Consonant Dissonance – John C.S. Keston

You can listen preview of this album on this page. The album is available on streaming platforms and on our Bandcamp. Consonant Dissonance by John C.S. Keston Consonant Dissonance - John C.S. Keston Consonant Dissonance is a series of piano improvisations that examine how human expression in piano performance can be emphasized or contrasted by feeding the signals into a bespoke modular synthesizer designed to sample and reprocess the piano in real-time. For each piece the piano signals are handled in different ways. These include granular synthesis, looping, pitch shifting, reverse, analog filtering, delay, and reverberation, all modulated via a function generator, low frequency oscillators, and a sampling touch controller operated by the performer. John C.S. Keston is...

Elsewhere – Natsuki Sugiura

You can listen preview of this album on this page. The album is available on streaming platforms and on our Bandcamp. Elsewhere by Natsuki Sugiura Elsewhere - Natsuki Sugiura Elsewhere is a collection of electroacoustic works exploring places that seem to exist somewhere between memory and imagination. Rather than telling a clear story, each piece invites the listener to experience an unfamiliar landscape through sound. The album reflects on absence, distance, traces of human presence, and spaces that feel both familiar and unknown. Through field recordings, electronic textures, and carefully crafted sonic environments, the work encourages quiet listening and personal interpretation. Elsewhere is not a destination, but a place that gradually emerges through the act of listening. Natsuki Sugiura is...

Always Untils – Ben Zucker

You can listen preview of this album on this page. The album is available on streaming platforms and on our Bandcamp. Always Untils by Ben Zucker Always Untils - Ben Zucker "The metallurgic nature of most of my instrumental sound sources (vibraphone, brass instruments) is not underlooked. All of the names of realizations of this project relate to the nature of craft, combination, and energy that inform the project, and give alchemical significance to the live processing that underlies it.” Always Untils marks the next mystical step in Ben Zucker’s work with interactive electronics and feedback, previously documented on Alike Untils (1473 Recordings, October 2024). On that first album, Zucker’s vibraphone playing set the stage for...

Who says this ? - Michael Edwards by Henrique Portovedo Who says this ? - Michael Edwards - Henrique Portovedo “The saxophone was the first musical instrument I ever wanted to play. As a child I used to stare longingly at the beautiful instruments on display at the local music store in Chester, England, where I grew up. There was no chance of me owning or learning saxophone but I did get access to the clarinet through my school, and after that the oboe. I began writing for the saxophone as a...

Freedom Stone – Ugnė Makselytė

You can listen preview of this album on this page. The album is available on streaming platforms and on our Bandcamp. Freedom Stone by davaibegam Freedom Stone - Ugnė Makselytė This six-piece album is a semi-avant-garde exploration of rhythm as ritual, tracing trance states between pagan archetypes, medieval liturgy, and the anarchic energy of rave. Born from improvisation, the music draws on Baltic folklore, medieval chant, and personal memories of the Lithuanian countryside, weaving field recordings into arrangements that feel both organic and ceremonial. Half of the tracks are built solely on voice and vocal polyphony chant-like, prayerful, sometimes incantatory — while the other half lean toward repetitive electronic structures, nodding to techno’s physical insistence on the kick. This...

Wartime Monk – Francesco Pellegrino

You can listen preview of this album on this page. The album is available on streaming platforms and on our Bandcamp. You can read a review of this album in "A closer listen". Wartime Monk by Francesco Pellegrino Wartime Monk is an electronic solo performance played entirely through self-built controllers which, through the movements of the hands and fingers, control and perform sounds of different natures and origins, “filtering” them through the possibilities of the body and its gestures. The idea behind the project emerged after years of exploration, both musical—combining wind instruments with electronics—and technical, through the creation of controllers and pedalboards designed to bring the immediacy and naturalness of acoustic instruments into the...

UNDER – free collective improvisation

You can listen preview of this album on this page. The album is also available on all streaming platforms and on Bandcamp. UNDER by UNDER UNDER - free collective improvisation UNDER explores inner spaces through collective improvisation. The album was recorded binaurally over the course of a year in a single living room in the Lakelands of Denmark. More than fifty hours of sessions condense into nine pieces, from Sour les Pavés to La Plage. Four voices, piano, and fretless bass unfold along with the room’s natural sounds – wind, rustling, and occasional birdsong. The voices are used freely and collectively, with melody and harmony at the core, expanded through overtone singing and timbral exploration. A single...

Air Residue – Deniz Tafaghodi

You can listen preview of this album on this page. The album is only available on our Bandcamp. Air Residue by Deniz Tafaghodi Air Residue (Studies in Air and Silence) is an ongoing project exploring air as material, infrastructure, and condition. This album presents two tracks built from recordings of gas meters in Toronto, Halifax, Montreal, Tehran, and Zanjan, alongside air shafts, ventilation systems, and the subtle hiss of archival recordings. The sigh of air, the hum of gas meters, the quiet corners of rooms, and the hiss that usually gets cut out of sound form the core material. These “leftovers” are amplified and transformed, letting them speak for themselves. Failure to Lock-up unfolds as...

Lucidream Echo – Jena Jang

You can listen preview of this album on this page. The album is also available on all streaming platforms and on Bandcamp. Lucidream Echo by Jena Jang Lucidream Echo - Jena Jang Lucidream Echo is a digital EP by Jena Jang, documenting four live DIY noise improvisations recorded in Berlin on June 12, 2025. Operating at the threshold of machine and gesture, the sound builds, fractures, and dissolves into residual echo—suspended between activation and shutdown. [The Dream Log] Where the edges of sight and feeling get blurry, it slides into a clear, ghost-like trance. Standing right on the line between reality and sleep, it looks at the silence of the breathing stage. A low whisper is spoken...
