An album of covers of French songs (Georges Moustaki, Brigitte Fontaine, Serge Gainsbourg, Léo Ferré, Jacques Brel, Nino Ferrer...) by The Recyclers (Noël Akchoté, Benoît Delbecq and Steve Argüelles) featuring Philippe Katerine, Ignatus, Sasha Andres and Irene Jacob.

Eighth album of the Workshop of Lyon, it is also their first entirely improvised disc, recorded by Jean-Marc Foussat.

Solo recording made at Instants chavirés. In 9 tracks, Noël Akchoté goes from pure noise to guitar hero solo worthy of Woodstock.

The second album by the improvisation trio Benoît Delbecq / Steve Arguëlles / Noël Akchoté (and the very first for the Rectangle label founded by Quentin Rollet and Noël Akchoté), recorded live in Quebec City and Vancouver during a tour of Canada in 1995.

Derek Bailey and Eugene Chadbourne in an improvised duet, recorded live on January 2, 1995.

A mix of absurd poetry and homemade music, these seven songs and two instrumentals give life to Frédéric Le Junter and Pierre Berthet's musical creations founded on quirky objects.

Unreleased recordings from Vandoeuvre's Musique Action Festival, produced between 1998 and 1992 for the festival's 10th anniversary. The blossoming style of the music of the 80s can be heard throughout the album.

Art production of the last few decades has given rise to an increasing number of ambiguous or paradoxical situations related to the musical form (score, stage area, lute-making, CD, video...) thus transcending the traditional divisions between space, time and movement.

For his first ever conceptual piece from 1990, Frédéric Acquaviva collaborated with Australian pianist Mark Knoop on the recording of all harmonic frequencies using only the damper pedal of a piano.

This trio has only one line of instrumentation and remains in total harmony throughout, though the melodies and the rhythms often arise from unexpected places. An incisive and vertiginous climb towards pleasure and dreams, street music and dance music; these fragile and volatile moments were fixed in concert in Vandœuvre in 1989.

These tracks were recorded during the 1985 Musique Action Internationale festival, organised by CCAM. This vinyl record is a remnant of those days dedicated to new music.

The legendary reference monograph, with the musical piece Spatiodynamisme by Pierre Henry on a 45RPM vinyl record.

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.

A limited edition repress of the remastered album "Descending Moonshine Dervishes" by Terry Riley, originally recorded live in Berlin in 1975 and released by Kuckuck in 1982.

Devoted to Mount Athos in Eastern Greece, FLEE's sixth project explores the musical tradition of this important Orthodox site.

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.

Some of the earliest works by American composer Phill Niblock, including three never before released pieces: "Index" (1969), "Tenor," and "Boston III" (both from 1972). Until now, it's been impossible to encounter Niblock's compositions from earlier than the 1960s, a reality thankfully rectified by the long overdue publication of this LP on Alga Marghen.

Released in Sub Rosa's Early Electronic series, this LP reveals the extraordinary diversity of research—almost all hidden—by Spanish musicians in the '50s and '60s.

Baudouin de Jaer pursues his exploration of the geomungo, a traditional six-string Korean bass zither, with a wordless opera in three acts.

A split album as part of the GRM Portraits series bringing together two pieces by Jessica Ekomane (explores the multiple possibilities of polyphonic writing) and Laurel Halo (for piano and electronics).

"UFO Forest +" is the third and most alchemically satisfying archival anthology of unreleased material from the Argentinian composer, building on a growing recognition of her poetic, psychosonic investigations ongoing since her studies in the early 60's with Nadia Boulanger and Edgardo Canton, and at the renowned Parisian institute INA-GRM.

A series of electric guitar duet meditations.

The debut, self-titled album from German trio Schatterau: 15 elegant miniature pieces made with an old 4-track cassette recorder, offering a lo-fi walk through a patchwork of warm, nostalgic, dreamlike and strangely familiar soundscapes.

Four purely electroacoustic pieces recorded between 1994 and 2002 by the Argentine composer and theorist.

Out of the Grid presents a critical selection of 100 Italian zines from 1978 to 2006 that display a broad spectrum of social, political, aesthetic, and technological changes in the use of language and communication strategies across the territory of self publishing.

Two monumental pieces for flutes and additional voices.

Trances, Jules Reidy's follow-up to the celebrated World in World (2022), gathers twelve tracks shifting between fragment and epic, returning to familiar phrases between forays outward into uncertain expanses. Through its exploration of the cyclical movements of grief and emotional turbulence, Trances produces a sonic world as raw, absorbing, and surprising as anything Reidy has created to date.

The story of Jesus, or that of a fin-de-siècle anarchist, by the sapphic poet Renée Vivien (1877-1909), accompanied by a new piece by Nurse With Wound on CD.

The penultimate Blank Forms anthology presents new, in-depth interviews with musicians Theo Parrish, Amelia Cuni, Akio Suzuki, and more.

Lucy Railton trusts in the nuance of her own creative instincts on an intensely modern, quietly radical second for Modern Love.

A project exploring the sounds of glaciers, captured in crevasses, glacial torrents or moraine folds using microphones, hydrophones and seismic sensors.

A long-distance correspondence reflecting on the infravoice of a blue whale and other so-called “silent” subjects.

From his early days with Henry Cow, Fred Frith was seen as a brilliant instrumentalist and improviser, but what has been overlooked is what a first-rate composer he is. This recording offers both aspects. His most complex orchestral composition and two selected improvisations with the Ensemble Musiques Nouvelles.

The second collaboration between Stephen O'Malley and Anthony Pateras, this time entirely acoustic, based around an acoustic guitar and prepared piano: a music that seems suspended, captivating by its almost organic coherence and modal simplicity, behind which resonances and subtle plays of pitch develop.

Archival documents and new writings on the intermedia collaborations of avant-garde jazz trumpeter Don Cherry and textile artist Moki Cherry.

An exploration into the complexity of sounds drawn exclusively from glass (reissue of the record released in 1970, remastered by Lawrence English).

The recording from Carl Michael Von Hausswolff and Erik Pauser's tumultuous and inspiring tour of the USA in 1991, with a book tracing the adventure and documenting the context of the time.

One of the deepest drone albums ever recorded: nine trombones, didjeridu and Tibetan bells fill the massive two million gallon cistern with dense sonic reverberations that are both haunting and healing.
