Jazz & Improvisation

Dionee (Beriault / Normand / Servant): Mille-feuilles [VINYL]
(Tour de Bras / Circum-Disc)

Quebec trio Dionee creates an expansive, cinematic sound from Clarisse Beriault's oboe, acoustic bass and effects, Eric Normand's electric bass, beatbox and oscillators, and Robin Servant's diatonic accordion and synthesizers, layering chamber lyricism, heavy pulses, post-rock clarity and fragmented electroacoustic textures across two extended works of orchestral scope.

Expanse Percussion Edition: Clash Of The Clompers
(Evil Clown)

Expanse Percussion Edition assembles 10 improvisers for a long-form work balancing reeds, brass, fretless bass, electronics, drum sets, membrane percussion, and an immense array of auxiliary instruments, using rapid doubling and constant instrumental changes to create organic transformations through shifting densities, layered rhythms, broad contrasts, and continuously evolving electroacoustic sonorities.

Listen

Lauro, Audrey / Christian Pruvost / Peter Orins: Dans-sons as we are
(Tour de Bras / Circum-Disc)

Audrey Lauro's alto saxophone, Christian Pruvost's trumpet and Peter Orins' drums develop a finely balanced language of breath, resonance, friction and unstable pulse, transforming granular textures, acoustic accidents and fleeting gestures through attentive collective improvisation, where silences, tensions and shifting densities continually reshape the trio's shared sonic space.

Leandre, Joelle / Remy Belanger de Beauport: Jeux De Mains [VINYL]
(Tour de Bras)

Joelle Leandre on double bass and Remy Belanger de Beauport on violoncello engage in eight finely attuned live improvisations, moving between visceral arco attacks, percussive pizzicato, string scrape, fragile micro-gestures, resonant drones, and sudden silences, dissolving conventional instrumental roles through an alert, risk-taking dialog that balances raw intensity with spaciousness, textural detail, and quietly unfolding form.

Neurodivergent Orchestra (aka The Wacky Banter Orchestra): On The Evilness Of Clowns
(Evil Clown)

The Neurodivergent Orchestra combines reeds, brass, guitar, bass, drums, electronics, toys, clown horns, and real-time processing with fully improvised "wacky banter," framing a mock academic presentation on evil clowns that moves through history, popular culture, and surreal invention while balancing theatrical humor, spontaneous storytelling, and the broad-palette electroacoustic improvisation of the Evil Clown aesthetic.

Orzano, Tony / Bryan Rohmer / Jeremy Wexler: Blown Fuse
(Sonic Index Works)

Returning after their 577 Records debut, Long Island improvisers Tony Orzano on alto saxophone and clarinet, Bryan Rohmer on guitar, and Jeremy Wexler on drums deliver ten volatile, unedited performances, rapidly shifting between abrasive free jazz, fractured punk momentum, distorted noise, skewed grooves, and spacious textural exchanges on the inaugural release from Orzano and Rohmer's Sonic Index Works imprint.

Simulacrum: Natural Language Processing
(Evil Clown)

Simulacrum's expanded lineup brings David Peck, Michael Caglianone, John Fugarino, Cyrus Shauoul, Robin Amos, Jonathan LaMaster, and Michael Knoblach together for a dense electroacoustic improvisation, layering reeds, brass, violin, bass, synthesizers, spoken-word interludes, signal processing, and unusual percussion into a continuously shifting field of tightly coordinated textures and sonorities.

Experimental/Electronic

Reid, Virginie: Mille Soleils A L'oeil Nu [VINYL]
(Virginie Reid )

Montreal composer Virginie Reid layers piano, synthesizers, samples, voice, Jeremi Roy's resonant double bass, and Erika Angell's spectral vocals into five patient electroacoustic works, moving from fragile melodic gestures through cavernous drones and luminous choral textures in an intimate, nocturnal meditation on grief, vulnerability, memory, and the persistent search for light.

Quatuor Bozzini, Orchestre de l'Agora, Plaisirs du clavecin: Alexandre David: Photogrammes
(Collection QB)

Composer Alexandre David brings together Quatuor Bozzini, Plaisirs du clavecin, Orchestre de l'Agora, conductor Nicolas Ellis, and Innu poet and vocalist Natasha Kanape Fontaine in 3 works that balance concentrated string writing, voice & text, and vivid orchestral color, reflecting David's fascination with sonority, collaborative creation, and the transformation of personal musical memories.

Quatuor Bozzini: Jurg Frey: String Quartets
(Collection QB)

Montreal-based Quatuor Bozzini records Jurg Frey's Streichquartett (1988) at Radiostudio Zurich, shaping spare scales, measured intervals, and quietly sustained tones into music of unusual clarity and concentration, where seemingly anonymous material reveals its own distinct character through space, duration, resonance, and the tactile presence of sound.

Quatuor Bozzini: Owen Underhill: Songs and Quartets
(Collection QB)

Quatuor Bozzini performs works by Canadian composer Owen Underhill, joined by countertenor Daniel Cabena and sackbut player Jeremy Berkman in settings of 17th-century poetry, alongside two string quartets shaped by encounters with John Cage, quoted musical fragments, natural landscapes, specific places, and personal memory, balancing lucid formal design with vocal expression and finely detailed instrumental color.

Scott, Ryan: 21st-Century Canadian Snare Drum [2 CDs]
(Collection QB)

Toronto percussionist Ryan Scott premieres fourteen commissioned works by Canadian composers, revealing the snare drum's remarkable range through traditional and extended techniques, electronics, objects, cymbal, bass drum, metal plates, and voice, while presenting a vivid survey of contemporary Canadian percussion writing and expanding the instrument's solo repertoire.

Squid Note Records is our in-house label created to support adventurous new recordings. We launched Squid Note Records to release music we believe in — directly, carefully, and fairly. But we didn't set out with a formal plan to start a label. Squid Note grew from conversations with artists who trusted us and asked for a way to release work that might not otherwise find its audience.

So this isn't simply "our" label. It's something we are building together with the musicians themselves. The direction is shaped as much by the artists as by us — a collaborative effort grounded in mutual respect and shared commitment; each release is an equal partnership.

Ivo Perelman / Damon Smith: Duologue 6: Core of Existence
The sixth entry in Ivo Perelman's expanding Duologues series, and the sixth album in Squidco's digital label Squid Note Records, pairs his searching tenor saxophone with Damon Smith's commanding double bass, a freely improvised exchange of raw physical immediacy and deep listening, where intertwining lines, extended techniques and spontaneous form turn dialogue itself into the core of the music.
