Terra Morfi
The peace-loving Morfi folk live in a huge forest and build large clay giants out of magical clay. When a giant is ready, it wakes up and takes off to help smaller creatures around the endless forest. The Morfi like to celebrate and parties are thrown often. The Morfi have two mouths and two noses. One mouth is for communication and the other for singing. Why two noses, nobody knows...
Terra Morfi is a soundtrack of the strange lives of these creatures. It is an album of psychedelic fairytale mu…
Dream Soundies
New upcoming collaboration album for Vanessa Rossetto and Moniek Darge on Erstwhile Records.
Were Some Sound Days, One Separately Be Placed
*2023 stock. 200 copies limited edition* The recordings were made during January 16th to February 27th, 2022. Recording gear included a cassette tape recorder, a cardioid dynamic microphone and a cassette tape. After some operations, the recorder’s eraser function was temporarily removed so that the sound could be recorded overlapping again and again.
During these days, Zhao Cong and Zhu Wenbo did recordings every day. Every time they chose a random place on tape and recorded a very short length…
Räkna evighet som intet
*300 copies limited edition* “Räkna evighet som intet” is an electroacoustic composition in two movements and as much an incantation as it is a process of mourning embodied in an aesthetic structure. Throughout the piece Enocksson weaves taut strings, tense static and veils of feedback with fragmented voices, all the while extracting verses from acclaimed Swedish poet Lotta Lotass into emotional chorales on the impermanence of life. Merging the geist of Enocksson’s prior work – the industrial do…
For Franz
*150 copies limited edition* "It starts very simply. March 1988. The birth of an elephant. Basically, not exactly. Hair and teeth, we were told, it’s like that, it happens more often than you think. He was hungry and he was dirty. There he sucks the vacuum cleaner. We couldn’t stop laughing ! There he purrs. Time flies so fast and he has grown. «Aggression, like love», he used to say, «is first projected onto an individual who then introject them». In the introjective phases, identification with…
F(r)icciones
“F(r)icciones is a complicated piece of miscellaneous works. A set of experiments in preparation for a gig at a noise convention in Orozco that never happened, an 18 women choir piece composed for a soundtrack to a documentary that doesn’t have a release date yet or trying to create a drone piece by accumulating guitar noise. The result? Burnt psychedelic blues with electronics.
Partly an official soundtrack to “Durangas”, a documentary focusing on women and heritage, discussing civil war, edu…
ithyphall.brel.gory is not like you
Murmurists is a group of artists which convenes periodically to perform large-scale multi-media events using texts and graphic-scores composed and directed by Anthony Donovan. This CD, recorded over a significant span of time, draws upon such live and studio performances, channelling these years of diverse activity into a brand new work. Call it music theatre, sound design, documentary – as you will.
I like slow work. This is the third, and I think concluding, iteration in album form of an inten…

Where Tremble Heart
Tip! *2023 stock* "Where Tremble Heart is an album of distances. Distances crossed and uncrossed. Entanglements time-traveled. Embodied and speculated spaces. Letters cast and undone. John and I met in Tucson, Arizona in late summer 2019, and quickly developed a highly collaborative friendship. While we didn’t meet until our late 30s, a humorous and provoking caveat is that John and I spent our early youth in small, farming towns in western Kansas, less than an hour away from each other. Distanc…
Hand Signals
*2023 stock* Since reactivating in the wake of the essential 2009 archival BUFMS box set, 'Induced Musical Spasticity', Bren't Lewiis Ensemble have released more than 40 titles of the finest avant ear wonk around. Much of this activity has proceeded with relatively little fanfare. Perhaps the number of releases is intimidating to some, or maybe well-adjusted society simply has little need for (in their own words) "screeches, recitations, injured vocalizations, inexplicable flurries of bleeps, bl…
Potential
Musician, writer and filmmaker, Sunik Kim follows up ‘The Bent Bow Must Wait to Be Released’ (Takuroku 2021) with their second LP - a deadly serious dismantling of the limits of contemporary computer music, delivered with playful dexterity and a touch of slapstick humour, a la Henry Cow. Enlisting General MIDI to create frenetic, vital patterns of dis-organisation made up of gleeful synthetic trumpets, wry orchestral sweeps and brutal key clusters, Sunik Kim explodes a kind of simplistic sound i…
In Pieces - Volume One
*2023 stock . 300 copies limited edition* It's a gathering place of Taumel's collaborative productions and musical encounters with other musicians. In pieces - volume one (Taumel -Eensemble Adapter) in several sessions with the 'Ensemble Adapter'. Recordings were made and combined with additionally produced material. The line-up: voice, piano, drums, keyboards, synthesizer sampler, percussion, guitars, bass, harp, flutes, clarinets, typewriter, loop machine, fx's, banjo, lyre, tape players.
Peanuts
*2023 stock* "Peanuts" is a mixture of location recordings and percussion, and can be seen as a continuation of the music Jazkamer explored on the albums "Timex" (2000) and "Pancakes" (2002); carefully construced transparent sound-surfaces. One track also features turntable surface crackle, which could bring the listener's thoughts back to the "Turntable Surface Fireball" LP (2001). Although "Peanuts" is not a noise record, it could hardly be called ambient music. It might work well as backgroun…
Mountain Diary
*60 copies limited edition* Not to be confused with the sometimes Captain Beefheart clarinetist of the same name, this particular Mascara Snake makes instrumental and atmospheric sound collages, influenced especially by Moondog, Penguin Cafe Orchestra and Luc Ferrari. As the snake sheds its skin Pacôme Genty reveals himself, who you might remember from the just as enigmatic La Non-pareille lp he released last year with his duo Des édens (together with Antoine Cortes).
Performances
A follow-up to the duo's LP, CCTK Music (2021, Gilgongo Records), Performances features three sets from James Fella and Gabriella Isaac, from Gilgongo Records' 15th Year Anniversary celebration in Phoenix, AZ -- December 2019. Like the event, the record starts with a recreation of the second side of CCTK Music, using six reference lacquers of CCTK's A-side as source material to make a live collage. Following this are solo sets from Isaac (using her laptop as a feedback loop/sound source/physical…
Through Mazes Running
Edition of 100. Crystal-clear vinyl. Tip-on jacket. The second collaborative album by Drew Daniel (Matmos, The Soft Pink Truth) and John Wiese (Sissy Spacek), "Through Mazes Running" builds turbulent complexity from a real time cage match of no-holds-barred signal processing. Cross-multiplying tape manipulation and software, each processing the other into a writhing feedback loop, creating a volatile ouroboros of sound. Cut at 45 RPM for maximum fidelity.
Take Root
Ultra-limited edition of 105 copies. This material has been substantially reworked from the original digital version. The vinyl (not lathe) sounds simply incredible, with hyper-crisp fidelity and intimidating bass response. This edition also comes with a Venus Flytrap seed for you to grow (grow instructions included in the liner notes). This release will bring years of enjoyment!
Recorded at Solid State Electronics Laboratory Studio, ChicagoSeptember 2019-2020All material re-worked 2022

Fantasy Sex + Neuter
This special bundle collects the recent releseas on Discreet Music and its archival arm, Fördämning Arkiv:
Fantasy Sex "Fantasy Sex" (LP)* Limited LP. Two-sided insert with liner notes by Matthias Andersson. Mastered by Lasse Marhaug * Utmarken was a combined venue, record shop and recording space in Gothenburg that existed between 2008 and 2011. A short-lived under the radar hub for outsider art and fringe music, the place quickly became an oasis for an wide variety of local misfits and a hotbe…
Camouflage Body
Initially only available during John Wiese's 2022 North American tour, the latest entry in his ever-expanding catalog of 7"s is now available in wider release.
Vipera Nido Di
Tip! "Vipera Nido Di" is the third solo release by Cristiano Carosi recorded during 2021/2022. For this album he uses synthesizers, prepared tapes, tape loops and analog effects manipulating the sound events into tiles of a combinatory game generating temporary space and language. The album follows a sound collage method where the acoustic objects are coceived and developed like a plastic medium mixing abstract, geometry and surreal portrait.
