Throughout the Autumn of 2025 they met occasionally to improvise together. Nothing was recorded and the actual musical material was never discussed or prepared in advance. These sessions were simply more about settling into the same frequency and shared space, a form of grounding and breathing.At the end of the year, shortly before they each relocated to different countries, Jaakko and Magdalena got together once more to record an album.

Zosia Hołubowska explores the sonic afterlives of nuclear testing Out November 23, 2026 on our website, Bandcamp and streaming platforms.

Its...

(MICRON) DRIFT – \unexCoder relased on Elektramusic

With (micron) drift, Argentine composer and computer artist \unexcoder explores the shifting boundaries between algorithmic composition, improvisation and electronic sound.

Each piece traces the behaviour of a process in constant transformation, revealing subtle deviations...

New Release – John C.S. Keston – Consonant Dissonance

On Consonant Dissonance, composer and transdisciplinary artist John C.S. Keston explores the shifting relationship between acoustic performance and real-time electronic transformation. Across a series of improvised works, the sound of a Kawai RX-3 grand piano is continuously sampled, reshaped, and reintroduced through a bespoke modular synthesizer, creating an evolving dialogue between gesture, resonance, and technology. This release is available on Elektramusic website and on our Bandcamp. Rather than processing the piano after the fact, Keston performs with the modular system as an active musical partner. Granular synthesis, looping, pitch shifting, reverse playback, analog filtering, delay, and reverberation become integral elements of the improvisation, expanding the instrument's expressive range while preserving the immediacy of live...

Natsuki Sugiura – Elsewhere released on Elektramusic

Elektramusic welcomes Elsewhere, a new electroacoustic release by Japanese composer and sound artist Natsuki Sugiura. Conceived as a series of sonic environments, Elsewhere explores places suspended between memory and imagination. Through field recordings, electronic textures, and carefully shaped acoustic materials, the album unfolds without narrative, inviting attentive listening and personal interpretation. Its sound world lingers around absence, distance, and traces of human presence, revealing landscapes that remain both intimate and elusive. Sugiura's practice moves across elctroacoustic composition, sound art, and immersive forms, with a particular interest in the relationships between sound, space, and perception. Rather than describing places, her works create conditions in which they gradually emerge through listening itself. Awarded the FUTURA Prize at...

Micaela Trombini – Two New Explorations Between Memory, Presence and Inner Landscapes

Elektramusic is pleased to present two new releases by Italian composer and sound artist Micaela Trombini: The Ghost in the Projector Beam and The Dream Breathes With Me. Moving between electroacoustic composition, ambient textures and fragile cinematic atmospheres, these two albums explore different but deeply connected emotional territories — memory, perception, absence, intimacy and the physicality of sound itself. The Ghost in the Projector Beam On The Ghost in the Projector Beam, Micaela Trombini constructs a subtle and immersive sonic space where blurred memories, decaying images and suspended emotions seem to emerge from the background like fragments of forgotten films. The album unfolds slowly through layered drones, delicate harmonic movements and spectral textures, creating a feeling...

Let's talk with Paul Clouvel : about music streaming

Let’s talk with Paul Clouvel (part 1 : about streaming revenues)

We discuss different subjects such as streaming, gender equality in music, the life of a label today and other subjects with Paul Clouvel, composer, performer and especially the one who runs Elektramusic. Let's start with a subject that annoys many: revenue from music streaming. Elektramusic is a very active label online. Do you have a particular link to the internet? Yes from the start. For me the internet was emancipation. At the time, I was close to a major contemporary music institution in a small town in France. This kind of institution which has total contempt for the young composers that we were at the time. We were scheduled for their festival on Thursday...
