Colonial Motels
*100 copies limited edition* Erica Dawn Lyle has been described by Pitchfork as a “punk hero,” which, though true, feels like an insufficiently specific term to describe her multifaceted presence and work. Colonial Motels is in fact rawly personal, a ladder out of an abyss of mourning as well as a determination to persevere and connect. Playing less but achieving more, this album captures the engaging intensity and directness that defines Lyle’s art, performance, and activism. Part I builds on p…

MID_EVIL
Improvisations recorded on the MID_EVIL album do not aspire to reconstruct the past. However, its ghost hauntingly looms over the whole project referring - if only by bone scraping sounds transmuting into the noise of prepared gramophone records - to sonic archaeology and the phantasms concerning the era of phonographic breakthrough. This material touches on issues concerning continuity in history and tradition, recording sounds and tones, as well as musical structures and practices.These are al…
The Telescopic Aulos of Atlas
Lukas de Clerck brings the telescopic aulos, which his new interpretation of long-form expression coaxed forth on this tremendous recording. Lukas de Clerck explores a niche of archaeological research in music; the aulos is a historical Greek instrument that Lukas analyzed and reinterpreted by a luthier in modern times—navigating this impression as an artwork or living sculptural object, as there is an absence of historical partitions or written information about how to recreate technique on the…
Pearls Ground Down To Powder

eKPYrotic
eKPYrotic is an improvised music duo formed by Mirco Ballabene on double bass and electronics, and Massimiliano Furia on percussion. The electronics, created with MaxMsp, could be defined as the third element, because it guides the path of the musicians who, in turn, determine its breathing and dynamics in real time through a midi foot controller managed by Mirco. This organic, living electronics often becomes indistinguishable from the sounds generated by musicians, acoustic sounds which, throu…
Rosenhagtorn
Isabell Gustafsson-Ny joins Warm Winters Ltd. with Rosenhagtorn, a suite of short pieces for piano, violin and voice. Absorbing in its profound focus on listening, this collection is a striking exploration of these sound sources; their repetitions, harmonics and oscillations. Conceiving of the release as a house, a different song is playing in each room, Gustafsson-Ny was able to explore the rawness and fragility of each instrument with incredible freedom and sensibility. She describes the album…
Transmissions Des Fluides
Tip! *200 copies limited edition* "Second Trick : name-dropping. Always useful and often expected, name-dropping provides referential anchors to the reader. It's like a hug. She/he no longer feels alone in the world. Others, like them, are imbued with influences that they sometines have to keep quiet about to their skeptical surroundigs. In our case, given the wicked monster generated, there is no need to seek external references for support, they're included in the package ! Ex : Smegma's hist…
July 15, 2022
The first LP by the Taj Mahal Travellers was recorded at Sogetsu Hall in Tokyo on July 15, 1972, which became the title of the work and was released the same year by CBS Sony Records. A live performance celebrating the 50th anniversary of this album was held on July 15, 2022. The only original members of the Taj Mahal Travellers who attended were myself and Seiji Nagai. This is because two of the six members passed away, two are religiously active and they can not play music according to their b…
