Argot
The fourth full length album of Passepartout Duo and a deep investigation into how we communicate and collaborate with electronic devices, Argot is a reinterpretation of the synthesizer as an intelligent talking machine. Each track of the album features a kaleidoscopic mirroring of mystical electronic textures traced onto the surface of traditional acoustic instruments. The synthesizer’s voice is characterized by gestural sways of simple harmonies that evoke an ancient air, and a sense of timele…

L'Engoulevent
According to Wikipedia “Caprimulgidae are a family of birds consisting of around 95 extant species of nightjars." Digging a little deeper, we learn from Libération that "the word caprimulgidae comes from the Latin caprimulgus, literally meaning 'goat sucker.' In his famous Natural History, Buffon tells us that “peasants used to believe that the nightjar, a bird of twilight, entered barns at nightfall to suckle milk from livestock.” Originally, the nightjar was simply a bird, later transformed by…

KUM - Percorsi intrecciati con Franco Battiato
300 copies. Double LP, gatefold cover + inserts. After Juke Box (1977), between September 1978 and March 1979, the inseparable Giusto Pio and Franco Battiato committed to three pieces that should be interpreted as a single work since they both pursue and envision a sound that is independent of any form of language: Motore immobile, L’Egitto prima delle sabbie, and Rappel. Motore Immobile by Pio (completed in October 1978) was published only in 1979 to avoid interfering with the release/publicati…
Plant Music Vol.3 - The Golden Teachers
Experience the high strangeness of plant music—plants that “sing.” For years musician Nico Georis has used biofeedback instruments to connect a variety of flora to analog synthesizers, letting their biodata create music that is strange and existentially gorgeous. Nico’s work in plant music happened during a six year span, and was set in motion by a simple desire to find a fresh supply of long-form ambient music for relaxing to at home. After a chance encounter with an obscure technology dating b…
Dunstkreis
*100 copies limited edition* Label head Kobermann returns with a cast of local associates, mostly all new names to us, clustering a varied batch of styles / sounds that skirt round the very edge of the dance floor and bleeds out into the aether.

Sparring partners and regular ANF favourites…
