snwv – music at a distance 280 (Self-Released)
Label Description:
One element of creativity that’s undervalued, I think, is whim. We can make plans and restrict ourselves to certain forms, but newness and variety can enter by following a thought in the moment. Right before this performance, I thought of using some clipped string ends and the violin bow as ways of exciting the strings, and adding unintentional sounds. As a result, some of these pieces have sonic profiles that are unusual for this series.
The resulting timbres have the quality of small, distant bells, or sounds from an indeterminate instrument. The conventionally played notes often resemble low brass or wind instruments. These pieces are in line with the meditative quality of the series, though the timbral variety suggests new areas to explore.
The titles of these pieces are references to the visual and performance art of Hamish Fulton. Thank you for listening!

Zane Trow – Ibis (Room40)
Label Description:
A note from Zane
the moon, wisdom, knowledge, writing, hieroglyphs, science, magic, art and
… judgment, so they say
i have got to know a stand of sixteen Ibis quite well over the last few years, never any trouble
we live in times of rising fascism once more, though of course, it has never been far away. the endless war stretches on. the whole system – the onslaught of inhumane competition, the normalisation of cruelty, racism, genocide …
“ni dios, ni estado, ni patrón” …
from the stand there is one Ibis, once or twice every day, to oversee an avocado tree and keep a keen eye, just in case some avos might fall … the tree is forty years old … the bill well skilled.

most of the field recordings here are from the same stretch of wetlands and riverside. many birds live there, and they try their best not to offend anyone, but their habitat will soon be scraped out and covered in crude development. there are three recordings of the same lagune at different times of day, one is treated and overlayed on another … and one is annotated with a distant creek at nightfall, in the mountains after a cyclone. there is also a bell, treated, from the ice cream truck that, for the last twenty years or so, has passed up my street every month …
in the evolving electronics, feedback styling and synthesis improvisation there is an abiding interest in the raveling and unraveling of sonic textures .. exploring unresolved tensions between ideas of time and space, the recorded and the live, the analogue and the digital, the real and the unreal …

Dead Voices On Air – Silence, Melt And Mourn (Re:Mission Entertainment)
Label Description:
Re:Mission Entertainment is proud to announce SILENCE, MELT AND MOURN, the new album from Dead Voices on Air, arriving October 31st, 2025. Created during preparations for a US tour, the album features new material alongside reimagined versions of songs from across Mark Spybey’s career. The live set will include selections originally released by Download, Beehatch, DVOA, and other collaborative projects. Working with Nathan Jamiel of The Drood and longtime friend Stephen Weatherall, Spybey approached the process by writing new music and revisiting older work with fresh arrangements and a renewed focus on vocals and song structure. SILENCE, MELT AND MOURN is a reflection of that journey, built on collaboration, reinvention, and respect for the creative voices that shaped it.

Nathan Jamiel, Mark Spybey and Stephen Weatherall

Moljebka Pvlse – An Expression Of A Poetry That Was Lost (Zoharum)
Label Description: Once again, the Swedish-German project invites their listeners into its musical world, intricately woven from subtle melodies, warm, delicate drone structures, and the sounds of exotic instruments, over which hangs an aura of the extraordinary, shimmering with particles of light, bathed in summer sunlight, evoking fragrances from the farthest corners of the globe. Once again, MOLJEBKA PVLSE recorded the material with a four-member lineup. “An Expression of a Poetry That Was Lost” comprises two longer compositions, where, alongside electronics, we hear live instruments, and darker moments give way to exotic sounds, reflective melodies, and a fleeting aura of mystery. This is the next release showing that this band still has much to say…
The album is available in two formats: CD and LP.
BLOOM & Christopher Nosnibor – Journeys Through Inner Space (Petroglyph Music)
Label Description:
Some words from Christopher Nosniborr regarding the release:
Journeys Through Inner Space
Art, in all of its many forms, often helps us to understand the world, and, indeed, ourselves. It’s also true that works which are the most personal for the creator have a wider resonance, in that they have the capacity to articulate for others something that reaches beyond art as entertainment, and that often, in the personal lies the universal. For a long time, I have found the act of writing has helped me navigate some of the most challenging times, and particularly recently, I have come to discover the catharsis of laying bare some of my most innermost thoughts on the page, and bringing these to performance.
The texts which form the narratives of Journeys Through Inner Space are taken from my novel The Deserted Island, and work in progress, Reflections on a Life, and explore themes of anxiety, bewilderment, and bereavement. These are not light or easy topics, and are topics we often shy away from. Because they are uncomfortable. But they are realities of life, and while we may wish otherwise, the stark fact is that they will likely affect us all in some way or another at some point. In these pieces, I speak only from my own experiences of my journeys through inner space.
‘Am I Really Having This Conversation?’, and ‘A Slew of Likes and Handy Hints’ – original texts appear in The Deserted Island (Clinicality Press, 2022).
All other texts from Reflections on a Life (unpublished).
The words to ‘Last Days’ appeared on a track bearing a variant title on the Last Days EP (self-released, 2023)

I played Guitar for „The Art of Illusion“ ( Prog-Rock) from 1994-2003 We recorded two Albums together after the Band splits I search for new ways in Music . I am a Fan of Steve Roach/Tangerine Dream and Kitaro since 1992 so I decide to try out this musical path till now . Sometimes I mix it up with (processed) Guitars, but 90% are made by Synthesizer and Software Plugins. In 201I get a Job offer to compose the Score for the short animation Movie „Employee of the Day“ from Alexander Isert/Christoph Kellner. I recorded 5 full releases and some single release so far.

Anatoly Grinberg – Snowing (Ant-Zen)
Label Description:
snow pellets are small, resilient spheres or irregular fragments of crystallized snow, often encasing frozen water within their compact structures. born through delicate atmospheric processes, partial melting, refreezing, or the gradual compaction of snow by wind, they embody the intricate geometry of winter’s transient artistry.
this winter, anatoly grinberg invites us into his newest creation: a resonant world of granular synthesis where sound becomes sculpture, and the hush of frozen air turns into music – a space where science dissolves seamlessly into poetry.

releases November 4, 2025
anatoly grinberg, known by his artistic moniker tokee, is a moscow-based sound mixer, mastering engineer, and composer whose work bridges film, television, and experimental electronica. he refined his craft in sound engineering and mastering at the israeli school of sound in tel aviv, where his fascination with the hidden architecture of sound began to take shape.
since the early 2000s, anatoly grinberg has sculpted sonic landscapes that balance emotional resonance with meticulous precision, marking the emergence of a distinct and contemplative voice within the electronic avant-garde. through the influential ant-zen label, he has collaborated with artists including mark spybey, gwenn tremorin (flint glass), and andreas davids (xotox), each project revealing new dimensions of his immersive and introspective sound world.
