LP version. Peter Brötzmann collaborated with many artists in his career, regularly adding new compatriots into the fold, and Norwegian drummer Paal Nilssen-Love became one of his staunchest allies after the percussionist joined the Chicago Tentet in 2004. They worked in various contexts, including this inexhaustible, hard-hitting duo. Most of the albums they've issued have captured live performances, but in 2015 they made this stunning studio recording. As Nilssen-Love says in the liner notes, "Peter had acquired a contra-alto clarinet and was very enthusiastic about the sound of this instrument. I had also bought several Korean gongs which I hadn't used yet." They met up for a two-day session in Antwerp that August, and from the outset it feels different from much of their work.

Gush is the trio project of Sten Sandell, Raymond Strid and Mats Gustafsson, founded in May 1988 -- now reactivated and again touring. Free improvisation has always been the focus of the group after the initial drone experiments -- drone-based structures, with clear harmonic centers. In 2024, the members celebrate 36 years together as a group and present this live recording 25 years after it was made.

"After many years of going deeper into folk music traditions of the past, I finally saw the possibility of creating my own contemporary reading of the traditions I am so deeply inspired by. I was very impressed and inspired by deeper ethnic music from around the globe. Not 'understanding' it. But feeling it. Being blown away by it. Being completely speechless. Flabbergasted. Overthrown by it. Inside and out.... The initial idea behind Ensemble E was to combine traditions of contemporary music, noise, improvised music, free jazz and other experimental music fields and traditions with the deeper music traditions from where we all arrive.... Occasional instant conductions, instructional pieces and graphic scores balancing it all up into new forms of expression. New experiences. New memories. New knowledge. With old tools. Old knowledge. Sharing. Every player of Ensemble E was asked to bring in older (and contemporary) folk music songs that have affected them in some deeper ways, into the body of the Ensemble E. Sharing it. Together. Togetherness. Putting the older materials into new contexts. Bringing extreme diversity into play. This is deeper research/re-search of traditional and non-traditional ways of expressing folk music of Scandinavia, Portugal, Poland, Ukraine and more. Much more. By putting them next to each other/on top of each other/inside of each other. Creating new ways. The instrumentation of Ensemble E is spectacular in my ears, eyes and soul. Avoiding traditional prejudices. This is all about how it is shared. And with whom. And WHO we are. Creating old and new dreams together with the extraordinary playing by Sylwia, Arne, Susana, Daniel, Maniucha, and Helga. Traditional acoustic instruments in direct interactions and deeper tactility of complexities, where only the acoustic colors, interferences and spectrums from each individual instrument are communicating, without filters and electronic processing. Just perfectly balanced by sound genius Mikael Werliin in the live situation. The instant interaction between each individual player and the collective urge, perspectives and needs of the music will create a new platform, new possibilities, and new perspectives...." --Mats Gustafsson

In this quartet, Amado gathers three of his strongest longtime influences: German pianist Alexander von Schlippenbach, Norwegian double bass player Ingebrigt Håker Flaten, and American drummer Gerry Hemingway. For Amado this band represents a deep dive into his own formative roots, something he has been dealing with more and more in these last few years. With Schlippenbach, Håker Flaten, and Hemingway by his side, Amado has the perfect context to explore the classic materials he considers to be the basis of his journey as a musician, an impulse that is part him and part history. This is a quartet whose name really represents, aside from a direct homage to Sonny Rollins, a bridge between different languages, backgrounds and generations, all united through improvisation. Recorded by Bartosz Szkielkowski at Pardon To Tu, Warsaw, October 3rd, 2022. Mixed by Joaquim Monte and Rodrigo Amado. Master by David Zuchowski.

The End is near -- after two albums on the now defunct UK label Rare Noise, the powerful project of Sofia Jernberg (vocals), Kjetil Møster (clarinet and tenor saxophone), Mats Gustafsson (flutes, baritone saxophone and electronics), Anders Hana (baritone and bass guitar), and Børge Fjordheim (drums) releases their third album on Trost. They combine avant-rock, jazz, and a haunting beautiful voice to a seethe mix of emotions, noise, music -- a sonic landscape, dynamic, and captivating. This album is a true testament to the power of experimental music that continues to push boundaries and explore new sonic territories. Sofia Jernberg's voice is a central element -- her timbre and diverse vocal techniques set new accents and give the tracks an extraordinary emotional depth.

LP version. Album 2 is the second album by the Turkish synthwave duo Zack Zack Zack (Yigit Bakkalbasi and Cemgil Demirtas) based in Vienna, Austria. Their name is an artistic manifesto; a wordplay referring to the Austrian political disaster ("Ibiza Affair") from May 2019, which revealed the corrupted system of politics and lead to the government's fall. Their debut EP 1 from 2021 immediately caught international attention and Zack Zack Zack got invited to gothic/postpunk festivals in Germany and Sweden.

"Two grand pianos, quasi two orchestras, driven by two of the most distinguished personalities of contemporary jazz: Aki Takase and Alexander von Schlippenbach -- they are having a conversation within the medium of sound. But they complement one another in a way that makes any stylistic differentiation irrelevant. With all the transparency in the course of their playing the dialogical principle opens out into a holistic piano language. What counts is freedom and the responsibility to create something new, driven by the awareness of continuous change." --Bert Noglik
Liner notes by Alexander von Schlippenbach: "During the first attempts to improvise with four hands on the piano, it soon became clear that playing together without any conceptual guidelines -- of whatever kind -- can quickly lead to unwanted tautologies or even pleonasms. On the other hand, it is quite possible that with longer experience in practice, something useful will emerge. The present pieces, which were composed over a period of thirty years meet these criteria in different ways." Recording by Olaf Rupp at AA Studio on September 1-3 2021. Edited, mixed by Olaf Rupp on March 6, 2022. Photos by Manfred Rinderspacher and Georg Tuskany.

24 years after Hermann Nitsch's first realization of the six-day play (1998), his Gesamtkunstwerk once again took place in July 2022, shortly after the artist passed away in April. "The six-day play of the Orgien Mysterien Theater, is to become the greatest and most important festival of mankind (it is an aesthetic ritual of the glorification of existence). It is at the same time a popular festival and a mystery of existence brought to consciousness. The festival of the orgien mysterien theatre has no other pretext than the mystical glorification of our being here." --Hermann Nitsch. The Orgien Mysterien Theatre is an artistic endeavor. In addition to the visual idea of form, music plays an essential role. The basic concept of the play is based on a symphonic idea, performed by the Orgien Mysterien Theater Orchestra. The setting for the action was taking place in the castle complex in Prinzendorf with all its rooms, as well as the surrounding landscape of the Lower Austrian Weinviertel. Liner notes by the musical director of the o.m. theatre Andrea Cusumano (German and English). Concept: Hermann Nitsch. Recorded on July 30, 2022, Schloss Prinzendorf, Austria.

The alter ego, Gomberg, created by Austrian trumpeter Franz Hautzinger is a tool for him to "overcome his own limitations". Gomberg serves as a foil on which a second personality comes to life and does what he wants. The recordings on Gomberg III-V were made between 2006 and 2018, recorded in Vienna and Brest. Some of the tracks are occasion-related compositions or commissioned works, e.g. a signature for an art space or short works for films, some are the results of collaborations for theatre, performance artists, writers, and poets, others are understood as space- or site-related works, and finally, based on musical diary notes. Gomberg III-V is a monumental work of trumpet art, whether it is a big orchestral piece or a delicate rhapsody, Hautzinger's trumpet work simply serves as a vehicle for crossing borders. Personnel: Franz Hautzinger - quartertone trumpet, electronic devices, zither, voice, percussion. Liner notes by Burkhard Stangl. Mastered by Martin Siewert. Cover design and artwork by Lasse Marhaug.

Recorded at ADA in Peter Brötzmann's hometown Wuppertal as part of his 80th birthday concerts, Naked Nudes brings together two of his most unusual collaborators, Heather Leigh (pedal steel guitar) and Fred Lonberg-Holm (cello), for one of the most elegiac releases in his discography. The relationships between the players are tonally odd: woozy, mournful, almost baroque blues or even more chamber music in feel, the quality of the interplay is subtle and natural, like modern ballads. In the recordings, Peter is pushed more to the front and it's astounding to hear him playing with such strength after almost two years of inactivity; this is one of the first concerts he played while the world was still in the midst of the pandemic. You can feel the weight of the moment in these recordings and can imagine a captive audience under the spell of this strange music that never feels overstated, hurried, frantic or finding. Recorded on August 28, 2021 at INSEL | Kultur im ADA, Wuppertal. Produced by Brötzmann; Mastering 2022 by Martin Siewert. Design: Brötzmann/Untiet. Personnel: Peter Brötzmann - alto/tenor saxophone; Heather Leigh - pedal steel guitar; Fred Lonberg-Holm - cello/electronics.

Inspired by Georg Trakl's "Nocturnal Song" and recorded in separate locations during lockdown 2021. The Japanese free music players Harutaka Mochizuki and Makoto Kawashima excite with their haunting play in the spirit of Kaoru Abe -- beautiful and sad and violent at the same time. The French lap steel guitarist Michel Henritzi mixes the pieces together, they float naturally into a melancholic but vibrant sound poem, evocating their ghosts, their desires, and feeling the mood of Trakl's poem, the dread of lonesome dark nights. Mixed by Kevin Le Quellec, in Metz, 2021. Mastered by Martin Siewert, in Vienna, 2022. Calligraphy by Fuji Yuki, artwork by Michel Henritzi. Personnel: Makoto Kawashima - alto saxophone; Harutaka Mochizuki - alto saxophone; Michel Henritzi - lap steel, guitar feedback.

Limited restock. Schwarzwaldfahrt is a magical document of a moment out of time, a moment when the saxophone player Peter Brötzmann and percussionist Han Bennink made a journey deep into the heart of the Black Forest with early portable recording equipment and cameras. The recordings that they made there were released as the Schwarzwaldfahrt album by FMP in 1977 and it remains a free music classic, recorded completely in the open air, with Bennink and Brötzmann duetting with the birds, playing in the water, drumming on great natural xylophones made of logs and catching the sounds of airplanes strafing the skies. It is a music of eternal expansion, of elemental communion. This new book comes with the original recordings on a CD and is assembled round a treasure trove of newly discovered photographs taken during the trip by both Brötzmann and Bennink -- photographs of each other, of their lodgings, of their ritual communions, of their route into, and out of the forest. "It's so lonely, this music, these two friends, making music on their own, in all of this space, and back of time, now, too, a document of a world that seems less populated -- by people, by ideas, by demands, by the tyranny of modern time, itself." --pre-liminal poetic text by David Keenan Peter Brötzmann & Han Bennink: e-flat clarinet, b-flat clarinet, bass clarinet, soprano saxophone, alto saxophone, birdcalls, viola, banjo, cymbals, wood, trees, sand, land, water, air. 120 page book; 20x20cm; edition of 1000.

Double LP version. Spectacular live recording from 1986 of two seminal figures of the Japanese avantgarde -- Akira Sakata on saxophone and Takeo Moriyama on drums. Mitochondria captures the reunion of the two free jazz masters, who started playing together in the Yosuke Yamashita Trio in 1972 until 1975. For both, the experience with the trio was an important step in the development of their own career and musicianship. The recordings are a remarkable performance in which each successfully highlights the essential elements of his playing while giving of room for the other musician. Recorded at Kashiwa Church Chiba Pref. in Japan on May 24, 1986 by Yukio Tezuka on Sony stereo cassette recorder. Mixed by Jim O'Rourke, Mastered by Martin Siewert.
