where the individual gesture get lost in the production of global sonic states. Thus su…
Altars
*2023 stock*
A cycle of primitive and ethereal.Building monoliths as Altars. A Hearth.The main centre of these pieces are weathered landscapes, crumbling rocks, erosion eating away at stones, chaos of overgrowth, the deep time of constant crumbling and occlusion. Passage of storms, rebuilding of momentum, weathered souls.A cyclical altar, an eroded homecoming.A lyrical desolation.
From the artist:
"The narrative of the entire record is loosely based on the concept of deep time, a temporal scale …
Un été sans fin
*100 copies limited edition* Perpetual pendulum swings, cyclical and reappearing, same-same but expediting, eternal summer, scorched earth.

Music for Sixth-tone Harmonium
Composers Fredrik Rasten and Ian Mikyska present new compositions for Alois Hába’s unique sixth-tone harmonium, performed by Miroslav Beinhauer, who has single-handedly revived the instrument after decades of slumber. Alois Hába, Czech composer and pioneer of microtonal music, commissioned a number of microtonal instruments in the 1920s and '30s, including the sixth-tone harmonium, two of which were built. Hába himself wrote only one solo piece for this instrument, and also included a part for i…
Journey Through Underworlds
The classic, genre-defining 1993 album from Lull - the pioneering, isolationist dark ambient project of Mick Harris of Scorn, Fret, ex-Napalm Death - is a dark journey through the Stygian netherworlds of Hell. The listener is left with the impression of a final escape into reality; a return upon waking, with only wispy trace memories and the heavy rush of blood-pumping fear as a keepsake. With this album, we are plunged back into a dark pit of noise - all escape barred, all hope dashed. The nigh…
Inauspicious
*200 copies limited edition* In a recent interview, the california artist Jim Haynes was asked to name his top five noise albums. In quick fashion, he listed Off Kill the King, Send, Desnos, Persona, and Carcinosi. Since then, he's equivocated on which albums to choose, but the artists behind such works remain as the adjacent signposts and landmarks to his own constructions of industrial noise. How those records connect to the output from haynes is found in their unique combination of smoldering…
India Vibrations (Revisited)
Tomáš Niesner has been making a name for himself in recent years by way of his solo ambient/drone excursions and the intricate melodicism of his collaborations with Jakub Šimanský. But it was “India Vibrations,” a digital self-release of lo-fi manipulated field recordings captured during a trip across North India, that really caught my ear: the cacophony of street festivals juxtaposed with the solemnity of houses of worship, all recorded on an “obsolete cellphone” and then looped and layered, ab…
Polarlys
Musica Per Immagini is about to go beyond vinyl reissues of soundtracks and music libraries, with a brand new series of products.From 2024 onwards, it will release a series of albums of contemporary and electronic music often "inspired by" different sources, both sonic, if not literary and cinematographic. A way to embrace the future without forgetting the past. Heinrich Dressel's “Polarlys” is the first album of unreleased tracks published by Musica Per Immagini, or a soundtrack for a imaginary…
Imerro
Canadian bowed guitarist and multi-instrumentalist C. Diab announces his fifth album Imerro, out February 16th, and presents the trip-infused lead single 'Lunar Barge'.
Dorothea
*2023 stock* Usual to a thousand and one shindigs in the most exploratory field of music, Àlex Reviriego has left his usual double bass and has delved into the possibilities of the acoustic guitar. The shadows of feedback generate ghosts that in turn are spirits. The image of Dorothea of Cappadocia also has its shadows. Is it really her or Saint Lucia whom Giacomo Gestaro wanted to paint? Tiago Pina, responsible for the design of the k7, has ended up adding a new shadow to the image.
Everything I Love Has Fallen From Me
"The Oakland bandʼs darkly psychedelic country-folk suggests things on the verge of collapse… appealingly overwrought, its sweetness curdling into menace like Twin Peaks gone spaghetti western..." - Pitchfork
Visitation
An atmospheric journey through psychedelic, gothic, and ambient motifs on this new instrumental album from Eric Angelo Bessel (half of Lore City).
