Graham Lambkin.
Graham Lambkin (b.1973, Dover, England) is a multidisciplinary artist/publisher whose work embraces audio, visual and text-based concerns. Lambkin first came to prominence in the early 90’s through the formation of his amateur music group The Shadow Ring, who fused a D.I.Y. post-punk aesthetic with folk music, cracked electronics, and surreal wordplay, to create a unique hybrid sound that set it apart from its peers, and continues to exert an influence today. After the dissolution of The Shadow Ring Lambkin embarked on a series of striking and highly original solo releases, including the critically acclaimed Salmon Run, Amateur Doubles, and Community, as well as undertaking a string of collaborative projects with the likes of Joe McPhee, Keith Rowe, Moniek Darge, Jason Lescalleet, Michael Pisaro, and most recently Áine O’Dwyer.

Nour Mobarak.
Nour Mobarak is a compelling new artist from Los Angeles whose work, as she describes “excavates violence and desire – the compulsions, and glitches in both a person or nation state.”

Mbé.
O experimentalismo surge da necessidade de significações para a vida negra, mas deixando de lado o sentimento da marginalização e subalternidade social. Desde que os nossos primeiros ancestrais chegaram aqui, grandes líderes e intelectuais negras e negros guerreiam para criar um novo olhar para as nossas experiências e a nossa amefricanidade. Ou seja, o experimentalismo aqui é por uma vida, muito além das limitações da música “experimental”

Nicholas Maloney.
Nicholas Maloney is a sound artist, multi-instrumentalist, and performer from Jackson, Mississippi. Working primarily in the areas of what could be called drone, ambient, musique concrète, and minimalism, Nicholas creates personal, evocative recordings, while at the same time offering a pallet of sound that can be used to practice the rewarding act of deep listening. He looks to challenge the listeners’ focus and perception of sound. Much of his work explores the textural nature of sound within a framework of progressing and evolving compositions. He is interested in the interaction among texture, sound, and space.

Luca Yupanqui.
Luca Yupanqui was not yet born when she recorded her debut album. The music on the aptly titled Sounds of the Unborn is the expression of life in its cosmic state — pre-mind, pre-speculation, pre-influence, and pre-human. It is the first album created by a person while they were still inside the womb, the expression of a soul that hasn’t yet seen the light of day nor taken a single breath of air. It is a message that comes from a different realm, a sublayer of our existence.

Yan Jun & Axel Dörner.
Yan Jun is a musician and poet based in beijing. He works with field recording, electronics, voice, body movement etc.
German trumpeter Axel Dörner has a unique style of playing based on unusual, often self-invented techniques that make use of breath and microscopic sounds as much as conventional note-playing – but that didn’t stop him winning the prestigious SWR Jazz Prize in 2006

Louis Dufort.
Canadian sound artist Louis Dufort pipes environmental recordings through software processes that belch out some of the more interesting DSP worlds we’ve heard in a minute. Not completely abstract, “VOLUME” offsets chattering metallic crunches with reverberating ambience, fashioning a world that’s equal parts organic and digital

Langham Research Centre.
Langham Research Centre came together in 2003 with the purpose of using a studio as their instrument: a studio with microphones and also, crucially, several ¼” tape machines. From the start they were interested in manipulating sound on tape and in focusing on one sound source, or a small number of sounds.

LST.
LST (Tarquin Manek) has released a slew of donked-up tapes under various guises and as part of the trio F ingers; via Night People, the recently deceased Blackest Ever Black, and Australian labels Another Dark Day and Chapter Music. As the title suggests, Hard Drive Vinegar contains material that rotted inside Manek’s hard drive from 2009 – 2019. Its decade timespan is surprising for such a cohesive work, especially with a geographic spread of recording at home in Australia and after relocating to Berlin. One of its enigmatic charms lies in how it seems to disregard time and place in favour of its own conformity; especially pertinent now while concepts like distance and closeness are both futile and ever-blending together in omnipresence. Distant like our next-door neighbours hemmed in and invisible, who are as close as those in other communities, cities and continents. As the hourglass marks the disappearance of time in one realm to record its swelling growth in its subterranean other, the belly of the infinity sign rotates upwards.

Masayuki Imanishi.
After several previous albums and collaborations with musicians such as Leif Elggren, Kouhei Matsunaga, Vampillia and The Body, with Worn Tape Japanese musician Masayuki Imanishi presents his first work for Moving Furniture Records.
On this album he presents 11 new works based on small sounds from objects, paper, radio and field recordings. Due to the various subtle sounds the album is a captivating work that stands out in a world where bombast seems to rule.
The sounds on this album come from his direct surroundings he comes across in his daily life, making this a very personal work.
It strikes how, with these abstract sounds, Imanishi knows to create a warm calming work that is not only experimental in its form, but at the same time easy to listen to.

Amateur Hour.
The songs talk for themselves, appealing both to the romantic indie-kid as the most elitist avantgardist. My mind ventures to referencing Nico’s The Marble Index and it’s lovechild with a Beat Happening tune. It’s Felt and Velvet Underground seen and interpreted through the Scandinavian experimental tradition, a sound not heard before anywhere.
