Die Schachtel / Blume Editions

Easily one of the most striking and memorable releases by either artist to appear in recent years, Sergio Armaroli and David Toop's "And I Entered Into Sleep", issued as the tenth and final album in Die Schachtel's Decay Music series, traverses uncharted realms at the borders of literary reference, sound art, ambience and abstraction through delicately musical sounds, revealing new depths at every turn.

An aural bridge between two distinct generations of Italian experimental and electroacoustic musicians, "Liminale" is the debut collaborative outing from the creative partnership of Luigi Turra and Elio Martusciello.

"I hate all the words" by Luca Scarabelli and Michele Lombardelli's Untitled Noise, the eight instalments in the celebrated Die Schachtel's "Decay music" series, is a concept album composed of three tracks designed to explore the remote and hidden depths of psyche.

The first ever vinyl release to attend to James Tenney's legendary "Postal Pieces", marking the first ever appearance of five of the suite's works on vinyl, drawing upon recordings made in 2003, by the Amsterdam based ensemble, The Barton Workshop, under the direction of James Fulkerson.

Two sides off shimmering, tense compositions—culminating as one of Alessandra Novaga's most creatively ambitious and conceptually rich outings to date—freely inspired by the life and work of the Russian director Andrej Tarkovsky and the music of Johann Sebastian Bach.

The debut of the duo Damāvand (Gianluca Ceccarini and Alessandro Ciccarelli), a tribute to the 18th Century Armenian poet and musician Sayat Nova, weaves a sprawling sense of rhythmic abstraction from ancient poetic touchstone, offering further proof that the future of ambient music is now.

Occupying a remarkable middle ground between the operatic, the abstractions of experimentalism, and seductive qualities of popular music, Italian berlin-based composer, performer and publisher Claudio Rocchetti has created an entirely singular from of electroacoustic practice, as though Philip Glass' Operas were tossed into a blender run by Alvin Lucier. Thrilling, deeply engaging, and bordering on the visionary, this transportive wonder taps the melancholic and ecstatic alike.

Riding the razor's edge between bristling electroacoustic wizardry and the constrained structures and harmonic interplay of musical minimalism, "Immanent in Nervous Activity" is Die Schachtel's new release from the creative partnership of Giovanni Di Domenico and Jim O'Rourke, joining the conversant vision of two of the most striking voices within the field of contemporary sound.

Binding a deep social and political conscious with rigorous musical experimentation, the Brussels based, Italian pianist, performer, composer, Giovanni Di Domenico, delivers Downtown Ethnic Music, the 4th instalment of Die Schachtel's Decay Music series, focused on inspired contemporary experimental efforts in the ambient, ethereal, and emotively abstract music.

The first ever vinyl reissue of the seminal "New Music for Electronic and Recorded Media", from 1977, arguably the most important feminist statement in the history of experimental music, illuminating the work of Johanna M. Beyer, Annea Lockwood, Pauline Oliveros, Laurie Spiegel, Megan Robert, Ruth Anderson, and Laurie Anderson.

Creatively visionary and groundbreaking on numerous terms, as well as being intoxicatingly beautiful and remarkably listenable, Ben Vida's "Vocal Trio" represents a striking step forward for one of the most ambitious and outstanding sonic artists working in the United States today.

The original score composed by Paolo Spaccamonti for the eponymous theatrical production directed by Valerio Binasco and produced by Teatro Stabile di Torino. The music, both haunting and subtle, mirrors the play's minimalist and intense staging, immersing listeners in an evocative soundscape that blends ambient textures with guitar-driven melodies.
